tamper proof and resistent to vandal-
ism.
The council did not act favorably on a
request by Jerry Green for a variance
from a city ordinance prohibiting the
parking of large trucks on city streets
for a period exceeding two hours. Green
wa nted permission to park his rig in the
street next to his house.
NO ACTION COULD have been taken
on the final citizen request. Represen-
tatives from a new Baptist Church near
the intersection of FM731 and SH174
were concerned about the time factor
involved in submitting preliminary and
final plats on their church site before
construction could actually begin.
Because street dedications are in-
volved, the church site comes under the
category of a sub-division and must go
through the Planning Board.
Since a builder has already been
assigned to the Burleson Church by the
Baptist Convention, church officials
were requesting consideration for some
type of preliminary permit to begin
construction.
Dr. Abies noted that the process
would probably take six to seven weeks
to complete, but said the contractor
could move dirt, set forms and even
construct a parking lot with no permits
from the city.
FIRST OF THREE READINGS was
taken on the animal control ordinance
after a lengthy discussion. Several
options were given to the council ana
council members opted not to make it
mandatory to neuter an animal before
it could be adopted from the animal
shelter. The consensus here was that it
would decrease the number of adop-
tions and increase the number of
animals taken to Fort Worth for dispo-

A REPORT OF the fourth annual city
of Burleson Chili Cook-Off was held up
several days so it could be determined
if there were any casualities among the
judges or the noon time luncheon
guests. .F
Apparently everyone. . about 62 city
employes and friends. . walked away
from the Burleson Recreation Center
Friday a week ago alive and well and
now an account of the gastromic event
can be revealed
The Chili Cook-off was held this year
in the spacious and attractive dining
area of the new Burleson Recreation
Center and generated much interest
among chili afficianados, who are also
city of Burleson employes and the only
contestants allowed to enter the presti-
gious contest.
When the Moment of Truth arrived
around 12 noon, the seven judges,
mayor Robert E. Abies, and council-
members Vera Calvin, Bill Stowe, Rick
Roper, Dennis Barabas, Bill Johnson
and Bob Johnson lined up before pots
★ Champion
“It was quite an honor,” Patti said.
“He paraded to music before a large
audience in the Fairgrounds there."
Patti says Dressage is a little known
competition for show horses but adds it
is an Olympic event, “I’ll take him as
far as he’ll go,” she said of the 13-year-
old late-blooming super star.
The Pace’s spread got its name
“Almost A Ranch” because “it wasn’t
big enough to call it a real ranch.”
The Pace have five horses of their
own and board four others.
IN ADDITION THEY have most
other animals you would find on a small
ranch—cattle, chickens, dogs, cats, etc.
“There’s always something to do out
here,” Patti said.
Both the Pace’s children—Ian, 8, and
Grady, 5—are learning how to ride.
Frank and Patti are active in a
number of civic affairs including First
Christian Church where they are
deacon and deaconess.
“Frank’s active in the Chamber of
Commerce and other civic functions
and we’re big hockey fans,” Patti said.
Frank is an officer with F&M State
Bank of Burleson and Patti spends her
time tending to the horses, giving a few
lessons and training the family’s prize
horse.
and crock-pots filled with recipe crafti-
ness of 13 contestants.
Resigned to “do or die” for their
beloved city, the judges began their
taste search for the “the best”, “the
worst” and “the hottest” chili.
After about 30 minutes when the
smoke had cleared, there^emerged
three distinctive winners: Pauh Foster
of the Maintenance Department won
“the best chili” title and two hours of
“comp time.”
Leon Gunther, animal control war-
den, received the “worst chili” title and
had a card of sympathy read to him by
last year’s “worst chili cooker”, Mary
Douglas, secretary to the city manager.
The “hottest chili” was brewed up by
City Manager Mark Sowa, who, never
dreaming he could win, had a roll of
Turns ready for the winner. Instead,
Mayor Abies presented Sowa with a
spray can painted red to similate a fire
extinguisher and Sowa handed the
mayor the roll of Turns.
