When I was a kid, I would watch spaghe�i westerns with my dad and wonder why they were ca�ed that. It didn't make much sense to me that an Italian director would sh�t a movie in Spain and pretend that it was Texas. It also didn't ma�er to me

because as long as I didn't know any be�er, it was believable enough that the scru�y

landscapes in those movies was in fact Texas. But now the tables have turned. With co�on prices dro�ing and drought conditions a� over the state, west Texas farmers have turned to grapes as the new cash crop, and the Texas te ain is doing a fine job of imitating the Spanish countryside. The pr�f is in the pu�ing - Longshot's Temprani�o is a gold medal wi�er grown right here in the Great State. So strap on the six sh�ters, ride your faithful st�d over to the best tasting r�m in town, and sample the fruits of Wild West Texas. - Josh McFarling

830.837.5667Is there data you’d like to see unfairly graphed? Send your suggestions to [email protected].

Every week, we present data in a patently unfair format, comparing apples to oranges, as it were, in order to arbitrarily make a point. This week: Out�tter and Can-Ban advocate (you read that right) Matthew Hoyt is attempting to convince the City to install video cameras at the Comal river’s Last Public Exit in order to modify the behavior of river visitors. Hoyt believes that the presence of cameras will result in a reduction of undesirable behavior. For the purposes of this week’s charts, we’ll work from the unsubstantiated premise that 1% of river visitors engage in some sort of indecent exposure as de�ned by law. Here’s what that looks like:

Naturally, we wholeheartedly encourage the installation of these cameras, providing we can get the City to provide a 24-hour live feed at nbtexas.org. Perhaps Mr Francis can advise us on how to monetize the video, or at least avoid jail time for the City Manager should the City archive any footage of underage, topless tubers.

And here’s what it would look like if the presence of cameras were to curb that behavior by 50%:

Presumed occurrences of indecent exposure on comal river:

However, if convict and false imprisonment enthusiast Joe Francis taught us anything, it’s that the presence of cameras actually has the opposite effect, particularly on young, inebriated women. Like Hoyt, we expect a change in behavior, however we predict it will look more like this:

Due ProcessWITH NICK ROGERS

Update: Justin Carter CaseProsecutors dismiss a New Braunfels’ man’s claims that his constitutional rights were violated when he was arrested on charges that he made terroristic threats on Facebook. In its response brief to the Third Court of Appeals, the State argues that Justin Carter would have to wait until after conviction before appealing on such grounds.

In his appeal of District Judge Jack Robison’s refusal to drop the case against him, Carter claims that the charges against him violate his First Amendment rights. He also argues that the penal code under which he was arrested is unconstitutionally vague.

The law in question concerns sections of Texas Penal Code 22.07, which reads:

“(a) A person commits an offense if he threatens to commit any offense involving violence to any person or property with intent to:

(4) cause impairment or interruption of public communications, public transportation, public water, gas, or power supply or other public service;

(5) place the public or a substantial group of the public in fear of serious bodily injury.”

Lead prosecutor Chari Kelly argues in a response brief that Carter can only make a pretrial habeas corpus appeal on constitutional challenges if he shows that “the statute always operates unconstitutionally in all possible circumstances,” not those “as applied” specifically to him.

“To the extent Appellant attacks the statute as applied, he has an adequate remedy by direct, post-conviction appeal,” the State argues. “Therefore his First Amendment as applied argument cannot be considered through the vehicle of a pretrial writ of habeas corpus and should be denied.”

The State rejects Carter’s argument that the laws are unconstitutional, noting that, “when reviewing the constitutionality of a statute, it is presumed that the statute is valid and that the legislature did not act unreasonably or arbitrarily by enacting the statute.

“The reviewing court may only consider the statute as it is written, rather than how it operates in practice,” the State argues.

The nut of the case, however, is whether Carter’s comments were actually a “true threat.” Carter argues that the comments were only “hyperbole” that resulted from trolling behavior, while prosecutors insist that his comments were a valid threat, and thus do not offer First Amendment protections.

In February, 2013, Carter posted on a Facebook thread, “I think I’ma SHOOT UP A

KINDERGARTEN” and “EAT THE BEATING HEART OF ONE OF THEM.” Someone who saw the post alerted authorities.

Part of prosecutors’ claims that the comment was a threat is because of the timely context in which the post was made.

“Applicant’s threats to ‘SHOOT UP A KINDERGARTEN’ did not involve an expression of political, social or economic ideas; they were of ‘such slight social value as a step to truth’ that any benefit from them is vastly outweighed by the social interest in order,” the State argues.

Prosecutors insist that the “historical context” of when the post was made must be taken into consideration when deciding whether the comments represent a “true threat.”

“In the wake of numerous violent school atrocities, Applicant’s threats to attack a kindergarten were calculated to create fear of violence in the recipients of his message,” the State argues. “Accordingly, Applicant’s statements were ‘true threats’ that the State may prohibit, consistent with the First Amendment.”

As well, the State notes that Carter’s statement “I think I’ma [sic]” shows personal intent to act.

“Threats are not protected speech, and the First Amendment is not implicated,” prosecutors argue.

The State also denies that the penal statues were unconstitutionally vague and broad, arguing that the code meets the standard that, “a statute will not be held void for vagueness if a person of ordinary intelligence can understand its meaning.” Carter had argued in his appeal that the penal code fails to adequately spell out what “public service” or “substantial group of the public” technically mean.

“Applicant asks this Court to assume that the terms ‘public service’ and ‘substantial group of the public’ require a definition, as a person of ordinary intelligence could not possibly discern what these terms mean,” Prosecutors say. “While Applicant may not understand these terms, the citizens of Comal County … assuredly do.

“Notwithstanding Applicant’s repeated complaints in his brief, oral argument, and Motion to Dismiss for Vagueness, they are simple terms with common definitions that ‘need not be mathematically precise,’ the State argues. “Under Applicant’s rationale, every criminal offense in the Texas Penal Code would be struck down as ‘vague’ since every term of each section is not defined mathematically.”

Third Court of Appeals has not yet called for oral arguments.

Dealing with DonnaState Sen. Dr. Donna Campbell continues to file legislation, despite the best efforts of her Senate colleagues to put a halt to such behavior.

Campbell has drawn a great deal of attention for a slew of bizarre bills filed in the Texas Senate. The Senator Doctor represents the 25th District and believes she lives in Comal County, “somewhere.”

“We have tried everything,” said one Senate official, who only gave his name as “Dan.”

“We have locked the doors, shut her in a closet, gave her the wrong times for meetings, but she somehow always shows up,” Dan said. “Hell, we even dropped her off in the Rio Grande Valley, telling her we were going on a picnic. She still found her way back.

“I swear, she’s like some kind of savant,” he said.

Recently, Campbell made national headlines when she submitted a bill in an attempt to discourage UNESCO from selecting the Alamo as a World Heritage Site, even though the designation could provide millions of dollars to protect and preserve the Texas landmark.

Campbell argued that the designation would allow the Alamo to be sold to “ferners” and “terrorists,” dumbfounding her Republican colleagues.

“Can you name for me one time in which UNESCO has actually sold a World Heritage Site?” a fellow Senator asked Campbell.

“What? I don’t know,” she responded. “All I know is: I don’t want our treasured Alamo to get into the hands of gay Mexican terrorists. The Alamo was the deciding victory in Texas’ fight for independence against Mexico.”

After the Protect the Alamo From Gay Mexican Terrorists Bill, Campbell, a Tea Party favorite, was named to the Creepy Senate Subcommittee on Bizarre Legislation. Campbell, the only member of the subcommittee, was refused her request to be named chair.

More recently, the Senator filed a bill that would mandate that all fetuses be given guns in order to protect themselves against abortion.

“The unborn have as much right to the protections offered by the Second Amendment as anyone else,” the Senator said. The measure is called Senator Campbell’s Most Greatest Bill Ever.

When the bill was introduced, it was met with gaped-mouth confusion by the rest of the Texas Senate.

“Look, I’m as much pro-life and pro-

gun-rights as any other Republican here,” one colleague said. “But, how in the world is something like that supposed to work? I mean, it would be weird enough if the bill allowed fetuses to carry guns, but to make it mandatory? She frightens me.”

The Senator has also filed measures that would:

-- Make it illegal for homosexual men to get pregnant

-- Allow public schools to segregate Christians from “heathens,” such as “Hip Hoppers”

-- Forbid the use of “witch magic”-- Make marijuana illegal in states where

marijuana is legal.When not in the Senate, Dr. Campbell is a

practitioner of Sinister Medicine in another county.

Another River Documentary on the WaySatanic evangelists are heading to New Braunfels over Memorial Day Weekend in order to film a documentary that bemoans the lack of “serious debauchery” among river tourists.

“What in the Hell, New Braunfels?” said Satanic Priest Thayer Wolfentooth. “Where is the public lasciviousness? Where is the sodomy? Where is the violence? Where are the sacrifices to the Dark Lord?

“I’m very disappointed,” Wolfentooth said.The New Church of Archaic Evil’s plans

come in the wake of Christian evangelists who plan to come to the City to film a documentary about what they claim is the deplorable behavior of those who use the rivers for recreation.

Producer Jay Hix Jones, who is making the Christian evangelical documentary, claims that there are “2 million rapes” and “a million billion drug arrests” on the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers every Memorial Day weekend. Jones claims that half of all tourists to the rivers die, while the other half are arrested for those deaths.

Jones has also produced the show “Hoarders” and “The Henry Lee Lucas Music and Comedy Variety Hour.”

“This is just not an evil town,” Wolfentooth said. “The only evil we had found in New Braunfels was from a small group of people who hang out for breakfast every morning.”

The working title for the New Church of Archaic Evil’s documentary is, “Soooo Booooring.”

double winner!As I drove down Days End Road in search of

the Harwell residence, looking left and then

right at every driveway for the address, I

passed an unusual mailbox. Before I had even

read the name, I knew this had to be where I

was going. A life-like arm and hand made of

twisted steel rods held the Harwell’s mailbox

out to the road, waving me in.

Jimmy Harwell, a Wimberley metal sculpture

artist, Vietnam Veteran and owner of Steel Life,

waited for me outside his modest studio just

down the hill from his house. We stood together

a while talking about his art, life, inspiration and

favorite pieces, and I got a glimpse inside the

head of an incredibly talented man.

Harwell is a Texas Native and grew up

just outside Wimberley. His family owned a

ranch not far from where he currently lives,

where he grew up around horses and goats

and learned all the tricks of the trade: welding,

mechanics, blacksmithing and even carpentry,

which came in handy when he and his wife

Annabel built their house 32 years ago.

Harwell’s artistic path all started with

blacksmithing, which he used to make things

like knives and later spurs. Eventually, he began

to elaborate his work and make beautiful,

artistic spurs out of rebar, adding small details

in bronze, and putting them up for sale. But it

wasn’t until the ‘90s that Harwell decided to

try another route. With encouragement from

his wife Annabel, Harwell started taking art

metal classes at Austin Community College.

“If it wasn’t for Annabel I’d probably

still be mechanic-ing or something,” Harwell

said, smiling. “We decided that I would

pursue this career.”

So he did.

“I was already an accomplished welder,

so I didn’t have to master that part of it, all I

had to master was the creative artistic part of

it,” Harwell said.

Artistic mastery was no obstacle for

Harwell either. His instructor at Austin

Community College liked Harwell’s first piece,

a steel bull, so much that he encouraged

Harwell to begin selling them.

“I made another bull and a horse the

same scale and I took them by a gallery in

Wimberley, and they usually want to do

consignment… but he paid me cash for them

right there in the parking lot,” Harwell said.

“And I thought that’s not bad.”

After the bull came more steel projects,

but Harwell, a multi-talented man, couldn’t

just work with one material. Here and there he

would play with stone, and later bronze, but

he always kept coming back to steel projects.

Harwell attributes much of his success in

his career to Annabel, who encouraged him to

take steel art as far as he could, and supported

him throughout the evolution of his work.

“Anybody that says, ‘oh I’m going to be

an artist,’ a successful artist, they’re dreaming,”

said Harwell as he laughed. “You better have

someone backing you up.”

That someone for him was Annabel, who

is not only his biggest supporter but also his

biggest critic, he said.

“Once we opened up a gallery though,

things really changed and I got a lot of

commission work and that’s all I do now, just

commission,” Harwell said.

In the beginning, Harwell had a high

demand for artistic steel gates. While working

at his gallery in Wimberley, a man wanting

some commission work from Harwell asked if

Harwell could build four gates, each featuring

a three-dimensional Cypress tree. The Cypress

trees interested Harwell, so he continued

sculpting them after he completed the gates and

soon began making tree lamps with Wimberley

Glassworks. Harwell has now made over one

hundred tree sculptures which act as bodies for

the lamps. Wimberley Glassworks then blows

a glass lampshade which resembles a colorful

leaf canopy. The end result is beautiful. The

steel rods look remarkably like twisted, moving

branches and bark, giving the whole work life.

“All the rods are heated and they’re all

laid in there one at a time, so it’s pretty time

consuming,” Harwell said. “In fact, there’s

only myself and two other people that really

know how they’re done, and I’m not telling,”

he added, smiling proudly.

In 2008, Harwell made an 18-foot tall

version of his tree sculpture for the Make-a-Wish

Foundation headquarters in Dallas. The tree

had eight large limbs with countless branches

and four-thousand copper and bronze leaves,

each of which had a child’s name engraved

on it. The tree took six months of labor, and

what Harwell calls an “engineering and

artistic” feat. He now regards it as one of his

favorite pieces he has done so far.

“Each tree is unique, even in my wildest

dreams I couldn’t duplicate this,” said Harwell,

looking at one of his most recent tree lamps. “I

call my work authentic imperfection.”

He said he always has a clear vision of how

he wanted a piece to turn out and only hopes the

metal will let him accomplish his end goal.

The uniqueness of Harwell’s work has

captured commissioners’ attention throughout

his career, and has enchanted others with

admiration for his level of talent and skill.

Neighbors, friends, and residents of Wimberley

most likely recognize Harwell’s work as it is

displayed all over the area. In fact, it’s hard

not to notice the beautiful glimmering gates as

you drive through Wimberley neighborhoods.

Harwell’s latest projects, along with the

tree lamps, are rose lamps, which are tall with

winding steel roses climbing up the body. The

latest rose lamp can be found at Wimberley

Glass Works where they have again added a

glass shade to Harwell’s work.

“To me, it is as lovely, or even more so,

than the trees.” said Harwell, referring to the

rose lamps.

In the words of Harwell himself, his work

is indeed, quite lovely.

By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: Why are we put

down by our own people for being

educated and articulate (I’ve been

called gabacho, and I’m as brown as the

next guy) while the Anglos accept us for

being smart? I work in Santa Ana as a

high school teacher and am considered

very good at what I do, but when I meet

with the Mexican parents, it almost

borders on mistrust. What is it—envy,

paranoia, jealousy?

Smart Mexican American Reading

Teacher Asking Serious Stuff

Dear SMARTASS Wab: Don’t flatter

yourself too much. Anti-intellectualism is

rampant in American life—witness this country

electing Dubya as president for two terms,

liberals slobbering over Hillary Clinton, and

conservatives elevating Michelle Malkin and

Hugh Hewitt to sabios when the thinking part

of this country rightfully relegates them to

pendejo pendejos. But tell you what: you’re

enlightened, so guide those hater Mexicans

to the Light. Let them know that the only way

ahead in this country is to be educated and

articulate—and then guide them to me instead

of your arrogant ass.

Dear Mexican: When I around

my workers I keep hearing the word

“camote” and they are not speaking

about yams. What is the slang use

of “camote”?

The Gabacho from Sylmar

Dear Gabacho: Usually, it means “penis”;

every once in a while, it can mean a cerote,

which means a “turd”. Ain’t Mexican Spanish

slang grand?

Dear Mexican: I know they’re

biased and I’ve no doubt only the most

incendiary shots were used. But I was

watching YouTube last night, and there

were a lot of videos concerning the

amnesty marches of a couple of years

ago. Naturally one-sided, I still couldn’t

help but notice two recurring themes:

One was Mexicans burning, stomping

and desecrating the American flag.

Another was Mexicans consistently

using the terms “racist” or “Nazi “to

describe American citizens, born or

naturalized, who oppose amnesty.

Certainly, sympathy for the cause was

not a goal of this march. What is your

take on that?

Old Glory Gary

Dear Gabacho: I’ve been to immigration

protests where Know Nothings assaulted

peaceful protestors and burned the Mexican

flag. I’ve seen immigration protests where

gabachas called little kids “cockroaches”

and “savages” and gabachos menaced

college students. I’ve seen immigration

protests where Know Nothings spewed all

sort of modern-day blood libel on Mexicans,

with little fear of reprisal. I agree that burning

American flags ain’t going to win anyone

over to amnesty, but at least the only people

on our side who support such moves are

indigenazis and yaktivists who grow out of

it. Your side, on the other hand, not only

condones the boorishness of your worst Know

Nothings—you elect them again and again

to office because of those tactics. Or do you

think the only reason Sheriff Joe Arpaio has

stayed in office so long is because of his

porcine good looks?

Last Thursday, Miss TX Citizen brought out the of�cial TX Citizen Giant Scissors for the christening of the NEW Prickly Pear Bar at the Ramada Inn on Business 35. If you haven't been to the Pear in last month, you haven't been to the Pear! Newly expanded and fully remodeled, with lots of natural light, the place feels like it's doubled in size. Make your plans now for Cinco de Mayo, as Taco Palenque and the TX Citizen bring you the Texas National Taco Eating Championships, LIVE at the NEW Prickly Pear Bar! Note: That incredible homemade ribbon was crafted from actual cash, and donated to Emily's Elves for their annual toy drive!

Every year, the folks at Oma Gruene's Secret Garten pull out every last stop for a li'l something called "Hair and Hearts"! Bands come to play, people from all over the state come to enjoy the festivities, and stylists from Blinder's Hair Salon set up shop and harvest ponytails from generous owners of long hair. That hair, and a whole bunch of cash, is then donated to Pink Heart Funds for the bene�t of folks undergoing chemotherapy. This year's take: Over 100 ponytails and 6,000 US dollars! Well done, y'all!
