“They now have a home...”

Police station begins west of IH-35 despite local concerns By Breyana Segura

Pearsall city councilors' failure to rally a quorum during a special meeting on Thursday, February 21, regarding the location of the new police station left citizens with unanswered questions. City officials and police hosted a groundbreaking ceremony at 911 Veterans Drive on the west side of IH-35 Wednesday afternoon, February 20 for the new law enforcement

center, heralding construction of a purposedesigned police station, a

which the police department has been housed in the past two decades. One of those

structures was destroyed by an arsonist and two have been condemned. The location of the new facility, however, remains a subject of contention among elected officials and local residents, some of whom attended last week's council meeting to voice their concerns. The groundbreaking was held less than a week after interim City Manager Robert Tobias signed a contract for

CISD adds bond issue to election ballot Up to $5M in new funds, plus refinancing old loan

By Marc Robertson

With a view to repairing and modernizing its campuses, adding vehicles to its fleet and keeping up with technology in education, the Cotulla ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Monday night,

February 25 to put a $5 million bond issue on the next election ballot. The proposition will be one of two added to the election for school board members, the other being a request for permission to refinance an existing loan and to move its debt obligation from the 'maintenance & operations'

(M&O) ledger to the 'interest and sinking' (I&S) accounts at Cotulla ISD, thereby freeing up funds in the district's operations budget and protecting funds from recapture by the state of Texas. In 2012, Cotulla ISD was listed

$1.3M construction project. Councilors had voted in favor of the plan on January 22, following a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Roland Segovia, seconded by Councilor Abel Nieto. “I signed the contract on February 14,” Tobias said. “The company has 304 days to complete the 5,000-square-foot project.” Tobias said he expects the company to “kick it out” within the projected timeframe. Mayor Albert Alvarez and

Councilors Conrad Carrasco and Odilia Villarreal listened to questions and concerns from citizens at the meeting on Feb. 21. Mayor Pro Tem Segovia, Councilors Nieto, James Houston Leal, Chris Valadez and Alex Hernandez were not in attendance. Concerns from the public centered on police response time due to the headquarters moving from downtown Pearsall to the west side of the interstate. Chief Martinez said last week that he believes police

response time would not be affected because the department's police cars are equipped with new computers that enable officers to file their reports "from the field." “The officers are able to file their reports directly from their patrol cars,” Chief Martinez said. “Not only will this eliminate having to return to headquarters all the time, it keeps our officers in the field on duty, and we all know that police visibility is one of the great crime deterrents.” Additional concerns included the value of the land on which the new city facility is being built. “Why do we need to spend $1.3 million when we can easily remodel something downtown?” one citizen said. “We could sell that land and make some money.”

of the team that helped bring the fugitive into custody, Ruiz was found in possession of two shotguns, a rifle, a handgun and ammunition. He was also found in the company of a girlfriend, identified as 21-year-old Karen Juarez Arteaga of Kimberly, Idaho. During the early-morning raid, officers discovered Arteaga in possession of marijuana and arrested her without incident on a Class B misdemeanor charge of drug possession. According to both Deputy Gonzalez and Sgt. Olivarez, the fugitive was first arrested without incident at the ranch and was transported to the Roy Sturges Law Enforcement Center in Cotulla for booking, whereupon he made an escape attempt. "The fugitive was not handcuffed during the booking procedure," Sgt. Olivarez said. "He made his escape attempt by trying to overpower Deputy Gonzalez and me. He managed to grab a hold of a can of pepper spray and tried to use it. It didn't go well for him after that. "Ruiz managed to to struggle his way into

a part of the building that was secure," the sergeant said. "That was where we contained him. We prevented him from gaining any access to unsecured areas of the building after that." Sgt. Olivarez confirmed that Deputy Gonzalez required treatment at the scene from medics with the Cotulla EMS but noted that neither officer had sustained serious injury. Ruiz now faces two additional felony counts of aggravated assault on a public servant and a felony charge of attempting to escape from custody. He has since been transported to the Crystal City Corrections Center. Investigations continue into Ruiz' alleged hide-out at the ranch near Encinal and whether his uncle played a part in making the facility available to an escaped fugitive. Deputy Gonzalez has reported that the US Department of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms may investigate and press for prosecution of the suspect for his alleged felony possession of the firearms that were found at the ranch on Feb. 21.

among the wealthiest districts in the region as a direct result of rising mineral valuations during the oil and gas play over the Eagle Ford Shale and, as a result, was notified that it would stop receiving state support and would be required to pay some of its property and mineral tax revenues back to the state. The rule, commonly nicknamed "Robin Hood," is applied to wealthy districts whose recaptured property tax revenues are sent to economically disadvantaged districts in other parts of the state. In years past, Cotulla ISD has been the recipient of such funds to help the district pay for its operations, including teacher salaries. During the 2013-14 academic year, Cotulla ISD will be required to repay as much as $17 million to the state of Texas from its tax revenues, according to Superintendent Dr. Jack Seals, who said in an interview this week that the recapture applies only to funds held in the school district's maintenance and operations accounts. "Recapture will be heavy in 2013-14," the superintendent said this week. "We will have approximately two to two and a half million dollars less to run the school with than we did in 2011-12." Overall estimates for

Cotulla ISD operations indicate that it costs a little over a million dollars per month to run the school district. The school district's QZAB (Qualified Zone Academy Bond) debt that currently remains in the maintenance and operations accounts will be refinanced and moved into the I&S ledger if voters approve the proposition on the May 11 election. According to the school district, approximately six and a half million dollars remain on the loan debt. Addressing the school district's proposed $5 million bond issue, the superintendent said financial advisors EstradaHinojosa and bond counsel Escamilla & Ponek made recommendations to the board outlining what benefits they believe the school district may derive from the funds. According to the superintendent, Cotulla ISD has a number of needs in facility upgrades, notably at its high school and Francis Keithley gymnasiums, where dressing rooms, weight rooms and other facilities are inadequate and in poor repair. Furthermore, Supt. Seals said, the school district may soon need to add vehicles to its fleet of buses. These upgrades and others, he said, may be paid with funds

from one or more bond sales pending voter approval. Also drawing attention at the school board is the changing nature of today's classroom needs and the development of the iPad touch-screen portable computer for instruction. Observing such programs now being introduced at other school districts, Supt. Seals said he believes Cotulla ISD will soon adopt new technology to meet instructional and students' demands for high-speed interactive and versatile curriculum delivery. If voters give the go-ahead for the school district to sell bonds, trustees are not required to put the district into $5 million in debt immediately, the superintendent said, but are likely to order bond sales only when needs have been prioritized and spending targets set, as well as the tax levies that will be required for repayment.

“Live to spend time with your family.” That is the vision of the Frio County Translational Advisory Board (TAB), a local community group with members of varying backgrounds from healthcare, volunteer, education and faith-based sectors. Its mission is to represent the community and improve communitybased participatory research and educational outreach activities. The Frio TAB’s partners include the South Central Area Health Education Center and the University of Texas School of Public – San Antonio Regional Campus. Presently, the Frio TAB is addressing an issue its members believe is of primary concern to South Texas residents, namely diabetes. To that end, the group has launched its Frio County Diabetes Prevention & Treatment Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to create a community awareness campaign with local organizations,

SBA disaster loans available Small non-farm businesses in the Texas counties of Dimmit, Frio, Kinney, La Salle, Maverick, Medina, Uvalde and Zavala are now eligible to apply for low-interest federal disaster loans from the US Small Business Administration (SBA). "These loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the drought that began February 12, 2013, in Zavala County," said Alfred E. Judd, Director of SBA's Disaster Field Operations Center West. "SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster," Judd said. Small non-farm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred. "Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. The loans have an interest rate of four percent for businesses and 2.875 percent for private, nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years, and are available to small businesses and most private, nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship," Judd said. By law, SBA makes EIDLs available when the US Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack declared the disaster on February 20. Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency (FSA) about the US Department of Agriculture

according to Michael Thompson at Frio Regional Hospital. "Diabetes was chosen as the primary focus of the Frio TAB after several public events in 2011 and 2012 where held and individuals shared their concern about the local rise of diabetes," Thompson said. "Community members expressed that they felt that the best way to address diabetes was to create a local awareness campaign. "Why diabetes? You may be asking, 'What is diabetes and how much of a problem is it?'” Thompson said. "Diabetes is a disease in which individuals have high blood sugar levels because the body is not able to

make or use insulin. Insulin is needed to break down sugars. Diabetes is usually a lifelong disease." The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention reports that approximately 25.6

million (11.3%) adults have diabetes. According to the Frio TAB, it is estimated that eight percent of Frio County adults have been diagnosed

Special Pioneer Day Feature...

The Old Frio Jail: A Brief History Contributed by Mona Hoyle rio County will host its annual Pioneer Day on Saturday, March 23 on the grounds of the Old Frio Pioneer Jail & Museum in Pearsall, with historic exhibits, demonstrations, cooking and live entertainment for all ages, and museum tours of the community's oldest building. The event focuses on the early settlers of the region, the beginnings of the ranches and communities that now make up South Texas and, most significantly, the way of life of the pioneers who traveled through and made their home in the Wintergarden and Brush Country. At the heart of the festivities stands the historic county jail, which now incorporates a museum that includes many of the tools and furnishings typical of the late 1800s in South Texas, specifically in Frio County, and examples of life on the ranches, in the open country and in the early settlements. The building has been restored to look exactly as it did in its heyday as the center of Frio County's law enforcement, with upstairs jail cells preserved as they were last used. On January 7, 1884, the Frio County Commissioners' Court approved the construction of a new county jail. The county seat had been moved from Frio town to Pearsall after an election in 1883, when 227 voters favored the move to Pearsall and 81 voted to keep the county seat at Frio Town, several miles to the west.

The historic Frio Pioneer Jail Museum, located in downtown Pearsall, will be the focus of Pioneer Day, Saturday, March 23

There was a jail at Frio Town, but it was not a secure facility, and most of the potentially dangerous offenders had to be held in Medina County. The new jail at Pearsall was built by P.J. Pauley & Brothers of St. Louis, Missouri, for $11,000. The two-story facility measured 30 feet by 48 feet and included five jail cells. Two additional cells were later built outside of the main lock-up area at the top of the stairs for juvenile and women

prisoners. One of those new cells was used during the Prohibition era to store bootleg liquor that had been confiscated locally. The east end of the first floor was used as a residence for the sheriff and his family. When the sheriff did not have a trustee who could cook for his prisoners, the sheriff’s wife did the cooking. The jail had a well, and all of the water was hauled in to the jail in buckets. There were no sewer system or gas stoves, only wood burning stove until the city installed a public sewer system and natural gas. The building was lit with coal and oil lamps. The 1884 jail was in use until 1967, when a new jail was constructed. Frio County leased the old building to the county's Historical Society in 1971 and helped with repairs to the building for its conversion into a museum. With the exception of electricity, the building remains the same today as when it was built and was rededicated as the Pioneer Jail Museum on the nation's Bicentennial, July 4,

1976. The public is invited to attend the 16th annual Pioneer Day at the historic building to celebrate the men and women who braved the harsh and often life-threatening conditions of the South Texas Brush Country, to take part in cooking contests and enjoy the varied entertainment as well as the informative exhibits in the county's oldest and most fabled building.

with diabetes, as reported in the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, 2013. "This percentage may seem low, but it does not include those who have not been diagnosed," Thompson said. Diabetes is a common contributing cause of deaths in Texas, and the state death rate attributed to diabetes from 2003-2006 was 85.2 per 100,000 people. Frio County’s death rate was significantly higher than the state’s, according to the Texas Diabetes Council, 2012. The total national

medical cost of diabetes is $174 billion, as per a report by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention in 2011. The first in a new series of educational programs by the Frio TAB is focused on creating local awareness around diabetes, Thompson said, adding that the series will be co-developed between the Frio TAB and its partners, who expect that the awareness campaign will benefit the community as a whole and that it will serve as a catalyst for taking action against diabetes.

‘Weather Whys’ from Texas A&M University Department of Atmospheric Sciences...

What to do in a severe storm What's the best thing to do if you're caught in a severe storm? Some thunderstorm safety tips could save your life, says Brent McRoberts of Texas A&M University. “The National Weather Service estimates there are about 100,000 thunderstorms a year in the US, but only about ten percent of those are classified as severe," McRoberts says. "But the severe storms can cause amazing damage and even loss of life." A severe thunderstorm, he says, is one defined by winds of at least 58 miles per hour, hail at least three-fourths of an inch and the storm has produced a tornado. "If you're outdoors, find sturdy shelter, either in a building or a car – preferably not a convertible," he notes. "If you can hear thunder, that means you're close enough to be struck by lightning. Generally speaking, enclosed vehicles provide good shelter from lightning. If outdoors, you should avoid high places, open fields, isolated trees, picnic shelters, gazebos, baseball dugouts and anything metal such as flagpoles, light poles and fences. "If you cannot find a place of shelter and are caught out in an isolated area, squat down low so as to create the least surface area as possible," McRoberts adds. "This will reduce the risk of being struck. Water is a great conductor of electricity, so avoid water if at all possible." If you are indoors, you should unplug appliances because they conduct electricity, McRoberts adds. "You should avoid using the telephone – people have been struck by lightning while talking on the telephone," he says. "Also, it's a good idea to close the blinds or curtains because if a storm should break windows, the drawn curtains or shades will prevent the glass from shattering in your home. Stay away from water sources as well, as lightning can travel through a house.”

South Texas Rural Health Services, Inc. Mourns Loss of Valuable Employee

Mae Sambrano

Manuela Sambrano, best known as Mae to those that knew her closely, passed away last Thursday. She had worked for the South Texas Rural Health Services in almost all departments. Her diversity and expertise made Mae an invaluable employee. Mae really believed in helping people take care of their health. She constantly called people to remind them of missed appointments, preventive health screenings that were overdue, and simply to offer clinic services to people in the service area. Mae was the kind of person that went out of her way to help people register and qualify for the various services offered at the clinics in La Salle, Dimmit, Frio and Medina counties. She listened to patient preferences and often found herself providing transportation in our service area. Mae always greeted people with a sincere smile and made people feel comfortable immediately. Her caring attitude showed in everything she did. She shared her daily life by offering everyone whatever she had, and created an environment of teamwork and sharing. She was proud of her family and always shared stories about her husband, sons, daughters and grandchildren with a sparkle in her eyes. She was trustworthy and dependable. She was very respected by all her co-workers and administrators of the clinic. The medical staff got to know her well and have high regards for the way she enabled patients to have access to the system. She is missed by her co-workers in the offices and in the community by many patients she managed. South Texas Rural Health Services laments such a big loss. The Board, Administrators and Staff

Legislators host families of distracted-driver crash victims District 21 Senator Judith Zaffirini is being joined by State Representative Tom Craddick in promoting legislation that is designed to help reduce the number of fatalities on Texas roads as a result of distracted drivers. The legislators hosted a event at the State Capitol this month in which they met with families who have lost loved ones due to vehicle crashes that were likely caused by driver distraction. Sen. Zaffirini and Rep. Craddick are authors of House Bill 63 and Senate Bill 28, which strive to make texting while driving illegal in Texas. "It was my honor to host the families with Sen. Zaffirini as they visited their capitol and shared their tragic stories with lawmakers," Rep. Craddick said. "These families, like Johnny Mac and Jeanne Brown, who have lost a loved one, know all too well the dangers of texting while driving. If passed this session, HB 63 will provide a uniform statewide approach to curb this unsafe practice and will go a long way in helping educate drivers on the dangers posed by texting while driving and save lives." Senate Bill 28 and House Bill 63 are named in honor of Alex Brown. Wellman residents Jeanne and Johnny Mac Brown lost their daughter Alex in a single-car accident as she was driving to school during her senior year in high school. Alex lost her life to texting while driving, according to both Sen. Zaffirini and Rep. Craddick. Families met with their state representative and state senator before sharing their story at a legislative briefing. Those whose stories have been relayed to the legislators and who met with them in their promotion of new laws that will curb texting

while driving included the following: Becky Woodson, who lost her mother and daughter, Mindy Rasdale, 30, and Peggye Woodson, 82, of Savoy, Texas; Kristin Cooper, who lost her husband, Chris Cooper, 34, of College Station; Shelli Ralls-Brinkley, who lost her son, Chance Wilcox, 25, of Tomball; Patricia Small, who lost Meghan Small, 21, of Houston; Jennifer Smith, who lost her mother, Linda Doyle, 61, of Grapevine; Jennifer Jamison, who lost her husband, Javier Zamora, 40, of Roanoke; Jessica and Jamie Benyola, who lost their sister, Amberly Bossom, of Frisco; Lisa Chapa, who lost her sister, Anna Mendiola, 44, of Palmhurst; Josefina Ibarra, who lost her sister, Samantha Ibarra, 18, of San Marcos; John and Shannon Teague lost their son, Dustin Teague, 22, of Odessa; and Brenda Dunn, who lost her granddaughter, Kayleigh Dunn, 17, of Odessa. "The Texas Legislature has a responsibility to give our law enforcement officers the tools they need to make our roadways safer," Rep. Craddick said. "It is time for Texas to join the other 39 states and the District of Columbia to ban this dangerous behavior for all drivers. "I appreciate all of the interest groups who came out to offer their support for this effort," he added. "It is my hope that lawmakers can pass this bi-partisan supported legislation during the upcoming legislative session in order to make our roads safer." When the House adjourned, House Bill 63 enjoyed 13 new co-authors. Joining joint authors Rep. Craddick, Cook, Lucio, Harless and Menendez are new co-authors Clardy, Guerra, Howard, Ken King, Susan King, Rick Miller, Joe Moody, Diane Patrick, Charles Perry, Raney, Ralph Sheffield, Ed Thompson and Zerwas.

Letters to the Editor Words of a desperate man Dear Editor, It is understandable that you have to print what people pay for. Your “Editor’s Note” to my previous letter failed to note that my original letter several months ago was not “political” but was a question as to the involvement of Mr. Segovia in the Little League program. His “Sound and Fury” sounded more like the words of a desperate man who can’t focus on the real issues because they are not his own but rather others or he can’t take credit for the “Acts of Providence”. I have nothing to be ashamed of in my life and will not impugn innocent people. I work at the courthouse when called upon to translate for the district judges so they can remain in compliance with federal laws. Others were living in my property when that

“raid” occurred. I lived on West Colorado in my sister’s home taking care of her house. I was appointed to the Ethics Committee to review complaints filed and to make recommendations to the city council. Our committee does not pass judgement on anyone. I don’t take money from candidates and I don’t campaign for money. I buy my own clothes to attend court hearings when I’m needed. As my tio Ramon (QEPD) would say: “El pueblo merece la gente que elije,” (A community deserves the people they elect). Some elected officials forget those they are supposed to represent and only ply their wares for their own personal gain. Sincerely, Santiago Montemayor

House votes to supplement Medicaid funding

Senate confirms SBOE chair

State Board of Education Chair Barbara Cargill, a Republican from The Woodlands, on Feb. 21 was unanimously confirmed by the state Senate to her second consecutive two-year term as chair. Cargill was first appointed as chair of the 15-member board by Gov. Perry in 2011 and re-appointed to a full two-year term on Feb. 1. She represents SBOE Dist. 8, about 1.7 million people who reside in Brazos, Grimes, Houston, Montgomery, Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity and Walker counties. AG sides with bill authors

Attorney General Greg Abbott on Feb. 20 joined with Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, and Rep. Charles “Doc” Anderson, R-Waco, to express support for SB 674 and HB 1624, legislation requiring that a vote to unionize be by secret ballot rather than by a public vote, as is currently the method. Abbott said the legislation

Voter registration should be an online service in Texas

ou can do just about anything on the Internet these days — look at your street from space, pay your bills, trace your family history, or buy a car. But there's one thing you can't do online in Texas: register to vote. That's something I want to change. Senate Bill 315, one of the first bills I filed for the 83rd session, would add voter registration to the increasing number of government services and functions available online, making it more convenient for Texans to participate in the electoral process.

Currently 12 states offer online paperless voter registration, two others are in the process of implementing laws to do so, and legislation is pending in ten other states. I think it's time that Texas joined them. Arizona led the way with the first online voter registration program in 2002, and it has proved to be a success. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Arizona's secretary of state reports that more than 70 percent of all voter registrations are now performed online. In just the first two years that online registration was available, Arizona saw a 9.5 percent increase in the number of people signing up to vote. There is a cost benefit as well from eliminating the data entry process. According to a 2010 report, "Online Voter Registration: Case Studies in Arizona and Washington," each paper registration costs 83 cents, compared to 3 cents for registering online, which also increased the accuracy of voter rolls. Under my bill, eligible Texas voters could register online if they possess a

valid driver's license or identification card issued by the Department of Public Safety. For those who do not have such documents, a website would provide a convenient way to register that minimizes typographical and transcription errors by submitting the voter's information on a mail-in card. Support is growing for online registration in Texas, including those who actually do the work. The Texas Association of Election Administrators included the proposal on its legislative wish list. Participating in the electoral process is a fundamental right of every American, and government should do all it can to encourage citizens to take advantage of that right. Online voter registration would make voting easier and more convenient, boost voter rolls, encourage young adults to get involved in the political process, and lead to greater turnout on Election Day. Bringing the voter registration process into the 21st Century would be great for everyone.

reinforces Texas’ status as a right-to-work state. Seliger said, “This bill simply seeks to codify and protect” the freedom to cast a vote in private. Anderson said, “My concern is about protecting employees from intimidation.” Texas AFL-CIO President Becky Moeller, in a Feb. 20 news release said however, that federal law governs union elections and supersedes any state attempt to regulate union elections in the private sector. “We believe the only workers who could arguably be affected by this legislation are police officers and fire fighters who have collective bargaining agreements with their local governments under state law,” she said. Drought status continues

Gov. Perry on Feb. 21 extended for another 30 days the drought disaster proclamation that he initiated on July 5, 2011. The proclamation names 172 of Texas’ 254 counties, certifying that exceptional drought conditions pose a threat of imminent disaster in each of them. Pursuant to the proclamation, “all necessary measures, both public and private,” as authorized under state law, may be implemented to meet that threat.

current session. Last session, public education was cut by $5 billion, resulting in teacher layoffs and various reductions and curtailments. Of course, the Senate may amend the HB 10. Any differences in the House and Senate versions would have to be ironed out by a conference committee of members of both bodies and returned for final votes by the full House and full Senate.

El Pueblo Quiere Sabre/The Town Wants To Know The February 14th issue of the Current councilman James Houston Leal try to explain the trip to West Virginia. He says that four councilman traveled to West Virginia with representatives from AACOG (a government funding agency) and two private companies to meet with a company that repairs dirt roads. There are no dirt roads in the city of Pearsall that would need these repairs. Why would these four council members be concerned with repairing county roads? Does Roland Segovia think he is the next county judge? Is Roland Segovia aligning himself with future county projects at the city’s expense? The City of Pearsall has enough roads to repair. Councilman Leal’s explanation gives no reason for the city of Pearsall to pay for this trip. Councilman Leal explains why the city had to pay for the suits (clothes)? According to the interim city manager the city will be in the red for the month of April. Could this financial condition be the result of the unauthorized expenditure of this trip? Or the attorney fees for suit brought by Roland Segovia’s actions? Councilman Leal, it was brought to our attention that you received survey services from a surveying company that surveys city property at no expense to you. Is this true and can you explain? Roland Segovia’s political ad last week gives a clean picture of himself. He does not care about family, who he hurts or who gets hurt. You are Wrong Roland Segovia. Becky, God is with you and you will prevail. Roland Segovia your apology for offending the citizens of Pearsall is not accepted. The negative political attacks against you will still come because you have created them. You were elected because the people did not know who you were. Your accomplishments you speak about in your ads are lies. GEO did not come here because of you; you had nothing to do with GEO coming to Frio County. The new HEB is here because they needed to build a new store and you gave HEB a property tax abatement worth millions of dollars. Roland Segovia takes from the poor and gives to the rich. HEB does not need any help from poor Pearsall. You sold the Farm. Westview Apartments was coming to Pearsall with or without you Roland Segovia, stops grand standing. TMC and CSA are programs funded by the government and you have no say in that matter.

MOST IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE CITIZENS OF PEARSALL Through the efforts of Roland Segovia the City is building a new Police station at a cost of 1.3 million dollars on the Westside of IH 35 behind Security State Bank. This site was selected by Roland Segovia to satisfy Mike Wilson from Security State Bank and a handful of people who do not live in Pearsall. Council members against the location of this site are: Conrad Carrasco and Odilia Villarreal. I call on Abel Nieto, Alex Hernandez and Chris Valadez to reconsider a more appropriate location for the Police Station.

By Ed Sterling egislation proposing emergency supplemental appropriations to keep Medicaid funded for the rest of the year was approved by the Texas House on February 21. House Bill 10, authored by Reps. Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, and Helen Giddings, D-DeSoto, now moves to the state Senate for consideration. Medicaid serves the poor, the disabled, and older Texans. State funding to Medicaid, like education, transportation and other budget areas, was reduced by the Legislature in 2011 to address a projected budget shortfall. But a robust state economy over the past 18 months and brisk tax collections have improved the fiscal outlook. In response, HB 10 proposes to tap the state’s general revenue fund to the tune of $4.8 billion, $3.2 billion of which is designated for acute care services to be administered by the state Health and Human Services Commission,

and a little over $1 billion for long-term care services to be administered by the Department of Aging and Disability Services. Tied to these appropriations are some $6.6 billion in federal funds. CHIP, the state health insurance program that covers the children of needy parents, will get an infusion of $187.5 million if HB 10 becomes law. Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, has said, in effect, she plans to prevent health care legislation from picking up language that would result in the expansion of Medicaid. This is in line with Governor Rick Perry’s stated position on Medicaid. Perry has said he plans to reject legislation that would bring millions more Texans into the Medicaid program at a potential cost of billions of dollars to Texas taxpayers. But the fact that nearly six million Texas residents have no health care insurance, according to the 2010 US Census, points to the need for a safety net. Unanimous passage of HB 10 in the House was accomplished by Republicans and Democrats agreeing that in addition to the shift of funding into Medicaid, funding taken away from public education last session would be restored, to some degree, in legislation up for consideration later in the

talking about Faith A letter from Pastor Jose R. Abad How much longer do people need to suffer before finally coming to terms with their need of what is right, noble, correct, and holy? How much pain, anguish, and troubles can they endure personally, among their family members and friends yet not seek God and all goodness he brings and promises. What kind of humanity are we showing to be when preference to carnal indulgence, pride, and temporal pleasures are sought after even while knowing that there is a different way by which to enjoy lasting peace? God sent Jesus out of his love for humanity and his desire to rescue it from going through all of these kinds of evil and yet the vast majority continues gratifying their own need of selfish indulgence. Wives continue being beat, and abuse; children are being abandoned and bullied, many times by their own parents; marriages continue breaking because of their lost meaning of its vows; and the

precious and necessary incomes are spent on alcohol and other pleasures instead of on food, clothing, or shelter; and yet in spite of all this circumstances God is still not being sought but is actually disdained and rejected! How long before God’s love is seriously considered as the ultimate and only solution to our social ills?

By Veronica Stich Members of The Uvalde de las Encinas Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution met Saturday, February 16 at the Kettle Restaurant in Uvalde to hear details of family histories dating back to the nation's birth. The focus of the meeting was an educational gift of personal family histories accompanied by photographs and other significant items of value. Judy Burleson spoke of her ancestor, Thomas Calloway Sr., and his inspirational decision to join the American Revolutionary movement after reading a pamphlet authored by Samuel Adams. Thomas Calloway Sr. had participated in the French and Indian War with George Washington and was a hunting partner of Daniel Boone. His son, Thomas Calloway Jr., would later carry on the family’s patriotic commitment by joining the Revolutionary War after his father was honorably discharged. As the stories continued, Sharon Hubble spoke of her grandfather, Charles P. Spangler Sr., who served as county judge and also in the Texas House of Representatives. A veteran of both World Wars I and II, he spoke several languages and was helpful in orchestrating the famous Nuremberg Trials. As county judge, Spangler was influential in presenting the idea for Garner State Park in honor of Vice President John Nance Garner. Betty Lawrence also presented a history of her greatgrandfather, Amasa Gleason Clark, known as the first permanent resident of Bandera. A sculptured relief granite monument of his likeness stands before the Bandera courthouse. Clark served in the Mexican War under Winfred Scott and the monument was in fact transported from its original location at the National Cemetery at Fort Sam Houston to Bandera, where is stands today. To add to the program, member Karen Collins shared a piece of American Masonic history with the group. Collins brought in a Masonic edition of the King James Bible awarded to her husband, Floyd Collins, for fifty years of dedicated membership to his Lodge in Leakey. The elaborately bound book contained a detailed and colorful illustrated history of US presidents that served as Masons and touched on the beginnings of the country and the Revolutionary War. Each and every story told by members added to the unique historical pieces that make up the nation. Toward the end of the program, Chaplain Karasek read from a journal entry of an ancestor who took the time to write down her feelings on the day of President Lincoln’s inauguration. Present at the meeting were members from Uvalde, Pearsall, Camp Wood, Barksdale, Fort Clark, Round Rock, and Del Rio. Regent Betty Lawrence welcomed guests Nancy Baker, Wanna Lloyd and member Kathleen Higdon of Round Rock, daughter of Chaplain Karasek. Jakelynn Crawford read the President General’s message about the importance of celebrating Presidents George Washington

and Abraham Lincoln in February and reminded members to draw inspiration from the presidents' contributions to the nation. Historical preservation, patriotism and education in the local communities are an important part of the DAR mission, and individual contribution is crucial to the achievement of that goal, according to the organization. Karen Collins read the National Defender report, “It’s time to sing praises of our National Guard,” a first-place winning letter submitted by Lavonia Jone Lewis. The letter is a plea to recognize the National Guard with its own anthem for the efforts and sacrifices they make as first responders in times of disaster, floods, tornados, hurricanes and other threats to safety and security. The letter goes on to state that, “in today’s world, we can no longer call the

Regent Betty Lawrence and Phyllis Janes National Guard, ‘weekend warriors.’” Other important orders of business also included an oath of membership to Revis Leonard by Chaplain Karasek and the recognition of exemplary and faithful service by member Phyllis Janes. Charter member Janes was presented with a framed certificate by Regent Lawrence in honor of her service to the local NSDAR chapter since 1952. The chapter will meet again on the third Saturday of March. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible. Contact Betty Lawrence at (830) 278-6163 for information.

Dilley teens will attend NYLC in Washington Dilley High School students Katrina Martinez, James Rodriguez and Brittany Lopez have been chosen to attend the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, DC, and have begun raising funds for their travel expenses. The teens were nominated for the conference by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council to represent their school and community at the event that includes peers from across the US in an educational program focusing on leadership development. According to conference organizers, the NYLC “inspires high-achieving young people to realize their full potential.” The NYLC reports that it “brings together the future leaders of America, mentoring and enriching them in a hands-on, experiential atmosphere while preparing them for a lifetime of leadership.” “NYLC gives high-achieving high school students a greater understanding of their roles in democracy and the responsibilities of leadership,” the conference organizers noted in a prepared statement. “Imagine if you had been given an opportunity for a life-changing

experience such as this when you were in school and you were unable to attend because of lack of funds,” the Dilley High School students wrote in their report on attending the conference. “This is

why we are asking for the support of our community and friends. We look forward to attending the conference and representing our school and home town.” Together, the students must

raise almost $12,000, which includes conference tuition of $2,824 each, plus airfare and meals at $679 and $437, respectively. Donors and supporters may

Lady Mavs even softball record at 5-5 By Manuel Azocar III Sports Editor

In action at the largely Class 5A San Antonio Harlandale softball tournament, Pearsall dropped games to San Antonio Stevens and Dilley but bounced back to top Kennedy in action last week. Pearsall was able to hang with the Falcons for most of three and a half innings until Stevens plated eight runs on nine walks and three hits to put the game away. Stefanie Gonzales took the loss on the mound despite a tough effort. “She fought hard but

came up short at the end,” PHS Softball Coach Rob Glasscock said. “She continues to improve as she learns how to pitch at the high school level against tough big-school talent.” The Lady Mavs continued to improve in a narrow 8-6 loss to Dilley. “Jessie Viesca, Yendi Camacho and Scharlie Martinez led the offensive attack with two hits apiece,” Glasscock said. “The Lady Mavs defense played tough for three innings but made a few errors and that was the difference in the game.” Gonzales took another loss, pitching four solid

innings in the outing. “She continually improves from every start and is learning how to pitch in big game situations,” the coach said. Pearsall returned to action on Saturday and notched a 10-2 win over San Antonio Kennedy. “We got a strong pitching performance from Amy Garza and a blistering hitting attack to soundly defeat John F. Kennedy High School,” Coach Glasscock said. Garza went four innings allowing only three hits and a pair of walks in picking up her first win of the season.

Abigail Byrd, Camacho, Martinez and Sabrina Martinez paced the offensive attack. “We were patient at the plate and this payed off in forcing the JFK pitching staff to walk eight Lady Mav hitters,” the coach said. “It was a great team win and allowed the Lady Mavs to even their season record at 5-5. “They are improving every game and are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the softball world.” Pearsall hosted D'Hanis on Tuesday night and will be in action at the Blanco tournament this weekend.

Dilley opens 2013 track and field season Dilley scored 18 points and placed fourth overall in season-opening action at the Maverick Relays in Pearsall on Thursday, February 21. With a short-handed unit, still managed to collect four first place medals. James Rodriguez won the triple jump with a leap of 39'2-1/2” and also took first in the 400m dash with a time of 53.74. Will Urban won the 100m dash with a time of 11.62 and also took the 300m hurdles title with a time of 42.90. Urban also claimed silver with a second place finish in the triple jump while Nathaniel Gonzales was second in

the pole vault.

EAGLE FORD SHALE RIG COUNT Eagle Ford Shale Rig Count drops eight rigs The Eagle Ford Shale drilling rig count increased three to 247 running this past week. La Salle County still leads and has held the top position for all but two weeks since October of 2012. Chesapeake announced earnings this week and it looks like the company is changing course a bit now that Aubrey McClendon is on his way out. The company is dropping more rigs than previously disclosed. Chesapeake exited 2012 with more than 20 rigs running and is running 18 as of this week. That number will fall throughout the year as plans call for an average of 16 rigs running in 2013. That is six rigs fewer than the company announced it planned to run during the year back in August of 2012. Read more in the article Chesapeake’s Eagle Ford Activity Soaring – Rig Count Declining. The natural gas rig count fell further to

27 units running this past week. That’s an Eagle Ford record low. Natural gas prices traded up during the week to $3.28/mmbtu on Friday afternoon. The oil rig count increased seven to 219 running in the area. WTI crude futures traded down on the week to a little more than $93 per barrel to end the week. Eagle Ford crude prices traded at $102.37/bbl on the 22nd of February. Eagle Ford light crude and condensate in the area traded at $89.75 and $88.75, respectively. There are 212 horizontal rigs running in the region. An injection well is being drilled in Karnes County. La Salle County leads development with 36 rigs running. Karnes (26), DeWitt (25), Dimmit (24), McMullen (24), Gonzales (23), Webb (23), Live Oak (16), Atascosa (12), Leon (7), Lavaca (6), and Wilson (6) round out the top counties in the region.

Chesapeake EFS production soaring, rig count declining Rig count will fall to less than 50% of peak of 34

Chesapeake’s Eagle Ford production grew 266% in 2012 to 143,200 gross operated (62,500 net) boe/d in the fourth quarter, according to a company press release. Production is expected to continue growing, but the company will be lowering its rig count even further. The company is operating 17 rigs currently and plans to average just 16 in 2013. That’s down sharply from the peak of 34 and the exit rate of 22 in 2012. Spud to spud rig times have improved significantly, 18 days at year-end 2012, but not enough to offset the rig declines. That’s doesn’t mean fewer wells will come online this year: Chesapeake plans to drill fewer Eagle Ford wells in 2013 than in 2012; however, the planned number of wells turned-tosales will be roughly equal in both years. It was just August of 2012, when CHK Planned for 22 Rigs in 2013. The latest step down is likely the reflection of more conservative development plans that will be implemented by new management. Most of what the company considers “core” or ” tier 1″ acreage will be held by

production at year-end 2013. CHK Eagle Ford Highlights From The Fourth Quarter During the fourth quarter of 2012, Chesapeake achieved the following: *Production averaged 143,200 gross (62,500 net) boe/d *Completed 98 wells (down from 124 in Q3) *92% of wells produced more than 500 boe/d *28% of wells produced more than 1,000 boe/d Wells noted in the company’s press release included: *Hahn Dew 1H, in DeWitt County, TX, produced 1,985 boe/d, which included 550 bbls of oil, 360 bbls of NGL and 6.4 mmcf of natural gas per day *Flat Creek Unit A Dim 2H, in Dimmit County, TX, produced approximately 1,470 boe/d, which included 1,210 bbls of oil, 160 bbls of NGL and 0.6 mmcf of natural gas per day *The JJ Henry IX M 1H, in McMullen County, TX, produced 1,275 boe/d, which included 1,160 bbls of oil, 55 bbls of NGL and 0.4 mmcf of natural gas per day.

Cabot Oil & Gas focused on EFS well design

EFS downspacing results are positive, Pearsall lateral being evaluated. Cabot Oil & Gas exited 2012 with more confidence in the Eagle Ford at 400 ft well spacing and more knowledge about the Pearsall Shale. Cabot Focused On Eagle Ford Well Design Cabot is still working to develop the optimal well design in the Eagle Ford, but has driven down drilling times to an average of 13 days (9.5 day record). Average well costs are falling with increases in drilling and completion design. It’s still early in the life of Cabot’s Eagle Ford properties, but 400 ft spacing will likely double recoverable reserves in the Buckhorn Area that straddles Frio, La

Salle, Atascosa, and McMullen counties. As of November 2012, Cabot shared the following Eagle Ford stats: *Drilled 39 wells *Completed 38 *Average IP was 653 boe/d (24-hr) and 460 boe/d (30-day) *Average lateral length of 5,039 *Average EUR expected to be 400,000 boe (380-550 mboe range) Cabot Is Testing Best Well Placement in the Pearsall Much of the same can be said about the Pearsall. It’s early, but results seem positive. Cabot has 5 producing well, 4 waiting on completion, and 3 drilling related to its JV with Osaka.

CROP N WEATHER

Much wheat unlikely to make crop, agronomist says Despite recent rains that greened up much of the wheat crop, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agronomist is expecting a below-normal crop this year. “There were lots of troubles with stand establishment and drought through the fall and winter,” said Dr. Travis Miller, AgriLife Extension agronomist and Texas A&M University soil and crop sciences associate department head. “Stands are skimpy and weak.” There are parts of the state where wheat does look good, Miller said, but big parts of the Rolling Plains and the western/northern parts of the High Plains may not make a crop. North and east of Dallas, it’s a different story, he said. “From the Metroplex north and east, it looks like a pretty darn good crop,” he said. “There was some segregation, by which I mean, part of the stand coming up in November and part coming up in January. But overall, that’s the best looking wheat in the state, northern Blacklands,

northeast part of the state.” For other areas, the future of wheat depends upon the future of rains. The projections are for above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation for the spring, with chances for either above- or below-average summer precipitation a coin flip, Miller said. “For the temperatures, it’s not a coin flip, and higher temperatures mean there will be need for above-average precipitation because of higher evapotranspiration rates,” he said. In the South Plains, there was a “substantial acreage” of wheat planted because of the high grain prices, said Dr. Calvin Trostle, AgriLife Extension agronomist in Lubbock. There’s also a lot of acres planted with wheat purely for a cover crop to prevent wind erosion, and despite light planting rates, there are some producers who have decided to try for grain harvest, according to Trostle. “I looked at one of those fields that a farmer wanted to take for grain and wondered

whether to increase irrigation and top dress (with nitrogen),” Trostle said. “He had a good wheat variety, the planting date was decent in mid-November, it had already tillered a little bit, and I said, ‘yes, I don’t think your yield potential is down that much.’ “That gives you a picture of how much folks would like to take a wheat crop to grain,” Trostle said. There are a lot of other considerations that have to be made, such as available irrigation water, and, of course, future rains, Trostle said. But a lot of wheat is his area is “just hanging on,” and needs a good rain. “You can have wheat that doesn’t look very good, but we can pick up a rain in March and then again in April and be very surprised of how productive it can be,” Trostle said. According to the US Drought Monitor, about 75 percent of the state remained under severe to extreme drought. More information on the current Texas drought and

Much winter wheat was planted for grazing, but with high prices, farmers would like to take a grain crop, according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agronomists. (Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service photo by Robert Burns)

wildfire alerts can be found on the AgriLife Extension Agricultural Drought Task Force website at http:// agrilife.tamu.edu/drought/. AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the following summaries: SOUTHWEST: Dry conditions persisted. Livestock producers continued to provide supplemental feed to cattle. Farmers were preparing fields for spring planting. COASTAL BEND: Eastern counties had rain and warmer temperatures. The rain halted planting in some eastern counties. The western part of the region continued to experience drought conditions, and very few farmers were fertilizing fields as there was scant stored soil moisture to sustain a crop. Livestock producers in most areas continued to provide supplemental feed to cattle, hay or protein or both. Where pastures were limited, the culling of herds continued. Washington County ryegrass and oat pastures showed some growth. Volunteer ryegrass sprouted in many areas as a result of recent rainfall and warmer weather. In Colorado County, winter wheat had emerged but not yet set seed. In DeWitt County, corn

planting began. Soil moisture was adequate there, but more rain was needed. San Patricio County livestock were in relatively good condition despite short forages. The soil moisture profile in most of the county was still very dry. In Wharton County, topsoil moisture levels were rated fair. Farmers were fertilizing corn fields, with planting expected to begin soon. SOUTH: Very dry and windy weather continued, with warmer than usual daytime temperatures. Nights were on the cool side. Soil-moisture levels were mostly short to very short throughout the eastern, western and southern counties. In the northern part of the region, recent rains helped green up rangeland and pastures. Most of the southern part of the

region did not receive any significant rain. In Frio County, potatoes emerged, and wheat and oats were in fair condition. In Jim Wells County, ample moisture helped row crops a little, but more rain was needed to really promote establishment. Maverick County wheat was doing well under irrigation. In Zavala County, very dry conditions have stressed dryland wheat and oats. Producers with irrigation were watering winter vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, onions and carrots. Also in that area, the harvesting of processed and fresh-market spinach was very active, while some cabbage fields were not quite ready for harvesting. In Hidalgo County, farmers were busy planting corn and grain sorghum, and were almost finished planting sunflowers.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT BY LaSALLE COUNTY TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS INCLUDING PROVISIONS FOR THE REGULATION OF CERTAIN SUBDIVISIONS OF LAND, MANUFACTURED HOME RENTAL COMMUNITIES, AND THE ADOPTION OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODE STANDARDS IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF LaSALLE COUNTY Notice is hereby given, as required by §2007.042 of the Texas Government Code, regarding the intention of LaSalle County, Texas, acting by and through its Commissioners Court, to conduct a public hearing on the 8th day of April, 2013 at 5:00 p.m., County Commissioners Courtroom, LaSalle County Courthouse, to receive public comment on proposed regulations pertaining to comprehensive development regulations designed to promote the health, safety, morals, or general welfare of LaSalle County and the safe, orderly, and healthful development of the unincorporated area of LaSalle County.

Additionally, a Takings Impact Assessment (TIA) of the proposed regulations is also available for inspection in the office of the County Judge during normal business hours. The TIA, using the analysis outlined by the Texas Attorney General, has determined that the proposed regulations do not constitute an unconstitutional taking of real property, as defined by §2007 of the Texas Government Code, but are reasonably designed to provide the County and the residents of LaSalle County with the ability to reasonably assure that development within the County is conducted in a manner that will promote the safe, orderly and healthful development of the unincorporated areas of LaSalle County, Texas, and which will prevent substandard residential or commercial development, inferior infrastructure, or unsafe or unhealthful disposal of wastewater and/or storm water. Copies of the TIA may be obtained in the office of the County Judge, or the County Clerk, at a cost of $2.60

This is the property over which a receiver is requested, whether it turns out to be Tract 1106, Survey 31.5, or Tract 1106, Survey 31 (and this is in addition to this receivership also covering Lot 1106 in Block 47 as set forth above). and to execute Mineral Leases thereof to the Plaintiff and a pooling, unitization or production sharing agreement covering said land, and take such other action deemed necessary under the provisions of said statute.
