    Cold weather complements Snow Day in La Coste Friday


    Kelly Eisenbarger
    Staff Writer
    It was almost cold enough
    for a real dusting of snow when
    La Coste brought out the annual
    snow slide last Friday.
    City Administrator George
    Salzman was at the helm loading kids up and sending them
    down the surprisingly fast slide.
    Covered head to toe in the
    mud coming off the bottom of
    the inner tubes after their trip
    around the snow Salzman wasnt

    fazed at all. He was just excited


    to get the kids back up again so
    he could try one more time to
    see if his oops its stuck! prank
    would work.
    Seven-year-old
    Adam
    Rodriguez from La Coste was
    having a blast building a miniature snowman.
    Its my first time seeing
    snow. I wish it would really
    snow all the time. Rodriguez
    said.
    Decidedly smaller than last

    year the event had a decent


    sized turnout. The kids would
    get a quick fill of the slide then
    head back home with parents
    to warm up for the evening.
    Despite some not exactly weather appropriate gear, ranging
    from shorts to gloveless hands
    forming snowballs, each child
    had a beaming smile on their
    face.
    There were still small piles
    of snow left until the next afternoon. Maybe next year a snow

    Even the tiniest tikes hopped inside the Texas Snow Party inner tubes for a ride down
    the side. A decked out firefighter and city administrator George Salzman stood at the top

    blower wont even be necessary.


    Mireles Ice chipped up
    the snow and brought out the
    slide and inner tubes. The ice
    company has found a way to
    expand their business and keep
    it up during the slower winter
    months
    Traditionally we do the
    majority of our business in the
    summer but we have to keep our
    guys employed, our ice makers
    making ice and our trucks on
    the road, owner and snow pro

    Jesse Mireles said.


    Mireles told of the first time
    they attempted their snow parties.
    It was at Discovery School
    in San Antonio where we hand
    crushed ice into hundred pound
    tubs all night, Mireles said.
    Since then the company has
    gone through a few iterations
    of the handmade snow slide to
    blow the crushed ice onto made
    out of a flat bed trailer. They now
    take their bagged ice and crush

    it into big industrial snow blowers for 4,000lbs to over 100,000


    lbs worth. Theyve gone on to
    do snow parties for cities, private Christmas parties, Frozen
    themed parties and more.
    Kids really enjoy it and its
    the most rewarding thing we
    do all year being able to provide
    such fun for the kids, Mireles
    said.

    learn more about the Mireles
    snowy fun.

    By starting the Snow Day a little earlier this


    time around the little ones had a chance to play
    before the older children were released from school
    and monopolized all the snow. (Bottom) Adam
    Rodriguez was ecstatic to build his first, albeit tiny,
    snowman. (Photos by Kelly Eisenbarger)

    Poteet PD investigating freak car accident


    Luz Moreno-Lozano
    Staff Writer
    Poteet police are still investigating an accident after a
    vehicle was found overturned
    in a creek. Police Chief Plutarco
    Castro said they received a
    phone call at about 5:30p.m.
    on Sunday afternoon. A man

    was jogging along School


    Drive and looked over the rail
    and saw a car upside down in
    the creek.
    Apparently the accident
    had been there for a while, but
    we dont know for how long,
    Castro said. The best we can
    tell for now is that he was

    heading east on School Drive


    and some how lost control of
    the car and ended up in the
    creek.
    The man was identified as
    35-year-old Juan Gaitan Jr.
    from Charlotte. Castro added
    that the man had not been
    reported missing and they

    were not sure what the cause


    of the accident was. His family
    was notified that night.
    It took until about midnight
    to clear the creek in Poteet.
    Police are still investigating
    the case and hope to find out
    where the accident started and
    how he ended up in the creek.
