SAN ANTONIO Te production
of oil and natural gas in the Eagle Ford

Shale generated more than $87 billion in
total economic output for the state last
year, according to a study released Tues-
day by Te University of Texas at San
Antonio (UTSA) Institute for Economic
Development. UTSA researchers also
concluded that shale activity supported
almost 155,000 full-time equivalent jobs
and provided more than $4.4 billion to
local and state governments in 2013.
UTSA projects that by 2023 the re-
gion will support more than 196,000 jobs
and generate more than $137 billion for
Texas. Tese new numbers exceed what
was projected in previous studies due
to the attraction of new manufacturing
projects associated with natural gas and
additional processing, refning and port
facilities. Te economic output of the re-
gion is forecast to continue solid growth
long-term, considering current trends of
stable energy prices and industry inno-
vation.
Te study, UTSAs fourth, examined
the economic impact of the Eagle Ford
Shale on the 21 counties directly and
indirectly involved in production. Te
15 core counties where activity is most
prevalent are Atascosa, Bee, DeWitt,
Dimmit, Frio, Gonzales, Karnes, La Salle,
Lavaca, Live Oak, Maverick, McMullen,
Webb, Wilson and Zavala. Te six neigh-
boring counties where signifcant activ-
ity not including extraction is occurring
are Bexar, Jim Wells, Nueces, San Patri-
cio, Uvalde and Victoria.
To date, oil and condensate production
in the Eagle Ford Shale has grown from
581 barrels per day in 2008 to more than
1.5 million barrels per day as of August
2014, continuing to exceed expectations
and attracting more capital investments
than any shale feld in the United States.
Tat economic growth is making com-
munity sustainability a more achievable
goal.
Te immense economic development
is providing the wherewithal to address
Teyre in their teens now, but the Gon-
zales Learning and Career Center is still
growing.
GLCC board members and supporters
gathered Tuesday at the American legion
Hall in Gonzales to observe the 15th anni-
versary of the organization which is dedi-
cated to providing education and work-
force services to Gonzales County.
Te celebration was particularly poi-
gnant because recent changes to state law
moved funding for community education
agencies like GLCC from the Texas Educa-
tion Association to the Texas Workforce
Commission this year, and the result has
been a drying-up of grant monies from the
state. GLCC exists now primarily funded
by donations from the local community.
Te Learning Center is so many peo-
ple, director Ann Gaines Rodriguez said.
I wonder if they (volunteers, stafers and
board members) know how much those
people appreciate them. Im here to tell
them, people still remember all youve
done.
Te center began in 1999 with Julie
Fairchild as director and an emphasis on
GED classes and English instruction. Ro-
driguez noted the center has helped more
than 2500 individuals advance their learn-
ing over the years, from GED instruction
to language instruction. Te rapid advanc-
es in technology has been matched by the
GLCCs evolving mission, with the center
now providing GED tutoring for students,
many of whom can access GED materials
online.
We have a program called BYOD (Bring
Your Own Device), she said. Tey can ac-
cess the learning from their phone or pad.
Last year 52 people earned their GED

COME AND TAKE IT!
Old Gallows come down
Workmen begin the disassembly of the gallows on the second foor of the Old Jail Museum in
Gonzales on Tuesday. The structure is being replaced by a replica gallows which is more accu-
rate to what was there,said Gonzales County Historical Commission member Sandra Wolf, who
heads up the museum project for the GCHC. I know, my brother is the one who took it down on
Jan. 1, 1951.She explained the gallows seen here are more something youd see outside ,while
the replica to replace it will be true to the original, in which a condemned prisoner walked to the
edge of a ledge on the third foor and was pushed of rather than standing on a trapdoor. Wolf
said the current structure prohibits access to the third foor where the Death Row cells were lo-
cated, and the replica structure will also be safer because visitors wont be able to actually climb
on the structure. Were just trying to make sure that what we put in there is accurate, Wolf
said. Were bringing back what we need from the arhcives as we need it. The goal is to make it
a destination museum. She said the replacement project is expected to be complete this week
in plenty of time for next weeks Come and Take It visitors. Nonetheless, she said, Its kind of
creepyto restore a structure used to execute people. (Photo by Dave Mundy)

Gonzales County Economic De-
velopment Corp. directors on Mon-
day approved the early payment of a
previously-approved loan to a busi-
ness which has run into unexpected
issues in trying to complete its proj-
ect, then took a look at how to avoid
those surprises in the future.
The GEDC board approved by
a 5-1 vote amending the contract
for the final $50,000 payment to
the Come and Take It Proprties
project. That project is developing
the old Dilworth Building into a
bed nd breakfast atop the La Bella
Tavola Restaurant. Economic De-
velopment Director Carolyn Gibson
Baros told the board that while the
restaurant opened Monday, the bed
and breakfast has run into both con-
tractor problemns and unexpected
expenses and was seeking the final
loan payment ahead of being issued
a certificate of occupancy.
The board approved amending
the contract to forward the final
payment after debating for several
minutes whether or not to set a
deadline on the project. A motion to
approve the payment upon receipt
of receipts for other expenses paid
so far passed, with director Dennis
Nesser casting the nay vote.
Im not saying Im against it, but
I think we set a bad precedent, he
explained.
Directors held a workshop to dis-
cuss several situations which have
arisen as part of the small-business
incentive grant process. Gibson-
Baros said that these projects have
been delayed at the last minute
when city inspections have turned
up a need for expensive fire supres-
sion systems that were not previous-
ly included in construction plans.
I think we need to include a
provision in the contract (for the
grants) that before the grant process
ever starts they need to have met
with all the city people to make sure
the entire project is complete, she
said.
Board president Nathan Neuse
announced he would be meeting
with the architect for the EDCs
planned small-business incubation/
GEDC offices center on St. George
Street. He noted that the project has
experienced delays similar to those
of other organizations on construc-
tion, in part because of the demand
for workers in the Eagle Ford Shale.

We sometimes joke about
the many things we use that
have these words imprinted
on them: Made in China.
Tere is, however, a product
that has been around for at
least ffy years that I only wish
had been produced elsewhere.
Im talking about what some
have called the prosper-
ity gospel or the health and
wealth gospel. Sadly, its roots
are in Americaprobably be-
cause it could not have been
birthed in areas where sufer-
ing and poverty are faced each
day. By the way, it is not the
true gospel; it is a distortion of
the true biblical gospel.
While it would take nu-
merous articles to expose the
many errors in this move-
ment, I will summarize it in
the following way. Te pros-
perity gospel teaches that not
only does Christ ofer forgive-
ness of sin to all that repent
and believe upon Him, but
that in Christ there is the pro-
vision for health and material
prosperity. Christian leader
Michael Horton exposes the
error of the movement in this
way, We are, by nature, pa-
gan. Either our religion will
transform us or we will trans-
form our religion to suit our
sympathies. It is to trivialize
greatly the work of Christ to
suggest that God the Father
sent His only-begotten Son
into the world to bear the
worlds blasphemy, insults,
and violence, and most of all,
to bear the Fathers wrath, all
for increased cash fow and
fewer bouts with asthma. It
is to make a joke out of the
great displeasure, anger, and
wrath God has toward sin
and sinful persons. Gods real
problem, say the faith teach-
ers, is not that we are wicked,
selfsh, God-hating rebels who
deserve eternal punishment,
but that we arent enjoying
ourselves!
Te modern movement
traces its roots to men like
E.W. Kenyon and Kenneth
Hagin. Te mantel has now
fallen to popular fgures like
Kenneth Copeland, Paul
Crouch, Joyce Meyer, Rob-
ert Tilton, and Crefo Dol-
lar, to name only a few. Te
agenda is basically the same
and is repeated over and over
again. It is as follows: Tere
are certain spiritual principles
that God has put into place. It
is up to us to claim and speak
those principles, and thus
God will be obligated to act
accordingly. Gullible listen-
ers are told that if they will
obediently sow some seed
money, God will reward with
temporal blessings like health
and wealth. Hello! We know
who gets rich in that scenario.
Tus leaders of the movement
continue to live in the lap of
luxury, while the sheep are
feeced time and time again.
Peter warns that false teachers
will, By covetousness exploit
you with deceptive words. (II
Peter 2:3) Peter goes on to say
Tey have a heart trained in
covetous practices, and are
accursed children. (II Peter
2:14)
It is not that God in His pur-
poses has not blessed some be-
lievers with incredible wealth.
Money is not evil. In fact,
many well-to-do Christians
have been incredibly generous
with the resources God has
entrusted to their care. Yet,
the movement I am referring
to tends to make the goal tem-
porary earthly prosperity. On
the contrary, we are to Set our
mind on things above, not on
things on the earth. (Colos-
sians 3:2) While we look not
at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not
seen. For the things which are
seen are temporary, but the
things which are not seen are
eternal. (II Corinthians 4:18)
Was the Apostle Paul rich?
Judge by his own words, To
the present hour we both
hunger and thirst, and we are
poorly clothed, and beaten,
and homeless. And we labor,
working with our own hands.
Being reviled, we bless; being
persecuted, we endure; being
defamed, we entreat. We have
been made as the flth of the
world, the ofscouring of all
things until now. (I Corinthi-
ans 4:11-13) Hear his clear call
for contentment, Now godli-
ness with contentment is great
gain. For we brought nothing
into the world, and it certain
we can carry nothing out. And
having food and clothing, with
these we shall be content. But
those who desire to be rich fall
into temptation and a snare,
and into many foolish and
harmful lusts, which drown
men in destruction and per-
dition. For the love of money
is a root of all kinds of evil,
for which some have strayed
from the faith in their greedi-
ness, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows.
(I Timothy 6:6-10)
How I wish these greedy,
covetous teachers would
heed the simple warnings of
our Lord. Do not lay up for
yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy
and where thieves break in
and steal; but lay up for your-
selves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust
destroys and where thieves
do not break in and steal. For
where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also. (Mat-
thew 6:19-21)
We must not forget, at the
heart of our Lords invitation
to follow Him is self-denial.
If any man desires to come
afer Me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and fol-
low Me. (Matthew 16:24)
Donald Marion Logan,
1934-2014
LOGAN
Donald Marion Logan,
80, of Gonzales, went to
meet his Lord and Sav-
ior Friday, September
19, 2014. Don was born
May 23, 1934 in Gonza-
les County to Clyde and
Alleen Logan. Clyde
graduated from Gonza-
les High School and at-
tended church at Unity
Baptist Church before it
was disbanded; he then
joined the First Baptist
Church in Gonzales. He
made his profession of
faith at age 7, and was
baptized in the Maurin
caleche tank near Unity
Baptist Church. Don was
member of the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute,
Independent Petroleum
Association, Rocky
Mountain Oil & Gas As-
sociation, Independent
Drilling Contractors of
America, Independent
Cattlemens Association
and the Elks Lodge.
Don worked for a
time in Yoakum for pipe
line crew, where he met
Dorothy Seitz whom he
married after moving to
Tulsa, OK. He was em-
ployed by Sinclair Oil
Company and lived in
Tulsa from 1953 to 1969.
Don moved his family to
Denver, CO. after leav-
ing Sinclair Oil Co. to
partner with his friend
Clyde Clinton in a new
business venture, prop-
erty tax representatives
for oil companies. Their
business grew as they
traveled throughout the
United States and at the
height of the oil boom
of the 1980s they sold
their business. Though
reluctant at first, Don
came back to Gonzales
to help his parents man-
age the production of an
oil well on the old fam-
ily place. Upon seeing
the opportunities exist-
ing in Gonzales at the
time, Don secured leases
on some land that pro-
duced 12 new producing
oil wells joint venturing
with other individuals
and companies they had
represented.
Don had worked all his
early life; working cattle
with his cousin Rufus
Floyd for 75 cents a day,
setting pins at the bowl-
ing alley, ushering at the
Ice Capades, pumping
gas at a service station
or playing rent a Santa
at Christmas time, work
was work, he was never
to proud to seize an op-
portunity to make a liv-
ing. But there are things
he did love outside of
work; he enjoyed land-
scaping, planting flowers
and seemingly where he
walked, the grass grew.
He past the time gar-
dening and became very
good at canning toma-
toes. He loved fishing,
raising cattle, even join-
ing his father in leasing
land in Tulsa to raise cat-
tle. They both enjoyed
riding horses, working
cattle and Dons Arabian
mare Dolly had a gate
as smooth as a rocking
chair. In 1969 he and his
family bought a condo in
Vail where his children
learned to snow ski, but
Don avoided the activ-
ity afraid he would injure
himself and prevent him
from providing for his
family.
In 1982 Don moved to
Gonzales to stay and on
March 17, 1985 he married
Pat Kelley Brown and to-
gether they formed a cattle
business on a family ranch.
Don was a quiet, gentle
soul, respected and loved
by many friends. He was
so gentle he didnt brand
his cattle for fear of caus-
ing them undue discom-
fort. Don had as many as
300 head of Brangus heif-
ers at one point, fnally
selling them of to local
ranchers and settling into
a cow calf style of ranching
that served him well.

Looking Down
from the Saddle
Vote in favor of GISDs two Chapter 41 propositions
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
Last Tuesday when the Gonzales Coun-
ty Retired Teachers Association met for
lunch we had as guest speakers two of the
three Superintendents of schools in our
County and each reported the changes in
rules for fnancial support from the State
of Texas. Our County now is classifed as
property wealthy and we are required to
participate in returning local tax dollars
to the State for which there are 5 separate
methods:
Option 1. Consolidate with another
District.
Option 2. Detach Property
Option 3. Purchase attendance credits
from the State ( this requires voter ap-
proval)
Option 4. Contract to educate nonresi-
dent students from a property poor dis-
trict (requires voter approval).
Option 5. Consolidate tax bases with
another district.
It was explained to us that only Options
3 and 4 would allow Gonzales ISD to re-
tain control of operations of the district
unrelated to wealth equalization and are
not permanent, in any year in which GISD
was not property wealthy, GISD would not
have to give money to the state or a prop-
erty poor district.
So this letter is to urge you voters to go
vote..........at a building behind our School
Administration building, during the early
voting days or on Tuesday, election day
Sept. 30th.
I trust our elected School Board mem-
bers and the Superintendents who have
thought through the Option possibilities
and I am urging voters to vote FOR both
Proposition 1 and Proposition 2 as they
appear on the ballot so that in our coun-
ty, we can retain control of property tax
money.
It was easy to vote because we have been
informed of the way we can control tax
money.
Tis election is vastly important because
there can be no changes by way of appeals
once these rules are established, County
by County.
To all you fellow citizens who will read
this letter, please go vote to keep our ad-
vantages......isnt it great we can be classi-
fed as property wealthy.
If you would like to state your opinion,
please also send a letter to the editors.

Thanks for straight
piece on candidate
Dear Editor,
Your insightful and well-written piece on
Wesley Reed is like a breath of fresh air this
morning.
Tank you so much for sharing with your
readers information in a positive light about
congressional candidate Reed. I have met
him several times and he is the real thing.
Again, it was such a nice surprise to see
something like this appear in the Cannon. It
gives me feeling of hope, and I am going to
renew my subscription today.

EDITORS NOTE: Tank you. Our job

We cannot be the
worlds orphanage

liance.

I recently spoke about immigration to a
gathering of conservative citizens in east-
ern Washington state. One of the issues I
was asked was about so-called Dreamers
the illegal aliens who were brought to
the U.S. illegally as minors, and who now
are demanding amnesty and full citizen-
ship. My response on this subject was/is
very clear and logical.
First, we cannot turn our nation into the
worlds orphanage. We cannot allow every
country in the world to drop their chil-
dren at our doorstep and expect us to raise
them. Te American taxpayer cannot be
the worlds step-parent.
It is extremely sad that these children
were brought here, albeit for a better life,
but there is a right way and wrong way to
do everything. Regardless of the attempts
to justify the illegal entry of these people,
they entered illegally and what part of the
word illegal do some people not under-
stand?
Furthermore, we should not make ex-
ceptions to any illegal alien group because
once we make allowance for one group we
are going to have to make exceptions for
other groups. Our immigration system
has already too complicated and politi-
cized, and its time to simplify matters and
enforce the law.
Te current immigration crisis, which
has included over 60,000 illegal alien mi-
nors entering in the past 11 months, is a
direct result of the public Dreamers de-
bate and Obama Administrations action.
Obama has sent mixed messages regard-
ing immigration policy and it has caused
for many minors to come. Even now more
minors are being resettled than deported.
It is my opinion that anyone of any age
who enters (or over stays their permis-
sion) illegally, should be deported and not
be able get citizenship or permanent resi-
dency. Only when a strong punishment is
enforced for illegal entry will it ever stop.
Tat policy must also include the deporta-
tion of children so as to discourage adults
from sending them.
Some Dreamers say they cant go back to
their country of origin because they wont
be able to blend into their culture and
economy. However, we are constantly told
by liberals how good bilingualism and bi-
culturalism is for us the U.S. so why isnt
that the case for Dreamers in their home
country? Im sure they could be an asset to
their nations.
Finally, Dreamers and their supporters
have said they cannot go through the nor-
mal immigration process because it takes
too long. Im amazed at this statement.
Anything good is worth waiting for, par-
ticularly American citizenship. People who
want to attend a Spurs game must enter the
proper way and buy a ticket and wait in
line. Should it be any diferent to enter the
greatest country on earth?
Rather than complicating our immi-
gration system further and allowing the
Dreamers to stay, they should go back to
country of origin and apply for entry. In
the meantime, any children brought here
illegally should be deported immediately.
We must stop making excuses and enforce
the law for everyone, including children,
because we cannot become worlds or-
phanage.
Tis is an edited transcript of
an interview with Texas Out-
door Writer Kendal Hemphill
on Te News from the Camp-
house on KULM 98.3 FM.
Brune: Kendal is a newspa-
per columnist and writes po-
litical commentary for Texas
Fish and Game magazine. He
is also an out-going director
of the Texas Outdoor Writers
Association (TOWA) and is
currently going to seminary
school in Arkansas. As luck
has it, I was elected to take his
place. It is the only election of
statewide candidates that I can
recall winning. Once on the
board the new directors were
asked if they had a particu-
lar job that they wanted. I of
course said that I wanted Ken-
dals old job. Obviously, my
thinking was that if he could
do it so could I. And hopefully,
he had the bugs worked out
and a ready process template.
Now, Im in charge of the Ex-
cellence in Craf competition
which is judged by the folks at
West Texas A&M University. A
new item that Ive likewise vol-
unteered for is campaigning to
get more student participation
in TOWA. Presently, I have
appointments to meet with
journalism professors at Texas
A&M in College Station and
working on dates with the pro-
fessors at A&M in Kingsville.
Te question to Kendal is:
We can assume that students
from Agriculture Commu-
nications should be involved
with outdoor writing. But isnt
there also plenty room for
mainstream journalism stu-
dents?
Hemphill: Yes absolutely.
Outdoor writing is not all
hook and bullet. We dont all
write about the latest rife cali-
ber or what fsh are biting. My
political commentary covers
current legislation and main-
stream issues. Tere are times
when issues such as a border
fence become hot topics in
the outdoors. A border fence
would impact wildlife travel
and habitat. Illegal immi-
grants, litter on their trails, and
crime also becomes outdoor
issues. Homeland Security, air
quality, water issues, and prac-
tically every related malady
to mankind can be tied to the
outdoors.
It is imperative that the
mainstream public under-
stands conservation and the
best people to deliver the
message are outdoor writers.
It is necessary that people un-
derstand the North American
Conservation model and the
role that hunting and fshing
play in maintaining healthy
wildlife populations. It is also
necessary that people under-
stand the diference between
preservation and conservation.
Preservation is for items that
may never be used or touched.
Conservation is using a natural
resource so that it will always
remain.
Brune: So in saying that all
issues may be connected and
impact the outdoors, do you
think that young people raised
in the outdoors may have a
better perspective on all the is-
sues?
Hemphill: It would be rea-
sonable to say that kids raised
in the outdoors would have
more knowledge of the things
that afect natural resources.
Ten if they are actively en-
gaged they may likewise have
more knowledge of main-
stream issues that are natural
resource related. And it may
start with the hook and bullet
activities.
If a kid loves hunting, fsh-
ing, canoeing, or whatever
they are more likely to know
about the topics concerning
hunting, fshing, canoeing, or
whatever. Tey are more likely
to learn how to be good stew-
ards of the environment. Tey
are more in touch with the en-
vironment than the students
who get it all from television.
But there is a signifcant fac-
tor to consider. We need young
people with a fre in them to
solve problems and now were
including all students. We
need young intellectuals to
help solve the demands that a
growing population is putting
on our natural resources.
Well use energy as an ex-
ample. We know that we need
alternative energy sources. We
need more engineers work-
ing on ways to conserve fossil
fuels and reuse of water. It will
take more young people work-
ing in those felds. It helps if
everyone has an understand-
ing of how energy is tied into
outdoor issues, but the biggest
factor is that we help get stu-
dents involved. Tat could be
a role for a TOWA director
helping young people become
involved. Agree?
Brune: Of course! As a com-
municator it is our job to write
so that we include people and
relate issues to their lives. It
helps when folks are active in
their community. Nowadays
it seems more evident that the
sooner we can get young folks
involved the better it is for so-
ciety. Te trick is to exclude
politics and delve into the facts.
Using the energy example
consider the drilling technique
known as fraccing. It has been
around for 50 or more years.
Recently, the EPA has signed
of that it doesnt hurt the en-
vironment or groundwater.
Yet, there is an anti-fraccing
crowd that refuses to let go. It is
essential that young journalists
research and delve into these
types of issues, set politics
aside, and deliver accurate in-
formation to the public. Tere
is still at least one state with a
moratorium on fraccing. Such
policy is driven by politics and
hurts us as a nation and a so-
ciety.
Hemphill: Tere are many
issues that need to be drug into
the daylight and it will be up to
young journalists to grab onto
these issues. Tey could report
on taxes or social programs.
All of these topics can be dis-
cussed as to whether they
help or hurt society, home-
land security, conservation of
resources, etc. Eventually all
these topics control daily life
whether it is the price at the
pump or economic growth.
Unfortunately, many people
turn on the news and expect
to be lied to. We need these
young journalists to latch onto
the facts and give the public
an accurate reading of what
works and what doesnt work.
Tats what the public needs
and hopefully wants. I sup-
pose its our job to help get the
next generation of journalists
started.
needs that are important to
both industry and communi-
ties, said Robert McKinley,
UTSA associate vice president
of economic development.
Investments in infrastructure
roads, water, wastewater,
education, medical facilities
and other things are the key
foundational components
needed to ensure the long-
term viability of many rural
communities in the region.
Te ongoing activity pres-
ents South Texas community
leaders with a rare opportu-
nity to ensure the long-term
viability aof their cities, towns
and counties, said Tomas
Tunstall, research director of
the UTSA Institute for Eco-
nomic Development.
Te UTSA Institute for Eco-
nomic Development is dedi-
cated to creating jobs, grow-
ing businesses and fostering
economic development. Its 12
centers and programs provide
professional business advising,
technical training, research
and strategic planning to en-
trepreneurs, business owners
and community
leaders.
Te Eagle
Ford Shale Community De-
velopment Program at the
UTSA Institute for Economic
Development is working with
communities to promote sus-
tainable economic progress
through an innovative and
strategic approach. Likewise,
it maintains a network of 10
feld centers and two specialty
centers to provide advising
services and business train-
ing. Te Small Business De-
velopment Center network
stretches across South Texas
and includes all of the coun-
ties impacted by the Eagle
Ford Shale, as well as many in
West Texas.
With the enormous
growth in our energy sectors,
in particular the Eagle Ford
Shale play, comes a multitude
of challenging opportuni-
ties, said state Senator Carlos
Uresti. State policy makers,
business leaders and other
stakeholders rely on the best
research available from our
higher education community,
such as UTSA, in order to
tackle these challenges and en-
sure our state takes full advan-
tage of this vital opportunity.
UTSA is conducting ad-
ditional projects to support
stakeholders in the Eagle Ford
region. Notably, the Center
for Urban and Regional Plan-
ning in the UTSA College of
Architecture, Construction
and Planning regularly con-
sults with communities across
South Texas on planning, de-
sign, environmental, housing
and development issues. Like-
wise, the UTSA College of
Public Policy and Institute for
Economic Development are
collaborating to develop and
strengthen municipal govern-
ments in the Eagle Ford Shale
and West Texas regions.
To date, the UTSA Insti-
tute for Economic Develop-
ment has published Eco-
nomic Impact of Oil and Gas

(December 2013), Economic

Gonzales County Com-
missioners on Monday
moved to give county em-
ployees an option to pur-
chase membership in a ru-
ral air ambulance service.
Commissioners opted
to add Methodist AirCare
and the AirMedCare Net-
work to county employees
options during their open
enrollment period.
Jaran Floyd told com-
missioners the service
grew out of seeing most
air ambulances based in
major metropolitan ar-
eas, with lengthy delays
between contact time and
pickup time. His com-
panys service operates in
rural areas and has op-
erations in Seguin and La
Grange.
Employees would be
able to purchase a mem-
bership covering their en-
tire family for about $6 per
month, Floyd said. With
most air ambulance calls
costing $20,000-30,000,
the savings for individu-
als even those covered
by insurance could be
signifcant.
Most of the time if they
call an air ambulance, the
insurance will treat it like
ground transportation and
pay up to $5,000 or so, he
said. Under this, theyre
covered.
Commissioners also opt-
ed to change the waiting
period for county employ-
ees to receive health insur-
ance from the current 90
days to 60 days to conform
to changes in state statutes.
During Mondays meet-
ing, Commissioners also
approved the temporary
closure of County Road
363 at Gelhorn Creek in
Precinct 2 for the con-
struction of a new bridge,
approved the sole-source
justifcations for purchase
of used tractor trucks for
Precincts 1 and 4, and ap-
proved a resolution for a
state criminal justice plan-
ning grant as a way to fund
security cameras for the
courthouse and justice
building.

SHINER Shiner Cham-
ber of Commerce President
Hailey Steinocher and Ofce
Manager Jane Kalina turned
out for last Mondays ribbon
cutting ceremony, ofcially
welcoming Andys Sheet-
metal & Gutter Co. to Shiner.
All of this started because
of this man, owner Andy
Blaschke said of Alton Fal-
tysek, who owned and oper-
ated the former business A &
D Sheetmetal for 30.5 years
in Shiner, and serves as his
right-hand man in the busi-
ness today.
It was an opportune
time. While combin-
ing Altons many years of
sheetmetal knowledge and
my husbands years of ex-
perience in the industry,
it just all made sense to
bring the two together,
said wife and co-owner La-
rissa Blaschke. We intend
to see this company thrive
and succeed as it has for all
these years with the same
quality service and crafs-
manship. We are excited
to work with our new and
existing customers, con-
tractors, and vendors from
all over the Golden Cres-
cent area.
Andys Sheetmetal &
Gutter Co. provides cus-
tom sheetmetal products
while specializing in gut-
ters, downspouts, louvers,
fashing, and stove pipes.
Te building, located at
524 N Ave G, was home
to several businesses as
early as the 1950s. Tese
businesses included Stlu-
kas Grocery and Laddies
Place, Pohler Meat Market,
Elos Grocery, Rays Gro-
cery, DJs Grocery and in
1999, A & D Sheetmetal.
Ironically, Andy noted
that he worked in this ex-
act location as meat mar-
ket employee of DJs Gro-
cery twenty-something
years ago.
I worked in this same
building for my very frst
job, he said, and hope-
fully this will be my last.

Gonzales Co. Sherifs Report
God didnt design us for
a purposeless life. Tere is a
reason for your existence that
is meant to bring you a sense
of fulfllment, help others and
glorify God. Without some-
thing worthwhile to live for
while we are alive, and with-
out something to hope for
afer we die, our life on this
earth is meaningless.
Do you know what your
purpose in this life is? Each
of us is equipped with unique
talents and skills meant to be
used for Gods good purpose...
not ours. Tere is more to
life than pleasing ourselves.
Everything we do should be
for God. Everything we at-
tain should be used for Him.
What tools did He give you
to use? Are you a helper? A
teacher? An encourager? A
musician? Do you have the
gif of gab who communicates
deep subjects simply? Do you
attract people who want to tell
you their life story? Find your
tool and put it to good use.
Tat is what it is for!
Our time in these physi-
cal bodies is temporary and
it is limited. Te choices we
make really do matter. We
can choose to waste our al-
lotted time on superfcial and
temporary pleasures focused
on gratifying our own selfsh
desires, or we can choose to
put our time to good use for
something that really matters.
Do you believe that God
loves you personally and cares
about your welfare? He does
you know. Tat is why He
sent His Son Jesus to die on
a cross. Sounds like a terrible
thing to do to a Son doesnt
it? Well, Christ was born for
a Divine purpose that tran-
scended this earthly life. He
came to earth to prove to
stubborn, arrogant mankind
that God exists, and to make
us understand that He, not
we, are the center of the uni-
verse. He came to show us
how to live and how to love.
My husband says that Love
is an Action Word, and Christ
proved that. Because there is
no greater love that anyone
can have than to give up their
own life so that others can live.
He chose to give up His physi-
cal existence to prove that the
end of this life is the beginning
of an eternal one. His sacri-
fce made it possible for us to
be forgiven of everything we
have ever done and recon-
nect with God. Te only way
to enter the holy presence of
God is to admit our mess-ups,
turnaround from our past by
not making the same stupid
decisions again and let Christ
into your heart. Ten ask Him
to guide your decisions.
But the choice to believe
is yours. Te choice to fol-
low His guidelines is yours.
And the choice to love Him
and your fellow man is yours.
No one can force you to do
anything you dont want to
do. Not the Devil. Not even
God. Tat is the great thing
about free will. God designed
us to have a relationship with
Him, but He wants us to want
Him. One thing Ive learned
the hard way is that if we want
to live a better life, we have to
make wiser choices. Where
have your decisions led you?
Do you like where you are?
It took me half a lifetime to
make the choice to believe
and to follow God. Now that
Ive made my choice I am
sticking to it...come what may.
I heard Rick Warren pray
this last week and I am mak-
ing it part of my daily morn-
ing ritual:
Today I am stepping across
the line. Im tired of wafing
and Im fnished with waver-
ing. Ive made my choice.
Te verdict is in and my deci-
sion is irrevocable. Im going
Gods way. Tere is no turn-
ing back now! I will live the
rest of my life serving Gods
purpose with Gods people on
Gods planet for Gods glory.
I will use my life to celebrate
His presence, cultivate His
character, participate in His
family, demonstrate His love
and communicate His Word.
Since my past has been for-
given and I have a purpose
for living and a home await-
ing in heaven, I refuse to waste
any more time or energy on
shallow living, petty thinking,
trivial talking, thoughtless do-
ing, useless regretting, hurtful
resenting or faithless worry-
ing! Instead, I will magnify
God, grow to maturity, serve
in ministry and fulfll my mis-
sion in the membership of His
family.
Because this life is prepara-
tion for the next, I will value
worship over wealth; we over
me; character over comfort;
service over status; and people
over possessions, position and
pleasures. I know what mat-
ters most and Ill give it all Ive
got. Ill do the best I can with
what I have for Jesus Christ
today. I wont be captivated by
culture, manipulated by crit-
ics, motivated by praise, frus-
trated by problems, debilitated
by temptation or intimidated
by the devil. Ill keep running
my race with my eyes on the
goal not the sidelines or those
running by me.
I wont back up, back of,
back down, back out or back-
slide. Ill just keep moving
forward by Gods grace. Im
Spirit led, purpose-driven and
mission focused so I cannot
be bought. I will not be com-
promised and I shall not quit
until I fnish the race. Im a
trophy of Gods amazing grace
so I will be gracious to every-
one, grateful for every day and
generous with everything that
God entrusts to me.
To my Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ I say...However,
Whenever, Wherever and
Whatever you ask me to
do my answer in advance is
yes! Wherever you lead and
whatever the cost Im ready.
Anytime, anywhere, anyway.
Whatever it takes Lord. What-
ever it takes. I want to be used
by You in such a way that on
the fnal day Ill hear You say
Well done, thou good and
faithful one. Come on in and
let the eternal party begin!
God keep you safe till next
time...

Spade and Trowel Garden Club
Te Spade and Trowel
Garden Club held its 2014-
2015 reassembly luncheon
on September 9, 2014, at
the beautifully remodeled
Alcalde Hotel. A delicious
four course luncheon was
served.
President Laverne Brzo-
zowski presented certif-
cates of appreciation from
the state garden club (Tex-
as Garden Clubs, Inc.) to
long time members. Te
Iris Ring of Honor for 25
years of membership went
to Juanita Blundell, Joy
Carson, Norma Fink, Joan
Grifn, Suzanne Vrana,
and Charlotte Wilson. Te
Rose Ring of Honor for
50 years of membership
went to Barbara DeBerry,
Jane Johnson, Patty Mc-
Cullough, Peggy Shuler,
Lorraine Walshak and
Joan Walshak. Tis group
of dedicated members was
warmly applauded for their
years of service and impor-
tant contributions to the
club and community.
Resources for future city
beautifcation projects will
be solicited by the club as
it continues its tradition of
raising funds to Support
the Stars, the lights at the
Gonzales Memorial Mu-
seum. Contributions from
the community are needed
and welcomed.
Afer the business meet-
ing, club members got a
tour of the refurbished Al-
calde, including the din-
ing spaces, luxurious guest
rooms and suites upstairs,
and the beautifully ap-
pointed lobby and front
desk.
At the Garden Clubs Sept. 9 meeting, several members were honored with Rose
Ring of Honors certifcations for 50 years of membership. Pictured are Barbara
DeBerry, Jane Johnson, Lorraine Walshak and Joan Walshak. (Photo by Dave Mun-

GLCC: Celebrates 15 years

in this county, she said, noting that sev-
en of those were from the Nixon area.
Attaining a GED has been shown to di-
rectly impact income by about $10,000
per year.
The evolving mission has the staff and
volunteers tailoring programs to meet
individual needs. Rodriguez noted that
English language learners often come to
GLCC with specific wants.
Our morning classes are mothers,
they want to learn phonics, to learn
to read so they can help their kids in
school, she said. We have some more
advanced learners in the evenings, they
want to learn idioms and grammar (so
they are more like native speakers).
The changes in state funding have
been a drawback, but also has an up side,
she said. With oversight under the TWC
rather than the TEA, regulations have
changed and now many English learners
bring their children to classes with them,
So we have a real family environment.

2014-15 school year of to a great start
Dear Gonzales ISD
School and Community
Family,
We have had a GREAT
start to an EXCITING
school year! Our teachers
and staf have worked to
make ready and welcome
nearly 2800 students into
our schools. Classrooms
are alive with engaging les-
sons and activity for stu-
dents beginning the new
school year. As the 2014-
2015 school year opens we
are busy with academics,
athletics, and district ex-
pansion. We are looking
forward to great things
and begin the year with a
heartfelt thank you to our
partners for assistance as
we work together for our
community.
As we begin the normal
processes of a new school
year dont forget the Sep-
tember the 30th GISD
Chapter 41 Election. Te
election takes place at the
DSDC located behind the
central ofce at 926 St.
Lawrence. Tis very im-
portant election will pro-
vide for local control of
recapture methods by al-
lowing the voter to elect
to choose the most viable
methods of how our local
tax dollars amount for re-
capture will be made to the
state. Without your voice,
GISD could be afected by
loss of tax base or possible
consolidation by the Com-
missioner per Texas Code.
Early voting and Election
Day voting times and in-
formation can be located in
the brochure posted on the
GISD website or picked up
at central ofce or you can
call the ofce for more in-
formation: 830-672-9551.
Our school start has
been amazing and extra
special thanks to so many!
We extend a sincere ap-
preciation to HEB and
Walmart for the support in
bringing in over 1200 items
of school supplies for needy
students. Tis efort was
strengthened by our GISD
Agriculture classes assist-
ing in the event.
Again we thank the
Chamber of Commerce,
HEB and Whataburger
as they pulled together to
welcome back faculty and
staf at the annual cof-
fee prior to convocation.
We always look forward
to and appreciate so much
the Methodist Church for
the welcoming luncheon
on Wednesday of our frst
week back to school for
faculty and staf. All of the
food is fantastic and the
welcome back to school is
extra special from every-
one! Additionally, we ap-
preciate the Noon Lions
Club for assisting with stu-
dent cross walks and class-
room locations on our frst
days of school. Tank you
to the GISD faculty, staf
and parents for an excep-
tional job of starting the
year on a safe, positive and
productive note. We have
had an exciting, a smooth
and safe start.
Over the summer our
faculty spent time sup-
porting instructional prac-
tice by attending Writing
and Science staf develop-
ment sessions provided by
Region 13 Instructional
Coaches. Other topics re-
lated to a teachers particu-
lar subject area were cov-
ered on campus and many
campus planning sessions
took place prior to the start
of school. Te Texas Edu-
cation Agency released re-
sults in performance on the
most recent of STAAR and
EOC assessment results.
Gonzales ISD has much
to be proud of by not only
meeting all standards set
by the state, but exceed-
ing standards in 19 of 20
major indexes across the
district and campuses. Our
Gonzales ISD campuses
received Honorary Dis-
tinctions. Gonzales High
School earned distinc-
tions in Mathematics and
Science, Gonzales Junior
High earned distinctions
in Science, Social Stud-
ies, Closing Performance
Gaps (top 25% of schools)
and Post-Secondary Readi-
ness, North Avenue earned
distinctions in Science,
Closing Performance Gaps
(top 25% of schools), and
Post-Secondary Readiness.
Gonzales Elementary is
paired with East Avenue
Primary and earned a dis-
tinction in Post-Secondary
Readiness. Additionally
North Avenue Intermedi-
ate and Gonzales Junior
High both scored in the top
ten percent in closing the
performance gap category
of TEA campus compari-
son ratings. North Avenue
received a ranking of 8th
and Gonzales Junior High
received a ranking of 9th
out of the TEA comparison
of 40 campus-alike schools.
We are very proud of the
eforts of our students and
their ownership for success
in performance. We are
also proud of the success of
our teachers, principals and
staf for these commend-
able results. You can fnd
more information on the
STAAR testing system at
www.texaseducationagen-
cy.com in the A-Z directo-
ry under STAAR and then
STAAR Resources. It has
been wonderful to visit the
campuses and see our stu-
dents desire and capacity
for learning. Meeting high
standards in academics is
dependent on many vari-
ables. One of these highly
controllable components
that is paramount to suc-
cess and highly controllable
is excellent attendance.
Excellent attendance in
school is a priority! Tank
you to parents for encour-
aging children and reward-
ing daily attendance and
to teachers for adhering to
a well-planned calendar of
instruction. Every day and
every lesson counts. Com-
pleting the scope and se-
quence of the curriculum is
sequential preparation for
the next grade level and ul-
timately the real world fol-
lowing graduation. Tank
you for all that you do in
keeping children in school
every day.
We are proud of our
students attention in the
classroom and on the feld.
Respect for others and par-
ticipation in activities is ap-
parent. Our extracurricular
programs are well attended.
Meet the Apaches night
was a great beginning and
the Apaches are of to a
great start. Te Apache
band looked sharp and
sounded incredible as they
performed new music and
entertained the crowd. Our
cheerleaders, dance teams
and twirlers performances
were outstanding. Tank
you to the Booster Clubs
for all that you do to sup-
port the Apaches! Friday
night football is underway!
Te Apaches are forging a
new team with new plays
under the direction of great
coaches! Volleyball has also
started and the girls are
committed to the team ef-
fort! Go Apaches! You can
fnd the athletic schedule
posted on the high school
website. Come out and
support the Apaches as we
celebrate fall sports.
As we move forward
throughout this 2014-2015
school year, we will continue
to raise the bar on expecta-
tions. Tank you ahead of
time for your active partici-
pation in your childs educa-
tion. Soon progress reports
will be sent home. Each time
you receive this report you
can monitor your childs
academic performance and
attendance record. Dont
hesitate to schedule an ap-
pointment to meet with your
childs teacher. Working to-
gether we make our students
our focus and that will make
a diference.

DAR luncheon
The Thomas Shelton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution
sponsored its annual Constitution Week Luncheon on Saturday at the First
Methodist Church in Gonzales. Special guest Donna Byrd of New Braunfels
gave a fascinating presentation on White Indians: The German Children Stolen
by Southern Plains Indians. Her report recounted tales of several pioneer chil-
dren who were taken from their families by Indian raiders and held for months
or years, and of their trouble re-adjusting to civilized life after their return.

Keep an eye on the

A famous and of-
quoted line from Sherlock
Holmes is How ofen
have I said to you that
when you have eliminated
the impossible, whatever
remains, however
improbable, must be the
truth? However, author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
didnt come up with that
one himself; he took it
from a story by Edgar
Allan Poe, another pioneer
of the detective genre.
Just as bears do, many
frogs hibernate. A frog
will burrow down into the
mud at the bottom of a
pond and, not being able
to use its lungs to breathe,
it will absorb the oxygen in
the water through its skin.
Everywhere you go
these days, you see people
carrying around bottles
of water. I wonder if they
realize how much money
theyre spending? At $1.49
for a 9-ounce bottle of
Evian, a gallon would cost
$21.19. It could be worse,
though. Pepto-Bismol is
$123.20 a gallon.
Jayne Mansfeld had
an interesting defnition
of men. She said they are
creatures with two legs
and eight hands.
Snakes can get hiccups.

Prescription medications can save lives
and help people more efectively man-
age severe illnesses or conditions. When
used correctly, medications can provide
the help needed to alleviate the symptoms
of certain conditions. Too ofen, however,
medications particularly prescription
drugs are used improperly. Te results
can be dangerous and addictive.
Prescription and over-the-counter
drugs are safe but only when taken under
the supervision of a physician or in ad-
herence with instructions on the bottle.
When prescription or OTC medications
are not taken according to the instruc-
tions provided or used for longer dura-
tions than recommended, seemingly safe
medications can become problematic.
Te National Institute on Drug Abuse
says approximately 16 million Ameri-
cans reported using a prescription for
nonmedical reasons in 2010. According
to the National Association of Pharmacy
Regulatory Authorities in Canada, they
have found a higher incidence of use and
misuse, particularly of prescription medi-
cations, across the country. Estimates sug-
gest that 13.7 percent of all Canadians will
misuse pain medications.
With predictable highs and easy acces-
sibility, prescription medications are par-
ticularly attractive. Tere is little stigma
over having a prescription pill bottle in
the medicine cabinet. Ofentimes, those
eager to misuse these drugs need only
scour their own homes or the cabinets of
relatives to fnd a stash of pills at the ready.
Some medications also are sold over the
Internet or end up on the street from doc-
tors or pharmacists who realize how lu-
crative a business selling these pills can be.
Te National Institute on Drug Abuse
says depressants, opioids and morphine
derivatives and stimulants are the most
commonly abused drugs. Potential health
consequences of many of these drugs can
be addiction, increased risk of respiratory
distress, slowed breathing, lowered blood
pressure, and death. Tese side efects
may increase in severity when medica-
tions are taken in concert with alcohol.
Its not just prescription medications
that can be abused. OTC drugs, like
cough syrup, asthma inhalers, antacids,
and sleep aids, also can be dangerous and
addictive. While the risks associated with
OTC drugs pale in comparison to those
associated with prescription drug abuse,
OTC medications can afect the liver and
kidneys when taken in excess.
Millions of people are aficted
with restless legs syndrome, an un-
comfortable neurological condition
that may lead them to repeatedly
move their limbs to fnd relief. In
spite of its name, restless legs syn-
drome, or RLS, is not limited to the
lower extremities, as some of the sen-
sations associated with the condition
are felt in the arms as well.
Te National Institute of Neu-
rological Disorders and Stroke, a
division of the National Institutes
of Health, says as much as 10 per-
cent of the United States population
may have RLS. Several studies show
that approximately 2 to 3 percent of
adults are afected by moderate to se-
vere RLS, which occurs in both men
and women, though incidence of the
condition is twice as high among
women. Although people of any age
can be diagnosed with RLS, it is more
ofen diagnosed in middle-aged men
and women and seniors.
Te most common symptom of
RLS is an irresistible urge to move
because of uncomfortable, and
sometimes painful, sensations deep
within the body. Te sensations of-
ten defy description but can range
from pain, aching, creeping, crawl-
ing, or prickling feelings. Symptoms
may occur at any time but are most
evident when the body is at rest,
whether sitting down for long peri-
ods of time or when going to sleep.
Symptoms may increase in severity
throughout the night.
Tose with RLS frequently experi-
ence periodic limb movements char-
acterized by jerking and twitching,
which can make it difcult to fall and
stay asleep. Sleep deprivation may
carry over into daytime hours and
make daily life difcult. Many with
RLS also have concentration prob-
lems, impaired memory or struggle
to perform daily tasks due to exhaus-
tion.
RLS symptoms may vary and
change from day to day. Symptoms
may subside early in the morning,
but they ofen reappear and worsen
at night.
Considerable evidence points to
a dysfunction in the brains basal
ganglia circuits that rely on the neu-
rotransmitter dopamine, which
helps regulate muscle movements,
as a contributor to RLS. Individuals
with Parkinsons disease ofen have
RLS as well.
RLS may be a genetic condition,
as it seems to run in families. Preg-
nancy, chronic diseases and medica-
tions can also aggravate symptoms of
RLS.
RLS is diagnosed by looking at
certain qualifying criteria. Physicians
will document symptoms and note
when they occur. Treatment may
involve a mixture of medications as
well as therapies for relieving symp-
toms. Medications for RLS may lose
their efcacy over time, and doctors
may have to work with patients to

RLS afects millions of people
Increasing number of scams targeting seniors
Restless legs syndrome afects millions of people and
can compromise quality of life.
AUSTINAs the senior
population in the United States
continues to grow, so does the
scope of fnancial crimes com-
mitted against them. In 2012,
the Census Bureau estimated
that 43 million Americans
are over the age of 65. Tat
number is expected to double
in the next 40 years. Stealing
seniors hard-earned money
is one of the most prevalent
forms of fnancial fraud that
takes place today.
Telemarketing and email
scams, including fake sweep-
stakes, are the most common
forms of fraud that impact
seniors. An important rule to
know is that any sweepstakes
that requires advance fees or
upfront charges is a scam.
And in no instances should
money be wired to a stranger.
Another type of telemarketing
scam is the fake governmental
agency call. Tis type of scam
involves access to government
benefts and includes requests
for personal information such
as social security numbers or
Medicare information.
Medicare fraud happens
exclusively to the elderly. Ev-
ery American older than 65
is eligible for Medicare. Scam
artists ofen pose as Medicare
representatives to solicit per-
sonal information. With some
scams, services and screenings
are provided through mobile
clinics. Tese mobile clinics
will visit senior citizen centers,
and personal information is
collected to bill Medicare for
fraudulent services. Always
ask questions about medi-
cal services being ofered and
know that free services should
never require that personal in-
formation is provided.
Funeral and cemetery scams
happen far too ofen as well.
Tis usually happens in two
ways. In the frst, a perpetra-
tor will scan obituaries and
contact the grieving widow
or widower with a claim that
the deceased had an outstand-
ing debt. Alternately, seniors
are exploited by disreputable
funeral homes, which will
use unfamiliarity with funer-
al costs to add unnecessary
charges. For example, a fu-
neral director might insist that
embalming or an expensive
casket is necessary for crema-
tion. Texas state law doesnt
require either. More informa-
tion about Texas mortuary
laws can be found by contact-
ing the Texas Funeral Service
Commission.
Additionally, having equity
in a home makes seniors a tar-
get for fake mortgage lenders
who will ofer reverse mort-
gages, a popular form of home
lending for seniors. Scammers
will try to sell unsecured re-
verse mortgages, which can
lead to property owners losing
their homes. A common tactic
is to ofer either a free house to
live in or cash in exchange for
the title to the property. A real
estate attorney should always
be consulted before pursuing
any sort of reverse mortgage.
Te Grandparent Scam
preys upon the hearts of the
elderly. A perpetrator pre-
tends to be a grandchild, law
enforcement ofcer or medi-
cal professional with a story
that the grandchild is in legal
or medical trouble and needs
money immediately to resolve
the issue. Tis scam is easy to
avoid if a senior never pro-
vides personal information
to anyone over the phone. If
someone calls claiming to be
a grandchild in trouble, ask
about personal information
only that person would know.
Most seniors will be extremely
alarmed when a grandchild
is in trouble and ofen unwit-
tingly provide verbal clues to a
scam artist.
Unfortunately, its not al-
ways strangers perpetrating
these crimes. According to the
National Council on Aging,
more than 90 percent of re-
ported elder abuse is commit-
ted by an older persons own
family members, most ofen
the adult children, followed
by grandchildren, nieces and
nephews, and others.
Te best rule of thumb to
avoid being a victim is to never
provide personal information
to a stranger and dont send
money or provide a credit card
number to verify, guaran-
tee or process a prize.
Avoid the trap of prescription drug abuse
Te Apaches return to
the friendly confnes of
Apache Stadium for the
frst time in three weeks
against rival Yoakum Bull-
dogs at 7:30 p.m. tomor-
row.
Gonzales (0-3) was of
last week and lost to Navar-
ro, 37-29, back on Sept. 12.
Yoakum is an extremely
athletic football team. Tey
have blown two of their
opponents out, Gonzales
head coach Kodi Crane
said. Going into this game,
we feel we have played the
tougher schedule. Tey are
highly explosive and can
score from any point on the
feld.
Te Bulldogs (3-1) have
had a pretty good start to
the season, opening with
a 54-0 win over Marion,
beating Hallettsville 34-21,
coming up short to East
Bernard 27-7 and rebound-
ing with a dominating 65-7
performance over Luling in
their last game.
Our goal is to always be
getting better each game,
Bulldogs head coach Brent
Kornegay said. Gonzales
is a good football team and
they have played some re-
ally good teams.
Te Apaches defense are
aware that the trigger point
for the Yoakum spread op-
tion is highly-talented,
TCU-commit, TreVontae
Hights. Tey also know
Davontay Mathis and Jared
Garza will get touches as
well.
Mathis is explosive and
Garza is more of a power
running back, Crane said.
Yoakum will do a good job
of mixing the run and the
pass, and can run the play-
action pass. Hights makes
most of his money by
scrambling on pass plays.
We will have to be sound
on defense because they
run the spread option with
99 percent of their plays
run out of the shotgun.
Mathis has also made a
couple of catches to com-
pliment other receiving
threats Caden Fishbeck,
Tyler Kornegay, Austin
McCoy and Garza.
Gonzales will need to
play assignment football
well.
Crane said he is expect-
ing the Dog defense to be
extremely physical
Fishbeck is a good de-
fensive player; Hights plays
corner; their front is physi-
cal; their linebackers look
good pursuing downhill,
he said. It will be a process
getting our ofense going
against Yoakum like we
want it to.
Crane said the Apaches
like the chances of their
downhill-running game
against the talented Yoa-
kum defense.
Gonzales will continue
to use its quick-passing at-
tack.
Yoakum will bring pres-
sure so the quarterback has
to get the ball of his hands
quickly, he said.
Yoakums defense will
see another spread ofense,
similar to what they have
seen in two of their last
three opponents (Halletts-
ville and Luling).
We have to play our as-
signments well and run
to the football, Kornegay
said. Gonzales will make
plays; we just have to make
sure they are not big plays.
Yoakum will be watching
the movement of running
backs Alyas Ramirez and
Jaime Tellez. Quarterback
Brant Philippus has also
showed he does a good job
of running the football.
And when the Apaches
go airborne, it will be to
Dalton Kuntschik, Aaron
Hunt, Atlantic Johnson,
Tyler Hendershot, Blake
Cox or Darrance James.
Kornegay said Yoakums
ofense will need to sustain
drives by executing prop-
erly.
With the abilities of
Hights at quarterback,
Yoakum will need all of its
back and receivers to make
plays so Gonzales will need
to focus defensive efort on
more players than Hights.
Gonzales has had Yoa-
kums number the last
several years, with the last
Dog victory coming back
in 2009.
Keeping the win streak
alive puts no more pressure
on us than we already put
on ourselves, Crane said.
Our big thing is to make

Gonzales worked on fundamentals during break
Te Gonzales Apaches had
an open date last week and used
the time of to heal injuries, and
work on techniques and funda-
mentals
I thought our bye week was
extremely productive, Apaches
head coach Kodi Crane said.
Our game against Navarro
was very physical and we had
lots of bumps and bruises and
sore kids. Our bye week came
at a pretty good time to get ev-
erybody health and back to 100
percent.
Te coaching staf did not
watch flm on Yoakum until
last Saturday, and used the four
practices to work on improving
techniques and basic funda-
mentals.
We spent a lot of time on ex-
ecution. We used our of week
as four fully-padded spring
practices, Krane said. It was
good for our kids and I think
they are ready to get back on
the feld.
Te Apache defense worked
on focus and
awareness.
You play
defense with
eye progres-
sion, from
your key to
your clue to
get to the
football, he
said.
Te Tribe
o f f e n s e
worked some
on footwork
Ofensively, we worked hard
on our frst
step and head
pl a c e me nt ,
ofensive line
moving their
feet afer con-
tact. Running
backs worked
on explod-
ing through
the hole and
running great
routes because
we are going
to continue to see man coverage
in opposing defenses, Crane
said. We worked on stacking
a defender, exploding out of a
break to get open.
He added that the Apaches
did work on special teams dur-
ing the no-game week.
Afer facing the Dogs,
Gonzales will play its second
straight home game on Oct. 3,
Homecoming against Bellville
during Come & Take It week-
end to wrap up non-district.
Te Apaches frst district
game will be Oct. 10 at Pleas-
anton.

Te Shiner Comanches
look to continue their un-
beaten run as they hold
Homecoming 2014 against
the Rice Consolidated Owls
tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at
Comanche Stadium.
Rice will be what we
have typically faced the last
two weeks, Shiner head
coach Steven Cerny said.
Tey have a good ofen-
sive with a solid quarter-
back and speedy receivers.
Te Raiders are a spread
team whose pace will be
dictated by quarterback
Jordan Johnson (40-88,
638 yards, 7 touchdowns;
64-554 yards and 5 rushing
touchdowns)
He is a good runner and
has an arm, Cerny said.
Johnsons leading receiv-
er is Jaquad Mcgrew (13-
254, 3 touchdowns).
Shiner will need to con-
tain Johnson, and cover
Mcgrew and the other re-
ceivers.
Rice lines up in the
3-4 on defense and could
switch to the 5-2 to combat
Shiners tight end.
Tey have some speed
in the secondary and in the
linebackers, Cerny said.
Tey will move a lot be-
fore the snap.
Te Shiner ofense must
stay on the feld to keep
Rices ofense on the bench.
We must keep the ball
and control the clock, and
get points on every pos-
session just because their
ofensive is tough to stop,
he said.
Shiner will have an open
date next week, giving
them two weeks to prepare
for Oct. 10s game against
Refugio.
At that point, we want
to be playing our best foot-
ball, Cerny said.
In other action, both
TAPPS schools are on the
road as Shiner St. Paul
plays at John Paul II and
Hallettsville Sacred Heart
heads to central Texas to
play Central Christian in
Temple; Nixon-Smiley
hosts Cotulla, Luling plays
at Hallettsville and Flatonia
takes a break.
Cotulla at Nixon-Smi-
ley
Te Mustangs return
home afer taking a big step
with a road win last week
at Dilley. Nixon-Smiley (3-
1) has played well at home
and has another chance to
keep its positive trend go-
ing with a home game at
7:30 p.m. tomorrow against
Cotulla.
I wished we had played
a little better against Dilley
but we played well enough
to get the win, Mustangs
head coach Carlton McK-
inney said.
Cotulla is coming of its
frst win of the season, a
25-0 victory over La Pryor
last week.
Cotulla is a much-im-
proved team and will be a
good test for us going to the
bye week, McKinney said.
Te Cowboys have sev-
eral speedy and shify backs
that Nixon-Smiley will
need to restrain.
We have to tackle very
well because of the speed
of their backs, McKinney
said.
Nixon-Smiley will have
to continue perfecting its
clock-control ofense and
not turn the ball over.
Shiner St. Paul at John
Paul II
Te actual season starts
for the Cardinals as they
open district with a road
game at Schertz John Paul
II.
Head coach Jake Wa-
chsmuth said with a win
over St. Paul last year, John
Paul II will be extremely
confdent in this seasons
matchup.
We can certainly win
this game but we will have
to overcome their conf-
dence and the fact that we
are playing on the road, he
said.
John Paul II is a running
team that uses a variety
of formations, with their
bread-and-butter plays be-
ing tosses and inside runs.
We will need to play ag-
gressive on defense and at-
tack, Wachsmuth said.
On defense, John Paul II
is multiple but really likes
the split and will also over-
load one side of the lone.
Te biggest thing we
have to do on ofense is not
turn the ball over, Wachs-
muth said. We had a few
against Flatonia last week
and they hurt our drives.
Luling at Hallettsville
Te Luling Eagles hit the
road for the third straight
week as they travel to face
the Hallettsville Brahmas
at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at
Brahma Memorial Sta-
dium.
Te Eagles have sufered
three straight defeats, in-
cluding a 65-7 rout at the
hands of Yoakum last week
and will trying to right the
ship against Hallettsville.
Hallettsville has won two
straight afer starting the
campaign 0-2. Te Brah-
mas are stepping up on de-
fense, averaging just under
14 points a game for the
last two games.
Quarterback Brent Motal
is becoming more comfort-
able directing the Brahmas
ofense while running back
Kaden Hardt has carried
the teams run game on his
shoulders.
Luling will need to ex-
ecute assignments properly
and not give up the big play
while their ofense must
sustain some drives and
score some touchdowns.
Hallettsville Sacred
Heart at Temple Central
Texas Christian
Te Sacred Heart Indi-
ans have struggled through
non-district, going winless
in games against Snook,
Flatonia, Nixon-Smiley
and Kenedy.
Te Indians have a
chance for a new start as
they travel to Temple Cen-
tral Texas Christian for the
start of district play. On
defense, they will need to
contain and tackle well,
and not give up the big play
while on ofense they must
execute better and simply
score more points.
Central Texas Christian
opened with a loss to Bryan
St. Joseph 47-25 but has
won two in a row against
Bastrop Tribe Consoli-
dated (53-21) and Bartlett
(33-14).
Te Lions will be led by
running back James Apple-
gate, safety Mark Rizvi,
ofensive lineman Barrett
Martin and defensive end
Nathan Dosa.

We made some strides coming out of the Navarro game.
We will be more aggressive on both sides of the ball.
Crane said Yoakum is very good on special teams and
the Apaches will have to have solid special-teams play.
He said GHS did not come up with any turnovers against
Navarro but will be more aggressive against Yoakum to get
a couple of them.

FLATONIA It was good for Flatonia
to earn its third straight win but there is a
little room for improvement.
Te Bulldogs took a 28-7 lead in the
second quarter, and used persistence and
dedication on defense to absorb two St.
Paul scores as Flatonia held of the Cardi-
nals, 28-21, in 2014 Homecoming game at
Bulldog Stadium.
Te game sufered about a 45-minute
delay because of thunderstorm activity in
the area.
I feel we did not play that well, ofen-
sively or defensively, in the second half,
Dogs head coach Chris Freytag said.
Still, Freytag said Flatonia did some
good things in the game.
I liked how we threw the ball in the frst
half, he said. I was hoping for a little more
but the feld and the ball conditions were
not right but we adjusted and our kids did
a good job with the passing.
Freytag credited St. Paul with playing
well.
You cannot give a good football team a
touchdown in the last few seconds of the
frst half. Tat is how a good football team
is able to rally, he said. St. Paul will win
a lot of games this year and I feel (St. Paul
head) coach Jake Wachsmuth is one of the
best high-school football coaches in the
state.
Te Cardinals gained over 300 yards of
ofense but were hampered by an intercep-
tion and a couple of fumbles.
We knew Flatonia was a good team and
that we would have to play well, Wachs-
muth said. Our kids played hard but at
times, we would make mistakes that hurt
us. Tis was a good football game but we
are disappointed because we felt we could
win.
Flatonia took the opening kickof but
went three and out.
St. Paul started at the 24 and did their
usual thing a run. T.J. Bell took a handof
and went 21 yards to the 45. Next, quarter-
back Austin Barton threw incomplete but

SHINER Te Shiner Co-
manches survived a late push by
the Lexington Eagles Friday night
to remain undefeated for the sea-
son. Shiners defense showed
up early, as they forced Lexing-
ton into a three-and-out on the
games frst possession. Teir of-
fense responded by scoring on
a 41-yard run by Tyler Patek for
the frst score of the game. Afer
a successful kick, the Shiner took
the lead 7-0.
Lexingtons ofense solved its
troubles on their next possession
as their running game proved too
much for the Comanches de-
fense to handle. Quarterback Nic
Dillon would eventually score on
a 4-yard touchdown run, and the
Eagles would get the kick to tie it
at 7-7 with 6:25 remaining in the
frst.
Shiners ofense picked up
where it lef of, gaining huge
yardage from Patek and Chad
Neubauer to get them to the 33.
A few plays later, Patek caught
an 8-yard touchdown pass from
Blake Michalec, and afer a good
kick Shiner took a 14-7 lead with
3:03 lef in the quarter.
Te Eagle ofense put together
a decent drive their next time out,
making it as far as the 25. How-
ever, Shiners defense held tough
and forced a turnover on downs.
Teir ofense kept the pressure up
with their dominant run game,
marching down to their oppo-
nents 21. Michalec broke free
from there on for a long touch-
down run, and afer another extra
point Shiner went up 21-7 with
8:19 remaining until halfime.
Lexington continued to fght,
as their ofense made their way
down the feld with a number of
successful runs. Te Comanche
defense put up quite a bit of resis-
tance on the goal line, but could
not keep Berto Lara from scor-
ing from the 1. Lexington would
botch the snap and miss the PAT,
leaving the score at 21-13 with
4:03 to go until the half.
Shiner answered quickly, as
Dadrian Taylor made a nice re-
turn to the Lexington 40. Leaning
heavily on the run game again,
the Comanches found themselves
on the goal line, where Neubauer
scored on a 1-yard run. Afer the
kick, Shiner went up 28-13, and
the score remained that way until
the half.
Shiners ofense started the
third quarter as sharp as they
looked in the frst half. Tey
got another spark from Taylor,
this time a 48-yard run on a re-
verse to the Lexington 13. Shiner
marched closer, but the Eagle de-
fense made a huge play, forcing
and recovering a fumble on the
1. Teir victory was short lived,
however, as their ofense fumbled
a few plays later afer a block-
ing penalty. Marcus Rodriguez
scooped the ball up and scored
from 9-yards out, and afer an-
other good kick Shiner took a
35-13 lead with 9:05 remaining
in the third.
Afer trading a couple of punts
with Shiner, Lexington managed
to fnd some success running the
ball again, and they took advan-
tage of a wearing Comanche de-
fense. Tey drove down the feld,
eventually scoring on a 5-yard
run by Lara. Afer the kick, the
score was set at Shiner 35, Lex-
ington 20, with 0:15 in the third.
Lexington tried some trickery
on the ensuing kickof and nearly
recovered an onside kick, but the
Comanches hung on to give their
ofense a shot, which they took
complete advantage of. Tey
got another large chunk of yard-
age on another reverse to Taylor,
setting them up on the 13. Patek
would run it in the next play, but
afer a missed kick Shiner went
up 41-20 with 11:12 lef in the
game.
Te Eagles would answer with
another tedious drive, marching
down the feld on an ofense that
opened up to the pass more than
before. Dillon eventually scored
on a 12-yard run and their kicker
set the score at 41-27 with 4:03
remaining.
Tings got interesting as Lex-
ington managed to recover their
second onside kick attempt on
the Comanche 34. Shiners de-
fense seemed undaunted as Neu-
bauer and Rodriguez combined
for a sack to forced the Eagles
into third and long, but Lexing-
tons QB Dillon proved resilient
and scampered for a frst down
the next play. Tey would score
a few plays later on a 4-yard run
by Lara, and the extra point put
them within a score of tying, 41-
34.
Te Comanches remained
calm and thwarted a third onside
attempt by Lexington. Te recov-
ery did not seal the win, and it
came down to the ofense to do
so. Tey managed to exhaust the
Eagles timeouts and run the re-
maining 1:52 of the clock to sur-
vive the scare.
Afer the game, head coach
Steven Cerny attributed Lexing-
tons comeback to their numbers:
We were worn out. We have
more guys that play both ways
than they do, and it started to
show there late. He said the same
thing about his ofense, which
slowed considerably in the sec-
ond half: Tey were fatigued. It
was a problem all around, and
we knew it would be an issue
against Lexington. He said his
teams conviction made the win
even better: Tey were all tired,
but they hung in there. Im very
proud of the way they played
through it.

Te Girls program is
getting deeper. We have
more girls that are run-
ning consistently and this
will pay of late in October.
UTSA meet was a huge
meet for our girls. We did
not run our best but still
had a decent showing and
this made me believe even
more that we have a chance
to be great in late Octo-
ber, Gonzales head coach
Cully Doyle said. Taylor
McCollum ran well for the
team fnishing 36th over-
all out of a huge 250 feld
of runners. I believe our
girls believe they are one of
the better teams in our dis-
trict and I believe we have
a great chance of proving
that when our legs are fresh
and we are all healthy on
the same day.
I am so proud of this
girls cross country team.
Te work they are putting
in is great. Just like the boys
we understand we are in a
tough district. I believe the
girls team is one of the best
teams in the district but we
will have to be healthy and
run great when it counts. I
am excited and I hope the
girls see the hard work pay
of. It has been a fun season
with this group of girls. Te
future is bright for this girls
program.

We started of slow but we fnished,

Ever the optimist was Lady Apache head
coach Sarah Kenedy.
We did a lot of good things in this
match, she said. Molly Barnick was a
block machine and Bailey Connells digs
were on.
Just need to keep building on the posi-
tives to get ready for our next match.

two plays later, found Mar-
co Ynclan open throught
the middle for 40 yards to
the Dog 14.
A few plays later, Barton
went to Ynclan in the cor-
ner of the end zone for a
7-0 St. Paul lead.
We are both running
teams and there is no way
you are just going to line up
and run at them. You have
to throw the ball, Wachs-
muth said. Tey were the
same way. We were able to
do a few things in the pass-
ing game and I wish we
would have been able to
convert a couple more of
fourth downs.
On the next drive, Flato-
nias Casen Novak had a 14-
yard pass to running back
Marcus Mica to move them
past the 50.
A little later, Novak
found Gus Venegas for a
34-yard score to knot the
game at 7- 7.
Te Cardinals had to
punt on the next posses-
sion, giving Flatonia the
ball at the Dog 41 and Mat-
thew Kozelsky ripped of
a 44-yard run down to the
15 and Marcus Mica later
scored from the 2.
Another St. Paul punt set
up Flatonia at its own 13.
No problem Kozelsky
had a 5-yard run to the 18
and Novak fred the home-
run ball to Venegas, going
82 yards and a 21-7 Flato-
nia lead with eight minutes
lef in the half.
St. Paul got a little help
from the Dogs on the next
drive as Flatonia was called
for pass interference to the
Flatonia 44. Venegas came
up with a fumble on the
next play.
Venegas later hauled in a
27-yard pass to put Flatonia
inside the 20.
Shiner St. Paul then got
an interception from Jed
Janecek at the St. Paul 16.
Venegas came up with
another turnover as he
nabbed a Barton pass and
got it to the 10. Mica scored
from 10 yards out for a 28-7
lead with 4:57 lef to play.
Te Cardinals cut the
lead to 28-14 afer using
most of the 4:49 lef afer
returning the kickof on a
71-yard drive in about a
dozen plays. Barton threw
his second touchdown pass
of the game with a 10-yard
pass to tight end Colton
Machart with just fve sec-
onds lef.
St. Paul opened the third
period with a 10-play, 67-
yard drive for another
score. Bell had a 33-yard
run on the fourth play and
a 14-yard pass from Bar-
ton to Nathan Pilat gave St.
Paul new life on a fourth-
down.
Bell later capped the
drive on a 2-yard run to
bring St. Paul within 28-21.
Te Dogs fumbled the
kickof and St. Paul got the
chance to tie the game.
However, the Cardinals
lost a fumble at the Flatonia
18, putting an end to the
drive.
We had a couple of
other drives that ended in
turnovers, Wachsmuth
said. Bottom line is we just
did not make plays.
St. Paul, in the fourth
quarter, had a couple of
drives in which fourth-
down conversion passes fell
incomplete.
Flatonia is of this week
while St. Paul stays on the
road, playing at Marble
Falls Faith Academy.

Ashton Williams fn-
ished 6th place overall in
the huge 250 feld of run-
ners on Saturday at the
UTSA Cross Country invi-
tational meet. Tis is con-
sidered one of the biggest
cross- country meets in the
state and Ashton is learning
how to run and run right at
the right time of year. We
are still training pretty hard
and I know he was really
tired and running on heavy
legs during the race. I feel
that he can have some spe-
cial races coming up in the
next few weeks, Doyle said.
Te boys team has another
great chance of going to re-
gionals for the third year in
a row. Tis would be huge
for the program. Our dis-
trict is tough. Our district
competition is going to be
at the State Cross Country
meet in November. I feel
if we run right we can be
there also. We have to run
really good to get out of
district frst. Biggest thing
right now is to stay healthy
and keep training smart.

HARRIERS: Gonzales Williams places sixth in
field of over 200 runners at UTSA Ricardo Romo meet
FLATONIA Shiner
head coach Desiree Nitsch
considered rivals Flatonia
to be one of the tougher
teams in their district.
And she was not let
down as Shiner hung on
to beat the Lady Bulldogs
3-1 (25-23,25-27, 25-14,
25-18 ) Friday afernoon in
Flatonia.
It is hard to win on the
road against a team like
Flatonia, Nitsch said. Our
girls fought hard and never
lost their composure.
We are starting to trust
each other as a team.
It was a stalemate for the
early part of the frst until
some plays from Flatonias
Savannah Flood and Kylie
Mica helped put their team
ahead 16-9.
Kills from Samantha
Natal and Tabitha Blaschke
sent the Lady Comanches
on a 13-2 run, going ahead
22-18.
Flatonia got within a
single point at 24-23 on
the kill by Fernanda Torres
and a kill by Jennifer Hartl
provided the game winner.
In Game No. 2, Flatonia
shook of an early defcit
and got ahead 9-5 on the
serves of Erin Miksch. Te
Lady Comanches fought
back trail just 12-11 and
then gradually got into the
lead at 22-19.
Flatonia bounced back
to tie the game at 25-25
and got the winning point
on an ace from Maecie
Mikulenka.
In the third set, Shiner
went ahead 6-1 on the
serves by Lauren Schuette.
Later, two kills from
Blaschke and an ace from
Mackinley Pilat surged
Shiner to an 18-4 lead.
Te Lady Dogs
attempted a comeback
with an 8-3 run before
succumbing 25-14.
In the fourth set, a kill
from Miksch, and service
from Mica and Flood put
Flatonia ahead early 5-1.
Te Lady Dogs held the
lead until a nine-point run,
on the play of Blaschke
and Pilat, put Shiner ahead
13-8.
Te efort of Kimberlyn
Michalec brought Flatonia
with 13-12 and the Lady
Comanches countered with
six of the next seven points.
From there, Shiner had
a slight advantage, 6-5, to
win the set and the match.

Well the Rifenburghs
came to Texas from Cali-
fornia to visit Kathleen
Allen and Texas will never
be the same again. Tey
braved closed parks, sand
storms, and pouring rain
while they tried sleeping
in a tent. When Paw Paw
Allen extended his hospi-
tality to them, they readily
accepted. We had become
acquainted with them be-
cause Nancy is Kathleens
frst cousin and one of the
few blood relatives she
has alive. Her husband is
Duane, and their son is An-
drew, age 26, and daughters
Grace, age 17, and Rachel,
age 8. Will and I went over
to meet them in person.
We had so much fun talk-
ing to such nice and joy-
ful people. Andrew can
play the piano, just making
those keys talk. He also has
a beautiful singing voice to
go along with it. Sometimes
Grace and Rachel join him
with the singing. Tere
other goal was to tour the
Alamo. So Saturday they
quickly toured the Jail and
Eggleston House in Gonza-
les and then went on to San
Antonio. Ten they went to
Monthalia United Method-
ist Church with Paw Paw
Allen and Kathleen. Tere
Andrew played and sang
Te Old Rugged Cross.
Everyone wanted them to
stay longer and Allan Fink
wanted them to come to his
house for dinner, but un-
fortunately they had to go
on their journey. Teir next
stop was Fredericksburg
and then on back to Big
Bear City, California. We
all wished that they could
have stayed a lot longer.
We have some good run-
ners in our midst. Donna
Lindemann Hisey won in
this division, her sister Lu
Fullilove came in second,
and Kathleen Allen came
in third with paint all over
them. Tere are not enough
pictures in the paper.
Anyway, I have survived
San Antonio twice in the
last week and enough is
enough. I could not live
up there for any reason. I
would run and hide. Te
dogs and cats were happy
when we got home. Little
Eva thought that she could
sneak out to come with us
the second time. She has
the shortest little legs but
she can jump higher than
Skooter. She gets into ev-
erything. We cant stack
some things any higher.
Somehow she is going to
learn not to steal things.
Have a good week. God
Bless.
