Texas songwriter SaraHickman comes toEvenings with the Song-writer at the historic Dr.Eugene Clark Library,Tuesday, April 28 at 7p.m. Hosted by FletcherClark, the series (now inits fifth season) occurs onthe last Tuesday of eachmonth, and is free to thepublic.
Sara Hickman hasgarnered recognition as acaptivating singer/song-writer, vocalist and mu-sician, with artists suchas Shawn Colvin, theFlatlanders, Robert EarlKeen, Willie Nelson andmany others coveringher songs.
“Tuneful, clever andcarefully observed, SaraHickman’s material hasall the strengths ex-pected of a contempo-rary Texas songwriter,plus one more –whimsy,” Rolling Stonegushed.
Sensitive and fearless,her CDs offer testamentto Hickman’s diverseand emotional songwrit-ing capabilities that ap-peal to a wide range ofaudiences.
Since she started per-forming at the age ofseven, Hickman hasbeen embraced by bothfollowers and critics.
The Associated Pressproclaimed, “Seek outher albums and clubshows for her melodicsense, excellent guitarplaying, rich voice andmix of sunny optimism
with heartache.” Hickman’s home state
of Texas loves her too,naming her the 2010-2011 “Official State Mu-sician of Texas,” joiningsuch luminaries as WillieNelson and Lyle Lovett.
A guest performer onat least 25 albums byother recording artists,Hickman has touredwith Billy Bragg, DanFogelberg and NanciGriffith, and has openedfor other artists includ-ing the Decemberists,
John Hiatt and LucindaWilliams. She has alsoappeared in and sung onnational ad campaignsfor Walmart, Popeye’s,Daisy Sour Cream,Southwest Airlines, Fan-nie Mae and numerousothers. And the journeyis far from over.
“Sara’s range of reach– in lyrics, music, andaudiences – is what
draws me to her,“ Clarksaid. “She has been amajor force in the Austinmusic community forsometime, as a beaconfor women in the all-toomale-dominant commu-nity of songwriters.While pursuing a veryactive music career, sheis a mom whose personalenergy and commitmenthave had a substantial
impact especially on kidsand women. And thoseare merely the side bene-fits of this very creativeand engaging singer-songwriter.”
Lockhart’s Dr. EugeneClark Library is the old-est continually operatinglibrary building in Texas.
“I can’t imagine doingthis in any other room,”Clark said. “From myfirst appearance in 2010,I realized the librarylyceum’s acoustics andambiance were ideal, es-pecially since folks havetheir library mannersand are really listening.”
The Evenings areavailable to the publicfree of charge, thanks to
the City of Lockhart Li-brary staff and supportfrom local Friends of theSong sponsors ToddBlomerth and PattiPayne and Donaly andClare Brice, as well as theLockhart Area Music As-sociation.

The legisla-tive session ismoving brisklyalong in Austin,with only aboutsix weeks left be-fore the closinggavel. I ampleased to sharethis updateabout recent ac-complishments at the Texas Capi-tol.
The House has unveiled a taxcut plan, which I co-authored, toprovide $4.87 billion in tax relief.House Bill 31 would enact the firstsales tax cut in state history by re-ducing the sales tax rate from 6.25percent to 5.95 percent. House Bill32 would reduce the state franchisetax rate by 25 percent. These billswill provide permanent tax sav-ings to every individual and smallbusiness in Texas, and promote
economic growth and job creation.Both the House and Senate are
committed to providing tax reliefto Texans. An alternative proposaladdresses a slightly different set oftaxes, so in the coming weeks, theHouse and Senate will work to-ward an agreement on how to allo-cate the tax relief.
This past week, the House gaveinitial approval to “open carry”legislation, which removes the con-cealment provision for those whohold a concealed handgun license,or CHL. Despite our state’s reputa-tion for respecting individual free-dom and the Constitution, Texas iscurrently one of only six states inthe nation that do not allow citi-zens to carry unconcealed hand-guns. This legislation, which Ico-authored, will better secure theSecond Amendment rights of lawabiding Texans. Governor Abbotthas pledged to sign an open carry
bill when one reaches his desk.Finally, this week I am introduc-
ing House Bill 2840 to the HouseCommittee on Elections, whichwill guarantee the rights of ourmilitary personnel to vote a fullballot when deployed. Currently,they may not receive a full ballotwhen abroad, which limits theirright to vote in local races. I believethat our fighting men and womenin uniform deserve to vote a fullballot while putting their lives onthe line to defend our freedom.
On a related note, I was honoredto present a flag flown over theTexas Capitol to Captain Dale Dye,USMC (ret.), at a celebration in ourdistrict to honor the sacrifices ofVietnam Veterans. I am remindedthat freedom is not free. It has beenpurchased with the blood and

the editor and guest columns concerning issues oflocal interest.
Letters must be signed and include a daytimephone number attached for verification purposes.
We reserve the right to edit letters for length,style and clarity, and to limit publication to one let-ter per author per 30-day period. Letters shouldfocus on issues, rather than personalities.
The newspaper will make reasonable efforts topublish letters that express the opinions of ourreaders. However, letters that have been previ-ously published in other area publications are con-sidered redundant to our readership and will not beconsidered for publication.
The newspaper welcomes letters expressingviewpoints about candidates, politics and politicalissues. However, no such submission will beprinted if received fewer than six weeks prior to anelection in which that candidate or issue is sched-uled to appear on the ballot.

Community brings pride to peopleTo the Editor:
Every now and then, one’sheart cannot help but burst withpride and joy regarding their com-munity!
That is exactly how I felt on Sat-urday, April 18.
The Caldwell County welcom-ing home our Vietnam Veterans(on the 40th anniversary of theend of the war) was such a mov-ing day and a wonderful experi-ence!
With countless volunteers andunbelievable heartfelt dedicationto honor our American Soldiers,our community shined in a won-derful tribute to all of our veter-ans.
For all the kids who volun-teered and/or were in attendance,I believe that they could have pos-sibly learned more about our Viet-nam Soldiers than any textbookinformation could have provided.
It is my belief that our soldiersare our true American treasure…
and my heart treasures this com-munity’s love and support for ourheroes!Shelly K. MichelsonLockhart
Commissioners missed mark onwater resolutionTo the Editor:
Numbers are useful things. Ifproperly understood they allowman to send a mission to Mars. Inthe right hands, they allow onemeasure and grasp and get a feelfor the size and significance of athing or idea. In the wrong hands,the information conveyed bynumbers can be erroneous anduseless. In your paper CaldwellCounty Commissioner AlfredoMunoz is quoted as saying, “thiscompany (Electro Purification(EP)) plans to sell 10,000 acre-feetof water per day.”
The fact is EP wants to sell upto 7.5 million gallons of water perday. Seven million five hundredthousand gallons converts to 17.5
acre-feet. The commissioner’sstatement is not even close to thefacts. It’s hard to fathom how thecommissioners can make in-formed decisions using such erro-neous data.
The commissioner’s decision toback a resolution against GoforthSUD is unwise and misinformed.Goforth SUD is charged withbringing water to those in its serv-ice area. Part of its service area isin Caldwell County.
Goforth has chosen to takewater from the Trinity formationin Hays County. Nothing wrongwith that. Everything they aredoing is legal and ethical. Onemillion gallons would go to sup-ply Niederwald. Why would theCaldwell County commissionerschoose not to support Nieder-wald?
In the sixties, the community ofMaxwell received its water from ashallow dug well in the Leona

Editor’s Note: Due to a productionerror, Judge Blomerth’s article was notrun in its entirety last week. We apol-ogize for that error, and offer the com-plete article for your information thisweek.
As many of you know, I havethe great privilege to chronicle thelives and deaths of over 80 men(and one woman) who were killedduring World War II. The LockhartPost-Register and the LulingNewsboy graciously agreed toprint those stories. It proved an ar-duous, time-consuming and often
frustrating process. It also washeartbreaking, sad, but a deeplysatisfying experience. They wereall heartbreaking stories of youngpeople whose lives were snuffedout long before their time. At thetime I stated that I wish I hadstarted that project 10 years ago. Iwould have had the benefit ofmore family members still alive.But then again, the internet’swealth of information may nothave been available then.
I “came up for air,” so to speak,and took a breather. Now it is timefor me to write stories on other
wars and other, more recent losses.I would deeply appreciate our gen-tle readers’ help on this next proj-ect. This new effort hopefully willallow me to make contact withfamily members and friends whoremember the lives of these men.
Below is the official list of Cald-well County men who were killedin the Korean and Vietnam wars:

LLETTERSETTERS TOTO THETHE EEDITORDITOR
By Julián Aguilar THE TEXAS TRIBUNE
The Texas Senate on Monday passed its ownsweeping border security bill, choosing to send itsown version to the House rather than taking up theHouse’s measure, which the lower chamber passedlast month.
Senate Bill 3 by state Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, is the upper chamber’s companion legisla-tion for House Bill 11 by state Rep. Dennis Bonnen,R-Angleton. Both measures would beef up the num-ber of Texas Department of Public Safety officers onthe border; create a Rio Grande Valley intelligencecenter to analyze border crime information; establisha team of retired DPS officers to assist with back-ground investigations and sex offender compliance;and increase penalties for human smuggling.
But the Senate’s bill would keep the Texas ArmyNational Guard on the border until the DPS is con-sidered to be fully staffed in the region.
"Now that the Texas Senate has overwhelminglypassed its state budget, funding border security at his-toric levels [$811 million], it was the appropriate timeto pass SB 3," Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said in a statement.
The Senate approved SB 3 in a 26-4 vote, with Sens.Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston; José Rodríguez, D-El Paso;Rodney Ellis, D-Houston; and José Menéndez, D-San
Antonio, voting in opposition. The bill now goes tothe House for consideration.
"I'm extremely proud of the bipartisan support forSB 3, which will help the Department of Public Safetysustain and appropriately expand their successful ef-forts to tackle these problems statewide," Birdwellsaid in a statement.
SB 3 doesn’t set a specific timeline on the Guard’swithdrawal. It states that the “deployment of TexasNational Guard troops to the border region is neededuntil the Texas Department of Public Safety has thepersonnel to fully secure the border region withoutthe assistance of the Texas National Guard Troops.”
The House passed HB 11 in March. It was intro-duced as part of a package with House Bill 10, whichaddressed human trafficking, and House Bill 12,which codifies the duties of the state’s border prose-cution unit. Like Bonnen’s measure, however, the twohave yet to have a hearing in a Senate committee.
The Senate’s budget also contrasts with theHouse’s version in the amount appropriated for bor-der security. The two chambers are about $300 millionapart, in part because of the Senate’s desire to keepthe National Guard deployed for an extended periodof time.
The Senate’s bill also requires DPS to study the use-fulness of southbound checkpoints within 250 yardsof the border to prevent the smuggling of guns and il-
licit cash. Birdwell amended his bill to make clear theagency doesn’t need to get additional legislative ap-proval to establish the checkpoints.
The measure passed with little opposition, mainlyin part to Birdwell’s promise to keep more controver-sial measures, including the so-called sanctuary cities
a premium, and I thinkthis is an incentive,”Councilmember JeffryMichelson said. “Devel-opers are being enticedby cities.”
Mayor Lew White en-couraged the council toapprove the measure,noting he hoped to keepthe development mo-mentum gained in thelast 18 months to con-tinue moving forward,and reminding them thatnew businesses havecome into the communityand will draw employees
to live nearby.In the end, the council
voted 3-2 to approve themeasure. CouncilmemberBenny Hillburn was notpresent for the meeting.
In other business, thecouncil considered an or-dinance that will makechanges to the currentsewage disposal ordi-nance.
According to Rodgers,the change is necessary toprotect the city’s waste-water treatment plants,and help to ensure theyremain in compliancewith Texas Commissionon Environmental Qual-ity (TCEQ) standards.
Under the current or-dinance, businesses areallowed to discharge
20,000 gallons daily be-fore in-house testing (andpossibly treatment) is re-quired. Under the pro-posed change, thatamount would be re-duced to 10,000.
“We have to knowwhat people are planningto put into our sewersand treatment plants, be-cause one bad businesscould cost a lot of peo-ple,” Rodgers said. “Test-ing is necessary forbusinesses that could im-pact the pipe or treatmentplants.”
In brief news: The council voted to
change the current CivilService Ordinance toallow for “over-hiring” atlower levels, when pro-
motional vacancies exist.Under the terms of CivilService, the city must hirefrom within when anupper level position be-comes available, whichoften leaves lower-rankswithin the fire and policedepartments under-staffed.
They spent an ex-tended time hearing pre-sentations from FinanceDirector Jeff Hinson re-garding the upcomingbudget process, and theCity’s current investmentreports.

Formation. As Maxwell’swater needs grew, it or-ganized a water supplycompany and went overto Hays County, anddrilled wells into the Ed-wards formation.
As it continued togrow, Maxwell partneredwith others to obtainswater from theGuadalupe river; a longway from home andagain in another county.
What Maxwell did iswhat Goforth is doing-supplying water.
Ideally, our countycommissioners addressproblems after carefulevaluation and make de-
cisions useful to the citi-zens of Caldwell County.Our commissioners seemto always stub their toe.Their resolution againstGoforth was unwise.Their decision regarding
the waste disposal sitedid not bring the maxi-mum benefit to thecounty.

The 64th annual National Day of Prayer (NDP) is fastapproaching!
On Thursday, May 7, NDP Task Force volunteersthroughout the country will coordinate events wheremillions of Americans will gather to humble themselvesbefore the Lord – and there are additional untold num-bers who will be participating in other ways.
This annual observance powerfully demonstrates thereligious freedoms that were secured by our FoundingFathers who recognized that our innate human rightsare inexorably tied to our relationship with the Creator.
America’s rich tradition of prayer was established bythose who sacrificed to lay the foundation for a gov-ernment based on the principles in God’s Word. Yet ournation has departed from those solid underpinnings,abandoning our hard-won birthright. We now waverbetween righteousness and immorality, and this vacil-lation puts us in great jeopardy. In the words of oneearly leader, President James Madison:
We’ve staked the whole future of American civiliza-tion not on the power of government, far from it. Wehave staked the future of all of our political institutionsupon the capacity of each and all of us … to Governourselves according to the commandments of God.
One of the greatest “layperson revivals” in Americanhistory occurred in 1857. At that time there were 30,000men idle on the streets of New York. Drunkenness wasrampant, and the nation was divided on slavery. OnSept. 23, 1857, Jeremiah Lanphier, a praying business-man, began a noontime prayer meeting on Fulton Streetin the Financial District of Manhattan. Out of a city ofone million people, six individuals showed up. How-ever, the crowds grew, day by day, and within threemonths there were prayer meetings all over the city.More than 50,000 people in New York City alone pausedeach Wednesday at noon to pray. The prayer revivalsoon spread across the nation, and in about 18 months,a million people were converted to Jesus Christ.
This year’s theme, Lord, Hear Our Cry, is hoped toprompt citizens to turn to God in reverence and humil-ity. As 1 Kings 8:28 reminds us, “Hear the cry and theprayer your servant is praying in your presence thisday.” The Almighty is waiting for Americans to turnback to Him in a posture of prayer and repentance. Maywe, this day, determine to surrender our ways to Him,giving God the honor He deserves so that, as Psalm 85states, “His glory may dwell in our land.”
Local plans are underway for Caldwell County resi-dents to participate in this national call to prayer bygathering on the northeast corner of Caldwell CountyCourthouse Lawn on Thursday, May 7 from noon – 1p.m. to pray for our leaders, our churches, our schools,our military, and our families. Local participants are en-couraged to bring lawn chairs and water. In case of rainthe gathering will be moved to First Lockhart BaptistChurch Connection Center. For more information onthe Lockhart event call Rhonda Shaffer (512) 376-0839.

By Morgan SmithTHE TEXAS TRIBUNE
Thousands of high school seniors who haven'tpassed the required state exams are close to gettinga chance at a diploma anyway under a measure ad-vancing in the Texas Legislature.
On Tuesday, the House overwhelmingly ap-proved Senate Bill 149, which would exempt highschool seniors who meet certain requirements fromhaving to pass all five state exams to graduate. Themeasure from state Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, hasalready passed the Senate. It will now proceed to aconference committee where legislators will ironout minor differences between the two chambers.
Under the bill, panels made up of educators,counselors and parents will weigh factors likegrades, college entrance exam scores and atten-dance to decide whether a student should earn adiploma despite poor performance on state stan-dardized exams.
Those who support the measure say that it is notintended to give an easy pass to students who didnot do the work to get a diploma — but to providean option for those who otherwise would be grad-uating except for the fact that they've failed a stateexam.
But when the bill was heard in committee, someexpressed concern over the objectivity of a panelmade up of educators who might be docked in
school ratings if their students did not graduate.The plan has also received criticism from the TexasAssociation of Business and the Austin Chamber ofCommerce, which argue that it could lead to evengreater numbers of students graduating who arenot adequately prepared for careers or higher edu-cation.
About 28,000 students in the class of 2015 stillmust pass one or more of the five state exams inU.S. history, biology, algebra I, English I and Eng-lish II required to graduate. Of those in the class of2015 who need to retake exams, about half must re-take more than one.
Seniors could graduate without passing state exams

A Hero’s Welcome - Long OverdueIn a dazzling display of patriotism and gratitude
long overdue, Lockhart and Caldwell County cameout in force on Saturday to welcome home the dozensof area Vietnam-Era Veterans.
Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the end ofthe Vietnam Conflict, American Legion Post 41, Amer-ican Legion Post 177 and Veterans of Foreign WarsPost 8927 joined forces to host the first-of-its-kind cel-ebration at Lion Stadium, honoring and paying tributeto a generation of servicemembers who were largelymistreated and ignored by their country after servingin the fierce and fiery battles in Southeast Asia.
The celebration served as a reminder, not only forthe men and women that served, but for the commu-nity they returned home to, that the Vietnam Conflictwas simply a battle - a battle that they may have lost,but a salvo in the Cold War - in which they helped toearn a resounding victory.
Clockwise from top: Dozens of area Vietnam-Era Veterans were offered the place of honor at the 50-yard linein Lion Stadium, allowing the community to recognize and thank them for their service. From far and wide, sup-porters and patriots of all ages joined in the celebration with cheers, tears, signs of thanks and the waving flagsand love that was lacking when the soldiers returned home in the 1960s and 1970s. A cadre of bikers with theAmerican Legion Riders stood guard over the veterans as the community welcomed them home. American Le-gion Past National Commander John Brieden reminded his fellow service men and women that it is now theresponsibility to pave the way home for veterans serving in the Middle East, as the World War II veterans hadattempted to do for them. Hundreds in the crowd rose to their feet to join local talent Curtis Clay in his rendi-tion of Lee Greenwood’s “Proud To Be An American.” Capt. Dale Dye, USMC (Ret.), a part-time Lockhart res-ident and Hollywood’s leading military consultant, reminded his fellow Vietnam-Era veterans that they shouldtake pride in their service. Local singer Nicole Reyes opened the ceremony with her a capella “Star-SpangledBanner,” as the veterans looked on with pride and joy.

Photos by Kathi Bliss/POST-REGISTERAbove, Lady Lion Ileana Gonzales (1) makes a near miss at home plate as the Charger catcher considersher next move, during the Lady Lions’ 9-5 victory over Boerne-Champion on Monday night. Freshman McK-ade Krenz (13) got his start on the mound for the Lions during their win over the San Antonio KennedyRockets in the Lions’ Monday night make-up game. The Lions played their final home game of the seasonon Tuesday evening.
My late husband and Ihad been married lessthan a year the first timeit happened. I guess I wasjust too young and inex-perienced to realize that itwas going to be a life pat-tern.
He was an oilfield manand had been followingthe jobs wherever theywere. At last he had beenhired by a major oil com-pany (Humble, whichlater became Exxon). Wefelt stable enough to renta real house in the littletown of Pleasanton justsouth of San Antonio. Itwas very small—just onebedroom and a minuteliving room/kitchen. Butit had a yard, such as itwas.
The place had been va-cant awhile, and the yardwas all grown up inweeds. Not owning anytools or equipment, heborrowed a weed cutterfrom the company truck.This was before the in-vention of gas or electricweed eaters, and the toolwas just one step up fromthe scythe. In one after-noon he cut down theknee-high weeds fromour little space.
The next day he tradedthe weed cutter for ashovel, and after work hespaded an area for a gar-den. That was a gardenthat was never planted.Before the weekend, thecompany saw fit to trans-fer him to another loca-tion two hours away, andwe ended up in an apart-ment again for the nextyear or so. But that didn’tkeep him from buying abushel of tomatoes from afarmer. I canned tomatoesand made tomato sauceand catsup to last us foryears.
Another transfer tookus to the Houston area.We rented a house in thecountry that was sur-rounded by cotton fields.The old bug hit again. Heborrowed a tiller fromour landlord and pre-pared a large area of ourback yard for a garden.He bought some smalltomato plants and wentto work setting them out.By that time we had adaughter who was justwalking good. She lovedher daddy and wanted tobe wherever he was. Ilooked out the kitchenwindow and saw herwalking about six feet be-hind him pulling upevery plant he set out.
Before those plantsmatured, Humble was
building a gas plant inAtascosa County, and wewere transferred backthere to live in Pleasantonagain. It was there thatwe bought our first home.And we had another gar-den. After 13 years, hewent to another plant inthe Kingsville area. Webought a home there witha huge back yard. It wasideal for raising a family.We had swing sets, foot-ball games, cheerleadingpractice, and FFA chick-ens there.
It was after our threechildren were out of thenest that those farmingtendencies rose to the sur-face again. He turnedabout half of the backyard into a garden andplanted everything youcan imagine from pota-toes to green beans andpeas to peppers of all va-rieties. One time the pep-pers were crosspollinated and thejalapenos had no bitewhile the sweet greenpeppers would set yourmouth on fire.
And then there werethe tomatoes. I lovedthem. One year heplanted the Big Boy vari-ety as a fall crop. Theplants were covered withtomatoes as big as grape-fruit. We heard at churchone cold winter night thatthe temperature was todrop to the teens beforemorning. We went homeand gathered a bushel ofthose green tomatoes. Wewrapped them in news-papers and packed themin cardboard boxes. Forthe next two months, wewould unwrap a coupleof them at a time, bringthem into the house, andset them in the windowto ripen.
In the late spring be-fore school was out eachyear, everything got ripeat once. As a school li-brarian, that was mybusiest time of the year—preparing to shut downfor the summer, which in-cluded doing an inven-tory of all the books andaudio visual materials.When I got home in theafternoons, my husbandwould have producepicked and ready for meto prepare for the freezer.There were just the two ofus to eat it, and I began toresent this intrusion onmy time.
Our final move beforehe retired was back toPleasanton, where wewere to live the next 26years. When we were
shopping for homesthere, one of the things Ihad on my list of require-ments was a very smallback yard so he couldn’tplant a garden for a largefamily. We found one thatalready had asparagusand blackberries planted.It wasn’t long before hehad found a few feet in aflower bed and set outhalf a dozen tomatoplants. Under his tenderloving care, we pickedmore than we could useand kept our neighborssupplied. When we vis-ited our children wholived out of town, wewould take a flat of ripetomatoes with us.
There was one yearwhen his six tomatoplants produced madlyuntil the hot part of thesummer. We went to NewMexico on vacation andwhen we returned, theyappeared to be dead fromthe heat. He started wa-tering and cultivatingthem and soon we had anew crop—enough tohave fresh sliced toma-toes for the table.
Fast forward to 2007.Because of his ill health,we moved to Golden AgeHome in Lockhart. Hepassed away four monthslater, and I moved to TheGreens. I set out a coupleof tomato plants, andthey did not do well.Then a couple of years Itried those Topsy Turveytomato planters you seeadvertised on TV. I proba-bly spent $35 on thehanging container, pot-
ting soil, and plants. I gotabout four tomatoes aseason.
Then I turned to set-ting out plants in largecontainers that I set on alow brick wall near myfront door. Last year, Ihad one tomato on eachof two plants. One ofthem ripened, and Ibrought it in and ate it. Acouple of days later, I was

couple of days later, I wasbacking out of the carportand noticed that the other
one was almost ready topick. When I returned, Ifound that a squirrel hadbeat me to it.
Last fall, I set out somefall tomatoes. They wereblooming, and I was im-patiently waiting forsome of that lusciousjuicy fruit. In November,the yard man put all thepots in the green house. Ichecked on them all win-ter and always sawblooms but no fruit.When he returned themto the yard last month,there was one tomatosmaller than a golf ball. I
took it in, salted it, andate it in two or three bites.
It’s spring again, and Icouldn’t resist. I was atLowe’s last week when Isaw beautiful littletomato plants to set out.After a little wandering, Idiscovered a display ofwell-established plantsabout 18” tall, two to apot. The pot has a built-intomato cage. So here I amon another venture. Ismell the fragrance of theplant and can just almosttaste the final product.Wish me luck folks.

April showers maybring May flowers, butthe seven-plus inchesMcMahan has gotten inthe past week may be cov-ering up some of April’sflowers. We have beenblessed with lots of rain. Itwas two years ago, onApril 2 that the weird hailstorm hit. Roofs weredamaged and windowsbroken, but of course,McMahan survived.
Hundreds of peopleriding bicycles will de-scend on this little villageSaturday. McMahan’slocal pizza café,Whizzerville Hall, isagain hosting the rest stopfor the 100-mile ride fromAustin to Shiner, and fa-cilitating the registrationof the half-ride.

“From 1900 up to thepresent time McMahanbusiness has changedhands many times.Homer McGee, JohnWard, O.T. Moore andS.C. Hindman wereamong those who ownedstores, also John Brightand Johnnie Cole had gro-cery stores for a shorttime. At the present timeJames Chamberlain has ageneral merchandise storeand Mrs. James Chamber-lain is postmaster in theold Homer McGee build-ing. Curtis Jeffrey has afirst class garage and fill-ing station. The gin here isowned by J. W. Smith buthas been idle for the pastseveral years.” Quotesfrom James Chamberlain
in Lockhart Post-Register1947.
I asked Donald Jeffreywhat year his dad startedthe garage. Curtis Jeffreywas 20 years old when heopened his garage in 1926.I almost asked who hadthe/a garage before him,but realized that McMa-han didn’t have or needan automobile garage be-fore that time. Curtistaught himself to work onthe modern Model T vehi-cles as they joined thebuggies and wagons onthese country roads. Mr.Jeffrey was still fixingcars, pickups and tractorsin the 1970’s when I wasraising my children here.His cousin, Luther Jeffreywas still working withhim. Another cousin,Tilmon Jeffrey had movedon to town to mechanic at
Glosserman Chevrolet. From 1970 up to the
present time, McMahanbusiness has changedhands several times, butCurtis and Luther Jef-frey’s sons are still here.
Saturday evening,April 25, Curtis’s son,
Donald will be singing atLuther’s son, Roy’s, bar-beque café which is nextdoor to the old garage onthe corner of FM 713 andWhizzerville Road. Don-ald’s group, called “TheWhizzerville Pickers”will be jamming at R&G
BBQ around 6 p.m. Comehang out with the “old-timer survivors” ofMcMahan as well as new-comers, who have madeMcMahan home. (Let’shope I survive callingDonald and Roy “old-timers.”)
