FCISD approves
new transfer
policy
By Kaine Korzekwa
A new transfer policy was
approved by the Falls City
ISD board at its June 16
meeting.
“Transfers will only be accepted at the beginning of a
semester,” Superintendent
Linda Bettin said. “Transfers will not be accepted
if the student-teacher ratio is close to our regulation of 22:1 in kindergarten
through 4th grade.”
She noted this is a new
policy, and state law requires a cap on maximum
class size.
The policy was approved
unanimously.
Also of importance at the
meeting, the designated
fund balance was increased
from $300,000 to $500,000.
“The board designated
more money for future improvements to the school,”
she said, adding the increase will not affect salaries or other district projects. “This money is just a
savings for future needs that
the board would like to earmark more specifically in
the future.”
Another financial related
item regarded the price of
school lunches. It was decided school lunches will be
25 cents more next year.
The board is also getting
the paper work finished to
start an education foundation.

officers bring a suspect into
custody.
“They are really on,” DuBose said. “If they have something that gives them a solid
scent – they will go.”
Officers arrested McKee on
the warrant charges, charges related to evading arrest as
well as charges related to recent local burglaries.
“When he was arrested, we
did find items that lead us to
believe that he was involved
in several local burglaries,”
DuBose said. “There have
been more than one. There
have been several that we feel
that he was involved with directly and indirectly.”
McKee was booked into the
Business of the Year
Karnes County Jail but then
moved to the DeWitt County Jail.
DuBose said that based on
information obtained following his arrest, they were able
to arrest and file charges on
four adults and three juveniles related to recent local
burglaries.
Police believe the individuals have been working
as groups burglarizing local
homes and businesses.
“While this is hopefully going to clear some burglaries, we are still asking people
to be aware,” DuBose said.
“Keep what you can locked
and be safe with you and your
neighbors. We have identi-
fied several other people that
we believe to be involved with
the burglaries. We are still following every lead we get that
references those people.”
Police are urging residents
to document and photograph
their property and if possible,
install an alarm. Even a simple, inexpensive, loud alarm
can be a strong deterrent and
help prevent the loss of property as the result of a burglary.
Anyone with information
about recent burglaries is
strongly urged to contact the
Kenedy Police Department at
583-2225 or the Karnes County Sheriff’s Office at 780-3931.

to put her books down, she
loved it!!” she laughs.
Schultz also comments on
how technology has changed
in the classroom dramatically
since when she first began
teaching.
“Technology made it so
much easier. There used
to not be any televisions or
videos like we have now. We
had to show film strips on a
projector we carried to our
room and the movie was
on those big reels.” Along
with television, another
technological improvement
was the addition of
computers to the classrooms.
Teachers today often use
programs like Accelerated
Reader, as well as educational
games, to help students
learn in an interesting
environment.
Another aspect of change
can be seen in the state
mandated tests, which
weren’t seen when Schulz
first began teaching.
“It was so much simpler,”
she says, “There’s so much
pressure on children these
days. They learn to read so
much earlier and so much is
expected of them at such a
young age.”
Schulz said that while she
hadn’t done TAKS testing in
a while, she and the other
elementary teachers felt as if
they were already starting to
prepare the children for the
mandated tests to come.
“Our reading tests, for
example, have started
becoming TAKS formatted
so the kids can get used
to the style of the tests. I
didn’t teach the test, but I
helped teach the test taking
strategies, like how to locate
answers in the passage, the
bubble format, and things
like that.”
Even though TAKS doesn’t
start until students are in
the third grade, Schulz said
that the lower elementary
teachers still have stresses
of their own. The ITBS
Achievement Test and the
TPRI Reading Inventory put
pressure on teachers like

particular who would walk to
her classroom every morning
to give her a hug, and also
former students who would
wait after school to give her a
hug as well.
“It just made me feel
worthwhile, like maybe I’ve
made a difference in their
lives. Even one girl in junior
high made a special trip to
come to see me the on the
last day of school. Things like
that I guess just make me feel
appreciated and worthwhile.”
These memories, along
with many others, are what
Schulz likes to look back on
as she enjoys her retirement.
Although she says she still
loves teaching, Schulz just
felt the time was right and
wanted to have more time to
spend with her family.
As for retirement, Schulz
says she loves it! There’s
always something for her
to do, and she has her
family, gardening, pets, and
books to keep herself busy.
Even though she retired,
Schulz hasn’t quit teaching
altogether.
“I keep my fingers in it
a little bit,” she says, “As a
matter of fact I’m tutoring
reading and math right now.
I do it here at home, and so
far it’s just one little boy a
couple of times a week, but
I’m hoping to maybe expand
that.”
Schulz hopes that the
students she has taught will
still remember her as they get
older and take with them the
desire to always do the best
they can.
“I’ve tried to teach them
you don’t have to make a
100; as long as they did the
best job they could do I was
happy with them.”
Over the years, Schulz
said she has learned the
most important aspects
in teaching are structure,
routine, and relationships
with students.
“If those children know you
love them unconditionally
they will do anything for you,
and they’ll try their hardest
to succeed, and that is what’s
truly important.”
Schulz to have these young
children prepared at such a
young age.
With all the new
technology and testing
going on in classrooms,
it’s hard to keep students
focused and interested in the
topics. Schulz said she tried
to make learning fun and
motivating for the students.
Hands-on activities and
social interactions were just
some of the ways Schulz got
creative with her teaching.
She often found that
creative chants and rhymes
allowed the class to have
fun participating while still
learning at the same time.
Humor, though, was by far
the best method Schulz said
she used.
“The kids really enjoy
humor,” she says. “I had
this big doll that looked like
a person and I named her
Penelope. She helped our
class learn and was funny
most of the time. Sometimes
she would want to sit by a
cute boy or something like
that, and the kids just loved
her!”
Schulz says that teaching
has always been her passion.
Perhaps the favorite parts
of her career have been her
students’ success stories.
“I like it when I have a
problem and at the end
of the year it became a
success. I had a student
who came to my room
this year and was just way
behind on everything, hated
school, didn’t have many
friends, and was a bully…
that sort of thing. Through
encouragement and trust we
built a relationship. Soon the
student just turned around
and started working hard,
learned to read well, grades
went up, and even became
popular. It’s just kind of a
success story.”
Even though she’s had a
lot of success stories, Schulz
says the thing that was most
memorable was how many
of her former students came
to give her hugs during and
after school every day.
She remembers one girl in

Kenedy Middle School students collect
$1,750.07 for Heiffer International
As school comes to an end
excitement is in the air. Students are recognized for
their academic and athletic
achievements. At each grade
level they anxiously look forward to moving to the next
grade level. The band host
spring concerts, banquets are
held, new cheerleaders are
selected, and all reflect on the
memories made during the
school year.
As Kenedy Middle School
closes out 2009 - 2010 a special memory has been made.
The sixth grade world geography students along with
the support of school staff,
fellow students, and parents
collected $1750.07 for Heifer International. The goal of
Heifer International is to end
world hunger. This is the largest donation made by KMS in
the past four years. The students will be able to purchase
a $1500.00 package known as
JOY TO THE WORLD. This
package consist of two sheep,
four goats, one heifer, and
two llamas. Also, with the extra $250.00 a water buffalo
will be purchased. Because
the animals are expecting,
twenty families somewhere
in the world will be given an
animal and a gift of hope for a
better life.
Sixth grade students were
recognized at the awards ceremony for their extra efforts
and outstanding achievements in raising money. Travis Vickery raised the most
money, $154, worked the
most hours, 24 hours, and
had the most sponsors- 5. He

Badger Comeback needs your help
The Badger Comeback
Committee needs the help of
anyone in these classes who
are willing to make up a list of
all the gradates with correct
addresses, so that we may get
them into our computer and
you can receive invitations
to the Comeback. All KCHS
graduates are invited to the
comeback if you get an invitation/reservation letter or
not. The Comeback Committee needs the help of all parents of these graduates in the
above referenced classes to
contact their children to help
get a list together for the committee. It takes a lot of our
time to keep up with classes we have in the computer, since the list covers from
1919 thru 1989, and some of
the 1980’s classes are not all
complete. When a graduate
moves and does not inform
the Committee, they will not
receive an invitation to the
Badger Comeback, because
the letter was returned (address unknown, can no longer forward, moved, etc.). So
a lot of postage is wasted because we are unable to have

Opinion
Letter to the Editor
Candidate wants to hear from you
Editor:
Karnes County voters,
I would like to offer all concerned citizens
my number they can call if they would like
to talk to me about what I stand for and to
voice their opinion. This number won’t be
changed, even if I am elected. Often past candidates promised open and honest government, but once the campaigning stopped,
that was the last you heard from them. Most
commissioners elected in the past have even
had their numbers removed from the phone
book. That disconnect between the public
and their representatives stops with me. You
can call me with gripes, concerns, or just to
talk about where you think would be a good
idea for your tax money to be spent. I would
like to hear your opinion, so let your voice be
heard. Thanks for all your support.
Daniel Burris
Karnes County Commissioner
Candidate Pct. 4

Willis
Webb
Living in a river house — 11 feet off the
ground on concrete and steel pier and
beam — is occasionally adventuresome
and, therefore, never dull.
It is akin to living in a tree house, especially with trees on all sides, including one
up through the middle of the back deck.
The net effect of “treehouse living” is that
you get a close look at your neighbors, birds
of all kinds, and I do mean the feathered variety.
My Life Mate is particularly attuned to
birdlife and has a couple of books, gifts from
her late mother who became quite knowledgeable about the avian ways. Sighting unusual and/or uncommon birds prompts a
quick reference to the books and identification of the bird or birds in question.
Naturally, there are bird feeders in appropriate places in front of the house and a bag
of bird seed in the pantry, as well as a bottle of red hummingbird food in the fridge
for the little darters’ feeder hanging off the
back deck.
Late last winter, when Central Texas was
“gifted” with about four inches of snow on
the ground, Life Mate managed batches of
photos of about 40 robins making an early spring appearance and frolicking in the
snow.
All back windows and the back deck look
out onto the river where there is no shortage of interesting species — white egrets,
blue herons, occasional wood ducks and
mallards and once, just once, a doublecrested cormorant. The cormorant appeared in the early spring and the book
shows that it must have been a migration
pattern.
For spectacular color, however, nothing
beats a painted bunting — bright red breast,
brilliant blue head, yellow back and green
wings. One off your front deck, partaking of
your hanging feeder full of seed, is a beautiful sight.
Life Mate has shown me there are black
birds that actually have some color to them,
in addition to basic black, that is, sort of like
a formal tux with a multi-colored bow tie.
Some birds can be a bit scary, for instance
a great horned owl. One sat on the gate to
the yard, a mere 40 or so feet from the front
door. It was, we assumed, hunting the field
mice that frequent the storage shed under
the house. Opening the front door and stepping out onto the deck that night sent him
flapping away empty-taloned.
Then there are — please excuse me, birdlovers — the pesky birds. With a river house
— standing on the aforementioned piers
and beams — the space underneath serves
a multitude of purposes. There is the storage shed plus a space covered with pavers
that holds a redwood picnic table and two
bench swings. And, it’s our garage. That’s
where the pesky ones enter the scene.
In a space where my pick-up truck is
parked, some barn swallows have for three
seasons now built their combination mud
and grass nest in a spot above the truck cab.
The net result is globs of mud splattered all
over the top of the cab plus the driver’s door
and window.
This year, I caught them early in the process and knocked down the partial nest.
Back they came and I raked the mud and
grass off again. Then I put one of those fake
owls up on the hood and kept a watchful
eye, running at the reappearing swallows
with arms waving and emitting a guttural
“oooaaahhh” at the little monsters.
They moved to the front deck and got a
nest partially built before I discovered it. I
tore it down.
Then, we took a trip. Upon returning,
there was a completed nest in the old spot
above the truck and the vehicle seemed to
have more than the usual mud on it. Plus,
the fake owl had some swallow droppings
on its head.
I grabbed a rake to knock the nest down,
but Life Mate ornithologist said, “Check
it for eggs first.” I did and there were eggs.
“Leave the nest,” declared the resident avian lover.

The Inner You
Joe
Brubaker
Folks I came across a poem I wrote for students I had in the 70s. So sit up straight in
your chairs and pay attention as I repeat it for
you.
The Inner You
It matters not so much, I say
What happens to you along life’s way,
But how you react; what you do;
Just what takes place inside of you.
How will react when misfortune calls,
Or even when disaster calls?
What is the measure you will use
When someone brings distressing news?
Or, if that news is truly fine
How will this affect your mind?
What builds you up, or tears you down?
By what prejudice are you bound?
It’s not the outer things that matter
The screaming headlines, the worldly chatter.
It’s what’s inside of you that counts,
When pleasure comes or trouble mounts.
For worldly things are all veneer
They don’t bring sadness, they don’t bring cheer.
But deep within your heart and soul
Lies all you need to reach your goal.
So fill your mind with the highest things
And see the happiness this will bring.
For what’s inside you will come out,
The deeds you do will leave no doubt.
For within one’s self happiness lies
Not in those far distant skies.
So strive to improve your heart, your mind,
And you will then improve mankind.

Little Dreams
Pamela
Baker
I was listening to my iPod yesterday and
one of the songs started out with this line –
When I was young I knew everything…
I think we all go through a (hopefully)
short phase in our young lives where we believe that we are invincible and know everything we need to know.
Of course, life experiences come along
and quickly teach us that we are not invincible and that there is a wealth of stuff we
don’t know.
When I was ten I had serious thoughts
about becoming an astronaut. I told this to
a mean spirited relative and he quickly informed me that I was much too fat to be
an astronaut. It may have been absolutely true, and still is, but it’s always difficult to
hear that you can’t do something you want
to do when you are ten years old.
The irony is that as a grown up, I would
absolutely hate being an astronaut. I’m terrified of heights.
Other minor dreams I had included being a dancer, a doctor, a writer. I slowly realized in each case that I didn’t have what it
took. I learned early on that I wasn’t graceful or thin enough or coordinated enough
to be a dancer. In college I figured out that
I was not driven enough to get into medi-
cal school.
So, the one childhood dream I have a
chance at still accomplishing is to become
a writer. I have kind family members who
are always encouraging me to write a novel. I try to explain to them that writing a 500
word column is absolutely nothing compared to writing a 250,000 word novel with
multiple characters, plots and subplots. I
feel like I can’t do it.
That is probably what is the most striking difference between my 32-year-old self
and my 10-year-old self. At ten, I thought
I could be anything I wanted to be. Now I
think I can’t.
But it’s a lie. Of course there are physical and mental limitations. There are
things that I just cannot do. But most of
the things I thought about doing as a child
were attainable if I had wanted them badly
enough. It would have required more sacrifice than I was willing to take to get there,
however.
Every once and awhile I feel a tinge of
“what-if” and I wonder what I could have
done if I had not given up on those little
dreams I had as a child.
But my life is good. I get to write a little. I
can dance in my living room. I can look up
all kinds of medical information in books
and the Internet. I can watch Nova and
learn about the universe. I get to have children and a marriage and time to read and
watch movies.
But I do have this great idea for a novel, all
about the interesting characters I have met
here in Karnes County. One day…

Eating Up
By Amelia Simmons
brilliant color.
Well, we’re off! Will you keep ahead of the
tomato crop this summer, or will you be reduced to putting them outside your front
gate in a box, so that passers by can help
themselves? Or just tear up the plants by
the roots and pretend they died?
Seriously, can you ever have too many
tomatoes? Americans once thought so. A
popular myth circulated that we believed
them to be poisonous, but there were other reasons why they were not eaten. Many
colonists had emigrated to America before tomatoes became popular in Britain
and Ireland and the isolation of the country meant that Americans remained unfamiliar with the fruit. It wasn’t until the mid
19th century that refugees and settlers entered America through cities, bringing
with them a liking for tomatoes. Even then,
northerners grew them as curiosities or ornaments for many years.
We plant basil next to our tomatoes. The
aniseed scented herb marries perfectly in
sauces, ketchup, salads and on pizzas. My
biggest success this year has been tomato and basil jam. I’ve always been scared
of preserving; past efforts have either not
jelled or set up so hard the spoon bent
when you tried to scoop a spoonful. This
recipe isn’t mine. (Like I say, I’m a novice)
but from a great paperback called Gourmet
Preserves by Madelaine Bullwinkel. The
time consuming part is skinning the tomatoes. It is important to add the basil strips
as the jam cools, so that they retain their

3 pounds ripe tomatoes
2 lemons
24 fresh basil leaves, divided
1 cup sugar
Drop the tomatoes into simmering water for 30
seconds then plunge them into an iced water bath.
When cool enough to handle, peel, core, quarter and seed. The best way I have found is to press
the tomatoes through a sieve to retain the juices.
Coarsely chop the tomatoes. You will have about 4
cups of tomatoes.
Place the tomatoes in a deep non reactive 4-quart
pan. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and simmer for 30 minutes until the jam is reduced to 2 ½
cups and excess moisture has evaporated.
Meanwhile, zest the 2 lemons. Squeeze the juice.
Puree half the basil with half the lemon.
Off the heat, stir the zest and juice without the basil into the tomatoes. Return to a simmer and add
the sugar, a half at a time. Allow the mixture to return to the boil each time. Cook and stir frequently
for 10 minutes, until the jam thickens. Thermometer reading 210 degrees.
Off heat, stir in the remaining basil-lemon juice.
Cool a tablespoon of the jam and taste to adjust
the balance of sweet and sour. Add more lemon juice if you need. Cut the remaining basil into
strips and fold them into the jam.
Fill hot sterilized jars, cover and invert or process
in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, according
to your preferred method.

First Presbyterian Church news
Contributed By: Kathy Chapman
Father’s Day
“Family and Community”
was the title of Pastor Chuck
Gibbs’ sermon last Sunday
morning at First Presbyterian
Church of Karnes City.
He posed questions to the
congregation:
•
What are your priorities concerning family and
community?
•
What do you consider family?
•
What do you consider community?
Many people have large biological families who they
hardly know and with whom
they rarely communicate. Yet
they are thought of as “family.” On the other hand, many
people have friends they
know well and intimately,
whom they see daily, who live
next door, or they work with
or study with or worship with.
There is no biological relationship, yet the connection
is precious and loving. They
are thought of as “family,” too.
Could it be that the family
and community that should
be most precious to us is
what our Bible calls the children of God, or the Family of
God here on earth? Should
our spiritual family be our
primary family, not our biological family? The Presbyterian Church (USA) addresses family and community in
its Book of Order. In its statement of the Church’s mission,
the Book of Order states (at
Chapter III. a.):
The mission of the Church
is given form by God’s activity
in the world as told in the Bible and understood by faith.
A. God created the heavens
and the earth and made human beings in God’s image,
charging them to care for all
that lives; God made men and
women to live in community, responding to their Creator with grateful obedience.
Even when the human race
broke community with its
Maker and with one another,
God did not forsake it, but out
of grace chose one family for
the sake of all, to be pilgrims
of promise, God’s own Israel.
People from all over Karnes
County and other parts of
Texas gather at the First Presbyterian Church of Karnes
City on Sunday morning. Everyone is welcome. Adult
Sunday School Class begins
at 10 am with worship service at 11 am. The church is
located at 405 E. Mayfield in
Karnes City.

the man to go and tell others
what God had done for him.

St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church news
Contributed By: Pat Hemby
The Fourth week of Pentecost was celebrated at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church of
Kenedy with Reverend John
Padgett as pastor. Neil Nichols was the Lay Minister and
Joseph Avalos was the Lector.
The First Lesson was 1
Kings 19:1-4, 8-15. This was
an account of Elijah speaking
with God about his concern
for his safety. All the prophets
were being slain so he fled being afraid for his life. The Israelites had forsaken God’s
covenant and he felt he was
all alone. But God told him to
return and anoint Hazael as
king over Aram.
The Second Lesson was
Galatians 3:23-29. Paul told
the Galatians that the law
had been their disciplinarian for life, but now Christ
had come and by his grace
one could receive salvation.
To Christ there was no difference among the people. “For
in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.”
There was no need any longer for a disciplinarian, for
believing in and loving Christ
would make you heirs according to his promise.
Reverend Padgett read the
Gospel according to Luke 8:
26-39. Jesus and his disciples
arrived in Gerasenes where
they met a man possessed by
demons. He said his name
was Legion because he possessed so many. Christ cast
out the demons and entered
them into a group of swine.
The swine then rushed over
a steep bank into a lake and
drowned. The people who
witnessed this or heard about
it were very afraid and told Jesus to leave. The man wanted to go with Jesus, but Jesus
told him to stay and be a witness for him and tell everyone
what God had done for him.
Reverend Padgett’s sermon
was about how we receive salvation. It was a major subject in those days whether
one received salvation by law
or by faith. Paul had been a
Pharisee before he converted to Christianity. In those
days one must obey the religious laws in order to be accepted by God. Now that Jesus had come and given a
new covenant, it was no lon-
FATHER
One email article I received
last week contained the following… “I still say my dad
was the best at getting rid of
those monsters that used to
get under my bed at 3 in the
morning, when I was only four years old. He attended his share of little league
games, band concerts, and
even did the driving for his
boys when they had a “date”
before they had a driver license.
Dad was and always will
be my hero. His life of dedication to God, and his years
of serving as an elder in the
church, testify to the quality of his character and are the
evidence of his priorities. I am
63 years old now, and
I still catch myself thinking
that someday, I want to grow
up and be just like my dad.”
This article, written by my
own dad about his dad was
very touching to me. My family also beamed with pride
this Father’s Day as my father-in-law, Dale Irby was ordained as an Elder of the Kerrville Church of Christ.
The Hebrew writer proclaims, “…every house is
built by someone, but God
is the builder of everything.”
(Heb. 3:4) Drawing on a lesson by Steve Sheppard we
looked Sunday at building a
better father.
A better father would be
a more patient father. Paul
wrote, “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient,
bearing with one another
in love.” (Ephesians 4:2). As
parents, fathers in particular,
we need to try to look at life
through the eyes of our children. Understanding them
will help us be more patient.
(See I Thess. 5:14)
II Thessalonians 3:8 reads:
“For you yourselves know
how you ought to follow our
example.
Our kids will often mirror
the way they see us living. If
we could build a better father
it would need to be a more
godly father. As Paul wrote to
the church at Corinth; “Follow my example, as I follow
the example of Christ.” (I Corinthians 11:1)
To be better fathers, to be
better leaders in the family,
the church and the world, we
must strive to carefully follow
in the footsteps of Christ.
Harmon Killebrew of the
Minnesota Twins said, “My
father used to play with my
brother and me in the yard.
Mother would come out and
say, ‘You’re tearing up the
grass.’ Dad would reply, ‘We’re
not raising grass, we’re raising
boys.’”
Thank You God for fathers.
And please help those of who
are fathers to be more like
you! - AMEN

“Casting Out Demons”
Finding and casting out the
evils of sins which have challenged man has been the goal
of God from the beginning as
the Gospel of Luke narrates
in the country of Gerasenes
when Jesus performs another
miracle to the chagrin of the
disciples was the focus of the
homily of the Rev. David W.
Collins III, pastor of St. Paul’s
Lutheran Church, on the 4th
Sunday after Pentecost.
Jesus let his mission direct
himself and the disciples to
foreign soil to carry out the
power and promise of God.
He focuses his attention on
a man besieged by demons,
who is chained and shackled
for his and the community’s
protection in the tombs. Even
the demons did not wish to
be sent back to the abyss, so
Jesus sent them into a swine
herd. The swine rushed over
a bank to drown themselves,
thus killing the demons.
Collins indicated the text
comes alive with questions
as to their application in our
lives. Evils besiege people
with problems in today’s society. Fear in the dealing with
evils perplexes us just as the
disciples feared for Jesus and
themselves. But Jesus did
and will, through God, guide
and direct us to solve the current battles and turmoil in
our lives. The message derives is for the congregation
to work together to overcome
obstacles and share the love
of Christ within ourselves and
throughout the community.
The Holy Scriptures, read
by Randy Witte, were taken
from Isaiah, Psalm 22, Galatians, and the Gospel of Luke
8:26-39. With reference to Father’s Day and appreciation
to the paternal guidance from
not only our earthly father
but also the heavenly source,
all the men were given red
carnation boutonnieres.
Visitors for the service with
Dotty and Buck Meyers were
Candy and Rusty Andrisek
from Floresville.
Prayers were made to give
directions to those who are
lost, lessen confusion for
those with mental problems,
and provide comfort and
well-being to those weekly are named in lists of ill,
whether in nursing facilities
or home bound, especially Werner Ahrens. Prayers of
guidance go to those in the
military service whose role is
casting out the demons from
alien forces in places like Afghanistan.
Vacation Bible School/ Day

is “STUFF!!!” by June Beard,
blessed old lady.
Scripture: “For where your
treasure is, there you heart
will be also.” Matthew 6:21.
The older I get, the more
I wonder “why do we need
stuff?” I live in a small cottage with little room for stuff
I don’t really need. Much of
what I had, has been tossed.
Even the green bed my husband and I slept in is gone
in favor of a twin bed. That’s
downsizing!!
It seems our culture has encouraged us to need more, a
bigger house, extra cars, more
clothes, the list goes on and
on. STUFF!!

infant daughter of Stephen
Craig Cantwell and Kimmi
Jesus said in Matthew 6 Mauch Cantwell of Pflugerthat we shouldn’t worry about ville, was born and passed
these things. Do any of us away on Sunday, June 13,
have enough faith to see if He
was right? We need to love
each other and life here and
now. Jesus also said that the
Kingdom of God is here in
this world.
Thought: We should be
more thankful and less needful.
Prayer: Dear God, help me
remember the stuff is just
stuff and what is really important is the treasures You place
in our hearts, in Jesus name.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND
INTENT TO OBTAIN WATER QUALITY PERMIT RENEWAL
PERMIT NO. WQ0003913000
APPLICATION. City of Kenedy, 303 West Main Street, Kenedy, Texas 78119, which operates a
reverse osmosis potable water treatment unit, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) to renew Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No.
WQ0003913000 (EPA I.D. No. TX0117650) to authorize the discharge of treated wastewater at a
volume not to exceed a daily average flow of 900,000 gallons per day. The water treatment plant is
located at 602 Cottonwood, approximately 1.6 miles southeast of the intersection of U.S. Highway 181
and State Highway 72 in the City of Kenedy, Karnes County, Texas 78119. The discharge route is
from the plant site through a pipe to the Abandoned Arm of Escondido Creek; thence to Escondido
Creek; thence to the Lower San Antonio River. TCEQ received this application on February 26, 2010.
The permit application is available for viewing and copying at Kenedy City Hall, 303 West Main
Street, Kenedy, Texas.
ADDITIONAL NOTICE.
TCEQ’s Executive Director has determined the application is
administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. After technical
review of the application is complete, the Executive Director may prepare a draft permit and will issue
a preliminary decision on the application. Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will
be published and mailed to those who are on the county-wide mailing list and to those who are
on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the deadline for submitting
public comments.
PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a
public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to
submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the
Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or
if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.
OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting
public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to
all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred
for a contested case hearing, the response to comments, and the Executive Director’s decision on
the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons
who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also
provide instructions for requesting reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision and for
requesting a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil
trial in state district court.
TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant's
name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative
to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the
facility in a way not common to the general public; and, the statement "[I/we] request a
contested case hearing." If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or
association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future
correspondence; identify an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by
the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected
member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member
would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the
group’s purpose.
Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will
forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the
TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.
The Commission will only grant a contested case hearing on disputed issues of fact that are relevant
and material to the Commission’s decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only
grant a hearing on issues that were raised in timely filed comments that were not subsequently
withdrawn. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater
without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met.
MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a
reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this
specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In
addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name
and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the
permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ
Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
AGENCY CONTACTS AND INFORMATION. All written public comments and requests must
be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX
78711-3087 or electronically at www.tceq.state.tx.us/about/comments.html. If you need more

both are former Kenedy athletes.
Coach Rudy Diaz began the
softball and baseball camps of
the recreation program. Both
of these camps are ongoing
during the summer and meet
on Fridays and Saturdays.
Coach Diaz is a former Kenedy Lion who is so dedicated
his sport that he has a batting
cage behind his house where
he offers private lessons. Also working with Coach Diaz is another Kenedy alumni,
Larry Kiesling, Jr. Coach Kiesling is working with the older baseball players teaching
skills he learned while playing professional baseball.
This week participants will
meet at Coach Diaz’s batting
cage at 808 South 9th Street
in Kenedy. The girls will meet
Friday June 25 at 9:00 am, and
the boys will meet at 4:00 pm.
Saturday, practice will be at
Lion Field: the girls at 9:00 am
and the boys at 4:00.
Coach Manual DeLaGarza
is coaching track for the summer program. Also a former
Kenedy athlete, Coach DeLaGarza meets with track participants Monday, Tuesday,
and Thursday at 6:00 at the
Kenedy High School Track.
Arts and Crafts camp will
begin June 28 at Kenedy’s Municipal Building. It will begin
at 9:00 am and last until noon.
Other camps that will be held
include volleyball and boys
basketball.
The Kenedy Summer Recreation Program is sponsored
by the City of Kenedy and the
4B Corporation. The program provides an excellent
opportunity for young Kenedy students to learn and improve skills and teamwork.
Almost all of the instructors
and helpers are former Lions
and Leopards who are committed to Kenedy ISD and the
athletic program. It is free
and open to Kenedy students
12 to 14 years of age. For more
information, call the Kenedy
City Hall at 583-2230 or Program Director, Larry Kiesling
at 583-2342.
