Brownwood & Lake Brownwood: " All poopy/caca is local " !
Note from Steve: What/Who is Bush's " Turd Blossom " and " Pooty Poo " ? Seems to be a great deal of " Focus on the Fecal " in the Bush Circle ! Does anyone recall if there were advertisements on Watts Radio promoting LakeHaven Marina ? Is anyone surprised that the Abilene Reporter News was the paper to break the story to Brownwood residents ? I guess if the Brownwood Bulletin reporters spent more time investigating and reporting instead of * wondering/pondering if we ( Steves' Deli ) was For Sale, they may be able to keep their readers/advertisers better informed ! I'm sure all of the Abileneians who regularly visit Lake Brownwood appreciate the Reporter News for covering the news since it does seem to be a health issue ! I wonder how many folks were swimming, jet skiing, skiiing in the caca ? I also would not be surprised if the Bulletin prints a story in todays Bulletin, since I'm reasonably sure they are aware of todays Abilene Reporter News Story regarding Lake Brownwood !

Steve, I clicked on the address and it sent me to subscribe on line to the Fort Worth Star Telegram. So I did, and I can't find what you were trying to get me to see. There's 2 minutes of my life I'll never get back! On another topic, is Steves' Deli for sale?

Brownwood man faces smelly situation
Marina owner accused of sewage violations
By Celinda Emison / Reporter-News Staff Writer
July 15, 2005
A Lake Brownwood marina owner has been arrested twice since July 4, accused of allowing sewage to be released into the lake and not operating with a proper septic system.
But Travis Grimes, 44, owner of LakeHaven Marina, says he is being treated unfairly by officials from the Brown County Water Improvement District and its Lake Patrol.
John Chisholm general manager of the Brown County Water Improvement District, said the water from Lake Brownwood, treated at the BCWID plant, remains safe for all customers to consume. The plant sells treated water to customers in Brownwood, Brookesmith and Bangs, and untreated water to customers in Early. Early treats its own water, and sells some of it to residents in Zephyr.
''We treat the water to exceed safety standards set by the state,'' Chisholm said, adding the lake is monitored daily.
Lake Patrol Officer Bob Pacatte said Grimes was arrested July 4 on charges of violating the lake's health and safety codes. Investigators believe Grimes had a cesspool behind eight cabins at LakeHaven where raw sewage was being discharged.
Grimes was arrested again Saturday and charged with permitting the discharge of sewage into the watershed, Pacatte said.
Grimes reportedly tried to fix the problem after July 4 by placing a large plastic holding tank at the site to pump sewage into, Pacatte said.
''He then had a pumper come to pump out the plastic tank and a significant amount of sewage leaked onto the ground,'' he said.
Pacatte said both charges are considered Class C misdemeanors. Grimes faces fines if found guilty of both charges.
Grimes faces six more charges filed July 5 in Justice of the Peace courts that allege he violated regulations on storing and disposing of raw sewage. If found guilty, Grimes could be fined from $50 to $1,000 per day since July 2, when the first violation was reported.
Grimes said he never should have been arrested.
''They could have simply written me a citation,'' Grimes said. ''Instead, they came out and embarrassed me in front of my employees and my customers, handcuffed me and took me to jail.''
Grimes blamed his July 4 arrest on a child guest at the marina who accidentally used a permanent toilet that was not attached to a septic system. Portable toilets were in place for the marina's 750 guests July 4.
On July 9, Grimes argues that the holding tank was full of water from customers who had taken a shower on the property and that the shower water, not sewage, leaked onto the ground.
Grimes, who said he became owner of the marina in March after working there since May 2004, said he has spent more than $150,000 so far for engineering fees for the construction of a new marina septic system.
Brown County Attorney Shane Britton said that while Grimes has done a lot of work on the marina, he is still not complying with county septic regulations.
County officials could ask for approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to file an injunction to shut down the marina until it is in compliance, Britton said.
Charles Keith of the TCEQ office in Abilene said so far, his agency has left the matter up to Brown County officials.

Who is Bush's "Turd Blossom" ?
All eyes on Turd Blossom
Beltway insiders are consumed by one question: Did Karl Rove do it?
By David Paul Kuhn
July 7, 2005 | WASHINGTON -- When Karl Rove was little known outside Texas political circles, he was fired from George H.W. Bush's 1992 reelection campaign for leaking information to syndicated columnist Robert Novak. According to newspaper reports at the time, Rove was terminated for passing information to Novak from a meeting of the president's chief advisors. Rove denied he was the leaker.
Today, with another Bush in office, a journalist is being jailed to protect a source that led Novak to name a CIA operative, Valerie Plame. There is fevered speculation that Novak's source was, once again, Karl Rove.
If Rove, George W. Bush's deputy chief of staff, knowingly revealed Plame's name, he could be charged with committing a felony.
