TXCITIZEN.COM 3

Last week we promised you an

article about City Council

serving the interests o somewell-connected businessmen,

in one case going outside o

the law (again) and in the other,

not taking the time to nd out what

they actually voted to approve, which is

as hilarious as it is disturbing. We will get

to those stories, albeit in a highly abridged

ashion, because on Monday Boston blew up,

and rankly that makes corrupt/incompetent

City leadership seem insignicant.

As o press time, the bombs that exploded

at the nish line o the Boston Marathon had

taken the lives o three people, including an

eight-year-old boy, and wounded another 140+.

According to a Rhode Island State Trooper who

was present at the scene, over twenty o the

wounded lost at least one limb. The death toll

may yet climb over the next ew days.

And as always happens in these cases,

theres a rush to assign blame and nd a

reason, any reason, or the tragedy. Something

other than Evil Bastard Kills Innocent People,

which is, o course the truth. It was the truthon 9/11, but since its super hard to keep evil

people rom getting on airliners we decided to

stop evil things rom boarding; like nail les,

shaving cream in excess o three ounces, and

homemade egg-salad sandwiches. Threat

dissolved. That was easy.

Were doing the same thing right now

in response to the Sandy Hook massacre.

Despite the act that gun violence is down,

way down, over the last twenty years, one

evil bastard committing an unconscionable

act has prompted legislation to limit the evil

things responsible or the killings: guns and the

magazines that hold the ammo. Hooray. Evil

deeated again. Well done.

Heres the deal. Evil people will always

nd a way. Rules dont apply to them. Sure,

we can limit the sale o ball bearings

and pressure cookers, but thats

not going to stop the next guythat wants to build a bomb. All

we can count on is this: truly evil

people, people capable o torture

or murder, are a tiny minority. And

the bombers and mass-shooters are usually

one and done were not going to run into the

same guy doing this over and over.

During our collective lietime, well

probably deal with the super-evil on at least

one occasion, but probably not when theyre

mid-mission on a killing spree. We wont even

notice them. They might not even know what

they have in them. Which is why they cannot

be stopped i theyre willing to go to the eort

o killing a bunch o people, and especially

i theyre willing to take their own lie in the

process. There are nearly seven billion people

in the world. A ew o them are going to be

terrorists and mass-murderers. We need to

understand that, and accept it just as we do

any other natural danger.

We dont wake up in ear o earthquakes

or tornadoes or tsunamis, even though weknow they could wipe us out in an instant.

The same goes or bad guys. They can get us,

but they probably wont. Take the precautions

that you can, but know that evil, like lightning

strikes, cannot be legislated away. Dont

panic. It wont do any good.

Fun with City Council, Part IAs or the latest Council asco, let me say

this: I dont care what you do on your land. I

you own land, you should be allowed to build

whatever you want on it. But i were going to

live in a place with rules or such things, I hold

that those rules should be applied equally,

and not bent or broken or certain parties who

have political pull. So here we go

Continued rom previous page.

On March 25, Council held a rst

reading and vote or approval to rezone some

land out on FM 1101. So ar, so good. The

problem was, and is, that that land wasnt

within the Citys limits, and there had been no

vote to annex the land. Oops.

Yes, you can annex and zone concurrently.

But concurrently means at the same time.

Not beore the act. That would be prior to,

which means something completely dierent.

Anyway, somebody gured out that there

might be a problem zoning land that wasnt

actually in the Citys jurisdiction, so Council

held a special, ten-minute meeting to take a

vote on annexing the land.

It should be noted that special Council

meetings have been traditionally used or

long, drawn out ordeals, not rubber stamp

items. The our previous special Council

meetings addressed the appointment o an

interim City Manager, the creation o a special

utility district or the Veramendi development,

and two presentations or the bond package.

Super ponderous stu. Then this thing.

The property owner o record or the land

in question, Mike Norris, wasnt there or the

zoning change or annexation. He didnt even

make the request or the annexation another

party did that or him and youll see why

thats relevant in moment. Now lets be clear this isnt Norris ault, at all. I dont have any

problem with him trying to get work done.

What bothers me is what Council did to Chris

Martinez last year, because he didnt have the

right riends at City Hall.

Martinez runs the tube rental over at the

444 on East San Antonio Street. He has some

steps leading into the river, downstream romthe tube chute, that hed like to let his customers

use. He was denied the right to use the steps

or any number o crazy reasons, the most

outrageous o which was this: He leases the

property his business is located on, and Council

didnt want to approve the item because the

property owner o record, Gregg Weston,

didnt personallymake the application.Were certain the act that members o the

Weston amily were/are suing the City or that

$100,000 worth o ll dirt the City took o

Weston land without permission had nothing to

do with Councils denial o the request. Or the

recent denial o Westons request to purchase

some land rom the City to build a downtown

parking lot, or that matter. That would be

crazy conspiracy talk! Everybody knows we

dont need any more downtown parking.

Chris Martinez has two strikes against

him: He rents rom a Weston, and hes in

the tubing business, which makes him an

automatic villain in the eyes o Council. (Plus

his last name is Martinez, so lets call it three

strikes.) Mike Norris, on the other hand, is on

the board o directors o the Greater New

Braunels Economic Development Foundation

along with the Mayor, the County Judge,

Chamber o Commerce President Michael

Meek and, o course, Tim Zipp, (ormer

Medicare Compliance Ocer at the now-

bankrupt Scooter Store, and current president

o the Citys 4-B Board). But really, this whole

situation has got to be a coincidence. Im sure

its nothing to worry about.

Fun with City Council, Part II

Youre going to dig this one. Remember

Danny Scheel? He was the hated County

Judge we had beore the loveable Sherman

Krause. I mean, even the hated Ken Valentine

hates Danny Scheel. Thats how hated Danny

Scheel is. Super hated. Uber-hated, i you will.

Anyway, ormer Judge Scheel is also the

guy that backed up Kathleen Krueger during the

can-ban debacle by declaring the Comal river

rie with prostitution, a claim he reused to back

up despite numerous media requests to do so.

I personally called Big D our times or an

explanation, and even asked Krueger to have

him get back to me on that. I was working at

government-riendly KGNB at the time, so the

act that Scheel wouldnt return my calls speaks

volumes. I mean, nobody had any idea how

awul I could be until months later, when I

started writing this column. I totally get why hed

blow me o now - Im a terrible person. Plus he

was making the whole thing up and didnt think

anybody would declare shenanigans on it.

In any case, Scheel is the proprietor o

Comal Pawn, on the corner o Walnut Avenue

and West San Antonio Street. Hes got an

old sign near his building that doesnt meet

current City standards, and is going to be

pulled down as part o Walnuts widening.

Again, its his property, and rankly, I believe

he has the right to put up whatever kind o

sign he wants. I dont care about the sign. But

now he wants a new one.

I dont care about the new one either,

but City Council supposedly does care about

what signs people put up in ront o their

businesses, and makes all kinds o rules. One

set or people they like, and another or people

they dont. Remember those guys that had the

mobile billboards that used to drive around

town? Council made special laws after the fact

to put them out-o-business, even though the

sign guys ollowed all the rules beore puttingthose trucks on the street.

New monument signs, like Comal

Pawns, are supposed to be set back ve

eet rom the street. Danny Scheel got

special permission to build his one oot rom

the street. The new Comal Pawn sign will

also be our square eet larger than the City

allows. And were still not to the good part

o the story. The good part is this: The size

o the sign, and the act that it didnt comply

with current law, was stated in the agenda

packet that City Sta writes up and provides

to Council beore a vote. From the packet

(emphasis added):

The proposed sign will meet the height

restriction o the C-2 district, but will exceed

the maximum allowed sign area by 4 square

eet and will be setback 1 oot rom the

property line rather than the minimum setback

o 5 eet.

District Three Councilman Ron Reeves

asked City Sta i the setback was the only

thing in confict with the current sign ordinance.

Which means he didn t read the packet, or

was trying to trip up sta. Were going with

didnt read the packet on this one.

City Sta replied to his question with a

Yes, which means they orgot what was in

the packet, or just outright lied. Were going

with orgot what was in the packet. Were

very generous.

District Six Councilman Stephen Digges

immediately cut o discussion with a motion

to approve, which District Fives Bryan

Miranda seconded. Danny Scheels sign got

the ok, which is ne, but Council approved

it, unanimously, without knowing what they

were signing off on, other than the act thatDanny Scheels name was at the top o the

application, which isnt such a great reason

or doing anything.

Forgive our presumptiveness, but we

expect the people that write the laws, and the

people that vote on them, to know what theyre

actually dealing with. Ater all, weknew what

was in there, and were pretty much brain

damaged. Ask anybody.

ADVICE FROM

UNCLE ESEL

7/28/2019 TX Citizen 4.18.13

11/16TXCITIZEN.COM 11

Uncle K. Esel is a lietime resident o our air city, and iswell known or his sage advice on a wide range o topics.I you fnd yoursel perplexed with no one to turn to,send your question to Uncle Esel at: [email protected]. Be sure to write Question or Uncle Esel in thesubject line o your email.

Dear Uncle Esel,

One o my biggest pet peeves is

people running stop signs and red

lights. How come we dont have stop

light cameras?

Tanks, Full Stop Ron

Dear Ron,

Red light cameras rst appeared in Europe

in the mid 60s. In the United States we didnt

start seeing them until the 80s, and back then

they used lm that had to be developed. Then

came the digital age and suddenly the idea o

the systems took o to a new level.

Controversy has also ollowed with

conficting studies that at times show somebenets, but in other cases little reduction,

and even increases, in accidents. Though the

industry sells them as saety promoters, some

municipal leaders have looked at them as

revenue generators and this has brought out

groups opposed on civil liberty and privacy

grounds. Some cities have ound greater

success by making red lights more visible

and worked on timing issues so drivers are

stopping at red lights less oten.

Looking or something unny now?

Uncle Esel doesnt think running lights is a

unny subject, but i you have to laugh, then

Google unny red light camera pictures. As

to seeing them around here, in keeping with

local tradition, I would expect that we would

probably spend more money implementing

them than the revenue they would bring in,

maybe not such a good idea.Love, K

Dearest Mr. Esel,

I have heard that some people are

so superstitious about the number o

the beast thing that they avoid those

numbers at any cost. Have you ever

heard o this and do you think it is true?

Yours ruly, Kathryn

Dear K,

The number 666 is associated in the Bible

as the number o the beast or some say the

antichrist. Most people I know who consider

themselves devout Christians do not really

xate on the issue, but there are some who

apparently avoid this number at any expense.

I the number comes up on their bill, they wont

touch it. I the number is on a street sign, theywont drive there. I the number shows up in

a phone number, they wont dial it. So all this

leads me to believe that perhaps these people

are too touchy. I you are not the antichrist,

why would paying a tab or $6.66 suddenly

make you the antichrist?

Esel believes that perhaps the greater evil

is the stupid 9/10 o a penny on every gallono gas, or the old .99 cent price point at every

retailer, or the old new car thing; ($32, 999 is

an obvious deception most devilish in nature).

By the way, you might not want to read that

last sentence upside down. Lastly, or the

casino ans, the roulette wheel when added

up, well, that comes out to 666.

Love, K

Hey Esel,

I just heard that they might stop

printing the Encyclopedia Britannica. Is

this or real?

Sincerely, Book Guy

Dear Libris Dorkimus,

Speaking about comparisons to

Wikipedia, a Britannica executive said,

Theyre a chisel; were a drill, and you need

to have the correct tool or the job. Yea

buddy, youre right. Cant prop a door open

with a webpage.

Love, K

Dear Uncle Esel,

I read an article that said

microwaved water should never be put

in plant soil or it will damage the plant.

Any truth to this?Respectully, Will the Plant Guy

Dear Weeping Will,

You must be thinking o cats. Cats should

not be microwaved. Water, on the other

hand, is ne. The only way this could hurt

the plants is i you put it on the plant while it

was just out o the microwave. Cats, on the

other hand, will still not are well even ater

sitting at room temp or 15 minutes. Anothermyth probably put out by some tree huggers

to rally against irradiated oods? Nahhh!!!

We like Salmonella.

Love, K

By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: What do we need

to do to make the geros understand

we come in peace As Mexicans, we are

rom this great American continent as

well, but in the average close-minded

English-speaking olks defnition o

American, its amusing to see they

dont understand what it really means,

as in: unless you are rom one o the ew

nature-communing groups o people

now dubbed Native Americans, then

you cannot say you are American;

being that either yoursel, your parents,

grandparents or great-grandparents

(you get the point) came rom the Old

World and hence have been in this

land illegally or much much longer

than us bean lovers. So I repeat my

question: how can we make these

green-gos understand we come inpeace? Tat we are here to live a good

lie in peace and to take it or leave it: we

are here O SAY! Help me make these

McDonalders understand already so

we can all learn rom each other and

live in peace!

El Frijolero

Dear Beaner: Gracias or showing

American that Mexis can be as meandering

as gabachos. As to your question: weve

tried everything to Hispander to gabachos

over the years. We gave them hal o

Mexico, we called ourselves Spanish,

we considered ourselves white, we madeamazing dishes that other gabachos turned

into multi-million-dollar empiresand, still,

they hate us. What to do? Not a single

pinche thing: Mexicans in this country are no

longer at a place where we have to grovel

to anyone. I gabachos dont want to accept

that aqu estamos and we aint vamos, then

they deserve the beautiul brown grandkids

that are coming their way.

I noticed that my avorite candies

are primarily made out o chile and

tamarindo. I understand that chile

is indigenous to the Americas, but

tamarindo is not. I ound that tamarindo

originates rom the Middle East and

Arica. And through the slave trade

and the dreadul European expansion,

tamarindo ound its delicious way to

the Americas. What I dont get is how

and why tamarindo became so popular

amongst nuestra gente? We consumemega-tons o it! We drink it, we make

candy out it, I sometimes have dreams

about it...que onda?

Pocho De Ocho

Dear Pocho: Actually, tamarind came to

Mexico through the Manila galleons and has

no Middle Eastern connection whatsoever

the Levantines contribution to Mexicos ruit

culture is granada (pomegranates) via the

Spaniards via the Moors. But it was only

by a brain pedo o God that tamarind isnt

native to Mexico, as no other culture save

certain Hindoos loves it the way we do. Its

not much o a mystery: Mexicans love sweetswith tropical verve and feshiness, whether

its mamey, mangoes, papayas, guanbana,

tunas (the prickly pear) or boring-ass

pineapple. But tamarind is the king o the

jungle, becauseas you pointed outwe

can turn it into so many things: ice cream,

ruit leather, salads, salsas, on chocolate,

paletas, and so much more. And when we

pare it with chile (which we always do), its

the greatest product o oreign-yet-similar

cultures since the leprecano.

Ask the Mexican at [email protected], be his an on Facebook,ollow him on Twitter @gustavoarellano

or ask him a video question at youtube.com/askamexicano!

Abbey Ale

Ever been to a place that was woeully

underrepresented in the beer department, save

or one really interesting thing? Like you can

almost tell that some slick new hot shot rom a

beverage distributor came in with a mission to

stock that one particular beer? Oddly enough,

in a supermarket that had nothing rouge,

nothing stone, and hardly even had New

Belgium, (and none o their big bottles), they

had Ommegang Abbey Ale. It was one o the

maybe handul o 22oz bottles, and the only

one with the cage and cork topper.

This Abbey Ale is a dubbel, or a

Belgian Brown ale, and it comes in at 8.5%

ABV, pretty natural or the style. It pours a

very dark chocolate-brown, with a dense

tan head. Its slow to recede, but when it

does it leaves those sticky rings all down the

glass. Now, dubbels like these have always

been a treat to me, because the distinctive

Belgian style o the yeast I believe pairs

very well with a darker malt backbone o

something like a brown ale. Heck, I like

brown ales in almost every way (maybe with

the exception o brown or amber lagers),

and adding that ruity magic o the Belgian

yest is perect ion. In that ashion, the nose o

this beer is great. Its just a ton o very dark,

sweet ruit, with a little bit o that candy-

sugar/caramel. You get notes o g, plum,

and even a little bit o baker spice.

Tasting it, especially at a red wine

temperature level, really opens up a treasure

box o favor. You get some clove, some berry,

even some peach/banana ruit esters. The

overarching favor is very bready, toasted malt,

almost like a German brown ale. The favors

just kind o peek through this backbone,

and youll get notes o anise, citrus zest and

pith and peel, brown-sugar caramel, and a

horn o plenty worth o all ruits. It nishes

leaving a slight hop dryness, and a bit o the

booze comes out here. The carbonation levels

are just a little bit high, with each sip oaming

itsel up and bombing the rst impression with

sweetness. This level o complexity and the

complimentary favors exempliy the amazing

work that Brewery Ommegang is doing. I you

see this one, put it at the top o your list, you

wont regret it.

THE ADOLPH SEIDEMANN INSTANTANEOUS FORUM

7/28/2019 TX Citizen 4.18.13


You want to hear something unny? I mean, not like unny ha-ha but kind o weird unny.

Back in 1936 a local attorney/rabble rouser named Adolph Seidemann had a look at the Citys

government and the then-locally-owned Herald, and declared their relationship corrupt.

Seidemann went out and bought a printing press, and produced what might be considered

the rst incarnation o the TX Citizen The Adolph Seidemann Instantaneous Forum. We got

our hands on original copy o Adolphs publication, courtesy o TX Citizen reader Joe Lisk, who

ound it in an old trunk that he got rom an estate sale. Cool.

HE ADOLPH SEIDEMANN INSANANEOUS FORUMDedicated to the preservation o the Constitution and laws under which we

are living

New Braunels, exas, March 13, 1936o the voters and citizens o New Braunels, exas.Mr. Bailey Jones called me over the phone and told me that I had made a

mistake in stating that he had received $350.00 per month when he was rstelected Secretary o the Chamber o Commerce, and he told me that he startedwith $200.00 per month or the rst year, $250.00 per month or the second year,$300.00 per month or the third year, then $333.33/ per month, also that themoney appropriated or postage was not all spent or stamps in writing letters,but that he mailed out during two years about 5000 pamphlets or bookletsdescribing the advantages o New Braunels. I assured him that I would make

the correction, and I thereore, on Monday morning, March 9, 1936, examinedthe Minutes o the Board o City Development and the City reasurers booksand had the City Clerk to make statements rom the City books, all o which Ihave in my oce.

Mr. Jones was Secretary o the Chamber o Commerce beore the City Boardo Development came into existence, and I presume that the $200.00 per monththat he reerred to, was paid him as Secretary o the Chamber o Commerce therst year and the $250.00 per month as Secretary o the Chamber o Commerceor the second year. Tat salary paid him was raised by voluntary subscription o

the business men and property owners. Ten in 1929 the AMENDMEN raisingthe MONEY by AXAION came into existence, and now let us see what theMINUES OF HE BOARD OF CIY DEVELOPMEN and the REASURERSbooks show. At the meeting o the Board o City Development held on March 7,1929, motion was made and seconded that B. A. Jones be retained as Secretaryand that his salary be set at $300.00 per month, and another motion was madeand seconded that Herbert Wittenborns, the Assistant Secretarys salary beRAISED to $60.00 per month, and BOH MOIONS WERE CARRIED, and theREASURERS records show, that B. A. Jones received $300.00 per month romMarch 1, 1929 to February 28, 1930, and that Herbert Wittenborn received

$60.00 per month rom March 1, 1929 to October 31, 1929. Te MINUES othe Meeting o the Board o City Development and Chamber o Commerce onJune 18; 1929, show, that SECREARY JONES MADE A SAEMEN HA AIMES HE WAS FORCED O USE HIS CAR IN MAKING ROUNDS FOR HEBABY BEEF CLUB AND WOULD LIKE O HAVE HE DIRECORS SE A PRICEOF SO MUCH PER MILE FOR HE USE OF HIS CAR. A motion was made andseconded HA EN CENS PER MILE BE ALLOWED FOR HIS WORK ANDthe MOION CARRIED.

I gladly and reely make the correction that Mr. Bailey DID NO receive

$350.00 per month when he was rst appointed Secretary o the Board o CityDevelopment, but only RECEIVED $300.00 per month, but the ASSISANSECREARY received $60.00 per month, so that MAKES $360.00 per month

paid or salaries during the period mentioned, but the REMARKABLE ANDINERESING point to the whole matter is, that Mr. Baileys salary WASRAISED AFER HE MONEY CAME OU OF HE AX PAYERS POCKE,and I willingly accept as true, Mr. Baileys statement to me over the telephone,that the postage that I had reerred to in my letter, was not all used in writingletters, but that a part o it was used in mailing out the pamphlets or booklets

mentioned by him.Ten the MINUES o the Board o City Development show, that at the

meeting o that Body held on March 10, 1930, Mr. B. A. Jones was re-elected asSECREARY and his SALARY SE A FOUR HOUSAND ($4,000.00) dollarsper year, and the REASURERS records show, that Mr. Neuse received $50.00per month rom November 1st, 1929 to March 31st, 1931 and that Mr. BaileyJones received HREE HUNDRED AND HIRY-HREE DOLLARS ANDHIRY-HREE AND ONE-HIRD CENS ($333.33/) per month rom March1st, 1930 to February 28th, 1931, so that makes $4600.00 that the taxpayers o

New Braunels paid or the services o Mr. Jones and his assistant or thosetwelve months, but Mr. Jones salary was raised during this year o depression,and the salary o our local boy reduced. It does seem to me, that our local boy,Benne Neuse, was sufering equally with Mr. Jones rom the depression, andthat he was as much entitled to a raise as Mr. Jones. Ten the MINUES o theBoard o City Development show, that at the meeting o that Body on February25, 1932, the salary o the Secretary was xed or the ensuing year at $300.00per month, and he received, as shown by the REASURERS Books the sumo $300.00 per month rom March 1st, 1931 to September 30th, 1932, and hisAssistant received, as shown by the REASURERS books the sum o $60.00 per

month rom April 1, 1931 to September 30, 1932, so these salaries or these lastmentioned months were $6780.00. From October 1st, 1932 to June 30, 1934,Mr. Benno Neuse, Assistant Secretary, received $50.00 per month, and thenhe resigned and other assistants were employeed. Mr. Bailey Jones receivedrom October 1st, 1932 to the day o his resignation a salary o $200.00 a monthand the budget allowances. At the meeting o October 16, 1934, the budgetwas xed, as already stated, as ollows: Salaries $2400.00, Miscellaneous andextra help $550, raveling expenses $300.00, elephone and telegraph $150.00,Stamps and stationery $125.00, Publicity and Conventions $875.00. Te present

incumbent, Mr. Whitehead, receives a salary o $150.00 per month and $50.00per month car expenses.I had intended to explain this week how the money or the Chamber o

Commerce could be raised without taxing the small home owner and workingman, but will deer that until next week, at which time I will also answer thegentleman that told me, in the City Hall, on uesday morning, March lOth,1936, that I should not send him any more o my letters, and that I should notdare to slander him or any member o the Board o City Development, and willalso answer other parties that have made certain suggestions to me.

Te petition asking or an election, signed by 313 voters o New Braunels

was led with the City Commission Monday, and election, as you will noticein our local newspapers, has been ordered. I am the President o the NewBraunels ownsend Club, and W. L. Hilliard o at, exas, will address thepeople o New Braunels and Comal County on the subject o the ownsendOld Age Revolving Annuity Plan at the Court.
