County commissioners hire attorneys and auditors
Austin County Commissioners accepted a bid of
$19,850 from Robert Belt of
Belt Harris and Pechacek to
audit all County Funds for the
year ended Sept. 30, 2014, and
prepare and submit a Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report to Government Finance Officers Association.
Austin County Auditor
Betty Jez stated during discussion that this firm was local, fully capable of electronic
data usage, had proper certifi-
cation and had strong experience in auditing counties.
Commissioner Reese Turner
asked if she was sure.
“You’re not going to have a
County Judge with 20 years
experience and you will be
working with a new County
Treasurer,” said Turner. “You
will be the point of the spear
this year. You need to be sure.”
The vote to hire Belt Harris
Pechacek was unanimous.
Following a closed executive session concerning evaluation of jail employees and
pending or current litigation,
Austin County voted in the
same vein as most counties
throughout Texas during the
Nov. 4 General Election.
There were 7,223 votes cast
in the county out of 18,572 registered voters. That is a 38.89
percent voter turnout.
In the statewide races, the
county leaned strongly to the
Republican Party. U.S. Senator John Cornyn received 82.92
percent, Representative Michael McCaul 84.76 percent,
Greg Abbott got 80.92 percent
of the votes for Governor, Dan
Patrick held 80.18 percent for
Lt. Governor, Glenn Hegar
82.31 percent for Comptroller,
George P. Bush 82.31 percent
for Commissioner of the General Land Office, Sid Miller
received 80.30 percent for
Commissioner of Agriculture
and Ryan Sitton had 80.91 percent of votes cast for Railroad
Commissioner.
Every Judge race on the ballot was overwhelmingly Republican.
In local and area races, there
were no opponents for Republican candidates, so 100 percent of votes cast in those races
went to one person.
Those total are as follows:
State Representative District 13 Lois Kolkhorst, 6,169;
District Judge, 155th Judicial
District Jeff R. Steinhauser
6,135; Criminal District Attorney Travis Koehn 6,117;
County Judge Tim Lapham
6,159; Judge, County Court
at Law Dan Leedy 6,190; District Clerk Sue Murphy 6,178;
County Clerk Carrie Gregor
6,180; County Treasurer Bryan Haevischer 6,150; County
Commissioner Pct. 2 Robert
Wayne “Bobby” Rinn 1,986;
County Commissioner Pct. 4
Douglas W. King 1,292; Justice

The Wallis Police Department will be starting a new
program called Kids, Cops
and Christmas. This program
is designed to help children
that are in need during the
Holiday season but is open to
all children.
Wallis Police Chief David
Moseley wanted to start this
program a year ago, but due to
time constrictions, was unable
to get it set up and in place.
“I feel that we, as Police Officers, have not only a duty, but
a commitment to our young
children,” said Chief Moseley. “We need to be a positive
role model to them and teach
them that no matter how hard
things are there will always
be someone standing beside
them acting as their voice and
also their protector of all the
bad that can come from today’s world. We care.”
Applicants will be asked
to fill out a short form. These
forms can be picked up at City

then placed in a container at
that same counter. The deadline for completing the form
and turning it in is Dec. 12.
What the program will do
the first year, depending on
funds raised, will pick from
four age groups: 5 to 6, 7 to 8, 9
to 10 and 11 to 12 years of age.
At the minimum, a girl and
a boy from each age group
will be picked. From there applicants will be notified as to
where and when organizers
will meet with the applicant
and their child.
If you feel that you would
like to donate to this program
you may do so by contacting
the Wallis Police Department.
An Account at Wallis State
Bank will be set up. The name
on the account will be the City
of Wallis Police Department
– Kids, Cops and Christmas.

I got back to the office a little
after 10 p.m. and looked up
the election returns. For some
reason, the amount of straight
ticket voters caught my eye.
In Austin County, 7,223 people chose to vote out of 18,572

39 percent of registered voters who actually voted, 4,419
voted straight ticket. The majority voted Republican, 3,788.

Cougars vexed at Van Vleck
By Johnny Griffin, Editor
The Brazos Cougars competed with the district runnerup Van Vleck Leopards for the
first half of their last football
game of the season, but fell in
the final half by a score of 6319.
“We were facing a playoff
team that finished in second
place in district and we played
well in the beginning,” said
Brazos Coach Mike Bonewald.
“We gave up a quick score at
the end of the first half to let
them separate and they beat
us in the second half.
“We accomplished a lot of
good things this year and
even though we ended with
a 4-6 record, we were very
close to making the playoffs.
We won some close games
and we lost three close games
we were in to the end. If we
make the next step, we can
win some more of those close
games. We’ll be bigger and
stronger next year. We’re already working.”
Van Vleck started the game
with an eight-minute drive
where they converted three
fourth downs into first downs.
On their fourth attempt, the
Cougars stopped them on
fourth and short.
Brazos scored quickly with
a snappy drive, all runs, that
ended with Chris Demny
scoring from one-yard out. A

Mesothelioma
may occur 30 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Many workers were exposed from the 1940s
through the 1970s. Industrial and
construction workers, along with
their families (second hand exposure) are among those at risk for
mesothelioma, lung cancer or gastro cancer (throat, stomach, colon).

Songwriters to perform at Schneider Hall in Columbus
COLUMBUS – On Saturday,
Nov. 22 at 8 p.m., five of Texas’
top Country/Americana musicians come together in a 1930’s
dancehall to reawaken what
live music in Texas has always
been about.
Drew Kennedy, Chris King,
Courtney Patton, K. Phillips
and Jamie Lin Wilson are
some of the best songwriters, storytellers and performers that Texas has produced
and are together for one night
only. While each artist brings
their unique style of Country,
Americana, and Folk to the
show… once they start playing
together, each performance
will build off the last, creating
a night of amazing music.
Located just 1 mile south of
Columbus on Hwy 71, Schneider Dancehall was built in the
early 1930’s and was an active
music venue until it was shut
down when the Schneider
brothers left to serve in World
War II. In the decades that followed it was used for small
functions, but mostly served
as barn for hay and cotton as
it weathered in the hot Texas
sun. In 2010 the family renovated it (keeping the original
wood in place) and is now
open again for private parties.
Tickets will be available at
the door as well as presold
online for $15. Doors open at
7 p.m. and the show starts at
8 p.m.

Soil testing continues through November
Growing better quality hay
and pasture grass is a major
goal of all hay and livestock
producers. Starting with a
soil test is the most important
step to determine the amount
of fertilizer needed each year.
Producers should consider
soil testing as an investment
in this year’s hay and pasture,
because the correct amounts
and timing of fertilization can
greatly enhance hay quality
and growth.
Nov. 1 through Nov. 30 has
been set as the time for all
Austin County landowners to
participate in the soil testing
campaign for this year’s hay
meadows and pastureland.
Soil samples submitted during this time frame, will be $7
for a routine analysis and $14
for a routine analysis including micro-nutrients if they are
turned in to one of the following locations around Austin
County: Bellville - Harrison’s
Farm Service and Linseisen’s
Feed; Sealy - Adamcik’s and
Steinhauser’s; Industry - Blezinger’s Inc. and Lindemann’s
Store; New Ulm - Dudensing’s
Farm Supply and Schulz Store
or to the Extension Office in
Bellville.
Soil sample bags, special
information sheets and directions for sampling are available at each of the locations..

soil testing contact the Texas

TOOTH TRUTHS
DENTAL CARE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
People 65 years of age and older, like younger patients, should see their
dentist at least twice a year for check ups and cleaning of the teeth. All
cavities, gum disease, and other dental infections should be treated. Patients
wearing full or partial dentures should have them evaluated for proper comfort
and ﬁt. Dentures that have been worn for many years may not ﬁt well
anymore. Loose dentures make it difﬁcult to eat and speak and do not support
the face as well. Your dentist can sometimes remedy the problem by relining
the denture, but a new denture should be made about every 5 to 7 years, or
when the dentures cannot be used comfortably. In some cases, implants can
be used to help secure the denture. This is usually most needed in the lower
jaw, and is sometimes the only way to help the patient stabilize and use their
dentures. Your dentist can determine if you are a good candidate for implants.
