THE AREA’S LEADING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1961
No bull—Helotes Festival Association
hosts the third Bull Blowout
JD Knix Rodeo Company
brought 80 bulls and 80 bull
riders to the Helotes Festival
Association grounds to participate in the third annual
Bull Blowout. Although, this
event was not sanctioned by
the NFR, the PBR, or other
organizations, a professional
crew of riders attended this
event.
A former PBR Rookie of the
Year and PBR finalist bucked
off both nights. Also you had
NFR Finalists, PBR Argentina Champion, and other successful cowboys all trying to
win the solid silver buckle and
the event title.
A former PBR Champion turned stock contractor
brought five of his bulls to contribute to the contest. If you
enjoyed the Cornyval rodeo in
May with Sammy Andrews,

you would have been convinced the bulls at the blow
out were just as good as the
ones in May.
David Gray, Association
President was blessed with
great weather as a small cold
front blew in Friday to provide
relief from the heat.
Saturday the rains came
early to settle the dust and
then avoided the event to
allow everyone the opportunity to enjoy the rodeo.
New this year, the Festival Association dedicated both
nights of the blow out to military organizations. Members
of the local VFW Post provided
the colors and entertained the
crowd with their motorcycles.
Leon Coffee, a Rodeo Hall
of Fame member provided
jokes and skits throughout
the night to keep the audience
laughing and involved with
the evening. He even tried to
launch his NASA probe, but it
fell apart in the arena.
The Texas Legislature
named Rodeo as the official
sport of Texas.
JD Knix,
David Gray, and the others
behind the scenes produced
an event that outshined most
rodeos in Texas.
Felix Truvere and his
band provided the music
and concert for those who
wish to dance and listen to
music after the Blowout.
The Festival Association uses
the funds raised from this
event, Cornyval, and ground
rentals to provide scholarships to local students and to
provide assistance to over 30
non-profit organizations that
participate in Cornyval.
Northside educator charged with inappropriate
relationship between educator and student
On Thursday, August 11
Brennan ROTC instructor,
Darrell Harris, was arrested
and booked into the Guadalupe County Jail on charges
of inappropriate relationship
between an educator and student.
According to a Northside
spokesperson, on August 8
a teenage girl’s parent notified Northside Administration
“she suspected a relationship
between her teacher and her
instructor.”
On August 9, school officials called the educator into
the Employee Relations office
and proceeded to question
him about the relationship between the teacher and the stu-
dent. At that time, Northside
ISD placed the instructor on
administrative leave with pay.
Bexar County Sherriff’s Office released the following “On
August 7, 2016, a Bexar County
Sheriff’s deputy observed a suspicious vehicle parked in the 2300
block of Canthree. The deputy
attempted to stop the vehicle as
the driver drove away. After a
brief pursuit, the deputy noticed a
teenaged girl in the back seat putting clothes on. Harris, who was
driving the car, told the deputy he
is an ROTC instructor and the child
is a student. The child was taken
to an area hospital for evaluation
where she told employees she and
Harris had sexual relations multiple times since May 2016.”
Based on this information,
Bexar County Sheriff’s office secured a warrant for Harris’ arrest. Guadalupe Sheriff Deputies
executed the warrant and booked
him into Guadalupe County Jail.
Northside officials announced
today, “ As of 2:30 today, Mr.
Harris remains on Administrative
Leave; however, because Mr. Harris has been charged and arrested
he will either submit a resignation
or termination procedures will be
carried out by the end of business
today.”
Harris joined the staff of Brennan High School on July 2014. The
ROTC program at Brennan serves
over 300 student members.
San Antonio police arrests two for
bank robbery
RTFU (Robbery Task Force
Unit) was notified of a suspicious male wearing a mask
who approached the Generations FCU at Yarrow and Military Dr. No robbery occurred
and the male left Generations
bank in a silver Toyota 4dr
with paper plates. Within an
hour, a bank robbery came
out at the Amegy Bank. Officers were advised of the suspect vehicle information and
they began trying to locate the
vehicle along the route. The
vehicle was spotted entering
an apartment complex at 600
Sontera, where FBI agents
and SAPD patrol apprehended the driver. Partial items
of evidence were found inside
the vehicle. RTFU reviewed
video at the complex and determined that another suspect
was involved. This suspect was
the roommate of the driver but
he was not immediately found
on property. RTFU contacted
the roommate by phone who
agreed to meet with RTFU
and he was taken into custody. Both suspects were booked
for aggravated robbery for the
Amegy Bank. RTFU secured
search warrants for the suspects apartment and vehicles.
Dave Sartin, Jr. and Jason
Hathorn were taken into custody and charged with aggravated robbery.
Two injured by City employee during Helotes
Marketplace accident
According to Helotes City officials, a City employee was cleaning up and breaking down tables
during the last Helotes Marketplace. The employee loaded a long table onto the golf cart and the
table slid through the cart and knocked the parking break off and engaged the engine.
The golf cart sped forward striking to women who were shopping at Marketplace before crashing into a local business.
The two women were not seriously injured and have not contacted City Hall.
There was no catastrophic damage to the business.
One City official expressed that this was a silly accident that did not need to happen.
Sometimes its a bmpy
ride.

2016 Property Tax Rates in
EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT #8
This notice concerns the 2016 property tax rates for EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT
#8. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual tax rate
the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year’s effective tax rate
would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both
years. This year’s rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before
taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments
as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
Last year’s tax rate:
Last year’s operating taxes
Last year’s debt taxes

÷ This year’s adjusted tax base
(after subtracting value of new property)
=This year’s effective tax rate
(Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.)
This year’s rollback tax rate:
Last year’s adjusted operating taxes
(after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any
transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice
mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures)
÷ This year’s adjusted tax base
=This year’s effective operating rate
x 1.08=this year’s maximum operating rate
+ This year’s debt rate
= This year’s total rollback rate
The Bexar County Emergency Service District No. 7 will hold two
public hearings on a proposal to increase total tax revenues from properties on the tax roll in the preceding tax year by .007665 percent (percentage by which proposed tax rate exceeds lower of rollback tax rate
or effective tax calculated under Chapter 26, Tax Code). Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even
decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your
property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property
and the tax rate that is adopted.
The public hearings will be held on August 24th , 2016 at 9:00 a.m.
and August 31, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. at District No. 7 Fire and Rescue
Station No. 2, 18579 Bandera Rd., Helotes, Texas, 78023.

Medicare: Start Early to
Get the Facts
--When it’s time to sign up
for Medicare, we’re advised
to start three months in advance. That three months
might not be enough time to
get all the information you
need. Your enrollment period
is three months before and
three months after the month
you turn age 65.
Start by going online to
www.medicare.gov and look at
the drop-down menus under
What Medicare Covers and
Your Medicare Costs.
One thing to consider (and
it takes the most time) is
whether you need a Medicare
Advantage Plan, and whether it should be an HMO or
a PPO, or possibly a Private
Fee-for-Service (PFFS) or Special Needs Plan (SNP).
Go online to the Advantage
Plan search and put in your
ZIP code. Enter the names
of the drugs you take, plus
your pharmacy. Review the
plans that are available in
your area and look for the fivestar plans.
Here are some questions
to consider: Will you get to
stay with your own doctor?
Will you have Plan D drug
coverage, and does it cover the
drugs you need? Does the plan
have extras, like dental, hearing and vision coverage? Are
you covered if you travel or if
you get out-of-network care?
And the big question: How
much will it cost? Don’t just
look at the monthly premiums, but also review the
extras, such as office-visit
charges and co-pays, as well
as hospital-stay coverage.
Start your search early
for Medicare information and
what plans are right for you.
It might take longer than you
think.
If you don’t enroll when
you’re eligible, your monthly
premium could go up as much
as 10 percent as a penalty
for each year you weren’t enrolled.

Obama’s Parting Shot
--The Obama administration is entering its final
months, but it’s never too late
to further diminish U.S. influence and discomfit our allies.
President Barack Obama
is considering adopting a
policy of “no first use,” i.e.,
declaring that the United
States would never use nuclear weapons except after a
nuclear attack on itself or its
allies. From Obama’s perspective, this change would have
the dual advantage of being
something he can legitimately
do on his own and representing a radical departure in the
country’s nuclear doctrine.
For 70 years, presidents of
both parties have maintained
a posture of nuclear ambiguity. We wanted enemies to
have to contemplate the possibility of a U.S. nuclear response to acts of aggression.
This added an extra element
of uncertainty and risk to potential attacks on us or our
friends, in the hopes of deterring them in the first place.
Advocates of no first use
urge that we get beyond “Cold
War thinking,” a favorite line
of President Obama’s as well.
The end of the Cold War indeed changed the strategic environment, but it didn’t make
nuclear weapons obsolete, or
render age-old concepts like
deterrence inoperative, or
eliminate international conflict.
Declaring no first use
would kick away an element
of our nuclear deterrent. Yes,
we no longer have to worry
about deterring a massive Soviet army facing west. But
Vladimir Putin has already
changed the borders of Europe
through force, and there’s no
reason to think he’s necessarily done. A RAND Corporation study says that Russian
forces could reach the capitals
of the Baltic States in less
than 60 hours.
Why would we make Putin’s calculation any easier,
or ease the minds of other potential aggressors like China
and North Korea? We might
never use nuclear weapons
in response to a conventional
attack, no matter how brazen.
Obviously the risks in resorting to nuclear weapons would
be mind-boggling, but taking
the possibility off the table
serves no purpose. If we are
going to have nuclear weapons, we should take advantage of their deterrent effect.
Relying entirely on conventional forces for deterrence
would require more military
spending and more forwarddeployed assets by us and our
allies. Of course, the analysts
and activists who argue for no
first use tend to be the same
ones who think we spend too
much on defense. One of these
things does not go along with
the other.
Our allies are freaked out
about the prospect of no first
use. They have long relied on
our nuclear umbrella, and if
it is being pulled back, countries like South Korea and
Japan will need to reconsider
their decisions to forswear
nuclear weapons. This is why
no first use would contradict
President Obama’s opposition
to nuclear proliferation, and
make Global Zero -- the disarmament movement’s goal of a
world free of nuclear weapons
-- even more of a pipe dream.
In short, there is nothing
to recommend no first use
unless you are a lame-duck
president heedless of strategic
reality and looking to make a
gesture of anti-nuclear righteousness. No first use would
make the world, at the margins, a more dangerous place
-- and be a perfect parting
shot for President Obama.

tation, she backed off, saying she had “short-circuited” her answer, whatever
that means.
But even so, some Republicans have decided
that she’s the lesser of two
evils. Meg Whitman, a former Republican gubernatorial candidate in California, says she’ll not just
oppose Trump, but vote for
Clinton. A small number
of top aides and members
of Congress have made the
same public declaration,
but not the heavyweights.
In the name of party unity,
to say nothing of their own
futures, they put out statements about how they’re
appalled by something or
other from Trump’s never-ending toxic stream,
but when asked whether
they’re reconsidering their
endorsement of him, they
are nowhere to be found.
They are leaders refusing
to lead, trying to thread
the needle despite fears
that a Trump presidency
would cause the country to
unravel.
The very prospect of
that is causing our society
to fray. Our democracy is
based on a willingness to
pull together. Instead we
are tearing apart. Collaboration becomes impossible
when there’s no binding
spirit of friendship. Individuals instead are becoming enemies in our own
land.

The National Split
--There’s an interesting
debate going on among
some liberals, some “Never
Trump” holdouts and even
some other conservatives.
It is a really fundamental
question: Can they be personal friends with supporters of Donald Trump?
They have decided that
Trump stands for bigotry,
misogyny and cruelty toward the handicapped -and, in fact, anyone who
dares criticize him, even
the parents of a Muslim
soldier who died defending this country. They’ve
concluded that his backers clearly must share
those outlooks, which they
abhor, or at least find them
acceptable. So, can they
maintain cordial relations
with them, or must they
shun them? Are they reacting to intolerance with an
intolerance of their own?
For a number of Americans, it’s a personal dilemma.
It’s also a growing issue
in politics, which is the
antithesis of personal. It’s
usually not about scruples,
but calculation. That’s
clearly what’s motivating
various leaders of the Re-
publican Party. Typical of
double dealers, they are
trying to have it both ways.
House Speaker Paul Ryan,
Sen. John McCain, even
Trump’s running mate
Mike Pence are among
many in the GOP making
it obvious that deeply offended though they may
be, they can’t bring themselves to abandon their endorsement of Trump.
Hillary Clinton as president, they contend, would
be even more cancerous.
After all she’s just so dishonest. Look no further
than the Sunday talk
shows, where she was playing true to form on Fox
by misrepresenting what
FBI Director James Comey
had said at the conclusion
of the investigation into
her use of a private server
for email while secretary
of state. During her interview she just couldn’t
resist claiming: “Director
Comey said that my answers were truthful, and
what I’ve said is consistent
with what I have told the
American people ...”
He said nothing of the
sort. In fact, James Comey
contradicted many of her
public statements, but said
that he didn’t have enough
evidence to seek an indictment. It’s exactly that kind
of statement -- dissembling
at best, or lying if you’re
not as charitable -- that
has earned the Clintons
a reputation for keeping
their distance from the
truth. After she got caught
in her feeble misrepresen-

Weekly Devotional
When I kept silence,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning
all day long. For day
and night your hand
was heavy on me. My
strength was sapped
in the heat of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin to you. I
didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess
my transgressions to
Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my
sin. Selah Psalms 32:3
WEB
David wrote this
psalm after falling for
Bathsheba. Not only
had he gotten a married woman pregnant,
he had her husband
Uriah, one of his own
mighty men (1 Chr.
11:41) killed in order
to cover it up. His sin
gave him no rest, but
kept eating away at
him day and night.
David was restless
and wasting away. His
peace was gone. The
sweet fellowship that
he had with the Lord,
had now been broken.
Sin is a slippery
slope and will eventually catch up with
you. One sin leads to
another, and another,
like lie upon lie and
it gets easier each
time. You cannot have
peace with God when
your conscience is constantly eating away at
you. Repentance is the
brake pedal that stops
it.
If you ever find yourself wasting away, remember this fact: no
matter what you have
done in this life, in
thirty seconds you can
be righteous before
God, washed as white
as snow, and start
over with a fresh slate.
What is lost can be
restored. That which
is broken, can be repaired.
Pray this and mean
it: “Lord forgive me
for what I have done.
Jesus come into my life
and be My Lord and
Savior from this day
on.” He will take care
of the details. Keep a
short list with God, be
quick to repent and
don’t get caught in an
endless loop while your
life wastes away.

No Shots No School--students must be current with immunizations to attend
It is time for families
to start updating their immunizations in order to be
prepared to return to school
for the 2016-17 school year
in August. Some students
may not have the requisite
number of shots and not
know it due to the state
increasing the number of

who come to school on the
first day of classes and don’t
have up-to-date shots will
have to wait in the school
office for their parents to
pick them up and take them
to get their shots.
University Health System is offering a convenient
way for parents to immunize their children. They
will dispatch a mobile clinic
