stick address labels on a book
printed tor Bat Conservation Inter-

tour packets
Recycling is the workshop's lar-
gest money-making task. Current-
ly, workshop clients separate and
sell glass, paper, plastic and alu-
minum at their building on 1414
North Main in Bastrop.
They leave a trailer for recycled
materials at Tahitian Village on
Mondays. On Wednesday, they
pick up recycled trash from curb-
sides throught the city of Bastrop.
“The recycling project is paying
for itself,” Hays said. Part of the
income goes to the clients as wages
and some money goes to the Bas-
trop County Mental Retardation
Association to pay for the work-
shop's liability insurance, parties
and recreation for the clients.
Insurance for the workshop cost
S1400 a year. Hays said grimacing.
The workshop earns about $175
to $200 a month from their recy-
cling efforts. In January, paper sold
for one cent a pound. Hays said the
paper glut has dropped that to one-
quarter cent a pound.
Recently the workshop sold
24.000 pounds of paper to Acco
Waste Paper Company in Austin
for $56.
An aluminum can program start-
ed by the Jaycee Club at Bastrop
Correctional Institute brings the
workshop $19 a week, Ha vs said.
Because the workshop cannot
afford the gas to pick up recycled
trash all over the county. Hays'
hopes to place drop trailers at
volunteer fire departments

Smithville eyes new ambulance
ft
^ vC- m
m
The Smithville City Council is
contemplating the purchase of a
new ambulance or a major remount
of the present vehicle.
“The maintenance is pretty high
on the old one, and we thought it
might be a good time to check our
other options.” said Mayor Ver-
non Richards.
According to Harry Womack,
president of W and W Inc. of Se-
quin, a new EMS vehicle will cost
the city $60,000 but a remount, in-
cluding a new cab and chasis with
the existing box and brought up to
federal and state specification, will
cost only $32,(XX).
Council Members Vic Juliano
and Joe Robinette will examine the
issue further and report to the
council at the next meeting.
In other Council business August
13:
♦City Attorney Karl Maley ob-
jected to a proposed city junkyard
ordinance that mirrors Bastrop
County regulations and convinced
the council to delay implementing
the new rules.
Maley said the law has some
vague language which could lead

Vocational Workshop client Bill Moors crushes aluminum cans
to be sold for recycling.
In September, residents of west
Bastrop County can drop off recy-
cled garbage at a trailer at the 969
Volunteer Fire Department.
“Our goal is to put trailers all
over the place,” Hays said. “HEB
wants a drop trailer,” he added.
The workshop will soon receive
a $20,000 grant front the Gover-
nor’s Office, Hays said.
That money is earmarked for
two government-surplus pickups,
two or three trailers and a card-
board and plastic bailer. Hays said.
The workshop budget is tight,
though, he said. Hays, Kropp and
technical therapists Ruth Jones and
Dan Ricks are paid by the Travis
State School. TSS also pays for
utilities and a van.
The workshop, which has been
open at various locations in the
county for 18 years, leans heavily
for financial and physical help on
the Bastrop County Mental
Retardation Association.
“Without them, we'd have a
tough time” because the state is in
a cutback mode right now. Hays
said.
The Association raises funds for
the workshop with its annual bar-
becue dinner and auction in May.
Board President Janet Kirk-
patrick said the group plans to have
a car wash fundraiser on October
6 on the Walmart parking lot in
Bastrop.

The Rev! Kesselus noted that
despite the sadness, Kleber died on
his own farm in his beloved Bas-
trop County surrounded by all that
he loved.
Family and friends said, of his
many loves in life, his family was
his first love. He also had a spe-
cial love for animals and the land,
they said. Friends agree, Trigg’s
love for animals and land is proven
by his beautiful ranch and land.
Survivors include his wife,
Minifred Trigg of Bastrop; a son,
Kleber B. “Cheebe” Trigg and
wife, Martha, of San Marcos; a

Cunningham estimates income of
$379,870 to balance expenses for
the year.
For water operations the budget
estimates income of $1.9 million
including $1.25 million from sale
of revenue bonds to finance system
improvements.
Planned system improvements,
including a new water well near
Camp Swift, will cost the city some
$1.5 million in the coming year,
Cunningham said.
Also included in the budget are
plans to spend:
♦Some $50,000 to improve flood
control along north Hill Street with
work on a planned city materials
storage facility.
♦Some $100,000 for new equip-
ment including a police car, a com-
puter for city bookkeeping and
street department equipment.
♦Some $250,000 for street
repairs and new sidewalk con-
struction.
♦An estimated $96,000 for an
electric department pole truck.
JP court-
in the field before recommending
action to county commissioners.
He added that a decision about
dividing the precincts should be
made as part of ongoing budget
deliberations.
If commissioners separate
Precinct 1 & 3 they will also be
faced with appointing a judge for
the new precinct and budgeting for
a salary and office expenses.
“I don’t give a damn what they
do,” Henderson said. “It’s my last
term anyway.”
The term of Precinct 1 & 3 Con-
stable Carl White extends to Dec.
slated to fill the supervisory posi-
tion, said Police Chief Ronnie
Duncan.
The pay raise for salaried em-
ployees will cost the city $16,888
over the coming 12 months, Cun-
ningham said. Hourly wage em-
ployees will continue to earn merit
pay increases based on current city
policies, he said.
Cunningham’s budget proposal
estimates general fund revenues of
$2.4 million in the fiscal year be-
ginning Oct. 1, including $607,000
in transfers from electric utility
sales and $30,000 from water
sales.
The proposed budget calls for
general fund spending of $2.04
million.
On electric operations, Cunnin-
gham estimates revenue of almost
$3.4 million. He is proposing
spending some $3.3 million, in-
cluding capital improvements of
$146,000 and transferring
$607,000 to the general fund.

If the division takes place
White, like Henderson, would con-
tinue to serve in the precinct where
he lives and commissioners would
need to appoint a constable for the
other precinct, Penick said.
to charges of capricious and uneven
enforcement.
The Council tabled the issue and
asked Maley to rewrite the
ordinance.
♦Council members Joyce Klutts
and Vic Juliano reported to the
council that they are collecting
fireworks ordinances from area
cities to assist with writing a
fireworks ordinance for Smithville.
The Council tabled any action
until Klutts and Juliano can have
an ordinance ready for the coun-
cil’s September meeting.
Burglaries
probed
The Bastrop County Sheriff’s
Office reported a 17-foot travel
trailer valued at $700 was stolen
from a deer lease located five miles
south of Elgin'. The owners told
deputies that the trailer was taken
sometime before July 14.
The Bastrop County sheriffs
department also reported a home
on Texas 21 east of Bastrop was
burglarized between August 11 and
August 12. The thieves made off
with a TV, VCR and microwave.
No value was given on the items
lost.
Tools and equipment valued at
$610 were taken from a home in
the Route 1 area of Bastrop bet-
ween August 12 and August 13.
There are no suspects.
A home on Riddle road in Arte-
sian Oaks subdivision was
burglarized between August 10 and
August 12. Thieves made off with
$255 worth of miscelaneous
objects.

Placke ordered the 21st Judicial
District Probation Department to
complete a pre-sentence investiga-
tion to help determine whether
Johnson is a good candidate for
probation.
A pre-sentence investigation
typically takes about 30 days ,to
complete, Penick said.
Placke will schedule a date for
sentencing when the report is

members making $15,000 or more
a three percent increase and every-
one making under $15,000 a five
percent increase, leaving all other
agreements the same. He proposed
that this money should come out of
the fund balance. The board
agreed.
Board member Bill Voelker
called for taking the teacher pay in-
crease out of the $62,000 ear-
marked for a new track in the draft
budget. He proposed to leave
$10,000 in the track budget and ap-
ply the remaining $52,000 to the
raises.
His motion also passed the
board.
The board also agreed to let staff
members choose where to place
their insurance money.
In other business Wednesday,
board members decided to change
the present insurance to a self-
funding program. Insurance con-
sultant Ron Mullins said the pro-
gram shifts some of the risk to the
employees. It causes people to be
more realistic about how often they
use their plan, he said.
Mullins suggested the district use
the Boone-Chapman firm. This de-
cision passed on a 6-1 vote.
