Tax Deadline Friday
AUSTIN-An Important
date on the Texas property
calendar comes up this
month according to Kenneth
Gracber executive director
of the State Property Tax
Board.
June 11 is the statutory
deadline for property owners
to file written notice of their
intention to protest the 1982
appraised values of their
property to the appraisal
review board (ARB) Grae-
ber said. However the local
deadline for filing these no-
tices of protest depends on
the date that notices of
appraised value are mailed
to taxpayers and appraisal
records officially turned over
to the ARB by the chief
appraiser he added.
Graeber explained that the
Property Tax Code requires
the chief appraiser to submit
completed appraisal records
to the review board and to
mail notices of appraised
value to property owners by
May 15 or "as soon thereaf-
ter as practicable."
"When it has not been
practicable to complete the
records and send notices by
that statutory date" ho said
"the code allows filing
notices of protest within 20
days after the date the re-
cords were given to the
board-or before June 11-
whlchever date is later "
Corn Festival A Week Away

KOLACHE WINNERS Winners in the adult division of the Kolache Eating Contest at
Schwertner Sunday were left to right Larry Joe Martinkn of Granger and Sheila
Krueger of Schwertner Sheila was the defending women's champion.
The code also permits a
property owner to file a
notice of protest after the
local deadline if he can show
good cause for late filing.
The 1982 appraised value of
his property and the local
notice of protest deadline will
be provided to a taxpayer on
the notice of appraised value
which must also include an
explanation of procedures for
protesting the value the
location of review board
hearings the kind and a-
mount of any exemptions
approved for the property
and the names of the local
governments which have
jurisdiction to tax the proper-
ty. A taxpayer must receive
this notification from the
appraisal district in three
instances Graeber noted
When the appraised value of
a property is greater than it
was in the preceding year
when the appraised value is
greater than the value rend-
ered by the property owner
or when the property was not
on the appraisal roll the
preceding year. Notices of
appraised value must be
mailed to property owners at
least 20 days before the ARB
will begin hearings he
added
provided by the "Moods." It
will take place at 10 a.m. with
a parade down main street of
Holland. The crowning of our

Queen Diania Blair will

Historical Marker
To Honor Former
Area Resident
A Texas Historical Marker
honoring William Persky will
be unveiled at 2:00 p.m.
Saturday June 12 1982 at his
grave site in the Sharp
Cemetery in Milam County.
Persky before his death in
1945 was the oldest citizen of
Milam County and the last
surviving Confederate
veteran of the county. Born
in Buchholtz Ulyscn Ger-
many In 1844 he came to the
United States at the age of
eight with his family.
In 1864 he enlisted in the
Confederate Army as a pri-
vate and became a prisoner
of war following the sur-
render of General Lee. He
was given a Parole of Honor
in 1865 at Columbus Texas.
He and his wife Theresa
Runge Persky had ten child-
ren all born in Austin
County. Later he moved to
the Holland-Bartlett area of
Bell County and in 1925
moved to Milam County to
make his home with his
daughter. Here his mailing
address was R.F.D. Buch-
holtz an interesting coin-
cidence of place name with
that of his birthplace.
Schwertner Festival
Features Kolaches.
Music & Fun
Country folks city folks;
young and old-they all turn-
ed out for another round of
fun at the annual Schwertner
Festival.
School kids turned out to
launch summer vacation;
farmers found it a well-deserved
rest after the wheat
harvest; city folks were look-
ing to find a little bit of the
country; and for many it
was just a good opportunity
to talk with old friends andd
maybe make some new ones.
A unique feature of this
year's Festival was Schwer-
tner State Bank's dunking
booth which offered Festival
goers the opportunity to dunk
a bank president as well as
other employees of the bank.
Bank president Kae Mc-
Laughlin and employees
Sharon Tschocrncr and Caro-
lyn Barker were treated to
the dunking. This may have
set some sort of historical
first for a dunking booth.
The kolache eating contest
was the usual success.
Sheila Krueger of Schwert-
ner successfully defended
her title as women's champ
while Larry Joe Martinka of
Granger took the men's title.
Lots of fun was had by young and old alike (See pages 5
