Work is proceeding 24 hours a day on the new 24-hour Walmart location in Gonzales, and store manager Adan Davila says he and his crew are excited about the new and expanded features the retail giant will be offering to local shoppers. It has expanded by a lot, said Davila of the store, which will move from its current location to 1114 Sarah DeWitt, roughly tripling the size of the facility to nearly 124,000
square feet in the process. The tentative opening date is Oct. 23. The amount of space available for shoppers is actually comparable to most of the companys larger supercenters, he said, because the store design did not incorporate additional in-store vendors (such as a bank or money center). There will be a full Subway restraurant inside. Without all that up front, we will have what I think is a much WALMART, Page A7

museum and some additional work to help prevent water from collecting underneath the historic structure. The museum, which originally opened in 1936, has never had an extreal cleaning. Its been neglected too long, said Councilman Tommy Schurig in introducing a motion to give Barnes authority to work out a deal with Mid-Continent Restoration, an experienced firm currently involved in other projects in the Gonzales area. I believe the time is right for restoration.
Barnes told the Council hed already been in contact with MidContinent respresentatives about the task and had been pleasantly surprised with their initial estimate of the cost of the project.
You couldve knocked me over with a feather when it (estimate) came in at $44,000, he said. Barnes will negotiate a formal agreement with Mid-Content as GONZALES, Page A7

Praise the Lord for the rain; quilters get ready for Leesville Country Fair
The farmers and ranchers are praising the Lord for this wonderful rain. We have not had a rain like this in a very long time. We had wonderful lightning and thunder displays but most of all we had several days of showers where every drop soaked into the ground and then we had some hard rain that filled some tanks with some needed water. We got 4 2/10ths. A close neighbor got 3 9/10ths. Lola and Wade Wilson over toward Leesville got 3 8/10ths . Paw Paw Allen got right at five inches with the last rain. Those around Cost got around 3-4 inches. We had to go get a few groceries and went down FM 466. The culverts had not been cleaned out and it made lakes in the pastures, and put all kinds of debris in the bar ditch and a little on the highway. There was water standing under the pecan trees in the Denman Farm. Bishops Lake had caught a lot of water and the tank by the road a little further up, did too. Everything was clean and sparkling. The birds were flying around checking their newly grown vegetation out. I think that the vegetation grew an inch overnight. September has five Sundays so Belmont United Methodist Church has their Breakfast before their singing service. So come and join them in the newly renovated Belmont Community Center for breakfast. Then go into the church and make a joyful noise unto the Lord. At Monthalia United Methodist Church there will be Witnessing and Singing for the 5th Sunday Service. Also at Monthalia on October 7th the Womens Bible Study group will meet at the Parsonage, starting at 6 pm. At the same time that is going on the men will be having the Mens Brotherhood at the Monthalia Parish Hall starting at 7PM. October 9th is the Church Conference starting at 6pm at the Belmont Community Center. This is for the churches in the Victoria District.

need to thank God for His Miracle. Last week you may have seen a motor cycle accident highlighted on TV in San Antonio that occurred at IH 10 and IH 410. The cyclist left no skid marks and hit the concrete embankment. That was Brock. A miracle happened. He cracked his skull but there has been no swelling. His pelvis was broken but that was fixed by pins and plates. He had broken vertebrae but they were broken to the outside and not to the inside where it endangered the spinal cord. He did have some fluid on the inside that they had to remove, but very little. Thank you God for taking care of Brock when he needed you the most and help him recover fully. He was talking and sitting up as of Sunday and this happened on Thursday. Many of you have asked about L. A. Lindemann, Jr. He is taking chemo and has some side effects and nausea. His immune system is very low now and he does not need to have visitors. However, he would love to have your cards and a few calls. He will take all the prayers that we can send. Oh Samson has not ridden in the truck he got his first shots. That suspicious cat is not a traveling cat. Now every time that cat hears that truck start up, under the bed he goes. PePe thought he was sort of crazy at first, but now is playing copycat. I guess if PePe thinks Samson is doing it, that maybe the old cat knows something that he doesnt know. PePe is somewhat confused as to what is supposed to be afraid of at this point. You can see his brain cells working, but they just cant quite get there. Have a good time at Come and Take It. God Bless.

(Photo by Cedric Iglehart) in the fields. As kids they would walk five miles to church if the Model T did not start. Drafted at 18, Dan breezed through basic training including infantry, artillery and armor. Arriving in England in 1944 he became part of Operation Overlord; landing on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France. In England they lived in tents when not training. On June 6, 1944, dubbed The Longest Day by German Field Marshall Rommel, Dan and his companions left their landing craft with heavy back packs in hip deep water and tried to reach shore. Both US and German airplanes were overhead. German shore batteries raked the beach with field guns (88s) and burp guns spewing 1150 slugs/ minute, that could cut a man in half. On the beach, anti-personnel mines had to be located and disarmed before moving forward. G.I.s dropped all around him, but somehow Dan crossed the beach safely with others advancing towards a German pillbox they finally silenced. Stopping to regroup, they moved inland as the beach became a horrible killing field. To get a tank operating, Dan was transferring gasoline from a truck when fumes ignited, immediately burning his hands. Medics wrapped his hands but he could not fight, so he rode a plane back to England due to lack of sufficient care aboard ship. They encountered a channel storm, lost an engine, but finally safely landed. It would take a month of his hands in casts, swelling, removing casts, and over again until he was given white gloves and released somewhat prematurely for battle. Combat was so intense that after three days, G.I.s could sleep standing upright. As a machine gun team member, Dan learned to swiftly relocate after firing at the enemy, or mortar rounds would quickly find them.

rific hedgerows were behind them. Paris was captured by the Germans in June of 40, and Hitler ordered it defended, but a German general withdrew instead. General Pattons front line visits were commonplace. Dan remembers when Pattons three manned jeeps with machine guns arrived single file. Pattons three stars were shining on the second jeep that was usually covered with mud, and so was the general. He always asked, what kind of smokes do you want? We will send a field kitchen soon, what would you like? George always kept his word the next day, when possible. The liberal American media was never kind to General George, portraying him as having a wealthy patrician heritagebut Dans buddies loved him. No other three star US General visited the front lines in the European Theatre of war. Dan became assistant driver and loader of a Sherman tanks cannon. Often it took three Sherman tanks to destroy a German Tiger tank, unless it carelessly showed its rear end. But with bigger 90mm cannons, Shermans vastly improved their average. Familiarity with them helped Dan in repairing damaged Sherman treads, even in pitch darkness. The carnage of Omaha Beach was so horrific there were early thoughts of withdrawing, but by the end of day one the beachhead was establishedbecause sufficient troops were landed to secure it. The German high command failed to counter-attack with armor in time to stop the allies on the beaches, just as Rommel had warned earlier and the final outcome pointed towards the defeat of European Axis powers.

Our ancestors were brave men; are we?

As we head into the annual Come and Take It Celebration this weekend. I have one wish: that we never forget what this celebration is all about. Its great to have thousands of visitors to town. Its great to enjoy all the unique vendors and shop their wares. Its wonderful to have so many great music acts playing, and to be able to enjoy so many fun events. But let us never forget that this celebration is all about recognizing a small band of people who decided they would endure no more intrusion on their God-given rights, who took a stand on principle rather than practicality, who dared spit in the eye of a would-be dictator and tell him: Come and Take It. Put yourself in the minds of those men who advanced across that foggy field in the pre-dawn hours of Oct. 2, 1835 and ask yourself if we would have the same kind of courage? Remember that at the time, Texas was sparsely-settled by various collections of colonists and Native American tribes, the most important being the Comanche, Kiowa and Cherokee. There were the Tejanos, originally colonists from the Canary Islands brought in by the Spanish government of the previous century. Then there were the

Take action locally to prevent unfettered tyranny nationally

While the media has been focused on D.C. and Texas Senator Ted Cruz fight to defund ObamaCare, conservative Texans should not forget the local issues and elections. They may not be as exciting and sexy as the national stage, but they just as important if not more so. For example, in Progresso, an indictment has been unsealed against Jose Guadalupe Lupe Vela, the maintenance director for Progreso ISD, and his sons, Progreso Mayor Omar Leonel Vela and Progreso school board President Michael Mikey Vela. The three men, all holding elected positions, have been indicted on 10 federal counts of bribery and corruption. In Starr County, a jury found that county attorney Victor Canales must pay Hilda Gonzalez Garza, a former assistant county attorney, $1.5 million for violating her First Amendment rights by firing her after she declared her intention to run for school board against her then-boss political allies, a federal jury ruled Tuesday. The jury ruled that Garzas intention to run for the Rio GrandeCity school board was a substantial or motivating factor in county attorney
more newly-arrived Anglo-American colonists brought in by empresarios like Stephen F. Austin and (in the case of Gonzales) Green DeWitt. The colonists had sworn allegiance to the federal government of Mexico under the Constitution of 1824, and even in October of 1835, most of them still called themselves loyal citizens of Mexico. The town of Gonzales had, in fact, declared in a letter its allegiance to the centralist government of Santa Anna only a short time before the outbreak of hostilities. But there are times when the best of intentions, the most hopeful wishes, mean nothing when measured against greed, arrogance and power lust. When Santa Anna began dismantling the Constitution of 1824, many Texians became alarmed. Some believed that Texas would best be served by seeking admission to the United States in-
stead William Barrett Travis was among these, and he and others took part in the Anahuac Disturbances, refusing to pay customs duties, in 1832 and earlier in 1835. Texas was not the only Mexican territory to see unrest over Santa Annas attempts to centralize rather than federalize government power: active revolts cropped up in several other Mexican states, and in early 1835 Santa Anna brutally repressed an active rebellion in Zacatecas. The latter event in particular served to alarm the discontents in Texas. On Sept. 10, 1835, a Mexican soldier savagely attacked a Gonzales colonist, provoking outrage. A few days later, Colonel Domingo de Ugartechea, commander of all Mexican troops in Texas, sent a corporal and five enlisted men to retrieve the cannon that had been given to the colonists. The residents of Gonzales, concerned this action signaled an intent by the centralist government to disarm and possibly expel them, refused and escorted the small detachment from town. Ugartechea then sent a company of 100 dragoons (mounted infantry) to retrieve the gun, possibly not even knowing that the sixpounder bronze piece was virtually useless and, in the view of one historian, little good for anything other than starting horse races.
After putting the detachment off for two days while reinforcements arrived, a force of 180 Texians gathered on the evening of Oct. 1, 1835, and prepared to attack the Mexican force. While many of the colonists had some military experience James Niell, for example, had served in the War of 1812 most were simple farmers or tradesmen. Much of the Mexican garrison in Texas were conscripts and convicts, but the main army led by Santa Anna was the largest and besttrained professional military force in North America at the time. The idea of a few hundred un-drilled, semi-skilled partisans taking on the premiere army in this part of the world has to be viewed as foolhardy at best. Many of these pioneer Texians who advanced through the fog toward the dragoons of Lieutenant Francisco de Castaneda understood the long odds and did it anyway. Like their forebears a halfcentury before at Lexington and Concord, they knew their chances of winning were slim, but principle demanded they make their stand. One hundred seventy-nine years later, Texas is a different place. Compared to the Gonzales of 1835, even many of our poorest citizens live in comfort. We dont have
to worry about Indian attacks these days, but we do have to be concerned about the drug lords of Mexico because, like those early settlers, a would-be dictator has decided to punish us by not adhering to the Constitution we agreed to abide under. Colonists in 1835 rightly feared that a tyrant wanted to strip them of their right to defend themselves. The U.S. Secretary of State just signed a United Nations treaty which, if confirmed by the Senate, would severely limit the sale of small arms and ammunition and give Washington a pretext to openly attempt disarming us despite a Constitutional guarantee to the contrary. The Texians who rebelled against Santa Anna did so because the guarantees which had been set forth in the Constitution of 1824 were being systematically stripped away. This week, citizens across Texas became slaves to a federal law which mandates they participate in a government-run healthcare system despite the fact the U.S. Constitution clearly denies Congress any authority not specifically spelled out in that Constitution. Our ancestors were very brave men. Are we?

2013
Victor Canales decision to terminate Garza about 14 months ago, court records state. In El Paso, there have been a series of scandals and indictments regarding school district officials. Again, these were elected and appointed officials who were out of control. The U.S. Constitution is written from a citizen-first point of view which means, as the late House Leader Tip ONeil once said, All politics are local. Political power must originate with the citizen at the local level flow upward to the local, county, state, and federal governments. But what happens if the citizen is not engaged or exercising his/her leadership and will? What happens if there is a vacuum in the involvement of citizens? When that happens, institutions and interests fill the void. When the citizen in not involved, then self-serving political, economic, and social interests take control of the decision-making. One of the biggest criticisms citizen taxpayer groups has against local, state and federal governments is how big money special-interests influence and dominate the decision making process. Just like an individual citizen acts on behalf of their self interest, a large organized interest will do likewise. Once entrenched, that interest will be very difficult to challenge or remove. In Texas we have had political bosses and families, and big money interests that have influenced local and state government. They range from large interests like the Chamber of Commerce or the teachers unions, or bosses and families who control local affairs. The answer to this problem is simple the citizens must be informed and act. The powers of the Constitution are in the hands of citizens and they should remember that the defense of the Constitution begins in their back yard. ObamaCare, Benghazi, out-of control government, and all other problems and issues that conservatives complain about could have been prevented if conservatives (real conservatives who listen and respond to the will of the people) would have been elected early at the local level. Despots and dictators oppose the idea of a citizen-centered government because it is too difficult to control. For them, it is easier and better to tell people what to do, than to do their will. We should all become informed and active citizens to defeat local, state, and national tyranny.
Gun control is impossible

The Navy Yard massacre wont revive the gun debate in Congress for a simple reason: There is no gun-control agenda this side of a total ban and confiscation that would have stopped Aaron Alexis. The Toomey-Manchin bill could have passed Congress unanimously. The assault-weapons ban could still be in place. Gun-controllers could have achieved their long-ago goal of barring the private purchase of handguns. And every step of his mayhem at the Washington Navy Yard would have been unimpeded. The media rushed, based on erroneous reports from law enforcement, to place in his hands an AR-15, the popular rifle that has been used in mass shootings before and that an assault-weapons ban would prohibit. The front page of the New York Daily News blared Same gun, different slay. The newspapers columnist Mike Lupica worked himself into lathers of dudgeon over the offending gun. They call semiautomatics like this sports rifles, he fumed. You bet. Mostly for the sport of killing innocent people, and killing them fast. But according to law enforcement, Alexis used a shotgun, a weapon, as

it happens, that has been endorsed and promoted by the vice president of the United States. At a Facebook town hall earlier in the year, Joe Biden urged a mother concerned about safety: Buy a shotgun, buy a shotgun. This may be fine advice, but there should be no mistake: Shotguns are dangerous. When it comes to the sport of killing innocent people, almost any gun will do, especially if it is in a permissive environment where no one else is likely to be armed. This makes a hash of the conceit that the government can ban a few select guns and make shooting rampages less likely. Other common panaceas would have had no effect, either. Alexis bought his shotgun from a duly-licensed dealer, not at a gun show. He passed a federal background check with no problem. He didnt have a highcapacity magazine. He reportedly got the handgun or handguns he also may have used in the attack after shooting a
security officer. So the Navy Yard rampage demonstrates the essential sterility of the gun-control debate. It is true that James Holmes and Adam Lanza used AR-15s. But Seung-Hui Cho and Jared Loughner used 9 mm semiautomatic pistols. And Aaron Alexis used a shotgun. The common theme is that they were all deeply disturbed young men whose acts of murder had a sickening aspect of utter senselessness. The Daily News got it backward. Its headline should have read Different gun, same slay. Maybe this time we can have a real debate about mental illness. When Aaron Alexis called the Rhode Island police a month ago to tell them that enemies were harassing him with a microwave machine, it was clear that he was suffering paranoid delusions and needed help. But the authorities let him go his merry way, evidently to sink deeper into the madness he mistook for reality. It needs to be easier to compel treatment for the mentally ill. There will be another Aaron Alexis. If we cant predict what gun hell use, we already know his mental state. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. (c) 2013 by King Features Synd., Inc.
In Your View
Journalism is the ability to meet the challenge of filling space. Rebecca West Some say or at least I say so that laziness is a dish best served delivered. And since 20 and 07 when I bid adieu to the workforce I have become quite adept at idleness. As in doing a nuthin . Man, am I a pro at doin a nuthin . Believe me; the laid-back lifestyle of retirement suits me to a T. So I relish idle time. And some time back while kicking back at Pavlas Tavern in beautiful downtown Moulton the spry little lady behind the bar queried me, If you had to do it over, would you do anything different? Behind the bar and in front of the bar back was Vlasta Pavlas. A petite lady with grinning eyes. I replied to her query, Rather than putting words on paper I probably should have been a personal injury lawyer or con artist, though the two are basically the same. Apparently Vlasta never considered doing anything different. Shes a spirited gal of 87 years old. She and her late husband, George, purchased the tavern in February of 19 and 59. Thats 54 years ago and quite a spell to hear the spiel of the sippers thatve been seated on the stools and seats inside (top that for alliteration). At times, Vlasta brings to my little mind a scene from the old Mary Tyler Moore television show. Where Lou Grant tells Mary Richards, Mary, youve got spunk. And Mary beams and says, Why thank you, Mr. Grant. Lou replies, I hate spunk. You see, Vlasta is a feisty little heifer. I tell her on occasion, I hate feisty. Now Vlasta and I have been known to enjoy friendly banter. She takes my comments in stride. But shell get in the last word by dishing a snide remark right back at me. If things appear to be about to get out of hand in the establishment for thirst she merely points a finger for crowd control. And things settle down. I suspect over the five plus decades shes tended to her busyness shes heard more stories than I ever wrote. One never knows what ones lot in life will be. Prior to embracing the busyness of the newspaper business I held a slew of jobs. Mostly mundane. Drew pay for delivering bread, repossessing cars

A lesson from history for Texas school reform

Most Texans remember October 2nd for the 1835 skirmish of the 150 Texans of Gonzales with the 100 Mexican troops sent to retrieve a cannon they used for public defense. The settlers famous Come and Take It flag gained fame as a message of defiance to Santa Annas gun confiscation effort. These first Texans demonstrated characteristic mettle in resisting governmental decrees that violated their personal freedom and federated independence. As fate would have it, October 2nd has proven to be another famous date in Texas history. On this day in 1989, the Texas Supreme Court decision ruled 9-0 in the Edgewood ISD vs. Kirby case that the school financing system of the time was unconstitutional and in need of revision by the state legislature. Since that decision, Texas politics and courtrooms have been dominated by school funding challenges, and the secondary but related issue of testing assessments, with nearly no one satisfied as to how various solutions have played out. Even today, a case filed by rich and poor school districts is being decided in a state district court and ultimately will work its way to the Texas Supreme Court on issues of fairness and efficiency, again. On this 24th anniversary of Edgewood vs. Kirby, Texans should look to the example of Gonzales and resist governmental decrees that run counter to local independence. Texans should demand that the Austin insiders scrap their top-down approach to public education policy and the finance system which redistributes local school property taxes from districts to others. House Bill 5, passed this session, began the process of returning control of education to local school districts, but nothing has been done to address the school finance dilemma. In my view, Texas should start its reform effort by scrapping the Robin Hood scheme (which takes from some school districts and redistributes it to others) and replacing it with a better way to fund the so-called propertypoor districts. Right now under Robin Hood, about $1.1 billion is taken each year from 374

Some days are a little different here in the Middle East

The day started like always. Up at 0430, walk and then feed the dog. Breakfast at 0530. The dining facility here is something to be seen. Eggs, yep cooked so dry they flake. Bacon nope. French toast? Sort of, but no butter, no syrup. Hash browns, yep but they look surprisingly like the French fries from last night. Some breads, some fruit, and stewed tomatoes? Yes, there are some very strange food selections. Anyway, breakfast takes about 10 minutes as you really only eat what you have to. In fact, all the meals go about this way. Ive seen some mystery meat that you could make car tires out of here. The dog wouldnt even eat it! So the day started as normal and we went back to our area and got ready for the days training. We actually take over the checkpoints here in a few days. Currently there is another group of dog teams working that mission. To get ready we train and train some more. Checking cars, buildings, packages, roads and everywhere something might be. Our head trainer will setup a problem, hide a sample explosive and we are tasked to find it. In the evenings, I go walking with Mad. We do about four miles a night. This gets him and me some exercise and a little relaxing alone time. Last night as I was walking through one of the living areas (all three room trailers set up in rows) when Mad pulled me to one of the buildings. I saw his behavior change. He was searching. He was acting as if he had found an odor
so-called property-rich districts and redistributed to those property-poor districts. Heres what we can do to fix it. I propose that Texas should eliminate the double taxation of 374 districts and let local school property taxes remain local. To make up the $1.1 billion increase, you increase the state sales tax by one quarter of one percent and dedicate it to the property-poor districts. The time is right for such a change. The Texas economy has changed dramatically since 1989 and rich-district, poor-district dynamics have changed. For instance, shale oil production in the Eagle Ford area has transformed many districts from property-poor to property-rich. Needless to say, the perspective towards Robin Hood has changed in those districts. In addition to correcting the financing issue, Texas needs to return control of the classroom to our teachers and our local school districts. There is a better way than teaching to the Pearson tests to provide a quality education for children in Texas public schools. (And the nationalized curriculum Common Core should be resisted for the same reason!) The Legislature should continue down the path charted by HB5, a bill I supported in the last session, which reduced end-of-course exams, encouraged vocational instruction, and developed multiple pathways to a high school diploma. Education system reform isnt that complicated. We need to be inspired by the people of Gonzales who told its government that enough is enough. Lets put power back in the hands of the local schools through school finance reform. And lets let our teachers teach to multiple pathways for a diploma.
and trucks, selling insurance, retreading tires, serving a stint in the military. Even owned a couple of beer joints. Albeit, the longest I could tolerate popping caps off longnecks was about a year and a half. Far short of the 54 years Vlastas been doing it. I guess I was blessed to have put in 35 years as a paper man. Working with words. Putting on paper a passel of nouns people, places, things throughout my time in front of a typewriter, and later a computer. Met some fine folks and told their stories the best I could. Without embarrassing them or myself. I kept a collection of my feature stories and columns from the papers I papered for and the two newspapers I owned. Hauled em from house to house, town to town, state to state. And to toot my own tuba during the time I newspapered I won a passel of feature writing and column writing awards. From every press association I was involved with. But I never wrote for my peers. I only wrote for the reader that bothered to pick up the paper. Awards and plaques are meaningless. So two years ago I tossed the clippings I had amassed over 35 years. In a dumpster. Forever to be forgotten. Though I do, on occasion, pen a scribbling for The Cannon, Ive pretty much given up spending any length of time to thought and typing. As a line from a Kris Kristofferson song goes yesterday is dead and gone, and tomorrows out of sight I agree that yesterday is dead and gone, but as long as there is a breath of life there is hope for a tomorrow still in sight down the road.

he is trained on. I followed his lead and we came to the door of one of the buildings. Mad searched the front door seam and alerted. Well, this was not a training problem. This was exactly what we were here to do and now I had found one. To say the hairs on the back of the neck were not standing on end would be a long way from the truth. I made a note of exactly where I was and where Mad had picked up the odor and approached the building from a different direction. Mad once again went to the door and alerted. That was enough for me. I contacted one of the other handlers. He and his dog arrived and the same thing happened. We were both convinced the room was hot. There was an explosive in the housing area. We followed protocol (no, I wont go into that) and made the needed notifications. We of course pulled back to a safe distance. Within minutes everyone that needed to be involved was there. As the area was evacuated and cordoned off, we watched the events we triggered. Three big armored vehicles
showed up and the EOD team took over the scene. Just like on TV, the robots and all were deployed. The team leader was being helped into his heavy bomb resistant suit (they are not bomb proof, nothing really is) and he started to walk down the long distance to the room. He carried various pieces of equipment with him as the other team members watched the area on the screen from the remote camera on the robot. The door of the room being locked, it was determined a universal key was going to be used. The bomb-suited team leader returned and his team immediately started pulling the suit off him. When they took off the helmet and face mask I could see he was wringing wet. It was about 95 outside and probably 120 in the suit. He downed three bottles of water, gathered some more items and suited back up. Again the long walk. He disappeared behind a concrete wall that separated us from the room and worked alone. Soon the remaining EOD team members started moving all their equipment back inside their vehicles and directed everyone to take cover in one the several bunkers that were in the area. I could still see the opening where the suited EOD team member had gone. He backed out through the opening and took cover around a concrete wall. FIRE IN THE HOLE! FIRE IN THE HOLE! FIRE IN THE HOLE! Was shouted by the EOD guys by their vehicle and then WHAM!! It was a very loud bang and a column of smoke rose
over the concrete wall. As soon as the dust settled, the suited member went back in to the explosion area. He attached a long line to something and returned around the corner of the wall. From there he pulled the line, evidently pulling something out of the room. He once again went back in and shortly after, he started the long walk back to the vehicles. There his team again pulled the suit off and he sat on the bumper of the truck drinking bottle after bottle of water. They talked a moment and the area was declared All Clear. We later found out that the room had been empty for about a month. The person that had lived there had been sent home for some undisclosed issues. The EOD team leader briefed us, as we have to show in our records every alert and determine what it was. He told us the alert was good and the dogs had done their job. He thanked us, loaded up in his vehicle and cleared the scene. Funny thing is several of the people that live in that area had given us a little grief about the dogs and noise they caused. They can hear the dogs barking in the mornings as they go to breakfast. Now we were great friends and they treated us completely different. I guess they realized all it takes to change their world is a dog and his handler. From Iraq (ears still ringing) This is Jon Harris and this is a Dispatch from Downrange-Iraq

Is $200 billion a conservative budget? Kolkhorst responds

lawmakers like myself and I
The Cannon
Looking Down from the Saddle

Herman Brune
Brune: This is another postlegislative session interview and you may note that I have many of the same questions that I ask each elected official. The reason is because we want to know each officials stance on topics. With that said, the legislature passed a $200 billion budget and they want us to vote on dipping into the Rainy Day Fund. Is that considered a conservative budget? And, please tell us the good things that you saw from this session this session, as well as, what you didnt like. Kolkhorst: Youre right. The budget is huge. Were the fastest growing state in the United States and have the hottest economy. Weve got the Eagle Ford Shale and other shale plays fueling our economy. Ill also tell you that I did not vote for the budget in the final version. I felt it was too large. And, we never voted on this particular item, but embedded in the budget was a pension pay raise for state

could not vote for that. In the end there were a lot of items that I did support. We put a tremendous amount of money into public education, we bolstered support for natural resources, and we helped retired teachers. But in the end I didnt vote for the budget. Its the first budget that I didnt vote for in seven terms as a representative. Im respectful of members that helped craft the budget but I didnt feel that we had sharpened our pencils enough. Instead we asked county and city governments to sharpen theirs. One of the items that I supported was the $2billion bank that were going to set up for
water conservation planning infrastructure. That money will be coming from the Rainy Day Fund. You know that for the last two years weve not had the ability to send water to rice farmers because of the low levels in the highland lakes. We must come up with solutions for thirsty urban areas. Were in the midst of a drought. If the voters allow us to set up this bank we must stay very engaged. We must decide how to allow permits for water to urban areas while protecting the rural areas. I think were taking a step in the good direction. I know there are interests in Waller and Austin Counties that want to send water to Fort Bend County. Im not interested in this bank funding water marketers. Im interested in this bank funding the Texas Water Plan. We started on this plan with Lt. Governor Bob Bullock in the late 1990s and would like to see some of the recommendations proposed by local folks that came up with solutions when setting up our regional planning process. Yes, the budget is big, huge! Texas is growing. Im concerned because some of the
costs will be recurring. And while our economy remains hot, I dont want to become California. When they had good times they built a bigger government, but, then they had to fund it. And when hard times hit they didnt make the cuts the way we did during the last session. We must be careful to not become California. Brune: During the last session money was held out of education funding. This session the money was put back. During the interim there was much discussion that throwing more money at education doesnt necessarily provide for better education. But legislators took steps other than funding that should help the quality of education. Kolkhorst: Yes, but now first I must thank all the folks that work in school districts at every level. I visited with every school district superintendent in my district separately. One of the items they stressed was while money is important a major problem was the mandated end-of-course exams. There were 15 end-of-course exams. So we passed a bill that cut these exams from 15 to 5. It also helps us identify career paths for children. We once
tried to push everyone to go to college and Im a big supporter of higher education but we should also look at careers in hands-on technology. The trim in the education budget last session was the first cuts since WWII. This time we put the money back. Brune: What is the attitude towards Speaker of the House Straus. Kolkhorst: We have a good working relationship. Hes allowed me to be chairman of the public health committee. He and I do differ on occasion. I dont think he was thrilled that I voted against the budget and other initiatives that he supported but I must vote and represent my district. I respect anyone that holds that job and know its difficult to manage representatives from across the state with varying concerns. Brune: How much of the Texas budget is spent on federal mandates? Kolkhorst: In Texas Governor Perry led the charge to not do Medicaid expansion. There was a lot of pressure by lobbyists to expand, but looking at the numbers we have Medicaid implements in the late 1960s. We have 24
percent of the population uninsured. Medicaid expansion would have only gotten another three percent, and only 30 percent of doctors want to see new Medicaid patients. The problem is that theyre changing the law, Obamacare, before our eyes as they please. Texas had to tap the brakes on Medicaid expansion especially when it was going to insure less than one million people. Economists were hired to put forth false numbers. I used state agency forecasters. We need to let the dust settle before we think about another federal health program in Texas. Health and Human Services represents more than 25 percent of our budget. Brune: Back to water should the LCRA be under Sunset Review? Kolkhorst: I would support that. While I respect their work through the years, there is a huge advantage to transparency. All of the river authorities are government agencies when it benefits them, and then not agencies when it doesnt benefit them. If the voters allow this $2 billion water bank to be set up, we have a duty to stay engaged. Grassroots works.
Independence question could be on GOP primary ballot

HONDO The Texas Nationalist Movement is working to give Texas Republicans the right to cast a ballot in favor of re-establishing Texas as an independent republic via the petition process defined in Texas election law. Response from all over the state has been extremely positive with block-walkers reporting receiving signatures from as high as 80% of the registered Republicans they reached in their door-to-door canvassing. The Petition states: I know that the purpose of this petition is to place a referendum on the 2014 primary ballot for the REPUBLICAN PARTY that states: The State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation. FOR OR AGAINST... Volunteers for the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) have been circulating this petition statewide since mid-August and have received a welcome reception from Texans from all walks of life at political events, festivals, parks, and gun shows. The TNM has county organizations in over 40 counties covering nearly 70 percent of the population of Texas. The organization will have a booth and petition forms available during the Come and Take It Celebration in Gonzales Oct. 4-6. Due to unsolicited inquiries from people all over the state on Facebook , e-mail, and via telephone calls the TNM is letting Texans everywhere know that it will work with the county Republican organizations statewide to hold petition signing events to accommodate those living in areas which do not yet have a TNM county affiliate, TNM Executive Director Cary Wise said. Just reach-out to your local Republican Party organization and let them know you want them to setup a petition signing event and the Texas Nationalist Movement will work with them to accommodate Texas voters in your area, Wise said. From the response we are seeing Texas Republicans will have the opportunity to instruct the Republican Party that they want them working to achieve Texas independence, he added.

Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek reports that on Saturday, Sept. 28, at approximately 9:00 pm, Fayette County Dispatch received a 911 call from a resident on Berger Rd, in Fayette County north of Schulenburg, reporting a tractor that for some reason was in the callers yard. When Sheriff s Office deputies arrived they dis-

covered a male body laying in close proximity to the tractor. The deputies immediately called for emergency medical response. Jerome Fillip, 51, was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Dan Mueller. No foul play is suspected and it has been ruled a farming accident at this time. After speaking with family members it was discovered that the starter of the tractor had been
malfunctioning and that a screw driver was being used to start the tractor. The tractor was in gear when it was started and sprung forward, dragging the victim and eventually running over him. Incident was investigated by the Fayette County Sheriff s Office. Also responding and assisting with the incident were Texas Department of Public Safety, Fayette County EMS, and Precinct 4 Area First Responders
well as another contractor to shore up the museums foundation to eliminate water seepage beneath the building. Both projects must be approved by the Texas Historical Commission, but Barnes said initial contacts hes had with THC have been very favorable. This would be the first bite on that museum in 77 years, he said. It would make a huge statement to the State of Texas, the citizens of Gonzales and the families of the men the museum honors. Barnes said the city has a surplus of funding in its tourism budget which could be used for the project. During the public comment portion of the meeting, citizen Doris Liefeste read the names of the Old Gonzales 18 the men who originally took the field arrayed against a hundred Mexican dragoons and refused to turn over the Gonzales Cannon, and urged Councils passage of the Museum agenda item. Also Tuesday, the Council approved a maximum contract for the renovation of the citys water plant. The council approved up to $379.067 to be expended by LNV Engineering on the project. Council members also gave a green light to an application by Gonzales Main Street for a Texas Capital Fund Main Street Improvement Program grant. The grant money would be used to make the corner
of St. Joseph St. at St. Andrew St. ADAcompliant. In other action Tuesday, the Council: Authorized the use of the Gonzales Memorial Museum grounds for the Gonzales Memorial Healthcare Systems annual fundraising Gala on May 3, 2014; Declined to include the Gonzales County Restoration Association (Pioneer Village) on the citys insurance coverage; Approved an amended plat for the Lous Garden Subdivision. The developer is re-platting three lots to enable a buyer to purchase an oversized lot; Authorized the use of Confederate Square for the Happy Fall Yall event Oct. 26 and the annual Main Street Lighted Christmas Parade; Approved contracts with two companies for street improvements along St. Vincent, St. Paul, St. Andrew and Church streets; Ordered a public hearing Nov. 4 for the citys Capital Improvement Plan; Declared the citys old burhs truck as surplus and authorized its sale; Adopted the citys new Engineering Standards Manual; Approved the pass-through of cost increases for waste collection, which will increase costs for homeowners by about 26 cents per month; Approved the re-zoning of parts of three lots in the 2400 block of Church St. for mobile home use.

SHOOTING: Man killed after firing at deputies

not have manpower enough to successfully handle a case like this, Measom contacted the Sheriff s Office. They in turn worked together and set up surveillance, utilizing resources within their offices and contacting other agencies to include the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas National Guard and several federal agencies. Because of the tremendous pressure on all state resources from border security operations, most assistance from that level was hit and miss at best, said Sachtleben. Federal resources are usually predicated on the involvement of the State in some form or another, hence it finally fell upon the local officers to work the operation as best they could with resources at hand. In the end, it was the Sheriff s Office, Constable Measoms Office (with some additional assistance from both Constable Ken Hedrick and Constable John Moreno), local DPS and a tremendous amount of support and work by Gonzales Police
Chief Tim Crow and the Gonzales Police Department that brought the entire project to fruition. This grow is significant as being one of the largest if not the largest grow ever found in Gonzales County, said Sachtleben. It consisted of an estimated 4,000 plus plants at its peak. The entire grow was cut down as evidence, with most of the work being done by Chief Crow and his officers and secured with the assistance of the City of Gonzales. The shooting is being investigated by the Texas Rangers and any information will be turned over to the local prosecutors office for attention as appropriate. The remainder of the case, including the marijuana and the second violator will be turned over to the federal prosecutors office through the Bureau of Justice, division of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The entire operation hinged upon interagency cooperation and would illustrate the highest degree of coordinated law enforcement resource management for an extended period of time, said Sachtleben.
better setup for customers and layaway. This is much larger than what we have at the current store, and I think it will be a lot more convenient for customers, Davila said. The customer service center is located at the front of the store and will handle everything from returns to layaways, the Site-to-Store program and custom-ordered merchandise. A special storage area is also up front, specifically for layaway and Site-to-Store. At the old store, all that was in the back and the bins for layaways and Site-to-Store were part of the regular back room, now you wont have to go from one side of teh store to the other to find what youre looking for, he said. Davila said hes also very happy to report the new facility will have expanded register capacity. There will be 16 regular checkout lines, as well as six self-checkouts. The pharmacy areas size will remain about the same as the current facility, but shoppers will now have a drive-through system at the front of the store to place and pick up prescriptions. Most of the major retail areas are greatly expanded: there is a much larger outdoor Garden Center, toy section, housewares section, health and beauty aids and sporting goods department. I was really happy we could expand sporting goods, because I like hunting and fishing and I wanted to make sure we got a full hunting set, Davila said. While some Walmart locations have discontinued carrying firearms, the new store will carry a selection hunting long rifles and shotguns. It will not carry handguns. It was good to see the firearms introduced back into the store, he said. We have a lot of customers who are outdoor
enthusiasts, and I think this layout will be very appealing to them. Also type of merchandise returning to Walmart will be fabrics. Many Walmart locations discontinued carrying fabrics a couple of years back, but Davila said the demand locally played a role in the return of the fabric racks. Sometimes you have something you think nobody uses much, then you pull it out, you find out how many people really do use it, he said. Also expanding will be the electronics/ media and digital photography section of the store. Davila said that area will be full supercenter size and the photo lab will include both electronic kiosks for processing as well as online-ordered and custom orders. Aquarium enthusiasts will be happy to note that live fish will be available in the expanded pets department. New to Gonzales Walmart customers, of course, will be a full grocery section, including fresh produce, a deli and bakery and full dairy and meat cases, including a seafood case. The store will also operate with a much smaller receiving/backroom area than many supercenters. Davila explained the company is constantly working to maximize efficiency and decrease the backdoor-to-sales floor time. The workforce at the store will also roughly triple, Davila said, from the 120 or so at the old store. Were still hiring, were constantly hiring, they can apply online or at the kiosk at the old store or when we get the kiosk set up here, Davila said.

Reader Lee Darilek submitted these photos of members of the Gonzales Young Farmers serving up barbecue dinner for residents at the Fisher House for wounded servicemen in San Antonio. This group of amazing men do this regularly - prep the meat in the evening, stay up much of the night while it cooks, nap on lawn chairs, ...and then up bright and early the next day to make sure its ready in time for the BBQ for Wounded Warriors and their families, Darilek said. Pretty stellar bunch and very glad I was able to help out.
A front-page photo in last weeks Cannon noted the Gonzales High School Cheerleaders were selling Apaches for a Cure T-shirts to assist unfunded women with mammograms and or breast biopsies by donating to Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation. Gonzales Healthcare Foundation executive director Connie Kacir reported Wednesday afternoon the cheerleaders had exceeded their wildest expectations, selling 1,001 pink tee-shirts in their Apaches for a Cure campaign. Mammography to women. Even in the larger urban areas, this technology is fairly uncommon. There was a lot of hard work that went into getting such cutting edge equipment and everyone is thankful for their efforts. Our womens center also includes the ability to perform stereotactic guided biopsies, and a bone densitometer. Advantages of 3D Mammography are improved cancer detection, reduced false positives, better visualization and less patient anxiety. Also 3D Mammography gives radiologists the ability to view inside the breast layer by layer, helping to see the fine details more clearly by minimizing overlapping tissue. The brunch will also feature live music to dine by. A silent auction with loads of wonderful items will be available for those who are interested and there will also be a number of door prizes. If anyone is interested in donating an item to the silent auction or door prizes please let us know. The Best Decorated Pink Hat Contest is back by popular demand. Decorate a hat in pink, wear it in to the brunch and show it off to everyone. The one who gets the most votes from those at the brunch will win a prize. There will be a prize for adult entries and one for student entries. For more information, to make donations or purchase tickets, please call Jan Wurz at 830-857-1843, Persons Flowers at 830-6722883 or Janice Williamson at 830-857-5694.

On this day in 1843, Albert Sidney Johnston married Eliza Griffin. Johnston, born in Kentucky in 1803, had moved to Texas in 1836 and served as secretary of war for the Republic of Texas under President Mirabeau B. Lamar in 1838. In 1840 Johnston returned to Kentucky where he married Eliza Griffin, a Virginia native eighteen years his junior. She was an accomplished musician and artist. The couple settled at Johnstons China Grove plantation in Brazoria County and later lived in Austin. They had six children. After Albert took command of the U.S. Armys newly formed Second Cavalry regiment, Eliza kept a diary of her travels with her husband and his regiment from Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, to Fort Mason, Texas, and described daily life, foods, flowers, and hardships of the journey, as well as various military personalities who became famous during the Civil War. Albert resigned his commission at the beginning of the Civil War and was appointed a general in the Confederate Army. He was killed at the battle of Shiloh in Tennessee in 1862. Eliza died in 1896. Texas Wildflowers, a book of her watercolor paintings of flowers, was published in 1972.

Gonzales man injured
A Gonzales man was seriously injured after his truck flew off an Interstate 10 overpass landing on North Austin Street around 1:30 p.m. Monday. Seguin police officers said it was unclear what caused Mike Fonseca, who was traveling westbound on IH10 near mile marker 609, to crash through the guardrail, drive off the highway and land in the both northbound lanes of State Highway 123 Business. He was driving a pickup marked Gonzales County, Precinct 4. Fonseca was taken by helicopter to a hospital in San Antonio for treatment. (Photo courtesy Felicia Frazar, Seguin Gazette)

County resident earns unique international distinctions

A Gonzales County resident recently earned a couple of unique international distinctions. Dr. Wayne A. LePori, a professor emeritus at Texas A&M and landowner in northern Gonzales County, on Sept. 5 received the Josefa Teresa de Musto y Moya, Xerez y Monroy Medal from the University of Guanajuato in Guanajauto, Mexico. The medal honors one of the founders of the universaity, who at one time allowed her home to be utilized as a place to teach students, and is one of the highest honors the university bestows annually. LePori also received an award from the Life Sciences Division of the University of Gto at the Irapuato-Salamanca campus. LePori spent an academic leave from Texas A&M at the latter school and developed a cultural and student exchange program between the universities. It is unique in that the students operate the exchange, LePori said. Students host students, plan educational events, industry tours, and social events. The hosting students and institution cover all the expenses of hosting their guests. LePori had 37 years of service at Texas A&M, during which he obtained the highest distinctions. He was awarded the title of professor emeritus in 2004 and that same year he was appointed to head up Fish Camp LePori to welcome freshmen. In his remarks presenting the award, Dr. Jose Manuel Cabrera Sixto, the Rector of the University of Guanajuato, said that LePori always
vision , thanks to contact with students from all over the world and convinced the benefits of this interaction, both teachers and students. Sixto said LePoris contact with the university in 1997 led to the establishment of a close relationship between the two schools. With that first contact with teachers, students and administrators, (LePori) envisioned future collaborations to exchange experiences between the two institutions, Sixto said. The interaction between the two universities has resulted in a partnership between the Department of Biological and Agricultural Sciences College of Agriculture and Division of Life Sciences, University of Guanajuato, whose main objective is that Mexican and American students live extramural experience in the social, cultural and educational realm, through knowing the educational methods in an academic institution outside the United States, meet farming and related industries in an-
other country, learn another culture and communicate in another language. This exchange has been carried out continuously for 15 years, which has resulted in more than 150 students in our institution who have lived international experience, plus over 30 American students who visited the University of Guanajuato, Sixto added. In addition to the two ceremonies, LePori was invited to make a presentation tot he faculty and students in the Life Sciences Department at the Irapuato-Salamanca Campus.

Remember: Voter ID law in place Nov. 5

When going to the polls in the Nov. 5 election, 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. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott ordered it enforced after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against preclearance requirements for states regulated by the Voting Rights Act. Some 20 other states have voter ID laws that were not challenged by the federal government. Besides the constitutional amendment election, the voting will include bond elections for the Gonzales Indepenedent School District. Photo IDs will be required to vote in any jurisdictions election. Early voting for the Nov. 5 election will start on Oct. 21. Here are the acceptable forms of identification: 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. Voters are encouraged to update their voter registrations to reflect the names on their IDs. Voters may use IDs not exactly matching the name on their IDs if the names are substantially similar, but they will have to sign an affidavit stating they are the same peron. Voters may look up their

TxDOT to ensure those concerns are addressed. TFB asked TxDOT to confirm that the selected roadways will be converted back to asphalt once oil and gas activity slows. The states largest grassroots farming organization also asked TxDOT to establish meaningful stakeholder relations and to discuss whether or not additional FM roadways will also be converted to a gravel-hybrid surface. The Farm-to-Market road system plays an integral role in the lives of millions of Texans every day, Rochester said. Its not just farmers and ranchers who utilize these roadways. Families, businessmen and women and others use FM roads to travel to school, work and back home at the end of the day. TFB will continue to work with TxDOT and monitor decisions made by the Texas Transportation Commission regarding the conversion of FM roads.

It was Albert Einstein who made the following sage observation: There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. Many people believe that one should never remove ones wedding ring. However, one superstition holds that doing so is perfectly acceptable -- as long as the ring is being used to ward off a witch. Theres nothing surprising about the fact that upon the death of British novelist, poet and
essayist D.H. Lawrence, the authors body was cremated. What is unusual is that, at Lawrences request, his ashes were mixed into the plaster used to build the D.H. Lawrence Ranch in Questa, N.M. As Halloween approaches, if you live in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Iowa, you might want to keep in mind your states tax policy. If youre buying a pumpkin to carve into a jack-o-lantern, youll need to pay tax on the gourd. Pumpkins used for food purposes, however, are subject to no such tax.
In 2009, a Saudi couple who had spent their honeymoon in Malaysia encountered difficulty on the return flight home. It seems that the groom felt the bride was taking too long in the airport restroom, so he boarded the flight back to Saudi Arabia before she did. When he allowed the plane to leave without her, she insisted on an immediate divorce. The next time youve enjoyed a happy hour out with friends, you might want to consider the virtually unknown adjective gambrinous, which means to be content and happy due to a stomach full of beer. *** Thought for the Day: My advice to you is to get married.

The Cannon
After surviving their toughest test on the year last week in College Station, Gonzales returns to Apache Stadium to celebrate the 2013 Homecoming. The Apaches (3-1) held a 14-point lead over College Station last week with less than two minutes to play, only to watch the Cougars come storming back to send the game into over-
time. The Gonzales defense stopped College Station on fourth down and quarterback Alyas Ramirez scored on a 15-yard run to allow them to escape with the 4337 win. I was proud of our guys for hanging in there after the momentum had shifted, said Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock. We played well at times. Our pass defense was not very good, we gave up 300 yards passing for the

Ramirez turned in a spectacular performance, rushing for six touchdowns and what it is believed to be a school-record 364 yards. Running back D.J. Gonzales was also very effective, picking up 109 yards on his 20 carries. We rushed for over 500
yards against a pretty good team, Lock said. Those two guys ran well and the offensive line blocked well. Alyas looked a lot more comfortable at the quarterback position last week. Weve got one more game to get right before district starts. Weve had some guys banged up here and there, but we came out of the game fairly healthy. The only injury concern for Gonzales is with Jose Contreras, who was limAPACHES, Page C2

The Comanches (2-2) got back on the winning track with a 45-0 shutout of Thrall last week in Homecoming and get one more non-district test as they face Weimar. We had come off two tough teams in Hallettsville and Schulenburg. We felt we played well against Schulenburg, Shiner coach Steven Cerny said. Now, we are playing fellow 1A teams and feel like we can control the game which boosts our confidence. The Wildcat offense is mostly a two-back, quarterback-under-system this year. Weimar will attack with speedy running back Jakyle Harris and balanced quarterback Juwan Almedia. Seth Helmcamp will be the key receiving target. We need to get to their ball carriers before they
get open and get going, Cerny said. Our defense needs to attack and be the aggressor. The Cats line up in a split defense with an even front, something Shiner has not seen for some time. We just have to keep executing our veer game and make sure we pick up three to four yards a play, Cerny said. Both the Comanches and the Cats lost to highpowered Hallettsville on the road in shutouts, Shiner fell 39-0 in Week 1 and Weimar was defeated 49-0 on Friday during the Brahmas Homecoming game. San Antonio Brooks at Luling The Luling Eagles lost their first game of the season last week in their district opener at Marion, 36-31. We had too many turnovers and set ourselves up for a loss, Luling head
coach Colby Hensley said. The Eagles (4-1, 0-1) will look to bounce back quickly as San Antonio Brooks Academy comes to town for Homecoming 2013. We are going to go back and fix the mistakes from the Marion game, Hensley said. We need to sharpen our basics: ball security, tackling, blocking, catching, and throwing. Brooks currently sits at 0-5 on the season but Hensley said he expects a good game. They are an improved team and it is a good game for us to get back on track, he said. The Tigers run a spread offense and throw the ball a lot, with quarterback William Blohm completing 14-of-43 passes for 151 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

TAPPS DIII, Dist. 5 Standings
ited to just kicking duties against College Station due to a head injury. Lock expects him to play more extensively on Friday night. Hes important for us because he starts at defensive tackle but he also splits time in the backfield as a blocking back, he said. Its a big loss whenever hes out. Gonzales will welcome a familiar foe in San Antonio Sam Houston, a former league mate in the old District 26-3A. The two teams quickly developed a heated rivalry that began in 2010 when the Apaches dropped a 12-8 game at Sam Houston. The antagonism reached its peak the following year when both teams entered the game as state-ranked unbeatens. The Hurricanes, who boasted a roster that would eventually send seven kids to Division I college programs, would be shutout by Gonzales in that game 27-0. They came out and talk-
ed to everybody, Lock said. They talked to our players, they talked to me, they talked to our fans. That was the only time I ever heard anybody boo at Apache Stadium. It was on after that because they woke up a sleeping giant that night. Sam Houston has fallen on hard times since those glory days of recent past. The Hurricanes have lost 12 of their last 16 games including a 61-6 drubbing at the hands of Gonzales
during a winless season last year. When we first scheduled them they were really, really good, said Lock. Theyve always had talent and size, but nobody really knew what they were going to be like going forward. Last year they had a lot of discipline problems and Coach (Gary) Green let some kids go to clean the program up. I respect him for doing the right thing. Theyre still extremely ath-
letic and theyve played varro (54-12). pretty well at times this If theyre in the game, year. Theyre kind of like they seem to build mous in the sense that theyve mentum, Lock said. But if yet to play four outstanding quarters back-to-back-toback-to-back. Sam Houstons only win this year was a 45-29 decision over winless San Antonio Southside in Week One. The Hurricanes have lost to San Antonio Brackenridge (63-0), Devine (3521), San Antonio Edison (40-12) and Geronimo Na-

Gonzales beats College Station in overtime, 43-37

COLLEGE STATION The Gonzales Apaches football team had some tough moments in Fridays game at College Station, but found a way to get the job done by making plays when it counted. And it counted in overtime when Cougar quarterback Cole Whittlesey decided to tuck it and run on a fourth-down play from the 25, needing to get to the 5. He was stopped 10 yards short and the Gonzales offense took over, scoring on a 15-yard run by quarterback Alyas Ramirez, his sixth touchdown of the game, to send the Apaches (3-1) past College Station, 43-37, in overtime. We have stuff we need to clean up, Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock said. Our pass defense tonight was not very good. Too many big plays at the end, but I am going to give our guys credit. Its tough when you are up 14 points and then you get pushed into overtime. We hold them on defense and then we score. That was big for us. We have to take the positives and correct the negatives. A nine-yard run by Ramirez with just 1:56 left in the ball game put the Apaches ahead 37-23. The Cougars (3-1) then marched 68 yards in nine plays and 52 seconds. Whittlesey had three straight completions to Charlie Glover, totaling 25 yards. Whittlesey later had an 18-yard scramble to the Apache 30 and Drake Carnes hauled in a pass for 27 yards to the 3. Three plays later, Whittlesey scrambled into the end zone to cut Gonzales lead to 37-30 with 58 seconds left. The Cougars successfully recovered the onsides kick at the Apache 44. Lock said Gonzales was not paying careful attention to how College Station lined up for the kickoff. On the second play, Glover took a pass 40 yards to the 4 and Whittelsey ran in for the touchdown on the next play, opting to go for the extra point to force overtime. The Apaches took the opening kickoff to near midfield and Ramirez scored on a 51-yard sweep on the games first play. Brant Philippus was good on the two-point play and it was 8-0 Gonzales. Gonzales got the ball back after a three-and-out by College Station. The Apaches drove from their 45 to the Cougar 5 and an apparent Darrance James touchdown run was called

Later, a Ramirez pass to Jaime Tellez gained five yards on a fourth-and-7 play from the 8. A few plays later, Whittlesey found Chris Sennette open in the middle for a coast-to-coast 97yard touchdown pass, leaving Gonzales up 8-7 as the Cougars chose to kick the extra point. Gonzales drove 67 yards on the runs of Ramirez to the Cougar 5 but the home sides defense stopped Ramirez on a fourth-down run, giving College Station the ball at its 12. Rajah Preciado had a 57-yard run on the third play and later capped the drive with a three-yard run to give College Station a 13-8 lead with 6:52 remaining in the second quarter. College Station picked off Ramirez on the next drive and turned into a field goal for a 16-8 lead which they took into the halftime break. With Gonzales deferring to the second half on the opening coin toss and the Cougars choosing to kickoff, Gonzales received the second-half kickoff. D.J. Gonzales got a 24-yard gain to the Cougar 33 on the first play and Ramirez capped the short, threeplay drive with a 24-yard run. Tellez scored the twopoint conversion and it was 16-16. Gonzales lost a fumble on its next possession and the Cougars took advantage with another big play as Whittlesey went to Glover for a 79-yard scoring strike for a 23-16 advantage. The Apaches responded with a seven-play, 76-yard drive with D.J. Gonzales getting a 44-yard run and Ramirez finishing things off with a 14-yard failed. Gonzales missed the two point conversion, trailing 23-22 with 3:58 left in the third. The teams traded punts and Gonzales retook the lead after a Cougar fumble led to a 12-yard Ramirez run early in the fourth quarter. A James two-point run put Gonzales up 30-23. Ramirez had a monster of a game, carving up the Cougar defense with 364 GONZALES, Page C4

SHINER You can take that copy of Shiners 2013 football schedule and draw a line through the matchup with Thrall in Week 3. Literally. The Comanche linemen dominated both sides of the ball Friday, holding Thralls Tigers to negative yardage while opening gaping holes for more than 400 yards of offense en route to a 45-0 romp in Shiners Homecoming matchup. We just dominated the line of scrimmage tonight, said Shiner head coach Steven Cerny, whose club squared its season record at 2-2 with the win. The D-line was very dominant. The Comanches held Thrall to negative-31 rushing yards and a total of one passing yard. The Tigers lone first down came on a roughing-the-kicker call to start the second half; Thrall was forced to punt 10 times. The Shiner offense, meanwhile, picked up
steam after a slow start and churned out 378 yards on the ground while only putting the ball on the ground once. I keep saying, thats going to be our secret, the offensive line, Cerny said. Our timing was messed up last week against Schulenburg, and it took us a couple of series to get it tonight. I think the biggest thingyou can say is we got it done with no injuries, any time you can say that, youre happy. The teams started the game by exchanging punts, but the Comanches struck on their second series following a short punt and an illegal-block call. Quarterback Jacob Stafford kept the ball on a simple quarterback sneak -- and followed a wall of beef into the Tiger secondary before scampering free and racing 44 yards to score. Shiner had a second chance to capitalize in the opening period following an interception by Blake Michalec, but fumbled the
ball away inside the Thrall 5-yard line. The Comanche defense, however, wasnt in a mood to give any quarter and forced another threeand-out deep in Tiger territory, and the Comanches set up again at the Thrall 38 to open the second period. Six plays later, Stafford again burst free on a simple keeper up the middle, covering 13 yards to make it a 12-0 contest. The Tigers punted three more times in the second period, and the Comanches followed each kick with a score. Sophomore running back Chad Neubauer, who finished as the games leading rusher with 113 yards on 14 carries, skirted left end for the first TD on a 6-yard run. On Shiners next possession, Stafford launched a 51-yard bomb and Neubauer made an over-the-shoulder catch to cap a one-play drive and make it 25-0. The Comanches finished up the half by marching COMANCHES, Page C4

Gonzales JV loses to College Station

From coaches reports The Apaches turned the ball over twice in the first quarter and both resulted in Cougar touchdowns as the Apaches fell to College Station, 14-7. The Apaches answered with their first drive of the second half when Tyler Hendershot scored on a QB sneak with 5:46 left in the third. The touchdown was set up by a 15-yard catch by Klayton Blackwell and a nice 11-yard run by Tyree Lampkin. Eduardo Almaguer finished the night with two catches for 41 yards. The Apache defense was led by Dillon Catchings and Joe Irle. Navarro 34, GJH 8th Grade A0 The Apaches took one on the chin as they lost at Navarro, 34-0.

COMANCHES: Cruised out to a 31-0 halftime lead

59 yards in nine plays, with Stafford again finding the end zone from two yards out for a 31-0 halftime lead. The roughing-the-kicker call gave Thrall its only extra set of downs of the night to start the second half, but the Comanches again forced a punt. Shiner
then drove 57 yards in eight plays, with Neubauer scooting outside on a counter play and scoring untouched from 17 yards away. The Comanches picked up their final points midway through the fourth period, as the reserves marched 54 yards in eight plays, capped by a 4-yard scoring run by Rigo Baray.
GONZALES: Ramirez runs for six touchdowns

yards rushing and six touchdowns. D.J. Gonzales played the role of supporting actor with 109 yards on 20 carries. I thought Alyas and D.J. did a great job of running the football, Lock said. They are hard to tackle in the fourth quarter.
I thought we had a lot of people contribute tonight. I love our effort. I dont like our mistakes. Ramirez did throw two interceptions in the game. It was a tough one. It was my worst one and my best one, he said. My offensive line helped me gain all those rushing yards.
back Jacob Lopez (761) and tight end Adam Chavez (3-60, touchdown). Lopez is also the teams leading rusher with 165 yards on 18 carries and one touchdown. We have to be sharp with our secondary coverage, Hensley said. Brooks will line up in three-man fronts on defense. Key players are linebacker Robert Albury, defensive back Jeremiah Mata and end Damien Mellieon. In addition to ball security, the Luling offense must improve blocking up front. I want our offense to be physical in this game, Hensley said. Sacred Heart at HullDaisetta Fresh off their first win of the season, 47-20 against Louise on Friday, Sacred Heart will meet Hull-Daisetta in Katy at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. It was nice to get that first-game monkey off our back, Indian head coach Pat Henke said. Sacred Heart will take on fast, strong and very big Hull-Daisetta. They have a lot of talented kids and this will be the best team we have faced, he said. The Bobcats (0-4) run a Wing-T/Slot-T misdirection on offense and will be led by running backs Dar-
rell Lavalais and Chris Herman. The offensive line will be led by Dezmon Cook. We have to stop their run game by getting them at the line of scrimmage or we will have a hard time catching them, Henke said. The Cats go with an eight-man front on defense. Our best defense will need to be our offense. We have to have sustained drives that end with points, Henke said. Bryan Brazos Christian at St. Paul St. Paul will be home to have another chance for their first win of the season as Bryan Brazos Christian pays a visit to Comanche Stadium at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. They are always a good team and it is always a competitive game, Cardinals head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. We are viewing this game as a fresh start for us. We made some progress last week against Cypress Christian and we want to build on that improvement this week. The Eagles are a pro-style team that uses the I-formation a lot. They will line up with a fullback and tailback in the backfield, a tight end and two receivers, he said. They will run the ball about 90 percent of the time.
The Eagles main ball carriers are fullback Jesse Honnas and tailback Kenny Honnas. We have to make sure our defense is lined up correctly and we have to tackle better, Wachsmuth said. Against Cypress, we did not tackle well at some critical times. Brazos Christian runs a split defense and will come at opponents with eightman fronts. On offense, we have to make sure we know our assignments well and be consistent in our execution, Wachsmuth said. Key players on the Eagles defense are safety Justin Duewall and end Cooper Owen. Burton at Flatonia Flatonia holds Homecoming this week as they host Burton at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at Bulldog Stadium. The Dogs have won three straight after falling to Nixon-Smiley in Zero Week while Burton is 1-3, but will pick up steam as the rest of the season goes on. Burton is a good football team. They are fast, have a lot of size and are very physical, Flatonia head coach Chris Freytag said. They have not been healthy most of the season but they are now. They will make the playoffs and will make a deep run.
The Panthers offense are a spread-style team and get their skilled players into space. They will run counters and quarterback sweeps, Freytag said. They are very athletic. Burtons offense is paced by quarterback Luke Huffer, who will be all over the field during the game. He is a fast guy, Freytag said. Our defense has to get a couple of turnovers, get containment and tackle well. Burton runs a 3-4 on defense and is strong in all areas of that unit. Flatonia will need to continue to protect the football and control the clock with their run game, and execute well in the passing game, which they have done the last couple of games. Dilley at Nixon-Smiley The Nixon-Smiley Mustangs get ready to entertain the Dilley Wolves in their first district home game and their Homecoming game. The Wolves currently are 2-2 on the season and their offense will be led by quarterback Leo Garcia and wide receiver Sabby Torres. Jeremey Herra, receiver from last season, has made the switch to running back for Dilley. On defense, look for plays to be made by outside linebacker Joe Dominic Garcia and end Alejandro Guzman.

early on by scoring in four of their first five possessions and did so in a variety of ways long sustained drives, big plays, and even twice on special teams. The kids came out right away and played good ball, said Hallettsville head coach Tommy Psencik. The defense was tested early and they answered. Keeping a zero on the board means a lot to them. We got to play everybody tonight, which is important on Homecoming. Weimar is young, but we really respect them and their coaching staff a lot. I thought our kids played a really well rounded ball game overall. Dalton Herrington, who was announced as Homecoming King during the halftime ceremonies, wasted no time in getting the Brahmas on the scoreboard. He bobbled the opening kickoff at his own three, darted through a crease in the coverage and exploded up the right sideline for a 97-yard touchdown return. After forcing a Weimar three and out, Hallettsville went on an eight-play drive that began near midfield but stalled out when Kaden Hardt was stopped just short on fourth and two from the Weimar 12. The Wildcats continued to sputter with the
Weimar (2-1) got good field position due to a short kickoff, but they backed themselves up on second down when quarterback Juwan Almeida loss the handle on the shotgun snap and fell on the ball after a 10-yard loss. The Wildcats did get a break two plays later however, when Almeidas punt got away from Grounds, took a big bounce and rolled all the way down to the Hallettsville 8. The Brahmas responded with a big boy 16-play drive where they only twice faced third down, including the 10-yard scoring pass from Nate Kowalik to Trenton McGee. Hallettsville followed Weimars ensuing three and out by taking over possession at midfield. Brent Motal picked up four on an inside run before Tim Sheppard caught a slant pass from Kowalik and ran away from the Weimar secondary to post a 47-yard touchdown. While Weimar continued to struggle, Hallettsville continued to flourish. On the first play of their next possession, Sheppard went 46 yards after a hitch pass. Two plays later, McGee hauled in a short pass and ran through several defenders for a 25-yard score. The Wildcats once again set up with good field position at their 38. After
switch to a running clock for the second half and with their first possession, Hallettsville ran off seven plays and found themselves at the Weimar 17. Kowalik connected with Grounds at the two and the nimble receiver juked a defender before falling into the end zone for his second touchdown. Helmcamp came on in relief of Almeida, only to have his first pass swiped by Grounds and returned to the Weimar 29. Seven plays later, Hallettsville capped their drive with a one-yard plunge by Motal. Hallettsville dominated the game offensively, led by Kowaliks efficient play. He completed 71 percent of his passes for 257 yards and four touchdowns. The Brahmas were equally imposing on defense, especially against the run where they held Weimar to a mere 29 yards on 23 carries. Hallettsville gets a chance to rest during next weeks bye before they open District 14-2A-DI play at Palacios. Were still seeing a lot of mistakes that we dont want to be making, said Psencik. Our district is pretty strong in spots, so were going to have to make sure we continue to get our team better. Thats the main thing.
APACHES: Hoping to get a chance to play backups

the get go and play extremely well. They dont like us so we know theyll be up for this game. The Hurricanes like to operate mostly out of either a double slot formation with a single back or a twoback set with two receivers and one split. Theyve very rarely ever gone with a tight end so theyve been pretty open on both sides, said Lock. Sam Houston is only averaging 263 yards per game on offense, where their most dynamic player is running back Erin Mack. A transfer from San Antonio Southwest where he ran for 1,477 yards and 20 touchdowns last year, Mack leads
the team in rushing with 439 yards and six touchdowns. Other players to watch on that side of the ball include southpaw QB Raymonte Prime (36-84 552 yards, 3 TD, 6 int), OL William Richardson and wideouts Taveon Jones (6-231, 2TD) and Dewane Brown (8-110, TD). Sam Houston has struggled mightily on defense this year, giving up an average of 378 yards per game including 250 on the ground. The Hurricanes like to line in a variety of sets. They run a split concept but on film Ive seen them in three or four different defenses, said Lock. Theyve played some man
with just four men in the box but theyve played a lot of 4-2 and 4-3. They play everybody differently so Im sure theyll have some wild stuff for us. In the process of looking to garner his third straight win over Sam Houston, Lock said this game could also be instrumental in helping his team develop some depth before heading into district. We got to play a lot of kids against Victoria East and Bastrop, and we played everybody against Lanier, he said. That was a good thing. Weve got some young guys who are going to be good for years to come and I think its important to get them into this game if we can.

Game Warden Field Notes
He returned to the same area later that evening and heard several shots coming from the property. When the warden contacted the shooter, he found that the man was in possession of 19 mourning doves, four over his daily bag limit, did not have a hunting license, and was in possession of a stolen Remington 20-gauge out of Irving. The shotgun and birds were confiscated and charges are pending. Aiming for Trouble An Edwards County game warden and a Real County game warden saw a group of people taking fish illegally with a spear gun. When they confronted the group, the wardens found 42 illegally taken game fish. The subjects were issued numerous citations for taking fish by illegal means and methods. Not So Squeaky Clean Two San Augustine County game wardens received information about possible road hunting including the description of a vehicle seen leaving the area shortly after the shots. The wardens searched the area and on a nearby dirt road discovered deer tracks on the road. Following the tracks, the wardens found a fresh blood-stained scene. Taking into account the totality of the circumstance and the wardens knowledge of local poachers, they hastily went to a residence less than two miles away. Upon arrival, the wardens saw a vehicle matching the description from the scene. The back of the truck looked as if it was freshly washed, but the cleaning was not good enough to hide fresh blood and hair that was still noticeable. The wardens were given permission from the property owner to search the freezer and refrigerator inside the residence. Inside the refrigerator was a bag of still-warm deer meat. The wardens located the suspects and confessions were obtained. Spotlight Shooting Two Shelby County The following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports: Hot Tamale A Val Verde County game warden received a call from the Del Rio Police Department about a small SUV that had a white-tailed deer in the back seat. The warden asked the woman about the deer and she said she needed it for tamales she was planning to make the next day. One case filed for possession in closed season and one case of DWI filed by the Del Rio Police Department. Guessing Game An Ellis County game warden met a new farmer at a gas station who wanted his business card because he was having trouble with dove hunters on his properties. One day, the farmer called the warden with the license plate of a truck with two men inside who were shooting at dove while driving down the road. The warden drove to the location and picked up hulls on the road and proceeded to look for the truck. The truck was spotted just as it was turning into the driveway. After confronting the subjects about their hunt, the warden made a deal with them and said, Ill leave, but only if I cant guess what gauge shotgun is in the gun case in your backseat, and Ill bet in that camouflage bag there are low brass, Winchester #8 shot shells that are red in color. After puzzled looks and realizing the warden knew more than they thought he did, the two men confessed and multiple citations are pending. Over Limits, Over Line A Williamson County game warden received an Operation Game Thief call about people who were shooting over a property line in Jonah. When the warden arrived at the location, he was unable to locate shooters. game wardens received a call in the early morning hours from the local sheriff s office regarding a traffic stop conducted by state troopers at the Department of Public Safety. The sheriff s office advised the warden that in the trunk of the car was a live deer. When they arrived, the wardens noticed a .22-caliber rifle, two pellet guns, several flashlights, and a live mature doe in the trunk. After interviewing the subjects and examining the doe, the wardens could tell the deer had been shot with the .22-caliber rifle. The subjects admitted to hunting deer at night and using their car headlights to spotlight and shoot the doe from the roadway. All four subjects were taken to Shelby County Jail. Corny Excuse While patrolling the Trinity River during the opening day of teal season, Trinity County game wardens heard several shotgun shots coming from the other side of a hill covered in goat weed. The wardens walked in and found two dove hunters. The hunters were very surprised and immediately began walking towards the wardens. When asked for hunting licenses, the hunters were extremely nervous and had a hard time removing their licenses from the pouches. The wardens asked the hunters why they were so nervous and if there was anything they needed to know about. The hunters replied no and said the last time they were checked in this county they were hunting ducks with lead shot and received citations. While the hunters were speaking to a warden separately, the other warden began searching the area by the hunters folding chairs. The warden found corn on the ground in the area where they were hunting. The hunters denied knowing anything about the corn. Citations for hunting over bait were issued.

GBRA to hold public meeting addressing Hydrilla control

Cannon News Services SEGUINThe Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) will host a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10 in the Belmont Community Center on Hwy 90A West in Belmont to discuss treatment measures for controlling the growth and spread of hydrilla in the Guadalupe River below Seguin. Presentations will be made by GBRA and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Hydrilla is a rooted, submerged aquatic plant. An overabundance of this invasive non-native plant can negatively affect water quality and fish populations. It grows in large mats by way of underground stems. It is easily spread by clippings that break loose and float downstream or by attaching to boat propellers. It clogs water intakes, and boat slips, waterfronts and canals. It can grow so dense that it poses a safety hazard for skiers and boaters. Landowners along the river downstream of Seguin, as well as recreational and other river users, are encouraged to attend this meeting. For specific information about the meeting, contact Debbie Magin, GBRA Director of Water Quality Services, at 830-379-5822 or email dmagin@gbra.org. The GBRA was established by the Texas Legislature in 1933 as a water conservation and reclamation district. GBRA provides stewardship for the water resources in its 10-county statutory district, which begins near the headwaters of the Guadalupe and Blanco rivers, ends at San Antonio Bay, and includes Kendall, Comal, Hays, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Gonzales, DeWitt, Victoria, Calhoun, and Refugio counties.
