TGCA divulges three Softball All-State and All-Star selections
by Coach April McAdams
Holly Vanckhoven, sophomore, SS/P;
Vanckhoven had a .706 batting average in
district. For the season, she had a 565 batting
average, 31 RBIs, 39 singles, 10 doubles, five
triples and one home run. She struck out two
times all year. On the mound, she was 2-1
with seven saves, averaging 7.68 strikeouts per
seven innings.
Chelsi Davis, Junior, P; Davis, the junior
southpaw was the Lady Eagles’ leader with
a 14-6 record and a 2.20 ERA. In 23 games
and 108 innings, she had 136 strikeouts (8.81
per seven innings). She also hit .397 with 25
singles, one double, one triple and one home
run, in addition to driving in 18 runs.
Mary Whitworth, Senior, U; A four-year utility player for the Lady Eagles, Whitworth
spent most of her time in center field. She
had a .415 batting average, 22 singles, three
doubles, 15 RBIs, a .472 slugging percentage
and a .523 on-base percentage. She also had
17 stolen bases, a .951 fielding percentage and
113 putouts.
It is a great honor to be selected to the
Texas Girl’s Coaches Association (TGCA)
2A Softball All-State Team, and Junction can
boast because it has two young ladies that
have done just that!
Holly Vanckhoven, a sophomore shortstop,
and Chelsi Davis, a junior pitcher, have both
been selected! Vanckhoven has been selected
two years in a row now. Her batting average
this season was .565; she hit 39 singles, ten
doubles, five triples, and a homerun. Due to
all of those hits, she drove in 31 runs to help
the Lady Eagles reach the Area round of the
play-offs again this season.
Davis plays a crucial roll on the team as
the starting pitcher, and she was our biggest
defensive threat in 2012 as she had an earned
run average of only 2.2. She struck out 136
batters out of the 465 she faced and retired 43
more from the balls hit back to her. Her hitting
also was a solid contributor for the Junction
Softball team this season with a .397 batting

The City Council’s regular
monthly meeting on June 11
was immediately preceded
by a public hearing on the
city’s application for a grant
to reconstruct the sidewalks
around the Kimble County
Courthouse. After the hearing,
the council dealt with administrative matters, including
appointing the city’s Mayor
Pro Tem.
There were no public comments during the hearing on
the grant application, which
totals $127,075 (state funds of
$97,025 and matching funds
of $30,050 from the Junction
Texas Economic Development
Corporation (JTEDC)).
After reviewing city financial and departmental reports
and approving the payment
of bills, the council appointed Alderman Olan Raley to
serve as Mayor Pro Tem (acts
for mayor when he is absent
from office). Raley was also
appointed to serve on the
city’s downtown revitalization
task force.
The task force is comprised
two individuals from the city
(Mayor Maddux and Raley),
the JTEDC, the Junction
Texas Tourism Board and the
Kimble County Chamber of
Commerce. It will monitor
implementation of the downtown revitalization plan that
has been approved by the
council. The first meeting of
the task force will be held on
July 2 in the City Hall Meeting
Room.

This rock and tile were placed on the practice field at Eagle Stadium to pay tribute to the
late Coach Jimmy Baugh, who made a big impact on the class of 1995. Baugh’s family,
from left, Jeri Lynn Baugh, Jim Ed Baugh, Jayme Baugh Jendrusch, Jody Baugh Enriquez
and grandson, Kevin Jendrusch, pose with the newly placed memorial. The class, with the
help of Brittany Whitworth, Charles Hagood, Bill McMillan, Art and Debra Mudge, Lynn
Davis, Luke Levien and Luis Escalon, a tile layer from San Antonio, to name a few, had a
hand in making this all take place. The tile reads, In Memory of Jimmy Baugh; JHS Class of
1969; Teacher/Coach at JISD, 1990-1999. Coach Baugh played an instrumental role in many
young lives at JISD. Through his passion for sports, love for teaching, incredible humor, and
jovial spirit, he taught us how to succeed and be a winner in the classroom, on the athletic field,
and in life. A true Junction Eagle until the end, Coach Baugh will not be forgotten. Baugh
passed away July 23, 2011, after a long, hard battle with cancer.

The
Junction
Texas
Economic Develop Corporation (JTEDC) has been
busy working to bring economic benefits to Junction.
On Monday, June 4, JTEDC
members met with members
of the Tourism Board, the
Chamber of Commerce, the
City Council, and downtown
business people, along with
facilitators from LCRA and
PEC to discuss a Downtown
Revitalization Plan created by
the Downtown Revitalization
Committee. Questions were
answered and comments made
about the plan developed to
align the efforts of the public
boards to work in tandem to
revitalize downtown Junction.
One outcome of the meeting
was the charge to develop a
task force composed of members of each of the boards to
meet together monthly with
representatives of the City
Council. The task force will
discuss progress met toward
implementing the goals outlined in the Downtown
Revitalization Plan.
This inter-organization-
al group will foster greater
communication between the
public boards, who are all
working toward a common
goal, and the good of the community.
Another idea discussed was
the formation of a Downtown
Business Association composed of downtown property and business owners that
would also send a representative to the task force meetings.
At the June 5 JTEDC meeting, the Board voted to increase
the matching funds available for a Texas Capital Fund
Downtown
Revitalization
Grant to $35,000 to support the reconstruction of the
unsafe sidewalks at the Kimble
County Courthouse. The
increase became necessary
when the need to rehabilitate
the historic fence that currently
rests upon the sidewalks was
identified.
In other business, the Board
awarded Advertising and
Marketing Grants to two Main
Street businesses:
Wagner Stylist Barber Shop
and the Lazy T Motel. These
grants are available to businesses making application for
grants up to $2500 to paint
or add siding to the building,
make landscape improvements, or improve signage.
The Board also discussed
placing scenes of early
Junction painted by Nadine
Eby and others in the windows of some of the vacant
downtown properties to help
beautify and create interest in
downtown Junction. JTEDC
invites any local artists willing
to participate in this project
to contact JTEDC Executive
Director Patricia Whitty at
325-446-3402.
The Board also voted to
write a letter of support for
the Concho Valley Transit
District’s plan to identify the
transportation needs of the
employees and employers in
the region and develop ways
to address these needs. Patricia
Whitty reported on the status
of the JTEDC Action Plan.
The Action Plan focuses on
three priorities: revitalizing
downtown Junction, business
recruitment and expansion,
and building relationships with
other City of Junction organizations. Whitty and Board

Meanderings
by Frederica Wyatt
Among flora now gracing
the countryside are varicolored Coneflowers. The native
plants, sometimes known as
“Thimbleflowers”, resemble
sombreros and are abundant in
this area of Texas.
When I espy the flowers, I
think of the late Roy Thiers
of Roosevelt and his tall coneshaped hat that was a distinct
part of his persona.
The electrical storm last
week brought welcomed rains,
but the lightning ruined our
new television set and the
modem on my home computer. The Suddenlink repairman
assured us that surge controls
are sometimes ineffective during thunderstorms. Thankfully,
we are “back on track” in this
“age of electronics”.
With sadness, I chronicle the death of friends and
acquaintances who have
passed into the Great Beyond.
My neighbor and friend, Eula
Irene Crumbley Adams, died
Wednesday, June 6, and funeral services were Saturday,
June 9. She was laid to rest
beside her husband, the late
Edward Delaney Adams, in the
Junction Cemetery. Eula was a
daughter of the late Thomas
and Della Morris Crumbley
and a daughter-in-law of the
late William David and Emma
Hight Adams. Eula’s interesting genealogy is in the book,
Families of Kimble County.
Hoyt Truelove of Burnet
sent news of the June 1 death
of a cousin, Jerry Fellers of
Moffat, Texas. Jerry, the oldest
son of the late Walter and Faye
Millsap Fellers, was born in
Junction. Funeral services were
Monday, June 4, in Belton with
burial in the Moffat Cemetery.
Jerry is survived by his wife,
Alice, and daughters, Kerry
and Trena. His two brothers
are Steve and Vance. The latter
was the namesake of his maternal grandfather, the late Vance
Millsap of Kimble County.
The Millsap family history is
in Families of Kimble County.
The Museum Building Fund
Committee of Kimble County
Historical Commission gratefully acknowledges contributions from a host of supporters. A “Trailblazer” donation
toward our goal for a new and
larger museum was received
from a former Junction resident, Jimmy H. Bissett of San
Antonio.
Monetary gifts in memory of
Mary Farmer Murr were from
Pat and Anne Rose and Ronald
and Diane Sutton. The Suttons
included a gift in memory of
Virginia Mahler. Dixie Jetton
Hunt of Greenville contributed
in memory of Virginia Mahler,
who had been the Girl Scout
leader for Dixie’s troop.
Carl and Gwen Sellers
Nolte of Spring sent a memorial for Sandra “Sandy” Urban
Robertson of College Station.
Sandy and Gwen were dear
friends and fellow graduates of
the JHS class of 1957.
Memorials
for
Eula
Crumbley Adams were from
Johnny Adams of Carlsbad,

Adams of Albuquerque, New
Mexico; and from Milton and

Louise Davis Adams and their
family.
Mike and Ginger Ellis of
Belton were among a number
of out-of-town visitors during
the week at Kimble Historical
Museum. They were founding
members of Dayspring Baptist
Church in Austin pastored by
the late Jackson Boyett. The
Ellis couple planned to visit
the graves of Jackson and his
wife, Barbara, in the Junction
Cemetery.
Tom and Mary Carroll of
Atwood, Kansas, were in quest
of family information when
they visited our historical facility. Tom’s mother was the former Mattie Faye Cothrun, who
was born in 1914 in Junction.
She was the daughter of John
Marlin Cothrun, and the family moved to Waggoner,
Oklahoma, before the 1920
census was enumerated.
Mattie Faye Cothrun married
Thomas J. Carroll in Sebastian,
Arkansas. Our information on
the families is almost nil, as
they lived here for only a brief
time.
A number of local persons
registered at Kimble Historical
Museum, and another out-oftown person was Ray Reid of
Bridge City.
Frontier Guards Camp, Sons
of Confederate Veterans, and
Mary Harlow Griffith Chapter,
Order of Confederate Rose,
held concurrent meetings
Saturday morning in Kimble
Historical Museum.
Those attending from outof-town were Gaylan Harrison
of Coahoma, Chap Traylor
of Sonora, David McMahon
(now serving as Brigade
Commander) and Golda Foster
of San Angelo, Jay Taylor and
Don Taylor, both of Harper,
Dennis W. Guenter of Granite
Shoals, and Jerry Brewer of
Uvalde.
Margaret and I are the grateful recipients of fresh garden
squash given to us by the “master” gardener, C. W. Schaefer.
An electronic message from
Jim and Dixie Gartrell of the
Falls Creek Ranch in eastern
Kimble County, brought news
that the couple and their granddaughter, Alexis, were to be in
Rome on Monday, June 11,
and planned to attend a prayer
service in the Sistine Chapel.
“Barbs, Bullets, & Blood”
is the title of the symposium
to be held Saturday afternoon,
June 16, from 1 to 5 o’clock in
the Civic Center at Mill Pond
Park in San Saba. Topic of the
event, sponsored by San Saba
Historical Museum, will be the
story of barbed wire in Texas.
One of the four speakers will
be former Kimble County
resident, Harold D. Jobes,
now of Cedar Park. He is a
member of Edwards Plateau
Historical Association, and his
upcoming book examines the
fence-cutting wars of Texas.
Other speakers will be Bob
Alexander, Michael Barr and
Clifford Caldwell.
Del and Barbara Wyatt sent
word that their “Chevis” apricot tree produced some delectable fruit this year. The tree
was an offspring of one of our
fruit trees (no longer in existence) and was transplanted, in
its early years, from our yard
and relocated in Dallas.
A lot of activity is planned
for Saturday, June 30, across
the street from the museum.
Smart Choice Auto is sponsoring an open-air market, brisket
and beans cook-off, live music,
and fun for the entire family.
Proceeds from the concession
stand and brisket plates (available by donation of at least $5)
will be donated to the Kimble
County organizations of Meals
on Wheels, historical museum,
and volunteer fire departments.
Summer brings holidays and
times to remember. Chanes
Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, urges
all residents to fly their United
States and Texas flags on Flag
Day, June 14.
Father’s Day will be Sunday,
June 17, and the Summer
Solstice will be Wednesday,
June 20.

Book Review
By Martha Richardson
Portrait of a
Lady
by Henry James
This classic novel by Henry
James is considered to be one
of his finest. Written in 1880,
it portrays a time when women
were at the mercy of their family’s station in life.
Isabel Archer is an exceptional young and beautiful American woman, who
is brought to England by
her wealthy Aunt Touchett.
Isabel’s openness and intelligence captivate her uncle and
cousin Ralph. It is assumed
that she is ready to marry, and
she is pursued by more than
one suitor. However, Isabel
has a need to see more of life,
and when she is left a generous
inheritance by her uncle, she
decides to travel and follow
her instincts.
Although intelligent, she is
not worldly, and falls prey to
a charming but devious plot
by an expatriate who wishes to
marry her for her money. The
story develops slowly, hinting at some of Isabel’s future.
There is much dialogue that
only serves to show the various minor characters in their
shallowness.
The author to some degree
is satirizing Americans’ fascination with Europe and the
moneyed world which appears
charming and leisurely but
proves to be much different.
It takes patience to read at this
novel’s pace, but one will find
it rewarding, if time is taken
to appreciate the skill of the
writer.

L i n k s by Dequinta Zeiters
Summer is here! We have
had two days in the triple digits
already, but it has not discouraged our Thursday scramble
contenders. This week the
winning team members were
Kenny Smart, John Rimes and
Audren Tomlinson. Closest to
the pin on hole #6 was John
Rimes and hole #8 was Dustin
Lyne.
The skins hole was won by
the team of Smart, Rimes, and
Tomlinson.
The scrambles are every
Thursday with tee off at 5 p.m.,
the entry fee is $10 for members and $15 for non-members.
Entry fee does not include your
cart. Everyone is welcome to
come out and enjoy the fun!
We had an old friend come
out and play this week. Gary
Mckenna was here with his
son, Cory, and daughter-in-law
Darla. They were out for a
couple of rounds with Scot
Andrews. I don’t know what
their scores were, but I know
Gary would win the prize
for traveling the longest distance, all the way from Lake
Chapalla, Mexico.
Junction Golf Course is truly
an asset to Junction and Kimble
County and a great place to get
some fresh air and entertain
friends and family when they
come for a visit.
I would like to say a extra
thank you to director Shannon
Boyles and president Clay
Armes this week. They do a
great job promoting Junction
Golf Club and are always ready
to lend a hand when it is needed.
Shannon and Clay have donated their time and hard work
for all special events, including the Art Barragan Memorial
Scholarship Tournament, BarB-Que fundraisers, the Cinco
de Mayo Tournament and
club scrambles. Thank you,
Shannon and Clay!
I will close today with this

My Opinion
by John Parker
Guess summer is here. The thermometer pretty well shows it
and the calendar is keeping up. Father’s Day and Flag Day and
the “4th” are upon us, and I made it through Memorial Day.
Even got a few days on the river and a good look at the minnows
in the edges. I think I’ll promise myself to get back down to the
edge, catch a few minnows and work on catfish.
Speaking about minnows, I found out something last time I
was on the river, some of them are really not bad eating. Red
Horse are not so good but the little silvers are pretty good in an
egg, some milk, and some corn meal. Fried of course. Sometimes
you have to get a bit older to learn some things. Minnows, of
course, have been bait so long they are looked down upon. So
far so good for me. I thought they tasted great. (I know the “real”
fishermen will scoff.)
Back in the “real” world, (Washington) they are blasting away
at anyone and anything they say or print. Of course, THEY don’t
have any time for such fol-de-rol as minnows! No matter if you
use them for bait or break tradition and catch them for a strange
but different lunch.
The real knowledgeable fellows who search through the words
of wisdom and the political dirt and attacks have recently had a
line of world knowledge that may have a bearing on when the
economic forces of the nations of the world collide and slam
back into earth like the early space craft. Then! I’ll bet ya since
they only know how to catch minnows, that’s what they will be
eating.
I would like to thank the people that
voted for me in the May Primary. I
enjoyed meeting each and every one
of you. To my opposing candidates,
thank you for a good and fair race.

A message
from Chief Marvin Ivy
I know someone who picked
up two five gallon buckets
of trash at Flatrock Park last
Saturday morning. There were
several diapers (4), about six
socks and a flip-flop and a
child’s sandal. The rest of the
trash collected was made up
of the usual suspects: cigarette
packages, candy wrappers, soft
drink bottles and beer cans.
A couple who kayaked
down from the state park on
Sunday collected a couple
of onion bags full of more
beer cans, water bottles, styrofoam cups and six different
flip-flops and a boogie board.
The onion bags are supplied
by the South Llano Watershed
Alliance with a grant from the
Tourism board and help from
the Neuces River Authority.
We have them here at the PD
if you have a group going out
and you want to pick up along
the river.
There is a dumpster at
Flatrock Park for depositing
your trash from the river, but
it is better if you take it home
and sort the recycling into
your household recycling bins.
Leaving the river cleaner than
you found it is a good goal
that allows the trip down the
river to be even more rewarding than the usual experience.
We want our guests to know
they are welcome to come and
visit and support our businesses with their purchases. But
everyone has a responsibility
to leave the river cleaner than
he/she found it. If we have to
issue littering citations to make
that happen, we will.
One of the worst parts of my
job is when I have to approach
those of you who are watering on the wrong days. I am
sure you don’t like to have it
pointed out to you, and I can
promise you that I don’t get a
kick out of it.
Our water conservation
plan is in effect every year
from May 1st to September
15th. It allows you to water on
even/odd days based on your
address and before noon and
SMALL TOWN
after 6 p.m. on those days. No
one can water between noon
and 6 p.m.
Several people that I have
warned have mentioned that
they have automatic timers
that they cannot seem to get
reprogrammed. If you want to
find a part-time job for some
kid with a little initiative, he/
she should set up a business
reprogramming sprinkler timers here. There is a market.
There was a good class last
weekend at Texas Tech on
invasive species, both plant
and insect. Many of the plants
that we use in our landscaping
are considered non-native and
potentially invasive. Some of
them don’t hurt anything in
urban environments but shed
seeds that flow down and can
hurt our waterways. Many
of the insects that are being
moved around are done inadvertently through camper’s
firewood that crosses state
lines or wood product packing
materials. You can go online to
get caught up on some of this
good information.
Until later, let’s do all we
can to keep our river clean and
enjoy life here in the Land of
Living Waters.

Kimble County
Cook’s Nook
by Clara Margaret Schwiening St. Clair
Pictured above, from left, are Michael Clements, Joe King and Jeremy King; inset on left is Jonathan King and inset on right is Savvy
Glasscock.
Meet Joe King, the head of a very large blended clan of sons from
three different directions, so to speak, and a man who speaks equally
highly and lovingly of all. Although Joe has a remarkable story himself, he wanted to talk about his family, not himself. Joe has two sons
and two stepsons, and a really sweet wife, Jeannie, whom he married
on February 1 of this year. (Thank you, Michael, for giving me the correct wedding date, without your mom knowing that Joe missed it by a
couple of months.)
Jeremy King worked for his dad’s Houston waste company, and following the sale of the company, he has remained as company manager
for several years.
Jonathan King manages King Pet Care for Joe. Jonathan’s wife,
Phoebe, recently completed her term as Chief Resident at UT Medical
School, San Antonio. Jonathan and Phoebe are on vacation in Maylasia,
and when they return she will complete her pulmonary fellowship in
San Antonio. Joe likes to claim bragging rights on Phoebe, too, and take
this opportunity to report that Phoebe was accepted to medical school
upon graduation from high school.
Joe’s son, Jonathan, and his stepson, Savvy Glasscock, both attended
National Canine Training Academy, although at different times, and Joe
is so happy to have bragging rights again, as Savvy trains animals all
over the world now. He specializes in bomb and personal protection just
to mention a couple of areas.
It is Joe’s stepson, Michael, who is getting the opportunity to pursue
his lifelong dream of being a chef, now that his mom and Joe have
opened the Junction Rivers Winery.
On many occasions, while writing the Mother’s Day and Father’s
Day Cook’s Nook Series, and certainly again this week, I am completely surprised to find that most of the cooks I have featured do not cook.
They do, however, like to eat, and they love their families. Sounds like
the perfect story to me! Jeannie cooks for Joe, and Michael cooks for
the winery. Joe did not want run a restaurant; his passion is winemaking,
therefore, the winery serves bistro food.
Like so many new Junctionites who learn of our beautiful county and
exceptional community through introduction to the Llano River, Joe
found Junction years ago when his business partner, Dr. Bob Hunger,
brought him here to fish. Joe’s dad was career U.S. Army, and Joe was
blessed to live in many corners of the world; however, Joe chooses to
live and work in Junction. How about that, Eagle readers?
Michael has been cooking since a very young age. He said his “Papa”
told him that if he cooked, then everyone would have to eat what he
liked. Michael used to cook the usual Texas fare, but began gourmet
cooking about ten years ago. Joe asked Michael to fill in at the winery
when the regular chef had to be off to cook elsewhere during deer season. In October of 2011, Michael became the chef. He enjoys cooking
exotic meats and seafood. As much as he loves cooking, he dislikes
washing the dishes. His mantra, “I cook, you clean.” Michael enjoys
team roping….He heads for money and heels for fun. He also loves
to run and work out, and moving to Junction has generated a love for
kayaking, too.
Fire Roasted Corn Chowder
by Chef Michael
1 quart heavy whipping cream
2 ears fresh corn
1 stick salted butter
1 pinch salt
4 pinches black pepper
Roast corn on grill in husks; combine cream, butter, salt and pepper in
soup pan; cut corn off cob and put in cream/butter mixture; simmer on
stove top over medium heat until it boils..almost to scalding.
Serve with favorite meat, fish or enjoy by itself.
Pepper crusted tuna (rare) with balsamic glazed broccolini
by Chef Michael
broccolini to serve two
you will need “fresh fish”
2 fresh ahi tuna steaks (available at HEB-Kerrville)
red, green, white and black peppercorns
olive oil
salt
For broccolini:
Fresh bunch of broccolini
4 tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
4 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
pinch of each salt & pepper
Over medium high heat in a saute pan, heat oil and saute sliced garlic
and broccolini. Cook until crowns become soft and add vinegar. It will
reduce quickly to a thick sauce. Serve and enjoy
For the tuna:
Crush peppercorns under a large heavy pan on the counter. Heat a
frying pan on high for 1 minute. Coat the tuna in oil and roll on edge
through the peppercorns. Add a small amount of oil to a very hot pan
and sear tuna on both sides for about 30 to 45 seconds. DO NOT OVER
COOK TUNA--it will fall apart.
Serve with broccolini and a nice glass of wine.

Michael’s Secret Grilled Cheese Sandwich
What are you thinking? It IS a secret!
Michael said if you have any questions about the Corn Chowder
recipe you can call him on his cell 325-446-6401. I say if you have any
complaints that he wouldn’t share his oh so delicious Grilled Cheese
Sandwich recipe, you can also call on him on that same cell number and

These young ladies were
chosen from among all nominated athletes in 2A in the state
of Texas, and their contributions to their team have put
them both in the top 40 in the
state! Congratulations ladies!
The TGCA All-Star teams
are broken into two categories;
1, 2 and 3A and then 4 and
5A. The teams are divided by
the eight TGCA regions and
placed on two teams - Blue
and Red.
All-Stars have to be graduated seniors and are rewarded
for their career contributions in
softball. Junction’s own Mary
Whitworth has been awarded
this great honor! She will be
playing for the Blue team at
4:30 on July 9, in Arlington,
Texas, at the Workman
Complex at 701 Arbrook
Boulevard.
Whitworth’s achievements
include: 2009 District 2-A
Newcomer of the Year and
Academic All-District, 2010
2nd Team and Academic AllDistrict, 2011 District 8-AA
Offensive Player of the Year
and Academic All-District
and All-West Texas, 2012
1st Team and Academic AllDistrict and All-West Texas.
Along with these, she will also
receive Academic All-State for
softball for having over a 94
average in all of her classes
throughout her high school
career. Whitworth has been a
four-year starter for the Lady
Eagles, and she has been a
huge team player and therefore
an asset to Junction Softball!
She has played in the outfield,
as a catcher, and at first base
– a true utility player. She will
be heading to Austin College
in Sherman in the fall and will
continue her softball playing
career there! We are proud of
you, Mary – Good luck in the
All-Star game – Go Blue!
All three of these young
ladies were chosen to the AllWest Texas team by the San
Angelo Standard Times last
week. These players have represented Junction very well
this season and we look forward to great things in their
future! Go Black!

GOP, Democrats adopt
party platforms...
Last week, the Republican,
Democratic, Libertarian and
Green parties of Texas held
their state conventions in Fort
Worth, Houston, Fort Worth
and Grey Forest — about 25
miles northwest of downtown
San Antonio, respectively.
Because of their lengthy
traditions and larger memberships, the more heavily attended and media-covered were
Democrats and Republican
meetings.
Republicans gathered at
the Fort Worth Convention
Center. Retired attorney Steve
Munisteri of Houston was
reelected as state party chair.
Delegates adopted a 22-page
party platform that includes
items such as support for border security, judicial restraint,
defense of marriage, abolition
of ad valorem taxation, certain restrictions on state-funded family planning services,
repeal of the U.S. Patient
Protection and Affordable
Care Act and a prohibition on
state or federal loans or grants
for non-U.S. citizens.
Meanwhile, at the George
R. Brown Convention Center
in Houston, attorney Gilberto
Hinojosa of Brownsville was
elected chair of the Texas
Democratic Party. A former
judge and school board member, Hinojosa is the organization’s first Hispanic chair
and has served the party on
the national level. Delegates
passed a party platform with
planks in support of women’s
reproductive rights, marriage
equality for same-sex couples,
repeal of the death penalty,
national single-payer health
insurance, and the decriminalization of marijuana.
Testing results released...
Preliminary results of the
latest high-stakes battery of
student testing required by
state law were released by the
Texas Education Agency on
June 8.
Passing rates on five endof-course “State of Texas
Assessments of Academic
Readiness” tests – taken by
some 319,000 students –
ranged from as high as 87
percent on biology to as low
as 55 percent on English I
writing, the agency reported.
Passing requirements for
the current “STAAR™”
tests will be phased in, getting tougher at intervals
until 2016. STAAR passing
standards require students to
demonstrate more in-depth
knowledge, critical thinking, and application skills
than did the previous Texas
Assessment of Knowledge
and Skills (TAKS), the agen-
cy said. Summaries of scores
are available at www.tea.
state.tx.us.
Tighter budgets ordered...
On June 4, the 10-member Legislative Budget Board
released instructions for state
agencies to use in preparing appropriations requests
for the 2014-2015 two-year
budget cycle.
Lt. Gov. Dewhurst and
House Speaker Joe Straus,
two of the board’s 10 members, and Gov. Rick Perry,
urged agency executives to
hold the line on spending by
submitting requests that detail
how they would reduce their
baseline request by an additional 10 percent, in 5 percent
increments. The leadership
also notified state agencies
that if “state fiscal conditions
warrant it” they may be asked
to reduce their fiscal year
2013 budgets.
Sales tax revenue is up...
Texas Comptroller Susan
Combs, in making her monthly distribution to local governments, on June 6 announced
that state sales tax revenue
in May was $2.09 billion, up
7.3 percent compared to May
2011.
“This marks 26 consecutive
months of sales tax growth,”
Combs said. “As the recovery
continues, the year-to-year
rate of growth is stabilizing.
Collections remain strong in
the oil and natural gas-related
sectors as well as other segments of the Texas economy
such as the restaurant industry.”
DPS joins in Roadcheck...
Texas Department of Public
Safety troopers, in addition to
their normal duties, participated in a June 6-8 nationwide
enforcement effort targeting
tractor-trailers and buses with
serious equipment violations
and drivers not complying
with state and federal requirements.
Troopers checked brakes,
tires, lights and loading standards, licenses and log books,
and watched roadways for
aggressive passenger vehicle
drivers.
DPS
Director
Steve
McCraw
said
“most
18-wheeler and bus wrecks
are actually caused by passenger vehicles, so Texas drivers
can do their part to keep our
roads safe by using extra caution when driving near commercial vehicles.”
Invasive bivalve, water
plant...
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department on June 5 asked
lake users to “Clean your
boat. Save your lake.”
The purpose was to raise
public awareness about two
invasive species: zebra mussels and giant salvinia, and to
call for action.
Requested actions included: clean all debris and plant
material from the boat and
trailer; drain all water from
boat, engine, live wells and
bait buckets; let boat and
trailer dry for at least a week
before using the boat in a noninfested water body.

JTEDC
Continued from Page 1
President Doug Haynes are
meeting with local businesses one-on-one to discuss
ways JTEDC can assist them
in growing their businesses.
Whitty is also promoting the
new JTEDC Revolving Loan
Fund which will soon be available for business start ups or
expansion.
JTEDC is also working to
obtain funds to create a centralized Visitors’ Center.
The board members voted to
appoint directors Jean Jacoby
and Sherry Hubbard to the
Downtown
Revitalization
Task Force.
The Board ended its meeting
with a review of the current fiscal year budget with a view to
beginning work on the budget
for fiscal year 2013 (October 1,
2012 to September 30, 2013).
City Secretary Vivian Saiz
and Executive Director Whitty
conducted the review. 2013
budget workshops will be held
during the coming months.
Board members present for
the meeting included Haynes,
Jacoby, Hubbard, Larry
Maddux and Jack Smith. Those
absent were Fred Bowers and
Hardy Hardin.
The JTEDC Board regularly
meets at 5:15 p.m. on the first
Tuesday of each month in the
City Meeting Room, 102 N.
5th St. Meetings are open to
the public.
