Island AttorneyConfrms Water
District Does NotOwn Private IslandAs part o our continuing
investigation into the Landa Park
Estates Private Island claim, wemade ocial requests to the
secretary o
Comal County Water Recreation District #1 or
1) The deed to The Island, and
2) A copy o whatever local ordinance or
state law that gives District homeowners exclusiverights to The
Island and the Comal headwaters.
The District then did what any organizationthat has its ducks in
a row would do in this
situation, which was to hire a lawyer to get
between us and the acts o the matter.
The rst lawyer we dealt with had, just
like NBs psychic City Attorney Madame Val
Acevado, a history in Laredo, and, just likeNBs psychic City
Attorney Madame Val
Acevado, a somewhat questionable grasp on
logic. Then, just prior to press time, it came to
our attention that the issue had been transerred
to a ormer New Braunels City Attorney, themore ormidable Charlie
Zech, with whom we
have a riendly barb-hurling relationship with
on the Facebook. This might be too little, too
late, as weve already led our complaint with
the Texas Attorney General. Oops.
Anyway, heres a little taste o the
conversation we had with Zech, wherein heinadvertently makes it
clear that, in his opinion,
CCWRD #1 does not own The Island:Lets make sure we have a
separation
here, lets not confuse the issue, right, between
the District and the owners of the property, the
residents of the property, um, that, uh, that have
the easements and things of that nature that are
located All the deeds that are in the, uh, ugh,
excuse me, I just ate lunch, that are located, and
all the deeds that are located that are associated
with the properties that were purchased.
Theres two different things, the
CCWRD#1, it appears to me, I havent
taken the time to go down and look at what
the legislative history says in regards to, you
know, on that legislation. It looks to me like that
legislation was mostly created as a funding
mechanism to help keep those springs and
that area clear from weeds and debris. It
looks to me like the only thing the CCWRD#1
is, is a funding mechanism
Jackpot.
Well keep you posted.
Sympathy or the DevilLast Saturday, the
Houston-ownedHerald-Zeitung published what
could be the most ill-advisedletter-to-their-editor since
DougHarrison compared Tim Zipp to
Jesus Christ. It was rom RichardOdorer, a ormer
Vice-President
o our air citys German-AmericanSociety, who provided us with a
history
o Germanys contributions to humanity, whichincluded this
gem:
Finally, in 1941, the Germans invadedSoviet Russia to destroy
pagan communism, a
satanic regime that had killed tens of millions ofChristians,
including priests and nuns, and turnedchurches into stables. The
Soviets were buildingup an invasion force to sweep across Europe
todestroy Christianity and impose communism.
This was the entirety o Odorers reerenceto his 1940s era
Vaterland. No disclaimer orthe mischie that Herrs Goebbels,
Eichmann,Mengele and der Fuhrer himsel were responsibleor. And as
weve said rom zero day here atFirst Word, an act o omission is an
act o intent.
Now, we cant really blame the Herald orrunning the letter,
because its both damningand hilarious, but we can sure as heck
holdthem responsible or the headline they publishedit under, which
was the equally ill-advisedGermany, protector o Christian
civilization(sic). Truly, an unortunate choice o words.
For those o you not amiliar with thataorementioned period o
German history, theearly 1930s to mid-1940s were a time whenthe
leader o that country attempted to increaseChristian market share,
not through recruitingnew members as modern evangelicals do,
butrather by reducing the number o Europeanpractitioners o
something called Judaism.
Anyway, in the interest o accuracy, wecame up with a ew
headlines that we thoughtmight be more appropriate or Odorers
letter,should der Zeitung decide to rerun it or theirChristmas Eve
and/or Kristallnacht editions:
Third Reich Apologist Confrms MikeReynolds Suspicions Regarding
CertainLocals, Daily Newspaper
OrLocal Man Endorses Christianity, Practices
Ancestor WorshipOrLocal Man Praises Nazi Regime Fails to
Mention Train Schedules, GenocideAny o those will do nicely.

Major Developments in
Rathbun vs Scientology
Last Tuesday, Judge Dib Waldrip denied a motionby the Church o
Scientology International to
disqualiy a Comal County womans attorneys
in her lawsuit against the Church.
Monique Rathbun is accusing the
Church o Scientology International (CSI), the
Religious Technology Center (RTC) and Church
leader David Miscavige o orchestrating the
harassment against her
and husband, Mark
Marty Rathbun.
CSI argued a
motion beore Waldrip
on Sept. 13 to have
Monique Rathbuns
attorneys Ray Jerey,
Elliot Cappuccio
and Mark Wiegan
disqualied.
At issue is an
adavit that Marty
Rathbun led on
behal o his wie. In
his adavit, Rathbun
discussed attempts by
he and Miscavige in
the 1990s to nd an attorney in Texas with
close connections to judges. The attempt to
nd counsel was related to a wrongul deathlawsuit led by the
amily o Lisa McPherson,
a woman who died while under the care o
the Church.
CSI attorney George Spencer argued
in a Sept. 13 hearing beore Waldrip that
Marty Rathbuns revelations violate attorney-
client privilege and that Monique Rathbuns
attorneys should be disqualied or allowing
the release o such inormation. Jerey calledthe motion
garbage.
Spencer cited Texas Supreme Court
decisions that, he said, upheld that such
privileged inormation justied disqualication.
Waldrip, however, disagreed.
The Comal County district judge argued
that the cases cited by Spencer involved
employees o law rms or litigants who or
various reasons switch sides, i you will, mid-stream. Rathbuns
case, Waldrip said, did not
meet this criteria.
The judge also noted that the inormation
related by Marty Rathbun in his adavit is
not related to Monique Rathbuns lawsuit. The
inormation, Waldrip said, is not related tothe actual matters
involved in the instant
litigation. He also stated that none o the
inormation in the adavit shows evidence o
harm to the deense in the case at hand.
Waldrip also noted that there is no
evidence that Marty Rathbun is employed or
paid by his wies attorneys.
The judge pointed
out that the Texas
Supreme Court made
exacting standards
or disqualication o
attorneys and that none
o CSIs arguments
met those standards.
This is in part due,
Waldrip noted, to the
uniqueness o the case,
whereby a ormer
employee is now the
spouse o a plainti.
Also, since Rathbun
was an employee
more than 10 years
ago, he cannot still be
considered an employee o the Church.
On Wednesday, October 2, Actress Leah
Remini was subpoenaed in Monique Rathbunslawsuit against various
entities within the
Church o Scientology, according to the list o
lings with Comal County district courts.
Reminis public exit rom the Church made
headlines earlier this year, especially ater
she led a missing persons report on Shelly
Miscavige, the wie o Scientology leader
David Miscavige. Although Shelly Miscavige
has not been seen in public since 2006, theLos Angeles Police
Department said they made
contact with her, but wouldnt comment on
where or on her condition.
The next issues beore Waldrip regard
whether the court has jurisdiction over
Miscavige and the RTC, as well as turning
Monique Rathbuns temporary restraining
order into a temporary injunction. The court is
scheduled to reconvene on Oct. 18.

ADVICE FROM

Uncle Esel,
I am enclosing a picture o a shirt
I recently saw at a sporting event in
Houston. It struck me odd to see a young
girl who couldnt have been more than
eleven wearing a shirt with the message
Power to the Beaver on it, but it would
appear that she was walking hand-in-
hand with her ather. What the heck is
this ather thinking? Am I o track here
Uncle Esel, or is this just wrong?
Tanks,
Jacob
Dear Jacob,
Your picture really caught my attention
and while we dont print photos in this
column I still wanted to address it. When
I saw it I thought the shirt looked amiliar,
but I just couldnt place it. Well, at rst I
couldnt, and then I remembered and Ill get
to that in a second.This shirt is certainly lled with
innuendo
and Esel thinks that this dad is either not
even looking at what his daughter (we
assume) wears, or he has decided its not
inappropriate. Now, uncle Esel is not one to
mufe reedom o speech and Ive highlighted
another oensive shirt incident years ago
with NBPD, a Marilyn Manson shirt and the
ACLU. In this case though a very young girl
is involved and this is a boundary we should
just not be crossing. Shame on this ather or
allowing this to happen.
So about that shirt, Ill assume you never
got in ront o this girl. You see, this shirt has
a very prominent beaver on the ront and was
sold at a Buc-ees. Yep, the very same mega-
gas station we have here. Uncle Esel did not
take the time to see i this shirt is available here
locally, but it wasnt uncommon years ago
to be able to get pornography at most gas
stations, so no surprise they are peddling these
suggestive shirts and calling them cute. Makes
Esel wonder i the whole Buc-ees beaver thing
wasnt some raternity joke that took o and
became successul.
Love, K
Dear Esel,
Tere was a picture on the internet
o a man with a nose being grown on
his orehead. Is this even possible or
was this another internet ake like you
always caution us on?
Pete
Dear Pete,
This one is very genuine and not a
Photoshop ake. The man had cartilage
taken rom his rib area and placed in the
orm o a new nose so it could grow and
get inused with new blood vessels romhis orehead. We wonder i
the city council
could use a similar technique to grow a
collective spine and actually select a new
outside hire or city manager that has no ties
to the last city manager.
Love, K
Dear Readers in General,
In response to several questions asking
i the ederal government shutdown is the
ault o: Democrats, Republicans, Obama,
the Mayor. Okay so all our choices brought
up have one thing in common. They are
ineective as heck.
To be air, the Mayor has plenty oblame or the taxes and
ineective local
government, but nothing to do with the
DC shutdown. That alls squarely on the
squabbling hypocrites in Congress and an
arrogant President. It comes to is the Dems
want to take rom the many and give to the
ew and the Republicans just want to take.
The biggest losers are all o us and until
Americans actually threaten revolt it will go
on like this.
Love, K
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, sendyour question to Uncle Esel
at: [email protected] sure to write Question or Uncle Esel
in the subjectline o your email.

The Texas heat is gone and the much awaited cold ront has
arrived. The leaves are changing
color somewhere ar north o here and the pumpkin patches are
popping up on almost every
corner. Its time or everything to be pumpkin favored and pumpkin
scented, including your butter!
I love this recipe because it is so versatile. Serve it on warm
baguette bread when your
little Halloween goblins come home rom trick-or-treating all
tired and hungry. Place it on thebreakast table Thanksgiving
morning instead o jam and then serve it on the coee table later
that day with cream cheese and hearty crackers or an amazing
ootball game snack. Finally,
add it to your Christmas eggnog to give it a tis the season!
kick! Your pumpkin butter will be
a hit at home and at holiday parties or the next three
months!
Pumpkin Butter One5-6lbssugarpumpkin
1quartapplecider
Preheat oven to 350. Rinse pumpkin
and split it in hal rom top to bottom with a
large knie. Scoop out the insides including
the seeds. Separate the seeds and reserve
them or roasting later. Place pumpkin halves
pulp side down in a roasting pan and pour
enough apple cider in the pan to cover the
bottom o the pumpkin; about inch. Roast
pumpkin halves or about 1 hour or until skin is
easily pierced with a ork. Scoop out the pulp
and place in a large bowl. Discard pumpkinskin. Puree with a
stick blender until smooth.
(You may substitute this step with 5-6 cups o
canned pumpkin puree but do not use canned
pumpkin pie lling.)

Add all ingredients to a large thick bottom pot or Dutch oven,
and blend completely. Cover
loosely allowing steam to escape and simmer on low or 30 minutes
or until thickened to a
consistence o a spread. I it looks like an apple sauce then you
need to let it simmer longer.
Remove rom heat and allow spread to cool to room temperature.
Place in clean containers
or sterile Mason jars, cover, and rerigerate. Use or up to one
week. The USDA recommends
AGAINST canning pumpkin butter.
The uses o pumpkin butter are endless and limited only by your
tasty imagination. Use
pumpkin butter in pies, soups, and cream sauces. Your holiday
guests and amily will love
spreading it on warm toast, pancakes, wafes, and it can even be
used in coee or your own
homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte. Feel ree to e-mail me or my
Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe and
instructions on how to roast pumpkin seeds.

Apocalypse LiteHere we are. Again. Ater many long months o
opportunities or our dickering representatives
in the House and the Senate (Ill leave the
President out o this or the moment) to work
together and develop a logical budget or
the country, we are into our rst week o a
government shutdown.
I havent elt a thing.
There was the preemptive ear mongering
by both political parties and the media, but
thats all over now. The sky did not all aspredicted. People are
not dying in the streets.
Crime is no more rampant than it was beore.
The end is probably still nigh, but how many
hours are there in a nigh anyway? Truth be
told, the ederal government, that has spent
most o its time and energy over the last two
hundred years or so making itsel ubiquitous in
the lie o the average American, has barely
been missed. And there are some pretty logical
reasons or that.First, a government shutdown is really
not a government shutdown. The Republicans
have called it a government slimdown, but
even this is misleading. About 70 percent o
government spending is mandatory, meaning
that it happens without actually being budgeted
or. There is no need or a continuing resolution
to handle the appropriations or this spending
because it has already been decided.
Without some sort o overt action by
government, there is no way to avoid this
spending. That leaves only about 30 percent
o governmental unctions that are not covered,
and o this, military spending has already
been handled in a separate appropriations
bill which was already passed. Even what
remains does not immediately shut down.
Several agencies and programs (WIC being
one example) have surpluses that can keepthem going or a while
longer i necessary.
This is a slimdown in the same sense that my
orgoing the ourth donut or breakast is a
slimdown. In other words, nothing o the sort.
Second, a good deal o what government
does is less than useul in the rst place. One
need look no urther than our current situation
to see that. An active attempt to show just how
heinous a government shutdown is results in
careully planned closures o national parks
and monuments. (Is that really the best they
can do?) In most cases, these closures require
more eort than keeping the attraction in
question open. Aging World War II vets arebarricaded or the
memorial in Washington,
scenic overlooks are blocked o, parks that
require no actual supervisory orce are closed
and guarded. (In one case, the government
tried to shut down a section o ocean.) I this
is meant to show me the extent o the carnage
when the government is ripped away rom its
protective role, Im less than impressed.
Certainly there are some people whoare being hurt by the
shutdown, most notably,
the people who have been laid o because
o it. Again, this is a small percentage o the
governments actual workorce, but it does
come to some 800,000 individuals who are
not currently collecting a paycheck.
Fear not, though. These people wont
be out o work orever. They will be back
to working at their non-essential jobs just
as soon as our representatives can get theiract together and
agree on how to und
the government. In act, it seems likely that
they can even count on getting paid or this
little vacation. The House Republicans have
already agreed that these workers should be
given their back pay as soon as an agreement
is reached, and it seems unlikely that the
Senate Democrats will shoot that down.
At the moment, this ght is over whether
or not to und the Aordable Care Act
(Obamacare). But Republicans have cleverly
oered several appropriation bills that would
und various services including this oer or
back pay. In act, Republicans have oered a
way or all o government to be unded with
the exception o Obamacare. Democrats, not
surprisingly, have a problem with this. Even
so, I would be surprised i Harry Reid and the
Democrats in the Senate reused the idea tomake hapless
government employees caught
up in this ght whole once its all over.
More troubling than any o this is the
act that government is pushing up against
the debt ceiling again, and it looks like this
will also become a political ootball. At least
it seems more troubling i you listen to the
talking heads in the media blather on. As o
this writing, October 17th is the drop dead
date or when the government runs out o
money altogether.
Like we were with the government
shutdown, we have been assured that this
represents an existential crisis to the UnitedStates o America.
I the eds arent allowed to
put more on their credit card, we can expect
the seas to boil and re to rain down rom the
sky. At precisely 12:01 a.m. on the 18th, i
congress does not act, the government will
evaporate in to a black hole o debt, and our
entire economy will cease to exist.
We can be pretty sure none o that
will happen.
What will happen is that the government
will be suddenly orced to nd some way to live
within its means. That doesnt sound so terrible,
but it does have some drawbacks. Currently
we operate with a decit o about 1.5 trillion
dollars a year, and without some way to
borrow that something will need to be cut.
The current scare tactic is to suggest that
we will deault on our debt obligations, that
without the ability to borrow even more money,we will not be
able to pay the interest on what
we have already borrowed. This is nonsense,
o course. Things are bad, but they arent quite
that bad. We have plenty o money coming in
rom taxes monthly to cover any maintenance
on the debt that is required. What we dont
have money or is everything else, and this is
what really scares politicians.
I the debt ceiling is not raised, the shortall
o money will encompass just about all o our
discretionary spending (perhaps even a bit more).
That means that while we could conceivably
cover the responsibilities o things like Medicare
and Social Security, there would be no money or
much o anything else (like a military or actually
running the country). This puts the politicians on
both sides in something o a box. Someone will
actually have to start deciding what our priorities
are and start paying or them with cash on hand.Someone will have
to lead.
This is the scenario Im rooting or. The
act that it would require actual leadership
and responsibility are reason enough to be
certain it wont happen, though. Look around
Washington and ask yoursel, who have we
elected that is prepared to take on that type o
task? Oh well, I can always dream.
