George Chester Kimble was born March 6, 1803, and at the age of twenty- four, came from New York to Texas, where he received one of the land grants awarded to settlers in a fledgling area. With a partner, Almeron Dickerson, Kimble owned and operated a hat factory in the community of Gonzales, a town established by Green Dewitt in 1825. On June 26, 1832, seven years after his arrival in his adopted home of Texas, George C. Kimble married Prudence Nash, the widow of Ira Nash, who had been killed in an accidental shooting. In due time, the Kimbles became parents of a son, Charles Chester. A group of Rangers was organized in Gonzales County to protect the frontier, and George Kimble became one of the leaders of the group. On February 27, 1836, when a call came for volunteers to help in the defense of the Alamo, George C. Kimble (and others, including several whose kinsmen would later call Kimble County their home) left their loved ones to journey to Bejar. It has been said that Kimble told his wife, Prudence, that he felt he would not return home but willingly went to the aid New head football coach/athletic director Cory Spivey is a man with a plan for the 2008-09 Junction Eagles. Last Saturday, the Eagles scrimmaged the San Saba Armadillos as a tune -up for the upcoming season. This week, on Thursday at 5:30 p.m., the junior varsity and then varsity Eagles will host the Brady Bulldogs for another preseason test. The Eagles Booster Club is cooking and welcomes everyone to come by for a burger and sides. New water tank construction okayed On August 13, the City of Junction held a preconstruc- tion meeting on the new main water storage tank to be built at the northwest corner of the intersection of Oak and 5th Streets. The contractor for this project is Natgun Corporation and the City’s engineer is HDR, Inc., Austin. At the meeting’s conclu- sion, the City issued a Notice to Proceed with work on the new tank. The work is to be completed by February 11, 2009, under the terms of the project contract. The new storage tank will be a 350,000 gallon concrete tank and will replace the existing steel tank of the same size located next to the Water Treatment Plant. The existing tank must be replaced as the top is in dan- ger of collapsing. Natgun’s low bid for the project was $684,800, which includes the cost of demolishing the old steel tank.

Contained within this agenda was the personnel report as fol- lows: Recommended employ- ment of Cindy Lopez for art position (has three years expe- rience and is coming from Aransas Pass) and employment of Daniel Henderson for spe- cial education/middle school coach (graduate of JHS and Texas State University) will coach middle school girls and high school tennis.

The next agenda item was the consideration and possible action to approve the 2008- 2009 Board Goals. The goals are as follows, along with comments from Dr. Reneé Schulze, superintendent: Goal # 1 Facilities: Many things are being done and many others are being looked into. Goal #2 Morale and Pride: Trying to get 100% student UIL par- ticipation in academics/athlet- ics and get more communica- tion between teachers and the board. Goal #3 Academics: (Elementary is exemplary) Paying for every student to take the PSAT test his/her sophomore year; fostering a professional working environ- ment and mentors for new teachers. Goal #4 Finance: Hope to receive money invest- ment from Region XV for technology support and inter- est for what is needed. Goal #5 Community and Parent In- volvement: Still wanting more community/parent involve- ment with more technology and again the surveys. Each campus will decide how it can meet each of the five goals, and then the goals will be sent to a district com- mittee. After a decision on that level, the goals will be brought back to the board. The board members voted unanimously to approve the board goals as presented. The board had held a budget workshop on Monday, August 11. That budget will be dis- cussed in a public meeting on August 27. At the time of the meeting, the enrollment for JISD appears to be higher than last year: Elementary, between 280 and 285 students: Middle School, around 170; and High School is pushing 200.

Debbie Cooper Kistler The Junction Eagle At the August 14 meeting of the Housing Authority-Junction (HAJ), Executive Director Clara Kemp informed board mem- bers that she had been contacted by an agent with the Housing and Urban Development Office of the Inspector General on July 21. The agent investigator requested additional information and documents regarding the Audit Review of the local housing authority performed earlier this year by Washington- based HUD auditors. That 34-page audit review report was the reason for the request. Kemp said she was told that the documents she sent and the results of the investigation were forwarded to the U.S. Office of the Attorney General the following Wednesday. According to Kemp, in addition to the inves- tigation of HAJ’s former Executive Director Susie Maddux, the investigation includes other parties who were involved with Maddux, all real estate transactions and the issuance and use of certain credit cards. Kemp remarked that she was unaware of the investigation and was surprised because she assumed the investigators were too busy with the investigation of the Dallas Housing Authority scandal involving the collection of over $2 million from social security numbers of 45 deceased persons. (See Dallasnews.com for The Dallas Morning News story.) Kemp said that she had had no indication of when the investigation would be complet- ed, but said that she hoped it wouldn’t take a long time because she is asked almost daily why nothing seems to be happening. Kemp said that she just tries to reassure the citizens that the issue has not been dropped. Kemp commented that in reality she does expect it to take a long time. Kemp said that she has filed a formal com- plaint with the State Board of Licensing against the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who had performed the HAJ’s audits in years past. She said that it was exactly that kind of shoddy work that has initiated HUD’s current effort to require all CPAs to be specif- ically qualified if they want to do HUD work. Becky Chenault told the Board members present that all 40 HAJ units are currently occupied. The Board approved several resolutions making changes to the Dwelling Leases and the Security Deposits. A letter of resignation from Board member Sue Baugh was forwarded to Junction Mayor James Murr. Kemp said Gloria Abilez’ appli- cation to serve on the Board has been sent to the Mayor. Kemp explained that she had visited with all of the taxing entities, asking for a waiver of the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) from each. The County, Hospital and School districts had granted the waiver; the County making the waiver permanent. Kemp said she has withdrawn the request from the City until some issues of services are resolved. Only the Groundwater District refused to grant the waiver of approximately $60 per year. Kemp told the Board that four of the dete- riorated roofs have been replaced. She has been asked why the HAJ chose to install metal roofs rather than composite asphalt shingles. She said that the contactor had rec- ommended the installation of metal because shingles are an oil product, and the price has been increasing so that it is approaching the price of the more durable metal roofs. The metal roofs require less maintenance and cost the HAJ less for insurance. Articles about PEC can be found on pages 14-16, 18

In my meanderings duringthe week, I espied some wild-flowers known as Snow on theMountain. The native plantsthat appear each August areakin to the cultivatedPoinsettias.
Sincere condolences areextended to Dixie Jetton Huntand her family in the loss ofher husband, Terry Hunt.Memorial services were heldFriday, August 15, inGreenville. My thanks go toRuby Bannowsky Zibilski ofAustin, who relayed, by tele-phone, the sad news. Rubywas here last weekend to
attend the reunion of the JHSclass of 1968.
Many persons braved theheat of a summer day to attendgraveside services for JamesWeldon Dagen in the JunctionCemetery last Monday.Among others there were mykinsmen, Fronia B. PearlHaines of Bertram and herniece, Edith D'Spain Craveyof Burnet. I also chattedbriefly with Carl and GwenSellers Nolte of Spring, JoyceMartin Hughes, of SanAntonio, Knowla Lee StewartMorrow of Fort Worth, G. W.and Lilburn Goodman Walkerof San Angelo, Mrs CliffordHerbst of Bandera, and EnnisWinslett. It was my pleasureto see local residents KatieEllis Goodman, DorothyGoodman Baylor, LynnJacoby, and others.
While perusing the Sundayissue of the San Angelo news-paper, I was pleasantly sur-prised to see the enclosed"Hunters' Guide", edited byour own Rana KayWilliamson!
Jerry Ramsey brought me acopy of the book, WillieNelson Family Album, com-piled by Lana Nelson Fowler.The "Album" is most interest-ing, especially to those of uswho enjoy Willie's music.
An interesting young man,Tom Schwerdt of Austin, vis-ited Kimble HistoricalMuseum on two occasions,and I enjoyed chatting withhim. He is in Junction as aninspector on the South LlanoRiver Bridge project.
Tammie Martin Driskill ofSan Antonio (she and Idescend from the same Pearlfamily) telephoned to relay
news that Ron and JuneTrotter plan a trip to Junction.Ron is a re-enactor atEnchanted Springs Ranch atBoerne.
In a letter from Dr. DanielM. Lane of San Antonio,(author of Sam Maverick’sTrail), he wrote that, perhaps,one of the first records ofTexas Indian Rock Art wasnoted in the journal of SamuelMaverick and his group ontheir trek up the South Llanoin 1848. The pictographs werelocated on the bluff abouteighteen miles from Junctionat the confluence of Big PaintCreek and the South LlanoRiver. We know of other pic-tographs at Paint RockSprings about 25 milesSouthwest of Junction, butthrough the years, those havebeen destroyed by floodwaters.
Jerry Spencer of Grapevinesent interesting facts relatingto the 1813 Battle of Medina,in which Josiah Taylor, the
father of Creed Taylor, waswounded.
Ann Burton Patton droppedby the museum with genera-tions of her Milligan familyhistory, dating back to theimmigrant ancestor fromIreland.
Sylvia Mahoney of Vernonsent a new release stating theRotary Club of Vernon, onJuly 28, dedicated a WesternTrail marker in Regina,Saskatchewan. It was interest-ing to see that the trail crossedfrom Montana into theCanadian town of Val Marie.
And speaking of the cattletrails, Elizabeth Ressman of SanAntonio wrote that her great-grandfather, Henry Hensleewho lived in Junction City, rodethe cattle trail twice. Elizabeth isthe daughter of Oscar Henslee,who wants to be in London forthe Trail Driving Days onOctober 18.
My home computer went on"the blink" in the latter days oflast week, confirming my the-ory that new technology -however handy - cannot com-pletely replace the older meth-ods of communication.
Enjoy your week!

A few of our local folks dis-covered that the KimbleCounty Library is a valuabletool. It happened this week,and it was due to a thunder-storm that prompted theirvisit!
The thunderstorm (a mini-hurricane from the observa-tion point at the library’s frontwindows), which took placeon Tuesday, left some of ourlocal folks without internet.Wednesday morning MichelleMorales came by to see if ourinternet was up and going,which it was. Her internet wasout at her house, and she need-ed to work on her collegecourses that required the inter-net in order to accomplish thattask. The library was veryhappy to assist, and she wasvery happy to be able to turnher homework in on time.
The library had anotherpatron, soon to be A&M momCandy Bierschwale. She wasneeding the internet to com-plete some transactions onlinefor her son’s first semester atA&M. (Parents…you knowabout those college entrancedeadlines. They are not to bemessed with.) Her internet athome was also out. The librarywas happy that she could com-plete her paper work on time.
That is what our KimbleCounty Library is for to offerservices for our community,whether it be books to read orcomputers.
For those of you who do notknow, the Kimble CountyLibrary has 15 computers withinternet access for your use atno charge. Just bring in yourlibrary card, and you may usea computer. We also havethree computers for the chil-dren’s use.
At the present time, JaniceStockton, the computer teach-er for Junction High School, isconducting computer classeshere at the Kimble CountyLibrary free of charge. Theclasses are held on Tuesdayand Thursday evenings from 6p.m. until 8 p.m. I understandthat in a few weeks they willbe tackling “power point.” (Imay just have to sit in on thosesessions.) The classes havebeen made possible by a grantfurnished by AT&T and theTexas Book Festival.
As you can see, the library isa very valuable asset toJunction. I want to inviteeveryone to come in and justlook around, and see what wehave to offer. We are morethan just a place to check outbooks.
We are thankful for all of therain we've had this week. Asof Sunday, we had received atotal of 1 1/4 inches.
In 1907, the road that cameup from Yates crossing head-ing towards Harper andFredericksburg turned sharplyto the left at the top of the hilljust as you crossed the riverand wound around past theHardesty's place and throughthe little town of Yates, Texas.Today, there is a metal gateclosing off what used to be themain road, with a sign thatreads, "Yates Crossing Ranch".James A. and Parmelia GageYates owned a lot of the land inthe area at the time and hadlived there for several yearsbefore deciding to build a storeand post office named after hisfamily, and thus the town ofYates was born. Joseph S.Yates, was the first postmasterand he was James A. Yate's
son. Joseph S. Yates marriedTempie E. Gadberry in 1886.Two of his sisters then marriedHardesty brothers.
G.W. Hardesty marriedTempa Elizabeth Yates, andG.W.'s brother, James Samuel"Sam", married Cora BellYates. Another sister, EllaYates, married Dan C. Bird.And another sister, M.E., mar-ried G. W. Clayton.
G.W and Tempa Hardestyhad eight children. One ofthem was Ernest, who marriedEra Harrell. They ended upliving in the same Hardestyhome, in later years. Theyhad eight children, and onlythree survived to adulthood,Wanda, G.W., Jr. and TroyHardesty. Gayland Hardestyis the only descendent ofG.W.'s that still lives in theYates Community today.
At one time, the town boast-ed that it had 51 inhabitants.
They had a gas station, a store,a post office, a cotton gin, thatwas built by G.W. Hardesty in1906. Someone even adver-tised that Yates was the placeto come as an ideal vacationspot for tourists. The commu-nity was nestled on the mainLlano River just above theBeef Trail crossing. Betweenl860 and l880, the old crossinghad been a place for thousandsof cattle to cross the river ontheir way "up the trail" to mar-kets as far away as Miles City,Montana. The scenic beautyof the mouth of Red Creek andthe large oak and pecan treesthat grew along the banks ofthe river made it an ideal placefor people to gather undertents and brush arbors forcamp meetings that some-times lasted for weeks at atime. The river was a perfectsetting for baptisms. Quite afew people today can boastthat they were baptized atYates crossing. There is awonderful picture at theKimble Museum of the"Holiness People of London,Texas". It shows a group ofpeople, at a camp meeting onRed Creek, with a tent andbrush arbor in the background.
By 1909, Joseph S. Yatesturned over his postmasterduties to Tully Lange. Today,Tully's son, Marvin, lives inKoocksville, outside ofMason, and he is coming tovisit me this week. His son,Aubrey, is bringing him"home" to see the house wherehe was born and to reminisceabout what it was like, whenhis father, Tully, owned andoperated the Yates store andpost office. Marvin is now 97years old, and his memory issharp.
So, I am very excited, I can'twait to get the chance to meethim and to question him aboutwhat it was like living here inthe early 20's and 30's. TheYate's post office closed inl930 and by 1958, the popula-tion had decreased to ten, andthe building was torn down.Today, the house is still stand-ing where Marvin Lange grewup. Some of the previous own-ers have been Will and MattieFairchild and Walter andGladys Walker and Mike andDebbie Murray. It is nowowned by Ricky Vinson, wholives in Lancaster. Ricky
wanted to be here, to meet himas well, but he was in a motor-cycle accident and broke hisneck a few weeks ago andcan't travel until his doctorsays it's okay. He can walk andtalk, and he wants to makesure it stays that way.
I guess if you count the oneswho live in the Gephart subdi-vision, you could say theYates's community today has apopulation of about fifteenfull-time inhabitants. Not any-thing like it was in its heyday.
Bunny and Janice Mays hada garage sale Friday this sideof London. Joey and I got upearly to go check it out. Wesaw Teresa and Phillip Leach,and Becky Leach shopping forgoodies and Em Carnett wasthere selling some things ofhers. We tried hard not tospend any money, and didgreat until we got home anddecided we'd made a mistakeand needed to go back and buya log splitter and chipper. So,we did. Now we can makeour own mulch and cut ourown firewood and have fundoing it. Bunny and Janice arehard workers, and it showswhen you see their place.They have done so much workaround their house, clearingbrush and planting flowersand trees; it's simply beautiful.
Congratulations to LinnieHight of the Saline Com-munity and David Norvell ofCorpus Christi on theirengagement and weddingplans. I hear the date has beenset for November 8. I wishyou both the very, very best!
Also, don't forget KimbleCounty's Birthday party,August 30 at the CokeStevenson Center! Cake andhomemade ice cream and awonderful program, will bepresented, telling the historyof Kimble County in pictures.Also, a lot of George Kimble'sdescendents will be there!

or drop by the clubhouse ifyou have a memorial.
Golf quote: When it is allsaid and done, when the drivesno longer have the carry theyused to, when the iron shotsare not as crisp as they oncewere, and the 29 putts perround are now like 33 or 34,the one thing that we all havelearned from Harvey (Penick)is love. A love of a game thatteaches us more about our-selves than we sometimes careto know and a love of the peo-ple that we share this gamewith. Harvey makes no dis-tinction between the rankbeginner who chops his wayaround the course or the tour-
ing pro with a swing assmooth as velvet. If a personloves the game, then Harveywill do anything in his powerto try to help that personimprove.-Tom Kite
Harvey Penick: (when askedwhy he became a teacher) "Ithought I was a pretty fairplayer and had nagging aspira-tions to join the tour until aHouston Open in the middle1930's. I was practicing put-ting and one of the fellowssaid, "Harvey, have you seenthis kid Snead (Sam Snead)hit the ball? He's about to teeoff now." I walked over to thetee and saw the new kid fromWest Virginia hit his drive. Inot only saw it, I heard it. Itsounded like a rifle and the ballflew like a bullet. I knew rightat that moment that my futurewas not as a tour player."
See you on the golf course!

Five Less Democrats
Courtland and I pulled intoLake City, Colorado, in lateafternoon and promptlyencountered an argument. Wehad gone into a store to askdirections to Dan’s Fly Shop,and the woman who ownedthe store was evidently tryingto get another woman to haveher husband carry some boxesto the basement. The otherwoman didn’t want her hus-band going down the base-ment stairs, for some reason Inever understood.
It was a friendly argument,the kind you can expect in anice, quiet, beautiful town likeLake City. I have no idea whowon, because the lady whoowned the store finally noticedus and gave us directions.When we left, the two womenwent back to cordially dis-agreeing with one another.
We found Dan’s Fly Shop,and behind it we found thepark where Steve andKandace LaMascus hadparked their Coleman pop-upcamper. The LaMasci (I guessthat’s the plural for LaMascus)were off fishing, so we visitedwith the lady who runs thepark while we waited. Thepark contains several smallcabins inhabited by touristsand flyfishers, and the areaunderneath the cabins isinhabited by an extended fam-ily of marmots.
A marmot is an interestinganimal that looks like a big, fatsquirrel, without the bushytail. These particular marmotswere pretty used to people,and they spent their time wan-dering around the yard amongthe cabins, eating food provid-ed by nature, such as droppedpotato chips and crackers, andbeing cute. Marmots spend agreat deal of time being cute.
The marmots aren’t com-pletely tame, but they allowedCourtland to get just closeenough to them to give him
hope that he might be able tocatch one. He would creepslowly closer and closer to amarmot, and it would prettymuch ignore him until hecould almost reach out andtouch it, and then it would dartaway much quicker than youwould expect. He nevercaught one, which is probablya good thing. He would proba-bly have had an easier timecatching one than turning itloose.
The LaMasci showed upand we ate supper with them,and then went looking forbeaver dams. Courtland decid-ed he wanted to catch a beaver,and I wanted to see if he wouldactually try, but we neverfound any. That was probablyfor the best, too, since hewanted to bring one home, andI doubt that would have beenpopular with either theColorado Fish & Game Dept.,the Texas Parks & WildlifeDept., or my wife.
Lake City may be a littleshort on beavers right now, butit’s long on history. Mostnotably the town was thevenue of one of AlfredPacker’s trials for murder andcannibalism. The town seemsrather proud of that. One caféeven offers Alfred Packerburgers and such.
Packer was a prospectorwho was traveling fromProvo, Utah, with a groupheaded for the Colorado goldcountry around Breckenridgein late 1873. They ran intoChief Ouray at Montrose, andhe told them to wait untilspring, but Packer and fiveothers decided to chance themountain passes anyway.They left Montrose headed forGunnison on 9 February 1874,and before long they were lost.They got snowbound in theRocky Mountains, ran out offood, and generally foundthemselves in a pickle.
Packer showed up inGunnison on 16 April, alone
and rather plump for a guywho had recently almoststarved in a winter mountainpass. He was tried and con-victed in Saguache, Colorado,and the presiding judge, M.B.Gerry, reportedly told Packerwhile sentencing him, “Whenyou came to Hinsdale Countythere was seven democrats.But you, you ate five of them.”He sentenced Packer to hangby the neck “until you’re dead,dead, dead, as a warningagainst reducing the democratpopulation of this county.”
Packer escaped from theSaguache jail and disappeareduntil 1883, when he turned upin Cheyenne Wyoming. Hewas, for some reason, triedagain in Lake City in April ofthat year and sentenced todeath, again. In 1885 theColorado Supreme Courtreversed that decision, andPacker was tried, again, inGunnison in 1886, and sen-tenced to 40 years.
Packer was paroled in 1901,and supposedly became a veg-etarian during his last years.After his release, he worked asa guard at the Denver Post. Hedied in 1907 at the age of 65.
Alfred Packer has beenmemorialized in song andstory for over a hundred yearsnow. C.W. McCall wrote asong about his exploits called‘Comin’ Back for More.’ In1968, students at theUniversity of Colorado namedthe school cafeteria the‘Alfred Packer MemorialGrill.’ The slogan was ‘Have afriend for lunch.’ His head,incidentally, is on display inthe Ripley’s Believe It or Notmuseum in the French Quarterof New Orleans.
Courtland and I left LakeCity without ever catching amarmot or a beaver, or trying aPacker burger. But that’s notall bad. At least we have some-thing to look forward to thenext time we visit Lake City.And there will definitely be anext time. Unless Steve andKandace caught all the fish . . .

Oodles of fun, surprises and a very treasuredmemory!
This all occurred and proved to be a veryexciting two-week vacation and visit for great-grandson Pierson Parker, 11, and his great-granny, “Muh”, Natilee Brite, age ???
Serious rod and reel fishing was on the dailyagenda. “Catch ’em, too small, throw ’emback.” We seemed to be doing a lot of throw’em back but that was O.K.
As nightfall approached on this one particularday, Muh and Pierson decided to cast out hisperch baited line, weight down his rod and hopefor the big catch during the night.
The next morning, anticipating a great catch,Pierson arose earlier than usual to check hisline. In a very short time he returned, excitedand saying breathlessly, “I caught a shark, aBIG shark; come quick and help.”
“OK, let’s go see about this BIG shark andproceed to reel it in, if there is one.”
To my surprise and, needless to say, Pierson’salso, we knew there was something “BIG.”The picture should relate as to how adrenalizedwe were while landing this BIG shark, caughton a rod and reel with a perch hook.
Pierson was as excited as a camper steppinginto a “bed of hot coals” and Muh was “dernnere” done in, but we hung in there until we gotthe shark (yellow catfish) on the bank. Morefun.
Pierson is the son of Michael Parker and JillCovin, grandson of Debby Hendry and GregParker and great-grandson of Natilee Brite.

I guess they call it the “dogdays” because even the dogsdon’t go out in the middaysun. Summer is both extolledand bad rep’ed, but it’s whenthings slow down and vaca-tions are scheduled, school’sout, water parks open and lotsof fishermen get the tackle outand exercised.
Listening to the news,things not only don’t slowdown but slide into a fastergear. This a.m. what confront-
ed us was a church shootingand politicians zipping acrossthe world. You half to be aquick listener to just keep up.
Is it me or is the wholeworld speaking up? Not manyplaces on the globe who havenot had some sort of newswhich would more thanaccommodate the listing of“headlines”. Australia withholes being blown in the sideof a giant airliner by an oxy-gen bottle. The same oxygen
bottle which was supposed tosave your life at 35 thousandfeet if a hole in the airplane letall the air out. Who can tell!
Armed conflict all over theglobe: Africa, the mid East,the mountains of South Asia,India, Pakistan, sometimeseven the southern border ofour own United States.
As I said its pretty tough tokeep up.
The news “media” of coursehas a little rule--“If it bleeds itleads”. It boils down to whatyou hear or read consists ofthe very worst, very deadliest,very strangest, very well themost impossible, to the aver-age citizens of this nation.Don’t just sit there, keep up!

2008 Property Tax Rates in Kimble Hospital District
This notice concerns 2008 property tax rates for Kimble HospitalDistrict .It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is theactual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year.This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as lastyear if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollbacktax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayerscan start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found bydividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of tax-able property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates aregiven per $100 of property value.
Last year's tax rate:Last year's operating taxesLast year's debt taxesLast year's total taxesLast year's tax baseLast year's total tax rate
This year's effective tax rate:Last year's adjusted taxes(after subtracting taxes on lost property)
÷ This year's adjusted tax base(after subtracting value of new property)
= This year's effective tax rate(Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.)
This year's rollback tax rate:Last year's adjusted operating taxes(after subtracting taxes on lost propertyand adjusting for any transferred function,tax increment financing, state criminaljustice mandate, and/or enhanced indigenthealth care expenditures)
÷ This year's adjusted tax base= This year's effective operating ratex 1.08 = this year's maximum operating rate+ This year's debt rate= This year's total rollback rate
