More than 70 tilt-wall panels have been set. The Goodman Cypress Creek Campus will house a world-class, stateof-the-art air conditioning engineering, manufacturing, testing, administrative and logistics center. It is utilizing tiltwall construction in which the concrete walls are poured on site and “tilted-up” into position, allowing improved efficiency and avoiding having to transport the large panels over public roads.

Most importantly, the Goodman team designed the plant from the ground up to encourage collaboration and teamwork. Conference rooms and huddle spaces abound, and innovative 2-story “pods” in the manufacturing and distribution areas will offer convenient break rooms for coffee, lunch, and quick meetings. “When completed, we will have a plant where active discussion, innovation, and problem-solving are the norm,” Takeshi Ebisu, Goodman President & CEO, said recently. “Our goal is to build the best air conditioners in the best way with our best work force.” Goodman is a division of Daikin Industries, Ltd., of Japan, the world’s By Carrie Prazak-Gourley The Waller Times On Wednesday, June 23, the Waller County Commissioners Court met at 9 a.m. at the Waller County Courthouse. Commissioners John Amsler, Justin Beckendorff, Jeron Barnett, and Russell Klecka were present and Waller County Judge Trey Duhon presided. After approval of consent agenda items, a presentation by the WCCC of the Distinguished Service Award was presented to the Waller County Historical Commission on behalf of the Texas Historical Commission for their active and effective historical preservation in Waller County in 2014. In further business, an agenda item proposed by Pct. 4 Commissioner Justin Beckendorff, the posting of current landfill ordinance maps on the county website, was discussed at length. All commissioners agreed that for the purposes of transparency, the maps should be posted. However, the item was tabled until maps can be authenticated and the court can be assured that any maps posted on the county website are correct. Heated debate occurred in regards to another agenda item put forward by Beckendorff. Beckendorff had asked the court to instruct legal counsel to move forward immediately with a new solid waste proposal, and Pct. 3 Commissioner 936-372-2673 July 3rd 6 pm - Dusk Worship Night with John Mark McMillan & 89.3 KSBJ July 4th 3 pm - Dusk Featuring a Veterans’ Recognition Ceremony & TX Special be our friend on www.facebook.com The Waller Times On Monday, June 22, at 6 p.m., Waller County Election Administrator Dan Teed, along with Democratic Party Chair Ben Tibbs, and Republican Party Chair Wallace Koenning, hosted the first in a series of three public meetings on the possibility of implementing county-wide voting in Waller County. County Judge Trey Duhon, Commissioner Pct. 2 Russell Klecka, and Commissioner Pct. 1 John Amsler also attended the meeting, forming a quorum of the Commissioners Court. Teed stated that the purpose of the public meeting was to provide additional information and to solicit comments from the public on the proposed change. A county-wide polling place, commonly called a Vote Center, on Election Day is one where any registered voter of Waller County may vote just as in early voting.

Our aquifer and our drinking water are at stake. It is not time to quibble.” In another contentious agenda item, Commissioner Beckendorff proposed setting spending limits on outside legal counsel, and was supported in this position by Commissioner Barnet. In response, Judge Duhon stated that the county had passed resolutions concerning the high speed rail, the transmission lines, and Pintail LLC, supporting the positions of the citizens on these issues. Legal counsel, according to Duhon, was chosen by the court and the firm Fritz, Byrne, Head and Fitzpatrick, PLLC gave an estimate of their fees before they were hired. “Cost of legal counsel is by nature uncertain, “ Judge Duhon stated. He added that the court has worked to limit attorney’s fees by initiating teleconferences and by leaving the hiring of experts to other entities involved in the Contested See COURT page 4A Elections Head Holds First Public Meeting on County-wide Voting Waller High School Stadium 20735 Stokes Rd.

More than 70 tilt-wall concrete panels have been set, according to Communications Manager Graham Painter. Submitted photo. Jeron Barnett lent his support to Beckendorff’s request. The currently active 2011 ordinance states than any area within a two mile radius of any privately-owned solid waste disposal site holding a valid permit as of August 26, 2011, is eligible for solid waste development, but no other sites will be permitted or will be authorized by the county after that date. Commissioners Beckendorff and Barnett stated their concern that this might open the county for a landfill in the Monaville area, or other areas that have quick access to transportation via I-10. However, after heated debate between commissioners and a further consultation with attorney JD Head of Fritz, Bryne, Head & Fitzpatrick during Executive Session via a telephone conference call, the court emerged from Executive Session and voted 3-2 (Commissioner Beckendorff and Barnett supported the motion) against any action to move forward with a new solid waste ordinance at this time. Duhon stated, “Due to the upcoming Contested Case Hearing with the SOAH, to which Waller County is a full participant on the side of the citizens, attorneys for the county have recommended keeping the 2011 ordinance in place at this time.” Duhon then added, “I defer to our attorney’s judgment.

Voters would then be able to vote according to their schedule and lifestyle. Although the county now has 19 polling places, that number may be reduced if Voting Centers are approved by the county. All selected polling centers must have internet access, adequate parking, and be handicapped accessible. The state requires that a county maintain 65% of locations during the first election, and 50% thereafter. If the county’s application is approved, a committee of citizens, with the approval of the Commissioners Court, will determine the polling locations within the county. Teed believes Vote Centers will reduce voter fraud, since all poll workers in the county would have immediate access to voter registration records via the internet, allowing them to know instantly whether an individual has already cast their ballot. County-wide voting began in 2003, with a pilot program in Larimer County, Colorado. In 2006, the 78th Texas Legislature authorized a pilot program in Lubbock County. By 2011, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and Utah have all approved the use of Vote Centers. Twenty-six Texas counties now participate in the program.

From June 26 – July 7, DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent. “As Texans make their plans for the Fourth of July, DPS is urging everyone to enjoy the holiday responsibly,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “Driving while impaired can have deadly consequences, so Texans who grant, which allowed increased patrols in highrisk locations during times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent. During the same period, DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 15,000 speeding citations and more than 2,500 seat belt/child safety seat citations. According to TxDOT, in 2014 more than 1,000 people in Texas were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving a driver who was under the influence of alcohol, accounting for 29 percent of the year’s total traffic fatalities.

Our friends up North make fun of Texas weather. Even people in California, home of random mudslides and earthquakes, make fun of Texas weather. However, Mother Nature was particularly moody on Saturday, and no one was making fun. I was heading to Waller from Houston around 8:00 in the evening. Up ahead, I could see lots of gray smoke blowing across the highway, just west of the Grand Parkway overpasses. As wet as it’s been, I couldn’t imagine what could possibly be burning. Then I drove into the “smoke,” and it wasn’t smoke at all. It was rain – heavy, blinding rain – the kind that even windshield wipers on full couldn’t handle. Suddenly – and thankfully - everyone slowed to a crawl and tried to stay in their own lane – wherever that might be. Scary, believe me! But here’s the interesting part. Going into this mini-storm, my temperature gauge read 90 degrees. Within four-tenths of a mile – just seconds – the temperature dropped 10 degrees. Plummeted is a better word. After another two-tenths of a mile, the temperature dropped to 77 degrees. Then just as suddenly as I encountered the rain, I drove out and continued my very dry journey on into Waller. By the time I reached my house, a scant ten miles from “point of impact,” the temperature was back up to 88 degrees. Now THAT, my friends, constitutes very strange Texas weather! A friend and I were discussing this and she shared her own tale of Texas weather from Thursday night. She lives off FM 2978 just east of Tomball. They got five inches of rain Thursday night between 8:0010:00, including a lightning strike that exploded a huge tree between her house and her neighbor’s. She proclaimed that to be just a bit more excitement than she wanted. She said all she does now in her spare time is pick up limbs that rain and wind have knocked out of the trees. From the reports coming out of the Waller County Sheriff’s department, the northern part of the county nearly went under water again. Almost a dozen roads and/or intersections along FM 1488, Joseph, Riley, FM 362 North, and others in that general area were either impassable or had enough water on them to make driving on them dangerous. No one is brave or courageous when they drive through high water on roads. It’s a short slogan, but important: TURN AROUND! DON’T DROWN! I do feel bad for the folks building that massive Goodman air conditioner plant just east of town. That property could more accurately be described as a 500-acre lake right now, what with all of the unprecedented rain we’ve had. In fact, I was talking to one of the men from the company last week, and he confirmed that’s exactly what it looks like from the air. Nevertheless, they aren’t letting a “little” rain stop them. They just move some dirt around to “contour” the land and force the water into the ditches along Hwy 290, and they work on the part of the land that is drier than the rest. I’m still in awe of that building they are constructing on the side of the property nearest FM 2920. It didn’t look so big while the steel was going up, but then they started putting up the walls, and oh, my! My friend from Goodman tells me that just that one building is one million square feet. That’s 1,000,000 – six zeroes! To break that down into numbers that you and I might understand – although maybe not fully comprehend: that’s room for 400 houses of 2,500 square feet each – the size of a good-size subdivision. Wow. One more weather item: as of Monday, the Houston area hasn’t had a 100-degree day since September 3, 2013 – that’s 658 days (and yes, I’ve probably jinxed it!). The weather people aren’t predicting one this week, either, which bodes well for the Waller Freedom Fest Friday and Saturday. There’s no rain predicted, either, and that’s a good thing. Can’t have fireworks in the rain! Come out to the Waller High School stadium north of town on Friday around 6:00 p.m. Fireworks will follow a musical program at around 9:00. On Saturday, festivities will start at 3:00, with rides and games (helicopter rides, anyone?), a petting zoo, food, drink, more food, crafts … and did I mention food? Fireworks again at around 9:00. Bring some canned goods for See ARNOLD page 5A 240 Years Ago, Americans Fired the Shot Heard Round the World By Carrie Prazak-Gourley By 1775, tensions had been brewing between the British crown and their American colonies for several years. Starting in 1763, King George III began the disputes by issuing a proclamation prohibiting settlements beyond the Appalachian Mountains where many American colonists had already settled. Some clashes occurred between the British and American setters, as the British stopped colonists as they headed west and forcibly removed others from their homesteads. Adding insult to injury, in 1765, Parliament passed the Quartering Act, asserting that colonists must find or pay for lodging of British soldiers stationed in America. Parliament furthered the angst of the Americans by passing a string of tax acts, including the infamous Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts-which required a tax on all imported goods. Colonists complained vehemently to both the King and to Parliament that their rights as British citizens were violated by these acts, since Americans had no representation in Parliament and therefore no voice in laws passed concerning the American colonies. Envoys were sent to the king to request representation, but all their pleas fell on deaf ears. Hence, in response to the British crown ignoring their requests for representation, in 1774 the first Continental Congress was formed. Relationships between the British and the American colonists continued to Grab your expedition gear and prepare for Journey Off The Map! deteriorate, leading to a watershed event in world history. At 5 a.m. on April 19, 1775, 700 British troops set out to capture Patriot leaders and seize Patriot arsenals at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts Colony. The British troops, under Major John Pitcairn, upon entering Lexington, found 77 American minutemen under Captain John Parker waiting for them on the town’s green. Smith ordered the minutemen to disperse, when a shot was fired, and a brief battle occurred. Afterwards, eight Americans lay dead and 10 others wounded. The British then continued into Concord to seize arsenals, not realizing that, thanks to a rather elaborate colonial intelligence network led by the Sons of Liberty, the Patriots had been made aware--particularly by the late night ride of Paul Revere and others-- that their supplies were at risk, and had successfully relocated the majority of their arms and ammunition before the British arrived. The British then proceeded to burn what little they found. Viewing the conflagration from their lookout, the American militia left their hilltop retreat, and hustled to Concord’s North Bridge. Believing that the Redcoats were simply trying to intimidate them, they had no intention of opening fire. That illusion was shattered when a volley was loosed from the British side. Afterwards, the Redcoats fell back, but then one of the colonists returned volley, initiating a fire fight. This first shot fired by an unknown militiaman became the famous “shot heard round the world.” The American Revolution had begun. The battles of Lexington and Concord were the first battles of the American Revolution, a conflict that would escalate from a colonial uprising to a world war, that seven years later would give birth to the independent United States of America. A little over 60 years after the battle, Ralph Waldo Emerson, a highly renowned American poet, immortalized the “shot heard round the world” in his poem, “The Concord Hymn”. The poem was written at the request of the Battle Monument Committee of Concord, and was read at Concord’s Independence Day celebration in 1837.

WE STAND UNITED Rib-Eye Dinner/Auction/Live Music Saturday, July 25, 2015 The Declaration stated in part, “Resolved, that these United Colonies are and of right ought to be, free and independent states, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown…” What an astounding statement by our fledgling nation! No country in the world at that time lacked a monarch or absolute ruler. The idea of governing oneself was a novel concept, untried at the time. Our Founding Fathers, signers of the Declaration of Independence laid it all on the line for their new country, pledging, “..with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” And that fight for our freedom all began at Lexington and Concord, an event immortalized in Emerson’s famous poem, which honors all those who gave their lives so that our nation may live free.

It sheds light on what might be a mundane event of a battle, the firing of the first shot against the British in the American Revolution, turning it into a symbolic event of “right over might”. That first shot has long been acknowledged as an important steppingstone on the march to freedom, not only for Americans, but for all nations of the world. At Concord, a group of ordinary citizen farmers, stood up to what was then the most powerful nation on earth, and dared to challenge their right to rule the colonies by fiat. These brave Americans dared to thwart the status quo, and challenged the so-called “divine right” of kings to rule arbitrarily over their citizens. A little over a year later, on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted by the Continental Congress, which announced to the world that the 13 American colonies, already at war with Great Britain, regarded themselves as free and independent.

Commissioner Amsler was “amazed” at the objection to attorney fees expressed by Commissioners Beckendorff and Barnett.” “Allison, Bass”, Amsler stated, “hired by the prior commissioners court to fight the citizens, cost this county and arm and a leg, yet no objection was ever voiced by anyone but me.” (Authors note: Barnett was on the court at that time, but Beckendorff was not.) Duhon added, “Every opportunity is provided in Executive Session to discuss bills in detail. How much is it worth to save our drinking water? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Will we say we will spend twenty thousand and not a penny more? I think most of us would agree that defending our county’s drinking water is well worth the price.” Finally, after a heated debate, there was a motion made to table the item to set spending limits on outside legal counsel. The motion passed 3-2, with Beckendorff and Barnett voting no. According to the County Auditor, Alan Younts, approximately $35,000 is available in the budget for attorney’s fees and some contingency funds, already allocated in the budget, would also be available if needed. Also, the court approved submission of the application to the Federal Justice Assistance Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2015, for $1.8 million. The grant, if approved, will award the county funds for two constables per precinct, as well as their vehicles and salary packages for three years. The new officers will be slated to work with Royal and Waller ISD to reduce truancy.

Most citizens attending the hearing expressed approval of the proposed plan. Those against it were mainly concerned about the reduction of polling locations. Commissioner Amsler addressed the attendees on his concerns stating, “Will the people be satisfied? We have a long history of contention surrounding voting in Waller County. I’m afraid it could be problematic.” Commissioner Klecka added his concern on the increased cost for those running for office due to the need to place signage at all polling locations if Waller County moves to Vote Centers. Judge Duhon, however, spoke positively of the change, saying, “I think it would be easier for citizens to vote anywhere in the county. I’m all in favor of advancing technology.” Teed emphasized that if Waller County is approved for county-wide polls for the November General Election, it is only a trial, and further participation will depend on the satisfaction of Waller County voters.

The foe long since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror silent sleeps; And Time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream which seaward creeps. On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set today a votive stone; That memory may their deed redeem, When, like our sires, our sons are gone. Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare. The shaft we raise to them and thee. The students of Waller Junior High School took a minute to celebrate their accomplishments and the beautiful weather before the end of school at field day on the turf at the Auxiliary Stadium.
