District looks at site for new high school

By DAVE MUNDY
manager@gonzalescannon.com

Gonzales school trustees on Monday began the process of acquiring a tract of land which could eventually serve the district as the location for a new high school. Trustees approved the purchase of an option on the land, a 49.28acre tract north of the current Tex-

Superintendent Dr. Kim Strozier said the districts projections of enrollment indicate the next facility need would be a new high school. A large part of the bond package approved by voters was for renovations and expansion at Gonzales High School, but the superintendent said that by 2020, even that might not be enough. By 2020 we should have about

500 more students, she said. If we continue to grow, in 5-7 years we will have to look at that. GISDs largest class increases at present are at the lower elementary level, but as those students advance through the system the capacity at higher grade levels will become strained.

The Gonzales County Tax Assessor-Collectors office will be getting some new digs in the RandleRather Building after county commissioners on Monday approved purchase of the facility. County government is experiencing growth in connection with the population and economic growth throughout the Eagle Ford Shale region. Tax Assessor-Collector Crystal Cedillo told commissioners during Mondays meeting

her office processed 7,972 motor vehicle registrations in the first quarter of 2014 a rather staggering number for a county with only around 25,000 residents at the last census. County Judge David Bird said the county will spend about $700,000 for the Randle-Rather Building and would begin renovation work following an engineering study.

her head held high. She was proud of her family heritage and extremely proud of her own family. She imparted her Christian values to her children and granddaughter by living a Christian life by example. She taught them to be independent, self sufficient and loving and caring for the needs of others. Though she struggled physically at times, she never complained, possibly because she weighed her ailments against those with far worse conditions. Ruby Ruth Gandre was a loving and caring woman of God. She shared in a ministry of helping others in their time of great sorrow with the staff of Seydler-Hill Funeral Home where she had given of herself for 38 years of dedicated service. She was one of three women on staff that for many years unselfishly put the needs of others before their own, because they simply loved people and held an innate need to serve those who mourn. Ruby Ruth was full of life, she loved laughter, but she knew well the verse from Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn. Ruby Ruth Gandres robust compassion for others will always be celebrated in memory and sorely missed in the funeral service profession. Ruby Ruth is survived by her loving daughters, Nancy Jane Gandre of Ar-

Luling ordinance focuses on cleaning properties

Luling
LULING City Manager Mark Mayo opened the April 10 Luling City Council meeting by saying, We are making a very hard effort at cleanup. In order to facilitate quicker cleanup of unsanitary, unsightly conditions on private property as described in Article III, Section 58 of Ordinance 2014-O-05, the time to comply after receiving a Notice to remove or remedy is shortened from ten days to seven days. If the owner does not comply, the city has the right to make the improvements and charge the property owner the cost of abatement. The city may also, without prior notice, abate weeds higher than 48 inches that are an immediate danger to the public. In addition, amended subsections 106-321, 106-346, and 106-350 address abandoned vehicle abatement. The subsection, replaced in its entirety, provides for ten-day notice to abate and remove the abandoned vehicle. County Commissioner Fred Bucholtz spoke in favor of appropriating SH130 and/ or CAMPO funds for a feasibility study of alternate traffic routes of SH183 and SH80, regarding possible addition of a fifth lane or an overpass. Mayor Mike Hendricks said, We asked TxDOT to do a study in the past, but never heard anything back. Maybe this is the thing to get the answer. Councilman James Nichols expressed concern about being tied to the findings of the study. Mike Aulick, PTP of Aulick and Associates, assured Nichols the study would not bind the city to any particular solution. The council voted in favor of appropriating the funds for a TxDOT feasibility study. The council reviewed three bids for two 3/4-ton regular cab pickup trucks. While Luling Chevrolet, the highest of the three bids and the only local bidder, came in over $5,000 higher than the lowest bidder, the council approved the Luling Chevrolet bid with the preference of using a local company.

tee. During the citizen comment period, Susan Stewart expressed concern over the proposed landfill at SH130 and FM 1185, just north of Lockhart. She encouraged the Council to attend the TECQ hearing scheduled for May 8. The council also acted on the following agenda items: - Adopted the Texas Community Development Block Grant (TxCDBG) Section 3 Policy for Economic Opportunities for Low-and very low-income persons.

the district in the past in science-technology career education and in some instances had already developed potential curriculum. We also spoke with someone from another school district in our area that already has coursework, she said. The Texas Education Agency has already endorsed some of these courses. Completion of the courses will make students qualified to take on many of the jobs in the oilfields. Once theyve been through this, theyll be able to go straight into the workforce, she said. The district continues to partner with Victoria College-Gonzales on a number of vocational-technical courses such as welding, and Strozier said the institutions are also looking at adding instrumentation classes in the future.

Nevada standoff: our Come and Take It moment

The parallels between what happened last week in Nevada and what happened here in Gonzales in the fall of 1835 are easily identifiable. In both instances, a government drunk on its own supposed power attempted to use a show of force to bully civilians into compliance with unjust edicts. In both instances, government intimidation drew an unexpected response militiamen poured in to defend liberty. In both instances, the power-drunk government was forced to withdraw when it found itself heavily outnumbered by an armed populace. And while the Nevada situation was resolved without gunfire, it is very clear that Bundy Ranch will share with Gonzales, Texas, and Lexington, Mass., the distinction of having been the starting point of revolutions. Most remarkable about the Bundy Ranch situation is that the oftenvilified Patriot militia movement exercised commendable restraint time and time again throughout the siege.

menter, citing a source within the Department of Homeland Security, said that the withdrawal of the federals came about because the militiamen who converged on the site by the thousands not only exceeded expectations but also refused to react in the expected manner to provocations. The commenter said he was told the entire situation was designed to provoke the Patriot movement into discrediting itself by doing something rash, and that when it became clear the militiamen werent going to take the bait, the federals were left with a choice of either withdrawing or starting the shooting.

Hypocrites and liars

There is a big credibility gap haunting the liberals and Democrats, and it seems to be getting bigger and wider from Washington D.C. to Texas. Susan Ferrechio with the Washington Examiner reported how the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., obtained records from the Internal Revenue Service which show communications between the office of ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., about True the Vote, a Texas-based, non-profit conservative group. Issa accused the panels top Democrat of prompting the IRS in 2012 to target a conservative organization applying for non-profit status. This is shocking when you consider a high ranking elected government official coordinating with a federal agency to keep citizens from voting or being involved in the election process. Cummings, an African American, should be sensitive to any prevention of citizens voting or being involved the election process. Hes a hypocrite. Here are a few examples of the credibility gap that extends deep into the heart of Texas. This week, El Paso state senator Jose Rodriguez showed some phony indignation after the TexasMexico border was describe as out of control and as a war zone in state hearings in Austin. He and other liberals ignore the thousands of illegal aliens that are apprehended on a monthly basis by the Border Patrol. He also ignores the violence and criminal activity on both sides of the border that includes murder and human and drug trafficing. State senator Leticia Van De Putte, another liberal, is touring Texas to listen to Texans as part of her campaign for Lieutenant Governor. Meanwhile, Texans living in her own senate district in San Antonio are demanding a meeting with her to discuss how she could sponsor legislation

the information from this source, that it is a critical task to create a situation that will also advance their agenda of gun control and confiscation, the commenter said in a report on Sunday. It was never about grazing rights or anything other than (1) securing clear title to the land, and (2) further demonizing any patriotic resistance. While a victory for the militia movement, the Bundy Ranch standoff also served as a massive victory for independent and alternative media. The mainstream media pretty much ignored and downplayed the story until the final hours of the siege, covering the backsides of corrupt government officials. The Bureau of Land Management initially reported the whole situation was about grazing fees and protecting a tortoise, and the mainstream news media swallowed that without question. But the alternative news media created a public relations problem for Washingon when these amateur journalists revealed the truth. It was the alternative news me-

dia not CBS, NBC, ABC, the New York Times and Washington Post which found the tell-tale smoking gun about Bundy Ranch: that Nevada Sen. Harry Reid and his son had an agreement to sell the land in question to a Chinese company (read that: the government of Communist China) to build a huge solar power farm. Were Reid a Republican, wed have already seen CNN howling for his immediate resignation. And it was the alternative news media which showed America the chilling impact of federal government run amok: pictures of cordoned-off First Amendment Areas where the federals expected protesters to gather meekly while they exercised martial law everywhere else in the area. While the Nevada situation has been resolved peacefully for now what happened there is very likely to spawn other similar situations. The Bureau of Land Management is busy scooping up some 90,000 acres of Texas land along the Red River, for example.

And a number of folks from the Permian Basin I spoke with during this weekends Texicon 2014 in San Antonio told me that ranchers and landowners throughout West Texas are already receiving the same kind of intimidation mail from BLM, the EPA and other agencies over the newly-declared habitat of the prairie chicken that Clive Bundy received over some obscure desert tortoise. Theres one letter that told us we cant use a particular road any more, because thats protected land now, one landowner from the Big Spring area said. Thats a road that my family built and weve been using it since the 1940s. Its my road and Ill use it if I want to. This federal administration has already shown it will use federal resources to achieve partisan political objectives. The time is not far off when we will all have to decide whether we will live in fear of our government or we will grow enough backbone to tell Washington: Come and Take It!

which prohibits citizens from voting on certain issues sucha s a downtown street car line in San Antonio. Imagine a Texas legislator sponsoring legislation that outright prevents citizens from voting! Van De Putte is also a hypocrite because she opposes Voter ID law claiming it prevents citizens from voting. Then there is San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro who spoke at the LBJ Librarys Civil Rights Summit in Austin this week. Castro spoke of illegal aliens civil rights while he asked Van de Putte and state representative Mike Villarreal to push the legislation that prohibited the citizens of his city from voting on certain issues. Castro is a hypocrite for speaking for civil rights for non-citizens while ignoring the citizens of his own city. Finally, there is U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro, the Mayors twin brother, who attend a Final Day Push event for getting people to sign up for Obamacare. Castro desperatly tried to put a good face on the event (not to mention the law), but in the end it was flawed... just like Obamacare. The computers crashed, the people waited for hours, and most did not get the health coverage they wanted. Who cares about the facts when your agenda can be furthered with fiction? Lets recall the famous statement by the Liarin-Chief on June 15, 2009, when President Obama told us, That means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health -care plan, youll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what. On November 5, 2013, Obama said: Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasnt changed since the law passed. These liberal Democrats must be reading off the same page or they have lost the moral compass that prevents them from differentiating between fact and fiction. Or are they just hypocrites?

Every time the Supreme Court rules in favor of the First Amendment in a campaign-finance case, the left recoils in disgust. The courts 5-4 decision in McCutcheon v. FEC is the latest occasion for the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth. The court struck down the limit on the aggregate amount a donor can give to candidates and political-party committees, ruling it incompatible with First Amendment protections for political expression. The left pronounced itself outraged. The First Amendment is for strippers, flag burners, pornographers, funeral protesters and neo-Nazis, but not for people trying to give money to political parties or candidates. In his decision for the court, Chief Justice John Roberts noted that contributing to a candidate is political participation just like volunteering for a campaign or urging others to vote. Money in politics may at times seem repugnant to some, Roberts writes, but so too does much of what the First Amendment vigorously protects. The decision in McCutcheon should have been a slam-dunk. Campaign-finance law limits how much a single donor can give in an election cycle to $5,200 for a federal candidate and $64,800 for a party committee. The court let these so-called base limits stand on grounds that under the landmark Buckley v. Valeo decision, direct contributions to candidates hold the greatest possibility for creating corruption.

But if you accept the base limits, the aggregate limits on the total anyone can give to candidates in a single cycle ($48,600) and to party committees and PACs in a single cycle ($74,600) make no sense. By the logic of the law, if a contribution to one candidate of $5,200 or less is not corrupting, there should be no fear that a donor giving a couple of dozen candidates that amount will be corrupting. Each of the candidates is receiving the proscribed amount or less. Once a donor hits the aggregate limit, though, it functions as an outright ban on further donations to candidates or parties -- even though these donations arent corrupting. This is an impingement of his political rights without any upside of preventing graft. The critics of the decision object to it partly on egalitarian grounds: Very few donors have the resources to contribute enough to bump up against the aggregate limits, so the decision gives disproportionate influence to a few people. A free political system always has such disparities. At the root of the lefts opposition to McCutcheon, and Citizens United before it, is that it reduces governmental control over the political process. That control is taken, ipso facto, to be a good thing. Remember: The position of the Obama administration in oral arguments over Citizens United was that the government could ban books printed by corporations. Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader, has proposed amending the First Amendment to give the government more latitude to limit political expression. In his decision, Roberts writes that the First Amendment is designed and intended to remove governmental restraints from the arena of public discussion, putting the decision as to what views should be voiced largely into the hands of each of us. For those lamenting the decision, that is precisely the problem. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.(c) 2014 by King Features Synd., Inc.

In Your View
The Cannon
I have been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a home Lifes Been Good to Me Rod McKuen Come Saturday, the Good Lord willing, Ill turn 70. To become a septuagenarian. To put it in perspective: In dog years I passed away over five decades ago. On several occasions during this journey through life I have been queried, If you could live your life over again, would you change anything about it? Id answer, Except for a few missteps in the mating game Id like to white-out. Merely ricochet romances. All-in-all, no.You see, lifes been good to me. Overall. For the first 50 years of my existence I was what one would label a rover. Never idle enough for a cobweb to spin. Once I was graduated from high school it was one college after another and as a young adult one job after another. Where Id pocket pay running a beer joint, driving a Rainbo bread truck, selling insurance, stealing cars (repo man) then it was off to a strange little war in a strange little country. On the return to the what was considered The World to a GI it was another stab at college. To study journalism. A field of study that would be the genesis for more of my journeys. A half dozen jobs at Texas newspapers and a public relations stint with the Job Corps were added to my itinerant resume. Side trips up to Wyoming and New Mexico plying my vocation also was in store. Didnt mind the nomadic life cause nouns people, places and things happened to be the name of the newspaper mans game. It was as if I were following a Pied Pipers swan song. Moving from one story to another. As a reporter and as a man I have been blessed to have had enough sense to let scuttlebutt and bar-whispers go right through the ear canals because I put a lot of truck in truth. Yes, lifes been good to me. And in the Can you top this department, Ill allow I have done my share of hobnobbing. In my time, I have played audience to movie stars and other celebrities. Was in a movie with Robert Redford (The Great Waldo Pepper). Liberace bought me a drink in Amarillo at The Press Club. Johnny Rodriquez on several occasions jugged and jawed with this fellow at the Hall of Fame Inn lounge in Nashville. While with the MACV press corps in Vietnam I accompanied Tarzan (Ron Ely), Ina Balin, Ann B. Davis (The Bob Cummings Show, The Brady Bunch), and the 1969 Miss American troupe on USO tours. At one time or another. Kent Finlay and I opened up Cheatham

Turning 70: starting another chapter in lifes adventure

Jim Cunningham is a former longtime Gonzales newsman and the former interim publisher of the Gonzales Cannon. He now lives in the Moulton area.

This is an edited transcription of an interview with Texas Parks and Wildlifes (TPW) Wildlife Director Clayton Wolf, heard on The News from the Camphouse on KULM 98.3 FM. Brune: Today were going back to our roots. While I often describe the radio program and subsequent column as political conservation, I likewise often get off track and delve into the psychology of politics and policy-making. Our guest today has been with us many times in the past. Clayton Wolf was the Big Game Director at TPW when the antler regulation was put in place as an experiment. He was one of the biologists charged with selling the idea to the wildlife co-ops and to the general public. Nowadays Clayton Wolf is the Wildlife Director for the entire department. But what exactly does that mean? Wolf: Im the Texas director for all the wildlife that walks on the earth. I dont have anything to do with fishing. Im into all the migratory topics and cover all the issues including doves and ducks. And most recently Ive had to deal with endangered species issues. Brune: Do the endangered species issues take you into water issues? Wolf: Sometimes, but we have our own water group that manage our water issues. However, there are a few species that fall into my division. Animals like salamanders are aquatic but they fall under my department heading. So, sometimes water supply and water quality issues that impact species in my division come to our attention. We all know how essential water is as our greatest natural resource. And well all eventually play a part in its allotment and conservation so that municipalities, wildlife, and agriculture will get sustaining amounts of water. Brune: What about programs like the Aransas Project? Thats where the Whooping Cranes died in San Antonio Bay and the members of the project filed legal suit against the Texas Commission of Environmental Control and the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority. Wolf: Well certainly, but the point is that folks may latch on to one species as a focal point. But if in-stream flows are problematic all species suffer. It doesnt matter whether were discussing water fowl, fishing, or bird watching when theres a drought or water shortage all species are subject to have problems. Then, along with in-stream flows we must have enough freshwater inflow reaching our bays and estuaries. We feel fortunate that most Texans enjoy the outdoors and know that a por-

tion of our water resources must go to wildlife, bays and estuaries. Brune: So there is overlap across TPW departments. Because while you have a group that manages water issues, and youre not involved with fisheries, all the departments have a vested interest in Texas water. Wolf: Yes, no doubt that is true. We work with landowners along the Gulf Coast to provide habitat for migratory water fowl. Much of that is flooded rice fields or grass fields. Nevertheless, when we get rain it definitely impacts the numbers of birds that come to the Texas Gulf Coast. Brune: Par for the course, you wanted to talk about the Pittman-Roberson Act and we bailed off into worrying about water. Would you please tell us about the Pittman-Robertson Act? Wolf: Yes this is also known as the Federal Aid and Restoration Act that was passed in 1937. In those days, hunters came forward and asked for this special tax. They were looking for a funding source to pay for wildlife management. The manufacturers also played a role in asking for this tax because everyone was seeing the demise in our wildlife resources. It was an excise tax put on firearms and ammunition. A lot of folks cherished their wildlife resources back in the 1930s even as we do today. A lot of species had been overharvested. Brune: This is a federal tax. Wolf: Yes, this is a federal excise tax. It is not seen when you pay for outdoor products. Its a tax that is assessed to the manufacturer. You may be certain the tax is passed along to the consumer as a percentage added to the sales price. But it doesnt show up on the sales receipt as another tax. Its an 11 percent tax, to manufacturers, on sporting arms and ammunition, and then in 1970 the act was amended to include pistols and revolvers. In 1972 they added archery equipment. Since 1937 this tax has provided Texas with more than $300 million for wildlife restoration and protection. It is a critical part of the Wildlife Division budget. We write grants and the act supports numerous programs such as our Big Horn Sheep restoration program. It funds

The Bible. The #1 top selling book of all time. Everyone is familiar with it; almost every Christian household has at least one copy. There was a time that the bible could be purchased from door-todoor salesmen. As a child I remember one such man coming to our door with a briefcase held tightly to his chest. As he introduced himself to my mother, he placed the case on the ground and opened it; exposing a white leatherbound book with the words Holy Bible embossed in gold on its cover. With great reverence, he slowly turned the pages to the center of the book to reveal the most beautiful pictures Id ever seen. He left our home without it. We wrote our names in the special section for our family history and placed the sacred manuscript on the coffee table for all to see. I flipped through the book often and enjoyed its pictures again and again. To this day, I still have that first Bible. To this day its the artwork, not its words, that I remember affected me the most. The cover on that book should have said: Big Beautiful Book Author: Unknown.

The Bible continues to defy the skeptics

Love, Eloise
Eloise Estes
Dont misunderstand. I came from a religious background and had been taught that the bible was from God. I received water baptism as a child and grew up with high moral values; attending church weekly to hear religious leaders proclaim that such and such a thing should or should not be done because the bible said so. I took these things to heart as most Christian children do. That is, until I got educated. Universities have a way of opening up a world of possibilities to an inquisitive mind; elevating ones intellect and encouraging doubt. Even in Christian universities a young mind may learn that the God of the bible is only one of many higher powers, and that Christ is not God; although he was a very good man and a true prophet. Among the learned, the man and woman of reason are able to think things through without emotion; remaining objective at all times and tolerant of all religious beliefs. The ability to question the soundness of ones faith becomes standard practice among the sophisticated. It is encouraged and it is expected. So my quest for truth began. For decades I questioned the tenets of my particular religion and searched for the meaning of life in the writings of theologians, philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, atheists, agnostics and spiritualists. Excluding the bible, I read and researched everything that looked like it might provide answers to my deepest concerns. I soon discovered that the world abounds in profound ideas and brilliant deductionseach with elements of truth woven into them. Unwary truth-seekers, like myself, often fall into the proverbial rabbit hole of reason, where absolute truth is hidden from sight. During this frustrating journey toward enlightenment I struggled to get through my life as best I couldone day at a time. All the while, everything I needed was in the bible. But how can anyone apply its wisdom when scripture itself is the object in question? Ignorance kept me needlessly imprisoned

our Pronghorn restoration and our migratory birds programs. It also funds our Wildlife Management Areas (WMA). In fact our first WMA was purchased in 1945, Sierra Diablo, with Pittman-Robertson funds. Its a conservation story that hasnt been told enough. Most hunters and fisherman know that when they buy hunting and fishing licenses they are funding Texas Parks and Wildlife. But they may not be familiar with the federal Wildlife Restoration Act. And they should know that when they buy firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment they are funding wildlife restoration throughout the U.S. Its no secret that in the last few years firearms sales have skyrocketed. Justly so, there is more money coming to Texas. Were looking at $30 million coming to Texas next year. Historically, weve always operated around $1517 million a year. And were careful to use that money on one time projects. Were careful to use those funds on projects that invest in Texas but keep us off the hook with obligations into perpetuity. Brune: Is the federal tax money received by TPW from the federal act the same amount as the amount paid by Texans? Wolf: There is a formula. The apportionment is based on the land area vs. the number of hunters. Were one of the few states that receive the maximum amount of the apportionment.

Street Warehouse in San Marcos in 1973 where later a young fella by the name of George Strait got his start there with the Ace in the Hole Band. I was backstage covering the first Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic outside of Dripping Springs when the juicers and the stoners co-existed in the heat and dust. I embrace the knowledge that lifes been good to me. Despite my share of adversity. In the survivor game, and it wasnt staged, I came out on top of numerous mishaps. The Ol Man ran over me with a tractor-trailer full of pigs when I was a tyke; car wreck in 19 and 59 when the Chevy flipped four times; emergency stomach surgery; lung cancer. To tag a few. But all-in-all, its been my nature to pay setbacks no nevermind. Still, in all Im happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Loves been good to me. For the past 38 years life, for this old boy, has indeed been a pleasure. Due to the wonder of a woman I call my wife. Dr. Deb, the dog doc. Since I was 9 years her senior there were a few that figured our marriage wouldnt last any longer than the gestation period of an alley cat. They were wrong. And today, were still motivating. On motorcycles, flying our plane, or just chillin with a good book. No need for small talk. In reflection, on whats transpired in my time here on earth, I can rightfully say that my life has not been rubber stamped. Ive known righteous anger and wallowed in pity. Mistakes, well, Ive registered more than most are allotted. Ive experienced a smidgeon of success, albeit on a limited basis. Made a few friends and a lot of enemies. All-in-all, at this stage and phase, I feel life is a jubilation with occasional psychotic episodes while tilting at windmills. And here I am approaching my 70th year and still penning a column. Some say they still read em and a few even enjoy em. That pleases me. Come Sunday, the Good Lord willing, on April 20th, the day after I turn 70 I anticipate starting another chapter in an unfinished adventure ... down the road.

in my circumstances and powerless against them. Believe me when I say that having to rely on positivetalk and self-help books to get through daily ordeals is an exhausting undertaking. Living is dynamic. Things change by the minute and our raging emotions can easily overpower logic. None of us can go through the many challenges of life without something stronger than ourselves to hold on to and to guide our way. Did I discover truth? I am convinced I did. Nothing else I tried had the power to radically and positively change my life. After half a lifetime of searching in the wrong places I found the secret to fulfillment, lasting peace and contentment in my dusty book. Are you feeling empty and lost? Well, the secrets to a fulfilled life and to making sound judgments are within your reach. The Bible is not a book of unrelated, antiquated fables. It is a divinely inspired book of history, of revelation and our ultimate guide for successful living. Even though it is a collection of 66 books, written by over 40 authors over a period of 2,000 years, the bible is one ELOISE, Page A12

As I have said many times before, we dont get through life without some pain and heartache. Many things weigh on our hearts. From family concerns to financial difficulties, each day brings its challenges. Sometimes health begins to fail and our own mortality begins to loom bigger than ever. If we would be honest, there are times when we are plagued with spiritual doubts and fears. Yet, in the midst of it all, there is always reason to hope in Christ. The Christian faith calls us to hope in the best of times and the worst of times. In every season of life and in the midst of every circumstance imaginable, we can fix our hope steadfastly upon Christ. If we hope in man, in the end we lose. If we hope in money, in the end we lose. If we hope in a political party, in the end we lose. If we hope in our own intellect and ability, in the end we lose. If we hope in our 401k and the stock market, in the end we lose. We must have something that not only offers hope in this life, but also in the life to come. As we prepare to celebrate Resurrection Sunday or Easter whichever you know it as, the optimum word is hope. The Biblical word hope does not leave any room for doubt, it means confident expectation. Hope is the assurance

that what God has promised, He will be faithfully deliver. The Biblical text for the Easter service in our church will be taken from I Peter 1:3-5, Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Just a bit of background. According to the introduction to this portion of Scripture, Peter writes to those of the Dispersion. This means the believers had fled and scattered. They fled under severe persecution. Suffice it to say that circumstances were not easy and pleasant for those to whom Peter originally wrote. Yet, he almost immediately calls his readers to hope.

That should tell us that there is a level of hope that does not depend on the passing, fading, and temporary pleasures of this life. While ours is a day of cheap counterfeits, surface relationships, and fleeting pleasures, Christ calls us to a hope that is real and eternal. Notice the connection between hope and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Easter calls us to hope even in the face of the ultimate enemy of death. For many their hope will die when they do. The hope that Christ gives is eternal hope. Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) The same presence and power that raised Christ from the dead fills the Believer with hope. The Scripture gives no assurance of an easy life. In fact, following Christ may prove to come with many difficulties. We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22) Yet, the follower of Christ must never forget that in everything we face, we walk with the God who raises the dead. That we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead. (II Corinthians 1:9) However, I must hasten to say that not ev-

eryone has this hope. The text says, He has begotten us again to a living hope. (I Peter 1:3) This refers to the new birth. Apart from Christ we are dead in trespasses and sins. Without Christ all are spiritually blind and deaf to the things of God. We are like a corpse that does not respond. We must be given life through Christ. Apart from Christ and the new birth we are without hope. Gods answer to our sin is Christ and Christ alone. The penalty for our sin is death. Christ died in the place of sinners. He took our place as our substitute and paid the penalty of death for sin. As the perfect and sinless sacrifice, He shed His blood that sinners may be reconciled to God. We must face our sin, and cease making excuses. We have rebelled against our Creator God. Yet in love He calls us to turn from our sin and surrender our lives to Christ. Notice that this is all a gift from the mercy of God; Who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again. (I Peter 1:3) It is His work, by His grace and His power. The new birth makes us a new creation. Through Christ we can have new life; an entire new beginning. Only then will our hope be as certain as the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Trust Him! Blessings to you this Easter season.

The Hallettsville Livestock

Cuero Livestock Market Report on April 11, 2014, had 696 head. THERE WILL NOT BE A SALE THIS WEEK APRIL 18, 2014 DUE TO IT BEING GOOD FRIDAY. Had 137 cows and 18 bulls. The packer market was steady with last weeks market. The ;packer market has been mixed all week. The calf market was active on all classes in line with last weeks market. The only weakness was in new crop calves carrying too much flesh. Any thin cattle continue to sell at record levels. Some of the heavier calves over 700 lbs were a little lower. That with the new crop discounts made the market seem lower when in fact it was very strong on all quality classes. Packer Bulls: Hvy. Wts., $100-$124; lower grades, $80-$99. Packer cows: breakers, $65-

The Easter Story in the Gospels

Matthew 28

1: Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre. 2: And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. 3: His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. 4: And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5: But the angel said to the women, Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6: He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7: Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you. 8: So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

John 20

Mark 16

1: And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2: And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3: And they were saying to one another, Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb? 4: And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; -- it was very large. 5: And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. 6: And he said to them, Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him. 7: But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.

Luke 24

1: But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. 2: And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3: but when they went in they did not find the body. 4: While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; 5: and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6: Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7: that the Son of man must be delivered into

1: Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2: So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him. 3: Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. 4: They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first; 5: and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6: Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying, 7: and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. 8: Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9: for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10: Then the disciples went back to their homes. 11: But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; 12: and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13: They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him. 14: Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15: Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek? Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away. 16: Jesus said to her, Mary. She turned and said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni!

Accident creates tense moments for drivers

Thursday, April 17, 2014

On April 9 at about 3:45 p.m., the crane of a delivery truck struck

power lines after delivering roofing shingles at Yellow Rose Way and Seydler Ave. The San Antonio-based West End delivery truck

is outfitted with a crane to assist lifting the shingles up to the roof. The crane was accidentally left in the upright position, striking the power

lines as the truck exited the Lous Garden Housing Development. This created a chain of events: a small grass fire was ignited by the sparks, two

poles were pushed to 45-degree angles dropping active power lines across Seydler, which in turn landed on a passing car. Crissy ONeal, the driver of the passing car struck by power lines, was terrified. Sparks were flying! Thats when I got scared and started crying, she said. Im still shaking. Despite her frightened state, ONeal was quick to call 911. She was unharmed, but her car sustained minor damage to the paint and some of the electronics. The remorseful truck driver, Steve DeLeon, didnt hesitate to accept the blame. It was my fault, he said. Ive been doing this for two years, and I always do it in a specific order, first putting down the jacks, and then the crane. I just forgot the crane was in the air. Thinking everything was in place, he began the

drive back to San Antonio, unaware the crane was still in a raised position until it was too late. I heard the explosion, saw sparks flying, and then saw the second pole leaning at a 45-degree angle, said DeLeon. DeLeon and his helper stayed in the truck until they were given the all clear when the power supply was cut to the area. The electrical power remained out for several hours in the neighborhood, and as far-reaching as HEB and WB Farm and Ranch Supply. In addition to the citys first responders, City Manger Allen Barnes and GVEC were quick to respond. Pony poles were quickly erected to brace the two tilting power poles, to assist in the restoration of power. Power was restored within a few hours and the poles were scheduled for repair the next day.

COUNTY: IT service draws GISD: Construction manager selected for district projects commissioners concerns

they may want to consider hiring a fulltime information technology person because several upgrades and replacements of county computer equipment is behind schedule. Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Darryl Becker said that poor response time by the countys current IT services provider has left his office at the county annex having to share resources with agencies outside the county. Sheriff Glen Sachtleben agreed, saying that At best, were getting no service out of Nixon. I have equipment still sitting on the floor in my office, it still hasnt been installed. The reports generated out of this system are very important, that information is shared with the DA, the county attorney and the auditor. We may have reached the point where we need our own IT person, Becker said. Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Deidra

Voigt said she was told that following the death of the companys owner, the countys current IT services company has been left without leadership. Commissioners opted to have Judge Bird send a letter to the company ownership requiring its presence at the next Commissioners Court meeting. In other action Monday, Commissioners: Approved a part-time, one-day-perweek position for the County Judges office; Approved an exception to the countys subdivision rules to enable a landowner to cede part of his property to his son to build a home on; Approved the deputation of clerks in the County Clerks and District Clerks offices; Approved a one-time stipend of $600 for bailiffs serving at the County Courthouse for purchase of their uniforms; Approved the purchase of 11 loads of road product.

ELOISE: Bible retains relevancy

Continued from page A5

perfectly unified book with one single consistent theme. From Genesis to Revelation an interwoven and intricate story unfolds, about the creation and redemption of all things, through Jesus Christ. No real mistake has ever been demonstrated in the Biblein science, in history, or in any other subject. Over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament were fulfilled by Christ Himself. The probability of only 48 of these predictions being fulfilled 100% correctly is 1 in 10 57, yet they all happened just as predicted. In his discussion of the New Testaments historical validity, Josh McDowell reports: There are more than 5,686 known [partial or complete] Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Add over 10,000 Latin Vulgate and at least 9,300 other early versions [manuscripts], and we have close to, if not more than, 25,000 manuscript copies of portions of the New Testament in

existence today. No other document of antiquity even begins to approach such numbers and attestation. In comparison, Homers Illiad is second, with only 643 manuscripts that still survive. (McDowell, The New Evidence That Demands A Verdict, p. 34) Manuscripts of these ancient documents (many of which were written by non-Christians and opposed to Christ) have been found to be 99.5% accurate. Why bother with evidence if salvation comes by faith? Because God tells us that we should always be prepared to give people reasons for our belief. (1 Peter 3:15) This is not to say that the Bible should be strained through the sieve of science; however those who are scientifically learned but biblically ignorant require valid reasons to believe. The key to complete spiritual freedom is a full understanding of truth. God keep you safe till next time... love, eloise Friend me on: facebook loveeloise or visit www.loveeloise.com

ing, Trustees also approved the Cuerobased firm of Weaver & Jacobs to serve as construction-manager-at-risk for the districts expansion projects, whichw ill primarily involve work at the high school and converting the recently-purchased old HE-B facility on St. Joseph St. into an earlychildhood center. The board also backed an administration recommendation against participation in the federal Community Eligibility Program. The CEP provides an alternative approach for offering school meals to schools in low income areas, instead of collecting individual applications for free and reduced price meals, allowing schools that predominantly serve low-income children to offer free school meals to all students through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Food service director Haley Ratliff told the board that while GISD has a large number of economically disadvantaged students, at this time its cost-prohibitive for the district. Its really not a financially good decision for the district. The board also learned that administrators are studying the potential need for more activity buses. Deputy superintendent Larry Wehde told board members that school organizations have actively utilized the smaller white activity buses, and after the recent alignment of districts by the University Interscholastic League GISD anticipates several trips requiring two or more hours of travel in the next school year. We need about 180 days lead time if

were going to order two more, he said. I also wanted to mention that Ive been told by the band director that hes expecting to grow from four band buses to five this next year, so were going to go out and get some numbers to bring back to you. During the public comment portion, youth minister Seth Pittman of First Baptist Church asked the board to consider authorizing a change in policy concerning school activities during traditional churchservice hours. Pittman, part of a ministerial coalition called Fusion, asked the board to enact policy restricting school activity on Wednesdays after 5 p.m. and to ensure that no school-sponsored activities take place on Sundays. During Mondays meeting, the board also: Approved the school calendar for the 2014-15 school year, to include 175 instructional days, six early-release days and five staff-development days. The calendar also moves Spring Break forward to coincide with the start of Gonzales Livestock Show activities; Certified that board president Glen Menking (District 3), Ross Hendershot III (District 5) and Sue Gottwald (District 6) were unopposed in the scheduled May 10 election and canceled the election; Approved the instructional materials allotment and TEKS certification for the 2014-15 textbook adoption for math in grades pre-K through 8 and science in all grades; Approved the setup of the districts Community Engagement Survey, to be reported to the public in August.

Suspects flee after crashing stolen vehicle in county

A DPS spokesman said a trooper was on patrol Sunday morning westbound on I-10 in Gonzales County. The trooper pulled behind a white Ford F-250 pickup truck and ran the license plate. The truck came back as stolen out of Houston. The truck continued westbound on I-10, exiting SH80 northbound toward Luling as the trooper followed. After exiting on 80, the truck crashed through a gate into a field, and clipped guide wires on a power pole, causing a power outage to portions of Luling. The truck crashed into a mesquite tree and came to a stop. Two males exited the vehicle and took off on foot. The trooper did not search for the suspects until backup arrived. Luling Police arrived and assisted in the search through the heavy brush, but the suspects were not found. They remain at large.

When it came down to searching for a suitable college, Gonzales senior track athlete Danyelle Glass pretty much had her mind made up: Texas State University in San Marcos. Glass signed a letter of intent to compete on the Lady Bobcat track and field team as a pole vaulter on Tuesday. I am very excited to have signed with Texas State, Glass said. It is a really good program and it is nice to be able to vault at a higher level than just high school. Their program is very strong and still going. I really like all the coaches. They are very helpful and very supportive. Glass said she hopes to make contributions to the track team as a freshman, considering she is still new to pole vaulting. I hope to make an im-

pact. I am still growing in vaulting because I just started last school year, she said. Glass said no other programs contacted her to see if she would be interested in competing for them. I had my mind made up on Texas State, she said. It is where I want to go. Glass would not be the first in her family to Texas State University. Her mother, Linda Glass, also attended the school as well as her grandfather, Frank Pekar. She also likes the relative proximity of San Marcos to Gonzales. I do not want to be far from home, Glass said. She said she wants to either pursue physical therapy or radiation therapy. During her time as a Gonzales Apaches, Glass has participated in volleyball, track and cheerleading. Glass has placed in the top two at several meets this year, including earning

Everyone is real helpful and kind, Glass said. She hinted at the possibility of trying out for the Texas State University cheerleading squad.

The Gonzales baseball team came within three outs of its first district win as they led Giddings 3-2 going into the top of the seventh inning. But an error and five Buffaloes hits contributed to Giddings scoring nine runs to beat Gonzales 11-3 The team that made the fewest mistakes won the game, Gonzales head coach Larry Wuthrich said. We forced the issue and made mistakes. The Apaches excelled at defense in the first three innings with three up and three down in the first and second innings with Giddings getting its first hit in the third but did not score. Our starting pitcher (Brant Philippus) was throwing strikes and the defense did well, Wuthrich said. In two of the first

three innings, Philippus had single-digit pitch counts.. He is learning to pitch and helped keep us in the game. In the first four innings, the Apaches collected about four hits and scored three runs in the fourth. We bunched up some hits and put the ball into play, Wuthrich said. In the bottom of the fourth, Philippus got a oneout single. He stole second and went to third on the single by DJ Gonzales. Philippus beat the throw home to put the Apaches ahead 1-0. Zach Perez-Clack singled to right field to score Gonzales. Alyas Ramirez hit a fly ball for two outs and Blake Cox reached first on the error and got to second on another error that allowed Perez-Clack to score. In the top of the sixth, Justin Herzog and Garrett Oltmann got base hits to

start things for Giddings. Zach Albers was struck out and Cody Medack was walked to load the bases. Kyle Jones singled to right field to score Herzog and Oltmanns runner Dalton Mitschke. Medack was thrown out at third to retire the side. The Buffaloes defense forced Gonzales to go three up and three down to stay within one run. In the top of the seventh for Giddings, Joey Satterfield got a leadoff walk. He moved to second on the sacrifice by Ty Kasper. Herzog reached first and Satterfield got to third on the error. He later stole home to knot the game at 3-3. Oltmann flew out to right field for two outs, and Albers followed with a bunt single to score Herzog and went to second on the throw. Medack and Kyle Jones both were walked. Albers was able to advance

home and the triple by Stone Clopton scored Medack and Jones to put Giddings ahead 7-3. Ryan Garcia was hit by the pitch and the single by Satterfield sent Clopton home. Kasper batted in Garcia and Herzog got a two-run single to put Giddings ahead 11-3. Oltmann grounded out to third base for the final out. For the Apaches in the bottom of the seventh, Dalton Kuntschik got a leadoff single and went to second on the sacrifice but Giddings got two straight outs to end the game.

The meta horror film Found Footage 3D has inked a deal for its scary cabin in the woods. The cabin, which comprises the setting for about 90 percent of the film, is located on a 300 acre ranch near Gonzales. Given that every horror movie ever made takes place in a scary cabin in the woods, it was surprisingly difficult to find the perfect location, says writer/director Steven DeGennaro. But after almost a year of searchingstarting last July before we shot our teaser trailerweve fi-

nally found it. The filmmakers even launched a contest, offering fans a $1,000 prize to the person who could refer them to the ideal setting. In the end, it came through one of their ownactor/director/producer Justin Meeks, who co-directed 2012s Butcher Boys, which was written and produced by FF3D producer Kim Henkel of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre fame. The remainder of the film will be shot in Austin, Dale, and one other to-be-determined Central Texas location. Found Footage 3D will shoot for three and a half weeks beginning in late May.

Project Grad planning underway

The night of the biggest event in the lives of local graduating seniors will be May 30, Graduation Exercises at Apache Field. Years ago the Texas Dept. of Transportation planned an event that would be a huge success in saving lives of our youth as they venture out in the adult world of fast and careless traffic and possibly drinking and driving. TxDot will be supporting the plans in Gonzales with a grant donation to the Pilot Club. So now approximately 20 years later, many towns, cities and communities have been giving the parties for our graduates. Pilot Club of Gonzales, Texas is in its 14th year for Project Graduation and were celebrating with Apache Dynasty 2014 Project Graduation. It will be an evening, night and early morning of all kinds of fun and games. We believe in providing games that can earn them money while they dance, sing, and enjoy a great DJ production, eat all their favorite foods, soft drinks and all in an atmosphere of adult oversight thats unobtrusive. Theyll each get a commemorative tee shirt and the more they participate, the more money they can win. The Grand Prize will be $500 given in a drawing they all can enter. Each youth may bring a guest but only GHS Seniors are eligible to win money. The Apache Dynasty dcor will be in full force at Disciples Conference Center and the swimming pool can be in use all night long. Buses
