Annon: Two Arrests Made in Counterfeiting Case

SMILEY Te Nixon
Smiley CISD Board of

Trustees on Monday re-
viewed some initial ideas
for dealing with growth,
particularly on the high-
school campus including
the possibility of adding an
entirely new building to the
campus.
Superintendent Cathy L.
Booth opened up the foor
for discussion about pos-
sible renovation plans for
the high schools 600 Wing
to bring it into compliance
with state standards. She
laid out three possible solu-
tions.
Te frst option looked
at included just renovating
the interior of the building
the estimated cost for this
option was $2.3 million, al-
Gonzales County Commissioners on
Monday found themselves asked to help
mediate some disagreement between the
Gonzales Area Chamber of Commerce and
the Gonzales County Historical Commis-
sion over access and use of the Old Jail Mu-
seum building.
Glenda Gordon of the GCHC and Daisy
Sheschke of the Chamber spoke to com-
missioners during Mondays meeting, ask-
ing the court to intervene afer they could
not reach agreement on access issues.
Tere are always challenges associated
with operating in any historic structure,
said Gordon. Many day-to-day opera-
tional issues have been resolved. Some still
remain unresolved.
Gordon said the Jail Museum Comittee
has recommended the county enter into a
lease agreement with the Chamber for its
use of ofce spaces.
Scheschke said shed like an updated
co-operators agreement as well, but that
Gonzales County gave us use of these
ofces, and it was implied that this area
would serve as an easement.
Te Historical Commission is seeking
additional funding to continue restoration
and renovations on its portion of the 1885
building, and Gordon asked the court to
give the Museum access to the jails kitchen
Gonzales Police Chief
Tim Crow announced Fri-
day that police have made
two arrests in the case of
a motorcycle stolen using
counterfeit money, and that
police are now starting to
narrow their search for the
origin of the counterfeit
cash as part of these and
other recent arrests.
GPD received a report of
a stolen motorcycle June 14
when two vicims told In-
vestigator Jason Montoya
they had sold their motor-
cycle to two males and a
female in return for what
turned out to be $2,600 in
counterfeit currency.
Te victims later posted
publicly on Te Cannons
Facebook page about feel-
ing threatened during the
sale.
Te money felt fake
but we were worried that
if we said anything that we
would have a gun in our
faces or our daughters fac-
es, the posting said.
Montoya, assisted by
Capt. Allen Taylor, contin-
ued to develop leads which
eventually led to arrest
warrants being issued for
Marcus Glenn Neeley, 26,
of Shiner, and Justyn Davis,
26, also of Shiner.
A search warrant was is-
sued for the residence used
by McNeeley and Davis on
FM 533 in Lavaca Coun-
ty and was executed on
Tursday, July 17 with the
assistance of the Gonzales
County Attorneys Ofce,
Lavaca County Sherifs Of-
fce, the Shiner Police Dept.
and agents with the U.S.
Secret Service out of San
Antonio.
During the search, stolen
property was located from
the burglary of a residence
which happened in Gonza-
les County, as well as evi-
dence and property from
the thef of the motorcycle.
Crow said that metham-
phetamine, marijuana, an
undertemined amount of
cash and a 2009 Chevrolet
Equinox were seized.

Answering a Need
Local Farm Bureau Insurance Agents (L to R) Mike Rothrock, Britney Jones Caka,
and Renee Rathmann, donated 4 car seats to the Gonzales Police Department
to help in the transportation of juveniles as needed. Accepting the donation is
Ofcer Matthew Camarillo. Car seats are available to Farm Bureau members at
a discounted price.
Starting with this issue,
Te Gonzales Cannon is get-
ting even MORE colorful.
Recent upgrades to the
press tower at the New
Braunfels Herald-Zeitungs
printing facility in New
Braunfels have made addi-
tional color plates available
in each section efectively
doubling the number of pag-
es on which we can include
color advertising and photos.
Printing technology con-
tinues to evolve dramatically,
and were very excited that
well be able to double our
color content, said Dave
Mundy, General Manager of
Te Cannon. Our advertis-
ers have been especially re-
ceptive to our low charges for
color, to the point weve had
to print additional sections
on occasion to accomodate
all the color requests. Tis is
very economical for us and
thats a savings well continue
to pass along to our advertis-
ers.
I think our readers and
our advertisers will really
enjoy being able to pick up
a Cannon and have so much
content in full process color,
Mundy said. Youll really see
that in our upcoming Back
to School, Sales Tax Holiday
and Fall Sports Preview spe-
cial editions.

ARRESTS, Page A4
As a defender of the nations borders,
President Barack Obama is a hell of a pool
player. Obamas recent game in a Denver bar
with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper was
bright and cheery, as one would expect of a
president who didnt have any depressing visits
to frightened ranchers, overwhelmed border
agents or desperate migrants on his future
itinerary.
Te frst rule in a crisis for any executive is
put on his windbreaker and boots and get out
on the ground. President George W. Bush didnt
do it soon enough afer Hurricane Katrina and,
politically, could never make up for it, no matter
how many times he visited New Orleans.
Obamas bizarre resistance to visiting the border
on his fundraising swing out West fueled talk of
the infux as Obamas Katrina moment.
Te Katrina analogy is over the top because
the border infux isnt a deadly catastrophe
swallowing an American city. It also is too
generous because Bush didnt do anything
to bring on Hurricane Katrina, whereas
Obamas policies are responsible for the
infux of immigrants. It is, in the argot of his
administration, a man-caused disaster.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the
number of immigrants younger than 18 who
were deported or turned away from ports of
entry declined from 8,143 in 2008 to 1,669 last
year. Tere were 95 minors deported from the
entire interior of the country last year. At the
same time, the number of unaccompanied alien
children arriving from El Salvador, Guatemala
and Honduras exploded from less than 4,000
several years ago to 40,000 since last October.
Te White House brushes of criticism that
Obama is avoiding the border as mere optics,
in contrast to its highly substantive focus. But
it is still not taking the crisis seriously. Te
nearly $4 billion the president is requesting is
not fundamentally about enforcement that will
reverse and end the tide, but about managing
the infux.
A devastating critique by the Center for
Immigration Studies notes that about half of the
money goes to the Department of Health and
Human Services for acquisition, construction,
improvement, repair, operation and
maintenance of real property and facilities. Te
enforcement portion of the request, according
to CIS, is not truly geared toward removal,
but instead to recouping costs for temporary
detention and subsequent transporting of
aliens.
Te administrations reaction to the crisis is
just another in a long series of acts of bad faith
on immigration. It is asking Congress for more
money for its priorities at the same time the
president is promising, in efect, to suspend
yet more immigration laws in response to the
failure of comprehensive immigration reform.
Republicans in Congress should crumple
up the presidents border request in a ball
and start over, with an emphasis on holding
migrants near the border and working
through their cases quickly to address the
short-term crisis, and provisions for interior
enforcement to address illegal immigration
more broadly.
Of course, even if such a bill were to pass and
to be signed into law, thatd be no guarantee
that the president of the United States would
enforce it. Tat speaks to an entirely diferent
man-caused disaster.

Just once how Id like to see the head-
line say
Not much to print today
cant find nothing bad to say...
... Nobody fired a shot in anger
nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little more good
news today...
... And everybody loves everybody in
the good old USA
We sure could use a little more good
news today.

Lyrics by Charles Black, Rory Bourke,
Thomas Rocco
Its a few minutes past six in the morn-
ing.
Ive just completed changing out the
kitty litter. A chore I look forward to
about as much as prepping for a colonos-
copy.
Now I am in hopes that it will not wind
up being the highlight of my day to come.
At seven in the a.m. Doc Deb, the wife
and dog doctor, and I kickstart our vital
organs by taking our daily walk. With
the dogs. On our little acreage here we
tagged as Grin Acres when we purchased
the land 10 years ago.
Doc has quite a bit more stamina than
this ol boy nine years her senior. She
tallies up four miles in the walk while I
brake and hit the rest area at two.
Now some would argue that when you
see a married couple out for a walk, the
one who is two steps ahead is probably
peeved.
Thats not the case with us. Doc is full
of vim and vinegar compared to my co-
matose and mineral oil. So she is apt to
be in the lead from the outset. Sporting a
smile while stepping out at a brisk pace.
Back in the refrigerated house. While
wolfing down my daily allotment of ba-
con and grits I decide to peruse a maga-
zine: The Week.
Look at this on page 4. Under bad
week for being fair and balanced. This
tiding. After an analysis by fact-checking
site Punditfact revealed that 60 percent
of comments made by Fox News hosts
and personalities, and 46 percent by MS-
NBCs, are mostly or outright false.
That gives one cause to consider in
doubt just about anything you hear. For
news these days. Good or bad.
So lets go to the internet. Check out
whats supposedly going on here in the
real world.
Double-click on the Huffington Post
icon. Gee whiz. Is there any news to be
found?
Palestinian death toll tops 500 ...
Obama signs executive order on LGBT
rights ... Rick Perry sending 1,000 Na-
tional Guard troops to border ... Dog
kills 7-month-old baby ... Kidnapped
girl, 5, dies in shootout after high-speed
chase ... Man sets world record with most
Homer Simpson tattoos ...
And on and on.
But dont give up. Keep scrolling. Let
the news amuse you. Royalty and celeb-
rities are always good for copy. Consider:
Prince Georges birthday portrait is as
adorable as youd expect ... Everything
you think you know about big penises
is wrong ... George Takei tells Bill Ma-
her why he cant stand William Shatner
... LeAnn Rimes stuns in a beige string
bikini ... The art of dressing like Kanye
West (and Kim Kardashian) ...
Yep, news to definitely keep me up to
date and able to converse with my peers.
After over 40 years in the busyness
of the newspaper bizness I adopted the
philosophy that one shouldnt draw any
conclusions from what they see or hear
or read from the news. You see, when it
looks as if the news cant possibly get any
worse, it usually does.
Cause most of what passes for news
today should or could be passed in a kitty
litter box.
All in all, I assume whatever will be
will be ... down the road ... as things in
this old world continue to gimp along as
usual.

Obamas Katrina moment
I have a small request to make
of some of you folks out there who
think a lot like I do.
If yall will just kick back and
just let those of us who are literate
post all the snappy rejoinders, that
would be great.
Youre hurting the cause, guys.
I preface my statement by noting
that this is no holier-than-thou
dissertation. Im the poster child
for every mean-spirited negative
visual stereotype the Far Lef likes
to use to paint us as low-class red-
necks: Im balding, nearsighted,
no longer have the sleek physique
I once had and my dental health is
atrocious.
But I can spell.
I promise not to be the causes
spokesman on TV if youll refrain
from being the causes spokesman
on Facebook, OK?
Te Other Side likes to paint
anyone with a conservative point of
view as ignorant bumpkins, back-
ward, intolerant and greedy. You
and I both know that we conserva-
tives are just as well-educated and
world-wise as they are. You and I
know that we are far more industri-
ous. You and I know that we con-
servatives believe in fairness, indi-
vidual initiative and responsibility,
and that equal opportunity is more
important than equal outcomes.
Dont get me wrong: you guys
have some great ideas, ideas that
are worthy of turning into a mes-
sage to totally discredit every argu-
ment our political foes are making.
But when your Facebook post-
ing of the picture of the MS-13
gang members detained on the
border bears the message THERE
NOT CHILDREN! or you tell re-
spond to an LGBT commenter that
Te Creater says diferent! well,
youre playing right into the preju-
dices of the elitist snobs of the Far
Lef.
Likewise with the other new fo-
rum for political discourse in this
electronic age the Comments
section of most major media or-
ganizations websites. It does no
good to fre back an answer to
that Kool-Aid-dripping post from
Zoroastres on the Daily Snooze
website if you misspell several
key words and people have dif-
fculty understanding what you
just wrote because your sentence
structure delivers the message in a
manner reminiscent of Yoda.
Take a deep breath before you
hit that SEND button, and re-
read what you wrote. Better yet,
just wait for someone like me to
tear Zoroaster up, and then just
hit the LIKE button on our re-
sponse.
Again, please remember: this is
not an attempt to insult you. Were
on the same team here. And like
any good team, we all need to play
our role to win the battle to edu-
cate the uninformed and the mis-
informed.
Its a matter of equality and
we conservatives believe in equal-
ity. When you see someone from
the Other Side making statements
or posting something really nasty
and vicious that is full of mis-
spellings and grammatical errors,
your frst impulse is to discredit
the entire message. When they
see something were posting that
is equally illiterate, the message is
equally discredited.
Whats painful is the knowledge
that so many of those posting il-
literate messages on both sides of
any issue should NOT be illiterate.
Tey are professionals, business
owners, and degreed individuals
like teachers.
Tey can design buildings, re-
wire computers and surgically re-
move your spleen but they were
never taught the importance of
spelling and grammar. Forty years
of outcomes-based education with
its de-emphasis on things like
spelling and the rules of grammar
in favor of creativity has created
three generations of semi-literate
geniuses.
Todays electronic media has
vastly expanded our opportuni-
ties to communicate with one an-
other. Perhaps the sad part is the
fact that the relative anonymity of
electronic communications has
also, unfortunately, removed any
sense of civility from what used to
be public discourse.
Its easy to call Jane Smuckatelli
from Cleveland, Ohio, a rude
name when youre living in Port-
land, Ore. since you can be
reasonably sure she or her signif-
cant other arent going to show up
at your front door and rearrange
your features.
Were willing to deliver insults
on the Web that most of us would
never dare deliver face to face, and
that loss of civility can in great
measure be credited with the in-
creased polarization of our soci-
ety.
It would wise for even those of
us who call spell and construct
sentences to recall a post once
written by Benjamin Franklin:
Any fool can criticize, condemn
and complain and most fools
do.
Tis is an edited transcript
of an interview with Public
Relations expert Samantha
O. Brune heard on Te News
from the Camphouse on
KULM 98.3 FM
Brune: It is every parents
dilemma and pride to see their
children grow up and cut their
own trails in the world. It is
also worrisome when these
trails drif into uncharted ter-
ritory. In my case, I realize that
California may not qualify as
being completely unchart-
ed, but, it is certainly a state
that carries a bit of a stigma.
Troughout the American
West, Californians that mi-
grate to nearby states for the
scenery are ofen looked upon
as blight. It is common belief
amongst mountain state locals
that Californians drive up land
prices, eventually implement
liberal policies, and by many
peoples viewpoints their in-
fux causes the development
that initiates the demise of
much beautiful country that
was previously untouched.
Nevertheless, no state is im-
mune to image problems. A
short while back Fort Worth
wanted to scrap its Cow-
town personality and refect
a more modern glitzy veneer.
Fortunately, with a change of
city council that notion was
dropped and the city instead
embraces the nature of what
made it great. And with the
advent of Texas robust econ-
omy during a time that the
rest of the nation is languish-
ing in President Obamas stale
Keynesian Teory experiment
suddenly the simple conser-
vative aura of wide open spac-
es, strong values, and kicking
back your hat while singing
with a guitar around a camp-
fre doesnt look so bad.
But in the same manner
that our Lone Star Texas grins
shine big and toothy while we
unloose our six-guns into the
air with a celebratory salute
the guys in California fip their
tutus and dont seem to mind
being known as Te Land of
Fruits and Nuts.
Now enter the reality that
my only child, my brilliant
daughter, Sam, has moved to
Los Angeles to ply her trade
in public relations. Te cold
realization grips my innards.
At least when she lived in Aus-
tin she could drive a few hours
home to escape the stoners,
panhandlers, tea-sips, and
half-educated idiots inhabit-
ing that burg. Now its my
fear that she hears no voice
grounded by experience and
that has eaten dirt more than
once. It is my fear that she will
learn to overlook the taxation
and bad policies that have
driven many businesses out of
the far west state. It is my fear
that she will learn to overlook
the hypocrisy and Godlessness
of the far lef. But then fnally
in the end, I must subscribe
to the thinking that I had 25
years to teach her the values
that must carry her.
Pudi, is your Dad worried
about nothing?
Sam: For starters, let me say
that while you are enjoying
another 100-plus degree Texas
Summer the high tempera-
ture here at night is in the 60s,
the high during the day is in
the 70s, and even though were
on the ocean the humidity is
very low. I live between Santa
Monica and Venice about four
miles from the beach.
As for comparing Texas
cities to California cities - I
would equate the personality
of Los Angeles to be similar
to Dallas, and San Diego to be
more like Austin. My feel so
far has been that people in Los
Angeles are more concerned
with appearances and keep-
ing up with the hottest, latest,
and hippest looks and devic-
es. It seems that a person must
know the right people, dress
the right way, and go to the
right places. Of course, you
can choose to be caught up in
that lifestyle or not. If youre
asking about stereotypes: Id
have to say that San Diego is
more laid back, San Francisco
is high tech and start up ori-
ented, and the north Hol-
lywood area is thought of as
more posh. Ten the east side
of L.A. is more hipster while
downtown is more grungy and
artful. But where I live on the
west side is better known for
the unique mix of technology
and Te Arts. Ten, like any
city, there are nice parts and
bad parts. But every place Ive
been is flled with culture and
a lot of fun things to do.
Brune: You mentioned
startups, whats that?
Sam: Tose are small com-
panies that are trying to grow
fast by reaching large audi-
ences. For instance small
companies that create apps for
your phone or people that de-
velop websites selling specialty
items or news services.
Brune: What is the lifestyle
diference moving from Aus-
tin to L.A. in relation to cost?
Sam: Tere is a higher cost
of living in L.A. Gasoline is
higher so the cost of commut-
ing to work is higher. Rent
is higher, going out to eat is
higher, most everything costs
more. I know how to pinch
pennies and my Austin pay
scale will sufce, but yeah it
hurts a little.
Brune: So whats it like be-
ing in the land where granola
ideologies originate?
Sam: Dad its relative to
what a person likes. But in an-
swer to your question: the frst
time I came out here we acci-
dentally ordered a meal made
with dairy-free cheese. So you
may ask how do you have
cheese without milk? And
I will tell you that you dont
want to know!
But there is a lot of great
food. I have found a hole-in-
the-wall place with good Mex-
ican food, but I havent found
a nice Mexican restaurant
that compares to what we have
at home.
But for California in gen-
eral, this isnt a place where
everyone is eating berries and
surfng all day. Id have to say
that folks here are the same
as anywhere else. People are
concerned about what afects
them.
Te movie industry is a ma-
jor part of the economy so it
may drive much of the news
and youll note that there is
more local news about Te
Arts. But all-in-all a person
can always fnd likeminded
individuals wherever they go.

Why do we let this go on?
Te news, day in and day out, is just insane.
Have our elected ofcials simply lost their
minds?
I heard the Presidents press secretary de-
scribe the world as tranquil. What planet
does this guy live on?
Harry Reid stated that the border is se-
cure. What? Really?
I hear time and again that the border patrol
is apprehending more than ever. Te politi-
cians point to this as progress on border secu-
rity. Well it is not too hard to apprehend when
the people being apprehended are running to
turn themselves in!
Tere seems to be a simple point that the
politicians are missing. Regardless of how
many are apprehended, regardless of how
many turn themselves in, regardless of how
many times the elected ofcials say what a
good job the border patrol or ICE is doing,
doesnt anyone see that it is too late at that
point?
We catch them because they are ALREADY
in the country! Te border security has already
failed when these people are caught. And now
that they are, they become our responsibility
to house, feed, educate, care for, provide legal
counsel and then secretly bus them to places
all around the country therefore spreading the
border crisis to states that have nothing to do
with the border nor experience dealing with
the problem.
I turn to the VA and read about, hear about,
talk to veterans that are not being treated cor-
rectly. Veterans are actually choosing suicide
over the continued shafing they are getting
from the VA.
Again our politicians are outraged, appalled
and do nothing about it. Te workers at
the VA blowing the whistle are being retaliated
against and no one does anything about it.
Private Bergdahl yes PRIVATE, as he
was promoted twice while AWOL and is not
a Sergeant is being set up as an honorable
soldier. Our Presidents line is he served the
country with honor and distinction. Honor
and distinction my foot!
He walked of his post, in wartime, and lef
a note he was leaving. I heard a congressional
hearing about this and listened to politicians
try to give the beneft of the doubt, they were
talking about the harsh conditions and all.
Well, I was personally over there in the ex-
act same conditions and I didnt walk of
and here is a news fash: neither did anyone
else, ONLY this cowardly traitor!
He abandoned his post, his duty, his platoon
mates and he did NOT serve with honor and
distinction, no matter how many times the
politicians, mainly of a certain party, say he
did. Saying it over and over does not make
it so.
We move from the VA to the IRS. What a
mess and the politicians are either accusing or
excusing once again depending on the party
they happen to believe in. Te investigation
is meeting resistance due to criminal obstruc-
tion.
Ive been an investigator, either in civilian
or in the federal system, most of my adult life
and the crap happening is beyond the pale of
believability. Just how many hard drives can
crash and disappear? Seems the only ones
that have problems are the ones the committee
wants to see.
How many dogs can eat the IRSs home-
work? How many times are we supposed to
believe this? And what gets me is the politi-
cians defending these people are either brain-
dead or they simply do not care what the truth
is as long as they follow what they are told is
party line. If one side says something then the
other HAS to deny it and cover it up.
Outside of our borders, Afghanistan, Iraq,
Syria, Egypt, Yemen, the list goes on and on
are in turmoil. Can we fx that? Probably not
anymore.
Who do you think has more power on the
global scene, us or Putins Russia? Did you know
that President Putin (Russia) just reopened their
Soviet-era spy center in Cuba?
I remember a term when I was in the military.
We joked about it as the mantra of government
ofcials: Admit nothing, deny everything, make
counter-accusations. Seems the mantra is alive
and well.
You know the President says he has a pen
and a phone and will take executive action to fx
things. OK, Mr. President, do that. Take execu-
tive action to fre people that dont do their job.
Seems you can be a terrible employee, terrible
leader or worse, criminal, and you cant get fred
from the VA or the IRS.
Our Justice Department refuses to investigate
these clearly criminal actions and obstructions
and I ask myself why?
Has it ALL become so political, so partisan
so deadlocked that nothing at all will happen?
Ten FIRE THEM! Fire all of them. Trow the
bums out of ofce. Put normal Americans in
and I bet things get done.
Ive never really been an advocate for Texas
to secede, but the way thing are going it may be
time to re-look at that. When you think about
the problems Ive talked about here, they all
have a common thread. Tese are all problems
caused by, increased by, and decided by the Fed-
eral government.
Our President seems either unconcerned,
uncaring, or more likely, simply incompetent. I
guess this is what happens when you put your
future in the hands of someone that has never
run anything, never really had a job, and has
only a claim to fame as being a community or-
ganizer from Chicago, one of the places in the
US that has always had terrible political integrity
and lack of honesty. When you think of heavy
handed dirty politics you think of Chicago.
Ironic isnt it?
What about Marine Sgt. Tahmooressi lan-
guishing in a Mexican prison? Where is the
President on this one? Nowhere to be seen. He
has done nothing.
Te State Department should simply go get
him. Our President has authorized actions to
go into other countries to get bad guys. Let us
go get our guy that actually did serve with honor
and distinction.
Where the heck is the Federal government
on this? Nowhere. It is not good politics for the
President. What the hell is Mexico going to do?
Send more illegal aliens our way? Please.
Do we secede from this mess and go it on our
own? I know for me personally we are moving
out to the hill country of Texas where Ill retire
on my property. Ive worked for the government
on the municipal side, the county, the federal
government and as a private contractor doing
government directed missions overseas and nev-
er until now have I felt so disillusioned.
I am proud to be an American. I am proud
to have served my country and my community
but those organizations and ideals they stood for
are becoming harder and harder to see and that
makes me truly sad that the America we were is
being stolen and destroyed by the very people we
elected to defend us. Tis simply sucks.

Dear Editor:
My husband Don and I are hearing from people in Gon-
zales that they never heard the desires of J. B. Wells regard-
ing the land his estate donated to the City of Gonzales in
November, 1999, according to the terms of his Will until
our article appeared in THE CANNON July 10.
Terefore, I want to share with you this week a few lines
from the Deed which conveyed his gif of land to the City
of Gonzales:
Beginning on page 4, 2. Te most stringent condition
under which this conveyance is made is that grantee (City
of Gonzales) shall use the property hereby conveyed as ...a
public park thereon, and for such purpose only and shall
never be sold. However, the testator (J. B. Wells, Jr.) rec-
ognized that its use as a park might terminate or never
take place and provided in subparagraph (1) (3) of ITEM
NINTH of his Will that if all or any part of the property
hereby conveyed is sold by the grantee ...then the pur-
chase money shall immediately revert to and become the
property of the Austin Presbyterian Seminary or its suc-
cessor. Tis conveyance is made with the understanding
and agreement between grantors (J. B. Wells) and grantee,
(City of Gonzales) which will be recognized and accepted
by grantee (City of Gonzales) by acceptance of this deed.....
Te Deed was dated November 3, 1999, and in 2014, J.
B. Wells desire that his gif to the City of Gonzales be kept
as a PUBLIC PARK has yet to be granted by the City of
Gonzales.
I am researching and discussing with attorneys fling an
Injunction to stop the City of Gonzales from building an-
other building on the land Mr. Wells donated to the City of
Gonzales for a Public Park.
Trough speaking to the City Council in person at City
Council Meetings, and emailing them hasnt done the job.
Tey need to hear it from a Judge.
I think Mr. Wells deserves to have his WILL and his
DEED, both legal documents, honored and I will continue
working towards that end.
Afer all, if you had spent time and money getting a Will
and Deed made according to law in order to donate a pub-
lic park for the citizens of Gonzales to use, wouldnt you
deserve for the city of Gonzales to honor it also?

NSCISD: Board considers
high school building options
though Booth said some interior room in
the building would be lost.
Te second option included complete
renovation of the interior and exterior of
the building. Tis option was estimated to
cost about $3.2 million, but there would be
no expected loss of interior room.
Te third and fnal option included de-
stroying the current building and con-
structing a new building that would be
fully into compliance with TEA standards.
Board members suggested establishing a
community committee to talk and discuss
the renovation plans.
Te school board also discussed how the
oil feld could be a possible career opportu-
nity for its students, with members noting
this would also provide students with an
incentive to stay drug free to keep jobs.
College readiness was also discussed. N-
SCISD is above the state average and is sit-
ting well, Booth said. Te District will also
be beefng up its gifed and talented pro-
gram to get students more involved.
Board members also acknowledged the
district has a homeless situation going on
within its schools. Booth said that ISIP
Vocabulary Screening shows that there
are vocabulary problems in pre-K because
of the poverty problems associated with
homeless students.
In other agenda items, the district is also
considering purchasing $25,000 in new
video cameras to improve the safety of its
campuses.
Board members received a presentation
given by District Consultant Tera Tomp-
son regarding district goal setting and fu-
ture improvements to the campuses.
Te district is planning to add new tech-
nology to its library using the Texas Li-
brary Initiative grant.

tor John Brumme later recovered the sto-
len motorcycle in Bastrop, where it was

Neeley and Davis were taken into custo-
dy and transported to the Gonzales County
Police Dept., where they were interviewed
and later transported for booking into the
Gonzales County Jail.
Gonzales Police have continued to fol-
low up on several recent instances of the
use or attempted use of counterfeit bills,
leading to several recent arrests, and Crow
said each case enables police to close in on
the origin of the counterfeit bills.
We are continuing our investigation
into the origin of the counterfeit money
and have developed promising leads,
Crow said in a news release. We urge any-
one hwo has information regarding the
suspects who are manufacturing the coun-
terfeit money to contact Greater Gonzales
County Crime Stoppers at 830-672-8477
or contact the Gonzales Police Department

area through a back door. Te kitchen area
leads into the Chambers conference room,
and Scheschke said that has created a num-
ber of issues.
Te Historical Commission has inter-
rupted business between staf and custom-
ers ... Tis has made customers and staf feel
uncomfortable at times, she said.
I support the Jail Museum Committees
position that the museum needs access to
the jails kitchen, Gordon said. If necessary,
the Jail Museum Committee will provide a
bolt-locking mechanism on the Chambers
side of the iron jail door, so that the Cham-
ber can control access to their ofces and
conference room.
Scheschke said the Historical Commis-
sion has also taken to re-arranging things in
the entrance area at the front of the build-
ing, where the Chamber is required to keep
a visitors sign-in sheet for documentation
to the state.
As of last Tuesday when I was away
from the ofce, the Historical Commission
moved the sign-in sheet and Veterans Me-
morial poster into the Chamber ofces, she
said. On my return, I moved these items
back to where they were to be placed ac-
cording to our contract with the State.
She said the Historical Commission also
began providing its own sign-in sheets spe-
cifcally for Old Jail visitors, but afer several
meetings she was able to get an agreement
for a single list so visitors would not have to
sign twice.
Gordon presented commissioners with
an $11,000 funding request for operations
in the upcoming budget. She said this would
allow the Historic Commission to continue
to hire part-time help fve hours per day.
Gordon added the Historic Commission
is currently seekingabout $40,000 in grant
funding to improve access as well as safety
and other issues.
She added that no additional funding
from the county will be sought for other
renovation work this year, although the
GCHC will continue to pursue a master
Courthouse Square design plan to include
the 1885 Jail as well as the County Court-
house and Justice Center.
In other action on Monday, commission-
ers passed a resolution supporting eforts to
get the Texas Department of Transportation
to build a turn lane on US Highway 183 at
County Road 244, near the location of the
new Benny Boyd auto dealership.
Tis is in the interest of public safety,
County Judge David Bird said. Tere are
some other things I think are going to be
going in next to the Dodge house, too.
Commissioners also heard from County
Treasurer Sheryl Barborak that sales-tax re-
ceipts for the county in June hit the $343,628
mark and that for the year, Gonzales County
is about $500,000 ahead of what was bud-
geted.
Commissioners tabled action on a con-
tract for new security cameras at the Court-
house and Justice Building.

FOGAS, Friends of Gonzales Animal Shel-
ter, has just received a grant from PetSmart
Charities to spay/neuter 500 free roaming
cats. Tis grant is named TNR: Te Cat So-
lution 3 and it provides $34,970 to be used
to Trap, Neuter, and Return (TNR) cats to
their territories so that un-fxed cats do not
move in and multiply . TNR is an approach
to cat population management that has been
successfully applied worldwide. It is the only
proven method to overcome natures vacu-
um efect which quickly repopulates an area
based on food and shelter resources.
We are very excited about this new grant,
said Mary Anne MacLean, spokesperson for
FOGAS. Were planning to spay/neuter and
provide a rabies shot and ear tattoo to 500
free roaming cats within Gonzales County.
Tese generous grants from PetSmart Chari-
ties are helping us deal with the large number
of unowned or free roaming cats that are also
part of the community. Tese cats control
the mice, rats and snakes and are important
to our wellbeing. We need them and we want
them.just not so many! TNR: Te Cat
Solution 3 will help us manage the cat popu-
lation.
City Manager Allen Barnes states, Weve
been able to have over 1000 free roaming
cats fxed on the 2012 and 2013 grants and
the results are very promising in terms of
reduced entries into our city shelter system.
Were appreciative that PetSmart Charities
and our local group FOGAS have provided
this program at no cost to the City.
Tis is an example of an independent
group, FOGAS, working very efectively with
the Citys Animal Control Department to
solve a pet overpopulation problem, com-
mented Police Chief Tim Crow who also
oversees the Animal Control Department.
To participate in this free spay/neuter pro-
gram for cats, just call Guadalupe Valley Vet-
erinary Clinic, 830-672-8676, and schedule
your appointment. Tis is open to all resi-
dents of Gonzales County. Or for further in-
formation, call FOGAS at 830-857-1616.
FOGAS is a 501c3 charitable organization
founded in 2004. Since our inception, FO-
GAS has spayed/neutered over 3000 shelter
orphans and another 3200 pets owned by
residents of our Community. We have also
re-homed over 4000 cats and dogs. Tese
spay/neuter surgeries were done with no cost
to the owners, the City of Gonzales or Gon-
zales County. Due to these eforts the City of
Gonzales was able to achieve no kill shelter
status almost 5 years ago.
Te candidates seeking
Texas 34th Congressional
District seat struck poses
supportive of their general
party lines following the an-
nouncement this week by
Texas Gov. Rick Perry send-
ing 1,000 Texas National
Guardsmen to the border
to aid DPS criminal-supres-
sion eforts.
Congressman Filemon
Vela (D-Brownsville) said
Perrys decision does not
make sense, while Republi-
can challenger Larry Smith
of Yorktown voiced support
for the Governors move,
saying the troops are need-
ed because the administra-
tion is exercising blatant
hypocrisy.
One of the primary
objections I have to the
Cornyn-Cuellar border plan
is its support for militariza-
tion of the southern border,
Vela said in a news release.
I believe a more rational
approach to the current
unaccompanied child crisis
would be to: (1) provide the
needed resources and help
to address cartel activity in
Central America, Mexico
and across the U.S.; (2) sup-
port Customs and Border
Protection by providing the
necessary funding to in-
crease the number of agents
and support personnel to
process the infux of immi-
grants while allowing the
agency to continue to ac-
complish their mission; and
(3) provide funding to the
immigrant court system to
allow for speedier determi-
nations pursuant to current
law as to whether an undoc-
umented immigrant should
remain in this country or be
sent back while protecting
due process requirements of
the U.S. Constitution.
If Governor Perry is so
eager to deploy the National
Guard, he should do so by
sending them to cities with
the most crime, which are
not along the border, Vela
added. Drug cartels are
present in cities across the
U.S. and have been for
many years. Tus, send-
ing the National Guard to a
relatively safe region of the
state, to combat a problem
that impacts the entire state
and nation does not make
sense.
Smith, a combat veteran,
said Velas characteriza-
tion of the border region as
safe is way of target.
In a press release, Vela
said that the border is rela-
tively safe and needs no ad-
ditional protection. When
dead children are found
foating in the Rio Grande
during this border surge,
such a statement not only
defes reality but compas-
sion as well, a news release
from Smith reads.
Last year, a young moth-
er with a one-year-old child
tried to breach the barrier
at the White House, Smith
continued. Miriam Carey
was shot by capitol police
and died. President Obama
has no problem with guards
who use guns to protect the
border fence around his
yard, but he couldnt care
less for the security of oth-
ers property or the security
of our nations borders.

AP History course draws criticism
Smiley
AUSTIN Critics urged the State
Board of Education on Friday to do
what it could to prevent or delay Tex-
as schools from implementing a new
Advanced Placement U.S. history
course that the authors admit is based
on the outlawed Common Core Stan-
dards.
Te AP History course is designed
by the College Board, which adminis-
ters not only the AP test but also the
college-placement ACT and SAT ex-
ams. Te College Board is now head-
ed by David Coleman, widely viewed
as the architect of the Common Core
Standards, which have been rejected
by Texas.
Board member Ken Mercer, R-San
Antonio, asked the board to delay the
new AP history curriculum and test
for at least a year. Te Texas Legisla-
ture passed a bill in 2013 prohibiting
the state education agency and local
school districts from adopting the
Common Core Standards.
Mercer said the old AP History
framework was only fve pages long,
while the new framework is 98 pages
long. He said that many important
people and events in U.S. history,
including the American Revolution
and World War II, were not covered
in the materials. Further, he said, the
materials focus on negative aspects of
capitalism rather than its positive at-
tributes.
Alice Linahan, leader of the #CanI-
See activist parent group, charged the
late changes to the AP history course
gives Texas teachers little choice but
to teach to the test.
Tis is radical departure from
what our Texas teachers are accus-
tomed to, Linahan said. Were shif-
ing from passing a Texas US history
state exam, based on our Texas TEKS,
that are traditional, foundational
and knowledge-based, and going to
APUSH, which has a completely dif-
ferent philosophy of education.
Teacher Mary Bowen told the
board the time frame for implemen-
tation will create problems and
that the College Boards framework
isnt history.
Te intention is that teachers will
implement a course ...to bring into
our schools revisionism in history,
Bowen said.
Education researcher and text-
book author Jeanine McGregor said
the unique way Common Core-style
questions are structured is one ve-
hicle to transmit revisionist thinking.
Te mode does not include the
outstanding achievements of our
country, she said. If the sample
questions in the framework are indic-
ative of what is to come, they are for-
matted in what is called the subjective
structure ... in other words, if you do
not hold the same valuesas the posi-
tion of the test designer, your success
(in passing the test) is in question.
Common Core is a federally-pro-
moted curriculum framework for
kindergarten through 12th grade
should learn in English and math at
each grade level. Te standards were
originally adopted before they were
even completed by 48 states, but sev-
eral states have since withdrawn. Tex-
as and Alaska were the only two states
to reject the standards outright.
Te Texas Education Agencys gen-
eral counsel told the board that the
SBOE has no authority to block the
use of the framework or the AP his-
tory exam. Several of the cativists tes-
tifying said they will seek a decision
from Texas Attorney General Greg
Abbott to block the use of the frame-
work and test.
State Sen. Dan Patrick, who au-
thored the bill that prohibits the use
of Common Core in Texas, ofered
his support to Mercers motion to
prevent Common Core from being
brought into Texas via a backdoor.
Board vice chairman Bill Ratlif of
Mount Pleasant said he would ofer
a proposal at the next SBOE meeting
to require all AP classes to cover the
state-approved TEKS, in addition to
any College Board requirements.
If you make that as a motion sir, I
will give you a second on it, Mercer
said.

Central Texas, will pay the new rate of $175 per
acre-foot beginning with the January 2015 bill-
ing cycle. Te current rate is $151 per acre-foot.
(One acre-foot is just under 326,000 gallons.)
Te new frm customer rate also will apply to
domestic use customers who draw water di-
rectly from the Highland Lakes.
Te Board also approved new rates for inter-
ruptible customers in the Garwood Irrigation
Division. Beginning this year, Garwood cus-
tomers will pay an efective diversion rate of
$39.37 per acre-foot, a 20 percent increase. Te
Board decided not to set new rates for the Gulf
Coast and Lakeside irrigation divisions until
water is available for them.
Interruptible customers such as Gulf Coast
and Lakeside have not received water from the
Highland Lakes in 2012, 2013 and 2014 be-
cause of the severe drought. Customers in the
Garwood division have been receiving a lim-
ited amount of water from the Highland Lakes
during this drought because of provisions in
the contract in which LCRA purchased the
Garwood water rights."Tis drought has had a
tremendous impact on every aspect of LCRAs
water operations," LCRA General Manager
Phil Wilson said. "Te drought rate is neces-
sary to cover our costs during this drought
because we are selling less water now. We are
in the same situation many of our customers
and other water utilities are in, and thats having
fxed costs that dont change, even though you
are selling less water. When the drought breaks
and water supplies are greater, those costs will
be spread over a larger customer base."
Firm customers are mainly cities and indus-
tries, but also include residential property own-
ers who pump water directly from the High-
land Lakes for domestic use. Firm customers
pay a premium for water that is guaranteed to
be available even during a repeat of conditions
seen in the worst drought in the region's his-
tory, the 10-year drought from 1947 to 1957.

Most think of Christ as meek and
mild. Te gentle Savior always ready
to respond even to His enemies with
kindness. Surely, this is a Biblical pic-
ture of Christ, and I would never say
otherwise.
Jesus described Himself as meek
and lowly in heart. (Matthew 11:29)
We read the following statement in
Pauls writing to the Corinthians,
Now, I Paul, myself am pleading
with you by the meekness and gentle-
ness of Christ. (II Corinthians 10:1)
Tis article is not meant to suggest
that our Lord Jesus is not the epito-
me of love, humility, and gentleness.
However, I do want to say that to
only consider this aspect of Christ is
to have only a partial and inadequate
view of Christ.
As our church has continued to
study Matthews gospel, we recently
came to the following statement as
Jesus questioned the Pharisees about
their understanding of who Christ
really is. Tey said to Him. Te son
of David. He said to them, how then
does David in the Spirit call Him
Lord, saying; Te Lord said to my
Lord, sit at my right hand, till I make
Your enemies Your footstool. (Mat-
thew 22:42-44)
Te Pharisees were right that Mes-
siah would be the son or descendant
of David. Yet, their answer was in-
adequate.
Quoting from Psalm 110, Jesus
pointed out that David referred to
the coming Messiah as my Lord.
Jesus is the Son of God. Tis means
that He shares the very nature of God
the Father. As Hebrews 1 says, He is
the express image of His person.
(Hebrews 1:3) He is not only the de-
scendant of David. He is Lord and
God.
Some day the enemies of Christ
will be at his feet. Tis is a picture of
subjugation.
When a defeated enemy was
brought before an ancient eastern
monarch, the ruler would make the
prisoner prostrate himself at his feet.
Te king would place his foot on the
neck of the enemy as if he were a
footstool.
Te Scripture repeatedly shows
that Christ will rule and reign. He is
at this point exalted to the right hand
of the Father, angels and authorities
and powers having been made sub-
ject to Him. (I Peter 3:22) Tere-
fore God also has highly exalted
Him and given Him the name that is
above every name, that at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow, of
those in heaven, and of those on
earth, and of those under the earth,
and that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-
11)
When Christ came to earth this
marked what is called His state of
humiliation. He has now passed
from His state of humiliation to His
state of glory. Te entire universe is
called to bow to Christ as Lord and
God.
Take heed to the pointed and even
terrifying language of Psalm 2, Te
Lord has said to Me, You are My Son.
Today I have begotten You. Ask of
Me, and I will give you the nations for
Your inheritance, and the ends of the
earth for your possession. You shall
break them with a rod of iron; You
shall dash them in pieces like a pot-
ters vessel. Now, therefore, be wise,
O kings; be instructed, you judges of
the earth. Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the
Son, lest He be angry, and you perish
in the way, when His wrath is kindled
but a little. Blessed are all those who
put their trust in Him. (Psalm 2:7-
12)
Notice two things in the passage
just given. First, the certainty of
judgment to come. Secondly, the of-
fer of mercy Kiss the Son, put your
trust in Him.
Te meek and gentle Christ calls
out to you today. Come unto Me, all
you who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. Take My
yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you shall fnd rest for your souls.
(Matthew 11:28-29) Yet, those that
refuse Him will sufer His wrath for-
ever and ever.
Revelation chapter 6 gives a terrify-
ing look at the wrath of Christ. And
the kings of the earth, the great men,
the rich men, the commanders, the
mighty men, every slave and every
free man, hid themselves in the caves
and in the rocks of the mountains, and
said to the mountains and the rocks,
fall on us and hide us from the face of
Him who sits on the throne and from
the wrath of the Lamb! For the great
day of His wrath is come, and who is
able to stand? (Revelation 6:15-17)
Who can stand? Only those who in
humble repentance have submitted to
Christ by faith. Trust Him today.

July 24, 1880
On this day in 1880, the town of
Kyle was established when David E.
Moore and Fergus Kyle (for whom the
town was named) deeded 200 acres
for a townsite to the International-
Great Northern Railroad. Kyle is on In-
terstate Highway 35 eight miles north
of San Marcos and twenty miles south
of Austin in northeastern Hays Coun-
ty. The new town drew residents and
businesses from Mountain City, three
miles west, and Blanco, some forty
miles west. Tom Martin operated
the first business in Kyle. The com-
munitys population exceeded 500
by 1882 but later declined. Kyle was
incorporated in 1928 as a general-
law city with a mayor and five council
members. In 1937 Mary Kyle Hartson,
a seventy-two-year-old great-grand-
mother and the daughter of Fergus
Kyle, was elected mayor by a write-in
vote; her victory attracted national
attention, including a feature story in
Life magazine which proclaimed her
the only woman mayor in Texas. In
the early 1940s Kyle was noted as the
only Texas town with an all-woman
government. In the year 2000 Kyle
contained some 200 businesses and
5,314 inhabitants.

"It should be a great year
for gardening this year," said
Gonzales Master Gardener
President Gail Johnson.
"Te weather predictions are
for better rainfall and cooler
temperatures which we have
already seen this summer. It
will be a great year to plan,
plant, renew, and revitalize
our gardens and the Texas
Master Gardener class is the
best way I know to get ahead
of it."
Te Gonzales Master
Gardeners will ofer their
extensive Texas Master Gar-
dener training class again
this year. Classes start Sep-
tember 9th and conclude
May 19th of 2015. Classes
are held at 623 Fair Street in
Gonzales on Tuesday morn-
ings from 8:30 am to 12:30
pm approximately every
two weeks. Te spacing be-
tween classes varies slightly
to accommodate holidays,
Christmas break and spring
break.
"Our program is designed
to teach a broad fundamen-
tal background in horticul-
ture," said David DeMent,
past president and Class
Coordinator. "We give our
students a solid scientifc
foundation as well as a lot of
practical and applied train-
ing. Our classes include not
only botany and soil science
but how to start and grow
seeds and cuttings, prepare
soil mixtures and install and
maintain irrigation in the
most water efcient manner.
We are particularly proud of
the excellent speakers we are
able to ofer our classes. Ev-
ery year, our students tell us
that the class was so much
more than they expected."
Te Texas Master Gar-
dener program is a program
of Texas A&M AgriLife Ex-
tension designed to teach
and promote good garden-
ing practices. Te Gon-
zales association conducts

Sexton. Students who com-
plete the program volunteer

of 50 hours their frst year
to earn their certifcation
as a Texas Master Gardener.
"Honestly," said Fran Saliger,
Vice President and volun-
teer coordinator for the
Gonzales Master Gardeners,
"I think our students learn
as much from their volun-
teer activities as they do
from the classes. When you
work alongside other Mas-
ter Gardeners, you pick up
a lot from what they show
and teach. Our volunteer
projects are directed toward
teaching in the community
which is Extension's mis-
sion. "

On the afernoon of July
21, members of the Saturn
Friendship Club brought
their favorite salad to the Old
School House in Cistern for
their annual Salad Luncheon.
Sharon and Vivian Benton
served as hostesses for the af-
ternoon. As a tribute to our
countrys birthday being in
July, the meeting table was
decorated in red, white, and
blue with other symbols rep-
resenting the Fourth of July
celebration. Te theme of the
afernoon was recognizing
and honoring the 50 states of
the U.S.A. As the ladies and
guests arrived they enjoyed
visiting and discussing the
activities of the summer.
At one oclock the presi-
dent, Sue Kalinec, called the
meeting to order and asked
Eva Boscamp to ask the bless-
ing of the food. Te serving
table held an assortment of
delicious and enticing vegeta-
ble and fruit salads including
Cherry Delight. Tere were
also tuna salad, deviled eggs,
corn pudding, and seven lay-
er Mexican salad with corn
chips in the shape of Texas.
Drinks of choice were also
ofered.
As the salad meal ended,
Sue Kalinec and Mary Kelly
ofered wafe bowls flled
with Blue Bell Vanilla Ice
Cream and toppings of hot
fudge, caramel, and cherry
sauces, sliced strawberries,
blue berries, crushed pineap-
ple, chopped nuts and Reddi
Whip. Other dessert choices
were chocolate chip cook-
ies and cherry cream pie.
(Whew! So many choices not
to mention so many calories.)
As everyone was enjoy-
ing the delicious vanilla ice
cream sundaes, Eva Boscamp
told of how the favor of Va-
nilla was really a special God
given treat.
Until recent times, Mexico
was the only producer of va-
nilla. In 1520 Cortes traveled
down to Mexico and learned
to love the favor of vanilla.
He took a supply of vanilla
beans back with him to Eu-
rope. For the next 300 years,
the Europeans tried but failed
to produce vanilla. Vanilla
grows up a tree as a vine.
Eventually the vine produces
an orchid. In order to make
the vanilla bean, the orchid
must be pollinated. Te prob-
lem is, it only blooms one
morning per year for pollina-
tion. If it isnt pollinated with
12 hours it withers. To make
things even more difcult, a
hood like membrane covers
the part of the vanilla orchid
which produces pollen. Tis
makes the production of the
vanilla bean very difcult.
It was not until 1836 that
Charles Francois Antoine
Morren traveled down to
Mexico to fgure out why
they werent able to produce
vanilla beans in Europe. As
he was studying the vanilla
orchids, his attention was
drawn to a tiny little bee,
known as the Mexican Me-
lipona Bee. It visited each of
the orchid blooms, landed
on them, lifed the little hood
like membrane, collected
some pollen then few of to
the next fower. Tis tiny little
stingless bee, smaller than a
red ant was pollinating the
orchid. Afer some time, the
orchid produced a vanilla
bean.
To this day, the Mexican
Melipona Bee is the only in-
sect that is known to polli-
nate the vanilla orchid. With-
out this little bee we simply
would not have vanilla today.
Te bee and the vanilla vine
had to be created at the exact
same time. Not to mention
this bee had to be given spe-
cifc information about how
to pollinate the vanilla or-
chid. No other insect knows
how to do this.
So every time you enjoy
anything favored with va-
nilla, especially vanilla ice
cream, remember that the
delicious favor proclaims the
glory of God!
When everyone had fn-
ished eating, the meeting was
called to order by the presi-
dent. Pledges of Allegiance
were given to the United
States fag and the Texas fag.
Te club prayer and the club
motto were recited in uni-
son. Nancy Littlefeld, devo-
tional leader, was on vacation
traveling with her husband
through many of the western
states. She had sent an email
telling about their trip. Eva
Boscamp read it to the group.
Nancy stated when traveling
west, how the confusing time
zone changes messed up their
internal clocks. She wondered
what God thought about
man putting boundaries on
time. She wrote of traveling
through a prairie in Arizona
and suddenly driving into a
mountain oasis with trees,
rocks and water. Each area
of the country seems to have
unique and amazing beauty.
While in Tucson they visited
with a former club member,
Frances Griggs, now living
near Tucson.
Tey were on their way to
Glacier National Park located
in the U.S. state of Montana,
on the CanadaUnited States
border with the Canadian
provinces of Alberta and
British Columbia. She re-
called traveling with her fam-
ily on the Going to the Sun
Highway when it was being
built many years ago.
Her closing statement was,
I pray that your summer
will bring blessings of good
friends, beautiful glimpses
of Gods marvelous creations
and precious memories of the
past! Remember that all good
gifs come from God.
Members bringing guests
introduced them. Jo Brun-
ners guest was her grand-
daughter Stephanie Brunner
from Houston. Bert Coles
guest was her daughter-in-
law, Lamduan Cole, who is
from Tailand but is present-
ly living in Killeen while her
husband is stationed at Fort
Hood. Sharon Benton intro-
duced her granddaughters,
Mcinzie Ritchey who lives in
Houston and Haleigh Benton
who lives in Corpus Christi.
Tey are also the great-
granddaughters of Vivian
Benton. Te president gave a
welcome to each guest. .
Roll call was answered by
giving the name of the town
and state where they were
born. Te Texas cities and
towns were Houston, Temple,
Waelder, Alice, Fort Worth,
Del Rio, San Antonio, Shiner
and Yorktown. One member
was born in Dallas, Oregon
and another in Oxford, North
Carolina. Tree of the births
had been at home and the
others in a hospital. Because
the Secretary/Treasurer was
unable to attend the meeting,
the minutes and treasurers
report will be presented in
August. Te president had a
number of upcoming issues
concerning the club. Tey
were mentioned and will be
discussed and voted on at
a later date. Jo Brunner an-
nounced that the Cistern
Catholic Church Picnic will
be on August 24th at 11:00
AM. She urged everyone to
come. Te business session
of the meeting was then ad-
journed.
Te hostesses had two
mind boggling games to be
played. Te frst was to write
down the names of as many
of the ffy states as possible
in a set amount of time. Lib-
by Hopkins and Sue Kalinec
each recorded 48 of the 50
states and were given priz-
es. Te next game was even
harder. Sheets listing the 50
states were handed out and
instructions were given to
list as many capitols as pos-
sible in an allotted time.
Mary Kelly was able to get
19 correct. She also received
a prize. Elizabeth Broschs
name was drawn for the
door prize.
Te August 18th meet-
ing will be a 1:00 PM at the
School House in Cistern with
Eva Boscamp and Sandy Parr
serving as the hostesses.

State of Treason a fanciful romp that hits close to reality
By EVA BOSCAMP
Special to The Cannon
Te President of the United
States is a power-mad egomaniac
fully convinced that anyone op-
posed to his near-dictatorial rule
is a traitor and must be destroyed
literally.
When Texas defes him, its time
to get rough.
Te President shouldve paid at-
tention to the old advertising slo-
gan: Dont Mess With Texas.
A no-holds-barred struggle for
power between Washington and
Austin serves as the backdrop for
Dave Roberts State of Treason
(Defance Press, 2014). Its a gutsy
political thriller with non-stop
action, combining Tom-Clancy-
esque technical and political detail
alongside dialogue and fast-mov-
ing action reminiscent of Western
novels.
State of Treason picks up where
Roberts frst tale about a modern-
day Texas Revolution, Patriots of
Treason, lef of: a real-live, armed
rebellion is festering in Texas afer
power-crazed President Tyrrell
Johnson has gone of the deep end
trying to force the Lone Star State
into compliance with his policies.
Hes ordered arrests targeting con-
servative and Tea Party individu-
als for prosecution in connection
with an assassination attempt
on his life even though the
evidence becomes clear that the
would-be assassin was an Islamic
terrorist who infltrated the Presi-
dents inner circle.
Afer Texas Gov. Brent Cooper
orders legendary Texas Ranger
Pops Younger to rescue one Tea
Party activist who has been un-
lawfully detained, Johnsons re-
sponse opens State of Treason. A
brazen commando-style attack by
federal agents fying out of a Mexi-
can airport to arrest the Governor
of Texas winds up with both the
Governor and Lieutenant Gover-
nor brutally executed.
Te atrocity turns sentiment
against the Administration, espe-
cially in Texas, and the new Gov-
ernor picks up right where the
late one lef of, which only makes
the President more determined to
crush these cowboys.
Te window for compromise
and goodwill narrows consider-
ably afer that, needless to say.
Te fast-paced action follows a
broad cast of characters in both
the White House and in Austin as
Roberts weaves a tale that is very
fanciful without being completely
unbelievable.
Tere is a Secretary of State who
will no doubt remind the reader of
a certain former female Secretary
of State with presidential ambi-
tions, who tries to fnd compro-
mise on her own and is in the end
disavowed by the President.
While the Texas government
and civil ofcials who emerge as
the leaders of a new nation are
presented as principled and pa-
triotic, they are also not without
fault. Tey make mistakes, and
mistakes get people killed.
While full-scale civil war never
erupts primarily thanks to the
fact that Americas military com-
manders are not mindless drones
who only follow orders blood
is shed. It is not a peaceful novel.
Te new Governor orders the
Texas National Guard and Texas
State Guard to take control of all
U.S. military facilities in Texas,
including nuclear Minuteman
missile sites. He then calls for a
statewide plebescite on indepen-
dence.
Te President calls even the
act of casting a ballot in such an
election as an act of treason,
and tries to intervene only to
have a young Tejano girls mov-
ing death and the gutsy actions
of a fearless 71-year-old Texas
Rangers foil his plans.
Tose who follow domestic po-
litical events will see just about
every underlying power struggle
which creates todays debate cov-
ered: the political Lefs attempts
to re-write the Constitution and
history and the conservative
movements Line in the Sand
prohibtion against any more com-
promise.
Attempts to rewrite the First
Amendment, get rid of the Sec-
ond, to push illegal immigration
onto people for purely political
reasons, the intractability of the
federal bureaucracy all play key
roles as Roberts fcticious State of
Treason unfolds.
Its fction. Its a stretch of the
imagination. And we can all only
hope it stays that way.

It was Flannery
OConnor, noted
American writer of
novels and short stories,
who made the following
observation: Everywhere
I go Im asked if I think
the university stifles
writers. My opinion is
that they dont stifle
enough of them.
In Saudi Arabia, there
is an entire police unit
dedicated solely to the
pursuit of crimes of
witchcraft.
Lee DeForest, known
as the Father of Radio,
said in 1926, While
theoretically and
technically television may
be feasible, commercially
and financially I consider
it an impossibility, a
development of which we
need to waste little time
dreaming.
Eleanor Ritchey was the
granddaughter of Philip
John Bayer, founder of
Quaker State Oil. She
was the sole inheritor of
her grandfathers fortune,
and she had no children
of her own. When she
died in 1968 she was
worth $12 million. Other
than some shoes (1,700
pairs) and stationery
(1,200 boxes) that she left
to the Salvation Army,
her entire estate was used
to create a trust for the
150 stray dogs she had
adopted. The pets lived in
luxury, dying of old age
one by one, until 1984,
when the last one -- the
richest dog in the country
-- also succumbed.
The remainder of the
inheritance then went to
Auburn University.
If youre planning a
trip to Syracuse, N.Y.,
you might want to take
a detour about 35 miles
east to the small town of
Verona. There you can
visit the worlds smallest
church -- but dont plan
to go in and have a seat.
Cross Island Chapel is
only 6 feet by 3.5 feet.
The minister can stand
inside, but everyone else
has to stay outside.

Summer Track:
TAAF state meet set for
Thursday in College Station
Continuedfrompage20
days afer he turned 18 in Midland. He was bucked of at
7.98 but recalled loving the professional atmosphere that
is PBR.
An interesting fact that many people may not know
about Johnson is that when hes not riding bulls, you can
fnd him riding his dirt bike out on the track; he has a
strong love for Motocross.
When asked why he chose to start in the Pro Bull Riding
Pro Touring Division?
He said, I started in the PBR TPD because thats all I had
my eyes on. I wanted to be with the best bulls and the best
competition in the industry and PBR is where it was at.
For Johnson, its not about making this big name for
himself.
I mean yeah, its cool and fun, but the bigger picture
for me is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christs light shining
through me, and glorifying him through the talent he has
blessed me with.
Johnson said he lives by the verse Matthew 19:26 Hu-
manly speaking its impossible, but with God all things are
possible.
He said he was excited about returning to Gonzales for
his frst event since hip surgery last year.
It feels great to be back in Gonzales, this is one of the
events that really got my confdence up, and made 2012
such a great year for me. Its a great atmosphere and has s
great fan base.
Cody Johnson fans can next catch him riding in Mon-
roe, Iowa for a PBR event this weekend, then all over the
country.

Cuero Gobblers (15-4A
DII)
Cuero is coming of of
an 8-4, regional semifnals
year in 2013. Te Gobblers
(ranked No. 11 pre-season
by DCTF) welcome back
25 lettermen with eight of-
fensive and seven defensive
starters. Cuero is picked to
fnish second in the district
behind Sinton.
Te Gobbler ofensive
will be led by four-year
starting running back and
UTSA-commit DAnthony
Hopkins (273-1,801, 26
touchdowns). Cuero will
also have quarterback Jar-
ed Venor (92-144, 1,383
yards, 14 touchdowns) and
receiving threat DAndre
Gallagher (29-360, touch-
down) back as well.
Te defense will be
speared by District Defen-
sive Newcomer linebacker
Zech Hopkins (144 tack-
les), who is the younger
brother of DAnthony
Hopkins. A few other key
defenders are end Colby
Ebrom and defensive back
Tristan Barefeld.
Hallettsville Brahmas
(15-3A DI)
Te preseason No. 1 Hal-
lettsville Brahmas had an-
other great year in 2013,
going 13-1 and making the
regional semifnals.
Head coach Tommy
Psencik gets 18 lettermen
and six starters on either
side of the ball back. On
ofense, Hallettsville will
need to fnd a replacement
for Nate Kowalik who
transferred to district foe
Goliad when his father was
named principal at Goliad
High School. Quarterback
Brent Motal, in a backup
role last year, threw just two
passes. Te Brahmas have
experience in the ofensive
skilled positions with wide
receiver Jimario Grounds
(61-1,012, 12 touchdowns)
and Trenton McGee (62-
1,137 17 touchdowns).
Hallettsville will look to
running back Kaden Hardt
(121-1,100 yards, 11 touch-
downs) to set the pace in
the running attack.
On the defense, end Reid
Leopold (103 tackles) has
been a varsity starter for
three years and Grounds
(54 tackles, 9 interceptions)
will help out the secondary.
Luling Eagles (13-3A
DI)
Te No. 18 Eagles are
picked to win 13-3A DI
with 23 returning players,
six ofensive and fve defen-
sive starters from an 8-3 (4-
2) team. Luling made the
playofs in 2012 as well and
looks to extend their streak
of playof qualifcation.
Ofensive threats the
Eagles will count on this
year for yards will be run-
ning back Brenden Cubit
and wide receiver Taylen
Moore with Donate Green,
Roger Miles and Eddie Or-
donez helping anchor the
line.
Leaders on the defen-
sive side of the ball will be
linemen Kelvin Larkin and
Kaylon Coe, linebacker
Corey Bermudez and de-
fensive back Shaf Cubit.
Nixon-Smiley Mustangs
(14-3A DII)
Te Mustangs qualifed
for the playofs for the frst
time since the 2005 sea-
son but had a challenge
in getting past ofensive
juggernaut Refugio in the
frst round. Nixon-Smiley
fnished with a 6-5 (3-4)
record and should improve
on that with 18 returning
players, six ofensive start-
ers and seven defensive
starters. Tey are picked
to fnish in ffh place but
likely could make into the
playofs for the second
straight season.
Te Mustangs are set at
skilled position with the
return of quarterback Nick
Pena, running back Kevin
Martinez and wide receiver
Sam Moore. Center Riley
Samford and lineman Co-
leton Trammell will lead
the charge from up front.
Nixon-Smileys defensive
eforts will be led by line-
backers Justin Ramos and
Mikel Scarbrough.
Shiner Comanches (15-
2A DI)
Te 2013 Class 1A state
semifnalists Comanches
(ranked No. 6 preseason)
have made the playofs ev-
ery season since 2000. Tey
came within two quarters
of a state title to fnish 11-4
and 3-1.
Te Comanches are
picked second in a district
that incorporates power-
houses Schulenburg and
Refugio, rival Flatonia as
well as Ganado and Wei-
mar.
Te Comanches return
10 lettermen and 10 (fve
ofense, fve defensive)
starters.
With the departure of
versatile Jacob Staford
and hard-nosed runner
Marcus Coleman, running
back Chad Neubauer (165-
1,032, 6 touchdowns) will
play a huge role in Shiners
ofensive success. Center
Micah Morkovsky will help
clear the way for Neubauer
and Co.
End Dillon Kalina (76
tackles, 12 sacks) and de-
fensive back Blake Mi-
chalec (5 interceptions)
will be the key players on
the Shiner defense.
Flatonia Bulldogs (15-
2A DI)
Te Flatonia Bulldogs
took a huge leap in 2013
by going 9-3 and making it
to the regional fnal, where
they fell to rival Shiner, 35-
0, Te Dogs get 22 players
back and 14 starters (seven
ofense, seven defense).
Flatonia will ask a lot on
both sides of the ball from
running back-linebacker
Marcus Mica (93-487, 6
touchdowns, 109 tackles
on defense). Wide receiver
Gus Venegas (29-514, 5
touchdowns) could also
share time with Casen No-
vak at quarterback.
Mica will get help on de-
fense from defensive back
Jose Manzano and end Ty
Ponder.
Shiner St. Paul (TAPPS
DIII-3)
Shiner St. Paul had a
very uncharacteristic year
in 2013, winning just two
games (2-6 and 2-3). Te
Cardinals only had two se-
niors and will have a vastly
improved team this year
with two dozen return-
ing players and 19 starters
back. Tey were picked to
fnished runner up in the
district.
St. Pauls ofense will
likely rely on running
backs TJ Bell (1,482 yards,
17 touchdowns) and Jed
Janecek. Lineman Rea-
gen Beal, tight end Colton
Machart and quarterback
Austin Barton will have big

AREA FOOTBALL TEAMS: Good season in the forecast
Cody Johnson, who fn-
ished second in this years
Gonzales PBR event afer
winning it in 2012, said he
caught the bull-riding fever
at an early age.
I remember my mom
and dad picking me up
from daycare, they had
a sheep riding fyer with
them and asked me if I
wanted to try it, and I said
yes, I loved the challenge.
Johnson has had many
inspirations and infuences
in his career. In response
to the question, what guys
did you look up to motivate
you to become a bull rider?
He said, My dad, he rode
bulls and bareback horses.
Other than him Ive really
looked up to Chris Shivers.
Another question asked
triggered Johnson to once
again go back to his early
childhood when he got on
the sheep in a mutton-bus-
tin competition.
I got on my frst sheep
when I was 4, rode great
and loved it!
Hes graduated to the
toughest bulls in the world
now, and said he does
quite a lot to get prepared
for events, ranging from
working out, doing yoga/
stretching, all the way to
eating a very strict diet.
Johnson entered his frst
Pro Bull Riding event three

Texas Football Magazine is
expecting a good year from
area football teams.
Te publication is pre-
dicting seven teams to
qualify for the playofs with
two more squads coming
very close.
Tis will be the frst year
for the new University In-
terscholastic League (UIL)
classifcations, with 5A be-
ing designated as 6A, 4A to
5A, 3A to 4A, 2A to 3A, 1A
to 2A and six-man teams
will be called 1A.
Teams in 4A to 2A will
be divided into Division I
and Division II, on enroll-
ment fgures.
Gonzales Apaches (15-
4A D1)
First-year head coach
Kodi Crane has 18 letter-
man returning along with
fve ofensive and seven
defensive starters from
the 9-5 state quarterfnal-
ist team, the third team in
school history to do so.
Te Apaches are pre-
dicted to fnish runner up
in the district as the Tribe
has a wealth of players re-
turning, including wide
recevier-defensive back
Darrance James, running
back Alyas Ramirez, quar-
terback Brant Philippus,
defensive back Grayson
Meredith, linebacker Jamie
Tellez, linebacker Zach Ak-
ers, defensive ends Travis
Schauer and Wade Miller.
Last year, Ramirez played
quarterback (43-101, 582
yards, 6 interceptions, 7
touchdowns) and running
back (345-2,456, 31 touch-
downs). James was a key
two-way starter with 440
yards receiving and seven
touchdowns as receiver,
362 yards on the ground
and was solid in the sec-
ondary. Meredith (70 tack-
les, 5 interceptions), Tellez
(78 tackles) along with Ak-
ers and Schauer will anchor
the defense.
Yoakum Bulldogs (15-
4A DII)
Te Yoakum Bulldogs
have qualifed for the play-
ofs two years in a row and
are gunning for another
one. Yoakum returns 17
players and seven starters
on both sides of the ball,
and are predicted to fnish
fourth for another playof
run.
Te Dogs will ask a lot of
TCU-commit TreVontae
Tre Hights, who passed
for 1,072 yards, and ran for
1,425 yards and 20 scores
at quarterback and played
safety. He was injured in the
bi-district round against
Wharton but should have
another solid year. Center
Spencer Brandt, wide re-
ceiver Austin McCoy, full-
back Travious Hights and
running back DaVontay
Mathis will lend some sup-
port on ofense.

Te Gonzales Texas Am-
ateur Athletic Federation
(TAAF) summer track pro-
gram will cap of its 2014
season with 26 athletes tak-
ing part in the state meet
Aug.1 in College Station.
Te athletes punched
their ticket at the TAAF
qualifying meet July 11 in
Hutto.
Proud of the work ethic
the athletes have shown
this summer, summer
track coach Cully Doyle
said. Summer time is
where you get better and
summer time work makes
for a fun in-school track
season.
Krisslynn Sexton will
compete in the18-and-
under 200-meter run, 100,
mile relay and the shot put
at state.
Qualifying for the state
meet is a big accomplish-
ment for me since this is
my frst year in summer
track and I am excited, she
said.
Sexton said she will need
to come of the blocks faster
in the state meet to capture
her goal time in the 100
Sexton will run a leg on
the mile-relay team.
Te mile relay team ran
well but hopefully we will
do better at state, she said.
Sexton usually does not
run the 100 but came away
with a third place at the
qualifer.
I know what to expect
at state in the 100, she said.
Sexton said she will have
to throw 30 feet or farther
in the shot put.
Molly Barnick will do the
18-and-under high jump
and the triple jump.
I am excited to be doing
the high jump against high-
level competition, she said.
If I can hit 5 feet, 2 inches,
I will be happy. I have been
getting 5-0 in the other
meets.
Te qualifying meet was
the frst time Barnick had
done the triple jump and
she ended up jumping 30-
1. She said wants to reach
33-0.
Ashton Williams will be
running in the18-and-un-
der 800.
I am looking to break
my best time of two-fat,
he said. I am trying for 1
minute, 57 seconds or so.
Josie Stowers is compet-
ing in the 16-and-under
high jump and the 100
hurdles.
I would like to place in
the 100 hurdles because I
am not used to running in
the event, she said. It was
the frst time to run the 100
hurdles since the school
year.
Stowers want to hit 5-2
at the high jump because
that would set her personal
record, the current one be-
ing 5-0.
Maggie Barnick will fol-
low in older sister Mollys
footsteps by doing the high
jump for the 12-and-under.
I hope to get 4-6 as that
is the height I missed last
time, she said. If I try
hard enough, I can accom-
plish it. I have been getting
4-4 throughout the season.
Madison Blundell will be
running an anchor on the
12-and-under mile-relay
team.
I think we have a chance
to win state. We had one
of our fastest times at the
qualifer, she said. My
time was 1:15 at qualifying
and I am going to try for
1:00 to 1:10 at state.
Kelsey Hardy will run on
the mile-relay team as well.
