was still in the newsroom at KGNB, found out that those cans would actually stretch from here to San Marcos, and was told by Krueger that, well, thats still too many. Last week I talked about the five-headed baby, and how if I go to the carnival and buy a ticket to see a fiveheaded baby, Id damn well better see a fiveheaded baby. If I go into the ten-in-one and see a two-headed baby, Im going to be upset that Ive been lied to. If the barker says Ok, it doesnt have five heads, but two heads is still a lot for a baby, Im going to punch him. You have cans that stretch to San Marcos? Then youd better not say Ft Worth. I mean really. What if you were told you had a to ride a bike to San Marcos and then found out you really had to go to Ft Worth? Youd go UNSANE. Honesty, yall. It keeps you out of trouble. The fact that anybody started looking into this story at all springs from that first disingenuous claim. Krueger and her crew could possibly have gotten away scot-free on this entire scam, even avoided the court challenge, had no one noticed they were inflating the numbers. There would most certainly not have been a TX Citizen, and I would have moved on from KGNB, because I enjoy things like money and food and sleep and money, and nobody would have been the wiser. She fudged the numbers to impress and frighten the public, I caught her, and all Hell broke loose. Good times. Anyway, a little more digging revealed the good stuff that then-River Manager Nathan Pence had been reporting bags of trash that were perhaps one-quarter full, as completely full, 60 gallon bags. Oops. Thats up to a that the the litter 400% exaggeration. Then we found out that the river litter numbers he was issuing to the press included all the properly disposed of waste from all of the trash cans in the riveradjacent parks. In other words, not litter at all. Oh dear. So much deception. Continued on next page.

ask questions of City Council and Staff via the electronic mail. According to the bounce notifications that we kept, our emails to City Hall, City Council, and the police and fire departments have been getting bounced at least as far back as May of 2013. Weve complained about this quite a bit, given that locking the press out of email contact with a government is probably actionable and certainly un-American, but were guessing that it was the mention that Nick Rogers gave the situation in his column in our January 30 edition that finally prompted the change. We look forward to staying in very, very close touch with all the folks at City Hall from here on out, without having to come up with new gmail addresses every time we want to contact them. Now, lets talk lies. As you may remember, the recentlydeclared-unconstitutional Disposable Container Ban was sold to the public as a litter-control measure. We know that wasnt the actual motivation for writing it, as it was put forth by the same people that attempted to ban alcohol from the river several years prior, successfully banned coolers over four gallons in capacity from the Comal (law since overturned), and constantly complained about the crowds of visitors to the rivers. These attempts, these bans, and these complaints all originated with the same small group of riverfront property owners and their friends people who would like the rivers to themselves. You Krueger, may made also remember about spokesmodel for the Can-Ban, Kathleen claims collection that were patently untrue, such as the fact that if all the cans collected from the river were laid end to end from the downtown squircle, they would reach Ft Worth.

When I presented her with the actual figures, her response to me was The numbers dont really matter. To which I responded, Then dont use numbers to sell your point. Actually I didnt respond. But I thought it in a really powerful voice in my head. I ran a piece on KGNB which reported the amount of cans in pounds rather than gallons. After hearing that story, the Mayor sent an email to then City Manager Michael Morrison, letting him know that she wanted the litter reported in Zeitung, regarding the vote to establish the

Thats how much, in American dollars, City Hall spent with the Herald-Zeitung in 2013. (I should have said it was a million dollars, because, you know, numbers dont matter.)

Although I opposed the river ordinances passed over the past few years, Ill be the first to say our rivers are cleaner and safer. However, we must ask ourselves, at what cost? Did the ends truly justify the means? Our city has been polarized and neighbor has been pitted against neighbor. Tourism is down. Businesses have lost revenue and many, unfortunately, have shut their doors. You boast and take personal credit that H.O.T. tax revenue is up, yet thats not your doing. Thats a natural result of an improving economy, not a result of your misguided ordinances. Worst of all, your so called leadership got us, the taxpayers, involved in countless litigation that ate up tax revenue that could have been used to hire more police officers and firefighters and give both these first responder groups a much deserved raise.

As a licensed Texas attorney, I believe the Judges ruling is correct and based on sound legal principals and our Texas Constitution. The river outfitters and all of our towns tourist related businesses should now be free to go about their business without further government interference. You know, the tragic irony is, we pride ourselves on being a very red county, in a very red state, yet this council, every Monday night, sits here and breaches the most fundamental tenant of conservative Republican principles: you all, our citys government, meddle in most mundane aspects of our daily lives to our detriment. When a municipal government regulates how a child should eat a fruit cup on a Texas river, Ayn Rand spins in her grave. You should not appeal this ruling. If you dont understand it, please ask your attorneys to explain it to you. Better yet, Google Texas Constitution and read it. Oh, I know Mrs. Mayor, an alleged overwhelming amount of e-mails from unknown and unnamed citizens support an appeal. That may be true. However, theyre wrong and probably

the same group of wealthy river homeowners that got us into this mess in the first place. Dont listen to them. I repeat; they are wrong. Its not their money at stake and their personal agenda is in conflict with the 21st century growth of New Braunfels and the reality that we live in Texas No. 2 tourist destination behind San Antonio. So, what should we do if we dont appeal? Well, thats easy. First, we end this litigation madness! Then, we go back to the drawing board and craft a solution free of special interest groups and back room conversations. This time we should work together and come up with reasonable solutions that favor tourism and serve the needs of everyone in our city and not just an elite few. We are all very passionate about this issue because we all love our town and we all want the same thing two clean, safe rivers that promote tourism while balancing the need for a quiet and peaceful existence for those, like me, who live on or near our two amazing rivers. Mrs. Mayor, Council members, you will soon ask us, the citizens

of New Braunfels, to support you in your desire to appeal Judge Burgesss ruling. I hope you dont get that support. Your policies have failed and we have squandered three years of economic opportunity. In 90 days three new faces will grace this chamber. Let new leadership, elected by the people, decide how we should move forward. Your time is over, youre done. Instead of using this remaining time on this council to ask for approval of the status quo, you should instead be asking all of us for our forgiveness.

The specter of appeal lurked in the courtroom during a brief hearing concerning the lawsuit in the disposable container and cooler size ordinances. Visiting Judge Don Burgess, who had already ruled that the ordinances were unconstitutional and unenforceable, listened Monday as lawyers for the plaintiffs and the City of New Braunfels disputed the legal rules regarding attorney fees. The judge said he wants to make sure all issues are well resolved. I got a feeling that this case isnt ending here, Burgess said. My job is to prepare as precise a package, both formally and legally, as I can so parts of this case dont have to be done again. I dont want to send something to Austin that has error, he said. William McKamie, who represents the City in the lawsuit, and City Attorney Val Acevedo indicated they intend to recommend the City appeal. Whether the Council will agree remains to be seen. A proposed order to invoke a permanent injunction on the City from enforcing the ordinances has yet to signed by the judge, as he waits for the issue of fees to be resolved. He recessed the hearing until March 21 to give both sides more time to go over the fees. Jim Ewbank, who represents the collection of businesses that sued the City over the ordinances, said the judge made the right call, saying he didnt provide the defendants with his bills until last week. Ewbank said his fees are about $255,000 while McKamies fees are at about $350,000. McKamie, however, argued that since the businesses only sought injunctive relief, the City is not required to pay any attorneys fees. Ewbank took exception with that view. The injunction is the relief, he said. The fees are the resolution. Those fees will certainly continue to rise if the decision is appealed and Ewbank said hes ready to continue to fight if thats the case, although he would prefer that the City decide otherwise. We want to get the order in place and begin working with the City to find a resolution, Ewbank said. Education and enforcement is the best way. Theres a lot that can be done that achieve the goals of the City, the citizens and businesses short of an appeal. Once the final order is signed, the City will have 30 days to appeal. Mayor Gail Pospisil has said New Braunfels will continue to enforce the ordinances. Even though the judge had

ruled the ordinances as unconstitutional and unenforceable, McKamie said they are still in force until the judge signs the order. Ewbank, however, advised that the City stop enforcement. The proposed order simply says that the judge decides for the plaintiffs. (Burgess) wanted the order to be very general, Ewbank said. Also to be decided is the amount of bond that the businesses involved in the suit will have to take out. The bond is in case the City suffers damages while the case is on appeal. If Council refuses to vote for an appeal, the bond will be returned to the plaintiffs.

Update: Rathbun vs Scientology

Lawyers for a Comal County woman argued on Feb. 4 that her lawsuit against the Church of Scientology International (CSI) does not violate the Churchs First Amendment rights. The Church had filed an Anti-SLAPP motion that claims the lawsuit infringes upon its rights and should be dismissed. Monique Rathbun is suing the Church, its leader and others for what she says was a campaign of harassment and spying against her. Her legal team argued that the Church cannot prove that her suit is damaging the rights of CSI. This lawsuit is not based upon, relates to or (is) in any way a response to the defendants First Amendment rights, attorney Marc Wiegand argued. He also argued that the Churchs behavior crossed any line that would have been considered protected. In his rebuttal, the Churchs attorney, Ricard Cedillo, said Monique Ratbun was being surveyed because her husband, Marty, was offering Scientology services without the Churchs permission, violating the organizations trademarks and copyrights. We wanted to investigate what he was doing, who was visiting him and who in our organization was helping him, Cedillo said. attorneys, Leslie Hyman, pointed out that if the Rathbun providing Scientology services without its approval, then its a business dispute. then Anti-SLAPP does not apply, Hyman said. Judge Dib Waldrip gave both sides until that, the judge has 30 days to decide on the Churchs motion.

I have a friend who insists that vanilla flavoring comes from beaver anus. Is there any truth to this? Thanks, Mort
Dear Mort, Glad you asked this, because I had forgotten about being asked to look this up on a few occasions. There is only a tiny truth about this issue. Vanilla actually comes from a bean, or more specifically a pod, that grows similar to a green bean. Actual vanilla is very expensive but in high demand, so at times artificial versions are used. The confusion is actually about another spice called castoreum. Castoreum is at times used as a substitute for vanilla in foods, and its derived from a substance excreted from the scent/anal glands of the North American Beaver. How do you know when its in your food? You dont, as it is normally labelled as natural flavoring. Its funny, but I never realized how much natural flavoring comes from our local politicians. Love, K building a garish monstrosity of a home that bears absolutely no characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood or the nearby historic home of early settler and botanist Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer. When you factor in Hoyts absence of experience, its no wonder there are so many questions surrounding this new to New Braunfels, and new to Texas, candidates qualifications. Love, K

Mr. Esel, I was dating a girl who was in a miserable marriage with an old guy. We used to go to Austin and dance on Sixth Street and have a great time but then she got scared about getting caught and quit seeing me. Through it all, she was still talking to me, but then her husband found out about us and she started lying to him that I was the aggressor in the relationship and that I wouldnt leave her alone. This is pretty scary stuff and I wondered if you might know why she is doing this? What do I do? Thanks, Humfrey
Dear Humfrey, Alright guy, change your phone number, move, and stay away from this woman. Sounds like your lady friend is setting you up to get the husbands attention off her and on you. Many claims of harassment and stalking that proved false have been characterized by two traits inherent in the accuser: one is False Victimization Syndrome, where an individual attempts to convince others that he or she is being stalked by inventing claims made to reestablish some failing relationship and/or to gain attention. Many of these same people also fit the description for histrionic personality disorder, which is characterized by a demand to be the center of attention, have a shallow expression of emotions with rapid shifts, and speak in a manner that is overly impressionistic and lacking in detail. What this spells out is jail time for you even if you didnt do it. Get far away now and dont look back because people have served time for false accusations. What, youre still reading? Run...

Dear Uncle Esel, I saw a flurry of postings and received several emails about this Hoyt lady running for some county office. Ive been so wrapped up in city politics I have to admit I wasnt aware about this race. What do you know? Thanks, Roz
Dear Roz, Kirsten Hoyt is running for County Clerk and is most known for being married to Matthew Hoyt. You might remember Hoyt as the wonder kid who worked hand in hand with the Kitchen Cabinet on the container ban. He also has served on the Citys Planning and Zoning Commission for several years, and then, after working closely with Kathleen Krueger to unconstitutionally ban disposable containers on the rivers, bought a river outfitter business. Mr. Hoyt has also been what can only be termed as a HUGE Obama supporter. On the heels of the Bart Bartholomew nose-thumbing to the Republican Party, many are viewing Mrs. Hoyt as a false Republican and even as part of the acknowledged plan to Turn Texas Blue, the Democrats plan to infiltrate and take over conservative counties in Texas. A quick drive around parts of town have found a disproportionate amount of Hoyt signs in the yards of Kitchen Cabinet members and their friends. One very obvious sign was noted on the property of the Cabinets pastyskinned attorney, on the property that he is TXCITIZEN.COM

! Hot in the Kitchen with Sherri Gallagher

New Orleans is one of the most romantic cities in America. Walking hand-in-hand with the one you love under the gaslights in Jackson Square will create a memory youll never forget. Since 1840, Antoines restaurant in the French Quarter has been serving historic dishes for the rich and famous. In 1899, their chef created Oysters Rockefeller which was named after John D. Rockefeller, the richest man in America, due to the richness of the sauce. With a little variation of this recipe, Antoines created Oyster Bienville and named it after Jean de Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville who was one of the founders of the city of the Crescent City. Even if you and your love cant get to NOLA this Valentines Day, you can still bring some of that romance and history home to your own kitchen; and what better way than with a dish legendary for its aphrodisiac properties!

12-24 raw oysters in their shell Course rock salt cup chopped green onions 1 clove garlic, minced 3 tbls butter 1/3 cup all-purpose flour salt tsp ground white pepper tsp crushed red pepper flakes 1 cup chicken broth cup heavy whipping cream 2 egg yolks, beaten lbs cooked, shelled and deveined, shrimp, chopped cup finely chopped mushrooms 2 tbls white wine cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tbls dry bread crumbs 1/8 tsp paprika Shucking oysters can be difficult and possibly dangerous. The last place you want to spend Valentines Day is in the emergency room. So use oysters that were slightly steamed by the fish market. This will cause them to crack open just slightly and allow you to easily open them up with a simple butter knife. Ask the fishmonger at the seafood counter or look for oysters with a rubber band around them. They will be about $0.70 per oyster. Once open, use a butter knife to scoop under the oyster and detach it from the shell. Rinse out any grit, dirt, or sand. Place each oyster in the deep half of each shell and arrange shells on a bed of coarse rock salt in a shallow pan. In a saucepan, saut green onions and garlic in butter about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour, salt, white pepper, and red pepper. Add chicken broth and cream, stirring until well blended. Continue cooking over medium heat until the mixture is thickened and bubbly, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat. Stir in beaten egg yolks very slowly so as to not cook the eggs. Return mixture to saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in shrimp, mushrooms, and wine. Heat thoroughly. Remove from heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the shrimp mixture over each oyster. Combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and paprika in a bowl. Sprinkle over oysters. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden on top and the oysters curl. Garnish with lemon wheels and fresh parsley. Serve under candlelight with your favorite wine or bubbly. May you and your sweetie have a romantic Valentines Day! Until next time, Eat, Drink & Be Sherri!

Last Word
With Kelly Colby
Obamacare: Failure in Five Steps
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare has there ever been a piece of legislation that so clearly failed to accomplish its intended goals? The bill was passed in piata form: gaudily festooned with flowery rhetoric but essentially empty, left to be filled with special interest free-foralls, political paybacks, and empty-headed, economically-ignorant, anti-capitalist wishful thinking. Now that the bill has passed, and the various bureaucracies have had their way with it, we can see what is in it, and its a sticky hot mess. Thanks, Speaker Pelosi. Obamacare was intended to do just five things: increase the quality of health insurance, increase the affordability of health insurance, lower the uninsured rate by expanding public insurance, lower the uninsured rate by expanding private insurance, and reduce the cost of healthcare overall. The rosiest projections suggest that none of these things will improve substantially. The quality of health insurance is really a matter of perspective. The Obama administration has made much of insurance that is worthless if you are dropped when you get sick. Nothing could be truer. Of course, healthcare services like maternity and lactation services are worthless to me (no equipment), as are drug treatment services (no money), and free contraception (no opportunities). Quality insurance needs to cover those things that I need, and ideally, it should cover only the things I cant afford on my own. Insurance companies dont make money by collecting less than they pay out for in services, so paying for non-essential services that everyone will use runs up the cost of coverage for everyone involved, which leads us to the next Obamacare goal. Increasing the affordability of health insurance seems to be the area where Obamacare will fail most spectacularly. As I pointed out above, if there is one sure way to mess this up, it has been accomplished by adding numerous silly healthcare services that are either unneeded or could be paid for out-of-pocket. Furthermore, I would like people to consider this question: what was the last thing that you were legally required to purchase that decreased in price? Put a different way, increased demand makes the cost go which way? TXCITIZEN.COM Already people are seeing that their healthcare premiums are going up. In most cases, their deductibles and co-pays are as well. (Sure, the wet-nurse is swell, but Schroders college fund is going to be a bit light from now on). Since wages have not been going up in the meantime, I take this as a bad sign for affordability. In fact, the only people likely to see their health insurance costs go down are those who are qualified for subsidies of one kind or another, the burden of cost shifting back to taxpayers in general. An example of this very problem is one of the goals of Obamacare: to lower the rate of uninsured by expanding the rolls of public insurance. Those rolls are expanding, and you can be sure that this will cost quite a pretty penny. The bill may not come from your insurance company, but it will be paid, either through higher taxes or more borrowing. Dont get me wrong, the statistics indicate that the uninsured in America will still exceed 30 million after Obamacare. None of this will solve the problem of the uninsured. The initial evidence seems to indicate that the Medicaid expansion is overshadowed by those who have lost their private insurance. In the end, if the rate of uninsured in this country does drop, it will not drop significantly, and it will not be cheap in any case. The idea of expanding private insurance and thus dropping the rate of the uninsured was always a pipe-dream. If circumstances had allowed for such a thing, it already would have been done. Private insurers dont go out of their way to leave market share on the table. They only do so if that market is unprofitable. If the thought process was, instead, that mandating that insurance be carried would do the trick, a bigger stick should probably have been used. The penalties for not having insurance are far less than the cost of insurance overall. Consumers tend not to make irrational decisions just because we wish they would (though a clever ad campaign can help), and since the administration seems to be backing away from even the small penalties they intended to apply, there is little reason for people who dont want health insurance to buy health insurance. The idea that healthcare costs, overall, will be reduced by Obamacare seems to be falling by the wayside as well. Costs are continuing to rise, and any drop in that rate of increase has more to do with the lack of money in the market than with legislation of any type. In addition, all we have really done is shifted the cost from one set of books to another. If taxes increase to pay for healthcare, that doesnt lower the price of healthcare. Once again, the belief that Obamacare could lower healthcare costs was based on a fallacy. If money was being wasted, you can be certain that some shrewd businessman would have already found a way to profit by removing that waste. In fact, the very idea that the government is capable of teaching business how to spend money more effectively is so absurd that I cant even continue the line of thought beyond this sentence. So, you say, Obamacare is a disaster, but what do you have to offer other than criticism? Not surprisingly, Republicans have fallen into this trap and are offering their own healthcare solutions. Let me be the first to say that the Republicans are just as sure to mess things up as the Democrats did. Any attempt on their part to try to polish this abomination is folly at best and dangerous at worst. Democrats know this and are happy to have Republicans share some of the blame as quickly as possible. I have nothing to offer but criticism. Ill say that again. I have nothing to offer but criticism. Now that the engines of the plane have been shut off, the fuel dumped, pilot and copilot killed, and a .45 taken to the control panel, Im supposed to come up with some constructive suggestion or sit back down and think happy thoughts like everyone else? Well, you can be sure thats not going to happen. Sometimes theres nothing left to do but place blame and run screaming around the cabin like your hair is on fire. Obamacare is one of those situations. Im not sure I would even suggest repealing it. The damage has already been done; this plane is coming down. I know things wont be made any better with a fresh coat of paint, and Im not sure were in the position to redesign it into a glider at this point. If its possible, maybe we can auger this pig in a less populated area. Barring that, have the first responders on standby, and Stewardess, bring me another drink.
