Twining & Vining Around!
Look for interesting places
to use vines. There are many
that do well in our Texas Hill
Country climate and soil.
Some grow up trees, but don’t
become too intrusive, and others do great on wall, fences, or
trellises.

glories, and moon vines.
Other vines hold themselves
up by tendrils, such as grape
vines and pole beans. Fig vines,
English ivy, Boston ivy, trumpet vines, and Virginia creeper
are all vines that use modified,
clinging air roots to support
themselves on walls. All of
these will peel a bit of stucco or
paint off of their support, and
they can grow into crevices
and on into your home, given
time. English ivy, in particular,
can grow up a tree, and keep
growing until it covers and
kills the tree by shading and
girdling it to death.
Personal Plant of the
Week. Evergreen wisteria
(Millettia reticulata) is an
underused vine that has all the
good traits of wisteria without
its detrimental ones. It flowers
in late summer and early fall
with dark purple to magenta
flowers that bloom in clusters.
The foliage is a beautiful, dark,
leathery green, and unlike
old wisteria, it is not deciduous, and it has a more refined
growth and texture.
Chores for this week.
• Weed, deadhead, and
mulch along.
• Control insect and fungal problems; watch for spider
mite infestations.
• Watch for brown patch
in your St. Augustine. Limit
watering to control, and use
Neem Oil spray if you’re
already infected.
• Start fall planting for the
beds you’ve been preparing.
• Keep spraying soil activator and seaweed to improve
soil and toughen it up for winter.

Texas Clematis
Texas Clematis (Clematis
texensis) is a favorite native
that thrives being planted
at the base of a tree. It will
support itself on the bark of
the tree and climb up. It can
take sun or part shade, but
the roots need to be in shade
or be heavily mulched. The
vine has interesting, pitchershaped, scarlet blooms.
The purple variety is called
Clematis pitchereri, and there
are several varieties available
of each of these. They are both
delicate vines that don’t “outgrow” their assigned places,
and they are both easy to
maintain. The vines will grow
about six to ten feet in a season. They are drought tolerant
and deer resistant, and bloom
off and on all summer. They
freeze back all the way to the
ground, but they come back a
little faster and stronger every
year. This is an example of a
rambling vine, as is the potato
vine and many of rambling or
climbing roses.
Passion vines come in lots
of varieties from a white with
purple trim to purple to red.
These are fast growing, once
established. They freeze back
in hard winters. They bloom
all summer long, and they produce edible fruit. The flower is
spectacular with a 3-4 inch
diameter, and the foliage is a
pretty, dark green that covers
a fence or trellis. These are fast
growers and can grow up to
ninety feet of vine with ample
water. These, too, are deer
and drought resistant. They
will come up here and there if
your soil is reasonably good.
A native variety in our area
for the Passion vine is called
the “Birdwing” Passion Vine.
It’s tiny flowers are just like
the larger flowers, but these
are only about a half-inch in
diameter. This is an example
of a twining vine, along with
evergreen wisteria, morning

Texas Tales
If Hubert Harvey hadn’t
fatally stabbed that young
Austin man on Halloween
night in 1916, he might have
lived to see the fine new Texas
Highway Department building go up where the Travis
County Jail once stood.
But that’s not how it
worked out. At 1:50 p.m. on
Aug. 23, 1918 Sheriff George
Matthews sprang the trap on
the gallows inside the jail and
Harvey paid for his crime at
the end of a rope.
Harvey, 34, had the distinction of being the last of
nine men legally hanged in
the castle-like stone jail, built
for $100,000 in 1876 at the
corner of 11th and Brazos
streets — present location of
the Dewitt C. Greer Building,
headquarters of what is now
the Texas Department of
Transportation.
Who
knows?
Maybe
Harvey’s spirit has something
to do with the mysterious
footsteps and strange noises some TxDOT employees
have reported hearing at
night when the
building’s supby Mike Cox posedly empty.
But for anyone
who believes in ghosts, there
are plenty of suspects.
John Wesley Hardin, Texas’
deadliest 19th century outlaw,
cooled his heels in the stillnew jail until his transfer to
the state prison in Huntsville.
John Ringo, another famous
outlaw, did some time in the
Travis County slammer before
moving west to Arizona.
A more genteel inmate
was William Sydney Porter,
a popular young man with
a penchant for puns, pilsner
and games of chance. Later
known world-wide as O.
Henry, the short story writer
got to reflect on the literary
life for a while after being
booked on a federal bank
embezzlement rap in 1898.
Until 1923, under state law,
the sheriff of the county in
which the condemned person
had been convicted bore the
responsibility of carrying out
an execution. After that time,
executions were by electrocution at the state prison in
Huntsville.
For the superstitious, these
are the other potential Greer
Building “haints”:
• Taylor Ake, 18, hanged
for rape, Aug. 22, 1879.
• Ed Nichols, 21, hanged
for rape, Jan. 12, 1894.
• William Eugene Burt,
hanged May 27, 1898, for
killing his wife and two children. Police found their bodies in a cistern at 207 E. 9th
St.
• Sam Watrus, 30, hanged
Jan. 27, 1899, for murder,
rape and robbery.
• Jim Davidson, 30, hanged
Nov. 24, 1899, for murder,
rape and robbery.
• Henry Williams, 30,
hanged May 2, 1904, for murder and rape.
• John Henry, hanged July
12, 1912, for murder.
• Henry Brook, hanged May
30, 1913, for murder.
While none of these men
ever had to worry about the
infirmities associated with the
passage of time, by the late
1920s, the jail had begun to
show its age. And so had the
adjacent county courthouse
at 11th and Congress. When
Travis County officials decid-
ed to construct a new courthouse at 11th and Guadalupe
in 1930, the plans included
a larger, state-of-the-art jail
on the top floor of the new
building.
The highway department,
crammed in a state office
building across the street from
the old jail, saw the impending move as an opportunity to
get land for a new headquarters. Negotiations soon began
with Travis County to buy the
property.
“We wish to renew our recommendation that the State
Highway Commission be
permitted to erect a building
to house the State Highway
Department in Austin,” read
the fifth of nine recommendations made in the department’s
seventh biennial report. “Such
a building,” the 1930 report
continued, should include “a
laboratory, research department, and ample other space
for carrying on its activities,
now and in the future.”
Despite the transportation
agency’s interest in the jail
property, some Austinites
suggested the old jail should
be remodeled and transformed
into a public library named in

trumped preservation, and the
state razed the old jail. The

in training at Camp Mabry to
do the job.
At a cost of $455,151.74,
the new building opened
in the summer of 1933 —
only three years after it was

nearly another 20 years went
by before the agency got
around to installing air conditioning. That cost $170,642

The building has seen various rennovations since then,

is not one of them.
I guess it won’t be long
before our big brother decides
to pass a law against forest
fires, or pollen, or the virus that

will be expected to duly comply, or else.
You have to admit, however, that the EPA has a precedent when it comes to defying

already managed to circumvent the law of gravity. So
there’s no use applying for a
job with the EPA if you have

Plummeting bat populations impact agriculture...
Scientists are seeing a rapid
decline in bat populations, particularly in the Northeastern
United States, with some populations nearly disappearing
completely. While some may
celebrate their demise, agricultural producers note the service
that bats provide by protecting
crops from hungry insects.
Bats prey on night-flying
insects and feast on bugs like
corn earworm moths, cotton
bollworms and mosquitoes. As
caterpillars, these insects can
devastate crop yields. In fact,
a 2006 study in South-Central
Texas found that the local bat
population saved farmers more
than $740,000 per year in pest
control service.
However, large populations
of bats are disappearing rapidly due to a harmful fungus, known as the White-Nose
Syndrome. When bats are
exposed to the fungus, it can
disrupt their hibernation patterns and force them to draw
on their fat reserves – ultimately leading to starvation.
“The disease is absolutely
devastating, it’s unprecedented,” Mylea Bayless, a biologist with Austin-based Bat
ACROSS

Prime time to invest in
agriculture...
With prices rising and supply getting tighter, financial
analysts are saying now is
the time to invest in small
or microcap agricultural firms
that are profitable, growing
and undervalued.
“We are entering into what
appears to be the best season to be invested in companies involved in the agricultural sector,” said Joseph
R. Dancy, adjunct law professor at Southern Methodist
University and manager of the
LSGI Venture Fund L.P.
Dancy points to current
industry trends and suggests
investors look at mergers
and acquisitions of agricultural companies for long-term
growth.
“Recent agricultural reports
from the USDA have been
very positive for investors and
represent a great long term
investment theme,” he said.

Texas drivers, especially at
night. The Texas Department
of Transportation (TxDOT)
reported more than 7,000 animal-related car accidents on
Texas highways last year, and
25 of those accidents resulted
in fatalities.
“Deer-vehicle collisions
increase during the fall because
animals are more active,” said
Carol Rawson, traffic operations director for TxDOT. “It’s
the time of year that motorists
need to be extra watchful and
take steps to avoid collisions.”
Nationwide, deer-car accidents have led to 1.5 million
crashes and approximately
$1.1 billion in vehicle damage, according to the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety
(IIHS).
To avoid hitting a deer, the
IIHS recommends the following guidelines:
· Drive carefully in areas
known to have high deer populations.
· If you see a deer, slow
down.
· Use high-beam headlights
when there is no oncoming
traffic.
· If a deer is in your lane,
brake firmly but stay in the
lane.
· Don’t rely on deer whistles, deer fences or reflectors
to deter deer.
• Wear seat belts.
If your car strikes a deer,
don’t touch the animal. Call
the police if the animal is in the
roadway.

JV football team wins over Ozona
by Coaches RK and
McAdams
On Thursday evening, the
Junction Eagle junior varsity
football team traveled to Lion
Stadium in Ozona. This was
the second district ball game
of the year. The Eagle’s record
going in was 1-0 in district and
6-1 overall.
In the first half both teams’
defenses held the opposing
offenses to zero points.
The Eagle offense, however,
was able to win the field position battle by pinning the Lions
on their own 6 yard line after a
great pooch punt of 29 yards by
Aurelio Hernandez late in the
second quarter. Then William
Eckert, Reese Sawyer, Austin
Rivas, and the rest of the Eagle
defense held Ozona to a threeand-out offensive series. This
forced the Lions to punt. On
the punt, Caleb Tabbert was
able to break through and block
the punt into the Lions end
zone. There Jairo Dominguez
jumped on the ball for a touchdown and a 6-0 Junction lead.
Through the first seven minutes of the third quarter both
defenses continued to play
tough. However, Junction was
able to find the end zone on a
double lead play to the strong
side of the offensive line from
one yard out. Walker Weaver
scored the touchdown, and
Austin Rivas added a two point
conversion to bring the score
to 14-0. The Lions’ ensuing
possession ended on a fourth
down turnover on a bad snap
to their punter.
The Eagles took over
at Ozona’s five yard line.
Then on the first play of the
series and the fourth quarter,
Justus Young scored the third
touchdown of the night. The
momentum was all Eagles at
this point. Cornerback Garrett
Murff picked off a quarterback
pass, and the next offensive
play for the Eagles went forty
one yards. The ball was carried
by Weaver behind the blocking
of Johnny Richardson, Henry
Whitworth, and Victor Reyes.
The last Junction score came
after Juan Perez ran the ball
five consecutive times for a
total of 48 yards rushing and a
touchdown.
On the night, the Eagles had
a total of 291 on offensive.
Weaver led the way with 161
yards rushing. Defensively, the
Eagles held Ozona to just two
first downs and a total of minus
27 yards. This was Junction’s
fifth shut out of the season.
Final Score: Junction 34

Red Ribbon Week to be
held October 25-29
by Kaycie Sullivan
Philip Leach, looking all wet, gets ready to be dunked again at the annual London Fair on
the Square held on Saturday, October 16.
Observations
from the
Rough
by Chip Divit
Hello everyone, this is my
first attempt at writing about
golf. If you notice or feel that
it’s just absolutely intolerable
– well, so is my approach
shot, my putting and my reaction to criticism. The responsible party, and a wonderful
listener, is my lifelong friend
and your Pro: Andy McPhail.
Andy, his brother, Joe (Joe
was considerably older than
Andy and I, and boy it’s sure
showing on him) and I grew
up in Houston.
Fortunately, I spent many
memorable autumns on a
deer lease just southwest of
Junction and some great summer afternoons lounging in
Cedar Creek – there’s a little
bit of Kimble County in my
veins.
The members of the Golf
Association and all Junction
Eagle readers want to express
their sincere gratitude and
well wishes to Ruth James for
her wonderful reporting and
contributions to the golfing
community. Ruth and her husband, Buckshot, participated
in the Junction Golf Club
from its inception. Ruth is
moving to Plano to be closer
to her children. Ruth, you will
be missed. Godspeed.
This past Thursday’s scramble was a good one. It was
won by the team of Kenny
Smart, James Tinney and Matt
Willmon, with a score of six
under par. Stanley Graham
was closest to the pin (fourteen feet), on the ninth hole,
a par three. A reminder that
there will be a two-person
tournament on November the
sixth. Fourteen teams have
signed-up to date. Also, there
will be a raffle for a one year
free membership.
Poa trivialis (rough-stalk
bluegrass) is a stoloniferous, cold season turf grass
used extensively on courses
through-out the South and
Southwest to improve winter greens conditions. Jason
Keller of Delaware Springs
Golf Course in Burnet was
nice enough to order in some
extra seed so that, member,
Mick Casaday could put in a
considerable amount of time
and physical exertion assisting Andy with the seeding
of the greens. After a very
interesting discussion about
ratios, calibration, sand and
the wind, the seed got down
– thanks, Mick. The seed has
germinated and is coming up
nicely. Now Andy can relax
and permanently remove the
grass stains from the tip of his
nose.
If you don’t mind, a note
on another fellow Houstonian
and golfer: Jackie Burke.
Jackie was a Ryder Cup player
and captain and a Masters and
PGA Championship winner.
I heard a lot about him as a
kid and watched old newsreel
footage of him playing; he had
a heck of a swing, fluid and
seemingly effortless.
However, most golfers
struggle with “the swing”:
buying cd’s, attending seminars, seeking-out gurus, purchasing contraptions that look
like something conceived by
NASA or make pilgrimages
to Scotland to collect dirt.
I have done none of these
things, and it’s really hurt my
game, and Golf Association
Vice President Jay Williams;
I winged him with my recent
approach shot on number Nine
- he was collecting lost balls in
the nearby prickly pear. You
know, I really resent folks that
make excuses for bad shots.
Yet, Kenny, did shout in the
middle of my swing, “Hey
Andy, where’s the skunk?”
What I’m getting at is- you
don’t have to go to Scotland.
As I watched Andy tee-off on
number nine - he sure looked
a lot like Jackie Burke.
Jay, the thoughts and
prayers of the Junction golfing community are with you
and your family.
What is Red Ribbon Week?
Red Ribbon Week began after the kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) Agent Enrique “Kiki”
Camarena in 1985. Agent Camarena had
been successfully working undercover in
Guadalajara, Mexico. The dramatic events
that followed Agent Camarena’s disappearance were chronicled in national media. They
exposed the dark world of drug trafficking
including how far drug traffickers would go
to maintain power and control.
In 1988, Red Ribbon Week was recognized nationally with President Ronald and
First Lady Nancy Reagan serving as the first
Honorary Chairs. Today, the Red Ribbon
Week brings millions of people together to
raise awareness regarding the need for alcohol, tobacco and other drug and violence
prevention, early intervention, and treatment
services. It is the largest, most visible prevention awareness campaign observed annually
in the United States.
As a community member, it is important for
you to understand that Red Ribbon Week will
not - nor is it intended to - fix the drug problem in America. There is no single approach
to prevention that can eliminate a problem so
complex.
Red Ribbon Week is not a prevention or
early intervention program. It is an awareness
campaign observed annually the last full week
in October. We regard Red Ribbon Week as
the kick off to a year of prevention in our
schools and in our communities. The best Red
Ribbon Week efforts highlight and support
continuing prevention, early intervention and
treatment programs and services occurring on
and off campus throughout the year.
Red Ribbon Week is also a CALL TO
ACTION! This week-long campaign provides
multiple opportunities for students, parents,
teachers and others to join together to address
the alcohol, tobacco, other drug and violence
related issues or concerns in their community.
Red Ribbon Week is Drug Awareness
Week.
Wear a red ribbon, show your support, and
get discounts! Ribbons may be picked up at
Super S or the Chamber of Commerce office.
The week of October 25 – October 29 is Red
Ribbon Week at Junction ISD. As community
members we are role models for the children
in our community. Please show support by
Page 15
wearing your red ribbon every day during red
ribbon week. Wearing your red ribbon shows
our children that you are against drugs. We
can work together to help our children grow
into good, law abiding, drug free citizens.
You must be wearing your red ribbon to
receive discounts!

2010 Health Fair; big success
submitted
Over 350 people attended
the health fair that was held
at the Stevenson Center on
Thursday, October 14. The
health fair was sponsored by
Kimble Hospital, Hill Country
Care Center, The Senior
Center, and the Wesley Nurse
Health Care Ministries.
Thirty-nine vendors sat
up booths offering a variety
of health and safety related
information and handouts.
Participants from Kerrville,
San Angelo, Fredericksburg,
Brady, Sonora, Johnson City,
Lubbock, Midland, and San
Antonio joined our several
local Kimble County vendors: Kimble Hospital with
flu vaccine, Junction Medical
Clinic on stroke awareness,
Hill Country Care Center
with information and oxygen
saturation checks, Junction
Police Department on safety
and protection, MKM home
health with blood pressure
checks, Heritage Program
on stress/depression information, Dr. Whitworth and
Becky Johnson on dental care
and foot care, Wesley Nurse
Program on dehydration prevention and blood pressure
checks, Kimble Hospital infection control on fighting germs,
Kimble Hospital Dietary
Department on healthy eating
habits, Kimble Hospital physical therapy on effective stretch
exercises, Kimble Hospital
on fire safety, Senior Center
for Lifeline, PEC on safety,
Kimble Hospital Foundation
information, Nurses for
Kimble County, and K-Star.
Our community had the
opportunity to participate in
the event and to gain lots of
information and fellowship.
Helicopters from Shannon
Air Med 1 and San Antonio
Airlife were available for tours
and our local EMS had the
ambulance open for viewing.

Whew! One more time it
is over. There was a slightly
smaller turnout from vendors
and participants, but it was still
a great fair and barbeque benefit for the fire department. As
always, the food was great –
Chief Vernon cooked all night
this year at his home, rather
than at Mama Jo’s house. He
was joined there by his crew
of helpers, wife Reba, Wayne
and Georgette Robbins, Philip
Leach, Henry Davis, Junior
and friend Karen, Jo and Henry
Davis, Phyllis Davis and friend
Deona (hope I spelled that correctly!), and Darla and Russell
Thompson.
Friday, Brenda McCollum,
Nancy Wright, Mozelle
Neville, Nita Hight and I
assembled the mountains of
potato salad, and Sheri Ivy did
her magic in preparing the tons
of slaw dressing. Many thanks
go to Kimble Processing for
providing the briskets at their
cost, to Isaacks’s Restaurant
for providing the slaw ingredients, and to Billy Ivy for
providing some of the other
supplies. Everyone took home
beans to cook, and some
were sent to Opal Childress
and Darlene Hardesty, as
and oxygen level checks but
also information on family violence, blood and tissue
donation, hospice care, fire
safety, home health, senior living, mental health, state health
services, handwashing and
the “germ detector”, physical therapy, alcohol and drug
abuse, poison control, light
safety, Lifeline, adult protective services and much more.
Kimble Hospital reported 253
flu vaccinations were given to
citizens by staff nurses.
Vendors donated door
prizes and well as local businesses: The Milky Way, Dairy
Queen, Sonic, Family Dollar
Store, Super S and Plumleys
Pecan Shop. Designs by Darla
donated balloons. Thank you
to Pam Fieldcamp who served
as MC and to Ed Stewart who
let us use the sound system
once again.
Several prizes were given
away throughout the day and
also those attending had a
chance to win donated coupons from local businesses
well. They were all good and
remarkably similar in taste and
texture for so many cooks to
have been involved.
Saturday was a crisp fall
day – just right for dunking
the Sheriff and Philip Leach
numerous times. They were
good sports and responded
to the hecklers with appropriate disdain. And he was
right – Sheriff Cantu said it
would be colder this year than
last, but at least it was a little windier! The cake walk,
always the big money winner for the Association, was
handled well by Garland and
Jennie O’Quinn, Andy Ivins
and Claire Black. I swear,
Andy could make it fun to
walk on hot coals! There were
more adults roping dummies
this year than there were kids.
Beverly Pucek, Bob Weitz, and
Barbara and Frank Ottis set up
by answering health questions during the event. Grand
Prize winner was Margaret
Arango, who had her prize
delivered to her front door.
Congratulations to Margaret!
Some of the day’s many
other winners were MarLea
Chapman, Crystal Jones, Alice
Schmidt, Tony Boone, Debra
Mudge, Frida Carron, Alta
Bishop, Teresa Green, Minnie
Hooker, Cheryl Simon, Hazel
Mansfield, Larry Maddux,
Wanda Evans, Judy Simon
and Kathy Rotge.
The Senior Center and
Meals on Wheels were very
helpful to the whole Health
Fair event, and they also sold
delicious chicken salad sandwich lunches. They say, “ A
big thank you to all who purchased lunches at the health
fair” because all proceeds go
to the Meals on Wheels program!
The sponsors of the health
fair encourage everyone to get
a flu shot unless contraindicated. It is very important along
with healthy habits during this
flu season.
Those who have received
the vaccine contribute to the
“community immunity” idea
and protect not only themselves, but also those who are
unable to receive it such as
children less than six months
of age, those allergic, and/or
a great spot for that action.
Richard Schiel showed off his
skills in the roping arena – who
would have guessed he is a
retired cowboy?
There were almost 200 barbeque meals served by shifts of
smiling folks – Alli Johnson,
Nancy Wright, Em Carnett,
Lynda Schiel, Judy Johnson,
Barbara Ottis, Sheri Ivy, Alice
Cardwell, and Donna Stroud.
And the SPC Club brought
piles of individually wrapped
desserts which they sold
throughout the day. So you
see, in addition to being there
all day, many of the helpers
also worked long and hard at
home.
Don’t rest yet. Now we need
to get started on the Hunter’s
Breakfast and Community
Bake Sale set for opening
day, November 6. Those of
you helping out at the Friends
of the Library Sale will have
some double duty, again. Keep
telling yourself that this is fun!
Early voting started Monday
and will continue through
October 29. You can only vote
early at the Courthouse, but
keep your schedule open on
November 2 to vote on the
“real” day.
Once again, I really appreciate all the hard work and all the
enthusiasm of everyone who
helped pull off the great Fair on
the Square and LVFD Benefit
once again. I am speaking for
the Fire Department and for
the Community Association in
this, but I am also personally
very grateful for all the great
people who continue to come
together for our community!
Keep it cool out there
between the bridges of Kimble
County.
people with a serious illness.
Events such as the health
fair increase community
awareness and this year’s success shows the interest of good
health in our community. A
special thanks to all those who
donated prizes and worked
hard to make the 2010 Health
Fair such a big success.

The TruTh
AbouT Wind
energy in
TexAs
Texans have always understood that economic growth in our State benefits all of us. That’s why we are known
as a State that’s good for business.
But as Texans, we also believe in preserving our heritage, conserving our natural resources, and defending our
individual property rights. Balancing all these priorities is always a difficult task.
As members of The Wind Coalition, we know that if a new transmission line ultimately runs across your property,
or on neighboring land, there is nothing we can say that will make that ok with you. We are property owners, too.
So it is important to know the truth about what is being proposed by our State policymakers, and why it is
necessary to build these transmission lines.
Wind energy is A signiFiCAnT sourCe oF energy in TexAs
Currently, Texas has developed over 10,000MW of wind energy. That makes Texas the largest producer of wind energy in the
nation. In fact, Texas is the 6th largest producer of wind energy in the world.
10,000MW of wind, if all utilized, would provide power to millions of Texas homes. When the CREZ transmission build-out is
completed and this natural resource is further developed, we will generate over 18,000 MW of wind energy. This summer, in arguably
the least windy months of the year, wind energy averaged over 2500MW of energy – the equivalent of an average-sized nuclear facility
or 4-5 coal plants.
We have never proposed that other sources of energy are not necessary. Nor do we claim that wind energy alone will replace all fossil
fuels. But wind energy is a significant part of our energy resource mix and has many positive attributes.
For example, the more wind energy we use, the less we emit harmful pollutants into our air. And because wind energy does not
require water to generate electricity, we will conserve over 17 billion gallons of water every year.
Are These neW TrAnsMission Lines neCessAry?
Currently, because of an inadequate transmission grid system, we are curtailing the production of wind energy from West Texas. This
means that we have the capacity to generate more of this clean, sustainable energy, but the transmission lines are inadequate, too small,
or simply don’t exist.
Our grid operator, ERCOT, is responsible for designing the transmission system and proposing where lines are needed. The Public
Utility Commission of Texas must approve any public lines that are built as part of our grid. Each has a role to play in making sure our
grid is adequate and reliable for all of us. It is not an easy task, and the decisions are frequently controversial by nature, but like umpires
in baseball, they have to call balls and strikes.
The transmission lines ultimately belong to you. They are part of the public infrastructure that allows us to grow as a State, provide
benefits for our children and communities, and power to our places of employment. Although they are sometimes referred to as “the
LCRA lines,” or the “wind energy lines,” they belong to you, just as our highway system belongs to all Texans.
TrAnsMission Lines Are noT uniQue To Wind energy
one grid, one TexAs
There is essentially one grid for most of Texas. Managed by ERCOT, it serves over 22 million Texans. It is unique to Texas. It is our
grid. It is imperative for our economic stability and growth, and it is necessary for our homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals. As we
have grown, every part of our State has been impacted so that we can all benefit from reliable electricity.
Wind energy is good for Texas. It creates jobs, supports revenue for our schools, makes our air cleaner, conserves water, and
is clean, safe and abundant.
ERCOT has determined that only one Hill Country line is necessary. The PUC will decide the ultimate route, and it will impact some
private property owners. But please understand that over 38,000 miles of transmission lines exist on the ERCOT grid today, most
crossing private land across the state.
Like you, we want to preserve the beauty of the Hill Country. Our genesis is in the environmental movement, and we believe in the
preservation of the environment and the conservation of our resources. We believe this is a fair balance of priorities, and we hope you
will understand and support developing wind energy for Texas.

When the coal companies started strip mining for coal in east Texas so we could have electricity for our homes and businesses, transmission
lines were built from the power plants across private property in East Texas through the Piney Woods.
When a nuclear power plant was built to generate electricity for our local consumers, transmission lines were built from the power
plant across private property in Central Texas.
When the big refineries all along our coast started co-generating electricity, or when natural gas plants began generating electricity
throughout the state, transmission lines carried that electricity across private property.
A great wind corridor exists (not to mention a viable solar resource) from West Texas to the Northern Plains. For this clean, sustainable
and reliable energy source, transmission lines will have to be upgraded or built across private property to reach your homes, schools,
hospitals and businesses.

Open letter to Sen. Fraser from
concerned constituents
The Honorable
Fraser:
Senator next spring.
It has become well known
by your constituents that the
As citizens and landowners wind program isn’t as green as
of Kimble County, we respect- it is touted to be.
1. The manufacture, installafully request that you cause
PUC / LCRA to cancel the tion and eventual replacement
transmission lines through of the equipment consume
material and energy-largely
Central Texas.
More, we request that you coal in China.
2. Much of this equipment
make a personal attempt to
cause the legislature to can- does not add jobs to the US
cel the whole idea of mak- since it is Chinese/Mexican,
ing Texas 20% green energy etc. (LCRA has already ordered
dependent. This must be done and received lots of steel for
before construction begins the towers from Mexico on
Mexican trucks.)
3. Each installation requires

what the people think. This is
not the way America was supposed to operate!
6. The lines and wind farms
impose a great visual impact
on those nearby, especially the
lights on all the wind generators, which can be seen for
many tens of miles. Do you
want them outside your windows?
7. The lines cause an unnecessary total clearing of a 160
ft. wide right-of-way, flat to
the dirt. All those live oaks,
pecans, etc. here in the hill
country deserve more respect
than that.
8. Speaking of respect, you,
the legislature, must show
respect to the people of Texas
and give utmost consideration
to the use of private lands.
Again, we urge that you
cancel the whole program and
start over from scratch. See if
the green energy program is
worth pursuing at all, and if so,
how to do it right the first time.
Sincerely,
John and Peggy van Moort

A landscape that gives
by Emily Neiman
Where we give ourselves
sustainable landscapes, the
landscapes give back, in ways
both easy and hard to see. They
provide natural benefits essential to daily life, like cleaning
the air and water while encouraging soil fertility. Human and
wildlife habitats are improved
while the biological diversity
attracts an array of pollinators
you know like birds, bees and
butterflies; and at the same
time animals like squirrels and
the ever curious picture taking humans. Our connection
to nature sustains us physically
and spiritually.
The Opal B. Roberts
Landscape of Hopes &
Dreams, in front of JISD, gives
our community these benefits
but even more importantly it
serves as an outdoor classroom,
free of charge, for our students.
In this place our future generations learn about life cycles,
science and math, art and culture. These lessons can often
be lost in the hustle of the mod-
ern world. All five senses are
engaged in both children and
adults when exploring the local
rain garden. The same can not
be said for watching television
or playing computer games.
If you have not visited this
vibrant space, please do and
encourage others to pay attention and have patience as it
transforms from season-to-season. This landscape made for
conservation awareness may
have a new look compared to
the traditional yard, but spend
any time in it and you will
begin to understand why our
students absolutely love it!

JMS Eagles vs Ozona Lions
by Coach Butch Lewis
The JMS Eagles took on the Ozona Lions last Thursday night
at Eagle Stadium. This was the 2nd district game against a very
good football team. Last week, our young Eagles made great
stride against the Broncos, but this week we took a step back
and didn’t perform up to our abilities.
In the first quarter, the Lions scored at will. They scored three
touchdowns and made two extra points to make the score Ozona
22 Junction 0 at the end of the 3rd quarter.
The 2nd quarter, our Eagles fared a little better as they held
Ozona to two touchdowns and one extra point. Our Eagle
offense put together a 50-yard drive then began with a 24-yard
run by Mathew Aguerro behind the blocking of Quinton
Alsobrook, Trevor Wright, Jose Salazar, Chace Tomlinson,
David Lee Modesto and Clay Dennis. This drive was capped off
by a four-yard touchdown pass from Jakob Whitworth to Clay
Dennis. The extra point was no good. The score at halftime was
Ozona 35 Junction 6.
In the 2nd half, the Lions added two touchdowns and one
extra point. The Eagles weren’t able to add any points so the
final score was Ozona 48 Junction 6.
This week the JMS Eagles will travel to Harper to play the
Longhorns.
Eagle stats:
Tackles: Salazar, 7; Aguerro, 5; Triston Salinas, 4; Asa
Plumley, 3 and Tomlinson, 3.
Rushing: Aguerro, 8 carries/34 yards; Andy Uribe, 6 carries/25 yards.
Passing: Whitworth, 2 completions, 5 attempts, 17 yards, 1
interception and 1 touchdown.

Perry, White respond to
media’s questions without
public face-off...
What took place here Oct.
15 might turn out to be the
closest thing to a gubernatorial
campaign debate Texans will
get before the Nov. 2 election.
The
Austin
stations
KUT-FM, KLRU-TV and
TexasTribune.org teamed up
to conduct separate hour-long
interviews of Gov. Rick Perry
and challenger Bill White, with
Evan Smith, editor in chief
and CEO of TexasTribune,
pitching questions.
Listeners across the state
submitted questions for the
candidates, too. Subjects covered included the state budget,
crime along the Texas-Mexico
border, teen pregnancy and
abstinence education, the
death penalty, political
appointments and more.
To listen to each candidate’s
thoughts on the issues, see the
archived videos posted online

Hoggett Elected to Board
of Directors for the Texas
Association of Secondary
Principals
Junction ISD is proud to
announce that Principal,
Melissa Hoggett, has been
elected to the Board of Directors
for the Texas Association of
Secondary Principals. TASSP
is organized exclusively for
educational and charitable
purposes, and the primary
aim of the Association is to
promote the advancement of
the secondary school education by providing a clearing
house for discussions bearing
on the problems of secondary school operation, and by
encouraging research in secondary education. A secondary aim of TASSP is to serve
as the sponsoring organization for the Texas Association
of Student Councils and the
Texas Association of Future
Educators, and to motivate
student council participation
and to encourage students to
become teachers.
The motto of TASSP is,
“Above All, Students First,”
and Mrs. Hoggett has demonstrated her commitment to that
motto through her work as one
of the outstanding Texas secondary school principals.
Melissa Hoggett is a 1977
graduate of Junction High

for Bell, Blanco, Cameron,

Hermine ripped through
Texas in early September,
bringing heavy rains and
flooding that damaged bridges, destroyed homes and
caused several deaths.
Texas joins foreclosure
group...
Texas Attorney General
Greg Abbott on Oct. 13
joined a coalition of 49 state
attorneys general, state-level
mortgage regulators and bank
oversight agencies that will
jointly investigate foreclosure
processing procedures.
The coalition will look into
whether individuals who confirmed information supporting
foreclosures actually had personal knowledge of the facts
to which they swore, the attorney general’s office said.
Some lenders recently
acknowledged using electronic devices to “robo-sign”
sworn documents.
The group also will review
whether foreclosure paperwork was signed outside of
the presence of a notary public.
Panhandle rep seeks
speakership...
State Rep. Warren Chisum,
R-Pampa, on Oct. 13
announced his intention to
run for speaker of the Texas
House of Representatives.
The 150-member House
elects a speaker every two
years, when it convenes in
regular session. The 82nd
Texas Legislature is scheduled
to convene on Jan. 11, 2011.
Chisum, first elected to the
House in 1989, cited his experience and leadership skills
as qualifications. He said the
conservative agenda of the
Republican majority eroded
last legislative session under
current speaker Joe Straus,
R-San Antonio.
In putting himself forward
for the speaker’s post, Chisum
reminded House members of
his service on the powerful
House Appropriations and
Ways and Means committees and his commitment to a
conservative agenda. Chisum
criticized Straus, saying the
speaker relies too much on the
support of Democrats.
Book festival draws big
crowd...
More than 200 Texas and
nationally known authors

Appellate court upholds
pledge...
The U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit on Oct.
13 ruled that the Texas Pledge
of Allegiance is constitutional.
The decision rejects an
appeal filed by a Dallas couple,
who unsuccessfully argued
that the state’s pledge violated the First Amendment’s
establishment clause because
it contains the words, “under
God.”
The federal district court
issued a decision rejecting the
plaintiffs’ challenge in 2009,
and the plaintiffs appealed
their loss to the Fifth Circuit.
Court overrules Keller
warning...
A court of review on Oct. 11
vacated the State Commission
on Judicial Conduct’s sanction
of Sharon Keller presiding
judge of the Court of Criminal
Appeals.
The court of review said the
State Commission on Judicial
Conduct acted unconstitutionally and failed to follow correct procedures when it issued
an informal warning to Keller
after she refused to keep her
courtroom open past 5 p.m.
for a last-minute death row
appeal in 2007.
