Arlan’s
Market
By Carrie Prazak-Gourley
The Waller Times
On Tuesday, February 9, the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) informed Green Group
Holdings (GGH), the City of Hempstead, and Citizens
Against the Landfill (CALH) by phone that they would
not accept the “grandfathering” argument made by GGH
in regards to their prior Transfer Station Registration,
which they claimed exempted them from compliance
with local government ordinances, which currently prohibit a landfill at the proposed site in Hempstead. The
TCEQ stated they would not accept a new application
from GGH on the Hwy. 6 site on the “grandfathering”
premise.
Now, GGH will have to be in compliance with local
ordinances. A 2013 ordinance which allowed the Hwy.
6 and Hwy. 290 landfill site was voided in the settlement agreement, made after a Waller County jury sided
with the City of Hempstead and the Citizens Against the
Landfill in Hempstead, and shortly thereafter, the 2011
ordinance, prohibiting a landfill on that site, was reinstated.
Good news for opponents of the landfill, which began last January with the outcome of the trial, continued
last October when the TCEQ returned the permit application of Pintail Landfill, LLC, citing several reasons
for the site’s unacceptability. Pintail determined not to
appeal their decision, so the original permit application
is dead.
However, Pintail was not finished yet with Waller
County, and with dismay, opponents of the landfill
learned that Pintail notified the TCEQ in January of
their desire to submit another application for a permit on
the same site, under the provisions of the Texas Health
and Safety Code under Chapters 363 and 364. Pintail
claimed that their Transfer Station permit was “grandfathered” by provisions of that code for the entire 410.37
acre site, not just for the 1.16 acre transfer station.
So when TCEQ called the City of Hempstead and
CALH last Tuesday, informing them of their decision
to oppose Pintail’s request, the opponents of the landfill
breathed a great sigh of relief.
In Commissioners Court on Wednesday, February
10, Commissioner Pct. 1, John Amsler, stated, “For all
intents and purposes, the landfill is dead. Victory belongs
to the citizens of the City of Hempstead, and indeed to

Little Eden Children’s Home matron to speak at annual fundraiser
10th Annual Fundraiser set for March 5
In celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the Little Eden
Children’s Home in Kenya, Africa, Mike Eden Ministries is excited
to announce that Matron Anne Ndumbe of Little Eden will be making her first trip to America to be the special guest speaker at the
annual fundraiser, scheduled for Saturday, March 5, 2016, at the
Hempstead Knights of Columbus Hall, starting at 5:30 p.m.
“We believe that you will be touched by the story of the lives
of the 67 children that she cares for as a substitute mother and also
the story of her life as a Kenyan woman,” stated Sylvia Eden, wife
of Mike Eden, founder of Mike Eden Ministries and visionary of
the orphanage.
“High in the beautiful mountainous region above Nairobi,
Kenya sit two imposing, red tile roofed rock buildings, built by
the loving hands of Kenyan villagers and American missionaries,”
Eden described. “These large and spacious buildings are the homes
to 35 boys and 32 girls.”
These Kenyan children are orphan’s, under the care of Mike
and Sylvia Eden, of Mike Eden Ministries of Waller County, Texas.
Their wellbeing, health, schooling, clothing, food and other essential necessities are funded completely from loving donors, sponsors
and fund raising events.
“Future self-sufficiency is the key to the success of this ministry,” Eden stated. “Food supplies are raised on site in the “shamba”/ Sylvia Eden (back row, far left) stands with the girls at Little Eden Children’s Home in Kenya,

Waller County citizens voice their opposition to high speed rail
Citizens, WallCo Sub-Regional Planning Commission meets with TxDOT
The Waller Times
On Tuesday, February 9, at 1:30 p.m., the Waller
County Sub-Regional Planning Commission conducted
their first Coordination Meeting with the Texas Department
of Transportation (TxDOT) concerning the Texas Central
Railway’s proposed High Speed Rail project between Dallas and Houston, which is now slated to cut through Northeast Waller County. The meeting took place on the Prairie
View A&M Campus at the Don Clark Criminal Justice
Building.
The Waller County Sub-Regional Planning Commis-
sion was formed in 2008 under Chapter 391 of the Texas
Local Government Code, for the purpose of planning the
future development of the community, including the planning of transportation systems within Waller County’s jurisdiction. Groups formed under Chapter 391 provide for the
protection of rural communities through acquiring coordination with governmental entities, and a seat at the table as
an equal partner in matters affecting quality of life.
Over 165 concerned residents were in attendance at
this first coordination meeting, including Pine Island Mayor
Debra Ferris; Council member Marie Herndon of Prairie
View; City of Waller Mayor Danny Marburger; City of
Hempstead Mayor Michael Wolfe; T.J. Johnson, President
of Waller County Advocacy Group; and Waller ISD’s Superintendent of Administration, Kevin Moran.
Several presentations highlighted areas where the high
speed rail could negatively impact Waller County. A presentation given by John Isom, Waller Economic Development,
detailed the negative impact the HSR would have on our
area’s economic development. Other presenters included
Gary Ferguson, Waller-Harris ESD #200; Danny Twardowski, Waller ISD Superintendent; Johnson; Don Garrett,

In wake of Sandra Bland death
The Waller Times
At a meeting of the Waller County
Commissioner’s Court on Wednesday,
February 10, Commissioners listened
to a presentation given by State Senator
Rodney Ellis, and Jim Bethke, Executive
Director of the Indigent Defense Commission, on ways to reform local criminal
justice through the county’s indigent defense system.
Senator Ellis stated that money is
available through grants from the state
to reform local criminal justice systems,
and many Texas counties have already
accessed these grants. Some counties,
according to Ellis, have already initiated
reforms, and Bexar County, which sur-
rounds the San Antonio area, has been the
first successful participant in reforming
their county’s indigent defense system.
Some suggestions made by Ellis for
reform included: 1) reducing unnecessary
pretrial incarceration and to determine
flight risk through a pre-trial screening
program, and 2) acquiring early counsel
at the magistrate hearing, so that mentally
ill can advocate for treatment, and that
those facing criminal charges can have
continuity with representation throughout
the process.
Commissioner Pct. 3, Jeron Barnett,
in the wake of Sandra Bland’s death in the
Waller County Jail, initiated the request

Waller Wonders – Texas-size highway … of course!
By Nancy Arnold
he latest segment
of the Grand
Parkway (Hwy
99)
between
Hwy 290 and
I-45 opened last week. The highway folks got all the barriers down
sometime after dark Friday night
… and in true Texas fashion, even
though the road wasn’t officially
open, drivers immediately zoomed
onto the new road. Travel was free
for the first week, so that was okay,
I suppose.
I got a call the next day from
a friend who has never been on
ANY segment of 99, yet somehow
had managed to make his maiden
voyage on the roadway at around
midnight shortly after the barriers
were removed. And what a tale he
told!
He and his wife had been at
a function up on I-45 and had left
for their home near the Galleria a
little after 11 p.m. He thought he
T
was heading south on 45 when he
realized that he was on an unfamiliar road … and there were no other
cars to be seen. He saw precious
few road signs, and no freeway
lights, either.
Finally he saw an exit for
Telge Road, and recognizing the
name, he exited and headed south
to access Hwy 290. He hadn’t been
on that road for a while, either, and
had no idea that he was heading
into a war zone of road construction, closed ramps, and uneven
pavement.
I know it was unkind of me,
but by the time he got to the end
of his harrowing (to him and his
wife!) tale, I was laughing so hard
I couldn’t breathe. Unlike us regular people, he lives in a civilized
neighborhood (neighbors include
George and Barb – Bush, that
is – and Ed Emmett (aka Harris

well-maintained. He will probably

Parts of Hwy 99 … a.k.a. The
Grand Parkway … have been open
for a while. I use the section between 290 and Hwy 59 going south
a couple of times a month, and it
saves a huge amount of time, especially since Hwy 290 all the way to
610 resembles the aftermath of an
earthquake. I have such sympathy
for folks who have to use that road
every day, ‘cause there’s really no
alternate route.
When this 99 monster is fin-
ished, a trip all the way around will
be 180 miles – three hours on a
good day! Almost half of it – 72
miles – is open now. In all, five
of the planned 11 segments are
complete. All but one of those segments has been funded, so work
will click right along.
This is the third loop around
Houston. The next one – if there
is one – will be right at Waller’s
doorstep! It’s only 11 miles from
my driveway to the entrance of 99
now. The first loop was the 610
loop. Next was the Sam Houston
Tollway (Beltway 8). And now we
have 99, which traverses seven
counties: Galveston; Brazoria;
Fort Bend; Harris; Montgomery;
Liberty, and Chambers counties.
The Grand Parkway concept
hatched in the early ‘80s, and the
Grand Parkway Association was
authorized in 1984. The Association is a non-profit State Transportation Corporation, and you can
keep up with project news at www.
grandpky.com
We could build eleven NRG
Stadiums with the concrete – 1.8
million cubic yards – poured, and
the 110 million pounds of steel
used could build two battleships
the size of the USS Texas.
Just how big IS this thing?
What can we compare it against?
Back in November, the Houston
Chronicle ran a series of maps
overlaying the Grand Parkway
on about 20 recognizable areas
around the world. Here are a few
comparisons for your amusement:
• Dallas/Ft. Worth – covers
the DFW metroplex, up to Frisco,
Allen, and Plano; south to Cleburne and Waxahachie, and east to
Garland
• Austin – from Round Rock
almost to Georgetown; to Wimberley, San Marcos, and Bastrop;
to Lockhart and almost to Marble
Falls
• Rhode Island – most of the
state
• Northern Ireland – most of
the region
• London – the city and much
of the surrounding countryside
• Ditto for Rome
• Washington, D.C. area – includes Alexandria, Virginia; Gaithersburg and Annapolis, Maryland;
and the entire Baltimore metropolitan area
• Chicago – up to Skokie,
down to Joliet, west to Aurora, and
further
• San Francisco – west well
out into the ocean, east across the
bay and south to San Jose
• Jamaica and Fiji – most of
each island.
Bottom line – this thing is big.
Traffic moves along pretty good
… for now. As I recall, traffic on
Beltway 8 was efficient in the early days, too. Now? Not so much.
I didn’t even mention that massive stretch of parking lot called
the Katy Freeway. No matter how
much land they condemned, no
matter how many businesses they
killed, no matter how much concrete they poured to build it, traffic
just barely oozes along. It isn’t fair
to call it a “freeway. The moving
sidewalk at the airport often moves
faster.
•••
While I hesitate to mention
this on the same page, it’s important that we be vigilant about this
proposed high speed train that will
do so much harm to our communities – not only ours, but communities like ours all along the route
between Houston and Dallas.
People driving between the
two cities stop along the way for
gas and barbecue and ice cream.
They stop along the road to buy
fresh peaches, sweet potatoes, and
watermelon. They plow money
into the rural Texas economy. All
of that will be just a blur out the
window of a train going 200 miles
per hour.
Your best weapon is education, so go to http://www.texansagainsthsr.com and learn as much as
you can about this train AND how
to fight it. Then attend local meetings, including those put on by the
train people (http://www.texascentral.com.). Ask questions. Contact
your elected officials at ALL levels. Your voice is important, but
only if you open your mouth.
The city council of Waller
has already officially voiced our
concerns to Texas Central, and we
copied all of our elected officials.
County Judge Trey Duhon has
been a vocal opponent, as have
many other elected officials. Get
involved. Make some noise. Maybe we can’t stop it; but we have to
try.

Our shaky economy will have great impact on Election 2016
According to the U.S. government, the Great Recession
ended more than five years ago
and recovery is complete. Yet,
most Americans don’t feel that
way. Many, rather, feel the effects of a stagnant economy--flat
wages, rising prices, high debt,
and fear about the future stability of Social Security and Medicare.
Obviously, there is a tremendous disconnect between
those living inside the beltway in
Washington, D.C. and the folks
on Main Street. Despite the rose-
colored glasses worn by the pundits in the media, reality bites,
and the future outlook for the
U.S. economy seems bleak.
America’s economy is not
yet in recession, which is defined
by two consecutive months of
negative GDP (gross domestic
product) growth, but fears of a
recession are growing fast. Last
quarter growth was only .7% and
for 2015 growth remained at a
sluggish 2.4%.
In 2008, after the collapse
of the housing market and looming bank failures, the Federal
Reserve lowered interest rates
to near 0, and began pumping
money into the economy in a series of bursts collectively named
“quantitative easing”. Seven
years of 0 interest rates, $3.7 trillion of Fed money printing, and
more than 8 trillion piled onto
the public debt has resulted in an
economy struggling to break a
2.5% full-year growth rate. Economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2015 was .7 percent. That’s
it. The rate of economic growth
for the last 23 quarters since the
recession of 2008-2009 is the
slowest of any economic recovery since the Great Depression of
the 1930’s.
As for the stock market, it’s
off to a scary start, with stocks
falling sharply on the fears of
continued weakness in the Chinese economy. Even more ominous is the fact that the market
is off to its rockiest start since
1932.
Wall Street has been spooked
by the crash in oil prices. Oil
dropped 3% last week and is back
below $30 a barrel. Cheap oil is
great for consumers, but alarms
investors who fear it signals
something isn’t right with the
economy. Several noted economists and investors have stated
that the market, propped up by
quantitative easing, is overvalued, and due for a crash.
Consumer spending is another worry noted by economists.
U.S. consumers make up about
70% of the economy, and they
haven’t been opening their wallets much, despite lower gasoline
prices. Even during the holiday
season last December, consumer
spending continued to be flat.

U.S. manufacturing is already in recession, as that sector
contracted for the fourth straight
month in January, according to
the key ISM index, which tracks
industry’s growth.
And although official unemployment has fallen to below 5%,
that number is not at all a true
picture of the job market. In fact,
job cuts soared 218% in January,
mainly due to falling oil prices.
The official unemployment rate,
as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading. Why? Because if you
stop looking for work, if your
unemployment runs out, or if
you can only obtain part time
employment, you are no longer
counted as unemployed. That’s
why the official employment rate
doesn’t feel like good times for
most households. If you include
the marginally employed, longterm unemployed, and underemployed, the rate would more than
double.
Further bad news that will
impact growth is the U.S. trade
deficit, which widened last month
due to weak global demand for
U.S. goods to 2.1 percent or $43.4
billion, and it is not expected to
improve any time soon. Our trade
deficit with China reached an all
time high in 2015, an astounding
$365,691,500,000.
During 2016, the U.S. economy may also be negatively affected by political instability in the
Mideast, including the mass migration crisis facing Europe and
the world. This mass movement
of people, affecting key global
markets, could affect the U.S.
economy in unexpected ways, as
could the continued slowing of
economic growth in China, and
all emerging markets.
Because of economic uncertainty, it is imperative that
Americans take a hard look at
presidential candidates. Since
our national debt will rise to over
$20 trillion by the time of the
presidential election, a nearly unsustainable amount, how can we
keep on spending? Taking all the
money, from all the 1%, would
not even sustain Social Security.
Everyone should consider
the possibility of another recession, perhaps worse than the that
of 2008. This time the Federal
Reserve is out of its bag of tricks.
Quantitative easing, which simply prints money “magically”
into the economy, has ended and
interest rates, even after seven
years, have only risen to slightly
above zero.
Remember, this time if the
economy tanks, there are no in-
terest rates to lower. In 2008, Fed
Chair Ben Bernanke was able
to lower the rate from 5.25%
to near 0. What now? Will the
Federal Reserve try to sell more
Treasury Bonds to pump more
borrowed money into the economy? What if no one is buying?
After all, 23 countries have now
dropped the dollar as their exchange currency.
Because of these factors,
the ability of government to save
markets this time around will be
difficult, if not impossible. Add
to that chaos in currency, bond
and equity markets, which has
already begun, and the outlook
for 2016 is bleak.
Keep in mind, during your
deliberations to choose a candidate, that nothing is free. Debt always must be paid. In the words
of Margaret Thatcher, “Eventually we run out of other people’s
money.”
Like former President Bill
Clinton’s campaign for the presidency famously once said, “It’s
the economy, stupid.” Well, it is,
and everyone’s life depends on
it.
Yes, our country faces challenges, but they can all be overcome. After all, our country is
still the last great hope of Earth,
and a place where Americans
still feel grateful to possess their
unique birthright. Still to this
day, in no other nation, is it easier
for a man or woman of any race
or ethnicity, to rise from obscurity to a position of power and
wealth. No doubt that there are
millions who would love to walk
in your shoes. May God continue to bless the United States of
America!

Great Texas warrant roundup begins March 5 S & N Appliances
Representatives of law enforcement agencies and courts
from more than 300 jurisdictions
across Texas announced combined efforts to host the 2016
Great Texas Warrant Roundup
beginning Saturday, March 5.
The roundup is designed to
target thousands of defendants
with traffic, parking, city ordinance, penal code, and higher
charge warrants from participating jurisdictions. The focus is
to bring these individuals into
compliance with court orders;
there are multiple options that
are available to do so.
Hundreds of thousands of
notices were recently mailed
statewide by participating entities. Numerous counties, justices of the peace, constables,
and municipalities of all sizes
will participate in the roundup.
It is believed to be the largest
joint operation of its kind.
Affected persons are urged
to contact the appropriate jurisdiction or jurisdictions during
the next two weeks to dispose of
their cases voluntarily to avoid
the inconvenience and embarrassment of arrest.

to the Texas Indigent Defense
Commission (TDIC) asking for
a review/assessment of Waller
County’s Indigent Defense Program and to inquire about possible grant opportunities available
to upgrade the program.
After the presentation, District Judge Albert McCaig, Jr.
presented the current status of
the county’s indigent defense
plan, procedures and policies.
McCaig stated during his presentation, “I welcome an assessment
and believe we will be shown to
be in compliance with all state
laws.” McCaig added that five
additional magistrates, a team
from TIDC, has assessed Waller
County’s Indigent Defense Plan,
making sure the plan is current
on all laws.
Judge McCaig stated that
numerous internal control measures are used to ensure the
county is in compliance with the
Waller Indigent Defense plan by
including the County Auditor,
District Clerk, District Attorney,
and Contract Attorneys in the
process of compliance.
“Of course, good legal
counsel is also integral to any
plan. Waller County has 10 indigent attorneys, a diverse team
consisting of three Spanish language speakers and three African Americans, and a mixture of
male and female advocates, who
have a total combined average
experience of 22.4 years,” added
McCaig.
Waller County has a large
percentage of indigent cases. In
2015, the county prosecuted 572
felonies, of which 336 were indigent cases or about 42% of all
cases presented to the court.
•••
Commissioner Pct. 2, Russell Klecka requested that the
court direct County Auditor, Alan
Younts, to conduct a thorough
audit of the whereabouts of all
weapons bought or maintained
by the Waller County Sheriff ’s
Office, including a review of
weapons’ transfers.
Klecka stated that he had
been concerned about the weapons since a small arsenal of
guns was stolen from the Waller
County Sheriff ’s vehicle outside
a Saltgrass Steakhouse near Katy,
which have yet to be recovered.
Younts stated that he had
never been approached by the
commissioner in regards to his
concerns about the weapons and
stated that an auditor is independent and cannot be “directed” by
the court to perform an audit, as
per Klecka’s request. By law, the
County Auditor is completely independent to avoid a political use
of his office.
“I encourage commissioners
or any official who has a concern
about audits to meet with me in
my office to discuss their concerns. I’m there every day, and
would gladly address any issues
you might have,” Younts stated.
Younts added that Waller
County Sheriff Glenn Smith has
requested an audit of the weapons
and he does not mind completing
the task. According to Younts, an
audit of weapons has never been
done before in the county and

most counties do not conduct
weapon’s audits, however, there
are a few that do.
“All departments are audited
by our office, including the sheriff ’s. The last audit of the sheriff ’s office was done in 2014, but
weapons were not a part of that
process,” Younts explained.
After intense discussion,
the court voted to request (not
direct), and the county auditor
agreed to conduct the weapons
audit, with the exclusion of the
property room, which may contain evidence. A regular audit of
the WCSO was already scheduled for the spring.
In other business, the court
approved payment of $35,933
to Texana for behavioral healthcare. Last quarter, over 12,000
individuals received services
for behavioral health. The state
provides $3 million for behavior services in Waller County,
which includes a center for children with autism in southern
Waller County. A mobile mental
health team is instantly available
to provide services within one
hour to a jail or a home.
Also, the court approved a
proclamation proclaiming February Black History Month in
Waller County.
Judge Trey Duhon conducted the regular session meeting,
also attended by Commissioners
Justin Beckendorf, John Amsler,
Jeron Barnett, and Russell
Klecka.

Each of the above referenced
presentations covered the negative
impact the HSR would have on
the community in several areas,
including: natural resources, the
environment, historical and cultural impacts, land values, school
districts, and emergency services.
Also addressed was the concern
that federal laws under the National Environmental Policy Act have
not been followed, especially by
the Federal Railroad Commission.
PVAMU not only hosted the
meeting, but provided logistical
support as well as live streaming
and videotaping of the event.
Waller County Judge Trey
Duhon commented that he felt the
meeting could not have gone any
better and that this meeting is most
likely the first of many to come.
Duhon added, “We sent a
huge message tonight--we will not
let anyone walk over our county
for a private, for profit boondoggle.”

APPLICATION South Central Equine Crematory has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for renewal of Air Quality Permit Number 79313, which would authorize continued operation of an animal crematory located at Farm to Market 2920 Road, Waller,
Harris County, Texas 77484. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location
is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice. For exact location, refer
to application.

the following air contaminants: particulate matter including particulate matter with diameters of 10
microns or less and 2.5 microns or less, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and organic compounds.
This application was submitted to the TCEQ on January 21, 2016. The application will be available
for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, TCEQ Houston regional office, and the Melanee
Smith Memorial Library, 2103 Main Street, Waller, Harris County, Texas, beginning the first day of
publication of this notice. The facility’s compliance file, if any exists, is available for public review
in the Houston regional office of the TCEQ.
The executive director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct
a technical review of the application. In addition to the renewal, this permitting action includes the
incorporation of the following authorizations or changes to authorized facilities related to this permit:
amendments. The reasons for any changes or incorporations, to the extent they are included in the
renewed permit, may include the enhancement of operational control at the plant or enforceability of
the permit. For more information about this permit application or the permitting process, please call
the Public Education Program toll free at 1 800 687 4040. The TCEQ may act on this application
without seeking further public comment or providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met.
PUBLIC COMMENT You may submit public comments, or a request for a contested case
hearing to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. The TCEQ will consider all public
comments in developing a final decision on the application. The deadline to submit public comments is 15 days after newspaper notice is published. After the deadline for public comments,
the executive director will prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the TCEQ’s
jurisdiction to address in the permit process.
After the technical review is complete the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. If only comments are
received, the response to comments, along with the executive director’s decision on the application,
will then be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or who is on the mailing list for this
application, unless the application is directly referred to a contested case hearing.
OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING You may request a contested case
hearing. The applicant or the executive director may also request that the application be directly
referred to a contested case hearing after technical review of the application. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. Unless a written request for a
contested case hearing is filed within 15 days from this notice, the executive director may act on the
application. If no hearing request is received within this 15 day period, no further opportunity
for hearing will be provided. According to the Texas Clean Air Act § 382.056(o) a contested case
hearing may only be granted if the applicant’s compliance history is in the lowest classification under
applicable compliance history requirements and if the hearing request is based on disputed issues
of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision on the application. Further, the
Commission may only grant a hearing on those issues submitted during the public comment period
and not withdrawn.
A person who may be affected by emissions of air contaminants from the facility is entitled to
request a hearing. If requesting a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1)
your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime
phone number; (2) applicant’s name and permit number; (3) the statement “[I/we] request a
contested case hearing;” (4) a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by
the application and air emissions from the facility in a way not common to the general public;
(5) the location and distance of your property relative to the facility; (6) a description of how
you use the property which may be impacted by the facility; and (7) a list of all disputed issues
of fact that you submit during the comment period. If the request is made by a group or association, one or more members who have standing to request a hearing must be identified by
name and physical address. The interests the group or association seeks to protect must also
be identified. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the application/permit which
would satisfy your concerns. Requests for a contested case hearing must be submitted in writing within 15 days following this notice to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
If any requests for a contested case hearing are timely filed, the Executive Director will forward the
application and any requests for a contested case hearing to the Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. Unless the application is directly referred to a contested
case hearing, the executive director will mail the response to comments along with notification of
Commission meeting to everyone who submitted comments or is on the mailing list for this application. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor
submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted,
the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and
law relating to relevant and material air quality concerns submitted during the comment period. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the Commission’s
jurisdiction to address in this proceeding.
MAILING LIST In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask to be placed on a mailing list for this application by sending a request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
Those on the mailing list will receive copies of future public notices (if any) mailed by the Office of
the Chief Clerk for this application.
AGENCY CONTACTS AND INFORMATION Public comments and requests must be submitted
either electronically at www.tceq.texas.gov/about/comments.html, or in writing to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Office of the Chief Clerk, MC-105, P.O. Box 13087, Austin,

home also raises dairy cattle,

school uniforms are made on
site by staff members who are
professional seamstresses.”
The home also sells excess garden produce, eggs and
chickens in the local village
in Little Eden’s village store;
“God’s Mercy Shop” named
by Mike Eden to honor “God’s
Mercy Store” of Waller, that
was a town icon for many, many
years. Knitted sweaters, scarfs
and tailor services are also
available in the shop.
This year will mark the
10th Annual Little Eden Children’s Home Fund Raiser.
Ben’s Chuck Wagon of Wallis, will cater a delicious meal.
There will be a Silent and Live
Auction, with many nice items
to bid on. A raffle for a Stainless Steel Saber Grill will also

In addition to the already
exciting line-up, the premiere
of “The Story of Little Eden
Children’s Home” documentary
will be shown.
“You won’t want to miss the
touching story of our children
and the scenery of the beautiful
countryside of Kenya,” Eden
exclaimed.
Randy Harrington of Bella
Vista Productions of Conroe,
traveled to Kenya with the
Eden’s last summer as a member of their annual summer
mission team, to film the every-
day life of the children, staff,
and home.
Eden said his work is fantastic. “Once you watch this
heartwarming
documentary,
you will understand why Mr.
Harrington is known as a Professional Videographer! It is a
promise that you will go away
wishing that you could watch
the documentary just one more
time,” she smiled. “And once
you hear Matron Anne speak
and you experience the story
portrayed in the documentary,
you will leave with the understanding of why so many travel
with the Eden’s every summer
to minister to the children and
the local villager’s. They have
made these children their life
time mission!
Area residents and supporters are invited to join them on a
“Journey to Little Eden” at 5:30
p.m. on Saturday, March 5.
