was when my employee noticed an orange tip on the barrel of the gun so he suspected it wasnt real, Dave said. According to the employees account to Dave, the man then walked around the counter and continued to demand money. He said Do you want to die? and my clerk said to him Im not going to give you any money, said Dave. So the guy got angry and told my employee that he would be coming back before he literally ran outside. It was apparent from his body language that he was scared. The suspect left the store without any cash or other property and the clerk then called the police department. While thankful for the loyalty showed to him by his employee, Dave said he ROBBER, Page A7

Sleepy Smiley starting to see BEAT rapid growth

Authorities are searching for a suspect accused of committing the armed robbery of a Gonzales convenience store with what may have been a fake weapon. On Tuesday, October 22 at approximately 7:30 a.m., the Gonzales Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Shamrock Store on the corner of Waco and Seydler Street. Upon arrival, patrol officer Rhegan Davis made contact with the victim who told him an unknown male subject entered the store and displayed a handgun. The business owner, Vijay Dave, told The Cannon that his employee was alone in the store during the incident.

Prescription Discount card could make your personal information available to marketers

Residents around the area are receiving this mailing from the U.S. Prescription Discount Card on official-looking stationery. The card is NOT affiliated with the government, and the address of the company leads to a vacant alley in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Dave Mundy)

Residents around the Gonzales area this week have received a mailing offering a prescription discount card which appears to be an official government form and offers discounts of up to 50 percent on any FDA-approved drugs but as with all free offers, buyer beware. The mailing offers cards from a company called the United States Prescription Discount Card, but these cards are not from the government. Each card has a member identification number on it when it arrives in the mail, but does not have the name of the person receiving the card. The company advertises a home office on Connecti-

cut Avenue, Washington DC. What United States Prescription Discount Card is, however, is one of several drug-discount cards offered by a company called Script Relief LLC, based in New York City and its a company which has generated numerous complaints around the country for deceptiveness and the possible sale of individuals personal information to outside agencies. While the discounts advertised are real, they are not usually as much as advertised. More importantly, your personal information may be utilized to put you on even more mailing lists when you use the card.

Gordon Lane Tolbert, 1941-2013 Gordon Lane Tolbert went to be with the Lord October 22, 2013 after a long illness. He played a good hand with the cards he was dealt. He was born March 12, 1941 and after a difficult childhood and nursing his dying father at the age of 16, he went on to serve in the US Coast Guard as a Gunners Mate during the Vietnam era. He advanced to E-5 in only four years, became a real estate appraiser with only an 8th grade education, and co-founded the familys title research business 28 years ago which has extended to three generations. He was a committed and faithful husband and father through 51 years of marriage and taught his children and grandchildren the value of commitment, hard work and using the gifts God gave them. Nobody was a stranger to him and he had a clever sense of humor. He loved being outdoors fixing or building things, tending to the land and the farm they used to have, but fishing was his favorite. He taught many a grandbaby how to catch a fish at Palmetto State Park in Ottine and at the coast in Rockport. He knew God and believed that his family was his mission field. His angels surrounded him in his last days, and he passed peacefully in his sleep after a long illness (before it got too cold-he did not like winter!) to go fishing in the big lake above where we will see him again (1 Thes 4:13-18). Gordon is survived by his widow, Barbara Joan Sawicki Tolbert of Gonzales; his son, Gordon G. Tolbert and his wife, Sharon; grandsons, Dustin and his wife, Sally, and Preston Tolbert; daughter, Elizabeth Anderson; grandchildren, Jonathan Anderson and his wife, Nicole; and greatgrandchildren, Logan, Jeremy, Matthew, Jensen, Hayley and Jadyn Anderson; daughter, Suzanne Jennyfer Sakiewicz and her husband, Ed, and grandsons, Eddie, Brenton and Alek Sakiewicz; his sister, Joy Kreusel, and many nieces, nephews and cousins, all of San Antonio. Gordon was the youngest of six and is predeceased by his parents, Raymond and Elizabeth Tolbert of San Antonio, brothers, Raymond, Leland and Billy, and sister, Dorothy Wade. Burial took place on Monday, October 28, 2013, at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio with full military honors.

been very active with the Boy Scouts of America for many years. Jim owned and operated Dekle Motors, a Chevrolet, Buick and GMC dealership in Luling from 1971 to 2000. He had a passion for older model cars and enjoyed refurbishing them to their original condition. Jim was a story teller and he relished his time spent at deer camp, not so much the hunting of deer, but the fellowship and good times shared in camp. He loved to fish and for years he and his family frequented the coast for fishing and crabbing. He was a tireless worker, he could work all day and still have the energy to look for other projects that needed completing.

He was a gentle loving husband, a strict but generous father and loving grandfather. He and Joan never missed a sporting event of one of their children; they were both so very supportive of their children. His children always came first and they wanted for nothing, it was just his way. Jim cherished his relationship with his grandchildren, as their Papaw they found in him and Joan a consistency of unconditional love. He shared his knowledge, and passion of old cars and their restoration. He shared his knowledge of living an abundant life and the skills it takes to succeed in life.

Their first raid was a milk run with no resistance, as they dropped incendiary bombs on target without being fired upon. Duck soup, right? The second mission against a ball bearing plant was drastically different. Unfortunately the lead bombardier, controlling the formation, missed a calculation forcing a return over the target. The flackenhelffers (anti-aircraft) below now opened up and Bill watched in horror as a burst of flack engulfed their wingman (bomber) that created such a concussion that it lifted another B-17 into a collision with a third. Three planes went down, but the rest of the formation returned safely. This tragedy occurred somewhat due to the strategy of the very tight defensive formation that was designed to help reduce losses. During their third and final mission before Germany surrendered, they flew over the Alps to Prague, and once again drew heavy ground fire but sustained no further loss.

Admittedly, there are some mixed feelings, even among those of us who are working for our own nation, about leaving our 49 sister states to fend for themselves. But let us make no mistake: the residents of our sister states dont like Texas, or Texans. Theyd be deliriously happy if we did leave. They like the idea a lot a whole lot, in fact. A survey by Business Insider magazine, for example, polled folks on which state had the best food, the best scenery, was the best vacation spot, had the hottest girls and which state those surveyed hated the most. Texas was a hands-down winner, easily besting runners-up California and New York. Texas also won the voting hands-down for Which state would you like to see kicked out of America? by an even bigger margin. Of course, theres the I Hate Texas Facebook page, dedicated to Texas. The land of the oil drillers, steers, and the people who have intercourse with steers.

Were the most hated state, but at least were Texans

Cost of illegal immigrants double-dipping taxpayers

Early this past week, Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst asked President Barack Obama to reimburse the states counties for the cost of housing undocumented immigrants in local jails. As the House and Senate still are grappling with the disastrous roll-out of ObamaCare, attention began to turn to immigration reform which liberals now want to push. While many liberals are demanding justice for the illegals in the U.S., the cost of incarceration and detention to local counties is also being assessed. For example, according to records from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards: Immigration Retainer Report, taxpayers in Cameron County on the Mexico border paid an average of $272,451 a month to house and feed about 255 illegal aliens for 5,845 inmate days per month. In Laredo, Webb County spent more than $1.1 million over two years to house about 1,900 undocumented im-

Nothing good has ever came from Texas, they wish to be their own independent country full of redneck retards and oil tycoons. The major news media love to roll out stories about Texas rejecting progressivism, because they know their target audience non-Texans will love them. Read just about any news story dealing with Texas. Youll get wonderful commentary such as the following on Wonkette: Lets see how Texas does without all that sweet, sweet federal revenue from us net tax contributors in blue country. Actually, Texas is only a taker state as a result of under-funded and totally unfunded federal mandates, such as being forced to educate the children of illegal aliens. I think we could fix a lot of roads and schools with the $300 billion we send to Washington every

year. They really need to look at their numbers again. An economy funded entirely on beef jerky and truck nutz cannot sustain itself. It comes as a surprise to a lot of Blue Staters to find that by itself, the Texas economy is the WORLDS 14th largest were bigger than Italy and Russia now and its more than oil. Were global leaders in high-tech, agriculture, aviation and aerospace, even green energy production. Yeah Id love to see Texas kick about four states out of the Union -- and of course the other states would gladly follow Texas, whose greatest military achievement was when they all got whupped by Santa Ana that one time and none of their boys were left alive. Which they still celebrate to this day, curiously... Apparently not everyone got the word about 18 minutes at San Jacinto, in which the posters hero got whupped decisively by an army of farmers. Just secede already. Take Florida and Alabama with you. ... Texas is something that terrifies any rational person, because there is too much religion there and not enough IQ points. Thanks for your support of Texas independence, madam.

Mind you, Im leaving out a lot of commentary from our liberal friends whose education level is so far above that of Texans, they need to use a lot of those multisyllable words considered impolite to use in a family newspaper. If youd like to see some of that commentary, let me direct you to http://www.nymiddlefingertx. com/. One recurring theme to all the hatred being spewed at Texans is a perception among Blue Staters that anyone who wants an independent nation of Texas is just a racist bigot who never got over losing the Civil War and doesnt like having a black President. Funny, but I dont remember us calling them racist for not supporting Alan Keyes in 2000 and 2004; I block-walked for the man. But this perception is repeated again and again, which I would imagine is a bit perplexing to folks like my friend Patrick Hagger of Fort Worth, who is African-American and a die-hard Nationalist. Or Claver ImatsuImau, who both runs the activist radio network RagingElephants. org and is also the political director of the Texas Nationalist Movement. Or perhaps to State Rep. James

White, a black conservative elected by those redneck white hick bigots of East Texas, who introduced a resolution in the last legislative session which spelled out in no uncertain terms what the Texas Legislature has the right to do if Congress didnt stop violating the Constitution. Alas, the bill was killed in committee by one of the Republicans-in-NameOnly we hillbillies are dedicated to replacing next election. The Texas-haters also seem rather confused about the status of Hispanics (I prefer Tejanos) in the secessionist ranks. I guess theyve never chatted with folks like Ricardo Rodriguez or George Contreras, the TNMs membership development director. Whether the hatred of Texas is simple jealousy or Bill Ayresinspired political bullying, theres one fact which is indisputable. Every time the HuffPost or MSNBC or Kansas City Star or Washington Post or New York Times runs a piece attacking Texas and Texans, generating hundreds of Blue Stater replies which can be disturbingly hateful more Texans of every stripe join the independence movement. We may have our differences, but were proud of being Texans.

migrants with federal detainers in the county jail. The hardest hit counties have been Harris County (Houston), which spent nearly $50 million; Travis County (Austin), which spent $22 million; and Dallas County (Dallas), which has spent $15 million. Dewhurst stated in his letter to Obama that since 2011, Texas county jails have spent about $15.6 million to house 131,000 undocumented immigrants. In Houdini-like logic, Democrats claim that much of that cost is recovered by the county tax payers through federal grants. The federal government has reimbursed the CameronCounty $207,910 through grant awards. However, Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio said he believes the county is owed at least another $100,000, if not more, for holding the inmates. Outside of stronger border enforcement, the cost of housing illegal aliens must be addressed in combination with Americas foreign policy. The vast majority of nations that send us illegal aliens also receive U.S. foreign aid. In essence, these nations are doubledipping. American taxpayers support their nation AND their citizens who are illegally in the U.S. As I have recommended before, America should charge foreign countries for their citizens who are illegally in the U.S. and detained at the expense of the taxpayer. For example, foreign aid to Mexico or El Salvador or Honduras, should be reduced by the amount of costs to house their citizens who are detained for entering our country illegally. The sad reality is that most federal elected officials will not have the courage to defend the American taxpayer over the interests of liberal human rights groups who lobby on behalf of illegal aliens. But taxpayer relief is a must to stop the double-dipping by foreign countries that benefit from sending their poor to America as illegal aliens, and also receive foreign aid.

The defunding debacle

The Republican push to defund Obamacare defied the strategic wisdom of the ages. Avoid what is strong, Sun Tzu advised, to strike what is weak. According to Machiavelli, Prudence consists in knowing how to recognize the nature of the different dangers and in accepting the least bad as good. In contravention of all these axioms, the defunders stormed the barricades at their strongest point. They exhibited no willingness to distinguish among bad options or appreciation for what was really achievable. At best, their approach was a high-risk, low-reward strategy. As it turns out, there wasnt even any reward. The shutdown fight has been interesting in its particulars but dull in its overall trajectory, which was so predictable that the news stories on the endgame almost could have been filed in advance. Even bomb-throwers hesitated to light this fuse. Sen. Rand Paul never thought the shutdown was a good strategy. When the allegedly wholly impractical libertarian doubts your tactical judgment, it should be taken as a warning. Sen. Ted Cruz, the very able point man for the defunders, kept the strategy afloat longer than most people would have expected, but he could never explain persuasively the path from a shutdown to a signing ceremony in the White House defunding the presidents signature piece of legislation. A key part of the theory was that, in the heat of a shutdown, red-state Democrats would buckle and join the anti-Obamacare bandwagon. Given the near-certainty that Republicans would be blamed for the shutdown, this was always fanciful. Republicans did the best they could during the shutdown. They passed rifleshot bills out of the House funding specific functions of government that put Democrats in a tight spot. They highlighted the idiotic excesses of the National Park Service. They hit Democrats for their unwillingness to negotiate. But

all of this amounted to damage control. In the end, although polls showed the gap relatively narrow, more people blamed Republicans than Democrats. As the anti-government party that was forcing the issue, the Republicans were always going to have trouble escaping blame. Gallup and Wall Street Journal/ NBC polls showed the partys favorability scraping bottom. On top of all this, the party went into the fight divided, with the House Republicans most enthusiastic about the strategy foisting it on their leadership. They proved again that, in the right circumstances, they can control the House Republican Conference, which gives them control of ... the House Republican Conference. An initial plan promoted by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor simply to force a vote on defunding in the Senate and then move to a clean continuing resolution was blasted by defunders as empty symbolism. After a few weeks of political pain, Republicans ended up in the same place: The House voted on a defunding provision that was quickly pushed aside by the Senate, and it was forced to accept an essentially clean continuing resolution. Now, the same defunders who argued that Obamacare would be unrepealable beginning Oct. 1 with the opening of the exchanges are vowing to fight on against the health-care law -- as they should. It will be a long fight, requiring not just passion and principle but also a little strategic wisdom. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. (c) 2013 by King Features Synd., Inc.

The ghosts of my childhood finding their way down the road

Jim Cunningham

Did I ever mention that my late brother-in-law was an Army supply sergeant and a thief? He was. And sir, was it ever to my advantage. Let me digress. It was 19 and 52 and though I was only an eight-year-old recruit I served my country in the Korean War. I did. Thanks to the gear I was outfitted in by Leo Kelsey, who was a staff sergeant at the time. On furlough in the early 50s he presented me with a helmet liner, webbing belt w/canteen and cover, survival knife, trenching shovel and a pup tent. With that regalia, my neighbor, Jimmy Borden, and I went off to war. Armed with garden clods as grenades and B-B guns, we made quite a dashing fighting duo. Taking Pork Chop Hill, Old Baldy, Triangle Hill, White Horse Mountain (Hill 395), and yes, Bunker Hill where more than 1,000 casualties required non-stop surgeries. In 1952, the Korean War was not yet known as The Forgotten War. And the 19 and 50s is a decade I recall at random times. Not forgotten. When I will examine snippets of my childhood. Merely pieces of a distant life experienced in an earlier era. When many important decisions were made by going: eeny-meeny-miney-moe. Back when I was young and there was a little of Huck Finn and Opie Taylor in all of us. Those of the girlie venue were apt to be tomboys. We were open to adventure. Perhaps a trip out to the city dump. Riding a bike no-hands. With the britches leg rolled up to the knee. Barefoot over busted bottles and treasures of life thrown away. Armed with Daisy Red Ryder B-B rifles wed fire volleys at Garrett snuff bottles as thick as Mr. Magoos eyeglasses. Wed set out on exotic journeys on a whim. Perhaps hiking the railroad track five miles to camp out under a trestle or taking a morning dip in Pond Creek. Where the citys sewage was released into five miles upstream. A refreshing start to whatever would lie in wait throughout another adolescent day. As 10- and 12-year-olds we homesteaded a vacant lot. Making a vacant lot not vacant. Where four or five neighboring Bob Fellers and Gil Hodges, armed with gloves and a bat and ball, would play games of shag til dark. The boys of summer, year-round.

As we played our ball games there were no adults around to settle disputes. Which was good. Angry soccer moms and little league dads were destined for a future generation. Yes, we were bullied and we bullied. Back. Possibly shared a pack of candy cigarettes the next day as a peace offering. Worn out from an afternoon of Kick the Can, wed lie on our backs in the grass and opine: That cloud looks like your sisters behind. We were proud cardholders of the D Brown Library variety. Where books offered us walkways to other worlds faraway. And more adventures. Through the works of wondrous words. Listening to The Lone Ranger on a Philco radio and later waiting five minutes for the Crosley TV to warm up prior to watching the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports bout of the week come Friday night. That was entertainment. And a Saturday matinee at the Gem Theater. Front row kids riding along with Hoot Gibson, Wild Bill Elliott, and of course, Rex, Roy and Gene. Getting a bellyache from Grapette sody waters, all day suckers, and popcorn. Craw fishing after a summer rain with bits of bacon and twine. Do children do that kind of stuff any more? Golden moments. When simplicity was sufficient in satisfying the soul. A blissful time when home cooked meals and sit down dinners and buttermilk biscuits from scratch were the norm. And parents transmitted moral values and made sure their children were respectful and God-fearing. They didnt spare the rod and encouraged the educators to embrace corporal punishment. Neighbors were neighbors and not backstabbers and there wasnt a purebred dog in the neighbor-

hood. Our formative years through junior and senior high school almost seemed choreographed. We put a lot of truck in our cars and a drag race seldom went unchallenged. We parked those cars at the passion pit (drive-in theater). Where we played backseat bingo. Or wed say to our date: Hey, Babe, lets head out to Thrill Hill for a little backseat bingo. And the AM radio would drain the battery while playing such ditties as Big Joe Turners Shake, Rattle and Roll where the gal better get out of that bed and tend to those pots and pans. Or Huey Piano Smith & The Clowns, Rockin Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu. This brings to mind that the Salk vaccine spared my generation from polio. In high school we graduated from $2.49 PF Flyers to penny loafers and from basic burr haircuts to flattops and ducktails held in place with gobs of grease. While in the hallways we walked the walk and talked the talk our superintendent, principal and teachers expected us to. Our weekend entertainment was spent at Tom Sefcik Hall in Seaton, or Star Hall in Zabcikville or Westphalia Parish Hall. Where we dug the sounds of Butch and The Casuals or Jimmy Heap and The Melody Masters. We referred to the Saturday and Sunday night dances as Bohemian Stomps. A night without a fight was the exception. And yes, Ill admit, at 69 years old Im sure the statute of limitation has expired, that underage drinking was our collective vice. All-in-all, Im glad Im a product of that time. Though I was not fond of high school or any type of institutional education. But in our little Texas Mayberry we were

drug-free, took pride in our appearance, respected our elders and teachers (who dressed professionally on paupers pay). We were a race of innocents. But the 50s slipped on by and presented us with the volatile 19 and 60s. A turbulent decade. Filled with political and civic assassinations, continued space race, STDs and drugs and protests. And Vietnam. On college campuses Joe College gave way to hippy chic. Counter-culture freak-outs and free love. But nothing is ever free. As I recall the yesterdays of long ago when my neighbor and I battled Koreans in our minds. You see, children can kill imaginary enemies as readily as adults can kill real enemies. I consider what followed us in the ensuing years. Jimmy Borden went on to fight a private war. After going off to barber college and landing a job down in Corpus Christi he was enjoying a good life. Got his first car ever. A fine-looking 57 Chevy Bel-Air. At 20 years old on an outing at a lake he took a dive. It took a tragic turn. He hit the water at an odd angle and he became paralyzed from the waist down. My ownself was summoned off to a very public and unpopular war. I survived it. Jimmy Borden died while in his 40s and God only knows what his thoughts were for over two decades. And now, in the late winter of my life, I sometimes go a whole day when I feel like the ghost of a child trying to find its way down the road. What you end up remembering isnt always the same as what you have witnessed. Julian Barnes The Sense of an Ending

Brune: Awhile back we interviewed the president of the Texas Outdoor Writers Association who founded the Kids Outdoor Zone Youth Ministries. Today, were visiting with the co-founder of a similar organization, Fathers in the Field, based in Lander, Wyoming. Both organizations are fast becoming nationwide and broach the reality of mentoring fatherless children. It is also an interesting point to note that both of these groups are based from churches. Scott, whats your story? MacNaughton: Im the cofounder of Fathers in the Field and pastor of the Covenant Presbyterian Church. We founded this program seven years ago and its rapidly expanding. Fatherlessness is a problem in every city and town across the country. Its a problem that the Christian community recognizes and realizes we must address. Brune: How do you find the children? MacNaughton: Fathers in the Field is an outreach program particularly designed to search out fatherless boys. We help them gain an appreciation for Gods great outdoors. We pair them with mentor fathers that are passionate about the outdoors and we use that passion to draw in boys and appeal to their adventurous spirit. Fatherlessness is a crisis of national proportion. We go through schools, youth groups, family counseling, and the various departments of family services. Often we find boys that have the wounds of being fatherless and are starting to become rebellious and may be getting into a little trouble. So through teachers, through coaches, through youth workers, and counselors, the boys in single parent families are identified. We have great relationships with local schools and these organizations and theyre now starting to contact us. The ministry is having a great impact in communities across the country. Brune: Is there a particular age group? MacNaughton: We target boys from seven to 17. Brune: How did this start? MacNaughton: This began with John Smithbaker. He was a fatherless boy and saw the

need for this organization. He came to me wanting to start a ministry for fatherless boys using the outdoors as a classroom. We put an ad in the newspaper saying, Dear Single Mom, would you like help in mentoring your son in the outdoors and Christian faith? That ad came out in the paper on a Wednesday afternoon and by 4:30 p.m. we had our first response, and soon we had 12 responses in our small town. So this isnt just an inner city program. Its for small towns and suburbia wherever there is a need. Brune: What was the next step: MacNaughton: John and I were the first mentors. Then we had six men in our church who signed on as mentors. We began developing a curriculum, called the journey guide that helps the mentors. It helps them have confidence in what theyre doing. They dont have to do anything different from what theyre already doing except to take a boy along. We ask them for a commitment of three years to the particular boys. So, our group began small with six mentors. Now we have hundreds of mentors across the country. Brune: So, this is one-onone. Do you do group activities? MacNaughton: We can. We sometimes get together at the shooting range or a fishing hole. We also get together for widows projects or helping needy families. We do group activities, but the point is that each boy knows he has one mentor-father on which he can rely. Brune: Is there a cut-off? Do you ever have troubled boys that you cant help? MacNaughton: Obviously, fatherlessness has a huge impact on kids. Often their lives are chaotic and there is a lot of moving from one house to the next within that demographic. Sometimes the boys move away, or you may have

boys that are already involved in anti-social behavior or adjudication in court. And those can be the challenges we face. We try to help boys and have good methods. It doesnt always work, but we view it as a blessing to spend as much time as possible trying to help. Brune: There are two definite behavioral traits in todays society. Youre promoting the ideal that people should be responsible, accountable, and project individualism. What happens when you run up against the single mom that knows how to play the social system, otherwise known as the welfare mom? MacNaughton: We require a strong commitment from the boy, mom and the mentor father. We make a contract and they must live up to their commitment. That often eliminates bad situations. And the boy and Mom know that we likewise are committing a lot of time and resources. Often, the mom is run ragged trying to be the father, mom, and provider. We try to build in the positive aspects to help that single mom family so they want to be in the program. So yes, signing on to big expectations in the beginning on the part of everyone involved eradicates any half-hearted or disingenuous efforts. Brune: How much does this program teach Christianity? At some point dont you have to stop preaching and let a boy come to you if hes going to come? MacNaughton: Absolutely! We tell them up front the organization is sponsored by the local church. Then we ask that the boy come to church with his mentor-father at least twice a month. That allows the boy to see the community aspect of the church. It also gives the boy a social network that single-mom homes are often lacking. But yes, we cant force Christianity. We provide a model and show them Christian values and responses to lifes circumstances. But its their choice. Brune: Its all about putting boys in a positive situation and giving them the opportunity to enjoy being a productive member of the community. MacNaughton: Thanks for getting the word out. And if anyone is interested, visit our website and lets reverse the cycle of fatherlessness in our country.

secutive missions, they received a three day pass to London. It was early May of 45, Hitler was dead, and all scheduled missions were scrubbed by the 8th Air Force. Due to Germanys surrender, the War Department decided the European wars military would receive 30 day furloughs in the US, then redeploy for invasion of Japan. That invasion, of course, never happened. However by June of 46, staff sergeant Bill was released from active service, then signed up in the reserves. That same year he would marry Ruby, and together they would raise three children. It was time to relish civil-

ian married life, and Bills first job was a quick stint with Royal Crown Cola. This was quickly followed by applying to be a state trooper. Sure enough, they needed good men he trained in Austin and received a commission. As a DPS officer he began testing the public for licenses. During that stretch, Bill was nearly gunned down when he walked in on a bank being robbed in Nixon. One of three shots fired at Bill nearly grazed him, but he survived. The perpetrator was later killed in a Houston hold-up attempt. Time passed, and by 81 he felt the urge to run for justice of peace, an elected position, where he served for 21 years. It was 2002, and Bills heart was misbehavingrequiring a triple

bypass operation, but hes been doing fine ever since. He and Ruby live on some rural acreage, and they also have other ranch land where Bill works out occasionally. They are also very active in church affairs. Bills advice for the current generation harks back to his DPS days and obeying the law. He recommends a more focused effort in constant driving awareness, using turning signals consistently, and defensive driving in general. Bill is also still openly grateful to the good Lord for His watch care over him during those bombing missions over Germany, and that certain deliverance he received from fatal gunshot wounds on the day of that close call in a Nixon bank.

Early voting ends Friday in Gonzales and surrounding counties in the statewide constitutional amendment and local school bond elections. Nine constitutional amendments are being considered statewide by voters. Voters in the Gonzales ISD are considering two schoolhouse bond propositions totaling nearly $25 million, while voters in Yoakum ISD are considering a $50 million bond issue as well. Tuesday, Nov. 5 will be Election Day for voting in person at precincts around Gonzales County. Those precincts include: Precincts 1, 14 and 15: Gonzales County Courthouse, 414 St. Joseph, Gonzales; Precincts 2 and 11: Gonzales American Legion Hall, 1612 Robertson St., Gonzales; Precincts 3, 5, 7 and 8: Gonzales City Hall, 820 St. Joseph St., Gonzales; Precincts 4, 6, 10 and 13: Nixon Annex, 603 E. Central, Nixon; Precinct 9: Waelder Community Center, 311 Hwy. 90, Waelder; Precinct 12: JB Wells Jr Multi Purpose Facility Show Barn,

2301 CR 197, Gonzales. This is the first election in which Texas voters will be required to show one of the mandated forms of photo identification. Displaying a voter registration card wont be sufficient; prospective voters will be turned away if they dont have an ID with a photo. Acceptable forms of identification include: Texas drivers license issued by the Department of Public Safety; Texas election identification certificate issued by DPS; Texas personal identification card issued by DPS; Texas concealed handgun license issued by DPS; U.S. military identification card containing the persons photograph; U.S. citizenship certificate containing the persons photograph; U.S. passport. With the exception of the U.S. citizenship certificate, the identification must be current or have expired no more than 60 days before presentation at the polling place. The photo ID requirement is for voters casting a ballot in person, not by mail. Voters age 65 and older may vote by mail, and the photo ID requirement does not apply to them.

right? A: Were supposed to be right on top of it. Q: What is the city doing to prepare for what that means? A: Were trying to get ahead of our infrastructure issues, especially getting our water system ready to handle the growth. Right now its hard to figure out what that growth is going to be, but we need to have the basics in place before we can address it. Housing is another big issue. Wed also love to have a convenience store, a restaurant or two and just more services in general. Q: You said there hasnt been anything specific in terms of growth projection, is that something youre going to work out with some outside entity? A: Yes, definitely. Gonzales is at seven or eight thousand now and theyre looking at being around 20,000 in the next three or four years. If that projection is correct since were south of them where the activity is expected to be heavier, then well probably be looking at going from 500 to about 2,000 people in that same span. Q: If the city does get that large, then arent you going to also have to expand

things beyond infrastructure like for instance, adding a police department? A: Were working on that right now. Weve got a judge who has been on board for about six months now. Were easing into it slowly, but we need an officer. Q: As it stands right now, the sales tax revenue for Smiley almost non-existent because of the lack of businesses. What are some of the plans you have to attract new businesses? A: Were pretty much at the point to where were willing to give tax abatements and maybe refund some of the sales tax. It will be on an individual basis. The City has a little bit of land for sale and were trying to figure out what the interest is on the outside, so we can maybe work out a longterm lease deal with someone. Were also willing to offer utilities at a reduced rate along with hookups and stuff like that. Q: Is there anything else you want to add in relation to the expected economic development for Smiley? A: I think its coming. Weve had a lot of people inquire about bringing stores and motels to this area. The growth is coming, it just hasnt gotten here yet. A year ago the rigs were 10 to 12 miles away and now theres five or six within a mile of town, so its coming.

what he did, but he has to remember in his mind to keep his safety because its not worth taking a chance with your life. Gonzales Police Chief Tim Crow said the matter is still being evaluated.

purporting to go to a Steven Harrell, Benefits Coordinator at the Washington address, was no longer in service Wednesday morning after several attempts by The Cannon to seek media information on the company. The address used on the mailing pointsto an alley between the Avalon Theater and a flower shop on Connecticut Ave in Washington D.C. Gonzales is not the only population being victimized by this and similar schemes around the nation in the wake of the launch of the so-called Affordable Car Act. The Better Business Bureau of Nashville, Tenn., reports on its website that The top inquiry to BBB this week is from Middle TN consumers who have received unsolicited prescription drug cards in the mail - from a company called United States Prescription Discounts, Washington, D.C. BBB has confirmed that the card is NOT a scam and it has nothing to do with the government, or the Affordable Care Act. Instead, its a marketing tool by a company that gets paid directly from major pharmaceutical companies each time a card is used. However, BBB did confirm one misrepresentation: Local pharmacies say that the stated 50% discounts are much less than advertised, what most consumers will see is more like a 5% to 10% savings on a drugs retail cash price. The New York City BBB reports 24 complaints have been filed just in that city against Script Relief and its many subsidiaries, which like the U.S. Prescription Discount Card feature official-looking stationery and addresses but no actual office space. The schemes have been running for months. David Lazarus, reporting in the Los An-

geles Times on July 25 about an affiliate called the National Prescription Savings Network , asks what the card is and how does it do what it does? Answering those questions, I discovered, raised a host of new questions that should give any consumer pause before using these cards, Lazarus wrote. First of all, good luck getting these guys on the phone. When I called the number for National Prescription Savings Network given on the letter and the different number on the companys website. Lazarus tracked down Script Relief, where he received comments from a man identified as Ed McCabe. McCabe told Lazarus the company contracts with pharmaceutical companies to offer the discounts thus, the discounts are real, if usually less than advertised. ScriptRelief makes its money by receiving a few dollars from drugstores for every transaction involving its cards, McCabe said. Pharmacies apparently are betting that theyll still come out ahead by getting new customers through the door, Lazarus reported Lazarus reported, however, that ScriptRelief is co-owned by a marketing company an agency which usually sells information to retailers and others. The Times writer said McCabe said Script Relief doesnt sell or share card users personal information. Thats absolutely not how we make money, he said. The ScriptRelief privacy policy, however, tells a different story, Lazarus wrote. It says that we may share your information with other companies whose products and services may be of interest to you. ScriptReliefs privacy policy clearly gives the company and, by extension, Loeb Enterprises the ability to profit from peoples personal information, Lazarus concluded.

By CAROL SHEA
Special to The Cannon

On Sunday, Sept. 1, the 64th Annual Thompsonville Homecoming was held at the Thompsonville Community Center with over 150 individuals in attendance. Prior to the event, many attended the Homecoming church service next door at the Thompsonville Community Church. This years Homecoming was dedicated to the following individuals who had passed since the last Homecoming and were interred in the Thompsonville Cemetery: Ida Nell Baker, James Louis Jimmy DuBose, Mary Gayle Kelso, and Jimmie C. Young. Bruce Schreiner, President of the Thompsonville Cemetery Association, emceed the event. Attendees were encouraged to visit the cemetery which had greened up due to the recent rain, complemented with the recent mowing and edging done by Darryl Aubin, owner of Gator Lawn Services. Organizations and other individuals were thanked for their contributions. County Commissioner Donnie Brozozowski had the right of way mowed to the cemetery, and GVEC provided the raffle drum for the drawing. Spraying for pests was done by Sherry Hill, owner of Annie Oakleys Pest Control. Danny Janecka, owner of J Bar B Foods, donated 10 lbs. of sausage. After everyone had enjoyed the abundant food brought by attendees, special recognition gift cards were awarded: oldest woman--Johnny Wiley Seitz of Ottine, 100; oldest man--Hugh Carmichael Susan Landers, Auctioneer, And LaVerne Davis, Asof Waelder, 93; young- sistant

est child--Zoey Bustillos Carmichael, 2, daughter of Brianna Carmichael of San Antonio; longest married couple--James & Linda Owens of Lockhart, 55 years; most recently married couple--Jim & Loretta Kelso of Gonzales, almost 2 years. As this was the first time an attendee had been recognized for being 100 years old, plus 6 months, Johnny Wiley Seitz was additionally presented with a box of chocolates, a card signed by TCA board members, and a gift bag from a donor who wished to remain anonymous. The live auction was conducted by Susan Landers, TCA board member. A few of the items auctioned were: two wooden bowls crafted by Preston DuBose; a baby quilt made by Dorothy Carlisle and donated by Hollis & Hazel Bean; a jewelry box embroidered and painted by Bonnie Bates Herrmann of Lubbock; a cow skull painted with a Texas flag motif by Susan Landers, a cowboy prayer throw donated by

Betty Schroeder and LaVerne Davis, a leather belt donated by Susan Byrne of Austin, and two gift baskets donated by Howard & Vivian Coleman of Houston. A record-breaking bid of $150 by Kenneth Davis made him the proud owner of a German-made, Puma stag handle, pocket knife, donated by Samuel Brown of New Braunfels from his personal collection. A raffle drawing was also held for numerous prizes, including a baby quilt donated by Dorothy Kincaid. Available for purchase were Thompsonville cookbooks, history books, cemetery books, and fresh ground cornmeal. Weathering the 100+ temperature, attendees came with generous hearts and open wallets, breaking the record for the amount of money collected during any previous Homecoming event. The Thompsonville Cemetery Association President expressed appreciation and gratitude for their continued support, wishing all safe travel as they headed homeward.

Church, October 19th. As guests arrived they were served sweet rolls, fruits and coffee. Tables in the hall were laid in the brilliant colors of fall and each held a centerpiece of fall dcor. Dist. 6 President Phyllis Noonan presided as the business meeting began with officer reports and later the local Club Presidents each reported on their club activities.

Gonzales luncheon hosts presented a buffet meal of chicken salad croissant sandwiches, cheeses and fruits tray, cream cheese frosted carrot cake, iced tea and coffee.

Back in the business meeting, Festival Director Mary Thomason of the Etude Club reported on needed changes with recording the students entering the festival, their performance scores, their Gold Cup awards record, all of which is entered in records by computer. Virginia Kneisner of the Austin Club conducted a memorial service honoring several deceased members of the 4 music clubs. Dist. Pres. Noonan then introduced TFMC State President Gloria Thrasher who spoke reporting first about the newsletter, Musical Messenger which will now be longer in content, in color and totally on line for the Texas Federation mem-

bers, urging club members to communicate with Editor Jean Moffatt giving her local news items to include. The Texas Federation will soon be 100 years old and plans have begun for the celebration. There are tentative plans for fund raising for the time of the celebration which will be in 2015. Pres. Thrasher reported about the five state S.W. Central Region activities and announced the TFMC Convention will be March 20-22, 2014 at the Emerald Beach Hotel in Corpus Christi, Texas. After Credentials and Courtesy reports, the meeting adjourned in early afternoon, with speaking the NFMC Collect.

San Antonio man faces charges

LA GRANGE Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek reports that while drug smugglers keep trying new ways to move their illegal product, law enforcement is keeping up with the trend. Korenek reported Friday that Deputy Randy Thumann and his canine partner Lobos conducted a seizure of 159 pounds of marijuana in the support arm of a trailer being pulled by a San Antonio man. Thumann and Lobos were on patrol on I-10 near Flatonia and stopped a Ford flatbed pickup pulling a dovetail trailer for a traffic violation. The sub-

On this day in 1869, Colbert Caldwell was removed from his position on the Texas Supreme Court, a victim of the political infighting that characterized the Reconstruction period in Texas. The commander of the Military District of Texas took the action in response to complaints by Radical Republicans that Caldwell, though a member of the party, was unsympathetic to freedmens aspirations and the goals of congressional Reconstruction. Caldwell, born in Tennessee in 1822, moved to Texas in 1859, and Gen. Phil Sheridan appointed him to the Supreme Court in 1867. Caldwells outspoken Republican partisanship earned him a reputation among Democrats as a rabble-rouser; he was the subject of death threats in the Stockade Case, and successfully campaigned for a seat at the Constitutional Convention of 1868-69 despite an assassination attempt in Marshall.

Thankful for rain, but some other

Everyone remember that this is the weekend that we set our clocks back one hour and get back in tune with Mother Nature. Personally, I think that man has already messed up enough things and they are not really changing anything anyway. Mr. Rooster outside my doorstep said that he didnt remember a thing about a time change and that he has been crowing at daybreak for years. I dont know whether it is this cold front that is coming in here tomorrow or what to blame it on, but my bones hurt, my skin hurts, and my toes that are not there hurts. And now dear fellow readers since I have gotten all this fussing and complaining out of the way, I will see if I can write a smidgen of news!!! 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. We could not watch TV, publish a paper, mail a letter, shoot a gun, drive or buy a car, build a house, etc. without the freedoms he fought for. Wake up people!!!! Do not let your freedoms be taken from you. Your Vet fought for them, now it is up to the citizen to keep them and not let them be voted away. 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 Kot-

Amanda Crozier, Jess Fullilove wed in garden services

Amanda Kathryn Crozier and Jess Daniel Fullilove were married on October 12, 2013 at 6:00 P.M. at Texas Old Town in Kyle, Texas. Amanda is the daughter of Tammy and Dan Crozier and granddaughter of the late Frances and Sam Hindman and Katherine and Milvern Crozier. Jess is the son of Lu and David Fullilove and grandson of Gladys and Noel Lindemann and the late Mozelle and Jack Fullilove. Upon arrival, guests signed a large painting of a heart created by friend Michelle Underwood. The ceremony was held under a gazebo in the beautifully landscaped garden near an arched-bridge covered stream. Floating candles and peach and ivory peonies were displayed in copper birdbaths flanked by rustic iron candelabras. Lining the stone path were shepherds crooks holding jars filled with peach and ivory peonies and greenery. Guests were seated in white chairs on the lawn. The couples mothers entered to Forever Young by Audra Mae and the Forest Rangers. The brides mother was escorted by stepson Don Crozier. She wore a lavender-gray shawl-collared jacket dress by Komarov detailed with sheer insets at the beaded V-neckline and asymmetrical pleated hem. The grooms mother, escorted by sons Jess and Seth Fullilove, wore a floor-length mocha sequin lace gown designed by Kay Unger. Matron of Honor Renee Husk, the brides sister, and bridesmaids Jill Fullilove, the grooms sister, friends Michelle Underwood, Brittany Avant, Emily Connor and Ariana Ince entered to The Way I Am by Ingrid Michelson. They wore formal chiffon gowns they individually selected in colors of gray, coral and blush. Their bouquets consisted of ivory and light pink roses. Flower girls Aubrey Lindemann and Lilah Coke, cousins of the groom, looked adorable in ecru empire-style gowns with flower embellishments at the waist. They carried baskets decorated with burlap ribbon as they scattered rose petals along the path. The bride, escorted by her father, entered to Your Song by Elton John. She looked stunning in a Jim Hejlm fitted, strapless, tiered ivory lace gown with a sweetheart neckline and trumpet hemline and adorned with an ecru crystal-embellished sash. Amanda carried a bouquet of soft ivory and pale peach roses, the stems being wrapped with satin ribbon and beads. In lieu of a veil, Amanda wore several crystal hair pins. Groomsmen included best man David Fullilove, father of the groom; Seth Fullilove, brother of the groom; Tel Lindemann, cousin of the groom; and Eric Connor, friend. Jess looked handsome in a white shirt, black tie, gray sharkskin slacks and vest, while the groomsmen wore gray slacks with black vests. Dillon Crozier, nephew of the bride, carried a family Bible wrapped with satin and burlap ribbon while Grayson Crozier, another nephew, carried a burlap pillow. They sported gray slacks, white shirts, black ties and suspenders. Reverend Paul Smith of Monthalia United Methodist Church performed the doublering ceremony. Amanda and Jess chose scriptures that were meaningful to themRuth 1:16-17 and Ecclesiastes 4:912. After they exchanged their vows and Reverend Smith recited an Irish blessing, the newly-married couple strolled down the path to Queens Youre My Best Friend as guests showered them with fresh rose petals. The reception was held inside the beautifully decorated Sage Hall. White lights and tulle were draped from the rustic ceiling beams. Round tables were swathed with white tablecloths and burlap runners. Decorations consisted of crocheted doilies, bird cages, old books, candles, wire lamps, coffee cups and peach and ivory flower arrangements. The wedding party was introduced as they made their entrance into the hall to Polaroid by Band of Heathens. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal of barbequed brisket, sausage, pork ribs, prime rib, seasoned potatoes, green beans and salad catered by John Fullilove of Smittys Barbeque in Lockhart. The brides dessert table consisted of an ivory lace layer cake topped with fresh pink roses, white lilies and a lettered sign that said best day ever and cake pops decorated like lace miniature wedding dresses and tuxedoes. The grooms cake was a square Italian cream layer cake decorated with the Gonzales EMS emblem. After speeches from the matron of honor and best man, Amanda and Jess enjoyed their first dance as husband and wife to Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughn. Amanda and her dad chose Stealing Cinderella by Chuck Wicks and Jess and his mom danced to the Eagles I Wish You Peace. Guests then enjoyed a variety of music for several hours. As a special treat, Jess and Seth Fullilove, Derrick Schaefer and Eric Connor, former members of The Pale Horses Texas Country band, performed several songs. At the end of the evening, Amanda and Jess left in a limousine for a two-day mini moon in New Braunfels and Gruene. They will enjoy a Colorado ski trip in December. They have a home in Cost, Texas.

Saturn Friendship Club News

While dessert was being enjoyed, the president introduced Lt. Terry Courrier of the Muldoon Volunteer Fire Department, who gave a very interesting and informative talk. He stated that the organization was formed in 2001. A second station was built in 2009 in Cistern. These stations serve a 139-square mile area surrounding the communities of Cistern, West Point, and Muldoon. His program included many helpful and valuable suggestions for actions that should and should not be taken at the time of a fire and rules of safety to be followed at all times. Lt. Currier was thanked for coming to present the program. When the business meeting began, the Pledge to the Flag of the United States of America was recited. The club prayer was read in unison and the motto To make the best better was stated. Nancy Littlefield brought a devotional written by Elizabeth Sherrill that was taken from Guideposts for Grandmothers. It was based on the scripture, My eyes are ever toward the Lord, Psalm 25:15 (RSV) It was a Saturday afternoon in the music-loving city of Salzburg, Austria. Family groups out shopping had paused to listen to a violinist playing in the square in front of the cathedral. I watched the father hand a shilling to a little boy of perhaps four, then point to the violin case opened at the performers feet. The youngster stepped shyly forward, dropped the coin into the case, then darted back to the circle of onlookers, searching his fathers face. Did I do it right? Did I do what you wanted? The little boy didnt look at the musician to see how his donation was received. He didnt glance around at the audience to see who else had noticed. The childs eyes were only for his father, seeking approval of a task accomplished. What a model, I thought, for any act! The Father has given me a contribution to make. What others do with it, whether the rest of the world applauds, is not my concern...only that I do what He tells me with what He has placed in my hands. Today Father keep my eyes fixed on You. Nancy concluded her devotional with a meaningful prayer and asked God for mercy and healing for members not present due to illness and for others needing Gods healing touch. Roll call was answered with members telling what costume they would chose to wear to a Halloween party. Answers ranged from dressing as Dolly Parton to dressing as a Fallen Angel. Other responses were a Jack O Lantern, a duck, a clown, a witch, a ghost, a vampire and Little Miss Muffet. The minutes of the September meeting were read and approved. The treasurers report was accepted. Sue told of her enjoyable Teapot Ladies meeting with Betty Britsch. Plans for the November Thanksgiving dinner at an area restaurant on November 18 were finalized. After a lively discussion, it was decided that the clubs Christmas project would be a donation to the Flatonia Food Bank. A set amount will be given from the Saturn Friendship Club in combination with the amount received in a free will offering to be taken at the Thanksgiving meal. The Christmas Party will be held in the home of Nancy Littlefield in Shiner on December 9 with Betty Britsch as cohostess. October Birthday Ladies, Eva Boscamp and Mary Kelly, were honored with the birthday song and each received a gift from their Secret Pal. The meeting was adjourned. Two guessing games were played. Winners Sandy Parr and Vivian Benton were awarded jars of Trick-or-Treat candy. The hostesses gave each member a colorful bag with a special treat as a parting gift. It had been an enjoyable afternoon shared with good friends. The program by the Muldoon Volunteer Fire Department had been educational. Members headed home with thoughts of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas whirling in their heads anxious to get a head start. So much to do in so little time.

had a great time. Correna Walker was missing because she wasnt feeling well but she has moved to a gated retirement community in Bedford. She likes it there and several of us have her address and email /phone number. I am sure she would like to hear from you. While we are at it, we need to wish Pat Heinemeyer a big Happy Birthday. The Lindemanns were having a reunion at the Monthalia United Methodist Church Parish Hall last Sunday. Seems like while we were getting little spats of rain, Luling and Lockhart was getting a deluge when Ina Gay Orum came through. LA did not make it to church but he was planning on coming to the reunion for a little bit. He sure needs to take it easy and not get over tired. I know that many of you will miss Gloria Knandels smiling face and her jolly laughter at the Dairy Queen. In her obituary they called it her office. I guess a lot of dates of commitment and problems were solved in that eatery. Many a problem has been solved while sitting at the kitchen table and you can sit up a kitchen table just about anywhere. We send sympathy to James and all of the rest of her family. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Now I dont know whether this is going to be on Americas Funniest Videos or not, but my husband came home from church wide awake. I am sorry Pastor Paul. It wasnt from your preaching. It was because he was having an inner tickle of laughter listening to the youngest member of your congrega-

tion hiccupping. The young Holmes baby stole the show by hiccupping most of the service. These little babies can work miracles for Jesus. Talking about babies and laughter brings up the subject of Halloween. Maybe some people think of evil when it comes to Halloween, but I think that you do not need to be mean and can a really make a fun night out of it with your costumes and laughter. Children look so cute in their costumes and their makeup. It is a time of the year when adults can act silly and crazy with their children. It is a time when you can visit with your friends and neighbors, and maybe grandma and grandpa. So wherever you go on Halloween, be safe. Pepe is going to scare us all to death one of these days. I saw that he was fixing to jump from this little chest of drawers in the living room, through the doorway, and up with a twist on to the top of the wooden door of the bedroom. He sat there on the top of that little chest positioning his legs over and over and all of a sudden he jumped. I be dat gum if he didnt land on top of that door in this bedroom that is one inch thick at the top. He was having a lot of trouble balancing on that door. Samson is watching him too. He wants to turn around but he cant get his balance. He finally makes it. Then he looks down and comes straight down the door. I didnt realize it but I was kind of like holding my breath all this time. We will see what this cat does next week. Have a good week. God Bless.

Special to The Cannon

On the bright sunny afternoon of October 21, members of the Saturn Friendship Club journeyed to the Old Schoolhouse in Cistern for their monthly meeting. Due to the recent rains, the trip through the rural area showed the contrast of Fall leaves on oak trees and bright green grass along the roadsides and in the pastures. Maybe putting out feed for the cattle will come later than usual this year. Upon reaching the meeting place Sue Kalinec and Mary Kelly, hostesses for the afternoon, greeted arriving members and Jo Brunners guest, Barbara Nugent. The meeting table was decorated in Fall colors with a touch of Halloween, treats were little bags of orange slice candy and pencils. The hostesses were busy filling the serving table with a smorgasbord of foods smelling very inviting. At one oclock President and co-hostess, Sue Kalinec, invited everyone to the serving table and asked Nancy Littlefield to offer a word of prayer. Everyone was eager to try all the different food choices. There was Cheesy Chicken Soup with warm corn tortillas and butter, a platter of sliced sausage and cheese, fresh green salad with a choice of dressings, Lasagna, green peas with mushrooms, deviled eggs, spider web dip with chips (this was an avocado dip with cream cheese arranged to look like a spider web), White Almond Florentine cookies and Dirt Cake, with R.I.P. headstones were the desserts. A choice of drinks was offered. When the plates were fulled to overflowing, a time of companionship and visiting began. Jo Brunner introduced her guest, Barbara Nugent who is from San Diego, California. She has a vacation cottage in the High Hill area. Door prizes were won by Eva Boscamp and Sharon Benton.

After slowing the fastpaced Yoakum offense to a near crawl last week, the Gonzales Apaches are hoping to get another stellar performance from its defense. Gonzales limited Bulldog quarterback TreVontae Hights, who had rushed for 915 yards coming into the game, to just 68 yards and forced three turnovers. I thought our defense played very well, said Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock. We had a good game plan and the kids executed it. Any time you hold somebody like Hights to 68 yards on 21 carries thats a pretty good night. Up next is annual showdown against hated Cuero. The Gobblers (5-2)

rebounded from a loss to Yoakum by beating Smithville 28-12 last week, led by running back DAnthony Hopkins 154 rushing yards and two touchdowns. The junior has 995 yards and 14 ground scores on the season. Theyre a talented bunch, Lock said. They have a running back who is as good as anybody in the district. Hes a big back that weighs about 215 pounds. Hes a downhill, hard runner who will get a lot of touches. Cueros offense revolves around the running game but quarterback Jared Vernor has been efficient, completing 57 of his 82 passes for 688 yards and seven touchdowns. When their quarterback has thrown the ball, hes been very accurate, said

Gonzales at Cuero

Friday, 7:30 p.m. Gobbler Stadium

Lock. He hasnt thrown a lot of long balls, but hes very good in the short game. One of the focal points of the Gobbler offseason was the development of their offensive line, where they lost all of their starters to graduation. Theyve gotten better each game, Lock said. They may not be as good as what Cuero has had in the past, but their skill people make up for whatever theyre lacking in the offensive line. Theyve rushed for a lot of yards this year, so theyre doing something right. The Gobblers will run plays from a variety formation including an offset I, pro set, twins with two backs and ace with direct snaps to the running back. By keeping opposing de-

fenses off balance, Cuero has averaged 26.4 points per game. The Gobblers have been susceptible to the run on defense, where they have allowed an average of 170 yards per game. Their most active players on that side of the ball include Hopkins little brother Zech at inside linebacker, and defensive backs Hunter Fales and Grant Diebel. Of course its always an event when Gonzales and Cuero square off, but this weeks game has more at stake than just bragging rights. Both teams are among the three who are 2-1 in district and the winner will secure a spot in the postseason. Its always big when we play Cuero just because of the community expectations, said Lock. Its a

long-standing rivalry that goes way, way back and a lot of people have been involved in it. Its a fun rivalry, but its also an intense rivalry. The Apaches are a little banged up heading into the game and will be without the services of senior running back D.J. Gonzales, who will miss the rest of the year due to a broken leg. He is scheduled to have surgery on Friday. D.J.s absence will mean increased carries for Jaime Tellez and Alyas Ramirez, who will rotate at running back with Darrance James and freshman Aaron Hunt. We can swing them around because we have some talent, said Lock. Losing D.J. is a big loss, but thats football. You have to just line up and play with whoever is healthy.

Gonzales boys, Yoakum girls 2nd at district

The Yoakum Bulldogs welcome the first-place team of District 26-3A, La Grange Leopards, on Friday. The Leopards are at the top with a 3-0 record while Yoakum, Cuero and Gonzales all carry a record of 2-1 into Fridays action. Head coach Brent Kornegay said the game will be important for Yoakum. La Grange has a lot of different formations including one-back, I-formation and offset I. Quarterback Dillon Davis has thrown for 831 yards and 14 touchdowns on 44of-70 passing. His main target has been Wes Scott (16335, eight touchdowns). Running back Rodney Filmore leads the Leps on the ground with 927 yards and 11 touchdowns. Our defense needs to make sure we are line up correctly because La Grange likes to outnumber you, Kornegay said. We have to get to the football fast. Our defense has been playing pretty well the last several games. La Grange comes out with a 50 look on the defensive side of the ball. Key defensive players are defensive back Bralon Hutchinson and lineman Alex Glaiser. Our offense must protect the football and score points when we get in the red zone, Kornegay said. Jourdanton at Luling The Luling Eagles have the chance to improve their standings in the district as they host the Jourdanton Indians at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Eagle Field. The winner will likely take second place in the

district behind Marion, who play Goliad Friday and Jourdanton next week. The Indians are rundominated team with over 2,000 rushing yards with their pro-style system. Edward Ruiz leads the pack with 460 yards on 66 rushes and four touchdowns. Quarterback Chase Harrison has 375 yards and 10 touchdowns, and has thrown for 530 yards, eight scores and three interceptions on 23-of-62 passes. Isaac Oropeza has 188 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Other ball carriers with at least one touchdown this season are Tyler Davis, Diego Huddleston, Joseph Ortiz, Joe Estrada, Dominique Cruz, Alex Aguero and Ian Hons. They have a running back-by-committee and our defense has to make sure we tackle whoever has the ball, Luling head coach Colby Hensley said. Our defensive line has to win the battle up front. Nick Lopez is the leading receiver with 164 yards on seven catches and three touchdowns. The Indians defense likes to come at the opposing teams with a 4-2-5 look. Key players are linebackers Enrique Lugo and Joseph Ortiz, and tackle J.P. Lugo. Our offensive line will have to be physical and win the line of scrimmage, Hensley said. The team that wins the turnover battle usually wins the game. Hallettsville at Edna The Brahmas are on the road for the second straight week as they travel to Edna. Edna has an extremely talented team this year, Hallettsville head coach PREVIEWS, Page C2

GIDDINGS It was a great day at the District 26-3A championships at Camp Tejas near Giddings for local cross-country teams Gonzales, Yoakum and Cuero.

Dalton Couch capped Gonzales with a No. 26 finish in 21:19. These boys ran well and deserved to be regional qualifiers, Gonzales coach Cully Doyle said. The Apaches will be at the regional meet for the second straight year. For Cuero, Ben Villarreal was sixth in 17:54, Chant Parker was No. 16 in 19:49 and Mitchell Green was No. 27 in 23:21.

We have a lot of young girls that are coming back and the expe-

Tommy Psencik said. The Cowboys run a twoback set and will use tightend sets. Main ball carrier is running back Marquis Broussard. Our defense will have to corral and contain him, Psencik said. Wide receiver DeOntae Jones is very versatile for Ednas offense. He is a gifted receiver that lines up as a scatback, Psencik said. He will run reverses and misdirection. Edna lines up in a 4-3 on defense and are led by middle linebacker David Johnkallus, weakside line-

backer Timiron Williams, and ends Darnelius Norman and Guy Dodson. The Cowboys like to run man coverage so our offense will have to run precise routes, he said. We must improve our pass protection for this game. Psencik said the 142ADI title will likely not be decided until the last week of the regular season. Brazos Christian at Sacred Heart The Indians host Bryan Brazos Christian in their last home game of the regular season. Brazos Christian is a very solid football team, Sacred Heart coach Pat

Henke said. They do not make mistakes, are fundamentally sound in everything and are not fancy. They are physical and come right at you. The Eagles are I-formation team that will run the ball nine out of 10 times. The main ball carriers are tailback Kenny Honnas and fullback Jesse Honnas. We feel our defense will matchup with Brazos Christians offense, Henke said. We just have to make sure we are more physical. Brazos Christian runs a split defense and will come at opponents with eightman fronts. Our offensive line must be physical against their defensive line and we must protect the football at all costs, Henke said. Key players on the Eagles defense are safety Justin Duewall and end Cooper Owen. Nixon-Smiley at Natalia The Mustangs, winners of two straight district games, will look to get even

closer to a playoff berth as they head to Natalia. We need to eliminate our mistakes and outwork Natalia, Nixon-Smiley head coach Carlton McKinney said. We are not going to focus on what Natalia does but on what we do. He said Nixon-Smiley will definitely control their own destiny for the playoffs if they are able to win out. Natalias Mustangs run a spread on offense and are balanced as a team they have 766 yards rushing and out in front in the Natalia rushing game is Devon Carroll who has 255 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Eric Villarreal has 230 yards rushing and two touchdowns while throwing for 697 yards on 64-of-162 with six touchdowns and 14 picks. Mario Bermea is the leading receiver with 348 yards on 24 catches and three touchdowns. They are not as multiple as they have been in the past because of personnel.

We have to be ready to defend a spread attack, McKinney said. Natalia runs the 50 formation, a system that is very familiar to the NixonSmiley players. Leading Natalia on defense is Carroll (63 tackles) and Victor Gonzalez (53 tackles). Ganado at Shiner Shiner hosts the Ganado Indians in the final regular season home game for the Comanches. With both teams undefeated in district play, the game is being billed as the fight for the district title. It is going to be your typical Shiner-Ganado game, Shiner head coach Steven Cerny said. It is always a close game and we are evenly matched this year. Ganado is multiple on offense, running doubletights and other power formations, and also spreading out opposing defenses using the shotgun. Expect Ganado to use Clay Vesely, Kenny Kocian,

Kaleb Leal and Benny Garcia to run the football most of the time. They will run behind the blocks of offensive tackle Roman Leal and tight end Thomas Parks. Kameron Smith and Taylor Thedford are two of the Indian receiving weapons. They will force our defense to always be playing assignment football, Cerny said.

St. Paul at St. Gerard St. Paul hits the road this week to play San Antonio St. Gerard. They are a very talented team that has not won a lot this season, Cardinals head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. St. Gerard is a better team that what they have been in the past. For us, we are trying to get a win and I think we can beat them if we take away the play of their skilled positions. St. Gerard has a balanced attack out of the shotgun spread formations. The Royals run game is handled by quarterback Jubias Cloud, who has run for 807 yards and six touchdowns as well as running back DaVontrae Walker (831 yards and two touchdowns). We just have to make sure their backs and receivers do not get loose and get a big play, Wachsmuth said. Defense has to keep the skilled players in front of them.

Yoakum struggles against Apache defense

By CEDRIC IGLEHART

GONZALES In a game that had all the makings of a shootout because both teams featured dynamic quarterbacks, it was the defense that dictated the outcome. The Apaches limited Yoakum to just 139 yards rushing (including a modest 68-yard performance by Bulldog quarterback TreVontae Hights), forced three turnovers and rode a late offensive surge to a 23-11 win Friday night at Apache Stadium. Our defense played outstanding, said Gonzales

head coach Ricky Lock. Hights is a good player, but we pretty much held him in check tonight. He made some plays because hes a phenomenal athlete, but our defense rose to the occasion and played lights out tonight. The victory helped the Apaches gain ground in the District 26-3A standings, where La Grange sits at the top with a 3-0 record. Gonzales moved into a threeway tie for second with Cuero and Yoakum as they are all 2-1 in league play. Its just like I said last week, theres a lot of parity in this district and youve got to be ready to play

every Friday night, said Yoakum head coach Brent Kornegay. The turnovers killed us, but thats a credit to their guys You cant do that and expect to win. Gonzales was clinging to a 16-11 lead with less than two minutes left to play and the ball on their own 22. Alays Ramirez picked up six yards on first down and it was followed by a modest gain by Brant Philippus. Ramirez then went left, broke a tackle at the 30, and raced up the sideline for a 72-yard touchdown to put the game away. I was really just trying to get the first down, said Ramirez, who had a game-

high 133 yards rushing. My line made an opening for me and I got into the end zone. I didnt perform as well as I would have liked, but we got the win. Thats what important. Yoakum (3-4) came into the contest averaging 410 yards on offense and they looked to be on their way to achieving that total on the opening drive. Hights ran for 10 yards on the first play and then found T.J. Hights for a nine-yard gain. Darrance James slips out of a tackle during Gonzales The Bulldogs moved the win over Yoakum last Friday.

SHINER -- On any other night, scoring 50 points in a game would have had the St. Paul Cardinals exiting Comanche Stadum whooping and back-slapping. On this night, however, 50 points was still 25 short of what was needed for victory. I dont think Ive ever seen one like that, St. Paul head coach Jake Wachsmuth said after the Bryan St. Joseph Eagles roared from behind on the strength of six touchdowns from Nicky Damon to defeat the Cardinals, 75-50. Of course, I still like those 17-14 ballgames. Damon scored on runs of 67, 34, 33 and 55 yards, but it was his two secondhalf pick-six returns of 47 and 91 yards which proved the back-breaker for the Cardinals, whod overcome an early 13-0 deficit and at one point held a two-score lead. We were ahead, but thats been our trouble all year, turnovers, Wachsmuth said. Two of them were direct scores, the other setthem up for a score. Thats 21 points right there. Despite his gaudy numbers, however, Damon didnt wind up as the games leading rusher; that honor went to St. Pauls T.J. Bell, who lugged the ball 33 times for 266 yards and three touchdowns of his own, while Cardinal QB Austin Barton threw four touchdown passes. We wanted to mix it up, the run and the pass, and we did pretty good with it, Wachsmuth said. T.J. is a good running back, and Marco (Ynclan) is a good receiver, they know were going to try and get the ball

in their hands. The turnovers and the Cardinals inability to counter the Eagles misdirection running game proved to be the difference, however. Damon and backfield mate Tres Todd led the Eagles (6-1) to more than 400 yards rushing at better than 10 yards per pop: Todd added 14 carries for 153 yards and four scores of his own. Damon served notice on the games first play it would be a big night, bursting through a huge hole in the middle on a simple counter play and footing it 67 yards for the score. Following a St. Paul punt, a 43yard run by Todd helped set up a 5-yard scoring pass from Luke McClure to Ben Rios for a 13-0 Eagle lead. The Cardinals charged back to take the lead, however. After three consecutive runs by Bell got the Cardinals past the midfield stripe, Barton caught the Eagles napping on a playaction pass and laid it into the hands of Colton Machart for a 37-yard score. The St. Paul defense made its lone three-andout stand on the next St. Joseph drive, and Barton unloaded a bomb for Ynclan that the rangy sophomore hauled in for a 65-yard TD strike and a 15-13 lead after a two-point conversion run by Bell. A fumble recovery by Jed Janecek short-fused St. Josephs next drive and the Cardinals again capitalized. A 38-yard Barton-toMachart strike set up an 8-yard TD run by Bell to make it a 22-13 Cardinal lead. The Eagles came right back when Jamarkus Amos 43-yard breakaway reception set up a 3-yard run by Todd to make it 22-19, but

St. Paul answered on its next possession when Barton and Machart hooked up for their third long bomb of the half, this one a 35-yard touchdown strike. St. Joseph came back to grab the lead at intermission, however. Damons 34yard touchdown narrowed the St. Paul lead, then an interception by Todd got the Eagles the ball back on a short field. Five plays later, Todd rumbled 26 yards to score and put St. Joseph back out in front, 33-28. St. Joseph extended its lead early in the third quarter on Damons 47-yard pickoff return, but the Cardinals answered right back witha 68-yard, 8-play drive which ended with a 1-yard plunge by Bell to make it 41-36. The Cardinals had a chance to shift the momentum themselves moments later when Nathan Pilat picked off a McClure pass, but the Eagle defense held and forced a punt. Four plays later, Damon again rode the counter play untouched right up the middle for a 33-yard score. The Eagle defense forced another three-and-out and St. Joseph again capitalized, with Damon this time taking a stretch play 55 yards to the bank for a 55-36 advantage. The teams traded scores, with St. Paul getting a 10yard TD from Bell and the Eagles answering with a 8-yard score from Todd, before Damon provided the coup de grace with just nine seconds left in the game. Trailing 67-50, the Cardinals battled their way to the St. Joseph 5-yard line before Damon swiped a Barton pass on the corner and took it the distance the other direction.

FLATONIA The Flatonia Bulldogs were holding their own in the first half of Fridays game against Thorndale at Bulldog Field. Heck, outplaying them, in the opinion of Flatonia head coach Chris Freytag. Thorndale was clinging to an 8-0 lead at halftime and in the second half, the wheels fell off for Flatonia as Thorndales Bulldogs powered to a 27-0 lead before Flatonia managed their only score with less than five minutes to play in the game, falling 27-7. We outplayed them in the first half but were making mistakes we had not made in a while, Freytag said. Thorndale is a great football team that made us look bad on several plays. Flatonia had several chances to score in the first half but had a touchdown called back on a penalty and a turnover or two. All in all, I thought the first half was pretty even, Freytag said. Second half, the wheels came off. We had an injury to Mitchell Mica and that hurt us. They physically started manhandling us in the second half and we got our heads down a little because we had not been in that situation for six weeks. The Flatonia defense had a great start to the game, forcing two three-and-outs on Thorndales first two drives. However, the offense failed to capitalize as Flatonia missed a fourth-down

conversion on its first drive and came up well short on a 43-yard field goal attempt after a penalty and quarterback sack killed a drive that got all the way to the Thorndale 6. After the missed field goal, it took Thorndale two plays to go 74 yards. On the first play, quarterback Riley Schaefer hit Eric Guzman in the middle of the field for 37 yards to the Flatonia 37 and Schaefer got Colton Austin for the same yardage on the next play for the score. Schaefer ran in for the two points and Thorndale led 8-0 with 2:54 left in the opening quarter. On Flatonias next drive, quarterback Will Bruns had an 11-yard scramble for a first down and later, Thorndale was called for offsides on third down and 2 to give Flatonia the plus40. Thorndale later recovered a fumble to terminate the drive. The visitors were held

to another three and out, and Flatonia made a play on special teams as Marcus Mica blocked a punt, giving Flatonia first down at Thorndales 44. A few plays later, Bruns was picked off by Schaefer. Schaefer had a couple of completions, including a 19-yarder to Rowdy McCoy to the Flatonia 32. But a little later,Eddie Manzano dropped Schaefer in the backfield for a 9-yard loss to the 36 and Thorndale had to punt to the Flatonia 6. Marcus Mica had a couple of decent runs and Bruns had an 18-yard pass to Gus Venegas to move Flatonia across the 50. A flag on Thorndale got the ball down to the 27 but Bruns was intercepted again by Schaefer. The drive ended at the Flatonia 36 as Schaefer was incomplete on second down to end the FLATONIA, Page C4

The four-year starter was the driving force behind a spectacular showing by the Gonzales defense in their 23-11 win over Yoakum last Friday. Miller racked up 19 tackles as the Apaches limited the Bulldogs to 285 yards of total offense, which was 125 yards below their season average.

GONZALES It was Stadium Day for all the Gonzales CYFL teams and the event featured great youth football games all day long with the best one being the overtime thriller between the Apache Junior Black and Apache Junior White, won by the latter 6-0. The first quarter was highlighted by spectacular play from Black quarterback Caleb Camarillo, who had several long runs. The game was still scoreless in the second where the White defense made some big plays including tackles for losses by Breck Eleby, Jaydyn Lookabill and Donovan Iglehart, and a fourth

down, touchdown-saving tackle by Cade Davis at the one-yard line. The Black defense had their share of stops as well, getting interceptions by Weston Walleck and Carlos Verastegui. Gerard Nuezs fumble recovery and Kamron Cooks tackle for loss were standout defensive plays for the White in the third quarter. In the fourth frame, the Blacks Trace Higginbotham and White Lookabill had tackles for losses and Cook covered up another Black fumble with less than two minutes to play. A controversial play came up with 33 seconds left in the fourth when Eleby ripped off a strong run down to the Black 15. Late in the play the ball

came out and Jaylen Miller scooped it up and returned it inside the White 10, but it was nullified because an official had already ruled Eleby down. The Black got the first possession of overtime, but Lookabill forced a fumble on the first play and Cook came up with his third recovery of the night for the White at the Black 15. Davis ran for seven yards and then Lookabill picked up three before Davis darted through a hole off left tackle to score the games only touchdown. With the win, the White improved to 4-4, while the Black dropped to 4-4. The Sophomore Apache Black and Apache White

first half. Thorndale forced another turnover early in the third quarter and made Flatonia pay as Darius Brooks scored from the Flatonia 3 to cap a four-play, 39-yard drive for a 15-0 lead with 8:52 left in the third. The teams traded punts on the next two possessions and Thorndale managed a 50-yard kick to the Flatonia 6. Reed Rightmer caught a 12-yard pass to the 16 on third down but Bruns was sacked twice in a row several plays later and Flatonia had to punt. Thorndale eventually had a third down at Flatonia 25 CYFL, Page C5

but a block-in-the-back call of 15 yards and immediately followed by a deadball foul moved Thorndale across the 50. Schaefer then was flushed out of the pocked and danced downfield with a25-yard rush to Flatonia 29. He hit Eric Guzman for a 23-yarder to convert the fourth down. Brooks scored from the 6 and Thorndale led 21-0. Thorndale later turned another interception into more points as Schaefer hit Jordan Hafley with a 26yard touchdown score. Flatonia then ended the shutout with a 12-play, 65-yard drive Bruns had a 4-yard run on third down and 2 and later a 5-yard run

on fourth down to keep the drive alive. He scored on a 3-yard sneak to bring Flatonia within 27-7 with 4:38 left to play. Freytag said Thorndale exposed some things in Flatonias play that will need to be corrected before Flatonia travels to Thrall on Nov. 8 to close out the regular season. The loss drops Flatonia to 5-2 and 2-1 in district. Freytag said Flatonia is still in a good spot to make the playoffs. Thrall would have to beat us and Thorndale, he said. We have the tiebreaker over Holland and Weimar.

off successive gains of eight, two and 15 yards to get the ball out near midfield. Ramirez got three yards on first down, Jaime Tellez went for three on second and Ramirez ran for three yards to set up a fourth and one. Ramirez tried to sneak ahead for the first down, but he was met at the line by a wave of Bulldogs led by Marvin Davis to force a turnover on downs. TreVontae Hights connected with Caden Fishbeck for 17 yards on the

next play, but a penalty and two incompletions left Yoakum facing third and 15. The Bulldogs tried to run a screen pass for T.J. Hights and the play was read perfectly by J.T. Miller, who dropped him for a twoyard loss to force a punt. The Apaches went three and out with their next possession and a 32-yard punt gave Yoakum the ball at the Gonzales 46. Facing third and four from the 40, TreVontae Hights tried to convert by throwing, but his pass was knocked away by Tellez to bring on fourth down. Yoakum came out in

a punt formation and ran a fake by handing off to T.J. Hights, but he was brought down by Damien Airhart and Jose Contreras after only managing a yard. It was late in the second quarter when Gonzales opened the games scoring. A 35-yard punt return by Ramirez gave the Apaches a first and goal from the Yoakum 7. After backing up five yards because of a false start, Gonzales hit paydirt when James blazed around the left end on a jet sweep. Ramirez got the conversion run to make the score 8-0 with 3:20 left be-

fore halftime. Yoakum began the ensuing possession with back to back penalties and then Austin McCoy caught a pass and ran down to the Gonzales 36, but he lost the handle on the football and it was recovered by Blake Cox. The Bulldogs took over their first possession of the second half on their 42. Three straight runs by TreVontae Hights set up second and three from the Gonzales 36 and Terrance Hall picked up the first with an eight-yard run. Two plays later, TreVontae

Hights found Timmy Blakeney wide open in the middle of the field and Blakeney also got the conversion run to tie the game at 8-8. The next time Yoakum had the ball they started at the Gonzales 35. Hall exploded up the middle for 31 yards and two carries by TreVontae Hights took the ball down to the one. The Bulldogs fumbled on the next play, but managed to recover it at the five. Edgar Maravilla came on to kick a 23-yard field goal to give Yoakum an 11-8 lead at the 3:23 mark in the third.

The first Yoakum drive of the fourth quarter found them pinned deep in their own territory at the four after a nice punt by Ernan Hernandez. Hall dove for two yards on first down and then three straight runs by TreVontae Hights gave them first and 10 at the Yoakum 15. Two plays later, TreVontae Hights was sacked by Jordan Johnson for a five-yard loss. On the next play Yoakum ran a reverse to Blakeney, who launched a pass that was APACHES, Page C5

Cross Country Roundup Lady Cardinals bring home another state title

SHINER It is ironic when a team, playing to not make mistakes and not playing the game, starts making lots of mistakes. The St. Paul Lady Cardinals put themselves under pressure early by playing to not lose instead of playing to win in a 3-0 (25-23, 25-14, 25-12) victory over Houston Southwest Christian Academy Lady Saints Tuesday evening at St. Paul High School in the TAPPS 2A bi-district round. We were stressed out and were putting too much pressure on ourselves, St. Paul head coach Dana Beal said. We have been struggling and not playing too well. The Lady Cardinals (21-

15-1) trailed by as much as nine points early in the first set before coming back to win and played better in the next two sets after settling down. The kids got refocused and got back into the game, Beal said. A combination of errors by the Lady Cardinals and the serving of Shelby Keoshner helped give Southwest Christian Academy (11-13-1) an 8-0 lead in the first game. St. Paul was able to pull back a couple of points and the Lady Saints were able to run their lead up to 13-4. Then SWCA made some errors of their own and the Lady Cardinals took quick advantage, with a kill from Abby Irvin, two aces from Jenna Williams, and a combined block from Irvin and

Kymberlie Malatek to come within 13-10. The Lady Saints then scored three of the next four points but back came St. Paul with kills from Jacy Pawelek, Elise Patek and Melanie Wagner, to go along with serves from Christina Sqyres and Malatek. Later, a pair of kills from Samantha Siegel and ace from Victoria Kusak helped put St. Paul ahead for the first time in the match, 22-20, and went on to win 25-23. The second set opened with St. Paul getting the opening point on a Williams kill and the Lady Cardinals later went ahead 10-5 on service from Williams and Siegel, and a kill from Pawelek. The Lady Cardinals weathered the Lady Saints

coming within 10-7 and then ran off nine of the next 10 points. Pawelek had about two or three kills, with Williams and Patek chipping in one. SWCA fought back to within 22-14 and St. Paul closed out the second set, getting a kill from Jordan Pawelek and Siegel. The Lady Saints remained in relative contention early in the third set until Jacy Pawelek, Patek and Siegel made some plays to put St. Paul ahead 15-8 and later, 22-8. The Lady Saints made a run at the end, slightly outscoring St. Paul 4-3. St. Paul is set to play Conroe Covenant Christian in the TAPPS 2A area round, scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at Sealy High School.

In the first quarter, the White got a fumble recovery by Josh Esparza and a 25-yard kick return from Jordan Lookabill.

Second defendant in game ROUNDUP: Glass, West warden case pleads guilty Texas A&M win LSC title
AUSTIN The son of a former Upshur County commissioner arrested in October 2012 for holding a state game warden at gunpoint has pled guilty to one count of unlawful restraint, a Class A misdemeanor. In 115th Dist. Court, Judge Lauren Parish sentenced 28-year-old Todd A. Crabtree to a one-year jail sentence, probated for two years. In addition, Crabtree was ordered to publicly apologize to the game warden and other law enforcement officers who responded to the scene last year. Crabtree also will have to pay a $250 fine, take an anger management class, pay court costs and other fees as well as perform 100 hours of community service. While on probation he will have to submit to monthly drug tests and will be barred from drinking alcohol. He also will be prohibited from possessing any firearms or ammunition during his probation. The charges to which Crabtree pled guilty stem from an Oct. 6, 2012 incident in which the game warden was disarmed and detained by two armed men while the officer was making a routine check for hunting law violations on private property in Upshur County. The game warden used his cell phone to call for help, and soon numerous local and state officers came to his assistance and ended the situation with no shots fired. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Law Enforcement Division fully supports this plea agreement as well as the previous plea agreement regarding Lloyd Crabtree, said TPWD Law Enforcement Division DiFormer Luling standout Carley Glass helped West Texas A&M win the Lone rector Col.

Game Warden Field Notes

The following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports. Hanging Evidence A Pecos County game warden received a call about two mule deer killed on a local ranch enrolled in the Managed Lands Deer Permit program. Since there are several white-tailed deer hunters on the ranch, a Jeff Davis County game warden met up with the game warden and they inspected the place, including a walk-in cooler, while the hunters were out for an afternoon hunt. Inside the cooler, the wardens found two illegal mule deer does. In all, 15 hunters were checked, three citations were issued and two mule deer does were seized. Smoked Out A game warden patrolling Coleman County came across a van with no lights on pulling a trailer. He stopped the vehicle and could smell a strong odor of marijuana. The warden asked the driver and passengers to get out and was surprised to see seven adult males emerge. When the warden asked the passengers where they were coming from, they said Denver and headed to Austin. When asked if they had been smoking marijuana, they said yes but that it was not illegal in Colorado. After gaining consent to search the vehicle, the warden found a pipe and several baggies of marijuana. Tickets for possession of drug paraphernalia were filed on the violators. Cases pending. Lost and Found A Burleson County game warden received a call from parents who told the operator that their son was missing and has been known to wander into the neighboring 2,000acre ranch. The warden and local first responders searched the area and the boy was located about six hours later in a restaurant four miles from his house. Excuses, Excuses A Houston County game warden went into a camp where a doe had been harvested and quartered. The deer had been tagged properly and the harvest log was filled out. The warden asked the hunter if he had shot it with a crossbow, but the subject said the deer was shot with a regular bow. After observing the bow, the warden noticed a broken, bloody arrow in the quiver. Everything looked okay until the warden examined the meat. There was a broadhead puncture wound and exit wound that the subject kept pointing to. After observing it further, the warden found a small bullet hole in the meat. He asked the hunter if he had any shotguns, rifles or pistols in his truck, and the subject said no. After the man gave permission to search the truck, the warden found a shotgun hidden behind the backseat. He asked the hunter why he didnt tell the truth about the shotgun, and the subject said he thought he had only asked about pistols. The warden asked the hunter where the gut pile and hide was, and was led to a spot behind the camp, but the warden saw no hide. The subject told the warden that a coyote must have drug it off. After circling the camp, the warden found the hide. When the warden spread out the hide, he noted a buckshot hole. Seeing that, the subject put his hands in the air and asked, How much is the ticket? Case and civil restitution pending. Recipe for a Citation Two Nacogdoches County game wardens were checking bowhunters when they noticed heavy traffic going through a gate. The wardens entered the property and contacted an individual cooking deer meat in a camp over an open fire. The subject claimed they were only hunting hogs and that no deer had been harvested. Two more hunters arrived in camp with the same story. After the wardens located a skinning rack with deer hair, fresh blood, and a backstrap of a deer in a plastic bag, they investigated the camp further and found a hidden deer head from a buck with a 5 to 6-inch spread. The deer was harvested illegally with a bolt-action rifle during archery-only season. Multiple citations issued. Cases pending. Looking for Trouble A Montgomery County game warden responded to a call in Walden on Lake Conroe. Montgomery County deputies stopped a suspicious vehicle that was suspected of stealing copper from houses in the neighborhood. While searching the vehicle, the deputies found a loaded rifle equipped with laser sights, a bow equipped with a flashlight, and a flashlight in the truck. Both subjects were interviewed by the game warden and said they were driving around the subdivision looking for a deer to shoot. The next day, the warden followed up on the call by searching the original location where the subjects were seen and getting a statement from the reporting caller. While searching the lot, the warden found an arrow matching those that were found in the truck. Both subjects were arrested, and multiple cases are pending. Drive-by A Montgomery County game warden received an Operation Game Thief call about four high school-age males road hunting in a neighborhood with a bow. The caller gave a good description, but the violators were gone before she arrived. The next night, with the help of another game warden, the wardens patrolled the neighborhoods where the subjects were last seen and noticed a truck turning around and shining a light on several deer. The wardens stopped the surprised violator who had a bow in his lap, window down, and an LED nock of his arrow lit up. The subject confessed to trying to get a better look at the nearby buck to see if its rack was wider than 13-inches because he didnt want to break the antler restriction law. He also confessed to road hunting with three friends in the same area the night before. The suspect identified the men he was with the previous night, along with providing a detailed list of their poaching activities. Charges are pending on all individuals involved. Scouting for a Thief A Montgomery County game warden received a call from the manager of a Boy Scout camp in Conroe. Theyd had several items stolen over the last few months, including gas from their bulk tanks. The warden was able to set up a department-issued camera that immediately sends photographic evidence to his cell phone when photos are taken. A few nights later, photographs of a suspect pumping gas into his truck and gas cans in the truck bed began pouring in. Wardens and other officers responded immediately and apprehended the suspect. The suspect was arrested for theft and for felony tampering with physical evidence after deleting photos of Craigslist ads he had posted of stolen equipment. Additional photos were recovered that showed items he had previously stolen from the Boy Scout camp. Multiple cases pending. Another Day at the Office Game wardens from Dimmit and Zavala County, along with Border Patrol agents and Dimmit County Sheriff s deputies, retrieved 11 individuals by TPWD boat from a fishing camp that had been flooded by a fast rise on the Nueces River. The occupants of the camp, including three elderly individuals, lost eight vehicles to the flooding. Everyone and four dogs were transported to a shelter located in Carrizo Springs by Dimmit County deputies and Border Patrol agents.

Brumme lands countys latest law enforcement position

By CEDRIC IGLEHART
newseditor@gonzalescannon.com

GONZALES The latest addition to the Gonzales County Attorneys Office was made official last month at the courthouse when John Brumme was sworn in by Gonzales County Judge David Bird as the new investigator for the office of county attorney Paul Watkins. The position was created because Watkins office took over felony prosecution duties for the county on September 1. Brumme, along with new assistant county attorney Keri Miller, took over his new post on September 2. Watkins said Brumme, a former police officer with the City of Gonzales Police Department, possessed several qualities that made him the ideal person for the job. One of the things that has devolved to all investigators across the state of Texas is they almost always have to have a technology background and John certainly qualified for that, Watkins said. When Keri and I are trying cases, the last thing we want to have to be worried about is the technology. The deciding factor for John was his familiarity with this community and all of the local law enforcement agencies. He is not and should ever be interpreted as being their boss because they work for their agencies. As the investigator, Johns job is to create a dialogue and be a liaison between the prosecutors office and law enforcement and John has the perfect temperament for that.

law enforcement is in my blood and I cant get it out. Brumme said he applied for the investigators position because he wanted to serve area residents on a scale larger than a local officer. This has been a great

community to me ever since I moved here in the early 2000s, he said. This community has been very welcoming to myself and my family. Being with the police department I was able to work for the community, but I wanted to do

it in a broader way. Brumme said the law enforcement agencies in this area are a tight-knit community and he is eager to continue working with officers from Gonzales PD, Nixon PD, Waelder PD and the Sheriff s Office.

I know all of those guys personally, he said. I dont get to work as much with Nixon PD as I would like to and were going to change that, but I know those guys too. Im going to make sure BRUMME, Page D4

John Brumme
A native of Corpus Christi, Brumme joined the Air Force after high school. After his term of service was completed, he went to San Antonio and attended the Community College of the Air Force to study computers. He parlayed his new technology knowledge into a job working for the Air Force in civil service. He later came to Gonzales when he took job as a tech with GVEC. In 2009, Brumme was hired by the Gonzales Police Department and they sent him to the Victoria College Police Academy. Once I graduated, I was picked up here and did a small three-year contract, he said. I fell in love with the police department, so I decided to stay a little bit longer. Law enforcement has been around my family for a long time. Its just something I was always intrigued by. Whenever the officers were around, it was pretty cool to watch what they did. I was always more technical minded, but now

theres always a connection between them and my office so that they know Im only just a phone call away. Brummes brother, Jared, was also drawn in the direction of law enforcement. He works as a jailer for the Gonzales County Sheriff s Office and recently passed his TCLEOSE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education) exam in anticipating of possibly joining GPD in the near future. Watkins said as far as he is concerned, Brumme validated his selection through the work he put in for the trial of Gregory Fonseca.

Johns already proven to be invaluable, said Watkins. The Fonseca trial would not have had the result that it had without Johns work. Between finding witnesses and doing statements and preparing things, he was instrumental and a very effective piece of the team that made that verdict happen. There are no more personnel additions planned for Watkins office in the new budget, but he said he anticipates more changes down the road. We are growing at a certain percentage, but were going to try to do the job with the amount of people that we have, he said.

Davis in charge of Gonzales DPS office

By CEDRIC IGLEHART
newseditor@gonzalescannon.com

Gonzales DPS personnel

GONZALES Everybody loves to hear tales about the local boy who done good and one of the top law enforcers in the county has been become the latest of such anecdotal personification. Patrick Davis was promoted in August by the Texas Department of Public Safety to the rank of Highway Patrol Sergeant. This means that now Davis is in charge of the DPS office located in Gonzales, the place he was born and raised. Entering into his 27th year with DPS, Davis came out of the academy and worked for two years as a trooper in Hallettsville. He transferred to the Gonzales office in 1990 and spent most of that time serving as a Highway Patrol Corporal. The path to his promotion was cleared after the offices former sergeant, Tony Rodriguez, transferred to San Antonio in order to be closer to his home. After all of these years, I finally got the chance to be a sergeant in Gonzales, said Davis. I think DPS is the top rated law enforcement agency in the world. Im proud to be working for them. The Gonzales DPS office houses nine highway troopers with another one coming in this month. It also has one CVE (commerical vehicle enforcement) trooper and a K-9 sergeant. I couldnt ask for a better group of troopers to work with, Davis said. It would be hard for me to come in and change anything because Ive had input throughout my whole time here as a corporal. We have a great group of guys who are dedicated and work extremely hard. Davis said some of the primary goals of the office have changed over the last couple of years, most notably is the increased emphasis on road safety. The area

Pat Davis
has been inundated with CVE troopers recently as a result of a task force formed by DPS due to the high volume of truck traffic. Right now our focus is on the Eagle Ford Shale because the traffic is so outstanding, theres just trucks everywhere, he said. Weve had a lot of accidents involving commerical motor vehicles, but luckily most of those have not been those vehicles fault. Weve had complaints from the citizens so weve made it a point to help keep the roads safe. While Davis is proficient in several areas of law enforcement, he is widely regarded as an expert in criminal drug interdiction (CDI). In 1996, he received the DPS Directors Citation for making over 25 arrests resulting in large amounts of contraband being taken off the road. That same year he was also recognized nationally by the U.S. Western District Federal Court in San Antonio, who named Davis as the Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee (LECC) State Law Enforcement Officer of the Year. Highly decorated for his CDI prowess, Davis has also earned numerous Service Commander Awards in addition to honors from the U.S. Department of Transportation. His exploits were also chronicled on popular television show Real Stories of the Highway Patrol, during which he initiated a

traffic stop on camera that resulted in the seizure of over 70 pounds of marijuana. Because of his expertise, Davis is a frequent speaker at Drug Interdiction Assistance Program conferences and has also taught his techniques to law enforcement agencies in Fort Scott, Kansas; Columbia, South Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Orlando, Florida. Those conferences are a great networking tool where you can see the trends of whats happening in other areas, Davis said. Of course, everybody wants to know whats going in Texas because being on the Mexican border we get a lot of big loads. Working with other officers has been a wonderful part of my career. Davis is so good at drug interdiction, hes even been credited with assisting in busts in his sleep. I get phone calls all the time where an officer has stopped a vehicle and asks for my opinion on where to look for contraband, he said. Its a great feeling to be able to talk an officer through a successful drug bust at 3 in the morning. Ive always loved to get out on the interstate and get drug busts. I think its exciting, plus in our position, we can get DWI drivers off the road. Davis is married with one daughter and has two brothers who also live in the Gonzales area. He has also reveled in the opportunity to be an important part of the group of people charged with this areas safety. Being a hometown boy its always great to have the trust and respect of the people in the county, said Davis. They are the ones who compose the jury when we file cases. Its awesome when they side with us because they know that as law enforcement officers, we work day and night trying to keep them safe. I just want to thank Gonzales for all of its support.

The retirement of a partner and a friend

By Jon Harris Special to the Cannon A couple years ago, before I started contracting overseas, I was the canine officer for the Precinct 3 Constables office in Gonzales County. Constable Raleigh Measom had the vision to see where a canine was needed for the county and he and I worked tirelessly to bring that to a reality. For the three years I was with the Constables office, I worked with my partner K-9 Buddy, who became a familiar site at pet adoption events held at Tractor Supply on Sundays as well as in the patrol car on the road. Buddy was well known on the highway and was called on by every agency serving Gonzales County. We made many drug finds while patrolling the highway, which BTW is designated as a HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area). Together we confiscated drugs, money and numerous vehicles of all types. Buddy was a triple-certified drug detection canine and he was very good at his job. During that time Buddy even had a column in the Cannon where he gave tips to the younger folks and answered questions. One of Buddys youngest fans then was Rufus King, there at Kings Gas Station in town. I always liked taking Buddy by there to see Rufus when we were on duty. Buddy really liked Rufus. That is special because Buddy was very particular about who he would let come close to the car. Rufus was one of the very few and as far as Buddy was concerned, OK.

Buddy
On Sept 30th 2010, we were involved of a serious accident while working on Interstate 10. Our patrol car took a hit at 80 mph directly in the drivers door. Not immediately, but over time the injuries from that accident pretty much ended Buddys law enforcement career as well as mine. Sadly, Buddy is now blind. He stays at home still protecting the house, but ironically can still find the drugs. We went to one last certification back in April of 2013 and Buddy came through with flying colors. After the test, several officers I know saw me help Buddy back to the car. During the test, they had no idea he was blind. Not until it was over was that evident. Buddy is a loyal friend and partner who in that accident saved my life. Without Buddy and the way things happened, I feel I would not have survived. Now, he will serve out the rest of his days in a life of leisure at our home in Harwood running around his yard that he knows like the back of his paw, and chasing Tito, our newest canine addition to the family, for his toys. Maybe he will give Tito a few tips on drug detection. You never can tell. Now retired after almost 30 years of law enforcement and serving as a contract explosive detection dog handler in Iraq, some may say my life as gone to the dogs. I say I wouldnt have it any other way. Unconditional love, loyalty and trust is what a dog brings to the partnership. That is something very hard to find in two-legged animals these days.
