The pace of interest in the upcoming Bellville ISD Board of
Trustees election quickened considerably as Wednesday's
deadline for filing approached. School Board elections have
usually been quiet when things are running smoothly, but get
heated quickly at the first sign of controversy. Bellville's activity
this year brings back memories of the days of the big
back-breaker bond election attempts of about 8 years ago. A
combination of two or three issues at the minimum will probably
be heard of quite frequently in the weeks before the vote. There is
unhappiness over the unnecessary re-hashing and harping about
a modest number of transfer students entering the district and the
Judgement of charging them a tuition that in the long run, will
cause a net loss of moneys to the district. Also looming is major
unhappiness about the judgement of some board members
wanting to sell school land that was given to the schools. Another
that is bound to surface is the heavy administrative trend taken in
recent years. There's a worn-out old saying of “Where there’s
smoke, there's a fire. With one incumbent already declining a
re-run, a potential for change in the one-vote ruling majority
appears as a possibility. Time will tell on tliis one, but there ought
to be some interesting discussions aired, because the potential for
a change is always a challenge.... The out-of-control stampede of
legislators and other supposedly public officials to apologize for
criminals by saying “the gun made them do it” would be a
comedy if it were not so serious. Not anywhere in their babblings
is there a hint of blame placed on people who misuse firearms.
Folks might suggest that instead of calling them “gun control
advocates” they ought to be called the “pro-criminal element.”
People who are genuinely afraid of hysteria that might end up in
grabbing guns from law abiding citizens who enjoy hunting and
shooting have some hope that the stranglehold that element holds
on the media will be broken soon. Some Texans are actually
planning a rally at the south side of the Texas Capitol Building on
Saturday afternoon, April 1 to let the Legislators know that there
are plenty of voters who want criminals pursued rather than
hasseling citizens who own guns.

With the official arrival of spring

underway at New Ulm’s Firemens

Cubs beating the Giddings Indians
7-2 in high school baseball action.
It was the first of several high
school games and tournaments on
tap at the local field.
The RT-C Cubs return to New Ulm
on Tuesday evening, March 28, to
host the Fayetteville Lions in a
matchup of two traditional rivals in
what promises to be an excellent
ballgame. Game time is 7:00 p.m.
In Monday's game here, the RT-C
Cubs jumped to an early 2-0 lead in
the first inning and were never
headed as they ended with a 7-2
victory over the Giddings Indians.
Craig Bauer went the distance on
the hill for the Cubs, scattering two
hits and striking out 10. Several
streaks of wildness (11 walks) did
keep him in hot water on occasions.
On offense, the Cubs racked up 7
hits that included a triple by Melvin
Dallmeyer, a double by Jason Stork
and singles by Bauer, Blake Goehr-
ing, Tim Gest, Blaine Koehl and
Chris Resario.
Giddings scored in the 2nd and
fifth innings. Joe Lopez slammed a
double to offensively lead the In-
dians.

Mahon, speaking for the Budget
Review Committee, said that the
committee ted recommended a
tuition of $200 per child and a $300
per family amount
First, John Pechacek moved, with
a second by Charlene Wehring, that
the tuition be $1 per year. It failed
2-5.
Next Dr. Greg Buenger moved,
seconded by Pechacek, that the
committee’s recommendation be de-
nied and that no fee be charged.
That failed 3-4.
Next Annye King moved, second-
ed by Jim Hill, that the tuition be
charged all new transfers with
current students and families get-

Once again John Pechacek tried,
moving that the whole recommen-

failed 3-4.
Then came the clincher. Mahon
moved and Dr. Christophe Gay
