A local craftsman has spent the past three weeks in a life and death fight against COVID-19. Dustin Lauw was admitted to the ICU and placed on a ventilator a week ago. He remains on the ven-tilator as of presstime this edition, but has made great progress. However, Lauw has suf-fered kidney damage as a result of effects of Covid-19. A Go Fund Me page has been established for the Lauw family as they deal with medical and other bills that are adding up during the coming days. If you would like to donate, please vis-it https://www.gofundme.com/f/dustin-lauw-medical-relief Lauw is a well-known
and sought-after bootmaker, learning the trade from Duck Menzies. Lauw is the owner and bootmaker of Duck’s Heritage Cowboy Boots on Brewer Road in Salado. He was featured on the cover of the Salado: A Jewel in the Crown of Texas maga-zine, published by Salado Village Voice for the second quarter 2019 edition. Lauw was 20 years old when he walked into Duck Menzies’ boot shop in Bel-ton to order his first pair of custom made cowboy boots. Lauw was considering be-coming a saddlemaker, but his encounter with Duck turned into a lifelong bond between mentor and ap-prentice. That first pair fit so well, Lauw ordered another
and while he watched the boots take shape he realized that what he really wanted to do was make custom, hand-made cowboy boots. Men-zies agreed to teach him and Lauw never looked back. There is a level of skill involved in the mechanics of shaping a custom boot. But the true mark of a master is in the artistry. “Duck called me a top man.” says Lauw. One look at his handiwork and you will understand why. He is a master crafts-man when it comes to stitch-ing and inlay work. Clients meet with Lauw to determine a personal de-sign, choose colors and types of leather. Top stitching on a custom cowboy boot is done with a single-needle ma-
chine, and it’s done one row at a time. Lauw guides the leather through the machine and lines up the rows of colored thread next to each other, about 1/32 of an inch apart. Inlay combines mul-tiple layers of shaped and cut leather into that process. Top stitching patterns are like calling cards for bootmakers. A pair of boots takes about 38 hours from start to finish at Duck’s Heritage Cowboy Boots. Each pair is hand cut and formed on a last that matches the shape of each client foot to insure a comfort that you just cannot get off the shelf. It may be some time be-fore Dustin is able to return to the craft that he loves and that puts bread on his table.

Salado aldermen will consider proposing a 2021-22 general operating budget that is 12.9% more than the previous year, despite a pro-posed property tax that is 4¢ lower than last year. The Mayor’s proposed budget was posted earlier this week and aldermen will take it up at their 6:30 p.m. Aug. 5 meeting. The 2021-22 proposed general operating budget estimated property tax rev-enues at $440,431.62. Actual general operating property tax revenues for the current year are $465,019.33. Alder-men approved a 2021 gener-al operating budget built on $414,007.51 in property tax revenues. The other main stream of income is sales tax rev-enue. The proposed bud-get estimates an increase of 13% in sales taxes, from $577,702.86 to $650,772.00. Mixed beverage taxes are estimated at $25,000, an in-crease of 19% on the current year. Tax revenues total $1.1 million for the proposed bud-get, more than 10% above the current year. The proposed budget maintains franchise fees at $240,000 with more than half ($135,000) coming from electric utility franchise fees. The proposed budget in-creases revenues from licens-es, permits and other fees to $87,400, about 46% higher than the current fiscal bud-get. Actual revenues for this fund has been $123,370.07 this fiscal year. Service fees are budgeted slightly higher than the cur-rent year at $27,060.00 Total general fund rev-enues is estimated at $1.6 million, about 10% more than the current fiscal year budget. General fund expendi-tures are another story. The administration department is budgeted at an increase of 37% to $318,083.69, driven by the addition of an assis-tant village administrator. Service expenses increase 3% to $32,860.22.
The Village will spend $130,500 for professional fees in 2021-22. In other services and charges, the village bud-get will increase 46%, from $72,410 to $105,542.28, driven by a $15,000 expense for the Village website and increase from $8,600 to $23,437.28 for Special Proj-ects. The Development ser-vices department will cut expenses about 5% to $105,902.75. Due to the formation of the Emergency Services District, the Village will eliminate its $50,000 annual contract with the Salado Vol-unteer Fire Department. The police department expenses increase 18% to $598,387.46, driven by $38,797.72 increase in sala-ries to officers, $14,302.48 increase in technology and a $23,710.25 increase in capi-tal outlay for police depart-ment equipment. The public works depart-ment will remain the same at $487,728.21. The parks department will decrease expenses by cutting $10,000 from contracted ser-vices for park maintenance. The street department will decrease from $273,000 to $265,000. The general operating budget will have a deficit of $120,000 covered by the fund balance. The hotel occupancy tax budget estimates $240,000 in tax revenues, despite the cur-rent fiscal year showing only $126,445.52 in occupancy taxes through three quar-ters. The department will spend $128,542.30 on per-sonnel services, $18,204.00 for lease, $70,000.00 for marketing, $21,000.00 in support of the Cultural Arts District and $35,000.00 for the new Community Grant Program. To cover the defi-cit, $36,746.30 will be trans-ferred from the HOT fund balance. The wastewater budget will be deficit in the com-ing budget cycle. The pro-posed budget estimates $253,808.52 in monthly sewer fees. Expenses are es-timates at $291,76804, with
$160,920.00 of it for the maintenance contract. To cover the deficit, it is esti-mated that $37,924.52 will be transferred from the gen-eral fund. The current fiscal year wastewater budget is at a def-icit of almost $150,000 with three more months left. To date, the wastewater expens-es have been $293,533.61 (almost $80,000 more than budgeted) while revenues have been $146,912.18. The interest and sink-ing fund budget is also at a deficit. The proposed 2021-22 budget estimates $678,903.56 in revenues and $753,437.00 in expenses to cover the sewer bond debt. To cover the $75,533.44 deficit, $78,849.65 will be transferred from the general fund. The proposed budget in-cludes some $587,252.70 in American Relief Act Plan funds and expenses for capi-tal outlay. What those ex-penses are has not been out-lined in the budget.
saNcTuary NorTh In other business, alder-men will consider the pro-posed construction plat for Salado Sanctuary, North Tract located near the inter-section of FM 2268 and In-terstate 35 in Salado. The proposed construc-tion drawings include an extension connecting Main Street to FM 2268. The drawings can be found on saladotx.gov.
salado ceNTer Aldermen will conduct a public hearing and con-sider action on a proposed economic development agreement with Pampa In-vestments, LLC to annex approximately 64 acres at the corner of FM 2484 and Interstate 35. The agreement proposes that at the time of voluntary annexation of the 64 acres into the Village, that the village purchase the 25,000 gallon per day waste-water treatment plant and the wastewater collection sys-tem for the property at a cost of $5.5 million and waive more than $3 million in im-pact fees.
Bell County officials an-nounced Aug. 2 that the Vehicle Registration Office in Temple was closed after multiple staff members test-ed positive for COVID-19. The office will remain closed through the end of the week. The offices in Belton, Fort Hood, and Killeen remain open. Bell County Tax Asses-sor-Collector Shay Luedeke made the decision to close the Temple office after he learned of the positive tests Aug. 2. “The office had to be closed due to the number of COVID-19 positive test re-sults among our staff,” Lu-edeke said. “We apologize for the inconvenience, but the health and safety of our employees and clients is our
Temple vehicle registrationoffice closed due to Covid-19
highest priority.” Luedeke consulted with both Bell County Judge Da-vid Blackburn and officials from the Bell County Public Health District on how best to proceed. All the employees with positive tests have been in-structed to stay home and recuperate. The remaining staff have been asked to iso-late and only return to work after a period of quarantine and a subsequent negative test. Bell County staff in neighboring offices were made aware of the situation Monday evening and are fol-lowing guidance from the Bell County Public Health District, depending on levels of exposure. All Vehicle Registration appointments for the Temple
office have been cancelled until Aug. 9. However, appointments can still be made for either the Belton or Killeen offices by visiting the Bell County Tax Assessor-Collector web-site at https://www.bellcoun-tytx.com/county_govern-ment/tax_assessor-collector/index.php According to the Bell County Health District web-site, there are 1,099 active COVID-19 cases. There have been 24,602 COVID-19 cases with 23,032 recover-ies. There have been 471 deaths. The occurence rate in Bell County is at 302.88 per 100,000 people. The county has moved into Stage 2: Sig-nificant uncontrolled com-munity transmission.

The Markets In the face of surprising-ly high corporate earnings reports, government crack-downs on corporations in China, and soaring COVID infection and hospitalization rates, the highly conflicted S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) rose to a new record high on Monday, swooned on Tues-day, climbed Wednesday to another new, new intraday high, then sagged again on Friday to end the week at 4395.26, down 0.37%. It re-mains up over 17%, year-to-date, up one percent for the month of July, and a whop-ping 34% from this time last year. The CRSP Mid-Cap Value Index, showing that the market doesn’t always follow the major indices, soared on Thursday, then dipped a bit to close out the week at 2438.15, up 0.95% for the week and 18.81% this year. In short, large, growth stocks took a bit of a hit this week, but smaller, value stocks came back in favor. The yield on the bench-mark ten-year U.S. Treasury note fell 4% to 1.228%, its lowest rate since February. The T-note yield is now down about 30% from its high in March but still up 34% from the beginning of the year. Those figures demonstrate just how con-flicted the market is about whether the economy is running too hot or about to slump in the face of sup-ply constrictions and the COVID Delta variant. Some of the decline in rates too can be credited to the up-coming battle over whether to extend the debt ceiling, as some Republicans have sug-gested they are unwilling to raise it to cover the bills passed this year and last by Congress. As a result, the Treasury is issuing few T-notes as it draws money from its reserves at the Fed. In the absence of new sup-ply, high demand for dol-lar-based, U.S. government securities is forcing prices up and rates downward. Ironically, interest rates may be falling because the government is borrowing
too little money to meet the demand of those who want to loan it. West Texas In-termediate crude oil (WTI) prices seemed to completely ignore all the dire prognosti-cations and rose steadily all week to $73.72 per barrel, up 2.15% for the week as demand continued to grow for petroleum products. The Economy The economic news this week was dominated by re-ports of record earnings by major corporations, rising household spending, and a clear and present danger of a resurgence in COVID in-fections, hospitalizations, and deaths putting a damper on economic growth. That storyline was punctuated by the “advance estimate” announcement by the Com-merce Department’s Bu-reau of Economic Analysis (BEA) that the economy “only” grew at an annual-ized rate of 6.5% in the sec-ond quarter, well below the 8.7% consensus prediction. For reference, 1st quarter growth was 6.3%. The second quarter growth represents an amaz-ing 13% growth in US GDP on an annual basis. One of the major problems we face in both the U.S. and global economies is that large a growth in spending and buy-ing is well beyond the ca-pacity of the manufacturing, logistics, and service infra-structure to meet. Not only did U.S. personal consump-tion, the primary economic driver in our economy, dra-matically decrease a year ago, when it came back, it exceeded the pre-pandem-ic spending levels, but had shifted significantly to new products and services. The result has been a “whiplash effect” as things like houses, lumber and used cars were suddenly in double or triple the demand seen before the
pandemic. Meanwhile, the support structure for work-ers, things like daycare for children and transportation resources, have not recov-ered. Then there are the sec-ondary effects. For exam-ple, in some places where lower wage workers are in the highest demand, housing and rental cost have soared to the point that the work-ers to fill those jobs can’t afford to live in commuting distance. The economic sys-tem is whipsawing back and forth producing bursts of good and bad news. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy is now officially larger than it was before the pandemic hit, and still grow-ing at an astonishing rate. Durable goods orders rose in June at a 9.6% annualized rate while the critical capi-tal goods orders (business long-term investment) in-creased at a 6% rate. So far, a near record 90% of S&P 500 companies reporting earnings have beat estimates for the second quarter. The Conference Board Consum-er Confidence Index rose to 129, and survey respondents were generally optimistic and suggested they were ready willing and able to continue to fuel the expan-sion. New jobless claims fell to 400,000 last week, a new pandemic low, but still nearly double was we saw pre-pandemic. We are, and likely will continue to hit speed bumps, but the underlying indica-tors continue to point to sub-stantial long-term growth, well above what we saw over the last decade. Buckle your seat belts though. Pro-jections are that the number of COVID hospitalizations will rise into October when they may be as high as we saw in February. More, we are not yet through the sup-ply logjams and shortages, so more whiplash is likely.
Corporations report record earnings; household spending up; U.S. economy grew 6.5%
The COVID-19 numbers have been increasing again across our state and coun-try over the past few weeks. Active cases in Bell County rose to more than 900 last week, which is the highest number since February.Patients with COVID-19 now take up 14.12% of the hospital beds in our trauma service area. This is the second highest rate in the state and is only behind the 15.1% rate for the Beau-mont/Galveston trauma area. The overwhelming majority of those hospital-ized for COVID-19 are un-vaccinated. Of the 8,787 people who have died in Texas due to COVID-19 between Febru-ary and July, only 43 (0.5%) of them were vaccinated. Nearly 75% of those 43 un-vaccinated people had an underlying health condition and 95% of them were 60 years of age or older. Thus, 99.5% (8,744 of the 8,787) of the people who died in Texas due to
COVID-19 between Febru-ary and July were unvacci-nated. I highly encourage everyone 12 years of age and older to consider getting the vaccine if you have not already done so. We are partnering with Baylor Scott & White to offer the Pfizer vaccine from 12:00 noon until 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 12, and Thursday, Septem-ber 2. This will take place at Salado Middle School, which is located at 1169 Williams Road in Salado. The vaccine is provided free of charge and you do not need to register in advance to participate. Anyone be-tween the age of 12 and 17 will need a parent or guard-ian present to sign a consent form.
To help Baylor Scott & White plan for the number of vaccine doses and nurses to have here on August 12, it would be helpful for any-one planning on participate to complete a one question survey at the following web-site:ht tps: / / forms.gle/wPK-4creN8naXtBXWA This survey only asks how many people in your household plan on getting the vaccine on August 12. It does not ask for your name or any personally identi-fiable information. Even if you don’t complete the survey, you are welcome to participate and get the vaccine at Salado Middle School between 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m. on August 12 and September 2.
Salado ISD will offer two dates for residents to get Pfizer vaccines
Dear Editor: July 29th, Thursday af-ternoon, one of my neigh-bors suffered a stroke. The ambulance was delayed coming from Temple (which meant the crew wasn’t fa-miliar with Salado roads) because an EMT had to get out of the unit and move construction barrels on the Salado Plaza construction site, then determine a cor-rect route in order to get going again. There were no construction crew members on duty. In a medical emer-gency, seconds count. As a “qualified and rep-utable” road construction company, a contractor must have detours with clear-ly marked signs in place during construction! Such signs are not just for con-venience of usual traffic but for emergencies. These detours must be changed accordingly as construction proceeds. I haven’t seen any yet. Have we signed up with another sloppy compa-ny that doesn’t care about
the safety of our citizens by not keeping up to date on the detours needed to get to homes and places of busi-nesses? Also, the current contract states that work will be done between 7 A.M. and 6 P.M. There were no personnel on the job at 1:00 P.M. that day who could have assisted the ambulance crew and then wouldn’t have wasted pre-cious seconds/minutes with EMT personnel having to move barricades and oth-er road blocks while trying getting to a critically ill pa-tient. The next emergency could be YOU! Be afraid, be very afraid and hope it’s not you or someone else needing emergency care that requires such actions by
EMTs in order to get to you. A responsible company lives up to its specifically worded contract. I am sick and tired of this beautiful village being treated like a second class member of Central Texas. To our aldermen and city manager: Now what? Will you take actions with the construction company to make sure it is follow-ing its contract with us and providing safe accesses? In other words, be responsible? Or will you wait for anoth-er incident such as the one above?

Tom Berrier and Janie Brinkley were introduced to one another in 1968 by one of Janie’s cousins, who en-couraged her to “marry an Aggie”. 2 ½ years later, on July 24, 1971, the two mar-ried in McGregor, Texas. They moved to Salado in 1983 and made it their home. Janie retired from Killeen ISD in 2004 after teaching Pre-K for 34 years. Tom retired from the Bell County Engineer’s Office in 2012, after 41 years. Tom and Janie have both served the Community as Volunteers since moving to Salado. Janie volunteered at Salado ISD, reading to chil-
dren, for many years. Tom volunteered his time with the Bell County Livestock Show Arena for over 20 years and both continue to serve the Salado Volunteer Fire Department whenev-er needed. Tom also helps maintain the grounds at the Salado Fire Department Sta-tion 2 on FM 2484.
Tom and Janie have a Son and a Daughter, Shane and Shana, both of which live in Salado. They have 2 Grandchildren, Kaylee (17) and Ethan (3). A celebration was held in their honor on July 24 with Friends and Family in atten-dance. Happy 50th Anniver-sary, Tom and Janie!

GREAT EXPECTATIONS
There are players who see every hand through rose-colored glasses. Optimism certainly has its place in bridge and will usually pay hand-some dividends when there is a sound basis for it, but the fact remains that an ace is an ace and a deuce is a deuce, regardless of who holds them.
It is clear that South in this deal was
a full-fledged member of the Opti-mists Club. He had an excellent hand, to be sure, but he obviously looked upon his three spade losers as some-thing the good Lord would surely take care of — and he even carried this conviction to the point of redou-bling East’s double of six hearts!
One thing that can be said about the habitual overbidder is that he is usu-ally a pretty good cardplayer. He gets so much more practice playing con-tracts that are seemingly out of reach that he becomes highly proficient at getting the most out of his cards. Our declarer in this deal was no exception.
He won the spade lead with the ace and played a low trump to the jack, revealing the 5-0 trump division. Undaunted, South cashed the A-K-Q of clubs, discarding a spade from dummy.
He then played four rounds of dia-monds, disposing of his two spade losers. By this time nine tricks had been played, and declarer had won them all. East and South now each had four trumps, while dummy still had the 10-5.
Declarer next led a spade from dummy, and when East ruffed with the seven, South underruffed with the three! East’s low trump return ran to dummy’s ten, and South’s A-Q took the last two tricks to make six hearts redoubled!

Temple College Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) program has scholar-ships available that can help adult learners earn certifica-tion in high-demand fields. Students can apply now to take advantage of the scholarships any time during the 2021-2022 aca-demic year. “Securing a scholarship up to a year before a pro-gram starts gives students more time to plan for their return to school and meet any pre-requisites for the
program they are interested in,” said AEL Career Path-ways Program Manager Javier Ruiz. Training programs that can be covered by these scholarships include Clin-ical Medical Assistant, Certified Nurse Aide, EKG Technician and Phleboto-my Technician. Programs are offered through Tem-ple College’s Business and Continuing Education Divi-sion. Scholarships for these programs cover the entire
cost of tuition as well as certification testing fees. Scholarship recipients also receive additional training in adult basic education con-textualized to fit their core field, as well as soft skills and workforce preparation training. For more information on the Direct Your Destiny Certification Scholarships, contact Ruiz at 254-298-8578 or [email protected], or contact Marcia Temple at 254-298-8626 or [email protected].

Ashley MAlMin Education and Certifica-tions University of Texas at Austin; EC-6 Gen-eralist with an ESL Supple-mentalTeaching Experience: 4 years Subjects and Grade Lev-els: 2nd grade- All subjects WhyaTeacher?:Myfirstmemory of becoming inter-ested in teaching took place in my kindergarten class-room in Spring, Texas. Each of us had been given a cater-pillar to observe during our unit over life cycles, and all of my classmates’ cocooned caterpillars were beginning to hatch. Everyone’s but-terflieslookedbeautiful,butmine had yet to move. At all. Fast forward to the last day of school, and my cat-erpillar still hadn’t moved. At the end of the day, my teacher pulled me aside and “pinky promised” me she would watch over my cater-pillar until the day it decided to hatch. I happily agreed and forgot all about my but-terflywithin aweek.How-ever, later that summer, a postcard arrived in the mail frommybutterflytellingmethat it was a “late bloomer,” andwasoff tofind the restof itsbutterflyfriends fromour class. Years later I found out my caterpillar had actu-
ally died, but the moral of the story goes beyond that. Even after the school year was over and she gained a new set of kinder babies, my teacher persisted in making sure I felt included. Although I was too young toconfidentlydecidewhichcareer path I wanted to take, something sparked inside of me that made me passionate about education and making a difference in children’s lives. From my first day ofkindergarten to graduating from the University of Tex-as at Austin, I realized my true passion and happiest memories were (and contin-ue to be) created inside the classroom.

Salado High School Lady Eagles Cross Country runners began official team practices on July 26. “The girls have been logging miles, on their own and as a team, all sum-mer and are excited to get the season started,” said coach Corey Baird. The team is made up of 30 girls, this is the largest team Salado has ever had run. This season the Lady Eagles will return three girls from the 2020 State qualifying team. The team will be led by Junior captain Ellie Mescher. Other returners are juniors Natalie Burleson and Kate Neas. Senior captain Avery Fossum will be out this season due to a chronic injury she has battled since last cross country season. The team has eight incoming freshmen that will be great assets to the team this season. “We are looking forward to another rewarding season,” Baird said. The first meet will be Aug. 20 at Lions Park in Temple. (Courtesy Photo)

Texas WaTer UTiliTies, soUThWesT WaTer ComPany
Summertime calls for fre-quent and substantial uses of water to keep ourselves, our food and our lawns healthy. According to the Texas Wa-ter Development Board, the largest use of water is for irrigation, making up 59% of the state’s total water use. Conserving water today will save you money on water and wastewater bills, reduce the cost of building new water and wastewater in-frastructure and leave more water in rivers and lakes for you to enjoy. Despite the heat of Tex-as summers, there are sim-ple ways to conserve when you’re watering the lawn, landscaping or cooling off in the pool. Watering the Lawn To lessen the amount of water evaporating from your lawn, water before sunrise and do not water when it’s windy. Raise your lawn mower cutting height to 3 inches. Longer grass blades help shade roots, reduce evaporation and in-hibit weed growth. Set your sprinklers to water only the lawn, not the street or side-walk, and use soaker hoses or trickle irrigation systems for trees and shrubs. To ensure you’re not wa-tering too much, use an emp-ty tuna can to measure the water from your sprinkler. Typical lawns need about an inch a week, so when the can fills you should stop watering. Depending upon weather and soil conditions, lawns require up to daily watering in June, July and
August. You can decrease watering to every second or third day in the spring and fall months, and every fifth to seventh day in the winter months.Irrigation Systems For those with existing irrigation systems, there are water-saving technologies that can be incorporated to help portion water use. Smart irrigation controllers, rain sensors and soil mois-ture sensors can control the amount of irrigation based on the season and adjust how long each zone is ir-rigated. Smart controllers will not irrigate if a certain amount of rain is predicted, if it is a certain temperature or if there is too much wind. Landscaping Cutting back on irri-gation is possible through thoughtful landscaping and using fewer water features. Consider planting shade trees for lawns, such as a Live Oak, Shumard Red Oak or a Chinquapin Oak, drought tolerant shrubs and native vegetation. Trees and shrubs have deep root systems, so water these longer and less frequently than shallow-rooted plants. Place mulch around shrubs and garden plants to reduce evaporation from the soil surface and minimize weeds. Consider planting Ber-muda grass, which can toler-ate hot weather in the sum-mer and requires less water than St. Augustine grass. Bermuda grass also requires less fertilizing—typically twice a year—which will also save on watering. Ar-tificial turf and rock scapes are popular alternatives to the traditional grass lawn that do not require watering.
