Trimming prescription costs
Some common-sense tips for the older traveler
Whether retired or sim-
ply an empty nester, older
men and women ofen love
their increased opportuni-
ties to travel and see the
world. Without kids to cater
to or college tuition to pay,
men and women approach-
ing retirement age, or those
who have already passed
it by, fnd themselves with
more free time to take to the
highways and skyways and
experience other cultures.
While traveling is a great
way to make the most of
ones golden years, travel-
ing as an older adult isnt
the same as it might have
been back when you were a
carefree teenager or twenty-
something backpacking
through Europe. Before set-
ting out to see the world,
older travelers should con-
sider a host of factors.
Documentation
Older travelers tend to
travel abroad more than
they do domestically, so be
sure all documentation, in-
cluding passports for each
traveler, is up-to-date. If
youre traveling for an espe-
cially long period of time,
be sure your passport is val-
id beyond the length of the
trip. Te United States De-
partment of State also notes
travelers must determine
if the country they plan to
visit requires a visa to enter.
In addition to passports
and any visas you might
need, make sure your driv-
ers licenses and auto insur-
ance policies are current
and will remain so through
the trip. Tis is important
for travelers who plan on
renting a car during their
vacation. Dont forget to
bring your drivers license
and proof of auto insurance
(as well as contact infor-
mation for your insurance
company should an acci-
dent occur) on your trip.
Climate & Geography
Its also important to
consider geographical con-
ditions before establish-
ing any travel plans. Older
men and women tend to
have more health issues and
might even be on prescrip-
tions that can make it chal-
lenging to travel to certain
areas. Before committing
to a trip, consult your phy-
sician about the possible
efects a certain climate
might have on you person-
ally. Some people might
be sensitive to altitude and
therefore unable to travel
to high-altitude locations
without putting themselves
at serious risk.
When considering cli-
mate and geography, dont
overlook a regions history
or likelihood of natural di-
sasters. If a given destina-
tion has a history of hur-
ricanes, earthquakes or
tsunamis, then consider
that before making plans.
Its still possible to enjoy
such destinations, but youll
want to travel when such
storms or natural disasters
are not in season.
Luggage & Wardrobe
When traveling, it might
be comforting to overpack
because it can give you the
feeling youre prepared for
any situation that might
arise. But dont pack so
heavily that your luggage
becomes a nuisance to
take from place to place.
If youre traveling to espe-
cially tourist-friendly re-
gions, keep in mind such
locales ofen have all a trav-
eler needs should he or she
have forgotten something
or experiences an emer-
gency.
When packing your
clothes for a trip, keep your
wardrobe as conservative
as possible. Anything too
fashy could draw the at-
tention of con artists or
thieves, as tourists ofen
make for easy marks. But
dont forget to pack some
formal attire as well, as
clothing that is too casual
might make it hard for you
to gain access to certain
tourist destinations or res-
taurants.
Contact Information
While a vacation is an
escape for many people,
you dont want to escape
from the world entirely.
Make sure loved ones back
home have your itinerary
and know where you will
be staying should an emer-
gency occur. If traveling
abroad where you wont
have cell phone service,
choose resorts or hotels
with Internet access and
ensure friends or family
members you will check
in periodically via e-mail.
While staying in touch
might not be reminiscent
of the carefree travels of
your youth, doing so will
help your loved ones rest
easy and will prove invalu-
able should something un-
expected occur.
When traveling, older
men and women should
consider a host of factors
before making plans and
always make safety a prior-
ity.
For the millions of people who rely on
prescription medications every day, the
day when a drug faces generic competi-
tion is one many circle on their calendars.
Tats because generic prescriptions are of-
ten signifcantly less expensive than brand
name medications, and consumers are able
to save substantial amounts of money once
a brand name drug faces generic competi-
tion.
But many men and women currently
taking a brand name prescription might
be quick to point out that, while generic
medications cost less, brand name pre-
scriptions ofen rise in price in the months
before they face generic competition. Such
was the fndings of a 2011 study from
the AARP Public Policy Institute that ex-
amined the 217 brand name drugs most
commonly used by people in Medicare.
Prices of drugs facing generic competi-
tion in 2010 rose by an average of nearly
14 percent in 2009, an increase that was
nearly twice the amount of all other drugs.
So while drugs might be more afordable
once they can be purchased generically,
consumers can expect brand name drug
manufacturers to drastically increase their
prices in the months prior to facing gener-
ic competition, as the manufacturers are,
in a way, looking for one last big revenue
score before their patents expire.
Tats a troublesome reality for anyone
taking a brand name prescription, but es-
pecially so for older men and women living
on fxed incomes. Tough drug manufac-
turers arent likely to change their practic-
es, there are still ways men and women can
reduce prescription medication costs.
* Ask for generics. If there are generic
alternatives to brand name medications
available, always ask a physician for those
medications instead of their more expen-
sive brand name counterparts. Dont just
assume a physician will prescribe gener-
ics. Sometimes doctors prescribe brand
name medications despite the availability
of cheaper and equally efective generic
medications.
* Test drive a drug frst. Just because a
doctor prescribes a drug doesnt mean the
patient will respond to that drug. Many
men and women fnd they are too sensi-
tive to a given medication and stop tak-
ing it afer just a few days. Unfortunately,
they paid for a full prescription and cannot
return the pills they dont plan to use. In-
dividuals who have a history of sensitivity
to medications should test drive a drug
frst, ordering just a few pills or asking a
physician for samples to see how well the
body handles them. Tis wont necessarily
matter for people with fat-dollar copay-
ments (you will essentially have to pay two
copayments if the drug proves efective),
but those without such a plan can save
themselves some money if medication
does not work out.
* Buy in bulk. Men and women who
have been taking a certain medication for
a long time and expect to keep taking it
might want to consider buying the medi-
cine in bulk. Tis can save money; just
make sure pills purchased wont surpass
their expiration date before you take them.
* Inquire about combination medica-
tions. Sometimes medications used to
treat the same condition can be purchased
as combination pills. Tis will only require
one prescription instead of two.
On a similar note, men and women tak-
ing medications for two diferent condi-
tions might also be able to take just one
medication that treats both conditions. For
instance, some blood pressure medications
have proven efective at treating other con-
ditions as well. But dont experiment on
your own. Consult your physician about
your medications and ask if any of them
can be used to efectively serve double-
duty and save you money.
* Look for programs that ofer relief.
Tere are programs that ofer some relief
with regards to paying for prescription
medications. Discuss such plans with a
physician to determine your eligibility,
which might be determined by your age or
current prescriptions.

My next few articles are
designed to correct unbib-
lical thinking that contin-
ues to run rampant. I will
deal with a number of is-
sues that are prevalent and
accepted by many. Most all
of the subjects I will seek to
expose contain a mixture of
truth and error. Tis only
causes the teachings to be
more dangerous since they
each have kernels of truth,
but go astray in critical ar-
eas. Biblical passages are
ofen cited and Christian
terms are used, but dont
be duped by fools gold.
Keep digging until you un-
cover the real thing. Test all
things by the Word of God.
Beloved, do not believe
every spirit, but test the
spirits, whether they are of
God; because many false
prophets have gone out into
the world. (I John 4:1)
I have chosen to frst
respond to a bit of fawed
and popular logic that goes
something like this:
1. Sufering, disease, and
death come from the curse
that God pronounced upon
Adams sin in the garden.
2. Jesus came to reverse
the curse.
3. Terefore, Christians
should not have to live with
things like sufering and
disease.
Upon examining these
points I will have to stand
in agreement with point
#1. All that is evil and sin-
ful, including death itself,
is related to Adams sin. I
must also agree with point
#2. Jesus came to destroy
the works of the devil.
For this purpose the Son
of God was manifested,
that He might destroy the
works of the devil. (I John
3:8) But point number 3
breaks down in a big way.
An honest look at Scripture
and at life itself reveals the
fatal faw of suggesting that
Christians can live above
things like sickness, dis-
ease, and sufering. To be
sure, Jesus cried it is fn-
ished from the cross. Te
purchase of our salvation is
complete, the outcome and
victory is certain. He lef
nothing undone and noth-
ing to chance. But the full
application of the benefts
and blessings of salvation
are anything but complete.
Steven Estes writes, Te
Messiah came so the lion
might one day lie down
with the lamb, meanwhile
the lion crunched the bones
of frst-century Christians
in the Roman Coliseum.
Jesus came to save His
people form their sins yet,
if we claim to be without
sin, we deceive ourselves
and the truth is not in us.
I Corinthians 15:45 calls
Jesus the last Adam who
came to undo the curse
triggered by the original
Adam, but this summer
youll again wrestle weeds
in your garden, and giving
birth to your next child will
be no picnic. Only in Para-
dise will it be said, No lon-
ger will there be any curse.
(Revelation 22:3)
Back to our question.
Has God ordained Chris-
tian sufering? You bet He
has. Just read the Scrip-
ture. Notice, I did not say
that God delights in sufer-
ing. God takes no pleasure
in our sufering. Yet, the
Almighty allows, and even
causes what He hates, to
accomplish what He loves.
Next week I will recount
some of the benefts of suf-
fering. For now, let us sim-
ply take note of a few of the
many Biblical passages that
could be cited. Te Lord said
of the newly converted Paul,
I will show him how many
things he must sufer for My
names sake. (ACTS 9:16)
For to you it has been grant-
ed on behalf of Christ, not
only to believe in Him, but
also to sufer for His sake.
(Philippians 1:29) For
as the suferings of Christ
abound in us, so our conso-
lation also abounds through
Christ. (II Corinthians 1:5)
Strengthening the souls of
the disciples, exhorting them
to continue in the faith, and
saying, we must through
much tribulations enter the
kingdom of God. (ACTS
14:22) Te Spirit Himself
bears witness with our spirit
that we are the children of
God, and if children, then
heirs, heirs of God and joint
heirs with Christ, if indeed
we sufer with Him, that
we may also be glorifed to-
gether. (Romans 8:16-17)
In other words, we dont get
into heaven without suf-
fering. His sufering does
not eliminate our sufering;
rather, His sufering guaran-
tees our sufering. Christian,
never forget that you follow
one who died on a cross.
And remember, A disciple is
not above his Master. (Mat-
thew 10:24) Embrace the
privilege of sufering for the
sake of the One who suf-
fered for you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Whats really going on at our
southern border? Are hotheaded
ofce-seekers over-reacting and
sending in troops that wont do
anything save waste money, or are
our state leaders doing the right
thing?
Some facts fgures presented
by State Reps. Geannie Morrison
and Lois Kolkhorst during a meet-
ing of State Senate District 18 Re-
publicans Saturday in Port Lavaca
paint a much better picture than
weve been getting from the main-
stream news media.
Part of the problem in control-
ling the border is that the federal
Border Patrol generally works sev-
eral miles inland meaning local
law enforcement deals with most
illegal crossings.
Tey have the numbers to
show were having an impact, said
Morrison, who toured the border
zone recently. Talk to the local
law enforcement, they really ap-
preciate having the extra help.
Morrison spoke of taking a tour
of DPS and National Guard watch
positions and how the shuman
smugglers have begun adapting to
what were doing.
Tey have people posted in the
river, people who are supposed
to look like they are fshing, but
they have radios, she said. When
a plane or boat passes by, they ra-
dio in and try to fnd a pattern. Its
very sophisticated.
She also said that during her
tour, the DPS ofcer in her heli-
copter had pointed out the Pun-
ishment House on the other side
of the border a windowless
house visible from the Texas side
where those who cross the Cartels
are taken to be tortured or mur-
dered.
Kolkhorst is planning a tour of
her own, and as chair of the state
House Public Health Committee
she said shes keenly interested in
getting the facts on what diseases
are entering our state with the il-
legals.
We talk about the detained un-
accompanied minors, but those
are getting at least health screen-
ings. Tere are family units that
are being discharged (released)
with no screenings at all, she
said. So far, weve seen scabies,
lice, H1N1 fu, pneumonia and
four cases of tuberculosis. One
man came into this country with
a strain of TB that had never been
seen before.
About that unaccompanied
minors thing: in spite of what the
liberal news media portrays, the
recent surge isnt a bunch of fresh-
faced 8-year-olds eager to become
Americans.
A large and vast number of
those unaccompanied minors
are 17 years old, Kolkhorst said.
Many of those are already gang
members, or worse.
Smuggling children for pur-
poses of prostitution is now more
lucrative for the cartels than drug
smuggling, Kolkhorst said. Te
liberals like to talk about humane
treatment, lets talk about hu-
mane.
Kolkhorst backed Morrisons
contention that the additional
funding to keep a Department of
Public Safety presence on the bor-
der backed by the National Guard
is, indeed, having an impact.
Since June 23, weve seen a 61
percent decrease in crossings, she
said. Tat is, we are deterring
crossings by being aggressive.
Some have been critical of
the notion of putting unarmed
Guardsmen on the border, but it
turns out they have other skills
that make them valuable.
Te National Guard is being
used to detect and report cross-
ings, then the DPS interdicts
them, Kolkhorst said. (DPS Di-
rector Steve) McCraw said the at-
titude is, we dont give up an inch
of Texas.
In spite of the successes, howev-
er, there are a lot getting past our
defenses. Only about 27 percent of
illegal aliens are apprehended.
Te number were apprehend-
ing at the border out-numbers the
number of babies being born to
Texas citizens, Kolkhorst said.
And those numbers are going
to have a huge fnancial impact on
the state. Kolkhorst spoke of a chat
shed had with the superintendent
of the Lamar CISD in Rosenberg,
where the district has had to hire
more than 300 new teachers to
handle 1,200 new students this
year many of whom do not
speak English.
Tere are estimates it will cost
$40 billion a year on education
alone, she said. It costs three
times as much to educate a child
who cannot speak the language.
More ominous is the fact that
unaccompanied minors arent
the biggest worry.
Seventy-five percent are
what we call Other Than Mexi-
cans, Kolkhorst said. A lot of
them are Central Americans,
but you talk to local law en-
forcement, we do have what
they call some real problems
(suspected Islamists).
Kolkhorst added that legislators
will likely ask Texas voters to sup-
port more spending on border se-
curity in the 2015 session.
Our federal government wont
do its job, she said. Te deal is,
the taxpayers of Texas are going to
have to create our own force.
Dear Editor:
My name is Donald Leifeste. I was born
and educated in Gonzales County, was draf-
ed into the U. S. Army, in Gonzales and am
the great-great grandson of Isham and Eliza-
beth Hodges Smith who arrived here in the
1830s along with Elizabeths father, James,
and others. I graduated from Gonzales High
School. I knew that, as most of my classmates
did, that I would have to leave here to pursue
gainful employment. My mom taught school
in Gonzales County for many years and my
dad was a farmer, carpenter and painter. I re-
turned here as a property owner and resident
from 19921997.
My wife was appointed to pastor the Fla-
tonia UMC so we moved to Flatonia in 1997.
We returned to Gonzales in 2010 and pur-
chased a home on Park Place for the second
time. I say all of this to verify that Im not a
johnny-come-lately, but have long and deep
roots and am concerned for Gonzales.
Afer returning here in 2010, my wife, Jo
Ann and I visited the J. B. Wells house lef
by J. B. Wells, Jr., to the Daughters of the Re-
public of TX and the Chapter here maintains
this house. Trough the eforts of my wife, I
learned that I am related to J. B.Wells, Jr., and
helped in some fundraising to maintain the
house, and through this became interested in
his benevolent land donation to the City, to
the used as a public park.
His deed to the City and the acceptance by
the City clearly outlives his wishes and the
agreement by City ofcials. Tis occurred
in 1999. Te City promptly began to devel-
op the 146 acres, currently called J. B. Wells
Park, which he called Santa Annas Mound
and Deer Park, (Paragraph Ninth (2), Will of
J. B. Wells, Jr., 5 August 1961), in a way clearly
diferent from his wishes and the agreement
by City ofcials. Tese documents are avail-
able at City Hall.
But that can be considered history and for-
gotten or it can be considered in the current
state of afairs in Gonzales. Te deed for the
146 acres states that if the City doesnt want
to, or cant follow this agreement, the land
should be sold and the revenues given to
his other passion Te Presbyterian Churchs,
Austin Presbyterian Seminary.
Today, the park looks nothing like what
Mr. Wells envisioned it Te City has spent at
least $8,000,000 of tax dollars with no knowl-
edge of revenues received, but no wildlife
area for JBWs beloved white tail deer that he
asked for in his Will, no nature trails, no play-
grounds, no picnic area, no athletic felds.
Now many City taxpayers of Gonzales
are fnally asking, What did we get for this
$8,000,000? And some are asking, What
have we lost in the way of core city services,
like good roads, ADA Compliant sidewalks,
public parks that are safe for our children to
play in, and proper care for our endangered
historical markers, without which care we
could lose them, never to regain them, and
what would that make us look like to our an-
cestors, those living now and in the future?
Te City Manager and some council mem-
bers want to spend more money building
more buildings for the convenience of folks
who bring their own bedrooms and kitchens.
I think many of us oppose this.
We need an alternative that may somewhat
satisfy both sides. I suggest:
Te city should legally give up what is
now called J. B. Wells Park because it cant
meet the fnancial commitment made in the
1999 deed commitment, even with denying
its taxpayers core services. It would be sold
and the proceeds given to the Austin Presby-
terian Seminary as specifed in the deed. And
TPWD (Texas Parks & Wildlife Department)
would no longer be a Player.
Te City and County by Memorandum
of Understanding, would purchase the land
at a price representative of fair market value
as specifed in Mr. Wells deed. It could then
become the Gonzales County/City Activ-
ity Complex, a joint, quasi-government en-
tity could be formed to maintain-operate
the facility for the beneft of ALL of the city
and county residents. We could see county
livestock shows, rodeos, special cattle sales,
nonproft activities and perhaps many other
events.
If the citizens of the City and County want
to spend more on development, so be it. Tey
wont need to deal with public opposition be-
cause the requirements of the J. B. Wells Will
and Deed will be out of the picture and so
will TPWD.
If any of this makes sense to you, please
discuss among family, friends, colleagues or-
ganizations and, ultimately, City and County
leaders for action.

Gonzales County Com-
missioners implemented
a countywide burn ban
during Mondays regular
meeting, but held of on
purchasing a crime-scene
surveying system.
Commissioners ap-
proved the immediate
implementation of a burn
ban in the county. County
Judge David Bird said Fire
Chief Keith Schmidt had
requested the ban afer
several weeks without rain
have created dry condi-
tions, and local fre depart-
ments have been kept busy
combatting a number of
grass fres in the county in
recent weeks.
Te court again heard
appeals to purchase a set
of specialized crime-scene
mapping equipment and
are looking at how to allo-
cate funds for the system.
Te $15,000 system al-
lows investigators to vi-
sually re-create crime or
crash scenes and even
project images of the rec-
reation to better help ju-
ries understand incidents.
Commissioners have re-
viewed the system sev-
eral times at the urging of
law enforcement and the
countys Justices of the
Peace but have yet to act
on the purchase.
When the county has to
hire a reconstruction team,
theyre going to spend tens
of thousands of dollars
versus having our own
equipment, County Attor-
ney Paul Watkins said.
Department of Pub-
lic Safety Trooper Chris
Germany is among those
trained to use the system
and said hes used a set
borrowed from Guadalupe
County on a number of
cases in Gonzales County.
Te equipment is really
surveying equipment to
reconstruct crime scenes,
he said. Were living in a
world where all our jurors
are CSI jurors, they ex-
pects us to solve a case in
30 minutes or less.
Germany said the equip-
ment also minimizes the
amount of time a roadway
has to be closed at a crash
scene.
Commisioner Del
Whiddon questioned
whether the county could
use funds allocated to the
precinct Justices of the
Peace for technology, and
coiunty auditor Becky
Weston said she would
look into the possibility.
In other action Mon-
day, the Court also again
tabled action on seeking
grant funding for a secu-
rity camera system for the

Youve got a wonderful old building
there, Gauthier said. Basically, the center
section of the Old Jail does not have the ca-
pacity for a full load.
He explained that while the struts hold-
ing the roof in place are fne for holding
downward pressure (weight), they were
not designed for extreme low-pressure sit-
uations such as a tornadic wind.
Tat roof could concievably come down

ity.

Joyce Maxine Beene,
1947-2014
BEENE
Joyce Maxine Beene,
67, passed away Thurs-
day, August 21, 2014.
Maxine was born July 23,
1947 in Smiley to William
Talbert Yates and Dollie
Mae Glasco Yates. Max-
ine grew up in Smiley;
she played house with her
younger twin sisters Dar-
line and Charlene, made
mud pies for them and al-
ways looked after her little
sisters even taking them to
Schroeder Hall to attend
the Moods dances when
they were all a little older.
Maxine attended school in
Smiley and had worked at
Velmas Restaurant wait-
ing tables. She met Roger
Dale Beene at a dance in
Herman Sons Hall and
they dated four months
before they married on
July 2, 1973 in Seguin.
Maxine was a woman with
a huge heart; she always
put the needs of others
before her own. It was as
if she could feel the pain
of others and she took
it upon herself to make
things better. She adored
her children and grand-
children, indeed they were
her world and she was
their rock. Maxine was
a wonderful homemaker,
she kept an orderly home,
enjoyed cooking and she
was celebrated for her en-
chiladas and chicken fried
steak. Maxine lived her
life simply for the ben-
efit of others. That is what
gave her joy, purpose and
a sense of accomplish-
ment.
Joyce Maxine Beene is
survived by her husband,
Roger Dale Beene, Sr.,
daughter, Trincia Beene,
sons, Michael Smith, Sr.,
Roger Dale Beene, Jr.,
Judge Roy Beene, sisters,
Audrey Yosko, Barbara
Cox, Darline Pelletier and
Charlene Pitcock, brother,
Delvis Yates, grandchil-
dren, Jcelyn Beene, Clegg
Talbert Beene, Michael
Smith, Jr., Allen Beene,
Coy Hill, Joe Dale Beene
and numerous nieces and
nephews. She was pre-
ceded in death by her par-
ents, daughter, Tyre Dale
Beene, sister, Inez Snider
and a brother, Helmuth
Yates.
A graveside service was
held at 10 a.m. Tuesday,
August 26, 2014 in Gon-
zales Memorial Park with
Rev. Todd Craven officiat-
ing. The family received
friends at Seydler-Hill Fu-
neral Home from 9 a.m. to

ing. Services were under
the care and direction
of Seydler-Hill Funeral
Home.

Honesty Integrity
Fairness
We had just a little short
shower of rain a bit ago. It was
enough to wash of the vehicles
and cool things of. Sure made
the birds happy. We had one
clap of thunder which woke
Skooter up from his nap.
Tey are talking about two
Lows meeting and staying on
top of us and being a trigger.
Tat is just fne with me. What-
ever it takes to make it rain, a
little Norther, a little Gulf dis-
turbance, shoot a pistol up in
the air...
I went to that Belmont
Community Club meeting to-
day and Kathy Collins is over
there shufing recipes around
chomping at the bit trying to
get this cookbook organized.
She needs some more main
dish recipes. Others are fne
too, but that is the category
she is short on. Our deadline
is Sept. 1st and we are still try-
ing to meet that as much as
we can because we want this
recipe book out by the frst
week in November so it can be
bought for Christmas presents.
So email to ckathelean@ymail.
com. Call her at 830-556-0821.
You will be cutting it close but
snail mail it to Kathy Collins,
475 Collins Lane, Kingsbury,
78638.
Te Belmont Community
Club is taking on the project
of collecting gently used coats
and blankets to give to GCAM
and perhaps the school nurses
to give to those that they see are
in need of them. You can bring
them by the Belmont Com-
munity Center on Tuesday or
Tursday mornings between
8 and 9:30 AM. Perhaps when
we get our frst Norther and we
reach for our frst jacket we will
come across those items that
dont ft or we dont want any
more.
Te Annual fundraiser for
the Belmont Volunteer Fire
Department will be held on
September 22nd, with serving
starting at 5PM. Te location
has been moved to the Bel-
mont Social Club due to the
fact the Oliver Pecan Com-
pany was burned worse than
it was thought to have been
inside and it will not be ready
by the time of the BBQ. Our
fremen will still be doing all
the cooking as normal. Tere
are rafe tickets on sale now
for the four wheeler and the
rifes by any freman. Items
are needed for the auction.
Contact Mia Schauer at 830-
437-5266.
Te Monthalia United
Methodist Church is having
a pot luck dinner afer church
on the ffh Sunday. Te meat
is being furnished and the
members are supposed to
bring the rest of the meal. Te
Moody Institute people are
coming on the ffh Sunday to
present their mission.
A Tanksgiving or Pot-
luck supper hosted by both
the Church and the Belmont
Community Club was de-
cided to be held on Novem-
ber 8th at 6PM. Tere will be
no charge and everyone is to
bring a dish that will serve at
least 8 people.

the Ukraine and over in Israel
and now Iraq
Now let me tell you all folks.
I cannot take much more of
this with all of my beloved
friends and relatives pass-
ing away. I know I am being
selfsh when I say this. Judy
Zella and I worked together
for many a year at that bank-
ing institution that was frst
located across from Kotzebue
Drug Store and it had just
been named First National
Bank. Ten we made the great
big decision to go from post-
ing machines to that com-
puter up in Austin. Ten afer
we all got over that hurdle
we moved down the street to
where the Wells Fargo bank
is now. You learn a lot about
each other when you work
in a close knit bunch of peo-
ple like we did. I truly loved
working with Judy. We had to
be a versatile bunch. We never
knew whether we were going
to be answering the switch
board, be counting money in
the back, or being a teller. And
to her family I know they will
really miss her.
And then Mrs. Bobbie Pa-
gel had to slip away too.
Mrs. Mabel Richter, I hope
that you are out of the hospi-
tal. I have a hard time keeping
up with you. I thought that you
were supposed to slow down
a little when you reached this
point in your life. However, I
think that you have speeded up.
Well, no matter, wherever you
are, I hope that you feel better. It
is not wise to let Ben loose in the
town by himself.
We thank those who gave
donations to the school sup-
plies. We got enough in mon-
etary donations this year to go
get a gif certifcate from Wal
Mart to give to school nurse/
counselor to then take it and
buy emergency supplies like
underwear, a shirt, a pair of
shoes, etc. or maybe some
other item that a child really
needs at that moment.
I think that Skooter and But-
ter Bean had better watch it. If
they dont quit packing Wills
stuf of he might wring both of
their necks. I just found Skooter
with one of those high priced in-
sulated tiny yellow screw drivers.
Ten they had gotten into his
headphones because he had not
put them up. But best of all was
that Butter Bean put his head
inside his size twelve tennis shoe
and Skooter picked up the out-
side and away they went. Where
is my camera when I need it?
Have a good week, watch
out for school kids, and God
Bless.

Gonzales V.F.W.
Annual Labor Day
On August 18th members of
the Saturn Friendship Club met
at the School House in Cistern
for an afernoon meeting with
friends. Hostesses Sandy Parr
and Eva Boscamp welcomed
everyone as they arrived. Te
theme for the meeting was En-
joying Time with Friends. Te
meeting table was covered with
a bright yellow tablecloth and a
basket of silk daisies. Tere were
decks of cards, sets of dominoes,
items used for playing Scrabble,
Chicken Foot, Bunco, and
Mexican Train. Also a menu
from a favorite restaurant, a
telephone, a cell phone, books,
seasonal greeting cards, and
birthday cards. Tere were small
books of Daily Devotionals and
most importantly a copy of Te
Bible.
At one oclock the president,
Sue Kalinec, welcomed every-
one and asked Nancy Littlefeld
to give the Blessing. Te host-
esses invited the ladies to help
themselves to Sloppy Joes, cold
slaw, chips, and drinks of choice.
Desserts for the meal were Ba-
nana Pudding Cake and Butter
Cookies. As the meal was en-
joyed conversation turned to the
very warm weather, lack of rain
and interesting summertime ac-
tivities.
When everyone had fnished
eating, the meeting was called to
order by the president. All stood
facing the Flag of the United
States and Te Texas Flag and
stated their Pledge of Allegiance
to each fag. Te club prayer was
recited in unison and the club
motto, To make the best bet-
ter! was stated.
Devotional Leader, Nancy
Littlefeld, who recently re-
turned from a 6000 mile road
trip with her husband through
several northwestern states, ex-
plained Gods Plan in regard
to mankind and nature. Nancy
told of seeing scenery of awe-
some mountains, magnifcent
rock formations, huge lakes
and beautiful forests. Tey also
saw many places where pine
and spruce trees were dying. A
Ranger explained that natural
fres, started by lightning, are
actually natures way of renewing
the forest.
At Cedar Breaks National
Park in southern Utah, they
heard facts about the spruce
beetle and the pine beetle that
made them feel better about na-
tures way of renewing the forest.
Te way that these beetles cause
the death of the trees and bring
about new growth benefts more
of nature than just the trees. Tis
reminded Nancy of one of her
favorite Bible verses from the
29th chapter of Jeremiah: For
surely, I know the plans I have
for you, says the Lord, plans for
your welfare and not for harm,
to give you a future with hope
(v.11). God does have a plan
for us as He does for nature and
even when we dont understand
it, the plan is there. We need to
have faith and trust that God
knows where we are going and
how He will assure our welfare.
Her closing prayer was, Gra-
cious God, You have plans for
us, plans for our welfare and not
our harm. Help us to trust in You
always and be aware of that mar-
velous way You work in our lives.
We ask for strength for those
who are struggling now and
peace for those who are grieving
or living in pain or fear. Protect
us as we live out Your plan for
our lives. In the name of Jesus,
we pray, Amen.
Little ladies, Katelyn and
Kara Crolye, granddaughters of
Libby Hopkins, were welcomed
guests. August Birthday ladies
Vivian Benton, Sandy Parr,
Betty Britsch, Sharon Fried-
rich, Nancy Littlefeld, Jo Brun-
ner and retired member Virgie
Brown were honored in song
and received gifs from their
Secret Pals.
Roll call could be answered
in one of two ways, by giving
the name of their frst child-
hood friend and a brief state-
ment about them. Or by telling
what qualities are looked for in
a friend. It was amazing how
many friends from childhood
had remained friends through
the years. Te qualities named
in choosing a friend were many
and varied. All good.
Te minutes and fnancial
report were given and accept-
ed. Te club welcomed Carol
Campsey of Harwood as a new
member. Jo Brunner encour-
aged everyone to attend the
Cistern Catholic Church Picnic
on August 24 at 11 a.m. Te
Cistern Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment jointly benefts from the
picnic attendance.
Tere was no old business.
New business items were intro-
duced, discussed and tabled to
be voted on at the next meet-
ing. Te business meeting was
adjourned.
Sandy Parr presented a de-
lightful program on Friend-
ship. She began by calling
attention to the items on the
meeting table depicting ways
friends share time together. She
mentioned how many friend-
ships begun in childhood had
continued through the years.
Individuals have certain quali-
ties they look for in forming
new friendships. Tose quali-
ties are usually responsible for
the friendships to continue.
Te name of our group is the
Saturn Friendship Club. Friend-
ship is the connection between
two human beings. It is also a
connection between earth and
Heaven. Tere are so many
kinds of friends including Ani-
mal Friends, Internet Friends,
Church Friends, Social Friends
and Out to Lunch friends.
She gave the titles of songs
about friends, TV shows about
friends, jokes about friends, and
famous quotes about friends.
Her favorite was, Dont walk
in front of me, I may not fol-
low. Dont walk behind me, I
may not lead. Just walk beside
me and be my friend. By Albert
Camus.
Te Texas legislature adopted
Friendship as the state motto
in 1930. Te word Texas is from
a Caddo Indian word mean-
ing friends or allies. Tere is a
Friendship Day. It was declared
by the U.S. congress in 1935. It
is celebrated every year on the
frst Sunday in August.
As we think about our
friends and how meaningful
their friendship is to us, let us
remember that the most im-
portant of all friendships is that
divine friendship that gives un-
conditional love, support and
understanding. Tat friendship
comes with our relationship
with God.
In closing Sandy invited each
one present to take a small lunch
sack that hopefully will remind
members of packing lunches
and getting new school supplies
for the start of a new school year.
Te September 15th meeting
will be at 1 p.m. at the Cistern
School House, with Jo Brunner
and Barbara Vincent as host-
esses.

COLUMBUS Te Gonzales Apaches
rallied from 2-1 defcit to a 3-2 win over
the Columbus Cardinals Friday night in
the fnal scrimmage for the Orange and
Black.
Gonzales continues to make progress
as they follow the path placed in front of
them by the coaching staf.
We made a step in the positive direc-
tion, Apaches head coach Kodi Crane said.
From day one, we asked our kids to have
faith. We defne faith as something that
you believe in that you cannot see, smell or
touch. We are talking to them about what
we want to do on ofense and defense. And
they cannot see it yet.
Crane talked about the Apaches stick-
ing with the process of becoming a football
team.
I can tell you we are a better football
team now than what we were at 7 this eve-
ning, he said.
Te Cardinals took the early advantage
in the controlled scrimmage, throwing
a 60-70-yard touchdown pass. On their
second drive, Gonzales stopped them on
fourth down.
Gonzales came out and scored on their
frst drive, getting a 6-yard run by Tyler
Wells. Te efort was ignited by a long pass
from quarterback Tyler Hendershot to re-
ceiver Blake Cox. GHS failed to score on
the second drive.
Te Cardinals then got two drives on of-
fense and both ended in a good way for the
Apaches fumbles forced and recovered
by the Tribe defense.
Columbus got a fumble on the Apaches
next ofensive drive and Gonzales returned
the favor on the ensuing Cardinal posses-
sion.
Columbus broke the deadlock when
they fumbled yet again on ofense but were
lucky enough to recover their fumble and
run for a touchdown.
In the live scrimmage of two quarters
with a running clock, Gonzales got the
last laugh as running back Alyas Ramirez
scored on the ground and later hauled in a
touchdown pass from Brant Philippus.
Gonzales worked on running a hurry-
up style ofense and Columbus got a little
worn out trying to slow it.
When Columbus started getting tired,
we started pounding the rock on them,
Crane said. We distributed the ball a lot
because we want to force defenses to have
to defend the entire feld.
Gonzales did well on swarming players
to the football on defense.
Our kids got to the football and put
their nose on it. Tat is what got us going,
Crane said.
Gonzales plays its frst regular-season
game at former district buddy Giddings at
7:30 p.m. tomorrow.
We need to work on being consistent,
Crane said. We also have to make sure we
execute well.

Te Gonzales Apaches
will kick of the 2014 regu-
lar season with a visit to
former district opponent
Giddings at 7:30 p.m. to-
morrow.
Giddings is a really good
football team, GHS head
coach Kodi Crane said.
Te Bufaloes run a
spread ofense, similar
and not-so-similar to the
Apaches scheme.
Giddings has a very solid
quarterback in Kyle Jones,
the son of head coach Chris
Jones.
Kyle Jones completed 60-
of-148 throws for 867 yards
and seven touchdowns. On
the ground, he ran for 193
yards and one score.
Kyle is extremely intel-
ligent and delivers the ball
well, Crane said. His best
quality is his directing of
the ofense. He understands
it and delivers the ball well.
Kyle will run it some but
does not run it a ton.
He throws it very well.
Kyle Jones will throw
some deep passes although
it may not be the bread
and butter of the Giddings
passing attack.
We will have to defend
the vertical passing game
well, Crane said. Tey
will run play action and
quick passes that will put
us in a bind
if we are not
paying at-
tention.
Runni ng
back Ray-
lon Hickey,
missed half
the year be-
cause of in-
jury, will re-
turn to lead
the Giddings ground game.
In his limited appear-
ances, he ran for 269 yards
and had 201 yards receiv-
ing with three touchdowns.
We are expecting Ray-
lon to be back there to
carry the football for Gid-
dings, Crane said.
Giddings has variety in
their running plays.
Tey run the inside
lead, the inside zone and
will run Raylon on the
outside zone and speed op-
tion, Crane said.
In the Apaches scrim-
mages against Canyon Lake
and Columbus, the defense
defended in a box against
the Slot-T of Canyon Lake
and the Triple I of the Car-
dinals.
Tomorrows game will
be a little diferent as the
Apaches must defend the
whole feld with Giddings
wide-open ofense.
Now, we are going to
have to defend the space,
Crane said. Our defense
has played good up to this
point but it
is a diferent
ball game
de f e ndi ng
people in
space.
Te de-
fense has
some prac-
tice match-
ing up
against a
spread ofense during the
spring and pre-season
workouts when it went up
against its own ofense.
We have had our de-
fense in seven-versus-sev-
en because we knew having
to defend another spread
attack in Giddings, Crane
said.
Giddings has size on
both of their lines and this
is an area of concern for
Gonzales.
Te Bufaloes run the
Split on their defense.
Crane is familiar with
the Split having learned the
concepts at the beginning
of his coaching career.
Anchoring their big line
will be end Shawn Gold-
stein (55 tackles, fve sacks).
Tey do a good job with
playing sound technique
and controlling what they
need to control.

I look forward to learning
everything I can, exploring
and having a lot of fun.
I am excited to go to
New York for the parade,
Fougerat said. I was in
New York last year but for
something diferent.
Te two cheerleaders
tried out to be an All-
American at their camp
this summer at the Univer-
sity of Texas at Austin.
If you are selected as an
All-American, you have
the choice of a couple of
places, Fougerat said. We
decided to do it this year
because we are seniors.
Sexton and Fougerat
were judged on a dance
performance and a cheer
performance.
Te competition was re-
ally good and I was a little
scared that I might mess
up a little, Sexton said. I
smiled and kept my com-
posure the entire time and
hoped for the best.
On their schedule in
New York is cheer practice
and perform at the parade.
Te girls will also have be
able to do things like sight-
seeing and shopping.
Sexton said she looks
forward to making new
friends and expanding her
social network.
I want to meet and greet
new people. I want to see
how a parade in New York
is diferent than one in Tex-
as, she said.
Sexton has only taken
part in the annual Come &
Take It parade in Gonzales.

GHS cheerleaders to perform in
Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade
spending some of 2013 dealing with injury.
Tose guys play downhill fast. Tey are physical,
Crane said. We feel their secondary is good but we
hope we can get our passing game going with short to
intermediate route. Of course, we will take our vertical
shots like we have done in scrimmages.
Gonzales will need solid play from their inexperi-
enced ofensive line to keep Giddings line from shutting
slowing the ofense.
For many of the players on our line, it will be their
frst varsity experience, Crane said. Being in that set-
ting and play against a good and experienced defensive
front, we are going to have to play well.
Giddings secondary leader is Jason James, who had
65 tackles and started every game.
Crane said while the players are familiar with Gid-
dings football, the coaching staf is not too familiar ex-
cept Crane knows Giddings coach Chris Jones, having
coached with him before.
In scrimmages, there was no live special-team situa-
tions and this game will be the frst live special-teams
action for the Apaches.
In 2013, Giddings has blocked point-afer kicks and
has punts downed inside the 20 three times including
twice inside the 10.
Winning special teams will be important, Crane
said.
Te Bufaloes did not have the greatest year in 2013,
going 3-6 and holding a 1-4 record in the district.
Te game between the Apaches and Bufaloes was a
defensive struggle, with Gonzales holding on to a 12-7
score.

Action from GHS scrimmages
When it comes down
to it, football ofen boils
down to which team makes
mistakes and which team
doesnt.
Nixon-Smiley head
coach Carlton McKinney
wants his Mustangs to be
wearing their thinking caps
Friday.
Its all about execution,
McKinney said as his club
prepared to take on Wood-
sboro. If we play with en-
ergy and execution, weve
got a chance. We cannot
make mental mistakes and
give up the big plays.
Woodsboros Eagles were
8-2 a year ago, and McKin-
ney said the Mustangs will
have to be on their toes.
Tey had a lot of suc-
cess last year, they made
the playofs, he said. Tey
have a big-play potential
with a lot of speed.
Te Mustangs return a
solid core of last seasons
playof squad as well, but
will be looking to develop
an efective line early.
We just need the defen-
sive front to hold on, he
said.
Te Nixon-Smiley con-
test against Woodsboro is
one of several to open the
season Friday. Other games
include Shiner at Indus-
trial, Luling hosting Schul-
enburg, Yoakum going to
Marion, Shiner St. Paul
hanging out at home with
Yorktown, Flatonia wel-
coming Tidehaven, Snook
spending part of the night
in Hallettsville against Sa-
cred Heart and Hallettsville
making the trek to West
Columbia.
Shiner at Industrial
Te Shiner Comanches
open their season against
Industrial. Te Cobras are
normally a pretty stern test,
but with some of the other
names on the Comanches
schedules this year, Indus-
trial could easily be over-
looked.
Shienr head coach Steve
Cernys No.1 concern is
depth. His club starts the
season with just 21 players.
Were going to have to
have a lot of guys going
both ways, he said.
Schulenburg at Luling
Te Luling Eagles kick-
of 2014 with a home game
against the Schulenburg
Shorthorns.
Tey are a good oppo-
nent, Luling head coach
Colby Hensley said. Tey
have a new coaching staf
who work well with their
players and have brought
in new ideas and wrinkles
to their system.
Te Horns run a two-
back spread ofense and
like the 4-3 aligmnent on
the defensive side.
Teir main ofensive
weapon is running back
Jaevon Lara who ran for
600 yards and caught pass-
es for 400 yards in 2013.
He will be backed up by
Damien Houston (97-699,
eight touchdowns).
Yoakum at Marion
Yoakum will travel to
Marion to take on a Bull-
dogs team that was 9-3 in
2013 and won the district
with 6-0 record, getting to
the second round.
Te Dogs are drooling to
get on the feld.
We are excited to be get-
ting the opportunity to get
on the feld with someone
else, Yoakum coach Brent
Kornegay said.
Marion has a spread of-
fense that absolutely loves
the zone read, run by quar-
terback Hayden Holmes.
I have been impressed
with what I have seen from
Hayden, Kornegay said.
Te key for our defense
is to play assignments well.
If you start guessing on
the reads, you will get in a
bind.
Marion runs the 4-3 on
defense and has a pair of
standouts at linebacker
with Ty Bateman and Blake
Jackson. Top defensive
back is Jose Sanchez.
Our ofensive line has
done well in getting more
and more physical, and we
need to continue that trend
against Marion, Kornegay
said.
Tidehaven at Flatonia
Its only the frst week
of school but if you are a
varsity Flatonia football
player, you already have a
big test this week.
Te Bulldogs host Tide-
haven at 7:30 p.m. at Bull-
dog Stadium.
Tis will be a formi-
dable test for us, Flatonia
coach Chris Freytag said.
Tey made the playofs
and return pretty much ev-
erybody. Tey are experi-
ence while we have lots of
youth.
Tidehavens main weap-
on on ofensive is quarter-
back Brandon Litzau who
passed for 1,239 yards and
six touchdowns.
Brandon is strong, ex-
plosive, just a super athlete.
If you can stop him, you
stop their ofense, Freytag
said.
Flatonia has a strong of-
fensive line which will be
key for their ofensive game
plan.
We need to be able to
control the line of scrim-
mage, he said.
Key Tidehaven defensive
players are lineman Kyle
Moerbe and linebacker
Roderick Fisher.
Yorktown at Shiner St.
Paul
Te Cardinals start 2014
by hosting Yorktown to-
morrow at 7:30 at Coman-
che Stadium.
Yorktown struggled
through a 2-8 (0-5) season
a year ago and will are a
young team but should not
be taken lightly.
Yorktown is a good
team and they have looked
good in scrimmages, St.
Paul coach Jake Wachs-
muth said.
Key players will be FB-
DL Caleb Lemke, RB-LB
Johnny Wieschwill, OL-DL
Joe Ragusin and TE-DE
J.D. Parrett.
Wachsmuth said the
Cardinal ofense must be-
come more consistent.
In our scrimmages, we
would have two or three
good plays then we would
have a bad play, he said.
We have to cut out bad
plays. We have to control
the ball and keep York-
towns ofense of the feld.
Yorktown is capable of
making big plays on of-
fense.
We just have to elimi-
nate those big plays, Wa-
chsmuth said.
Snook at Hallettsville
Sacred Heart
Te Indians start the
2014 season with a home
game against the Snook
Bluejays. Snook returns
majority of its players from
its 2013 team that went 3-7
and 2-3 so Sacred Heart
fans should expect them to
be better.
Te Bluejay ofense is led
by quarterback Deon Ham-
ilton who is a threat on the
ground and through the air
with 755 yards passing, 733
yards rushing and a total of
20 touchdowns last year.
Receiver Darrion Swain
had 315 yards receiving
and will be a target for
Hamiltons passing. Te
Indian defense will need
to eliminate big plays by
Hamilton and look to con-
trol the clock with their
intense power-running
game.
Hallettsville at West
Columbia
Te Brahmas kick of
2014 away from home as
they travel to West Colum-
bia. Te Roughnecks went
4-7 (1-3) but were area-
round fnalists.
West Columbia has a
couple of serious ofensive
threats in quarterback Ja-
rius Kesee (76-172, 1,057
yards and nine touch-
downs) and running back
Dakarius Bell (274-1,852
and 24 touchdowns. Te
defense will be led by First-
Team All-District end
Dennis Moody who fn-
ished 2013 with 68 tackles.
Sports editor Mark Lube
also contributed to this
story.
Afer losing the frst set
of their Tuesday match
against Gonzales, the
Luling Lady Eagles told
frst-year head coach Jor-
dan Pinson a prediction
we will win the match.
Luling believed and
came away with a 3-1 win
(27-29, 25-23, 25-23) at
GHS Special Events Center.
Afer we lost that frst
set in overtime, the kids
said we would win, Pinson
said.
An accolade for Pin-
son was that at this time
last year, he was a coach
at GJH, and now he is the
head coach of Luling, get-
ting a win against his old
school district.
No hard feelings. I loved
every minute I worked for
Gonzales, he said. But it is
a nice win.
Both teams fought long
and hard, Lady Apache
coach Sarah Kennedy said.
I give credit to Luling.
Tey have improved.
Our girls fought hard,
just not 100 percent of the
time.
Gonzales did well on of-
fense.
We had a well-rounded
hitting game. Bailey (Con-
nell), Alex (Finch) and
Molly (Barnick) had about
10 kills each, Kennedy
said. Tis match basically
came down to who fought
the whole time.
Luling opened the frst
set with a 5-3 lead and
Gonzales fought back for
an 8-7 advantage as Con-
nell got an ace with Barnick
getting a couple of blocks
and a kill.
Te Lady Eagles then
went on an 9-3 run with
the serves of Mckynna Hale
and two kills from Sarah
Townsend.
Gonzales went ahead
20-19 on kills from Finch,
Amanda Dixson and
Gretchen Singleton before
going on a 9-8 run to close
out the frst game,
Claire Patterson served
Luling to a 7-0 lead in the
second game and Gonzales
replied with a 9-2 run. Te
Lady Eagles fred back into
the lead at 17-110 and later
led 20-14.
Later, a Townsend kill
gave Luling the win.
In set No. 3, Luling got
early leads until the Lady
Apaches forced a 11-11
game. Plays from Sheridan
Tate and Connell put Gon-
zales ahead 14-11.
Gonzales did not fall be-
hind until Luling took an
18-17 advantage and then
scored seven of the next 13
points.
In the fourth set, Luling
found themselves down
13-9 but scored six straight
for a 15-13 margin. An
Elizabeth Townsend kill
later saw the Lady Eagles
up 20-17 but Gonzales
continued to kick and
scream. Te Lady Apaches
were down 24-21 but hung
on a little longer with two
straight points and then a
Sarah Townsend play sent
the Lady Eagles of the
court with the win.
Te Lady Comanches
were swept by Giddings on
Tuesday, 25-9, 25-10 and
25-20.

WHS fell to Goliad (25-
4, 25-7) and San Antonio

day.
We played schools
much larger than us,
Waelder head coach Joel
Williams said San Anto-
nio Stevens is a 6A school,
and we also played two 5A
schools.
Silver lining was that
the Lady Cats learned les-
sons about how successful
programs play and if we
play in a similar fashion
then what we endured will
be worth it.
With several of the team
seeing their frst extended
playing time at the varsity
level, Coach Williams not-
ed there were some aspects
of the Lady Cats game he

Te Gonzales Apaches girls and
boys cross country team competed
in their frst action of the season
with the Gonzales Relays Saturday at
Independence Park.
Our girls team is getting deeper
each year and I am proud of the work
ethic, Gonzales coach Cully Doyle said.
Kendall Fougerat has really stepped
up this summer. She has taken her
training to another level. We have
plenty of young talent to go with her as
the incoming freshmen are coming in
as last years District Champions in 8th
grade. Te future is really bright.
Doyle was pleased with the Gonzales
boys, led by Ashton Williams.
Ashton and several others are on a
path to make a statement this season.
Tey fnished last year as the second-
place team in District and are hungry to
fnish on top this year, he said.

Plenty of challenging matchups for area schools in zero week
By DAVE MUNDY
SCHULENBURG
Working on their serve-
receive helped the Lady
Brahmas sweep Gonzales
25-19 and 25-14 Tursday
in the Schulenburg Tour-
nament.
I think we clicked and
our serve-receive was bet-
ter, Hallettsville coach
Megan Klimtchek said.
Our practice has paid
of.
We did not show up
in this match, Gonzales
head coach Sarah Kenne-
dy said. We did not play
as a team. We did some
good things but in the end
it is a team efort.
A 7-1 run in the frst set
helped Hallettsville erect a
15-8 lead. GHS came back
with plays from Gretchen
Singleton, Danielle Flow-
ers and Molly Barnick to
get within 16-15.
A kill and block from
Lady Brahma Kayla Vali-
gura sent Hallettsville on
a 9-4 run to close out the
set.
In the second game,
the Lady Apaches earned
some early advantages
before the service of Hal-
lettsvilles Sarah Smith put
them ahead 18-6.
Te Lady Apaches even-
tually closed down to 22-
12 and Hallettsville closed
out with a 3-2 scoring ad-
vantage.
East Bernard sweeps
Shiner
A youthful Shiner squad
went through a little more
growing pains as they fell
25-10 and 25-13 to East
Bernard on Tursday.
Te Brahmattes took a
7-2 lead early in the open-
ing set, and plays from
Sarah Demny and Megan
Lee helped push East Ber-
nard to an 18-9 advantage
before closing out the
game with a 7-1 run.
In the second game,
Shiner erased the frst
lead of the game by East
Bernard with a kill from
Tabitha Blaschke but the
tie did not last long as the
Brahmattes scored 13 of
the next 15 points.
Te Lady Comanches
battled back with a kill
from Kori Landman, a kill
from Jennifer Hartl and a
block by the two players to
bring Shiner within 14-6.
East Bernard shook of
the shock and went on
an 11-7 run to conclude
the set and the match.
For Shiner, Hartl had two
kills,Tabitha Blaschke had
four blocks and Tamara
Hajeck had eight digs
Shiner improves from
EB game with win over
Gonzales
Te Lady Comanches
quickly rebounded with
a 25-18, 23-25, 25-15 win
over Gonzales shortly afer
the East Bernard match.
We worked better as a
team, Lady Comanches
head coach Desiree Nitsch
said. We are just young
and it will take time for us
to teach them the skills of
the game.
Kennedy liked the efort
put forth by Gonzales.
We got our energy
back. I still have yet to
see a full match with
Mondays (Aug. 18 home
match against Lockhart)
energy, she said.
With two plays from
Kassidy Bishop, the Lady
Comanches led 4-0 early
in the frst set and later
took a 17-7 lead. GHS
fought back with efort
from Barnick, Alex Finch,
Singleton , Bailey Connell
and Amanda Dixson to
come within 20-14.
Te Lady Comanches
then scored fve of the
next nine points.
In the second set, the
Lady Apaches came back
from early defcits to take
a 10-9 lead. Te two teams
fought neck and neck until
the serves of Connell put
GHS ahead 22-18.
Shiner tried to rally
with fve of the next eight
points but fell short.
Te Lady Comanches
opened the third set with
an 8-2 lead and Gonza-
les scored 10 of the next
14 points with some aces
from Danielle Flowers.
Blaschke, Bailey Mach-
acek, Hartl and Bishop put
the Shiner on top 22-14
and they went on to victo-
ry, 25-14. For Shiner, Hartl
and Blaschke had seven

Gonzales tangles with
former district opponent
Te Lady Apaches met
up with former district
opponent Giddings in
their second match on
Friday.
Giddings was victorious
in two sets 25-12 and 25-
18.
Service from Sheridan
Tate put Gonzales ahead
8-7 but the Lady Bufs
scored 12 of the next 13
points to gain a frm hand
on things.
Kirsten Muenchow
helped the Lady Apach-
es pull back a couple of

the set.
Lady Apaches edged
out by Lexington
Gonzales took on Lex-
ington in their third and
fnal match of the day, fall-
ing 25-11 and 25-10.
We needed to do the
little things right, assis-
tant coach Jenna Philips,
stepping in for Kennedy,
said. It is early in the sea-
son and we are still com-
ing together.
Lexington opened the
frst set with a 10-4 advan-
tage and worked up to a
18-9 lead before going on
a 7-2 run for the victory.
In the second set, Lex-
ington had to weather a
GHS lead right at the start
before going ahead and
not looking back, winning
25-10.
Flatonia and Halletts-
ville play for the second
time in less than a week
Te Lady Brahmas and
Lady Bulldogs squared of
for the second time in just
a few days, having played a
non-district match at Fla-
tonia on Aug. 19.
Hallettsville won the
previous match 3-1 and
came away with a 2-0 (25-
18, 25-19) hard-earned
win on Friday.
We were a lot more re-
laxed in the match, Klim-
itchek said. Te best part
was our serve-receive was
great and when that hap-
pens, we play better.
We did not play too
well, Flatonia head coach
Kaylyn Boenisch. Our
serve-receive and defense
was a little of.
Flatonia had an okay
start to the match with an
early ace from Alanis Ri-
bera and a kill from Erin
Miksch.
Hallettsville rallied for a
4-2 lead and held of Fla-
tonia until getting some
momentum with an 11-3
run.
Savannah Flood and
Miksch make a couple of
plays for the Lady Dogs to
pull some points back but
Hallettsville then went on
a 7-4 run for the win.
In the second set, Hal-
lettsville earns the lead
but is unable to start pull-
ing away until an 8-4 run
breaks a 10-10 tie into
an 18-14 advantage with
plays from Sarah Bussel-
man, Kendall Delvige,
Emma Wick and Smith.
From that point, the
Lady Brahmas go on a 7-5

It was German

the following sage
observation: We have art
to save ourselves from the
truth.
If you live in Waukegan,
Illinois, you might be
surprised to learn that
your property tax is 12
times higher than it would
be if you lived in Honolulu.
If you cant remember
the word you want to
use, youre sufering

you probably wont
remember that when it
happens.
A hummingbird weighs

Have you ever made
a bet when youd been
drinking too much, and
later wondered what
youd been thinking? If
so, it might make you feel
better to consider the case
of a pilot named Tomas
Fitzpatrick. In 1956, he was
drinking at a bar in New
York City when a rather
boisterous argument
ensued regarding his
fying ability. To prove
his skills to his drinking
buddies, Fitzpatrick went
to New Jersey, stole a small
plane and landed it on
the street in front of the
Manhattan bar -- all while
allegedly drunk. Te story,
remarkable as it is, doesnt
end there, however. A
couple of years later he
was boasting about the
incident, but his story
was met with disbelief. To
prove himself once again,
he repeated the stunt.
Te name of the state
of Idaho comes from
the Kiowa-Apache word
idaahe, which means
enemy.
Every spring, one of the
worlds great migrations
occurs. At the end of
March, 500,000 cranes
descend upon an 80-mile
stretch of Nebraska land,
representing about 80
percent of all the cranes on
the planet.

Football Preview: Gonzales Apaches
Te 2014 edition of the Gonzales Apaches might have
lost an entire ofensive line and some key players on de-
fense, but will carry over 20 seniors on the team and get a
lot of skilled players back.
Gonzales made the state quarterfinals for just the
third time in school history in 2013 and 12 starters are
back.
I think our team will have the opportunity to be
successful, first-year head coach Kodi Crane said. We
have to develop leadership.
We have to be focused on the process. It is a step-
by-step building block to achieve success.
Primarily a running team on offense the last several
years, the Apaches are going to attempt balance as they
will sling the football a little more this year.
Crane said Gonzales will be a spread team using the
Air Raid system with primarily one-back formations,
with two-back sets every now and then. At some point, a
fullback and a tight end will be incorporated.
Te Tribe graduated their starting ofensive line but
have most of their skilled players returning.
Crane said the objective is to put the football into the
hands of the skills position athletes.
We want to get the ball to our athletes in space and let
them work, he said. Whenever you watch us, the ball
will be thrown around more and the pace of the ofensive
will be faster. We will be a no-huddle ofense and will go
at an extremely rapid pace.

APACHES:
Senior Brant Philippus and junior Tyler Hendershot will
be the Apaches two main options at quarterback.
We will put those two in competition against one an-
other every day, Crane said. Tey are both highly intel-
ligent and that is what we like. Teir understanding of the
ofense is unreal.
Brant has a little more speed and Tyler can throw a real-
ly good ball. No matter who is chosen to play quarterback,
the other will have a receiver role.
Gonzales has a lot of paths at running back position, led
by junior Alyas Ramirez who played quarterback and run-
ning back in 2013. Ramirez rushed for over 2400 yards and
had 31 touchdowns.
Ramirez has a lot of experience and Jaime Tellez has
stepped in, Crane said.
Tyler Wells and Devontae Owens will all factor for
ground yards on the Apache ofensive
Darrance James, Aaron Hunt, Atlantic Johnson, Brando

rek, Zack Akers and Blake Cox will feature as wide receiv-

ers.
Other players listed as receivers and could help out
are Gerson Vasquez, John Bashaw, Grayson Meredith,
Colby Cantu, Travis Schauer and Zachary Hernandez.
Crane said those players could start on either offense
or defense, and then play a supporting role on the op-
posite side by giving teammates a breather.
We have to be able to win the fourth quarter by not
being tired at the start of the fourth, he said.
Finding a new line will be the offensives biggest
challenge for 2014.
We are working to understand who these kids are
and get them in the right position, Crane said.
The offensive linemen pool is comprised of Eduardo
Almaguer, Trent Schauer, Dylan Cantu, Joshua Bus-
tos, Wade Miller, Ernan Hernandez, Dakota Stamport,
Zac Zella, Landon Blackwell, Josh Padilla, Kenneth
Hernandez, Jose Contreras, Edwardo Almaguer, Tevin
Smith, Jonnathan Banda, Rode Paskie, Horacio Govea
and Walter Hood.
On defense, Gonzales will use a 4-2-5 system, and
will have to replace holes at defensive tackle and line-
backer.
Any good football team has to have a good second-
ary. The new concept we are teaching them is different
and very technical, Crane said. We are trying to get
them to react to plays and not have to think.

Kenneth Hernandez Banda, Eduardo Almaguer and
Dylan Cantu will help on the defensive line.
Tellez Ramirez have been switched to inside line-
backer, Travis Schauer has linebacker experience and
Zella will also play one of the linebacker spots.
In the defensive secondary, James, Meredith, Bashaw,
Colby Cantu, Wells, Vasquez, Colby Cantu and Akers
will play as safeties. Apache cornerbacks will be John-
son, Hunt, Cox, Burek, Zachary Herndanez, Juarez,
Blackwell and Owens.
Crane said several players are being looked at for
punter, including Contreras, Philippus, Johnson, Edu-
ardo Almaguer and Eran Hernandez.
Bashaw and Eduardo Almaguer are slated to do the
placekicking for Gonzales.
Crane said Gonzales will gradually bond as a team
through adversity and hard work.
Team chemistry is hard to gauge until its the fourth
quarter, we are down by 10 points and it is time to go,
he said. It will be something I will never be satisfied
with because I feel we can always get better by devel-
oping leadership.
Gonzales will face former district opponents
Giddings, Cuero and Yoakum on the non-district
schedule. They will be mixed in with Navarro and
Bellville.
We have a tough non-district schedule, Crane
said. Every one of those teams can play and not
one patsy on the schedule. We will know where we
are at when we get to district.
The Apaches will see rivals Cuero and Yoakum
in September, earlier than when they would nor-
mally face off.
It is just the new face of football. We would like
to keep playing them, Crane said. Cuero leads
that series by two games and that is something we
want to fix. Yoakum and Cuero is who we need
to be playing. They have good programs and ath-
letes.
Gonzales holds membership in the 15-4ADI,
getting Pleasanton and La Vernia back and adding
Rockport-Fulton, Robstown and Beeville.
We are the smallest school in our district and
that presents a few challenges but we are happy
with the district, Crane said. If we focus on the
process, then come later October or early Novem-
ber, we should be competing for a district cham-
pionship.
Crane pegged La Vernia as the toughest district
opponent, with 17 starters back from a 12-2/4-0
Division II regional finalist team.
He added that 2014 will be the 100th year of
high school football in Gonzales and the coaching
staff feel honored to be helping the team get to
where they want to go.
We talked to the kids about being honor-bound
to the people that came before them in the pro-
gram, Crane said. A 100 football seasons is a lot
of players and games. Every day our kids go out
there and protect our tradition for the people that
have come before them.

Some new faces. A new district. No
worries for the Gonzales Lady Apaches
volleyball team who really complement
each other.
I am really excited with the group of
girls we have this year, Lady Apaches
head coach Sarah Kennedy said. Teir
attitudes and personalities all comple-
ment one another. We are a young team
even though we have a lot of seniors.
Gonzales is young in that a lot of the
players have little or no varsity experi-
ence. Also, the district has been shaken up
a little as Giddings, La Grange and Smith-
ville depart and are replaced by familiar
foe La Vernia, and new faces Wimberley,
Canyon Lake Fischer and Navarro.
I told the girls that if they battle the
way they do in practice, we can hang with
any team, Kennedy said. Overall, it will
be a fun season based on the personali-
ties of the girls and the togetherness they
share.
Tey might have disagreements but
have each others back. Tey are a family.
Gonzales returns six players and three
starters from the 2013 team, and will
carry seven seniors Alex Finch, Bailey
Connell, Brittany Walker, Claudia Frank-
lin, Danielle Flowers, Lucera Luna and
Kirsten Muenchow.
Yasmin Gallegos, Muenchow, Luna and
Margert Gonzales are vying for the libero/
defensive specialist spots.
Lucera and Margert are might be util-
ity players, Kennedy said.
Flowers and Sheridan Tate will be tak-
ing turns as the Lady Apaches setter.
Kennedy mentioned Connell and Finch
as outside hitters for Gonzales.
Claudia will play some outside hitter as
well, she said.
Te middle blocker spot is between
returner Molly Barnick, and newcomers
Amanda Dixson and Alex James.
Covering the right-side hitter will be
returners Walker and Gretchen Singleton.
Our right side is pretty set with Brit-
tany and Gretchen, Kennedy said.
Gonzales will have quite a challenge in
competing for a playof spot in the new
district.

Close-knit Lady Apaches eye success
Teamwork will be the key for playof
hopes with new talent-heavy district
By MARK LUBE
Wimberley was in the fnal four last
year. Tey lost in the state semifnals,
Kennedy said. La Vernia made the third
round and the rest of the teams made the
playofs.
We will be considered the underdogs
but they should not count us short.
Playing together as a team and taking
advantage of their chemistry will be the
key for the Lady Apaches getting over the
hump and making a return to the playofs
for the frst time 2011.
When these girls have fun, they do
well, she said. Staying up and keeping
each other positive will be the key.
Brant, have a
great season!

Kennedy said on-court communication is very sol-
id for the Lady Apaches.
It will be a challenge because we have a new group
combining together. They are picking up on how to
work with each other, she said.
Kennedy said Barnick will be one of the teams main
hitters and James has lots of raw talent that will be de-
veloped after training and repetitions. Finch has lots
of consistency and Connell has improved her strength.
On defense, Yasmin is one of those kids who will
run through a wall to get a ball. She is quiet but hus-
tles, she said. Molly has always been a good block-
er while Gretchen and Brittany have got it down.
Kennedy tagged Connell, Finch and Singleton as
strong servers for the Lady Apaches.
Finch has played the role of quiet leader for the Lady
Apaches along with Flowers, Walker and Connell.
Alex talks when she needs to, and is encouraging
and positive, Kennedy said. Danielle leads by exam-
ple. Brittany and Bailey are vocal leaders.

Football Preview: Nixon-Smiley Mustangs
Mustangs hungry afer playof season
NIXON Te Nixon-Smiley Mustangs ended a
lengthy playof drought last season, and this years edition
wants to make the post-season a regular thing.
Coach Carlton McKinneys club has several veteran
skill players back as well as a nucleus of linemen to build
around. McKinney says improving on last seasons 6-5
fnish will depend on focus and playing smart.
We have a shot at being competitive, McKinney said.
We made the playofs last year, and weve been drilling it
into the kids that we want that to be a usual occurrence.
We want to accomplish better than last year. Our goal is
to get to the point of winning district championships.
Perennially undersized and short on speed, the Mus-
tangs have adapted with a system that trades fnesse for
fancy. Nixon-Smiley brings back three-fourths of its of-
fensive backfeld, and McKinney said that will be his
teams strong suit early on.
Quarterback Nick Pena is back as the lead operator of
Nixon-Smileys ground-based attack. Pena threw only 74
times last season but had 14 touchdown tosses among his
39 completions and 846 passing yards. Tristen Newman
spent a good bit of time in the tailback slot last season,
and fullback Justin Ramos is also back. Trow in slotman
Tom Palacios and speedy Sam Moore at a receiver spot
and you have the makings of a solid ofense.
Tats defnitely our strong suit right now, McKinney
said, adding that reliable Michael Scarborough and Bran-
don Garcia will also see a good bit of time in the back-
feld. If we can keep our mental mistakes down, theyll
keep us on the feld.
Last seasons starting center, Riley Sanford, has moved
to a guard position this season and veteran Coleton
Trammell moves into the snappers job. Beyond that,
however, McKinney said hes still experimenting with
various combinations on the line looking for consistency.
Among those battling for playing time are seniors Phoe-
nix Medina and Anthony Evans, along with junior Cuatro
Kohler and sophomore Carlos Rodriguez.
Looking for playing time will be youngsters like Dante
Medina, Deon Jacobo, Michael Mills, Jesus Abundis, Lor-
dan Lopez, Cody Newman, Lawrence Martinez, Carlos
Rodriguez, Joseph Rodriguez, Samuel Melendez and
Omar Munoz.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Mustangs have
seven returnees and McKinney said he feels Nixon-Smi-
ley is in pretty good shape. I think well be OK on de-
fense, weve got all our linebackers back and we have our
Skill veterans back to keep Nixon-Smiley contender

NIXON Te Lady Mustangs and second-year head
coach Kim Payne realize they might not always have the
talent or the height that some of the teams they play do.
Tey will just have to compensate with good work ethic
and a good attitude.
We know we have to work hard because we dont have
all the talent in the world, Payne said. But we can make
up with defense and other areas that other teams struggle
in.
Seniors on the team are Miranda Carrillo, Aliyah
Moore, Nancy Hernandez, Maria Orta and Megan Guer-
ra.
Payne said N-S is struggling with playing as a team
which will be very important if the Lady Stangs want to
turn a corner in 2014.
Guerra will handle majority of the setting for N-S; out-
side hitters will be Lexi Trammell, Kaela Warzecha, Ty-
hana Mejia and Orta.
Middle blockers are Carrillo and Moore; libero is Ce-
leste Arriaga and Hernadez will play back row.
Payne said Mejia and Trammell are fexible in what po-
sitions they can play at.
Amanda Munoz is also the N-S roster for the season.
N-S had the likes of Shiner St. Paul, Yorktown, Cuero,
Kenedy, Jourdanton, UC Randolph and Luling in non-
district as well as tournament action in Shiner, Schulen-

safeties back, he said. If we can get some guys up front to
take the pressure of the linebackers and keep some pres-
sure on the quarterback, we should be fne.
Ramos, last years leading tackler, is the anchor of the
linbebacker corps. McKinney is also expecting big things
from Scarborough at the OLB spot, where he was involved
in several of last seasons big plays.
Te safeties, Newman and Moore, also inspire conf-
dence.
Tey give us a little speed back there, he said. Te big
thing for our defense is, weve got to apply some pressure
and not give up the big play. Our ofense isnt designed to
make up big plays, but if we can stay competitive we can
win games.
Special teams are always a bugaboo for small schools,
and McKinney said this years Mustangs will put a special
emphasis on the kicking game.
Were going to be putting our best kids out there, he
said. Normally you rest your starters on special teams,
but we need them. Tats the problem, a lot of them are
going both ways, so you have to fnd time to give them a
breather.

It is going to be a very competitive
district, Payne said. Poth has a reputa-

year, Stockdale is good. It is anybodys ball

WAELDER With just one senior and then a majority of
freshmen, the Waelder volleyball team is about as youthful as you
can get.
Tat is going to bring on a season of growing pains and matu-
rity, and it will be even more challenging as Waelder is one of the
toughest 2A districts in the state. Powerhouses Schulenburg, Wei-
mar , Ganado and Shiner are mixed with Flatonia, Louise, Prairie
Lea and Waelder.
Tis is basically a junior high team taking the likes of Schul-
enburg, Weimar and Shiner in one of the toughest districts in the
state, frst-year head coach Joel Williams said. Tis team is going
to take their lumps and learn how to play high school volleyball.
Waelder felded a team in 2013 but the team was discontinued
due to not enough players midway through the season.
Williams said the Lady Wildcats are resilient and courageous
for signing up for a difcult task.
One of the things he wants to see is Waelder learn the concept
of teamwork.
I want us to be able to play as a team, Williams said. We do
that and we can surprise some people. We have some individu-
als on this team with some real talent but they play as individuals
and not as a team. In junior high
volleyball, they did not have to play as a team and this is a new
concept for them.
It is a building process and we know it could take this entire
year to learn how to play and to respond as a team. Playing in a
tough district is the best way to learn.
Monica Bracmontes is Waelders senior and is considered by
Williams to be the most experience player on his roster.
Monica is coming into her own because she probably has not
ever been called to being a leader, he said. It is a role she will have
to grow into but she is doing pretty well.
It can be hard to handle sometimes, Bracmontes said. But
by showing my teammates what to do and helping them, when I
leave, the next person coming up will be able to fll my shoes and
teach them.
Our goal as players is to get continue to get better and work
as a team.
Bracmontes will be Waelders main setter with Ashlynn Noyola
and Kanya Walker playing the position in some cases as well.
Rounding out the rest of the team is Laisha Rangel, Keanna
Porter, Keshaya Moore, Malorie Puente, Kashanna Durst, Nashai
Tompson, Alexis Porter, Yasmin Porter, Daniela Nina, Ladeln
Gonzalez and Kadie Benitz.
In non-district, Waelder has Bastrop Consolidated, Victoria
Cobra Homeschool, Hallettsville Sacred Heart and Weimar. Tey
were in a tournament at Victoria East.
Te Lady Cats also will play an away match against the team
from the Texas Youth Commissions Ron Jackson State Juvenile
Correctional Complex in Brownwood, a facility that helps young
female juvenile ofenders.
Williams said he would like to see Ron Jacksons team come to
Waelder next year and wants to hold a special event such as a meal
and other festivities to demonstrate love and kindness to the Ron
Jackson players.
Waelder learning how to play as a team will help them stay as
competitive as possible, Williams said.

Football Preview: St. Paul Cardinals
Cardinals retool following
uncharacteristic 2-8 year
SHINER You have to experience in or-
der to get experienced.
Last year, the Shiner St. Paul Cardinals
were a young and inexperienced team. Tey
had to experience a 2-8 season in order to
acquire experience to use in 2014.
We had a really young team last year and
we have most of those kids back. We look
like we have aged, Cardinals head coach
Jake Wachsmuth said. We are very excited
about the potential this year.
Like any football squad, St. Paul needs to
stay health as it has less than 40 players on
the roster.
We have good kids; we just have to make
sure they are healthy throughout the sea-
son, he said.
St. Paul ended 2013 on a bright note, win-
ning their last two games.
Wachsmuth said he wants the Cardinals
to keep that mini-streak alive.
We want to start this year like we fn-
ished last year. We want to go out and win
the frst game, he said. If we win and start
of well, that will build our confdence.
Without the frst game being played, the
Cardinals have been improving every day
with literally every single player.
We are further ahead right now than
we have ever been because they remember
things, Wachsmuth said.
He said 2013 was tough because St. Paul
had just two seniors. Tey will have over
double that with fve this year Kurt Chun-
da, Sam Wenske, Kyle Chunda, Kolten Ken-
esek and Connor Pruett
St. Paul will stay with their balanced I-
formation attack.
If we discover that a certain player does
something well, we will put in some wrin-

SHINER New St. Paul volleyball coach
Kayla Nathro is looking to take the Lady
Cardinals into the playofs and back to the
state championship.
Te girls have the potential to make
state and I want to do everything I can to
help them achieve it, she said.
Nathro will carry a total of seven seniors
on the 2014 sqaud although not every one
of them have varsity experience.
St. Pauls seniors are Victoria Kusak, Cas-
sidy Tomas, Destiny Garza, Elise Patek,
Isabella Crawford, Abby Irvin and Morgan
Hull.
Irvin, Kusak and Patek all played on the
varsity team last year.
Two other players that played varsity in
2013 are Jenna Williams and Ashlyn Patek.
Nathro said it will be a little bit of a chal-
lenge since a lot of the Lady Cardinals are
not used to varsity-level competition.
Luckily, they are all hard workers. Tey
have great team chemistry, she said.
Kusak, Williams and Mallory Grabarki-
etvz are Nathros setters. Tomas, Mason,
Ashlyn Patek, Morgan Hull and McKenzie
Kresta will play the outside hitter spots on
the lef side for St. Paul while right-sided
hitters are Kenzie Vargo and Irvin.
Elise Patek and Allie Kutac will be in the
middle while Emily Pokluda will play as li-
bero ,and Garza will join Crawford on the
back row.
Nathro said she wants St. Paul to have the
mental part of the game done well.
Even if they do not execute, I want them
to do the right thing, she said.

kles, Wachsmuth said.
Battling for the quarterback spot will be
Marco Ynclan and Austin Barton. River
Haynes could also help out at the spot.
Austin had a little more experience last
year but both will have reps, Wachsmuth
said. We may end up rotating them because
they both have things they do well.
Better to have two quarterbacks taking
snaps than none.
Running back TJ Bell was the main ball
carrier for St. Paul last year and will be one
of several players who get carries.
We have got seven or eight guys who can
run the ball, he said. Te more guys that
are involved, the better.
If a defense sees a lot of players that can
do things with the ball, it makes things very
hard on them.
Ryan Geiger, Derek Kapavik, Jed Janecek,
Conor Kresta, TreZell Jenkins-Perry, Na-
than Wagner and Wenske all give St. Paul
options at the position.
St. Paul has a diverse ofensive line with a
couple of freshman, a few sophomores and
several underclassmen.
Tis is what we like to have on the of-
fensive line, Wachsmuth said. Last year,
we were bottom heavy with freshman and
sophomores. Tis year, we will be more bal-
anced.
Leading that ofensive line will be Pru-
ett, Knesek, Reagan Beal, Dylan Mills and
Colton Machart (tight end).
Tose guys all played a lot last year, he
said.
Rounding out the ofensive linemen is
Braden Barta, Max Patek, Weston Davis,
Josh Haymes, Kyle Chunda and Spencer
Yang.
Receivers and tight ends will be Eudosio
Garza, Noah Leist, Alex Hull, Andrew Wag-
ner, Jaydon Darilek, Jacob Darilek and Na-
than Pilat.
St. Pauls defense was put in a tough spot
as the ofensive was not always successful at
putting enough points on the board.
St. Pauls defensive line will be flled by
most of the ofensive line players except
Kyle Chunda who is listed to play line-
backer. Bell, Hull, Wenske, Jaydon Darilek,
Kapavik, Wagner, Kresta and Leist will ro-
tate at the linebacker spots.
St. Paul secondary has Ynclan, Barton,
Garza, Jenkins-Perry, Geiger, Wagner, Jan-
ecek, Haynes, Kurt Chunda, Pilat and Jacob
Darilek.
Choices abound at nearly every position
on the feld for St. Paul.
I think one of our strengths is we have
options at every position. We are just going
to let things fall where they may, Wachs-
muth said.
In non-district, St. Paul faces Yorktown,
Bryan St. Joseph, Somerville and Flatonia,
For district, St. Paul will see newcom-
ers Marble Falls Faith Academy, Austin
Texas School for the Deaf and Temple Cen-
tral Texas Christian will seeing old friends
Schertz John Paul II, San Antonio St. Gerard
and Hallettsville Sacred Heart.
Te increase in the district size and avail-
ability of teams afected St. Pauls schedule
a little.
Wachsmuth said it is good to change up
the districts so teams are not playing the
same teams in district every single year.
He said it will be exciting to watch the
Cardinals continue to get better and better
with their hard work.

SHINER Year in and year out, the Shiner
Comanches play one of the toughest non-district
schedules for a school their size in the state ... and
still usually wind up in the playoffs. Last year, they
nearly grabbed the Class 1A Division I state title
until a late explosion by Stamford left them with
the runner-up trophy by a 41-28 score.
Their reward this season? Getting thrown into a
district with powerhouses Refugio, Schulenburg,
Weimar, Ganado and Flatonia. And thats on top of
losing a bevy of talented seniors like Jacob Stafford
(Air Force) and Marcus Coleman.
A lot of coaches would be wailing the blues, but
Shiners Steven Cerny just shrugs and dives back in.
Its the numbers right now for us, thats whats
going to get us, said Cerny. Weve got a real small
senior and junior class. Weve only got 21 kids suited
out, and weve had to bring up seven sophomores.
With the strength of our schedule, were going to
have to have a lot of guys going both ways and we
have to try to keep from getting them worn out.
Taking over the ground duties will be Tyler Patek,
who rushed for 155 yards and threw for a TD last
season in an understudy role at quarterback. Hell
have a fellow tote-hoss to work with in junior run-
ning back Chad Neubauer, who gained 677 yards a
season ago as a sophomore.
The pair teamed up at the safety spots last sea-
son, but this year theyll move inside to take over at
the all-important linebacker spots, joined by senior
returnee Ernie Egan to give the Comanches three
solid stoppers in the middle.
Well really have to rely on them, especially
early in the year, Cerny said. Theyre athletic and
theyre quick.
It will be in the secondary that Shiner will have to
mature fast, he said.
Were really young in the secondary. Justin
Stovall is a junior, hes got a lot of speed, and weve
brought Dadrian Taylor up, hes a sophomore who
played JV last season, Cerny said.
Its not all moans and groans, of course. The Co-
manches boast returning All-Stater Dillon Kalina
in the front four, and line mates Marcus Rodriguez
is a quality veteran at one end as well. Micah Mar-
kovsky will see action both ways in the middle as
nose guard and center, and Caleb Murrille and Tay-
lor Mraz also got some post-seasoning in last years

12-3 run.
Also look for folks like Alex Bujnoch and Ethan
Zissa to take on key roles.
The unenviable role of taking over for Stafford
at quarterback falls to senior Blake Michalec, who
played primarily wideout last season. Cerny said hes
confident Michalec will handle the load.
Hes been doing a real good job so far, he said.
Patek, hes not real big but hes real strong.
Its the numbers, however, which concern Cerny.
The thing is, will we be able to hold up for a full
game, he said. Theyre adding the 40-second clock
this year, that will help the teams that run the speed
game.
Its hot early in the year, and the bad part is if we
lose somebody (to injury) its going to be one of our
key guys, Cerny said.
Nonetheless, Shiners record of making the play-
offs every year since 1998 is hard to brush off.
This year its more challenging than ever, from
the top down, he said.

It might be a slight year of rebuilding for the
Shiner Lady Comanches in 2014.
Shiner lost about six seniors to graduation,
including a setter and outside hiiter and in ad-
dition, has had one of their libero players sufer a
season-ending injury.
But the Lady Comanches do have youthful
energy in their arsenal.
We have some young players who are step-
ping up to replace what we lost, Shiner head
coach Desiree Nitsch said. It is going to take a
little time to get them up to speed.
Te Lady Comanches have plenty of frepow-
er returning.
Middle blocker Tabitha Blaschke will be one
of the key players in Shiners bid for another play-
of appearance.
Tabitha really grew strong near the end of
district, Nitsch said.
Jennifer Hartl also made her mark.
Jennifer contributed a lot, Nitsch said. She
played on the right side and will add playing in
the middle to her resume this season.
Hartl and Blaschke are Shiners tallest players,
both eclipsing the six-feet mark.
Jayde Kurtz was one of the backup setters in
2013 but played other positions when Shiner
switched to a 5-1 system.
Nitsch said Kurtz will be back as setter for the
season.
Shiner will be looking at Bailey Machacek as
libero or defensive specialist.
I might use her as a utility player, Nitsch said.
Sophomores Lauren Schuette and Kassidy
Bishop are two players that could play as outside
hitters.
Tamara Hajeck will likely play in defensive
situations on the back row and help Shiner on
ofense.
Tamara scores lots of points with her serves,
Nitsch said.
Kori Landmann will see action in the middle
and right side while Samantha Natal will play
middle during some situations.
Alex Flynn will play either back row or on the
outside, Nitsch said.
With a mixed team that has seniors and then
the rest underclassmen, Shiner will take some
time getting used to one another and playing as
a team.
Nitsch said the goal will be to have that ac-
complished by the time the Lady Comanches
start district play.
Our strengths this year will be defense and
our passing, she said. We hope we can get our
ofense going of our passing and defense.
Shiner will also have a challenge in the district
as powerhouse Schulenburg makes an entry. Ri-
vals Flatonia as well as Ganado, Weimar, Louise,
Waelder and Prairie Lea round out the district.
In non-district, Shiner plays Cuero, Halletts-
ville Sacred Heart, Navarro and Karnes City.

LULING Te Luling Eagles have many pluses for 2014
including 13 seniors, two straight playof appearances un-
der head coach Colby Hensley and more speed.
Tey are also bigger in size on the line which will pro-
vide lots of help as the team navigates through the 2014
campaign.
Our kids have put in a good ofseason to be ready for
this regular season, he said.
Luling will be helped greatly if the talented group of se-
niors is able to stay healthy and they are hungry for a better
run afer getting only as far as area in the last two years.
Tey work hard and we ask them to do a lot of stuf,
Hensley said. Tey step up to the challenge. Tey are qual-
ity leaders that I think will step up.
Hensley added that the seniors have been playing togeth-
er since he arrived in Luling fve years ago
Te Eagles have to fll a couple of holes on the team ros-
ter but has made progress in the weeks leading up to the
frst game against Schulenburg.
I have a pretty good idea about how most of those are
going to be flled and we may have a few things up in the air
until the middle of the season, Hensley said.
Hensley will have seven ofensive and six defensive start-

ers that return from an 8-3 (4-2) team that lost in a barn-
burner, 43-40 to Aransas Pass.
Our ofensive linemen are big; we have some skilled guys
that can go so we have a talented group that is also a good
recruiting group for colleges, he said.
Luling will continue to run a balanced spread ofense but
with some new wrinkles with the arrival of new ofensive
coordinator Tomas Knox.
Hensley said three players are being evaluated for quar-
terback Chris Symms, Jarred Zumwalt and Briar Bullock.
Each has an attribute that you like so it will be a tough
decision, he said.
Brendan Cubit, Shaf Cubit and Dazmen Wright are all
slated to carry the football for Luling.
Te Eagles ofensive line will be led by Dontae Green,
who is listed at 340 pounds and 6 feet, 5 inches. Roger Miles
is 6-2 and 250.
Tey are both big and strong, Hensley said.
First-Team All-District Eddie Ordonez will be back on
the line and another spot will be flled with Travis Gibson.
Receivers for Luling will be Taylen Moore, who had lots
of reps last year; Desmond Cubit, Colton Hajovsky, Reece
Franks and Trevor Grabarkiewitz.
Our receivers are a salty group, Hensley said. Taylen is
athletic and quick.
Hajovsky and Franks both eclipse the 6-0 mark in height.
Peyton Roberts will be doing the booting for Luling.
Luling will go with the 4-2-5 system on defense. Gibson
and Miles will play on the defensive line to help Caleb Ma-
gallanez and Joel Sanchez. Devin Murry will be used in a
backup role.
Playing linebacker will be Brendan Cubit, Wright and
Jaret Shefeld. Desmond Cubit and Moore are cornerbacks;
safeties will be Shaf Cubit and Corey Bermudez.
Hensley said a decision has not been fnalized on which
player will handle the punting for the Eagles.
Te Eagles start things with Schulenburg and continue
with Navarro, Blanco, Yoakum and Hallettsville. All of the
fore-mentioned schools have had recent success the last
couple of years.
Luling will face similar ofenses in games against Hal-
lettsville and Yoakum. Te Eagles tangled with the Brahmas
two years ago in the area round.
It is stif competition in the frst fve games, Hensley
said. We will be battle tested by district.
Lulings district is composed of San Antonio-area and
adjacent teams Universal City Randolph, Marion, Ingram
Moore, Comfort and San Antonio Cole.

YOAKUM With all of the returning weap-
ons on ofense and the solid players on defense,
it seems likely the Yoakum Bulldogs will be in
a good position to make the playofs for a third
year in a row.
Tey are very excited about their success,
Yoakum head coach Brent Kornegay said.
Tey know it is a competitive district but we
are familiar with some of the teams like Sinton
and Cuero.
Te Dogs situation in district has changed
Yoakum was moved into the new Class 15-
4A in Division II. Tey will see Cuero, Sinton,
Ingleside and Jourdanton.
Because of being in the second division, Yoa-
kum will not see the Gonzales Apaches in dis-
trict play as the Tribe is Division I.
However, Kornegay and his counterpart at
Gonzales, Kodi Crane, still worked out a deal
where the Apaches and Dogs will play in non-
district.
We do not have anybody that would be con-
sidered a cake walk, he said.
Kornegay said Yoakum returns 16 lettermen
and will carry 19 seniors on the team. Yoakum
has seven returners on each side of the football.
Te challenge will be developing quality
backups, he said. We have good depth with
three deep at skilled positions and two deep on
the lines. Our ofensive line will probably be the
key for us.
Yoakum will continue to run a spread ofense.
Spearheading the Dogs will be quarterback
TreVontae Tre Hights who is dangerous to
opposing team with his arm and his legs.
Hights talent has been noticed by coaches at
the next level and he has made a verbal commit-
ment to attend Big 12 school Texas Christian
University.
Yoakum is loaded with playmakers on of-
fense.
Tre is going to make plays but we have lots
of other kids in the backfeld to take the pres-
sure of him since everybody knows who he is,
Kornegay said.
Yoakums other options at quarterback are
Tyler Kornegay and Josh Moore.
At the Dogs fullback spots are Travious
Hights, Jared Garza, Hunter Lauer and Zach
Rodriguez. Tailbacks are Davontay Mathis,
Martin Rosales and Dantey Eldridge. Miguel
Resendiz, Caden Fishbeck, Paul Garcia and
Moore will play as Yoakums Z backs.
Te Dogs will once again have a ton of receiv-
ers for the quarterback to pass to.
X receivers are Tyler Kornegay, Travis De-
bault and Will Turmond; Y receivers are Aus-
tin McCoy, Glenn Love and Steven Sangster.
Ofensive linemen returning from last year
are Spencer Brandt (center), Ricky Canseco (lef
guard) and Krystian Brzozowski (right guard).
Mason Galvan will be right tackle and lef
tackle will be Trenton Bridges. Players in backup
roles are Travis Brandt, Marvin Davis, Cesar
Maravilla, Colton Janik, Colt Richards, Ricky
Camarillo and Blake Jacobs.
Yoakum does not have to worry about place-
kicking as returner Edgar Maravilla will contin-
ue in that role. Debault will handle the punting
for the Dogs.
Yoakums defense will run the odd-man
front/50 system.
Linemen are Bridges, Davis, Love and Jacobs
and backing them up will be Brzozowski, Rich-
ards, Galvan, Canseco, Travis Brandt, McCoy,
Rodriguez, Cesar Maravilla and Spencer Brandt
Middle linebacker is 2013 All-State selection
Ricky Camarillo; Weak-side linebacker is Garza;
strong-side linebacker will be Lauer. Other play-
ers expected to make contributions at linebacker
are Travious Hights, Dylan Belcik, Janik, Resen-
diz,
In the secondary, cornerbacks are Dantey El-
dridge and Rosales, Fishbeck will be at free safe-
ty and Tre Hights is strong safety. Teir backups
are Garcia, Mathis, Ryan Garza, , Tyler Korne-
gay, Debault, Turmond, Moore and Sangster.

The Yoakum Lady Bulldogs have
established quite a tradition of be-
ing competitive in district play and
qualifying for the playoffs every year.
In 2013, the Lady Dogs came in
second place in district 26-3A with
an 8-3 mark and were b-district final-
ists, falling to Needville 3-2.
This year, Yoakum has a slightly
new district as they will continue to
be grouped in with rivals Gonzales
and Cuero, get reunited with former
district opponent La Vernia and will
get to know Comal Canyon Lake, Na-
varro and Wimberley.
Head coach Alisha Boysen said she
feels the Lady Dogs will have to be
better in district than what they have
been the last several years.
We are going to have to step up
our game and compete with this new
district even more, she said.
Yoakum will have six seniors on the
roster, with four returning players/
starters and two newcomers to var-
sity.
Sheyanne Chumchal, Faith Hagan,
Latrice Brown and Celine Markert all
played on varsity last year. McKenzie
Heller and Kaitlyn Caka are the new
kids on the block with little to no var-
sity experience.
Hagan will once again help the Lady
Dogs at the setter post; Brandi Evans
will be the 2014 libero; outside-hitter
roles will be performed by Tori Ra-
mert and Chumchal.
Middle players are Brown and
Markert with Hanna Smith and Caka
playing right side.
Other players for Yoakum are
MeKeilla Eldridge, Kara Pohl, Fran-
ny Patek and McKayla Kutzer.
Yoakums non-district schedule in-
cluded Port Lavaca Calhoun, Rock-
port, Industrial, Beeville, Halletts-
ville and East Bernard. Tournaments
are Columbus, Sinton and Edna.
Our pre-district schedule is tough
because we are playing in some pretty
competitive tournaments such as Co-
lumbus, Sinton and Edna this year,
Boysen said. As for the other games,
we are up against some great pro-
grams and playing these teams will
help us get to where we need to be.

Veterans make Yoakum
a contender to consider
By MARK LUBE
FLATONIA In 2013, the Flatonia Bulldogs football team
qualifed for the playofs for the frst time in several years and
went all the way to the regional semifnals, losing to rivals Shiner
35-0.
Now, with a sizeable taste of the playofs, the Dogs are hungry
for more success.
We had 22 lettermen experience playof football and be a
part of a winning football team. Now they are hungry to do it
again, Flatonia head coach Chris Freytag said. We also did
very well in our other sports programs.
Flatonia will continue to break out a ground-based, power
running, option attack.
Junior Braydon Mica and junior Casen Novak are the two
battling for the starting quarterback position.
Freytag said Blaine Besetzny could also be an option as the
season progresses.
Casen throws the ball best out of the bunch, he said. He
is probably the best natural quarterback. Blaine reads the veer
really well and Braydon is a smart player who will do whatever
you ask of him, and do it to his best ability.
I feel comfortable with our depth at quarterback.
Flatonia has Gus Venegas, Omar Castillo, Marcus Mica, San
Juan Ramirez, Matthew Kozelsky and Eddie Manzano available
to run the football.
Freytag said Venegas will play both running back and receiver
on ofense.
In the receiver group is Venegas, Jose Manzano, Kozelsky,
Raul Olmos, Corey Lyons and Samuel Netro.
Flatonia will place Netro, Daniel Rodriguez, Kozelsky and
Ramirez at the tight end position.
On the ofensive line, Lane Janecka will return as center. It will
be his third year as a starter.
Tyler Kellis is the right tackle and lef tackle will be Jesus Ro-
driguez. Right guard will be Abraham Centeno with Julio Cas-
tellano slated as the starter at lef guard.
Our ofensive line is where we are going to win games since
they all are back, Freytag said.
Backup players for the line are Luke Freytag, Zechariah Plum-
mer and Ryan Kellis
Jose Manzano will handle placekicking while Besetzny could
do some g as well. Venegas or Marcus Mica will handle the
punting.
Freytag said his main concerns on ofense will be quarterback
and receiver depth, and depth of the ofensive line as well.
On defense, the Bulldogs will be in the 4-3 system.
Janecka will be strong-side end along with Jesus Rodriguez.
Weak-side ends will be Clayton Lyons, Ryan Kellis and Luke
Freytag.
Defensive tackles will be Castellano, Centeno, Tyler Kellis,
Daniel Rodriguez, Cesar Castillo and Jose Robles.
Middle linebacker will be played by Ramirez and Eddie Man-
zano while the weakside linebacker will be Marcus Mica and
Omar Castillo.
Strong-side linebackers will be Besetzmy and Netro.
In the secondary, Olmos and Kozelsky will play the corner-
backs; Novak will be free safety with Braydon Mica and Venegas
playing the rover spots. Corey Lyons could play some at rover.
Our defense has a chance to be really good if we can be quick
and physical, Chris Freytag said. Our secondary, once they get
settled, could be the strongest one we have ever had in my 12
years at Flatonia.
Flatonia is in a tough district with Weimar, Ganado, rivals
Shiner, and powerhouses Refugio and Schulenburg.
A good team will not make the playofs out of this district,
Chris Freytag said. Saying our district will be competitive is an
understatement; It is going to be brutal.
FLATONIA Lady Bulldog volleyball coach Kaylyn
Boenisch is not shying away from wanting a lot from her
players for the 2014 season.
I have big expectations for this season, she said. We
have not made the playofs for the past two years and we
are shooting for them this year.
Te Lady Dogs get Ganado, Shiner, Schulenburg, Wei-
mar, Louise, Waelder and Prairie Lea in the district sched-
ule.
Schulenburg and Weimar are considered to be the top
two teams in the district with the third spot a tossup among
the remaining teams.
Boenisch has fve seniors on the roster for 2014 Mae-
cie Mikulenka, Jaycee Fike, Kimberlyn Michalec, Kylie
Mica and Alanis Ribera.
Flatonia will need to perfect serve-receive, passing and
defensive play to be successful in 2014.
Te Lady Dogs are solid on attacking and hitting.
Ribera, returning setter, and Miksch will be the Flatonia
setters. Miksch is new to the position, having played 2013
as an outside hitter.\
Mica will be the libero, and Amy Koncaba and Fike will
be the defensive specialists.
Fernanda Torres and Rachel Steinhauser are the outside
hitters. Savannah Flood, Maggie Mica, Miksch and Mi-
chalec will play as middle blocker.
Michalec, Flood and Kylie Mica will also play on the
back row.
Tis years non-district schedule saw Flatonia play in
Shiner, Schulenburg and Rice tournaments, and play Hal-
lettsville, Rice, Sealy, Shiner St. Paul, Runge and Halletts-
ville Sacred Heart.
Te Flatonia program is putting out very positive vibes
about the season.
Tere is a lot of positive energy going on this year, she
said. We are having fun and there is a lot of excitement to
be revealed.
Bulldogs set sights on another taste of post-season
