Saluting Our Veterans
Body found possibly of flood victim

CALDWELL COUNTY There has been a new development in the search for a missing Caldwell County woman. Caldwell County Sheriff Daniel Law announced that on Tuesday the body of a female was recovered from Brushy Creek. As of press time, no identification has been made but the Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident. Authorities have been searching for 57year old Cynthia McKee ever since the truck she was riding in was swept away by flood waters on November 1. Law said on Monday that divers from the Department of Public Safety located the truck, which was driven by Willie Brite, who went around a barricade warning of high water at Brushy Creek off of Palonia Road. At approximately 9:53 p.m., Caldwell County deputies responded to 142 Elm Creek Road to meet with a complainant who was advising he and his female companion had driven his vehicle into a low water crossing and had been swept away. Upon arrival, deputies met with Brite who then directed them to Brushy Creek on Palonia Road, which is off of FM 2001. As the vehicle was being swept away, Brite managed to get out of his truck which was fully submerged, but he did not know whether McKee had made it out of the truck or not. The Chisholm Trail Fire Department and DPS troopers were dispatched to the area and emergency personnel exhaustVICTIM, Page A9

Inside This Week:
A potential cost-saving measure was proposed during a regular meeting of the Gonzales County Commissioners Court on Wednesday morning. Chris Rivera of MHSC Energy Management Inc. gave a presentation to the court about switching their lighting system over to LED lighting. MHSC is an independent energy management and consulting firm offering objective electric procurement and energy analysis services to commercial, residential, industrial and government entities. The light bulb has had a good run for 134 years, but tests have shown that LED lighting is light years ahead of them, said Rivera. Its basically silicone or sand, which takes very little energy to burn and its much brighter. Rivera said making the change could result in a savings up to 80 percent per year on the countys electric bill. He told of one client who spent $196,000 on lights in a five-year period and saw their bill decrease to $44,000 after converting to LED. For the cost of five cups of coffee, let us come in and do a light survey so we can show you what kind of savings you can have, said Rivera. Among the other positives Rivera detailed for making the switch was that each light provided by MHSC will have a fiveyear, full-replacement warranty and they COUNTY, Page A9

FOGAS, so the cost to adopters will be FREE rather than the normal $75 fee. We are thrilled with this donation and the timing couldnt be better, said FOGAS spokesperson Mary Ann McLean. Many of our visitors truly love the cats, but have gone through some difficult economic times over the last couple of years. We know if they dont adopt a cat from us they will probably get a free cat elsewhere that is not spayed or neutered or vaccinated, she added. It could result in unwanted litters and create a health concern. Thats not good for us, the cats, the new owners or the community. The donation will allow FOGAS to place terrific cats in good, qualified homes without the financial barrier of the adoption fee. FOGAS will be screening potential
adopters to ensure theyw ill be responsible pet owners and will use the same criteria as before. FOGAS is located at 505 St. Francis St. in downtown Gonzales, and adoption hours are 3-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 1-4 p.m. on Saturdays or you can call 830-857-1616 to set an appointment. FOGAS is a 501c3 charitable organization founded in 2004. Since its inception, FOGAS has spayed or neutered more than 3,000 shelter orphans and another 3,500 pets owned by residents of the community. They have also re-homed more than 4,000 cats and dogs. The spay/neuter surgeries are done at no cost to pet owners, the City of Gonzales or Gonzales County. Becuase of these efforts the City of Gonzales was able to establish a no-kill cat shelter nine years ago.

Remembering my old comrades on Veterans Day

The explosion of Facebook has, for many of us, rekindled relationships from years and years ago. I found many of my old Deer Park High School Class of 77 classmates, for example, through a Facebook page. But its not just old school days. A little more than a year ago I ran across one of my old Marine buddies. In short order, weve been able to reassemble a lot of the old Public Affairs Office - Camp LeJeuene crew. And that brought back some memories on Veterans Day this year. One such was the evening when Jim Fitzgibbons, Mike McLean, D.J. Ferrier, myself and a few others from the old PAO shop enjoyed an evening on the night-combat assault course. The idea is to traverse a field heavy with obstacles under fire, at night, with minimal other directions. While we Combat Correspondents are always quick to point out that we run with the grunts, however, there are times wed have been just as happy to have stayed in the rear with the gear. Bear in mind that all Marines get a whiff of CS (Chemical Substances: i.e., tear gas) once a year, as much to familiarize them with the need for protection as anything. You go

to the gas chamber, you take your mask off, you put it back on, you clear it, you get a sting in your eyes and a runny nose for about 15 minutes then you go home. So when they issued us gas masks at the start of the night exercise, we really didnt think that much on it. Wed been gassed before; it was no big deal. About 20 minutes into the night assault course, when we were all hung up in concertina wire, shredding freshly-pressed cammies, punching holes in boots and skin and eliciting some of the most colorful strings of four-letter words we could create, we learned how important those masks were when we couldnt reach them because we were so entangled in the wire. Ever had a tear-gas canister lobbed in about five feet away from you, and not be able to reach the gas mask thats only half a foot away
from your hand, attached to your right thigh, which is hung in the air by a strand of barbed wire? We finally got to our trusty K-Bar knives and cut ourselves free, even though we could hardly see a thing because of the gas. We took a photo when we got to the PAO office that night, and its actually pretty comical to realize the two most senior guys Fitz and myself are the ones with the uniforms most shredded. We public-affairs types could be pretty salty when we needed to be. Attached as we were to Headquarters Battalion, we figured it was up to us to teach the office pogues and boot lieutenants how to survive combat. During one such operation, a detachment of HQBn pogues was assigned to defend a position in the North Carolina woods against a simulated attack by Force Recon. Led by Chuck Jenks, a sergeant, and myself, a salty corporal, we prepared our position well welldefended fighting holes manned by two-man teams spaced with overlapping fields of fire. We even found some nearby thorn bushes to hold up Recon while we located fire on them. Just about the time Chuck and I were congratulating one another on a job well-done, we got word
The hard chargers of Public Affairs Office - Camp LeJeuene, circa 1989
that Recon was on the move. So I flitted about to check the positions I was overseeing. Sandbags were in place, holes were dug to the proper depth, foliage was used to help conceal them, fields of fire were clear. Except for one hole. That one fighting hole was manned by the two WMs (Women Marines) on my team. It wasnt actually a hole so much as it was a shallow trench with some brush piled in front. One of my Marines was busy trying to tune in her portable FM radio, while the other was busy painting her nails a neon shade of red. The one tuning the radio had her rifle with her, at least. Pfc Alexander, who hailed from Misssippi (that show she pronounced it)
had neatly stowed her rifle leaned against a tree 15 feet away from her. I did my very best angry drill instructor. Directing a stream of rather unprofessional language at my two debutantes, I grabbed Miss Alexanders rifle and launched it into the bush in front of the hole, telling her You can just go (bleeping) find it! It hit one of the Recon guys in the helmet as they rushed forward to capture us all, shot unfired. They said later theyd been unaware of our position until I started bellowing. The salty corporal, not the coutured private first class, wound up looking like the idiot. I sure do miss those days. Semper Fi, my brothers and sisters.
Obamacare has always been about power, not healthcare

A few weeks ago, Cruz and the Tea Party fought to delay Obamacares individual mandate during the debate over the partial government shutdown. Democrats like Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California called ObamaCare opponents arsonists, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called them anarchists. Others used words phrases like political terrorism, said they were guilty of murder. Republicans apologized for their behavior and promised to on solutions while President Obama refused to negotiate. However, as of this past week, Democrats are singing a different tune. In a letter to Obama, Democrat New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen said allowing extra time for consumers is critically important so they have the opportunity to become familiar with the [Obamacare] website, survey their options and enroll. Fellow Democrat Senators Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana are among 10 Democrat sena-

tors who have signed Shaheens letter to the president. Say what? Another Democrat, Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, said, Given the technical issues, it makes sense to extend the time for people to sign up. Then theres other Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia who is drafting legislation to delay by a year the penalties facing people who do not buy government-mandated insurance, and Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska who is asking to extend the individual enrollment period. Double say what? These Democrats have either realized the truth that Obamacare is unworkable, or they are just trying to save their political skins. The tremendous failure of the Obamacare website is an initial snap shot of this terrible law itself. Americans are also recognizing the lie of the promise of Obamacare as their insurance is being canceled, while others have seen their insurance premiums go up in recent weeks. This law was never about health care; it was/is about power. The White House keeps pushing a law that most Americans dont want, even though it has cost jobs, canceled insurance plans, and cutbacks in work hours. But still Obama and his ultra-liberal supporters press on in this power grab while they blame everyone and anyone. The Democrats and the mainstream media try to excuse the laws problems, and try to help the Obama administration explain the failures in implementing the law, but they just dont seem to understand that truth always wins out. The facts always come out. This is a terrible law and it will never work. Main stream GOP leaders have recoil in fear of the Tea Party and criticize Cruz for his strong stand, but whether they want to admit it or not, people are beginning to understand why the Tea Party and Cruz took such a strong stance. When the child stated out loud that the Emperor had no clothes, his parents and other adults tried to cover his mouth and shut him up. Likewise, this law is not about health but about power and we must resist it. The GOP adults should stop trying to shut up the Tea Party and Cruz and any other conservatives for stating the facts.
The Obamacare whiners

Henry Waxman made a plea at the end of a House hearing grilling Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The California Democrat asked Republicans to reach across the aisle to work with Democrats to improve Obamacare. Yes, Henry Waxman, who has made a career of ideological witch hunts and smash-mouth partisanship, wants a ceasefire over Obamacare, or so he says. He was picking up a common liberal theme: Its not fair that Republicans continue to oppose the presidents eponymous health-care law and pick at its failures, deceits and irrationalities. If only they were more reasonable, Obamacare could be tightened up with a few technocratic fixes and go on to its glorious destiny. Its a little late to get Republican buyin, though. That would have required serious compromise back in 2009, when Democrats, at the high tide of their power in the Obama era, saw no reason to make any. They insisted on this particular law, at this particular time. They own it. They own every canceled policy, every rate increase, every unintended consequence and every unpopular intended consequence. It is theirs, lock, stock and two smoking barrels. But they cant stop whining. They complain that Republicans arent as cooperative as Democrats were when the Medicare Part D prescription-drug plan had a rocky start. This is absurd. The Part D website experienced what could be accurately described as glitches, rather than the meltdown of HealthCare.gov. And Democrats supported the basic idea of the prescription-drug benefit. They complain that what they really wanted was single-payer, but had to settle for the unsatisfying second-best of Obamacare. Paul Krugman calls the health-care law a clumsy, ugly structure that more or less deals with a problem, but in an inefficient way. The reason they couldnt get single-payer, though, is that

there werent enough Democratic votes for it. The White House is loath to give up the falsity about everyone keeping their current insurance. White House aide Valerie Jarrett tweeted that it is a FACT that nothing in #Obamacare forces people out of their health plans. Never mind that the entire architecture of the law is based on forcing people in the individual insurance market out of their existing plans and onto the exchanges. In a health-care speech in Boston, President Barack Obama didnt say anything about how his prior declarations had been misleading. Instead, he tweaked his dishonesty for a different positive spin: For the fewer than 5 percent of Americans who buy insurance on your own, you will be getting a better deal. Not if they are forced -- as many of them will be -- to buy benefits they dont need at a price they dont want to pay. From the beginning, Obamacare has depended on a political ethic of doing and saying whatever is necessary. The falsehood about people keeping their coverage was essential to selling the legislation. So the president repeated it relentlessly. The president got his law, and its possible more people will be uninsured in 2014 than if it had never passed. Thats on him, no matter how much he and his supporters want to evade responsibility for their own achievement. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. (c) 2013 by King Features Synd., Inc.

In tandem with scanning the written word I cock an ear and occasional eye up at the telly on the wall. Tuned to Fox there on Channel 7 out of Austin. A reporter of the female persuasion is excited about the upcoming Veterans Day parade, being that

When PR, marketing intrude on whats news

This is an edited transcription of an interview heard on The News from the Camphouse on KULM 98.3 FM. Brune: Its good to be back in Texas. Most folks may not realize that I was in northwestern Wyoming for slightly more than two months. And winter came early to the Rocky Mountains. Some people may have heard about the 100,000 head of cattle that were lost in the Dakotas. Prior to the snow there were torrential rains. The local boys said theyd never seen such hard rain in the mountains. Those clear mountain streams we normally drink from were muddy torrents. Its already a bad year in the northcountry and winter has just begun. But were back in Texas and lets address some ideas and questions. With us this
today is Veterans Day. In passing I note to myself that there is no peace on earth and there never has been. But lets consider this day as a USA Today headline somberly notes: Greatest Generation rapidly dwindling. And the copy reiterates by allowing that of the 16.1 million World War II veterans, fewer than 1.7 million are still alive. They are dying at a rate of more than 600 a day. USA Today also tosses in that 107-yearold Richard Overton is believed to be the oldest living WWII vet. Mr. Overton is a Texan. And today President Obama allegedly will take time off from his busy golf schedule he played his 150th round since taking office on Saturday to honor Mr. Overton with his presence.
Its more of a photo op for the Prez and for him to acknowledge the men and women who have served and died for the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free. I contend the U.S. of A is the Home of the Brave, but no longer does it appear to be a Land of the Free. Not with the Gestapo and Nazi Germany tactics employed by Homeland Security, SWAT teams, drones, and the NSA tapping into our phones, emails, computers, and body searches. Consider that poor fellow that endured eight anal probes digital exams, colonoscopy, ex-rays to determine if he had drugs up his and no he didnt. That was in Deming, N.M. last week. Here in the Land of the Free. But back to Veterans Day. A day of remembrance for those that served. Statistics are depressing. It doesnt take a Chinese abacus to put stock in the number of U.S. war casualties through August 2, 2012. In all conflicts from the American Revolutionary War to the Iraq War 1,343,812 U.S. deaths have been recorded with 1,529,230 wounded and 38,159 missing. Thats a passel of people that have suited up and died for the Red, White and Blue. Ofttimes I give thought to the number of citizens that didnt serve. Im not faulting em. Thereve been conscientious objectors since the first shot fired against mankind.
Draft dodging was a popular pastime during the strange little war, Vietnam, which beckoned me when the Selective Service Commission greeted me with a letter from the president. You see, the Army was the only branch of the U.S. Armed Forces that relied on conscription the draft to man its divisions. In 19 and 73, due to protests and whatever the draft was abolished in favor of an allvolunteer Army. So today you have middle-age fellas in their 40s and 50s that never held membership in what was known as 1A. Eligible for the draft. Which accounts for many a man that could care less for what it means to be a veteran. They were never faced with compulsory service. And Veterans Day has little import for them. From first hand knowledge and through the eye of a lens as a combat photographer I can attest that war is a bad time. For boys to be in a uniform. But in a matter of battles they become men. For the veterans that return war doesnt end with the coming home. It lingers as the veteran ages. Hearts can break. Minds can break. And the wars finally die at random for the veteran. In nursing homes, veterans hospitals, cancer wards, car wrecks, suicide, old age. When we surrender with a white sheet pulled over our head down the road.
Looking Down from the Saddle

week is my daughter Samantha Brune. She lives in Austin and is in the Public Relations Department at National Instruments. Sam, can you explain the differences in public relations (PR), sales and marketing, and what is good newspaper reporting? Sam: Yes, lets think about watching the morning news. There are many ways that PR can influence the content of a news program. Lets say youre
watching stories about crime and events in your neighborhood. Then a feelgood piece comes on about new developments in cancer research. Youll notice that the news anchor may be talking about the developments but the video doesnt have an anchor or news reporter included. That is likely because the video comes from the PR department of a pharmaceutical company. Thats one example of a straightforward way PR is integrated with news programs. Brune: Okay, but this is innocuous. Its almost like the ads for vitamins and health supplements that most folks dont buy. However, I think were moving towards the point Im after. So lets next ask, what is the difference between PR and marketing and sales? Sam: PR is a tool for marketing which of course
Another aspect of the justice system: the prosecutors office

Last time we took a closer look at the folks at the DPS Crime Lab, and at the enormous job that they have to do. Now lets look at a typical prosecutors office in a little more closely. Our local prosecutors office is a busy place. There are receptionists, case intake coordinators, victims services coordinators, prosecuting attorneys, investigators, and in charge of it all either an elected district attorney, or, as is the case here in Gonzales county, an elected county attorney that handles both misdemeanor and felony cases. Lets construct an imaginary local prosecutors office and assume that they have five law enforcement agencies in their jurisdiction. Now, lets say that each law enforcement agency averages six criminal investigations per week. That is an average of 30 criminal
hopefully leads to sales. In PR you may have companies talking to reporters and may not have their product specifically mentioned. But instead will promote issues or drive awareness that in turn pushes what theyre trying to sell. Brune: Now lets talk about bigger fish. I believe that public campaigns can influence national perception and political policy. Most recently, Michael Berry made a short rant on his talk radio program that Big Oil wont sponsor his program. Well, Ive been all over the Natural Gas Alliance, as well as, contacted companies like Devon, BP, and Marathon. And no, they wont sponsor programs like ours. We dont advocate being their cheerleaders, but a great part of our listeners have jobs that are oil patch related. I believe the bulk of their PR or advertising money goes to lobbyists. Meanwhile, there seems to be a consensus that the U.S. should be energy independent. However, with private interests heavily invested in the Middle East and West Africa, and, with the lacking needed oil patch infrastructure being dependent on approval by the Environmental Protection Agency, and with a hostile White House administration it seems that energy independence is impossible. We must also note that subsidized wind and solar production hasnt amounted to a fart in a whirlwind. Our journalistic community is
divided to the right and left. The public is in a quandary for real news on whether we will ever reach energy independence. And most of what we read is biased. Sam: Many reporters only cover specific types of energy production. There is a question of how unbiased is journalism. That begins with who owns larger publications. When you say that energy companies wont spend money on advertising with certain types of programs you are bringing up a different aspect. In todays media reporters are constantly updating news websites and rely on companies to provide content. The companies will do that free. Likewise, publications need advertising to exist. Then you must ask, Where is the line in the sand? Where is the line drawn between money, the owners viewpoints, and journalistic integrity? The lines are blurring. We see the lines blurring even in paid for content. Youll read articles and at the bottom there may be a tiny sentence that says sponsored by xyz. This is even more evident in European and Asian publications. In those places companies pay for an ad and also have room for an article. Were seeing that also come to life in interesting ways here in the U.S. Brune: Thats not journalism and that is scary. Sam: Okay, do you see the stuff at the top of your page when youre searching on google? Or, when youre
reading Facebook and suddenly there are posts at the top of your feed that say sponsored by Theres an interesting convergence of brand content happening in the news that were reading. Brune: And this points to the loss in journalistic integrity that has occurred over the past few years. Sam: The press has been called the fourth arm of the government. They are another checkpoint on what is going on in the world. My concern is that people should always ask questions. When something is skewed too far to the left or right always ask questions. Hopefully, there is common ground. Brune: So, the public is constantly barraged with PR campaigns. Sam: Yes, they are happening all around us and theyre influencing what were thinking about and what we buy. Its hard to put your thumb down on the definition of PR. But its those that want to influence the public utilize PR to get the public to accept ideas and sometimes without the end user ever realizing they have been influenced. Sales: Is working with someone that has a need you may fulfill. Marketing: Is a way to make people aware that you want or may be able to help them. Brune: And the relation between marketing and PR? Sam: Yes, PR is definitely one aspect for marketing.

cases per week, 120 per month, and an average of 1,440 criminal cases per year. Remember, in our imaginary prosecutors office each agency is only averaging six criminal investigations per week. The reality is that this is usually much higher. First, well look at the reception personnel. These folks are generally the first people that greet you when you visit the prosecutors office. In my experience, they
are friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. They have a tough job, because they get all kinds of people visiting their offices in all kinds of moods, with all kinds of problems and they handle each request individually and professionally. Next, lets look at the case intake coordinators. A case intake coordinator receives the incoming criminal cases from the various jurisdictions that the prosecutors office is responsible for. They go through each case packet and verify that all of the necessary case information has been presented to their office for review by the appropriate prosecutor. If necessary, they contact the submitting law enforcement agency and request any additional information thats needed. Case intake coordinators are among the unsung heroes of the criminal justice system. You can
usually tell where the case intake coordinators desk is because of all the paperwork on top of it! They do a great job and get very few thank yous. Now lets take a look at the victims services coordinators. Victims services coordinators are the main point of contact between the victim and the prosecutors office, as well as the point of contact between the victim and the state agencies that provide victims services programs. They make certain that the prosecutors office has up-to-date contact information for each crime victim, inform and educate crime victims of their rights in Texas, and, when necessary, coordinate assistance services for victims. Crime victims may also have a wide range of needs. Some victims require financial assistance to leave an abusive relationship, counseling in the aftermath of a
traumatic event, or the latest information concerning the criminal incident that they are the victim of. Sometimes they just need someone to listen to them. Victims services coordinators are (in my experience) caring, compassionate, hardworking people who love their jobs. Our imaginary local prosecutors office intakes an average of 30 criminal cases per week. This means that our local victims services coordinator can have potentially 45 crime victims to coordinate services for on a weekly basis. Through it all the crime victim can count on their local victims services coordinator. They are an invaluable local resource for both our communities and law enforcement. Next week, well continue our closer look at our local prosecutors office. Until then, be careful, be safe, and enjoy life!

Wilson Co. subdivision planned

AUSTIN Southwest Engineers Inc., a full-service civil and environmental engineering firm, has announced its continued partnership with Abrego Development Company on the rapid expansion of Abrego Lake subdivision in Wilson County near San Antonio. The seventh phase of expansion will provide homes for more than 650 total community residents in one of the premier neighborhoods in the region. Over the past decade, Wilson County has experienced a rapid population growth of 32.4%, more than twice that of the state increase of 12.7%. The additional people have led to a booming acceleration in residential construction throughout the northwest portion of the county. The rapid growth Wilson County communities are experiencing requires adherence to regulations that were previously not in place. They are now starting to follow many of the same requirements found in urban areas like San Antonio and Aus-
tin. Subdivision regulations in Wilson County were fairly minimal when we first began land development work on Abrego Lake eight years ago, said John Littlefield, CEO of Southwest Engineers. Since then, the requirements for street and drainage design, detention, and other hydraulic engineering concerns have become much more strict with each new phase of subdivision expansion. These new regulations protect the county and its citizens and provide for a better product for the homebuyers. The experienced team at Southwest Engineers supports a due diligence process enabling Abrego Lake to seamlessly adapt to the countys regulations, fostering rapid growth and development and minimizing the disruptive effects of rapid change to create healthy, sustainable communities. Since Phase 1 of the Abrego Lake project in 2005, Southwest Engineers has managed extensive land development and water projects throughout the property, including extensive
street and drainage design and a turn lane off the new TxDOT highway. Abrego Lake currently houses 171 homes that range in size from 1.01 acres to 5.12 acres. The seventh phase of expansion will add 60 lots to the subdivision. As part of the seventh and latest phase of expansion, Southwest Engineers will assist with a variety of land development and civil engineering services, including street and drainage design, water distribution systems, storm sewers, and analysis and delineation of flood plains. The seamless planning and development for our single-family lot expansion at Abrego Lake has been a collaborative alliance with Southwest Engineers, said Kevin Brown, president of Abrego Development Company. Their expertise with water way planning and drainage along with land development is helping us create a more sustainable community. They are working with us to set the same standards for other projects including Eden Crossing in Wilson County and Kenedy Station in Karnes County.

ing Main Streets Business Improvement Grant from $10,000 to $15,000 or a maximum of 80 percent of the project. City Council also approved the Utility Relocation Grant.

The Business Improvement grant has been available at a $10,000 or a maximum of 80 percent of the project since 2009. Main Street has awarded sixteen grants which have resulted in a total reinvestment to the downtown area of $229,976.22. This has made a great impact on the downtown area.

Each year, in conjunction with Constitution Day in September, Republican Women of Yoakum (RWOY) sponsor a Constitution Essay Contest for all seniors in Lavaca and DeWitt Counties. At the RWOY meeting on November 6, Rafael Cruz announced St. Paul High School senior Samantha Siegel (shown, above right) as the $1,000 grand prize winner of the essay contest. Cruz, father of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, spoke of his lifes struggle for the American Dream. He captivated the audience with details of fighting the Communist Batistas regime and his early life torture and imprisonment. Cruz came to America in 1957 with no more than the clothes he was wearing and one hundred dollars. Also pictured are the St. Paul High School Student Council officers and class representatives who attended the luncheon including (front row, from left) Victoria Kusak, Hannah Novosad, Kymberlie Malatek, Cassidy Thomas, Sydney Mikes, Wenji Ma, (back row) Samuel Wenske, Jed Janecek, Derek Kapavik, Samantha Siegel, Kyle Chunda, Austin Barton, Ben Janecek, and Kurt Chunda. Other area schools in attendance and represented were Yoakum I.S.D., Cuero I.S.D., Yorktown I.S.D, and Hallettsville Sacred Heart.
GISD trustees asked to consider soccer

By DAVE MUNDY
manager@gonzalescannon.com
Gonzales school trustees on Monday heard a request to consider launching a competetive soccer program in the district. During the public com-
ment portion of Mondays monthly meeting, Jesse Elizondo, who runs the community Gonzales Youth Soccer League, told trustees that participation in the sport is increasing every year and the district could create
a varsity program at the high-school level which would enhance rather than detract from other sports like football. There is no significant conflict with football, he said, noting the UIL soccer season in Texas

will provide equal to if not better than the current lighting. MHSC also offers an insurance policy where if the savings they project are not accurate, then the company will pay the difference back to the county. Weve basically eliminated all of the risks, Rivera said. He asked the court to sign a letter of intent to allow MHSC to conduct a light survey that will grant them access to one years worth of the countys electric bills, along with access to a county building of their choice and one hour of time to consult with a maintenance employee. Rivera said his company will come back to do the survey in a couple of months and the results should be available a few weeks after its completion. MHSC is currently working with other entities throughout the region including Shiner I.S.D., Guadalupe County, Calhoun County, and Giddings I.S.D. A motion for approval of the letter of intent was made by Precinct 4 Commissioner Bud Wuest and seconded by Precinct 3 Commissioner Kevin La Fleur. In another matter, the court authorized notice of a public hearing for creation of a County Energy Transportation Reinvestment Zone (CERTZ).
During its last session, the Texas Legislature passed SB 1747 which allows commissioners courts of a county affected by oil and gas exploration and production activities to designate a contiguous geographic area as a CERTZ to promote a transportation project. Any monies created from this zone will go into the countys road and bridge fund. The court determined the public hearing will be held on November 25 at 9 a.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom. During public comments, County Judge David Bird said the Gonzales County Jail has continually been filled to capacity so he suggested Sheriff Glen Sachtleben speak to other facilities about a possible interlocal agreement to help with any overflow. In other business, the court: Approve the $47,912.82 purchase of a smooth drum vibratory soil compactor for Precinct 4. Approved a contract with Time Warner Cable to provide basic service for the conference room in the county Emergency Management Coordinators office. Awarded a contract worth $23,618 to Fort Worth-based HLK Auto Group Inc. for the purchase of a 3/4-ton pickup.

begins in January rather than the traditional fall soccer season recognized elsewhere. And the conditioning you get in soccer carries over to other sports, it complements them. Elizondo said he had about 30 teenagers turn out this fall for tryouts with GYSLs adult league, and 15 of them made the cut. We have about 160 kids this year and were expecting more next year, he said. Were seeing a groundswell of desire from the kids. And having a soccer program might help you keep some kids in school who might not otherwise be involved in other programs. High school soccer can be an outlet for them. Giddings and LaGrange, two other schools in District 263A, the district in which Gonzales competes in interscholastic sports, offer soccer programs already.

GONZALES, ROCK CITY

Tall Stanley, Peter Stixx and Space Ace hit all the right notes on KISS classic Detroit Rock City.
They look a lot alike, dont they? Local youngster Keisey Ramirez with Georgia Gene
Tribute band delights small JB Wells crowd

The crowd was a little sparse which, considering it was a Friday night during football season in Central Texas, was understandable. But some die-hard classic rock fans definitely got their moneys worth and more at the JB Wells Arena in Gonzales. Several dozen hardy souls were treated to four hours of the 80s in a concert from tribute band KISSiT and its opening act, Lick, hosted by the City of Gonzales. Everybody loves the 70s and the 80s, noted KISSiT front man Georgia Gene. Like the original KISS configuration which included Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, the tribute crew goes only by their stage names in addition to Gene, theres Tall Stanley, Peter Stixx and Space Ace. KISSiT is one of dozens of KISS imitators, but the San Antonio-based group not only has the sound down to a T, theyve got the full blessing of their musical heroes. They loved it. We actually did a meet and greet and opened for one of their concerts about three years ago, Gene said. We go all over Texas now. While accomplished musicians in their own right, what brought the group together was a love for the glitter hard rock of KISS and craigslist. We got started about four years ago when I put an ad on craigslist, said Gene, who wouldnt reveal his ac-

The Family history of Alamo hero Charles Despallier, one of the names among the Immortal 32 of Gonzales, has been unveiled. On February 25, 1836, just one day after sending his famous Victory or Death letter, Colonel Travis sent another letter from the Alamo. He wrote to Major-General Sam Houston, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Texas, citing his men for bravery: Charles Despallier and Robert Brown gallantly sallied out and set fire to houses which afforded the enemy shelter, in the face of the enemy fire. Until now,
but a name in the list of the Immortal 32. Researcher and author Rasmus Dahlqvist has now unveiled the Despallier family history. Searching for the ancestors of his own Belgian grandmother and inspired by family legends, Dahlqvist has dug deep into many archives around the world. The book FROM MARTIN TO DESPALLIER takes you on a journey through four hundred years of colonization, invasions, revolutions and secret treaties. The Martins from France started off as clerks, colonists, and military men. They changed their surname to Despallier and became rebels and US
frontiersmen, while their kin in France made it to consuls and, eventually, to generals. Charles never visited France, nor has his father Bernard ever seen the shores of his ancestors native land, the ancient region of Normandy. Dahlqvists
book tells the incredible story of men making careers in the Royal Navy and Army, in politics, and in justice. These men influenced history in colonial Haiti, in French and Spanish Louisiana and, last but not least, in Texas. It is the first comprehensive work describing the full and detailed family history of one of the men who died at the Alamo: Charles Despallier. Dahlqvists book FROM MARTIN TO DESPALLIER, The Story of a French Colonial Family, is now available at Amazon and at Barnes & Noble, bookstores. (ISBN13 = 9781493603251, ISBN10 = 1493603256 )

Citizenship is something that should be honored, recognized and given status. It has nothing to do with academic achievement and anyone can achieve it. The essence of good citizenship is respect - respect for authority, respect for others, respect for self, and respect for rules. It is an attitude that begins at home and is reinforced at school and applied throughout life. Pictured are the Gonzales Junior High Awesome Apaches for the week ending November 1 (from left): Adrian James, Armeshia Williams and CMadre Vega. (Courtesy photo)
This year, Gonzales Junior High is honoring those with perfect attendance!

Turnout up despite Voter ID fears

AUSTIN In spite of fears raised by some, including the Obama Administration, that Texas new Voter ID law would limit access to the polls, figures released this week by Texas Secretary of State John Steen indicated that the turnout this year over the last similar election nearly doubled. Steen this week thanked county election officials and volunteers for their hard work conducting the 2013 Constitutional Amendment Election. Steen stressed that this was a constitutional amendment election that not only went well but saw increased turnout from the last comparable
election. In 2011, the last constitutional amendment election, 690,052 voters cast a ballot. In the Nov 5 election the unofficial vote totals for Proposition 1 indicate that 1,144,844 voters cast a ballot, a 66 percent increase. This was our first statewide election with a photo ID requirement in place, and it was smooth, secure and successful, said Secretary Steen. Significant credit goes to the county election officials, their employees and the thousands of poll workers across the state who helped execute this new requirement. After the photo ID requirement went into effect following a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in late
June, and in accordance with the charge in the photo ID statute, Secretary Steens office implemented a statewide voter education campaign to prepare voters for the change. Secretary Steen praised county election officials for their efforts to educate voters on a more local level. Traveling around Texas as a part of our statewide voter education campaign, I had the opportunity to visit with many county election officials, said Secretary Steen. I was very impressed with their work to address local issues and concerns from voters. Additionally, they worked hard to make sure Texas poll workers were well trained to manage the photo ID requirement.
A cobra? Are you kidding me, a friggin cobra?

A couple days before I arrived at my new location in northern Iraq, we suffered a casualty. One of our four-legged partners was very sick and had to be medevacd to the veterinary hospital in Bagdad. It took two days to get him there from the time the hospital was notified. In that time things went downexplosive. Al Qaeda terrorists sometimes place explosives on the concrete T-Walls. The picture with this article is my partner searching the exterior of the perimeter. We search for explosives that may have been placed there in an attempt to breach the perimeter. The handler presents the area by placing his hand where he wants his partner to search. This goes on time after time around the three or so mile concrete wall. This night was no different from normal. The handler presented one of countless areas to search and the dog obediently checked. On one of the searches, the dog pulled back sharply as he sniffed the area but did not show signs of an alert or anything else. The night checks continued until the shift was over. The next morning there was something obviously wrong. The dog was not responding well and wanted to do nothing but lay down. He was not drinking or eating. The handler, concerned for his partner, checked him all over and found a large lump on the left side of the dogs neck. It was hot to the touch and clearly was painful. He washed it off and tried to see if maybe there was a thorn or something. When the hair was brushed back he could see the swollen lump was open and leaking

fluid from two small puncture marks. Antiseptic was applied, a Benadryl shot was suggested by the vet and administered by the handler, and the dog allowed to rest. That night the dog became listless and was even more lethargic. A call was placed to the vet in Bagdad and the situation described. The vet immediately ordered the dog to be sent to Bagdad for treatment. Getting the dog from here to Bagdad was no easy feat and it took almost two days to complete. Upon arrival, it was clear the K-9 was in deep trouble and there was little time to waste. Treatment by way of pain relief, fluids, and nutrient support were started as the search for what was wrong commenced. A blood test confirmed the dog had been bitten by a snake. Many of the snakes here are poison and not just a little bit. Most snake bites in Iraq either cost a limb or a life, they are that bad. Further testing indicated the snake had most likely been a cobra! Now when I took the assignment to the Middle East, I figured I knew the risks. Snipers, rocket attacks, IEDs, the occasional suicide bomber and all but I was not prepared for this. A friggin cobra! Yesterday, engineers were out with heavy equipment moving a large dirt pile away from our area. They had been alerted to the snake incident and the vector control guy (exterminator) had found snake tracks going into the hill where there was a high concentration of field mice. We all stood around as the big machines dug into the pile and loaded it on trucks to be taken away. During that operation, three snakes were uncovered. Two sawtooth vipers and one cobra. All of the snakes were deadly. I say were because they are now ex-snakes. Wow, just when you thought it is OK to go outside. BTW, the dog survived and should be back in a couple weeks after it is strong enough to resume it duties of an explosive detection K-9. Credit goes to the handler, who noticed his friend in trouble, and to the vet who, was sharp enough to figure out what was wrong. Watching every step, This is Jon Harris and this was a Dispatch from Downrange-Iraq.

High school footballs second season is among us and the Gonzales Apaches have earned a berth to the playoffs. Gonzales (6-4, 2-3) will face Bellville (8-2, 5-1) in a Class 3A Division I BiDistrict Championship this Saturday at Cub Stadium in Brenham, beginning at 6 p.m. The Apaches are heading into the matchup following a tough 28-24 loss at home last Friday to previouslywinless Smithville, a game where Gonzales blew a 16-point second half lead and saw the Tigers score
the games final 20 points in a row. I thought our kids played hard, we just made too many mistakes, said Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock. Its hard to beat anybody when you turn the ball over three times. We were up 24-8 and it ended up being one of those deals where everything is going the way you had it planned and then all of a sudden the wheels come off. Theres nothing we can do about that now. While the Apaches faltered a bit down the regular seasons final stretch run, the Brahmas have been on quite a roll. Bellville is currently riding a five-game

winning streak after claiming the District 25-3A title last week with a 42-23 win over Sealy. They are very athletic and very fast, said Lock. Theyve got a lot of talent so its definitely a big challenge for us. A senior-laden squad, Bellville returned 19 lettermen (including 11 starters) from last years 11-4 state semifinalists. Operating mostly out of the Slot-T formation, the Brahmas have scored an average of 32.3 points per game this
season. Most of the damage theyve done has come via the run, where they average just over seven yards per carry and 287 yards per contest. Their leading rusher is RB Lakieath Nunn, who has run for 1,541 yards and 20 touchdowns. Hes really good, Lock said. They have several backs who are pretty good, but hes the main one. Hes the guy that you know is going to get the ball when it matters. The Brahmas will spread the carries around between their stable of backs which includes DeBrae Parker (679 yards, 9TD, 8.4 yards per carry) and Bronson
Allen (415 yards, 6 TD). Clearing the way up front are last years honorable mention All-State lineman Robert Young (6-3, 330) and All-District linemen Glenn Miles and Travis Vornkahl. Bellville has not looked to attack through the air very often this year. QB Wyatt Strieder has completed 36 of his 74 passes for 697 yards and 8 touchdowns, but he has also thrown 16 interceptions. The top receiving target is TE Jett Crider, who has caught 14 balls for 278 yards and five scores. The strength of the Bellville team is their 4-3 deAPACHES, Page B2
Lady Comanches once Area Football Previews again bumped by Burton Mustangs break eight
year playoff drought

The Nixon-Smiley Mustangs are in the playoffs for the first time in eight years as they face No. 9 Refugio at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Victoria Memorial Stadium. It has been a long time coming, Mustangs head coach Carlton McKinney said. We started this (working for an opportunity to be in the playoffs) about five years ago. The kids understand what we are trying to do every year. Nixon-Smiley had hoped for the chance to play opponent not as tough as Refugio to start its playoffs, but they are just happy to be in the postseason. We get an opportunity to play well in the playoffs and we need to make sure we play well against Refugio, McKinney said. Refugio does a lot well. The Bobcats are a multiple spread team on offense that leans on throwing the ball. Quarterback Travis Quintanilla has thrown for over 2,000 yards and is closing in on the state record for most yards passing by a high school quarterback. He is a very accurate thrower, McKinney said. They will run short and deep routes, and the receivers are good at yards after the catch. He said it will be critical for the Mustang defense to know assignments and to line up correctly. The Bobcats have run two systems on defense the split for running teams like Nixon-Smiley and a three-man front to defend against spread attacks. Key players on the defense are end Devon LaFrance and linebacker Alex Coronado. Our best defense will be a good run offense, McKinney said. We will need to run the ball efficiently. Flatonia vs Ozona It has been quite some time since the Flatonia Bulldogs football team has made the playoffs. In fact, six years since Flatonia earned extra games. We are very happy to have made the playoffs, Flatonia head coach Chris Freytag said. It has been a long struggle since we (current coaches) took over in 2010, but a lot of people have supported us and the kids believed in what we do. It has also been a result of a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Flatonia takes on Ozona at San Antonio Central Catholic at 7:30 p.m. Friday. They are very fast and very athletic, Freytag said. Both of their lines are scrappy and they play hard. On offense, Ozona runs a Wing-T style offense out of the spread offense. They do not have a convention type of spread offense, he said. Ozona is our polar opposite and you are never sure what you are going to get. Key players to watch will be running backs Tyler Galindo and Daniel Gonzalez, along with quarterback Jayton Rodriguez. We will have to stay with our keys and not be caught staring into the backfield, Freytag said. And we need to cause some turnovers. The Lions are secretive about their defense. They change their defense a lot so we are not sure what we are going to see, he said. Our offense simply has to execute what we do. Shiner vs. Santa Maria The third season for the Shiner Comanches start Friday as they play the Santa Maria Cougars in the 1ADI bi-district playoff game at Corpus Christi Calallen High School. This will be the first meeting between the two schools and will be played in an intense atmosphere near the coast.

SCHULENBURG Shiner was not Shiner on Tuesday night. The Lady Comanches volleyball team did things they do not normally do on the court in a 3-1 (2519, 27-25, 23-25, 25-19 loss to Burton in a rematch of last years regional quarterfinals match, played at Schulenburg High School. We dropped a lot of balls and we were out of position, Shiner head coach Desiree Nitsch said. We did some good things too. Shiner got the first couple of points in the opening set, getting an ace from Kristin Schacherl. Burton fought back with six straight points and then continued with a 5-1 run to go ahead, 11-4, with kills from Kyeanna Kincade and Blaire Smith. The Lady Comanches were able to close down to 20-16 with service from Sara Lauer and a kill from Tabitha Blaschke. Burton then scored five of the next eight points for the win in the first game. In the second game, the Lady Panthers broke
ahead 6-3 on a kill from Kincade and an ace from Kelsey Harmel. A kill from Julianna Rankin helped Shiner knot the game at 6-6 and plays, from Jennifer Hartl and Blaschke took the Lady Comanches to a 9-7 advantage. Burton then scored five of the next seven points to get back into the lead, 1211. Shiner came back to tie the game at 13-13 and the Lady Panthers again jumped into the lead at 17-14, following kills from Kincade and Smith. Serves from Sarah Koenning spurred Shiner to an 18-17 lead and then the teams traded leads and tied the set until Burton scored two straight from a 27-27 score line to win. In the third game, the Lady Comanches raced out to a 6-1 lead as Hartl and Amanise Coleman made blocks, and Meagan Chumchal got an ace. Burton eventually got within 9-7 but the Lady Comanches fought to maintain their advantage with eight of the next 11 points. The Lady Panthers closed down to 21-17 and Shiner got kills from Blaschke to hold Burton at bay. An ace from Lady
Panther Emma Broesche brought the teams level at 23-23 and Shiner scored two straight for the win. The Lady Comanches started the fourth set of with the advantage until Burton was able to force an 11-11 tie and eventually took a 22-17 lead. Shiner got within 22-19 and Burton completed the job with a 3-0 run. Shiner finishes Nitschs first season as coach with a 21-11 (11-1) record as district champions, area champions and regional quarterfinalists. From where we started to where we are now, we have come a long way. Right around the start of district, we were gelling as a team, she said. The Lady Comanches had six seniors play their last match Sara Lauer, Coleman, Chumchal, April Lauer, Schacherl and Rankin. The Lady Comanches had a first-round bye and swept Brackett, 25-22, 2514 and 25-23 in the area round Thursday in Pleasanton. Rankin had 13 kills, 13 digs and four aces, Schacherl had 25 assists and 13 digs, and Blaschke had nine blocks.
We need to get after it in this game because we have not played our best football the last couple of weeks, Shiner head coach Steven Cerny said. We need to switch gears and get back to playing Shiner football. The Cougars are a rundominated offense that will line up in power sets including a fullback with a double tight end or a double wing. Santa Maria will also line up in the shotgun every now and then. Running back Isai Garcia leads the Cougars on the ground with 920 yards and 12 touchdowns on 94 carries. They will use their size to move the football down the field, Cerny said. Our defense will need to play low and physical, and will have to match blow for blow. Santa Maria lines up in the 4-3 on defense and is led by Garcia (58 tackles) and Alan Gonzalez (54 tackles). We will need to use our speed to our advantage, and get Marcus Coleman, Chad Neubauer and Jacob Stafford all involved heavily in our veer attack, Cerny said. The winner will face Mason in the area round. The Punchers and Comanches are very familiar with each other, having faced off in the playoffs the last several years. Luling vs. Aransas Pass In their two losses this season, the Luling Eagles had around three or four turnovers on average. Something which cannot happen in todays bi-district game against Aransas Pass at 7:30 p.m. at Cueros Gobbler Stadium.. We must take care of the football, Luling head coach Colby Hensley said. Our offense must maintain possession because Aransas Pass offense will get three yards and be happy with it PREVIEWS, Page B2

fense, which has held opponents to an average of 18.3 points per game. The Brahmas are especially stout against the run, where they have given up 139 yards per game, and have been proficient in creating takeaways with 31 on the season (23 fumbles, 8 interceptions). Crider at linebacker is their leading tackler with 129 stops including four for losses and four forced fumbles. Other standout have been LB Angel Rodriguez (111 tck, 4 tfl), LB Tevin Crawford (101 tck, 5 sacks, 6 ff, 9 tfl), DB Zach Ward (52 tck, 7 tfl), DT Dylan Jackson (6 sacks, 13 tfl) and DE Michael Scyrus
(6 sacks, 11 tfl). The Apaches have relied on their ability to run the ball all the season and average just over 260 rushing yards per game, however that philosophy could play right into the strength of Bellvilles defense. In order to prevent that Lock said he plans on being more creative with the play selection this week and will open up the playbook more. Its a playoff game so youre going to have to find mismatches, he said. Were going to be doing some things differently in terms of formations. Itll be some stuff we havent shown all year so hopefully it will be a good thing for us.
in their ground-and-pound game. We just cannot give them extra possessions so they can take time off the clock. The Panthers are Slot-T team that will throw in a little bit of spread formations. Hensley said quarterback Victor Gonzalez is what makes the offense go and running back Kiki Hill is the best player on the squad. He will play both wide and in the backfield and is a good free safety, he said. Other players that will make an impact on the offense will be fullback Aaron Jongema and tailback Lalo Morales. Jogema is a tough runner and Morales does well shifting, Hensley said. Our defense will need to read our keys, be in the correct spot and do not get fooled by all of the misdirection. Aransas Pass has been in the split formation on defense. Jongema is a good at the middle linebacker spot and tackle Steven Vela is real tough and physical, and Lulings offensive line has to make sure Vela is
blocked. Hallettsville vs Lago Vista Hallettvilles bi-district game against Lago Vista is being considered to have the appearance of a semifinal contest instead of a first-round meeting. They are a strong team, having beaten both Refugio and Cameron Yoe, Hallettsville head coach Tommy Psencik said. Lago Vista could easily be in the top three in 2A. On offense, Lago Vista goes with a combination of Wing-T and Slot-T. Their offensive linemen are strong and quick, he said. The Vikings primary ball carriers are running backs Scott Zufelt (721 yards, 5.4 average), Dawson Hernandez (600 yards, 7.0) and Colby Schwartz (405 yards, 8.0). We will have to keep our pad levels low and be aggressive up front, Psencik said. We must prevent big pass plays. The Vikings run a 3-4 on defense and like to stunt and slant a lot. Schartwtz, at end, is the main player on Lago Vistas defense. We need to take care of the football, complete pass-
es, get second blocks and our offensive line must be quicker on protecting the quarterback, Psencik said. Yoakum vs Wharton The Yoakum Bulldogs faced a challenge last week to make it into the playoffs and successfully overcame it with a win over Giddings. It was an exciting time because our kids faced some adversity to make the playoffs, Yoakum head coach Brent Kornegay said. The Dogs face Wharton in the bi-district round this Friday in Sealy. If the name Wharton is familiar to Yoakum fans, that is because it was the same opponent they saw last year in the same round, with the Tigers winning a shootout 48-34. Speed wise, they are similar to Giddings, Kornegay said. They have some talented backs and the quarterback is an effective runner but not quite the runner as the quarterback from last year. The defense is younger with some new faces but still solid. Overall, there are a lot of similarities to 2012 team. On offense, the Tigers are a spread team with

both two back and oneback sets. Kornegay said Yoakums defense will need to contain the Wharton skilled players. Running back Dontre Elliot has 619 yards rushing on the season and Toney Rogers has ran for 848 yards. Quarterback Joseph Krenek has thrown for over 1,000 yards with Leeshad ONeal (30-392, three touchdowns) and Dontey Bell (22-407, four touchdowns) the leading receivers. Wharton will line up in the 50 on defense with key players lineman Isaiah Lynch, linebacker Kemaad Jones and defensive back Taylor Skinner. Our offense will have to have solid execution, like we did against Giddings, but eliminate the crazy things that happened in the Giddings game, he said. We moved the ball well but had some penalties. Sacred Heart vs League City Bay Area Christian The Hallettsville Sacred Heart Indians have been to the playoffs every year since 1987 and they found out last weekend that the streak will continue. It was a pleasure to find that out, Sacred Heart head coach Pat Henke said. That was a burst of energy. I gave the team the postseason speech at the St. Paul game last Friday and we have been given a new lease on life that we must take advantage of. They will face District 6 champions, League City Bay Area Christian. They have a lot of talent and a lot of speed, Henke said. League City Bay Area Christian lines up in a spread offense.

Cards salvage season with win over Sacred Heart

SHINER It has been a tough year for Shiner St. Paul football in 2013. But the struggles and pain were forgotten in one night as St. Paul beat its next door neighbors from Hallettsville, the Sacred Heart Indians, 25-16, Friday night at Comanche Field. These kids have been fighting for the last few weeks. They kept hanging in there, St. Paul head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. Obviously for the two seniors, Travis Raabe and Ben Janecek, they will forget all of the other stuff and remember tonight because this is a huge game. For our younger guys, it is a great way to look ahead. Cardinals running back T.J. Bell did not torch the defense for 400 yards, but still was the leading rusher with 113 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Austin Barton executed the Cardinals passing game as he was 8-of-12 for 160 yards and one touchdown. A couple of times in the fourth quarter, Sacred Heart looked poised to score but St. Pauls defense came up with crucial turnovers. Earlier in the year, we were not getting turnovers, Wachsmuth said. Tonight,
we just found a way to get those turnovers. Sacred Heart would drive the ball and we would find a way to come up away with a turnover. He said he was confident and had faith St. Paul would get the result, and start things off for next year on the right path. I told the kids Monday I believe we would find a way to win and we did. I did not know how we would do it. It was weird how we did do it, Wachsmuth said. Ending football season on this kind of high will carry over into the rest of the school year. We are not freshman and sophomores anymore. We have grown up and the bad stuff will go away because we won our last two games. Consistency is something that St. Paul has been working really hard towards the last few games. It was better. We had that early turnover and had some offensive penalties, but overall it was improved, Wachsmuth said. Tonight was another step. It was a rough game for Sacred Heart with ball security and health issues. Head coach Pat Henke said starting running back Jonathan Vanek did not practice during the week because of an injury to his calf. He played on Sacred Hearts first three plays but was subbed out
for Dylan Jahn and Tyler Kraatz. Evan Wick also did not play. The game was an epitome of the season for the Indians. We were up and down and never got on a roll, Henke said. We lost on the last play to Yorktown. We go to Flatonia, and get three or four of our best players hurt. We then win two in a row and lose our district opener. That first district loss was a disappointment and I think we never recovered. After stopping a nearly seven-minute St. Paul drive early in the fourth quarter, Sacred Heart drove from its 10 to St. Pauls 15. Kraatz took a pitch on the Marco Ynclan attempts to bring down Dylan Jahn of Sacred Heart during St. first play and ran 22 yards Pauls 25-16 victory last Friday.

Jahn then tried to power his way on a naked bootleg for 10 to the St. Paul 9 and Jahn a six-play, 54-yard drive to the inside to four straight more yards to the 17 and scored two plays later. He lead 12-8.

Football Roundup Smithville stuns Gonzales in regular season finale Yoakum beats Giddings
From coaches reports GIDDINGS In a must-win situation for the playoffs, the Yoakum Bulldogs stepped up and got the win, holding off the Buffaloes 42-24. The Dogs scored twice in the opening quarter on a 25-yard run by TreVontae Hights and a 14-yard run by Terrence Hall. Giddings fought back in the second box with a 1-yard run by Justin Herzog, a 37-yard field goal by Ivan Reyes and a 24-yard pass from Kyle Jones. The third quarter belonged to Yoakum with touchdown runs of 4 and 3 yards from T.J. Hights. He scored again on a 2-yard run in the fourth quarter.

GONZALES With a playoff spot already clinched, losing their regular season finale was definitely not the way the Apaches envisioned beginning their postseason run. The Smithville Tigers took advantage of three Gonzales turnovers and parlayed them into a 28-24 victory to garner their first and only win of the season. We lacked focus and we didnt tackle, said Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock. We made mistakes that we should not be making and were looking for answers. Its disappointing. Neither team took advantage early on and the game was a scoreless tie before the Apaches embarked on a seven-play drive that culminated in a two-yard plunge by Ramirez. The Tigers took possession at their own 20 and pushed the ball all the way out to near midfield before Darrance James made an incredible one-handed snag for an interception to give Gonzales the ball facing first down at midfield. Gonzales had the ball to start off the second half
Apache Player of the Week

Alyas Ramirez Quarterback
Once again, the sophomore was impressive in a losing effort for the Apaches. Ramirez led all rushers with a game-high 132 yards and two touchdowns. He completed five of his 14 passes for 84 yards for a score and also caught a twopoint conversion pass from Brant Philippus.
and Ramirez raced 48 yards around the left end to change the score to 16-8 in favor of the Apaches. The ensuing drive ended with a four and out with J.T. Miller making an interception at the Smithville 35. Gonzales only needed five plays to see Ramirez dancing into the end zone from 27 yards out for a 24-8 lead. The teams traded several
punts before Lane Sanders hauled in an 18-yard touchdown pass. The next score, an eight-yard scamper by Garrett Mathis, was followed with an incomplete pass on the two-point conversion to take the Apache lead down to 24-20. Five plays later, McCathern hauled in a 26-yard pass to account for the final score.

THRALL It is pretty well-known Flatonia has a running-back-by-committee. Not so for the seasonending 47-7 thrashing of Thrall on Friday. In that game, the Bulldogs had two committees as eleven different players contributed to the 291 team rushing yards. They were led by Joseph Williams, who gained 63 yards on just four carries and scored one touchdown. Aaron Manzano, Marcus Mica, Eddie Manzano and Cesar Castillo also added one touchdown each as Flatonia scored early and often, leading 21-7 at halftime and 35-7 at the end of the third quarter.

Basketball Roundup Seniors, Freshman White advance to Super Bowls Lady Mustangs open hoops season with split
By MARK LUBE
GONZALES Defense wins championships and gets you to championship games, as two Gonzales youth football teams found out on Saturday. The Gonzales Apaches Cross Roads Youth Football League (CYFL) senior team and the freshman White team will play in their respective CYFL Super Bowls this Saturday in Cuero after semifinal wins over Victoria Red and Calhoun Gold, respectively,last Saturday at Apache Field. The senior Black team got two straight turnovers in the second half and had to buckle down to stop a potential game-winning two-point conversion play to beat Victoria Red, 13-12. Ahead 13-6 at halftime, Gonzales fumbled the second-half kickoff to set up Victoria Red at the Gonzales 46. Victoria Red got a couple of good gains before Gonzales Marvin Cardoza tackled the Red quarterback in the backfield. A few plays later, Chris Camarillo recovered a loose ball for Gonzales but the offense ran four plays and gave the ball to Red on the Gonzales 24. Red ran about 10 offensive plays before fumbling the ball again and Gonzales Devon Banda had the fumble recovery at the Apache 16. Like the previous drive, the current drive ended with Red taking over on downs. Red drove 33 yards in four plays and scored a touchdown but was stuffed on the two-point conversion play. Red took the opening kickoff to its 45 but went nowhere as Gonzales made the plays defensively led by Camarillo, Mason Richter and Eduardo Izaguirre. Heath Henke dropped the Red ball carrier for a loss on fourth down to end the drive. It took Gonzales two plays to go 47 yards Izaguirre gained 4 on an end-around and Richter hauled in a 43-yard pass from quarterback Cardoza. Henke ran in the one-point conversion for a 7-0 Gonzales lead. Red then drove 55 yards for a quick score; the extrapoint play was no good,

Glass, along with teammates Mireia Gaurner and Haley Sparks, earned regional honors as they led the West Texas A & M Lady Buffs cross country team to a third-place finish at the 2013 NCAA Division II South Central United States regional championship on Saturday in Canyon. The trio earned All-Region honors by finishing in the Top 25 overall in the race. Fresh off their second straight Lone Star Conference championship, the Lady Buffs will try to make it two top six finishes in a row to qualify for the na-
tional championships. Gaurner finished in No. 15 time of 22:02, Glass was No. 22 in 22:17 and was followed by Sparks (22:18). Amber Moore was No. 27 in 22:27, Emma Love was No. 32 in 22:35 and Michela Johnson was No. 55 with a time of 23:01. The Lady Buffs scored 119 points while Adams State took first with 28 points and Western State coming as runners-up with 62 points.

PREVIEWS: Gobblers will next take on Columbus

Quarterback Clayton Webb has thrown for 1,303 yards, 15 touchdowns and four interceptions on 77of-127 passing. Receivers Tyler Neubauer (16-369) and Joshua Shelmire (17378) have six touchdown receptions each. We have to stop the passing game or by keeping the completions underneath and for short gains, Henke said. Running back Jake Smith has 96 carries for 490 yards and eight touchdowns to pace the Broncos running game. Our offense has to be able to control the clock, Henke said. There is some bad news and some good news in the injury department for Sacred Heart. Running back Jonathan Vanek will not play because of a leg injury. He played a little in the opening quarter of last weeks game at St. Paul but came out and did not play another snap. However, Evan Wick could be back on the field after
not playing against the Cardinals. Henke said Wick is the leading tackler and best receiver, and his return would be a boost for Sacred Heart. Cuero vs Columbus The Cuero Gobblers play the Columbus Cardinals to open the playoffs at 7:30 p.m. Friday in El Campo. Quarterback Tyson Simcik is the leader for the Cardinal offense. He has completed 45-of-100 passes for 997 yards, 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Simcik has run for 208 yards and eight touchdowns. Detriyon Carter has the most Columbus rushing yardage with 709 yards on 134 attempts and has scored four touchdowns. Simciks leading target in the passing game is Royce Caldwell, who has snagged 10 catches for 353 yards and five touchdowns. Key players on the defense are safety Derek Hayes, end Caelan Neuendorff, safety Eugene Shorter and linebacker Blake Pflughaupt.

GONZALES At first, the Gonzales Lady Apaches basketball team was a little shocked at the new systems brought in by new head coach Valerie Akpan, but apparently Gonzales has players that are quick learners. There was shock at first but they have caught on quickly, Akpan said I have seen huge improvements (since practice started) on speed and the accuracy of their passes and shots. They are also full of excitement. Akpan has five returning players and two starters from last year. The team will have four seniors on it Kelsey Hardy, Renae Camarillo, Ashli Malatek and Tajerrica Smith. We have experience in that we have several upper-
classmen, Akpan said. The other players on the roster are juniors Jordan Pitman and Danielle Flowers, and sophomore Ericka Hernandez. Akpan said her offense would be one of continuity and the Lady Apaches will run a man-to-man on the defensive side of the ball. We are going to be in shape and run the floor, she said. The Lady Apaches are strong on the offensive side. We have some really good shooters and the whole team plays well together, she said. Used to running a zone system on defense, the team has had to get used to playing man-to-man. We are working a lot on defense because they are used to a different system and the one I am running is new, Akpan said.
The Lady Apaches players will not be limited to playing just one position on the floor. We will cater our offense to the opposing teams defense to create mismatches, Akpan said. According to Akpan, Hardy is a good leader, good ball handler, is confident and a consistent shooter. Camarillo is the top shooter, plays defense well and is real fast. Malatek is a versatile player, able to play the wing or the post and is quick with the ball. Smith can literally play every position on the floor, and is a good shooter and ball handler. New to the program, Pitman is an asset to the team with smarts and good defensive posture Hernandez is a strong player who shoots well and plays defense well, and brings
good energy and is considered the teams cheerleader. Flowers has good ball skills along with confidence and varsity experience. The Lady Apaches will have some challenges early in the season with some 4A teams in Taylor, Austin Crockett and Lockhart. They will also face Johnson City, Columbus, Beeville, Goliad and Nixon in nondistrict games. Gonzales hosts a tournament on November 21-23, and will play in the Canyon Lake and Weimar tournaments. With several teams having new coaches this year, Akpan said she feels the district could be anyones this year. We have a good shot at being one of the four teams that makes the playoffs, she said.

Pitch in to help out victim of tragic local house fire

I have been asked to put this announcement in my column as maybe more of you will read it than if it is just run as an announcement in the paper. I am happy to do this to help Dorothy Svoboda who is fighting to recover in BMAC. She incurred serious burns to her lungs and respiratory system and also has some third degree burns on her legs. She is incurring medical expenses every day. Her husband lost his life in the fire and their home and its contents burned to the ground. There has been an account set up at Wells Fargo Bank in Gonzales in Dorothy Svobodas name. You can mail it to Wells Fargo, 301 St. Joseph, Gonzales, TX 78629 and indicate it is a donation for her. Any amount will help. Several people have put out jars at their place of business and then took the jars to the bank. If you have any further questions, the number at the bank is 830-672-2851. 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--Choices of a meat or a vegetable, 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.

Fred Martin Our sympathy truly goes out to the family of Rev. Fred Martin. When you have preached far and wide in the First United Methodist Church, you make close friends all over the place. Janice made a wonderful home for Fred as a pastors wife, and was exuberant with her friendships, yet so very protective of Fred in the last days because she did not want him to overdo. We
send his family our deepest prayers. The typhoon survivors need our prayers and our thoughts. The amount of water that swept the over the island and on the coast of Viet Nam was truly unbelievable. It broke all kinds of records. We could have done without breaking any records. Lola and Wade Wilson had a surprise visit from Jess and Angie Wilson and their family. Chloe had a basketball game in Nixon so since they were that close they came for a visit. I hear that Chloe is growing up to be a beautiful young lady. And the two younger boys are just active little boys. It doesnt seem possible that the youngest one is already over two years old. I thought that it was rather interesting that right before the flood there was a report of a mountain lion being seen over in Palmetto Park. Also interesting was the fact that they had a camper there all the way from Moscow, Russia. Then the San Marcos River and its rising flood waters covered the whole park and it got just about as high as it had ever been. So there is not much telling where the mountain lion went. Mary Ann Towns and Mary Caroline Persons made their way through the pecan orchard down to visit Paul Allen Jr. this last week. Since Mary Ann is feeling better she is running around all over the place. We are so happy that Mary Ann is back to her old self again. Then we have people just getting married all over the place. Tel Lindemann and his sweetie, Jinna, were married over at the Monthalia United Methodist Church on Saturday night. Rhon-
da and Mike Mercers son Marshal married Kayla in a small wedding ceremony on Saturday night. We are soon to have a wedding for the offspring of the late Donald and Corky Springs. Congratulations to everyone. Well we have got our
weather change and it has brought with it some blustery winds. Samson just does not like the rustling leaves. He thinks that they are out to get him. He has done some serious talking to me about the outside world today. Now this is one animal
that has thick plush hair. It shines and glistens so much that you can almost use it for a mirror. Twerpt just takes it all in stride. She is so old that she has just about seen it all and/or done that. Have a good week. God Bless.

Hospital Auxiliary News

The Auxiliary of Memorial Hospital met Tuesday, October 29 in the Dining Room with 14 members present and two guests, Hospital Administrator Chuck Norris and Sascha Kardosz of Administrative Services. Attendance prizes were won by Kathleen Caddell, Kennon Brunkehoefer and Betty Neubauer . Mr. Norris reported on developing plans for expansion in the Memorial Healthcare Systems. The expansion is made possible by tax revenue and the State Program matching each local $1 with $2. This would cost approximately $40 million and would add 18 patient rooms with bathrooms, family member sleep chairs, a new office building, wellness center, additional operating room space, emergency care space, an outdoor exercise area, doctors offices and new out-patient area and registry area in the E.R. He also reported there will be each week, five halfday doctors office hours for the Waelder Clinic. On November 22, there will be a Heath Fair with free testing services except for blood lipid test which costs $35. The Hospital Gala and fundraiser is planned for May 4, 2014, to be held at the Gonzales Museum grounds. Two hundred and fiftysix volunteer hours were worked in September and 100 Hour Bars were earned by Betty Neubauer (her total is 607 hours), Bernice Heldarson (her total is 705 hours) and Dorothy Klapuch (her is 2,810 hours). The downtown storage closet was cleaned and rearranged by Barbara Koricanek, Lois Willmann and Carol DuBose. A special thank you to these ladies. On November 22nd at the Health Fair we will represent the Auxiliary, volunteers will be Robert and Elizabeth Bennett, Dyna DuBose, Bernice Heldarson, Betty Neubauer, Irene Oakes and Barbara Koricanek.
