Sesame Study Club News

The Sesame Study Club met on October 23rd at the home of Laura Kasper in Shiner. Refreshments were served before the program was introduced which was given by Douglas Kasper on their family business, Kasper Wire Works. He spoke about the beginning of the business and the innovative and sometimes humorous way it began and continued down through the generations. There were and are a staggering array of products they have to offer. Everyone enjoyed his interesting and entertaining presentation immensely. The program was followed by a review given by Ida McGarity of another chapter from the book what the Dog Saw written by Malcolm Gladwell. This was followed by a brief business meeting concluding a most enjoyable afternoon. The next meeting will be held on November 20th at the home of Noell Ince.
Gonzales Book Club News

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Caf by Fannie Flagg was the October choice of the Gonzales Book Club. The running narrative keeps the novel together as the characters tell their stories from the caf, the nursing home, the Weems Weekly Bulletin, and the past remembrances of the people of the town itself. This creates a dynamic story. The theme of the novel is humanity. The characters are accepting of their differences, from race relationships to love relationships. There is Evelyn, who visits Mrs. Threadgoode at the nursing home. Mrs. Threadgoode tells of her memories growing up in Whistle Stop. There is Idgie, who is a very strong character and a tomboy. She grows up into a powerful woman who works at the caf. She serves the blacks out of the back door, no questions asked. There is Stump, Indgies nephew. He has lost his hand in an accident and Idgie teaches him how to deal with this. There is the Ku Klux Klan, the southern law men, the black men. Big George, a black man, is a friend of Idgies. They help each other out of several situations. Small town people with strong personalities make the novel powerful and one you cant put down. We discussed these characters, life in a small town, and our own experiences with the situations explored in the novel. The next meeting of the Gonzales Book Club will be Thursday, Nov. 21 at Lifords Books and Fine Art from 10-11 am. We will discuss Midwives by Chris Bohjalian. This novel is about a midwife who performs an emergency cesarean section on a mother she believes has died. But what if the patient wasnt dead? Anyone interested in a literary discussion is welcome. Please join us.

VernonBo Person, 1933-2013 Longtime Gonzales resident Vernon Bo Person Jr. passed away shortly before midnight Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Mr. Person had suffered many recent health problems and died peacefully in his home with his family at his side. Mr. Person was born to Mildred and Vernon Person on September 27, 1933. A military brat, Vernon spent much of his youth traveling with his Army family, seeing both post-war Germany and Japan. Mr. Person would often recall his fond memories of residing in Okinawa as a young teenager. Few may know that his nickname Bo was given to him by one of the locals. It is a shortened version of a Japanese curse word. At sixteen, Vernon returned to Gonzales to complete his high school education. He lived alone while his family remained in Europe. A natural athlete, Bo excelled at football. He received a scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin and played there from 1953

Henry Dornak
Fort Lewis, Wash. By 1943 he had served as MP at a stockade in Kansas. In early 45 Henry boarded the Isle de France , a liner, in New Jersey and sailed to the European Theatre of Operations, docking in Le Havre, France. Having endured the ocean voyage successfully Henry served as a gate guard at the General Hospital in Paris for six months as security, and also as MP. Eventually Henry raised his rank to technical sergeant, and was earning a comfortable $66/month. Later on, his security training again came in handy for guard duty in a teamster terminal guarding military vehicles. MPs played a major role in the oversight of hundreds of thousands of German POWs brought to the US from Europe. Later Henry would play a role in this program. Although initially unprepared to respond to Britains call for help in managing such huge numbers of German POWs, America responded admirably, and eventually 425,000 German prisoners were brought to the states in the lower holds of empty Liberty ships dead-heading back from Europe. This POW experience was accomplished even though most Germanspeaking US military were already in Europe, and some governmental leaders resistedthinking US citizens would be fearful of escapees. The prisoners were sequestered in 700 separate US camps, with Texas receiving the highest number of all. Although
He registered with the draft in 1940 and later entered the service, training in various locations. He learned the skills of artillery in California, and also trained in the military police known affectionately as MPs. A majority of his time would be spent there, however he also was schooled as a medic in

the axis powers never did conform to the international rules of The Geneva Convention for POWs, the US compliedto the letter. This included decent food, at least as good as C rations, receipt of all mail, and even wages for services rendered in various locations such as non-defense plants and farm labor. Some prisoners even had meat and cigarettes even though they were rationed for Americans. To the surprise of some, German POW camps showed a measure of respect for captured Americans, military pilots (officers) in particular. However the Japanese culture abhorred any person who lowered themselves to surrender in battle, and thoroughly abused their captives of all nations. Henrys active duty service would soon exceed four yearsand he was sent home leaving Southampton by sea, headed for Texas. It was in this season of his life that Henry was bitten hard by the love bug, and he happily married Lilly. Together they would raise six youngsters in Lavaca County. His first civilian job was at the Gonzales cotton gin, working 12 hour shifts, six to six. At 37 cents an hour, it was much less than army pay so he took a railroad job in Waelder. This position was just too strenuous for him and he began to consider his G.I. Bill benefits. An ugly labor dispute convinced Henry to resign, so he decided to do some farming, and attend night school. After two years he was prepared to become a dairy farmer. It wasnt long before he was doing a brisk business with a herd of 33 Guernsey cows. In nine years he upgraded to 100 % stainless equipment throughout, doubling his revenue to $6/CWT. Dairying would continue some 32 years until his son was ready to take over. Sometimes Henry reminisces about his army days as an MP in Europe, but never with any regrets because he gladly served his country with honor.
Americans are losing the war to keep government from going bankrupt, says Larry Smith, because theyre sending the wrong people to Washington to do the job. We keep sending lawyers to do a soldiers job, he said. A soldier is willing to make the sacrifices to accomplish the mission. I didnt risk my life in Iraq to fight for Democrats or Republicans, I did it because I love my country. An Army officer who served overseas helping train Iraqi security forces, Smith plans to seek the Republican nomination for the District 34 Congressional seat now held by Democrat Filemon Vela. The district includes the southern half of Gonzales County, DeWitt County and several other counties in a meandering configuration which includes much of the Rio Grande Valley. It pains me that we have American families being enslaved to the welfare system, because there is no future in government dependence, Smith said Monday during a visit to The Cannon office. That is what welfare does, it forces people to take the crumbs of other people. This is not investing in poor communities, it is dooming them. Smith has a pretty good idea what the welfare state can do to a community. He grew up in Detroit. My dad was a good union man, but we watched the city die because more and more people first couldnt work, then they didnt have to work, he said. Now were seeing the results of those policies. It takes a long time to bankrupt a government, but theyve done it. Smith said he was advised by some party officials in the state Republican heirarchy that District 34 is unwinnable by a Republican. To the contrary, he said, he and other Tea Party and reformminded Republicans have to reach an audience the partys old guard refuses to recognize. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are serving our Hispanic population, he said. The graduation rate in the (Rio Grande) Valley is 20 percent. Employment in the Valley is three times that of the rest of the state. Jobs are not coming to the valley like they are everywhere else in Texas because business needs an educated workforce. The issues of poverty and education are inter-related. Smith said he and fellow reform-minded Republicans need to seize the opportunity to enlist Hispanic support. We need to show the Democratic Party that they cant have the Hispanic
Larry Smith vote, he said. Most Hispanics are very conservative. We have to reach out to them and appeal to those basic beliefs, and show them that we offer a better alternative to hand-outs. The Hispanic culture is the root culture in Texas, and it will one day be the dominant culture here, he said. Education is the root cause of poverty. Anything we invest in that in these communities will help the country. Smith said the often-bitter partisanship which has precluded a lot of potential action in Congress comes because the Washington establishment is, first and foremost, self-protecting. Lawyers are never going to sacrifice their livelihoods to fix whats wrong, he said. Veterans know what it means to sacrifice to accomplish the mission. He offered an observation that the office of the Vice President could end a lot of the partisanship in Washington if it were filled with someone who was willing to sacrifice personal ambition. Use that office to bully Congress, If you dont do this I will direct all the pressure I can to make sure you lose your seat, he said. After four years, hed take the political bullet, but a lot of the logjam would be gone. We need a vice president who can play the bad guy. He also suggested another way to add a layer of accountability to Congress: legislate, or amend the Constitution, to enable state legislatures to determine the pay, benefits and staffing of all members of Congress. That would make them a whole lot more accountable to the states, and through that to the people, he said. Currently an oilfield company employee, Smith said energy and farming are two key issues in his campaign. Farmers need a lot of support, not just from D.C. but also from Austin, he said. Farmers do more than produce food. Farmers produce good citizens. If you regulate what theyre doing too much well, look at what regulation has done to health care. Bureaucracy feeds on itself.

Alarmists doing more harm than good to conservatives

When some of the would-be progressive tyrants in Congress suggested recently that they should be allowed to re-write the First Amendment to define who actually should be considered a journalist and thus afforded the protection of the freedom of the press, those of us who are in the business reacted in rather sharp fashion. Real journalists, both conservative and liberal, immediately recognized the danger of giving politicians a say-so in defining our profession. We stood virtually unanimous in opposition to the notion that the term journalist could only apply to members of certain recognized news organizations because if weve learned nothing else in the last six years, its that the people in charge of our government dont like being held accountable to the public and theyre vengeful about it. There are occasions, however, when we in the real news business would like to distance ourselves from some of the others who claim they are journalists. Quite frankly, they embarass us. A story in Alex Jones infowars. com by someone named Kit Daniels last Wednesday blared a loud

warning that the United Nations is going to take over The Alamo, warbling shrilly that the powder blue flag of the UN would replace the Texas flag and the grounds would become subject to justice meted out by foreigners decked out in those sissy UN uniforms. Please allow me to quote Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, whose agency oversees The Alamo along with the Daughters of the Republic of Texas: Horse hockey. In a news release on Wednesday, Patterson reiterated that a World Heritage Nomination will not change authority, jurisdiction or ownership of the Alamo or any of the other Spanish missions. Some folks might think that getting on this list means the UN has some sort of influence at the
Alamo. Those folks must not be from around here, Patterson said. The people of Texas own the Alamo now and in the future. Nothing is going to change that. Just because the Alamo is a National Historic Landmark does not mean the federal government owns the Alamo, Patterson said. Its a tourism designation indicating its a place of historic significance. That is all. Same goes for the World Heritage List. Daniels alarmist story stems from a meeting in San Antonio Sept. 19 hosted by Mayor Julian Castro in which a panel (which included an official with the Land Commission) presented plans for renovations to Alamo Plaza (the business district immediately surrounding the shrine). Frank Gonzales, Bexar County coordinator for the Texas Nationalist Movement, attended the meeting and related that Castro and his panel did not convince the majority of the audience of any need for the World Heritage designation, in particular. Castros political leanings and ambitions are well-known, and he is no friend to Texas heritage. The Mayor used verbal judo to play down any opposition and
the movie director made the sales pitch, Gonzales said. Gonzales said he remained unconvinced about the UN designation and said he spoke with National Park Ranger Susan Snow about the idea. Snow told him the designation would have the City of San Antonio ponying up $800,000 a year to the United Nations The World Heritage designation would be handled by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizatio (UNESCO). UNESCO has never been a friend of the United States, openly advocates global government and has infiltrated public education ranks in the U.S. with a decidedly socialist agenda. Nonetheless, as Patterson said, Texas officials have studied the idea in depth, and it appears to be exactly what it is: an attempt to bolster tourism. Patterson has stood FOR The Alamo and for Texas on two other attempts to denigrate the shrine with crass commercialism; I think that denotes some credibility on the issue. What is maddening to real journalists of a conservative bent is that sites like infowars.com continue to perpetrate alarmist news long after its been debunked. The pre-
ponderance of rabid left-wingers in the major news media make it hard enough to get the truth out there to begin with; I cant begin to tell you how many times Ive been told by other members of the liberal media to stop watching Fox News which, being a reputable journalist, I dont watch. What Alex Jones tinfoil-hat minions need to understand is that he and his website make a living by preying on fear, and theyre more than willing to bend the truth to fit whatever fear they want to raise among their audience an audience the mainstream leftist news media loves to characterize as dimwitted. Every time the alarmists whip up a viral reaction as they did with this story, the conservative movement loses another degree of credibility. Websites like infowars.com, personalities like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh: they are not journalists. They do not practice fairness any more than MSNBC and CNN do. And in perpetrating false reports simply to generate traffic to their websites or radio or TV shows, they are harming the conservative movement far more than they are helping it.
Immigration reform, yes; comprehensive, no way

The battle over immigration reform has started and at the center of the debate is whether it should be comprehensive or piecemeal. Liberals and conservatives both agree about the need to reform the immigration laws and process; however the argument is about how to do it. According to Merriam-Websters online dictionary the adjective comprehensive means including many, most, or all things. Another online dictionary defines it as something so large in scope or content as to include much. When talking about all things in immigration, we need to consider the enforcement of the laws at the border and in the interior of the nation. We need to consider the immigrants length of stay and the purpose of visit, whether they are tourists, students, workers, or refugees. We need to consider their background and whether they are a security risk to our nation. We need to figure out what do with the children of illegal aliens and those brought here as minors. We need to determine what to do with aliens detainees when their

country of origin does not take them back. In short, there are many issues and considerations related to immigration. Having worked at the U.S. Department of Justice on immigration issues, including the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, I can tell you from personal experience that each issue has its own special interest group pushing it. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been lobbying for a guest worker program, while liberal Hispanic groups have been lobbying for amnesty and pathway to citizenship. Conservative groups want enforcement of the laws first before there is any discussion of other issues. But the main fact is that we cannot follow the ObamaCare approach to immigration reform. We cannot have a comprehensive immigration reform bill that no one reads, debates, or understands. Any proposed legislation must be properly reviewed and vetted point by point, issue by issue. Immigration is too complex to be rolled into a neat package by liberals and presented as an absolute solution. We must learn from the Obamacare experience that a comprehensive legislative approach to anything is a carwreck in action. However, Hispanic liberals have mounted a campaign to sway the public by using the race card. Liberals and the mainstream media are promoting the idea that immigration is a Hispanic issue, and anyone delaying or opposing comprehensive reform is a racist. Even some Republican Hispanics in Texas are scaring their own elected officials over the Hispanic vote. As I have stated before, immigration is NOT a Hispanic issue, and all Hispanics are NOT the same. My family has lived in south Texas for five generations and my father opposed the hiring of Mexican illegal aliens because they depressed wages and competed for jobs with Mexican-Americans. There are many second and third generations Hispanics who view immigration as only a border security issue. Will Republican legislators turn tail and run on this issue as many did on ObamaCare? I believe that conservative Hispanics must come to the front on this issue and not let the liberal race-baiters win. Immigration reform is needed, but not comprehensive legislation.
Obamacares false promise

To say that President Barack Obama is on the record telling Americans they can keep their current health insurance is an understatement. He repeated the assurance so many times during the health-care debate that it was almost a verbal tic. He was stirring: Americans must have the freedom to keep whatever doctor and health-care plan they have. He was adamant: If you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health-care plan. Period. He was clear: Let me be clear: If you like your doctor or health-care provider, you can keep them. If you like your health-care plan, you can keep that, too. He had to keep repeating his promise, since there was so much bad information out there. No matter what youve heard, he said in a weekly radio address in August 2009, if you like your doctor or health-care plan, you can keep it. Practically no Obama speech was complete without this disclaimer. Rarely has a major domestic program been sold on the basis of a premise so patently untrue. No matter what youve heard from the president of the United States, hundreds of thousands of people in states around the country are now receiving notices that their insurance is getting canceled. It raises the question of how the president could be so wrong about a basic element of his own signature initiative. Until now, Obama hasnt been pressed to square what he said with the reality of those cancellation notices. But the dam is breaking. Former adviser David Axelrod has refined the Obama promise to say that most people can keep their insurance, which doesnt have quite the same ring as the presidents sweeping statements of yore. White House spokesman Jay Carney conceded under questioning that some plans are being axed. It may be true, per Axelrod, that most people with insurance in the country are keeping it, but most

people in the individual market are losing it. Robert Laszewski of the consultancy Health Policy and Strategy Associates estimates that 19 million people are covered in the individual market and 16 million of them have plans that dont pass muster under the exacting new Obamacare rules. This is a problem of a different order than the travails of healthcare. gov. The website will presumably get fixed; its failures are a bug, not a feature. Throwing people off old plans, in contrast, is central to Obamacares remaking of American health insurance. Carney justified the cancellations as the shedding of substandard policies, by which he means policies that are more affordable and less comprehensive than allowed under the law. Many of the people who found that those policies suited them will now be forced to buy different, more expensive policies. Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, is planning to offer legislation grandfathering those plans so people can really keep them. Johnsons bill would force Democrats to choose between defending the law and standing by Obamas frequently repeated promise. They will, of course, choose the law. The line about how Americans must have the freedom to keep whatever doctor and health-care plan they have isnt operative, and never was. Welcome to Obamacare.

Decided to drop in to see what condition the regulars condition was in. Down at The Dirt Dauber. Autumn air is filtering in through the open doors yet the cigarette smoke lingers on inside despite the ceiling fans futile attempt to clear and clean the air. Regulars are gathered in a semi-circle. But there is no round table for the haphazard discussion taking place. Which tells one the talk is apt to be a little square. On hand to make up a forum at what a stranger might consider to be a board of directors meeting are: Beanbag, Smiley, Beavertooth, Fuzzy, and Gusher McNugget, the selfappointed Chairman of the Board. Apparently, Fuzzys been here sipping for a spell. He just spilled his beer prompting Gusher to call out for a bar rag. Might as well bring us another round while youre up, he adds. As it is the daily norm, conversing centers on the oil boom in the area, who has or hasnt a well, the lower-case dallas cowboys, UT on The Drag Longhorns, the World Serious, the Spurs, bird and deer hunting, and back-stabbing whoever walks out the door. Oops, in walks a relative newcomer, Rat Cheese. Rat showed up several weeks ago and nobody no knows much about his background. And that pretty much rankles the regulars. Cause they collectively consider another bodys business is their busyness. A couple of days ago Gusher was musing out loud on what he thought of Rat Cheese.
Scratch Pad
Jim Cunningham is a former longtime Gonzales newsman and the former interim publisher of the Gonzales Cannon. He now lives in the Moulton area.
I bet he has something to do with oil or gas. Bound to. Cant believe he comes in every day and has one or two beers and never offers anything to our way of thinking. Hell, he could buy the house a round or two. Rat Cheese, to me, appears to be his own person. And not one to conform. In manner or dress. Hes partial to an Elmer Fudd cap with floppy flaps flopping over the ears. But he doesnt strike me as a hunter. Doesnt seem the sort with the heart to drop a deer. Strange looking fella with Marty Feldman eyes and a Popeye jaw. Teeth like Grandpa Jones. Probably an Aries. Reared in the Midwest. Maybe from Kansas or Nebraska. Darn if he doesnt have a look about im akin to extra-terrestrial. Now why am I stereotyping this gent? Thats not kosher. Labeling folks is something best left to others, or the regulars. Consider one of Gushers judgmental tirades and rants. Especially when hes stiff and grouchy as a coyote with rheumatism. After consuming a half dozen brews it is not
uncommon for Gusher to speak definitively, as such. Lets cock an ear and tune in to his sermon. Now I have been around the block, boys. I know which way the traffic flows. And in my many travels I can assure you that Norwegian people often get trolls and nymphs confused. And Mexicans, if they wish, can return from the dead to form Mariachi bands. When I was in Holland I once saw a Dutchman communicate freely with a dead duck. Gee whiz, Gusher how do you know all this? I just do. And I can tell you this, too, New Yorkers are a different species, Lutherans up in Minnesota are strongly opposed to the string bikini, and Czech women are immune to bed sores. Fuzzy shakes his head in awe, spills another beer, and offers, Well shoot a bug. I didnt know any of that! I consider it a shame that we judge people with our eyes and ears. And not the heart. Just about anywhere you go these days you are apt to hear pulpy and tacky idjits postulating. Stereotyping their own species. Assuming all Mexicans are lazy, yet good at mowing lawns; Jews are greedy; Irish people are drunks; English people have bad teeth; Asians are good at math, eat rice and can out spell anyone; Blacks are poor; all Arabs and Muslims are terrorists. And not to be left out, white people are trailer trash or rednecks or bluebloods, and racists. Bankers are crooks, writers are boozers, blondes are dumb, and white people also worship Walmart. Good grief, Gladys. Get real.
And down here in the Blue Jean Belt of Texas its the belief anyone north of the Red River is a Damn Yankee! Of course, Texans are stereotyped also. We all wear cowboy hats and boots, say yall and ride horses (99 per cent of us dont). Everyone owns a gun. Texans are brassy, loud and obnoxious (that has some truth to it, at times, in especially if you hang out at The Dirt Dauber). We are guilty of letting our prejudices and assumptions define what a person or group or race or gender is. And it is wrong. To my dismay, I have been found guilty of the crime of discrimination. But it doesnt pay to jump to conclusions we have found. Consider, the tables are ofttimes turned. Thirty years ago geek and nerd were a derogatory terms. Whos laughing now, in the tech age. All the way to the bank. One reason we stereotype, I feel, is that it is easier to assume something is true than to bother with looking up the facts. Or to make a knowledgeable assessment on an individual basis. We have the tendency to trivialize, ridicule and demonize others without reflecting on our own selves. That makes us all strangers in a strange land. As the thought goes, at times, in public, mind you, I get a tad pensive and wonder why I am not in a mental institution. Then I take a look around and realize maybe I already am. Or will be down the road. Once you label me you negate me. Seren Kierkegaard
Letters to the Editor New Walmart has some problems

Dear Editor, Well, just when I thought things couldnt get worse, they did!. I returned to Wal-Mart for the fifth time since they opened. I cruised around the parking lot, but could not find a handicapped spot. So, having to go to the pharmacy, I decided to use the drive up window. Holy Cow! Are you kidding me? I was confronted with an opening containing a large plastic container about the size of a small briefcase stuck into an opening about half the containers size. I tried to remove it, but because I was in my pickup, I was too high to be able to maneuver the container out of the opening, plus I could only use one hand. So I pulled forward, got out of my truck, placed my order in the container, placed it in the carrier and hit send. A few seconds later a face appeared on the TV screen and said, Sir, place your order in the container and hit send. I told her I already did that and she said she had not received it. I told her it had gone from me so I didnt know what else to do. After a few seconds the container returned and I re-sent it. This time it worked. The question here is, since the pharmacy is located right behind the drive thru, wouldnt a simple service window like the have at the city and GVEC be more efficient? I returned to Walmart the next day because I had to go to the pharmacy again. Again, no handicapped spot available, but I did find regular parking spot about halfway up the lane. I entered the entrance and lo and behold, they moved all the pumpkins! I found the only available riding cart which was being ridden in a circle by an employee. She asked if I wanted it. DUH! Off I went shopping. I went to the Deli counter and they had an advertised special posted on the counter. I asked for it and the girl did not know what it was, so she called the manager out and the manager didnt know what it was. Are you kidding me? I asked for a pound of
meat and the gal sliced for a while and put it on the scale, it was less than a half pound so she sliced about 10 more pieces and it was slightly over a half pound. She sliced 10 more pieces and it was short of three-quarters of a pound, so I took it because my patience was running out. I next proceeded to the music/CD area and was looking for certain artists and couldnt find them. I asked a clerk there why they didnt have these popular artists CDs. He said they had them, but they were all mixed up and that you had to look through the stacks to find them! I asked who did the music and he told me an outside company came in and did it. REALLY? An outside company and they cant put artists in alphabetical order? I left the CD area with no purchase. WOW Walmart do you need serious management help! Pat Rosato Cost
What you dwell on matters

What you dwell on matters. If your life is out of control you can be sure that your thoughts are too. Philippians 4:8 tells us to keep our minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly and proper; never to stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. Do your thoughts fit into one of the categories we are told to keep our minds focused on? If not, dismiss them immediately. If you dont learn to take control of your thoughts, they will surely take control of you. This subject of renewing our minds into the likeness of Christ is mentioned over and over again in the New Testament for our benefit. We are emphatically told to put to death our natural inclination to be self-serving and to guard our minds from anything that will stimulate our fleshly desires. Why? Because our natural human tendency is to do whatever pleases our senses. This usually leads to trouble. And, without salvation we all are slaves to sin and controlled by the power of the devil. This means that without Gods help we dont have the power to fight off temptation or the devil. Self-centeredness began the day Adam and Eve acted on their desires to taste the forbidden fruit. Their fall from grace began with a thought that the devil planted in their minds, which they chose to dwell on. You know what? We fall into the devils trap in the same way. Selfishness has been an issue for all of us since that fateful day. If this were not so, Paul would not have had this to say to the Colossian church: You have been raised to life with Christ. Now set your heart on what is in heaven, where Christ rules at Gods right side. Think about what is up there, not about what is here on earthDont be controlled by your body. Kill every desire for the wrong

kind of sex. Dont be immoral or indecent or have evil thoughts. Dont be greedy, which is the same as worshiping idols. God is angry with people who disobey him by doing these things. And that is exactly what you did, when you lived among people who behaved in this way. But now you must stop doing such things. You must quit being angry, hateful, and evil. You must no longer say insulting or cruel things about others. And stop lying to each other. You have given up your old way of life with its habits. Each of you is now a new person. You are becoming more and more like your Creator, and you will understand him better...So be gentle, kind, humble, meek, and patient. Put up with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you. Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together. Each one of you is part of the body of Christ, and you were chosen to live together in peace. So let the peace that comes from Christ control your thoughts. What are you dwelling on? Many of us fall into temptation because we have not learned to guard our minds. Too often we allow the wrong things to enter our minds, and dwell on them long enough to get our emotions stirred up. And, we are all creatures of habit who automatically react to our strongest emotion. This is why the bible tells us to exchange our old ways of thinking for those of Christ. Aside from Christ there is no hope for overcoming our fleshly desires. Yes, changing our self-centered nature is a pain-

hottest days of summer, sit back and enjoy. I had such a unit in the early 60s and 70s. Technology used then would still be good today. I am tired of our state and national government spending millions upon millions of our dollars for solar and wind systems that do not work. Where are our State Sepresentatives and Senators concerning this? Where are our U.S. Reps. and Senator John Cornyn? Dry natural gas is plentiful and cheap. I want the public to hear from elected officials. Robert S. Meyer Stafford
EDITORS NOTE: Solar and wind systems DO actually work, but solar panels in particular are more expensive than many current forms of energy generation. The State of Texas, however, leads the nation in windenergy production we produce more green energy than even eco-obsessed California. In one month in 2011, in fact, one-quarter of the energy used in the Texas grid was generated by wind power. But by and large, the failure of federal programs designed to stimulate the green energy industry have failed because of corruption, not necessarily because of the technology involved. Editor

fully slow and difficult undertaking; yet, we believers have the power to change our ways of thinking if we are willing to put in the effort. The bible tells us that before salvation we are all slaves to sin and are controlled by the devil. People who are not saved cant help themselves from acting on their wrong thoughts. Its like they are trapped in a cage with no way out. The good news is that salvation opens the door to that cage. The bad news is that many Christians dont know they are free to walk out. Far too many Christians are missing out on the full benefits of salvation because they dont realize that Christ died for more than their eternal life. Although this is more than any of us deserved, Christ also died to set us free from our mental anguish and tormenting thoughts. Through Christ we now have an ever-present counselor, comforter and guide. We also have the power to resist every temptation, and will never be trapped in a situation without a way of escape. Now, this doesnt mean we should put ourselves into situations that will test our weaknesses. The devil is always prowling around to see who he can catch off guard. So, lets not deceive ourselves. There is a desire for forbidden fruit within each of us. You will recognize what you have a particular taste for when the thought of it makes your mouth water. The devil knows exactly what will ensnare you. Make sure you do too. This is good advice about not entertaining wrong thoughts...You cant stop the birds from flying over your head, but you dont have to let them nest in your hair.

GONZALES: Council nixes idea for downtown tax rebates

Continued from page A1

based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus two. The total amount of the $256,800 loan is roughly 80 percent of the cost of the new building. To further assist with the funding, Lone Star Bank will waive its $2,560 origination fee and also help the City apply for a $25,000 non-repayable federal grant. We have a pretty good record of getting grants for projects like this, said Kapavik. We will do everything possible to get that for you. The City will likely pay a 20 percent down payment with the funds already saved in the fire departments account. Additional funds are expected to come in the form a $25,000 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority, who has recently made such awards to other area fire departments like Ottine. The department will also seek other grants from GVEC and oil companies working within the region such as EOG Resources. Weve got a letter ready to go to them, said Karl Hutton. We just wanted to have something in place to show them that we are ready to go with the building. Waelder Fire Chief Adam Ramirez said the new building is essential because the department needs more room to house its vehicles and equipment in order to keep them from being damaged by exposure to outside elements. I dont know of any other department around us who leaves their apparatus outside like that, he said. We have a new tanker thats just deteriorating rapidly. In another agenda item, the council heard a presentation regarding the construction project by Gonzales Healthcare Systems for an improved medical clinic in Waelder. Connie Kacir, the executive director of Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation, asked the council for a $25,000 donation to go towards the construction and also gave an overview of what the new facility would entail.

GEDCs Small Business Incentive Program. The facade grants will now be available in amounts up to $15,000 or a maximum of 80 percent of the project on a reimbursible basis. They had previously been sent at $10,000. The SBIP grants will also increase from $10,000 to $15,000 on a 50/50 reiumbursable basis, and will no longer be a loan program. Economic Development Director Carolyn Gibson-Baros told the council both proposals came out of a review by GEDCs Downtown Commitee in public meetings with property owners in the area. As a loan program, we had no applications (last year), she said. We already have people ready to submit applications as a grant program. Council also approved another GEDC proposal which will reimburse property owners who relocate utility connections from the front of their buildings to the rear. The grant is for up to $2,500 and is available to those who have utilized or will utilize the facade grant program. The tax rebate proposal, however, met with opposition from the council. If we grant this, then whats next, we just keep going? questioned councilman Lorenzo Hernandez. Theres folks on the bypass asking why they cant get a break, too. I understand those buildings are va-
cant because the prices theyre wanting to charge are outrageous, councilman Gary Schroder added. So if they do these improvements and business improves, theyre just going to jack the rates up. Councilman Tommy Shurig agreed with Schroder but said hed be more amenable to the idea if it included the citys historic homes area. The only problem I have with this is that the rents too high, he said. The proposal died for lack of a motion. The Council also gave approval for a preliminary architectural design contract to be awarded to TSG Architects for redesign of the Gonzales Public Library. City Manager Allen Barnes told the Council that an unnamed potential benefactor is willing to gift the city with funding for much of the work but wants to keep the library at its current location on St. Joseph at St. Matthew St. With Gonzales ISD expected to locate its new Early Childhood Center across the street, Hernandez questioned whether or not that location would become a traffic nightmare. Our potential benefactor has said that if her money is involved, it will be on that property, Barnes replied. Funds for that project are expected to become available in early 2014. In other action Monday, the Council: Approved the final 2013 Tax Roll for the city; Tabled action on suggested changes to
the citys personnel manual; Authorized longevity pay for city employees, a policy which has aided in an increase in retention over the last year; Authorized a rate fee study to be conducted to determine how closely the citys fee structure meets that of other surrounding and similar municipalities; Approved a request from First United Methodist Church for street closures for
its annual Fifth Quarter event; Approved a tax resale bid on a property located at 918 Ainsworth; Authorized a contract with Hoover Construction Co. to replace an 8-inch sewer line along Cone Street; Approved the transfer of a franchise for gas services previously granted to ONEOK, Inc. to Texas Gas Services/One Gas Inc.

As a rural community health provider, we recognize the need for Waelder to recieve quality health care including expanded and additional services, she said. Kacir said the hospital has plans to build a new 3,000-square foot facility in Waelder, but at this time they cant solely bear the $300,000 cost. The city councils financial support of this medical clinic project would validate the essential necessity of a new facility and additionally, your leadership would be exemplified in the following development and economic benefits for the city of Waelder, she said. Kacir said the hospital just recently committed to expand services for the clinic by hiring a new full time nurse practitioner to serve the Waelder clinic. The business plan is to operate 40 hours a week for one year at the current clinic with hopes of moving into the new building by that years end. By that time, we hope to be seeing nearly two and a half times of the patient base that we are seeing right now, said Kacir. The clinic is currently operating from 9-11:45 a.m. and was able to see just under 1,700 patients working under those limited conditions. Kacir said the new building would also allow the clinic to house offices for specialty doctors like cardiologists, podiatrists, endocrinologists and opthalmologists, as determined by the needs of the community. In addition, the hospital would like to encompass a pharmacy because demographics reflect that 37.7 percent of the Waelder population does not have transportation. One of the major challenges we perceive for this area is how will patients get their prescriptions, said Kacir. We are currently in negotiations with two pharmacists on a joint venture to address that issue. Our hope is to have adequate service available daily for your residents. Due to the absences of council members Roy Tovar and Peggy Blackmon, the council decided to table the issue of making the donation until their next meeting.
tive approval outcome for the bond initiatives ensures enrollment, security, and required maintenance needs and preparation for the future On behalf of Gonzales ISD and the Gonzales ISD School Board of Trustees, we thank you for your support of your Gonzales Independent School District. The final numbers in GISD didnt come in until after 1 a.m. on Wednesday because of issues getting counts to match among early and mail ballots cast at the districts central location. In the Nixon-Smiley CISD, voters approved a tax rollback proposal by a 16821 margin which will have the end effect of eliminating the districts debt-service tax. During an August meeting it was proposed the district maintain its current tax rate of $1.28, which because of an increase in property values would effectively increase revenues by 6.6 percent, triggering the rollback election. The proposal eliminates the 11-cent debt-service rate while maintaining the operational rate of $1.17, amounting to an overall decrease of 2.5 percent. For the owner of a home valued at $100,000, the total taxes paid would rise around $60 per year. Voters in the Yoakum and
Cuero ISDs gave approval to bond proposals for $50 and $76 million, respectively, but those in Hallettsville rejected a $10.5 million issue for the Hallettsville school district. In Yoakum, the final tally was 441 votes in favor of the bonds, 196 against. The money will be used to build two gymnasiums, multiple new classrooms, a physical education/multipurpose classroom, science labs, a new junior high band hall, a new vocational building, an intermediate library and three cafeteria additions. Also included will be renovations to bus-loading zones, sidewalks and covered walkways. In Hallettsville, however, voters defeated a $10.5 million proposal to expand the library, prevent walk-up access, add classrooms and improve technology, electrical and air conditioning systems at the elementary campus. At the junior high campus, HISD planned to build a new cafeteria as well as correct some drainage and
foundation issues,. The debt service tax rate was expected to increase 11 cents per $100 in valuation from $1.1027 to $1.2163, raising taxes about $113 per year on an average $100,000 home. In Cuero, voters approved a $76 million bond issue to build two new schools and an 80-seat fine arts center. The bonds, expected to be financed over 25 years, will fund construction of two new elementary schools; renovations at the intermediate, junior high and high school; a new gymnasium; band hall and expanded seating at Gobbler Stadium. The district also plans to install security, technology and energy conservation equipment throughout the district. The approval of the issue will cost property owners about 33 cents per $100 valuation in increases to the districts debt-service tax rate, an increase of about $330 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home.

Citizenship is something that should be honored, recognized and given status. It has nothing to do with academic achievement and anyone can achieve it. The essence of good citizenship is respect - respect for authority, respect for others, respect for self, and respect for rules. It is an attitude that begins at home and is reinforced at school and applied throughout life. Pictured are the Gonzales Junior High Awesome Apaches for the week of October 25 (from left): I.G.

Today in Texas History

Nov. 7, 1835
On this day in 1835, at San Felipe, the Consultation adopted the Declaration of November 7, 1835, a statement of causes for taking up arms against Mexico preliminary to the Texas Declaration of Independence. The document declared that the Texans had taken up arms in defense of their rights and liberties and the republican principles of the Mexican Constitution of 1824. Among other assertions, the declaration stated that Texas was no longer bound by the compact of union, that Texans would not cease to carry on war against the Centralist troops in Texas, that the Texans had the right to establish an independent government, and that Texas would reward with lands and citizenship those who volunteered their services to her in the struggle.

Search continues for woman lost in flood Friday

By CEDRIC IGLEHART

The Cannon

Heavy rains Oct. 31 forced a number of road closures in the area and led to the deaths of at least five people in Central Texas as the San Marcos and Guadalupe rivers rose to flood stage. Some livestock in the Ottine area was cut off by floodwaters and Palmetto State Park suffered some damage, but sunny weather on Friday is credited for keeping the Guadalupe from closing Highway 183. (Photos by Dave Mundy and Mark Lube)
Caldwell Co.
The search, which continued into the early hours of Saturday morning, was impeded by darkness and high treacherous waters. Efforts by the Caldwell County Sheriff s Office, area volunteer fire departments and Swift Water Rescue Team divers have included the use of cadaver dogs, DPS helicopters and sonar to locate the female subject. The search has continued to yield negative results, as of press time. Brice was reportedly taken into custody by police on Friday on a warrant from Travis County for violation of a protective order. Overall, a total of five bodies have been recovered following the storms and flooding in Central Texas. The Comal County Sheriff s Office located the body of Samuel Rosson Jr., 26 of Canyon Lake, last Sunday about 50 yards from where he fell into the Guadalupe River. A woman and her infant son were found dead last Friday, a day after their vehicle was swept away in the Austin area near Onion Creek. Two bodies were recovered by authorities last Thursday. The Caldwell County Sheriff s Office found a man who had been swept out of his vehicle in Dale and Austin police discovered another mans body in the Onion Creek area.
CALDWELL COUNTY Authorities are still searching for the woman who has been missing ever since she was swept away by flood waters last Friday. Caldwell County Sheriff Daniel said that on November 1 at 9:53 p.m., deputies responded to 142 Elm Creek Road to meet with a complainant who was advising he and his female companion had driven his vehicle into a low water crossing and had been swept away. Upon arrival, deputies met with the man who then directed them to Brushy Creek on Palonia Road, which is off of FM 2001. Investigation revealed that man, who was identified by a published TV report as Willie Mason Brice, Jr., had driven his truck pass a barricaded area and entered into the swift water. As the vehicle was being swept away, the man managed to get out of his truck which was fully submerged, but he did not know whether his female companion had made it out of the truck or not. Published reports have identified the woman as 57-year old Cynthia Jean McKee. The Chisholm Trail Fire Department and the Department of Public Safety were dispatched to the area and emergency personnel exhausted every available means to locate the subject with negative results.

Businesses around Gonzales got into the spirit of things for Halloween. There was, of course, the haunted hotel over at Days Inn and Suites, with Ashley Guerra, Beverly Bond and Kathy Balderas. We would normally never refer to anyone working at Sage Capital Bank as a witch, but when the hat fits ... brewing up a good time for visitors in the lobby were Crissy ONeal, Leticia Grifaldo Patsy Stamport, Deana Malatek, Sammie Massie and Teresa Brzozowski.
Marlaina Haberman, the director of the Gonzales Memorial Museum, put on a Haunted Museum and greeted trick-or-treaters dressed as pioneer Sarah DeWitt.
At the Gonzales Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture, meanwhile, student associate Faith LaFleur got a chance to try out Gonzales new fairy garden while executive director Daisy Scheske paid tribute to Dawn of the Dead and Andra Fridrich stood by to doctor everyone up.

rural Vista Road Ranch-area. Approximately 400 barrels of crude oil was released affecting limited ground area and two livestock ponds. Initial response included the shut down of the pipeline, excavation to find the leak, and berming the perimeter of the two livestock ponds; containment efforts were successful. After Wednesdays torrential rains, additional precautions were taken to ensure that no runoff contaminated additional areas. Judge Janeckas initial concerns were for the publics safety and the environment, both land and ground water. Contact with the Texas Railroad Commission confirmed the clean up effort was underway under its supervision and that of the EPA. KPL supplied any and all requests from the County for information. Because of the muddy conditions caused by Wednesday nights downpour, the tour was delayed by one day. Access to the area was challenging and KPL provided all-terrain vehicles so that all the officials could view the clean up operations; KPL representatives were on-hand to answer any questions posed by the officials. In addition to Judge Janecka, Sheriff Korenek and Koch representatives, included in the tour were officials from: Texas Department of Public Safetys Disaster District 12 and USDA

Green hair? Rehabilitated? Youve got to be kidding me

You know it takes a very positive person to even listen to the news these days. I looked at the TV news in disbelief at the woman coming out of rehab with green hair. I dont think that they rehabilitated her too well if they let her come out of rehab with green hair. Maybe the gun slingers or bounty hunters did the Western world a favor. They got rid of the mean and crazy people in the world without any ado. Veterans Day is November 11th. Please honor your Veteran. He has given his life to protect each one of us and our freedom to say and do as we please. It doesnt matter whether you are young or old. Show them that you appreciate them. The Thanksgiving Supper at Belmont will be November 16th at the Belmont Community Center at 6PM. It will be potluck. Everyone should bring two large dishes of a meat or a vegetable, and/ or a salad or dessert. There is no charge but we need to be sure that we have enough meat and enough variety of food. PRAYER TIME: Joe Kotwig, Linda Denker, Case Martin, Ronda Pruett, Landis Kern, Mr. Bill, Jesse Esparza; Bill Lott, Louise Jones, Sandy Ingram, Aunt Georgie Gandre; Danny and Joyce Schellenberg, Sarge Dunkin, Aunt Frances Gandre, Bubba and Sara Roecker, Glenn Mikesh, Lillie Lay, Maria Castillo, Phyllis and Alton Oncken, Selma Vickers, Keith Glass, Teresa Wilke, Sandi Gandre, Aunt Betty Gandre, Margie Menking, Joy Carson, Arthur Casares, Harold Pape, Brock Stewart, Shirley Dozier, Marie Schauer, L.A.

Judy Wilson, Bob Young, Marguerite Williams, and our military and their families, Sympathy to The family of Tim Sommerlatte, The family of Bessie Cleveland, The family of Gloria Knandel Now I am going to have to straighten out the error of my ways here. Carmen Kraft is really a first cousin when you really get down to brass tacks. I dont think that it really matters because we loved her just the same. Also it was a reunion of the Soefje Cousins at Ottine not the Heinemeyers. Ceretta laughingly told me that if it was the Heinemeyers that they would have had to find a huge place to have it. It sort of put a thought into our heads that maybe we should get together soon before we all got too many more creaky bones and couldnt get there. I know that the Gandres have one soon. I wonder if we are going to be graced with Dr. Megan Calks presence. I am just so proud of her and the fact that she received her Doctorate degree Pharmacy from Texas A & M Ella Rangle College of Pharmacy at Kingsville, TX. Now she is over there in Tennesee doing her internship and lonesome for Texas food. That is sad. It was good to see L. A. Lindemann Jr. at church Sunday. He is holding his own at the moment. Please keep praying and dont quit. You know how these things are. You never quit. Keep on sending him cards. It doesnt matter. Just dont give up.
Our heart goes out to the Joe Svoboda family in the tragic fire that engulfed their house. Mr. Joe himself died inside the house. He managed to push his wife, Dorothy, out the bedroom window. She suffered burns on her arms and legs but the real problem is the burns to her lungs and the respiratory system. She
is in San Antonio. Please pray for the whole family. A house fire is such a tragic thing because you lose all your belongings, with your memories of pictures, and when a life is lost it is worse than ever. Happy Birthday to Nancy Gandre and Happy Birthday to Melba Lentz. Wish both of these people a very

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Now I know our beautiful Nancy celebrated her birthday and had a great time. Sweet Pea has encountered a new critter-a horse. The bad thing about the horse is that she thinks that when this big horse stomps its front feet at her that it is trying to play with her. No dear Sweet Pea. You have aggravated the ani-
mal so much that it is mad at you and you had better stay away from its feet or it might stomp you in the process. It is a good thing that she can move fast. We dont have any reindeer around here. I think all the deer have disappeared except on the highway where you can hit them. Have a good week and God Bless.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Dont race ahead to get the early advantage this week, Aries. Practice patience in all that you do this week, and you may find greater success. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there is a high level of uncertainty in your life right now, so it is best to take a conservative approach regarding your finances. Take big decisions seriously. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Keep your options open, as things look promising this week, Gemini. Many things will catch your eye, but you will have to make some tough decisions. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your career takes
an unexpected turn that leads you in an exciting new direction. But these changes may take a few weeks or even months to fully develop. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may have your sights set on an exotic vacation, but you just dont have the money to make it happen right now. Save for your dream getaway or take a quick jaunt to recharge. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may prefer clearly defined relationships, but this week someone comes into your life who you just cant read. This person makes a lasting impression. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, although your vision for the future is grand, you may not know how to execute your rise to success right now. Find a mentor who can show you the ropes. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may not have
the time to be a shoulder to cry on this week, but a trusted confidante will need your assistance. Take the time out for this special friend.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, surprises are coming your way. Though you may want to control the situation, you have to sit back and let the chips fall where they may. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, dont allow daydreaming to distract you from the tasks at hand. Distractions will only derail your plans, so
do your best to keep them at a minimum. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, an ongoing issue must be addressed this week. Proscratination will only delay the inevitable, so tackle this issue head-on.

It was the ever-proper Emily Post who made the following sage observation: Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use. During the Dark Ages in Europe, it was a common belief that the soul of the first person to be buried in a new graveyard would belong to the devil. If youre planning a trip to Washington state anytime soon, you might want to head to Olympic National Park and take
the Spruce Railroad Trail up to Lake Crescent, a 600-foot deep mountain lake. It has a rather spooky history, with Bigfoot sightings and numerous accounts of ghosts and inexplicable sounds in the nearby woods. The native Kallam Indians refused to fish in the lake for fear of stirring up the evil spirits that resided there. Lake Crescent also is the setting for the Lady of the Lake. It seems that in 1940, two local fishermen (not afraid of evil spirits, it seems) found a body there. It turned out to be the remains of one Hallie Illingworth, a waitress
who had disappeared in 1937. Her husband had murdered her, weighted her body down and disposed of it in the depths of the lake. But it was those very depths -- or, more accurately, the cold water in those depths -that preserved the body almost perfectly and made identification possible three years after her death. Those who study such things say that 40 percent of all modern Chinese people are descended from just three men (dubbed s up e r- g r a n d f at h e r s ) during the Neolithic period. *** Thought for the Day: In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is. Thats what makes America what it is. -Gertrude Stein (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Still stinging from a loss to rival Cuero last week, the Gonzales Apaches are preparing for a more positive outcome when they host Smithville this Friday in their regular season finale. Cuero was able to come up with a 28-20 win despite being outgained, having fewer first downs and possessing the ball far less than Gonzales. It was a tough loss, said Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock. We couldnt stop them when we needed to. We went up and down the field on offense, but
couldnt get it in the end zone enough. Its always disappointing to lose a game of that magnitude, but weve just got to rebound and get after it this week. The good news is the outcome of last weeks game didnt cost the Apaches a spot in the playoffs. Even if they were to lose to winless Smithville, Gonzales will be squaring off next week against either El Campo or Sealy in the bi-district round. Were happy to be in but we still want to win Friday because every game is important, Lock said. Next week is really important. Its been a trying season
Smithville at Gonzales
Friday, 7:30 p.m. Apache Stadium

for the Tigers (0-9, 0-4), who were outscored 21356 during their non-district games with Lampasas, Liberty Hill, Sealy, Marble Falls and Rockdale. Smithville has fared a little better in district play, despite failing to garner more than 19 points in any league game. If the despair generated from their fruitless football campaign hasnt been enough, the entire Smithville community is recovering from a double tragedy. Last Friday, a student died after shooting himself
two days prior in a school restroom. His death came one day after Tracy Ward, a teacher at Smithville Junior High, drowned in flooding waters in Caldwell County while on his way to work. Theyre probably the best 0-fer team in the state, said Lock. Theyve lost a lot of close games and have been in every contest except for two. They always play us off their feet. You have to keep your head on a swivel and your feet chopping when you play them because theyre dangerous. On offense, the Tigers like to operate mostly out of a one-back set, but will occasionally jump into some bunch, spread and
double twin sets. Theyll throw it around a little bit, Lock said. They havent run the ball real effectively this year so theyve been throwing it more. The most explosive weapon in the Smithville arsenal has been Khalil McCathern, who started the year at quarterback before getting hurt in Week 4. He ran for a season-high 176 yards against Lampasas and can score in a variety of ways. The 6-4, 215-pound senior is even more proficient on defense, where he has recovered six fumbles in the last five games including two he returned for APACHES, Page C2

When it comes to the Sacred Heart-St. Paul game, you can throw out all of the predictions, records and other statistics. And get ready for a hardhitting, physical game. We could be 0-10, St. Paul could be 10-0 but we are going to play them hard, Indians head coach Pat Henke said. We must win this game to have any shot of the playoffs, but it is a battle for pride. Our kids are excited to be playing in a game like this at the end of the season, St. Paul head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. These are games you love to play in. With both teams offenses leaning on their respective run games, it is always a physical battle. We need to stop St. Pauls great running game, Henke said. In the last couple of weeks, we have given up some points, Wachsmuth said. We need to make
better open-field tackles. We need to force Sacred Heart to do other things on offense instead of what they normally like to do. The Indians will look to running back Jonathan Vanek to carry most of the offensive yards as he has done all season. We are going to be physical and run the ball like we always do, Henke said. The Cardinals have improved on their offense recently. We have been getting more consistent and have more confidence, Wachsmuth said. We just need to not turn the ball over. St. Paul will be hoping to get another big game out of running back T.J. Bell as part of their offensive work day. Flatonia at Thrall Having clinched second place in District 13-1ADI, the Flatonia Bulldogs will treat their final regularseason game against Thrall as an opportunity to get the players refocused following a bye week. Flatonia head coach
Chris Freytag said the timing of the bye was helpful. We were beat up before the bye and now we are healthy, he said. The Bulldogs can also get the feel of what the playoff atmosphere will be like as they will be facing Thrall on the road. The Tiger offense has been very multiple this year, running out of the wishbone, double slot, Wing-T and the spread formation. Running back Alex Kyne should spearhead the ground attack, and his efforts will be complimented by quarterback Joel Salazar and wide receiver Aaron Salazar. Freytag said he expects the Tigers to air out the football most of the time. They are going to stick with the passing game to try to exploit our secondary. We have played well in that area except for the Thorndale game, he said. We have to make sure we tackle well. Thralls defense started PREVIEWS, Page C2

PREVIEWS: Shiner tunes up for playoffs against Yorktown

Continued from page C1
the season in the 3-4 and has switched to the split look. Defensive back Gabriel Gomez will lead the Thrall defense. Our offensive line must come off the ball quickly and we need to win the turnover battle, Freytag said. Shiner at Yorktown The Comanches are grateful they get one more chance to step on the field and improve before the playoffs. Shiner closes out the regular season Friday at Yorktown. We are glad to have a shot to get things going in a positive direction after our loss to Ganado and before the playoffs, Shiner head coach Steven Cerny said.
Yorktown has not won a lot of games this year but looking at them on film, it appears they play hard. The Wildcats are multiple on offense, setting up in a pro sets, spread and power I. They have a good quarterback in Jacob Garcia, Cerny said. Garcia will be helped by running backs Logan Romans, Caleb Schendel and Brandon Smith. Big plays were the thorn in the side for Shiner in the Ganado game and the Comanche defense must prevent Yorktown from having any big plays. Yorktown runs the split of defense and will be led by linebacker Trevor Reed. Our offense needs to hang onto the football,
Cerny said. Yoakum at Giddings For the Yoakum Bulldogs, their playoffs start Friday as they travel to Giddings to close out the regular season. Yoakum head coach Brent Kornegay said the winner of the game will win fourth place and a spot in the postseason. The Buffaloes run a spread system with oneback and two-back sets. Quarterback Kyle Jones has completed 54-of-134 passes for 759 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, and has run for 191 yards with one touchdown. Justin Herzog has 72 carries for 441 yards and three touchdowns while Josh Mack has 245 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Deon Blue has 23 catches for 259 yards and two touchdowns, and Raylon Hickey has two touchdowns on 11 receptions for 174 yards. We have to stop the run and play the pass, Korne-
gay said. It is also vital we contain the quarterback. Giddings defense lines up in the split and end De Acosta-Everett is the leading tackler this season with 62 total tackles. We have to move the football, get a good game from the offensive linemen and have our backs run hard, Kornegay said. Cuero at La Grange The playoff-bound Cuero Gobblers take on firstplace La Grange in the regular-season finale. Success for the Gobblers starts up front on both sides of the ball. We are focused on getting a win against La Grange, Cuero head coach Travis Reeve said. La Grange is multiple on offense, using the oneback, I-formation and offset I formations. Quarterback Dillon Davis has completed 50-of-78 passes for 982 yards and 12 touchdowns. Wes Scott has 19 catches for 394 yards and 10
touchdowns to lead the La Grange receivers. Running back Rodney Filmore has carried the bulk of the La Grange ground attack with 959 yards and 12 touchdowns. Our defensive line will have to hold its own against La Grange, Reeve said. We will need to contain their skilled players, be it a run play or a pass play, and play solid team defense. La Granges defense goes with a 50 formation, and the main players are defensive back Bralon Hutchinson and lineman Alex Glaiser. Poth at Nixon-Smiley Nixon-Smiley will have a good test in Poth before starting another test in the playoffs. Poth is very efficient and does not make mistakes, Mustangs head coach Carlton McKinney said. The Pirates line up in the spread with a run-pass ratio of 70-30. Quarterback Thomas Krawietz is their best play-
er on offense, he said. Krawietz has rushed for 1,303 yards, averages a little over 10 yards a carry and has scored 17 touchdowns. Running back Koby Pruski had 495 yards rushing and eight touchdowns in his ledger. Technique and execution will be crucial for our defense, McKinney said. Poth is not as physically dominant as they have been in the past but they play mistake-free football. The Pirates line up in the split defense, with the leaders of that unit being ends Marcos Guevara and Brett Kotara. We have to execute our assignments and stay on our blocks to control the tempo of the game, McKinney said. Hempstead at Hallettsville The District 14-2ADI championship will be decided Friday at Brahmas Memorial Stadium when Hempstead pays a visit to PREVIEWS, Page C5
APACHES: Despite lack of victories, Smithville still a dangerous opponent

touchdowns. McCathern is drawing interest from several Division I schools like Baylor and Oklahoma, and has received offers from SMU, Texas State and Texas Tech. Hes as good as it gets at free safety, said Lock. Hes special. He just makes tackle after tackle after tackle. The strength of the Smithville team is their defense, where they oper-
ate out of a 3-4 formation. Their best players include McCathern, DL Brandon Easley, DE Riley Helmcamp, and SS Cade Courtamanche. They do a pretty good on defense, Lock said. They have three big interior linemen who just keep coming forward. I dont think they read much of anything, they just come at you and cause havoc. They play physical and they play hard, but they just keep
coming up short. In addition to gaining momentum for the postseason, Gonzales will also be looking to send their graduating players out in style because Friday is Senior Night. The Apaches have nearly a dozen seniors on their roster highlighted by four-year starters Damien Airhart, J.T. Miller and Zach Perez-Clack. Others are three-year lettermen Jordan Johnson, D.J. Gon-

Hopkins, Gobblers get past Gonzales, 28-20

CUERO The Cuero Gobblers are always more aggressive than usual when they play rivals Gonzales. And with a win getting them into the playoffs, it was motivation for the Green to play even harder. Running back DAnthony Hopkins ran for two touchdowns on 142 yards rushing and threw a touchdown pass to his sibling, Zech, while quarterback Jared Vernor tossed one touchdown pass of his own to lead Cuero to a 28-20 win over the Apaches Friday night at Gobbler Stadium. It was a typical CueroGonzales game. A 48-minute battle, Cuero head coach Travis Reeve said. I thought both teams played well and played really hard. We feel fortunate to win the football game. We were going to play aggressive tonight. The Gobblers (6-2 3-1) had a pair of early turnovers, one which resulted directly in Gonzales first touchdown. Our kids battled back from the turnovers and gave ourselves a chance to win, Reeve said. Our offensive line did well because Gonzales is really good up front on offense and defense. We rose to the occasion on our line play.
Our defense played hard as Gonzales can run the football with the best of them. They made their fair share of plays. We just kept battling. The Apaches (6-3, 2-2) went three and out on the games first drive but got lucky on defense as Hopkins coughed up the football on just Cueros second offensive play of the game. Gonzales linebacker Jaime Tellez scooped up the ball at the Cuero 36 and took it in for the lead, 7-0, after the point after. The Gobblers appeared to have better luck the second time around as Tres Miles went wide on the jet sweep to convert a third and one at the Cuero 32 and Vernor hit Zech Hopkins with a 33-yard pass to the Gonzales 29. A penalty pushed Cuero to outside the Gonzales 34 and a few plays later, Vernor was picked off by Apache defensive back Brant Philippus at the 1. Quarterback/running back Alyas Ramirez had gains of 2 and 15 to move the Tribe out of the shadow of their own end zone. Sharing some of the load with Tellez, Ramirez moved the Apaches all the way to the Cuero 10 where they faced fourth and five. Darrance James was dropped for a loss on a reverse and Cuero took over. They got a
13-yard run by DAnthony Hopkins but nothing more and punted. Punts were traded as both defenses refused the opposing side any progress. Eventually, the Apaches faced second down and 13 at their 34, and a pass by Ramirez was picked off by Gallagher and returned to the 26. The Gobblers drove for the touchdown in seven plays, with DAnthony Hopkins taking all of the work, capping the march with a 2-yard score with 3:44 to go until halftime. Gonzales went from its 36 to the Cuero 31 as Ramirez lined up as a power-I tailback, and took pitches and handoffs from Philippus at quarterback. Later, Cueros DMond LaFond intercepted a Ramirez pass to end the first half. The Gobblers opened the third quarter with a six-play, 60-yard drive for a 14-7 lead. Vernor had an 11-yard pass to Pearson Reese on third down at Cueros 40 to keep the drive going and on third down at the Apache 44, DAnthony Hopkins took a direct snap and launched a pass for brother Zech as the younger Hopkins took the catch and sprinted into the end zone. Ramirez then guided Gonzales on a nearly five-

(Photo by Mark Lube) minute drive, going 78 yards in 10 plays and finishing things himself with a 9-yard run to help knot the game at 14-14. Three straight possessions of punting followed and then Gonzales had another long drive in which Ramirez, Tellez and James combined to take the Tribe to the Cuero 35. On a fourth-and-1 play, Ramirez was dropped for a loss. It took Cuero three plays and a little over a minute to score as Vernor hit Gallagher for the semi-bomb and the 21-14 Gobbler lead with 6:02 left in the game. Gonzales made ground in a hurry as a drive that started at its 30 went to the Cuero 20 on one play as Ramirez found James for a nice 50-yard gain. Ramirez capped the drive with a short, 2-yard run and Gonzales missed the gametying extra point with 3:46 left. Cuero then drove 75 yards in two minutes to seal the contest as DAnthony Hopkins took the ball, sliced through the middle for a 43-yard score with 1:38 left.

PREVIEWS: Brahmas looking to stay unbeaten

Ethan Zissa, Shiner

Hallettsville. The Bobcats are a spread offense and rely heavily on the play of quarterback Will Smith. He has completed 48-of-124 passes for 1,180 yards, 11 touchdowns and six interceptions. He is also the leading rusher with 1,353 yards on 115 carries and 19 touchdowns. Hempstead has an offense that looks like ours. They throw the football less and rely more on the quarterback. They run a lot of quarterback read plays,
similar to what Gonzales does, Hallettsville head coach Tommy Psencik said. We have to stop Will Smith. He leads the district in rushing and total offense. Hempstead will make some plays and we have to make sure we tackle well. The Bobcats are a 4-3 on defense with a man running free in the secondary. Psencik said Hempstead loves to stunt off the edge. Our offense needs to take advantage of their defense stunting, he said.

Crews anticipate the inspections may take about a week to conduct. The lake level will be raised to its normal operating level at that time pending the results of the inspection. GBRA staff advises anyone using the lake for recreation purposes during this time to exercise caution, because lower lake levels may expose debris and other potential hazards that are normally underwater. In addition, recent rain events produced higher flows that may have contributed to an increase of debris in the hydro lakes. Repair operations also may be adjusted or canceled in the event of adverse weather conditions. Notices may be disseminated as press releases to local media and lake associations as well as posted on the press release and lake management pages of GBRAs website: www.gbra. org. Information also may be posted on Twitter with @GBRATX and Facebook on the page GBRA of Texas.

Game Warden Field Notes

The following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports. A Costly Dove Hunt A Webb County game warden on patrol heard shots coming from a ranch. After locating the hunter, the warden noticed a line of cracked corn and milo around a tank where four individuals were dove hunting. After checking the first two hunters, the warden made his way to the last two hunters who had left the spot where they were hunting. These two hunters told the warden they had their limit and were through hunting. After inspecting further, the warden found an additional 15 doves hidden in the brush. All hunters were cited for hunting for hunting dove over bait, and two individuals were cited for hunting over the daily bag limit. A total of 73 doves were seized from the hunters. The following week, the hunters paid a total of $1,590 in fines to the court. Fishing for Trouble Two Willacy County game wardens were patrolling in the Port Mansfield area and inspected a local fishing tournament. Wardens found that approximately 25 percent of the fish guides in this tournament did not possess their all-water fish guide license. After further investigation, and with the assistance of two Cameron County wardens, they found that most of the fish guides also did not possess their current Coast Guard license and requirements. Fish guides were cited for no fish guide license. The wardens continued to follow up on license status on guides still guiding in the Port Mansfield area and found violations still occurring. Citations were again issued and turned over to USCG. Barking up the Wrong Tree A Briscoe County game warden was contacted by a local landowner concerning people trespassing on his property. A few minutes later, the landowner called again and said the subjects were speeding away in their vehicle. The rancher followed the vehicle long enough to tell the warden which direction they were headed. Luckily for the warden, the subjects were headed down the highway toward his position. After stopping the vehicle, the warden found five individuals from New Mexico with large knives and a truck bed full of dogs. The rancher arrived soon after the stop, and once the sheriff s department got there, the warden gained the facts from the landowner. The five were hunting hogs with dogs on the landowners property without permission. Cases pending. Shedding Light on the Situation While on patrol, a Henderson County game warden noticed a spotlight beam on a county road. The warden saw a pickup truck drive slowly down the county road with a subject standing in the bed shining the light into the adjacent fields. The driver stopped the truck, jumped out and hopped a fence to get a better aim. The warden contacted the two hunters, who were from Alaska, and explained the laws regarding hunting from public roads in Texas. Cases pending.
