On Wednesday, December 23, the Waller County
Commissioners Court met at 9 a.m. in regular session at the Waller County Courthouse. Commissioners
Russell Klecka, John Amsler, and Jeron Barnett were
present and Waller County Judge Trey Duhon presided.
Commissioner Justin Beckendorff was ill and unable
to attend.
During public comments, resident LaVaughn Mosley again urged the resignation of Sheriff Glenn Smith,
and stated that due to a lack of a resignation he has
started the process of encouraging Prairie View A&M
students to boycott Hempstead.
Several residents also addressed commissioners
to express their disappointment and grave concerns on
the reduction of early voting locations to two, as approved by commissioners on December 16.
Democratic Party Chair Ben Tibbs apologized for
his prior recommendations, stating that he did not see

Under the direction of Texas General Land
Office Commissioner, George P. Bush, the state
recently acquired three historic buildings close to
the Alamo--the Woolworth, Crockett, and Plaza
Buildings. The announcement of the purchases
came several weeks after the General Land Office
entered an agreement with the City of San Antonio to implement improvements to the Alamo Historic District and the Alamo Complex. With the
purchase, the General Land Office has initiated a
project entitled the Alamo Plaza Restoration Project, with a goal to enhance the visitor’s pilgrimage
to the world-renowned “Cradle of Texas Liberty.”
The plan is to turn the Alamo Plaza into a
world-class historic site as big and bold as Texas
itself. As a centerpiece of pride for the city, state,

Sgt. Michael Bellard and Officer Aprial
Manuel joined forces in an effort to collect toys and donations for the children of
a woman killed in a local traffic accident.
The Waller Police Department event to
present the collection to the children was
held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 22 at
the Waller Civic Center and was attended
by Mayor Pro Tem Sidney Johnson and
council member Edna Eaton.
On Tuesday, December 22, the WPD held an event at 1 p.m. at the Waller Civic
Center to give gifts to the children of a female fatality victim involved in a local
traffic accident. Pictured (l-r) is Waller Police Department Captain Michael Williams and Sgt. Michael Bellard, along with the children receiving the donations.

the consequences of the reduction of polling places.
Commissioners also acknowledged their mistake in approving the reduction. Both party chairs, in order to
simplify voting, had recommended the change to only
two early voting locations for the March 1 primaries at
the December 16 meeting of the commissioners court,
which was unanimously approved.
Election Administrator, Dan Teed, expressed his
misgivings about the party chairs’ proposal at the last
meeting, and asked commissioners to approve his prior
recommendation. Teed’s recommendation was subsequently unanimously approved by the court, naming the Waller County Courthouse as the main early
voting polling place, with branch early voting at the
Brookshire Waller County Library, and the Waller ISD
Administration Building. Additional early branch voting locations include: Fieldstore County Building, St.
Francis Episcopal Church, Prairie View, Monaville JP
3 Building, and Katy VFW Hall.
Commissioners voted down a request by the Coun-
ty Auditor, Alan Younts, to take action to amend the
2015 budget to accommodate the $14,250 received
for the state supplement for the county judge. Judge
Duhon and Commissioner Barnett voted in favor of the
action, and Commissioners Amsler and Klecka were
opposed.
County Auditor Alan Younts stated that the item
was just cleaning up the budget since these funds were
not on the radar when the 2015 budget was developed,
and that the amount is already in the budget for next
year. Younts stated that if no amendment was made in
this matter by the end of the year, the negative funds in
the Judge’s budget would trigger an audit by the state.
Commissioner Klecka stated that he wanted more
information about the money and it’s use before he
could vote “for” to amend the budget to accommodate
the $14,250.
A special session has been scheduled for Tuesday,
December 29, at 9 a.m. at the Waller County Courthouse to discuss the proposed budget amendment.

last 45 days. During construction, that
portion of Waller St. will be closed and
citizens will have to find alternate routes.
In other action, council unanimously
passed Ordinance #486, which adopted
changes in the building codes that govern
construction in the City of Waller. According to Superintendent of Public Works,
Gene Schmidt, the city is currently under
a 2003 Building Code. Council adopted
the 2012 International Code for building,
residential, mechanical, plumbing, fire,
fuel gas, existing building, swimming
pool and spa, and property maintenance.
Also adopted was the NFPA 101 Life
Safety Code, 2009 International Energy
Code, and the 2011 National Electrical
Code.
Council also approved moving forward with a new City of Waller website
design, allowing it to be mobile friendly,
and adapt to all screen sizes. The new design is slated to be more contemporary,
and will be coded to the MODx content
management system that the city recently
upgraded to, which makes it easy for city
staff to make edits, and is also very secure.
During staff reports Captain Michael
Williams of the Waller Police Department
stated that Operation Holiday is going
well, and that officers have logged over
200 visits to local stores in an effort to
reduce holiday thefts. Captain Williams
added that Waller Police Department’s

On Monday, December 21, the
Waller City Council met in regular session at 7 p.m. at the Waller Civic Center.
Mayor Danny Marburger presided over
the meeting also attended by Mayor ProTem Sidney Johnson, and council members Edna Eaton, Nancy Arnold, Dwayne
Hajek, and Mike McCormick.
Council unanimously approved to
accept the bid received from Wakefield
Bridges for the demolition and reconstruction of the Waller Street Bridge in
the amount of $148,100. City Engineer
David Leyendecker recommended approval of the bid. Other costs associated
with the bridge project include $14,810
for contingencies, $7,405 for contract bid
and project management, $810 for surveying, and $2,962 for inspection, bringing the total cost to $174,087. Contingency may not be needed or spent, according
to Leyendecker, but needs to be included
in case of unforeseen costs. The project
also includes construction of a sidewalk
on the south side of the bridge for pedestrians.
Mayor Marburger stated that the
city still has $100,000 remaining in the
bond issue slated for streets and drainage,
which can be used for the bridge project,
and the rest will be paid out of the city
budget. The project is slated to begin
sometime in January, and is expected to

and nation, the project hopes to increase tourism
to San Antonio four-fold.
Dubbed “A Star Reborn”, the revitalized plaza will have a Texas History Center that includes a
world-class multimedia center with three theaters,
a state-of-the-art historical/educational outreach
center, and five primary foundational museum
presentations on Texas history that include: the
history of Alamo Plaza, the history of the Texas
Revolution, David Crockett and Frontier Expansion, the Spanish Legacy and El Camino Real de
los Tejas, and the popular culture of the Alamo.
In addition, the renovated complex will include an Historical Journey Network Center
(Visitor’s Information Center) and advanced media center, highlighting local and regional cultural

Waller Wonders – On the road again …
By Nancy Arnold
T
ime to dust off
our party hats and
noisemakers so we
can welcome in
our new year. Yep,
2016 is rolling in on Friday. That’s
maybe good news for some, and
not so good news for others. Obviously for the oil industry, there’s
precious little good news, what
with oil at somewhere between
$34-37 on any given day.
On the other hand, that same
source of bad news is good news for
consumers, at least those traveling
over the holidays. Gas prices in this
area were around $1.55-1.60, which
encouraged people to hit the roads.
Talking about travel, I ran
across a list – a rather extensive
list – of towns in Texas that might
have fit the holiday mood. (Don’t
worry – I won’t list them all.) I’ll
let you pull out your atlas and find
out where these places are. For
instance, there’s Happy, Smiley,
Friendship, and of course, Sweet
Home – all very appropriate for
holiday visits, don’t you think?
When do we leave? Well,
there’s Sunrise, Sunset, and Sundown, so take your pick, and maybe
we’ll even see a Rainbow.
Food is an important element
of holiday visits, and Texas has all
kinds of choices. For breakfast we
have Bacon and Oatmeal. As the
day progresses, we can enjoy Turkey or Trout, with a side of Rice,
or maybe a Noodle or two. A holiday meal isn’t complete without
something sweet, so reckon we
could find something to satisfy that
craving in Sugar Land? We could,
of course, just wash our meal down
with Sweetwater … never tried it,
but we could always dunk a couple
of tea bags in it to flavor it up a bit.
Texas is a pretty big state – we
could tuck several states or foreign
countries within our borders with
room to spare. But let’s say we
have an itch to travel. To make it
easier for your atlas search, I’ll run
this down alphabetically: Atlanta;
Buffalo; Detroit; Colorado City;
Denver City; Klondike; Nevada;
Memphis; Miami; Boston; Santa
Fe; Tennessee Colony, and Reno.
That’s just domestic names.
Now for some international
travel, still within our state borders:
Athens; Canadian; China; Dublin;
Egypt; Ireland; Turkey; London;
New London; Paris, and Holland.
While we don’t have a Washington D.C. in Texas, we have
Washington-on-the-Brazos
and
there’s always Whitehouse.
Let’s say we’re in for some interplantetary travel. We can do that,
too, by traveling to Venus, or we
could stay here and enjoy Earth.
History and holidays team up
well, so how about trips to Santa
Ana; Goliad; and Alamo (not “the,”
just Alamo, located in Hidalgo
County in the Rio Grande Valley).
The kids get bored on road trips
(maybe not so much now with all the
hand-held digital devices), but just
in case, you can point out Kermit;
Elmo; Nemo; Tarzan, and Sylvester.
The adults in the vehicle might
be amused by Frognot; Bigfoot;
Hogeye, and Notrees. Interesting
story about that town. The community is 20 miles north of Odessa,
and the site of oil drilling activity,
of course. Sporting a couple of different names back in the day, the
community boasted one tree. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the
construction of a Shell gas plant.
Thus the name, Notrees.
Some names beg for further
research. For instance, there’s Dime
Box and Old Dime Box, both with
the same ZIP code. Best and Veri-
best might seem like rival cities, but
no. Veribest was originally named
Mullins, but the U.S. Postal Service
wouldn’t put a post office in the town
because there was already a Mullins,
Texas. So, the mayor approached a
young lady in the grocery store and
asked her what she thought the name
should be. She spied a jar of pickles
on the shelf with the name Veribest
… and there you have it.
All this traveling has made
me hungry, so I think I’ll stop for
a Ding Dong. That delightfullynamed town is eight miles south
of Killeen in Bell County. Alas, the
history of the name does not involve snack food. Two of the early
settlers in the town, both named
Bell, opened a general store. They
hired an artist to paint a sign for
the store, which naturally depicted
two bells (or Bells). Perhaps with a
bit of whimsy, the artist tagged one
bell “Ding” and the other “Dong,”
and thus the name of the town.
This is a good opportunity
to tell you a bit about how Waller
came to be named. There is no funny story, nothing weird. Perhaps the
only weird thing is that Waller sits
astraddle the Waller-Harris County
lines, which does present some
problems to citizens. K.H. Faulkner
filed a plat on January 11, 1884 to
establish the town, which, like the
county, is named for Edwin Waller.
Edwin Waller, born in 1800,
was an entrepreneur, signer of the
Texas Declaration of Independence,
the first mayor of Austin, Texas, and
the designer of its downtown grid
plan. That tells you that we have a
pretty strong pedigree.
About a month after the town
plat was filed, the post office was set
up and the first general store opened.
The public school was organized in
1887, and by the end of its first year
of operation had eighty students.
The town boundaries were established in 1889 when Waller was actually laid out. By 1897, there was
a population of about 500, with an
established newspaper and a bank.
In 1898, the South Texas Baptist College was established by the
South Texas Baptist Conference.
Unfortunately the 1900 Galveston
hurricane badly damaged the college and it never reopened.
Telephone service was installed in 1912, and the Guaranty
Bond State Bank (now Wells Fargo) opened in 1915.
Waller was incorporated in
1947, and Jim Haney became the
first mayor. Population was 712 in
1950; today’s population is just shy
of 2,500 and growing.
Now you know a little bit more
about our community. While we
don’t have a name quite as exciting as Cut ’n’ Shoot, or Hoop and
Holler, we do have a solid community, with great schools, and even
greater citizens.
Happy January birthdays to Tim
Taylor, Carter Haynes, Vera Clute,

Congress gives the American people coal in their stocking
By Carrie Prazak-Gourley
On December 18, Congress
1206 Smith St., Waller, TX 77484
Sunday School - 9:45 am
Common Ground - 11:00 am
(a Spirited Traditional)
www.wallerumc.org
approved a massive omnibus budget bill containing a whopping
$1.1 trillion for funding the entire
government for the remainder of
fiscal year 2016. New speaker of
the House, Paul Ryan, followed
in former Speaker John Boehner’s
footsteps into funding policies
opposed by the majority of the
American people.
Despite the rising national
debt, slated to reach $19 trillion
this year, not one dime was cut
from the budget, instead spending increased across the board.
Both political parties are to blame
for this monstrous budget, which
Carrying Christ
into our community
with a strong faith!
936-372-3907
dumps another half trillion dollars
in debt on Americans’ heads right
out of the gate.
To add insult to injury, our
own U.S. Representative, Michael
McCaul, along with Texas Senator
John Cornyn, supported the bill.
Only Senator Ted Cruz, the antiestablishment presidential candidate, opposed it.
The 2009 page bill passed the
House 316 to 113 and is a $1.149
trillion grab bag of special interest giveaways, liberal victories,
and conservative concessions that
most members likely did not have
time to read.
The bill fully funds DACA
(deferred action for childhood
arrivals), which will continue to
churn out work permits and federal
benefits to hundreds of thousands
of illegal immigrants. Sanctuary
cities are also not barred from
receiving federal grants, despite
their refusal to follow federal immigration laws. Sanctuary cities
release criminal illegal aliens back
into the population, resulting in
many deaths, including the tragic
death of Kate Steinle in broad
daylight, gunned down by a fivetime criminal alien, released by
the San Francisco Police Department, in violation of federal law.
Since the budget has no restrictions on sanctuary cities, countless
numbers of criminal aliens will be
released into the population, able
to continue to wreak havoc on the
American people.
In addition, the bill will fund
the admission of tens of thousands
of refugees with access to federal
benefits and will allow multiple
immigrant and visa programs exploited by terrorists such as the “I1” “student” visas (Boston bombers) and the “K-1” “fiancee” visas
(San Bernardino) to continue.
The bill also allows for admission
of hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries with jihadists movements. No additional assurances were made in the vetting
of refugees for the safety of the
American people.
Americans will still pay for
the majority of abortions through
their taxes, since Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of
abortions, is fully funded, despite
disturbing videos showing the organization haggling over the price
of body parts of aborted babies.
During a time when the United
States has the highest number ever
of citizens out of the workforce,
the bill quadruples the H-2B foreign worker visas. This so that U.S.
companies like Disney can hire
foreign workers at cheaper prices
and force the American workers to
train their replacements.
Unpopular regulations, such
as the EPA’s Waters of the United

States, is also funded, as is what
amounts to a bailout of the International Monetary Fund, by increasing the U.S. quota to $3.1 billion.
$3.1 billion is added to the budget for the president’s new International Global Climate Change
Initiative, which will be given to
third world countries to promote
“sound climate policies”.
Congress also snuck into the
omnibus a Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, which was
opposed by many in both parties.
Senator Ron Wyden, (D-Ore.)
said this about the act, “Americans deserve policies that protect
both their liberty and their security. This bill fails on both counts.”
Out of all the negatives to the
budget, one positive note is that
the 40 year ban on light crude exports was lifted, which hopefully
will generate more jobs for Americans. But, at the same time, more
spending was incurred by extending the wind and solar tax credits
for another five years.
Numerous tax credits, due
to expire, were extended in the
budget, and the moratorium on
Obamacare’s medical device tax
and the insurance policy cadillac
tax were both put on hold (which
is a win for the unions).
One lonely high mark in the
omnibus bill is that it included
an agreement by both parties
to restore rational budgeting on
Capitol Hill, ending the recurring
artificial brinkmanship which
yearly drives Congress to accept
bad deals. Hopefully, that comes
to fruition.
Without a doubt, Congress
sold the American people down
the river with this bill, one of
the most irresponsible pieces of
legislation ever passed. Again,
Congress ignores our immigration laws, fails to fund a border
fence for our national security,
and totally disregards the negative consequences of an ever rising national debt--projected to be
near $20 trillion when President
Obama leaves office in 2017, doubling the debt left by G.W. Bush
and his predecessors.
Many ignore the fact that
our economy has never recovered
from the 2008 recession. Our
GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
growth remains at around 2%,
and although unemployment
numbers are lower, the millions
that have quit looking for work
are not included in the unemployment number. If the holders
of our national debt were to flee,
the economy would face a downturn unlike any yet experienced in
American history.
Yet Congress continues to
listen to special interests, and both
parties prove that they believe in
“big government”, which continually diminishes the rights of the
states and of the people.
So Happy New Year America. Your government is continuing
to irresponsibly support the status
quo, not addressing the serious
issues affecting the American
people. It seems history repeats
itself--”Nero fiddles while Rome
burns.”
A pox on both their houses.

Congratulations to Waller Junior High School eighth-grade

of the UIL Region 27 All-Region Junior High Band. Students from Brenham, Cy-Fair,
Spring Branch and Waller ISD
auditioned for a place in one of
three UIL Region 27 All-Region
Junior High Bands. Rodriguez
competed against approximately 160 other trumpet players,
and placed 15th which earned
him a spot in the All-Region
band. Rodriguez will perform
with this elite group of musicians on Saturday, December
5 at Cy-Falls High School. Pictured is Waller Junior High
