Measom yields Constable duties to new blood

Raleigh Measom says hes

Its been a good ride,
Measom said after announcing his retirement,

meeting. I first came here
in 1990, then was elected

but under Measoms watch
the office has gained additional capabilities.
Over the years Ive done
everything from homicide

served the entire county,

not just one precinct.
Measom was among

Special to The cannon
Tuesday, October 7, was our

National Night Out Celebration
(NNO) at McMahan Womens
Club. The NNO is the culmination of our year of Neighborhood
Watch Meetings (NWM). Our
Neighborhood Watch Meetings
are held the second Tuesday of
each even-numbered month, except for December, at 7 PM at the
Womens Club. Sgt Frank Alvarez
of the Caldwell County Sheriffs
Department is our liaison for
these meetings.
Sgt. Alvarez came to our
county fairly recently with an
extensive background in law enforcement and crime prevention.
Our NWM are very informative

and interesting. Just at the last
two meetings, Sgt. Alvarez has
informed us of or we have discussed:
A person impersonating a law
enforcement officer, burglaries in
our area, an armed robbery in our
area, kidnappings, child endangerment and/or assault of a child,
drownings, stolen vehicles, the
significance of your house number being at the end of your driveway, the progress of the Citizens
Academy, parents needing to be
more interactive with their children (especially teenagers), the
sheriff departments canine unit
(complete with a visit from Sgt.
Wahlert and Tosca), meth labs
(in our area), new positions at the

sheriffs department, the turnover

rate for employees at the sheriffs
department, the Bike Rodeo put
on by the sheriffs department
each year, we have had visiting
officers to discuss their positions
with the county, we discussed the
dump that is being considered
in northern Caldwell County,
Mexican cartel connections (in
our area), cocaine/marijuana
busts using tracking dogs, drugs
in the schools, we received news
from McMahan Womens Club,
illegal immigrants being hidden
in abandoned buildings during
transport across the state (again,
in our area), confiscation of illegal
weapons.
You may think that where we
live is a rural area which is safe
from crime. That is far from the
truth. For the most part, criminals do not randomly pick their
victims or targets. He or she is
going to analyze any situation
before going into it. A criminal
will more than likely have been
watching your house and know
your schedule(s) and when someone is home or not. The average
burglary takes three minutes. So a
criminal also knows that he or she
can be in and out of your house or
onto and off of your property and
down the road long before law
enforcement will have a chance to
show up. We are not safer because
we live in a rural area. We are actually more susceptible to crimes
because we live in a rural area.

MEASOM: Steps down after

nearly 25 years with county
Continued from page A1
3 Constables office has taken on an even

newer role.
With the Eagle Ford coming in, were
responsible for all the permitting for county road access (for drilling sites), he noted.
And I worked with attorney Bob Bass to
help develop the countys subdivision ordinance that we have now.
He credits a good working relationship
with other agencies and Commissioners
Court over the years for adding responsibility to the office.
Weve had good commissioners to work
with, a good county judge, he said. We
have our differences from time to time, but
we always work through it.
The biggest change he said hes seen is
the population demographic in the county
and changes in the justice system.
These days we spend so much time probating and deferring, he said.
Measom began his career in law enforcement with the U.S. Coast Guard from 196468, serving as a radio operator aboard the
cutter Comanche and later with the cutter
Taney the last Pearl Harbor veteran vessel still afloat at the time. His duties took
him from the Port of San Francisco to Vietnam.
He later worked several law enforcement
jobs and as a rancher before settling in
Gonzales County.
I did a little ranching, you do that til
you go broke and then you go out and get a
real job, he chuckled.
He and his wife Debbie married in 1970
and the couple raised four girls.
Now we just want to get out and travel, see the grandkids, he said. Id like to
travel and see all 50 states. Well, maybe not
Hawaii, its expensive.
He told Commissioners Monday that
I plan to be in the Smoky Mountains by
Monday or Tuesday.
Commissioners Court on Monday voted
to appoint Measoms deputy, Derrick Johnson, to fill the remainder of his term, which
expires in 2017.
Over the last year Ive put almost all the
workload on him to see if he can handle it,
and he can, Measom said. My job now is
to pump diesel into that motor home.

SMILEY: County to help town

get its police force mobilized
tially approving that item, Commissioners

amended that to direct that one of the vehicles,
a 2011 Crown Victoria, be designated for gifting
to Smiley.
Eventually were going to have to make a trip
over here to the jail, so this will help, Schroeder
said.
Sheriff Glen Sachtleben said that both 2011
Crown Victorias declared surplus have more
than 100,000 miles on them. The police lights
and cage apparatus will remain, but Smiley will

have to supply its own communications equipment.
Commissioners also approved contuing participation in the 1033 Program for the Sheriffs
Department.
This allows us to requisition military surplus,
from furniture all the way up to tanks and aircraft, Sachtleben said, but adding quickly: But
I have no intention of going there (tanks). This
is an annual prorgram that helps us get some
equipment like generators at a very low cost.
VAZ: Preparedness, awareness

will minimize fears on Ebola
open world of which we

are citizens.
Even though Algorithms
and protocols for combating this disease are in a
heightened fluid state, vigilance should remain at the
highest degree.
To put things into perspective, WHO reported
that influenza and tuberculosis are known to take
more lives each year than
Ebola will ever do. The two
nurses that acquired the
disease on United States
soil are expected to completely recovery. Dr. Stacy
Dalvin, The Texas Department of State Health Series (DSHS) Director of
Epidemiology of Region
8 (which includes Gonza-
les County and 27 other

counties) has assured me
there are no cases of Ebola
reported in Region 8. She,
however, cautioned that being prepared to prevent the
spread of all communicable
diseases is the take home
message from this experience with the Ebola virus.
At this time, there have
been no known American deaths from Ebola on
American soil.
There have been local
meetings regarding preparedness. There has also
been training on utilization
of the Personal Protection
Equipment (PPE) at Gonzales Memorial Hospital
(GMH). Carol Villarreal,
the infectious disease control nurse at GMH assures
me that nurses have been
trained to use PPE and

Dr. Roland Medellin the
Medical Director of GMH
emergency room has also
assured me that the doctors in the emergency room
have been trained on the
use of PPE.
As you may gather from
all the attention this disease has created, should
the unlikely event occur
that an Ebola infected
individual reach our ER,
we are prepared to follow
protocol.
The community is admonished to receive all
immunization that is
available to prevent increased illness. Most insurance companies pay
100% for influenza, pneumonia, hepatitis B, and
shingles immunizations.
Although your insurance
may not pay for the pertussis immunization, it
is highly recommended
that every person of age
should receive that immunization to save the
lives of newborns that are
at risk until the newborns
can safely receive this immunization.
I, Sheryl Barborak, ask

the voters of Gonzales
County for their support
in the November 4th
General Election. I have
served as County
Treasurer since 2003 with
pride, honesty and
integrity. The County
Treasurers Office has been a success in County
Government all these years because I accepted
the trust of Gonzales County voters twelve years
ago and served all the people with accountability,
dedication and efficiency. Therefore, I am asking
for your vote to continue serving as your County
Treasurer.

Want to end flu symptoms? Ramen Stew is the answer

Those of you readers who are
not poor, or a bachelor, or both,
will never quite understand neither the art nor the necessity of
making Ramen Stew.
Some college students may be
able to sympathize to a point, but
its only those of us who have had
to make that last $7 from the previous paycheck stretch out over 13
days who can truly understand.
The notion of Ramen Stew
came to us after two agonizing
days of being bored to death while
stuck in the barracks at Marine
Corps Air Station Futenma during the very close visit of Typhoon
Flo in 1990.
For those not familiar with the
storm, Super Typhoon Flo was a
Category 5 storm which brushed
Okinawa on its way to crashing
into Honshu, Japan, in September
1990, killing 30 people and doing
billions of dollars in damage.
The Marine barracks were, of
course, built to withstand such
a storm, but the violence of the
winds got a shelter in place order
issued which effectively bottled us
up for nearly 72 hours. We werent
Dances with
Chihuahuas
Dave
Mundy
Editor and
Publisher
even allowed to trek the 300 yards
or so to the chow hall; we were all
issued three MREs (Meal, Readyto-Eat) and told to stay put.
Needless to say, the MREs were
gone within the first six hours.
As might be expected, the
geedunk, soda and beer (vending)
machines in the barracks were
rapidly depleted of everything
before the power got knocked out
even the stuff no one ever gets
from a vending machine, like diet
pretzels. And after 340 games of
three-handed spades, we decided
it was time to raid the emergency
stores those instant meals all
Marines who spend any time in
the field buy for just such an emergency.
This would normally consist of

several packs of Ramen soup mix,
as well as a few cans of vienna
sausages, crackers, tuna, cream
cheese, granola bars or other similarly easy-to-store, easy-to-snackon items.
But after two days of eating that
stuff, you still long for a real meal.
Contacting our neighbors in the
barracks, we came up with a plan.
We located a gallon-sized pot
and a few containers of Sterno
heating fuel. I still had two packs
of ramen left. Abercrombie had a
can of vienna sausages. Doll had
some tuna. Someone else had a
small one-serving can of mixed
vegetables. We filled the pot, got
the small burner going and got the
stew started.
Word got around. Someone
else stopped in to contribute some
leftover yakisoba hed gotten out
in town before the storm. Another guy contributed his MRE
ham loaf, cut in small chunks.
Yet another contributed an entire
12-ounce can of new potatoes.
Before it was all said and done,
wed located a second pot and had
Marines with bowls of stew wandering up and down the hallway

on the second floor of the barracks
in between games of cards.
In the years since I left the
Corps, Ive had more than one
occasion to fire up another batch
of Ramen Stew. Lots of times its
because Im trying to make that
paycheck stretch, other times its
because Im having my once-ayear visit from a mild form of flu.
Ramen Stew is a sure-fire cure
for most flu symptoms, Ive found.
Out here in the civilian world,
of course, you have a lot more
options for ingredients to Ramen
Stew. Unlike the tiny little refrigerators in the Marine barracks, most
domiciles in the disorganized civilian world have big ones.
And if youre poor, or a bachelor, or both, most big refrigerators have things in there which
have long outlived their usefulness
except as part of Ramen Stew. Its
kind of like recycling, for food.
So when the Creeping Crud decided to pay its annual visit to me
this weekend, the crock pot got
fired up, the ramen got unwrapped
and I set to work searching for ingredients to round out my culinary cure for flu symptoms.
I bought two plates at the Belmont VFD barbecue fund-raiser a
few weeks back, ate one there and
brought one home and put it in
the fridge. The firefighters will be
happy to know that while the brisket had dried out, it still did quite
fine once re-hydrated.
Id planned to use the chicken,
too, but it started running the moment I opened the container and
was able to escape into the back
yard. The potato salad worked
great, though.
Once you scrape the top layer
of green stuff off, I found, refrigerated lasagna adds a unique taste to
Ramen Stew. Ditto that with chili
and remains of a chicken fried
steak dinner.
Not everything in the refrigerator, however, can pass muster for
Ramen Stew. The oreo pie I made
last July (thats July, 2013, not last
July) had reached petrification
stage and is now hanging on my
wall as a nouveau art display.
And Im cured of the flu.
Elitists want to off most of us

at 75; protect your cornbread!
Life expectancy would grow by leaps
and bounds if green vegetables
smelled as good as bacon.
Doug Larson
Through the years Ive always accepted a bit of common knowledge.
Pertaining to my ownself.
Of this Im certain. I was never
promised a tomorrow. And a few of
the yesterdays are always best forgotten. Thats why I have always cherished the present. The day. As in today. And everyday. One day at a time.
At this stage and phase after 70
years of waltzing through this wondrous world. It is without morbidity
to consider mortality. Though the two
words coincide negative sickness
and death incidents in a persons
life.

on an article I perused (there I go
employing that crossword puzzle
word again: peruse) recently concerning comments made by a Dr. Ezekiel
Emanuel. A tacky and pulpy idjit if
there ever was one.

month for The Atlantic titled Why I
Hope to Die at 75. And he opines that

Cannon. He now lives in the Moulton area.
we died at 75. His cornbread mentality contends that once past 75 one is
no longer a productive member of society. Becoming a burden as one gobbles up collective health resources.
Shades of Sarah Palins prophecy in
the 2009 debate when she alluded to
death panels as the legislature was
bandying about proposed health care
legislation. Some argued a death panel was a myth. Others not.
Regardless, Emanuel figures that
only people with what he allows as
high-quality lives deserve to keep
living. And those with low-quality
lives should just go ahead and kick the
bucket or pull the trigger.
So if you have a PhD or can name
nine state capitols youre blessed to
keep on trucking. But if youre a burger-flipper or insurance agent you may
as well stop at a dead end.
Gist is of it is is he considers agerelated, I assume in my depleted old
mind, decline in mind and frailty in
the limbs as cause to stop treatment
for an old-timer over 75 years. When
it comes to health care.
Heavens to Betsy. Guess what. Dr.
Emanuel is one of the primary architects of the Affordable Care Act. And
a chief medical advisor to the Obama
administration. As Gomer Pyle would
stress, Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Is the doctors thinking elitist? Definitely. Thats why at times I feel the IQ
and the life expectancy of the elitist
(politicians and academicians) American recently passed each other going
in opposite directions.
By the way, I read somewhere once
that the average life expectancy of
non-vegetarians is 72 years and that of
vegetarians is 84 years. This makes me
really, really, I mean downright sad
that vegetarians must live 12 additional years eating food that tastes

from scratch that when buttered was
so good it would make your tongue

breath without ever knowing if Bill

The self-indulgent triviality

of the Ferguson protesters
It wasnt so long ago that Ferguson,
MO., was supposed to be an American
morality tale of racism, the militarization
of police and all manner of other evil.
For a few weeks in August, the attention
of the national media focused on
the suburb of St. Louis, and MSNBC
practically broadcast nothing else.
While the media long ago moved on,
the protests have persisted, entering their
late, decadent phase of self-indulgent
triviality. Cornel West got arrested last
week, and Al Sharpton is heading back
to Ferguson at the end of the month to
pump up attention for what styles itself a
movement, although it is more tinny by
the day.
A hallmark of August was pointlessly
destructive civil disorder, and its only
gotten more pointless. In late September,
the makeshift memorial to Michael
Brown on the street in Ferguson burned
down. This set off minor rioting,
including the vandalizing of a beauty
salon that has been hit multiple times for
the offense of operating a business in a
town where protesters are so committed
to justice.
In nearby St. Louis a few weeks later,
an off-duty cop working as a private
security guard shot to death a teen who
had fired at him with a Ruger 9 mm. It
turned out the gun had been stolen two
weeks earlier, and the teen, monitored
with an ankle bracelet, had been awaiting
trial on a felony concealed-weapon
charge. Protesters took the streets to
demonstrate against what would strike
most people as a legitimate act of selfdefense, chanting the inapt Hands up,
dont shoot!
A grand jury is still considering the
evidence in the shooting of Michael
Brown, which protesters long ago
concluded is a case of murder in the first
degree. Its not possible for anyone who
wasnt there to know what happened on
that day, when Browns friend said Brown
was attacked by Officer Darren Wilson
and shot while running away.
An anonymous witness who saw the
entire incident from beginning to end
told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that after

an initial scuffle in the car, Officer Wilson

didnt shoot Brown until he turned back
toward him. Brown kept coming toward
Wilson despite orders to stop, and was
20-25 feet away when the last shots were
fired. According to the witness, Brown
did not raise his arms in the gesture of
surrender that is the iconic symbol of the
Ferguson protests. Although the witness
believes Wilson didnt have to kill Brown,
his version is more complicated than the
one taken as a given by the protesters.
The New York Times has reported that
Darren Wilson told investigators that
Brown pinned him in his vehicle and
there was a struggle over his gun, and he
feared for his life. FBI forensics show that
the gun was indeed fired twice in the car,
and Browns blood was on the gun and
Officer Wilsons uniform.
Sharpton and protesters maintain
that all they want is justice. It may well
be what justice demands in this case is
no indictment of a cop who fired in selfdefense. Although, sadly, that is unlikely
to be a formula for peace.

PC equals stupidity in the U.S.
Dear Editor,
Regarding Dave Mundys op-ed about
instituting the laws of Mexico, people do
not know how good it is here. Have you
ever gone through customs to get INTO
Mexico? I did that in 1988 for a mission
trip.
Guess what language they used? Spanish.
They made no allowances for non-Spanish
speakers. We had to have our own interpreters. Here in the U.S., we provide interpreters for virtually every known language.
Here we have official forms in both English and Spanish. Not Czech, German,
Gaelic, Russian, Egyptian, only Spanish. I
understand there are some French speakers at our northern border. Let us go into
Mexico and tell them that they have to
print their government forms in Spanish
and English. Guess how far THAT dog
would hunt.
Very recently for Halloween, the other
publication in Gonzales published the local registered sex offender list. There are
many obviously Hispanic surnames listed

as white. None are listed as Hispanic.
I called to find out why. I was told at the
I was told that at the police station they
are considered white !!! I work at KPMF
where many of the employees are from
Mexico. Question: Do they speak the
white language?
Is this where political correctness has
taken us? Only in the USA can correctness equal stupidity.
Dear Editor,
Enclosed is my money order for my subscription renewal. I apologize for it being

EDITORS NOTE: Anthropologically
speaking, the police are correct to refer
to those of Hispanic origin as white
because they are the same race. Caucasians, Native Americans and Hispanics
all share the same racial characteristics
and are considered one race by modern
anthropologists.

This is an edited transcript

with Texas state representative Lois Kolkhorst heard on
The News from the Camphouse on KULM 98.3 FM.
Brune: A good situation
may be approaching. We will
assume that Texas state senator Glenn Hegar, who is running for state comptroller,
wins that position. Then his
seat in the senate will need to
be filled. Presently, you, Representative Kolkhorst have
filed to run for Hegars vacated seat in a special election
in December. This brings the
opportunity for a lot of questions.
One point to realize is that
voters like statesman that
keep their word. You, Representative Kolkhorst and Senator Hegar were instrumental
in stopping the Trans Texas
Corridor from being shoved
down our throats. You have
also been a fiscal hawk and
voted against an ever-expanding budget. It is honest
to say that youve done an exemplary job of representing
your constituents and they
should look forward to you
moving up to the senate.
Now, will you file a bill to
put river authorities under
Sunset Review and will you
broach the appointed positions that fill the Lower
Colorado River Authoritys
(LCRA) board of directors?
Kolkhorst: I was on the
house side of the Sunset
Commission for four years.
Every twelve years, or less,
state agencies are evaluated
in relation to their purpose.
It is then decided by the
commission whether that
purpose should be changed,
limited, or eliminated. And
yes, I will file a bill putting
all river authorities under
Sunset Review. Then we will
look at the way (LCRA) directors are appointed. There
have been loud complaints
that many people feel underrepresented on that board.
That is one reason for needing Sunset Review.
I have been disappointed
by the votes of that board.
However, we do have the
commitment and funding in
place for a water plan that
may help rice farmers with
off-channel reservoirs. These
reservoirs would be filled
and pulled down. Because
they would be pulled down,
they would not be available
to recreational use. That may
take some of the pressure off.
The fight in the legislature
will be what is the intended
use of the water? Originally,
the highland lakes were to
tame the river and hold water

for agriculture and municipal use. I think weve strayed

from that purpose.
The LCRA staff and board
know how I feel I have been
a loud voice and will continue to be a loud voice.
There is another point we
must consider. The rice industry is absolutely important. And the river is not the
same as when we grew up.
Most of the water we see is
effluent water from Austin.
We must also study the rising salinity of our bays and
estuaries. Our senate district
runs from Rockport to Lockhart and the economy of the
Texas Gulf Coast is an essential element in the fiscal
health of the state. We must
know and understand the
studies done concerning the
needed freshwater inflow to
our bays and estuaries.
Brune: Which committees
would you seek to sit on in
the senate?
Kolkhorst: The senate allows a legislator to be on
more committees than the
house. The Lieutenant Governor sets the committees.
My interests would lie in
having a say in gubernatorial appointments. Then the
natural resource committee
must be a part of my life. Im
also interested in the budget
and then there are committees that are very much a part
of our district effecting immigration, law enforcement,
and education. I am going to
try and have a large portfolio
of committee assignments.
Brune: Please explain your
efforts concerning illegal immigration.
Kolkhorst: We have a porous border. It became worse
around 2004. Recently, we
had the unaccompanied children issue on the border. At
the height of the problem we
were apprehending 6,600/
week according to the Department of Public Services
(DPS). Some of the other
numbers I was seeing put
that figure closer to 10,000.
Seventy-six
percent
are
Other Than Mexican.
The state is limited in handling illegal immigration. We

can only arrest illegals after a
crime such as human trafficking or trafficking drugs.
The state cannot arrest an illegal alien for being an illegal
alien. That is a federal issue.
But as Texas legislators we
pushed to send more DPS
troopers down to the border
on a rotation that was implemented in surges. We saw
that these surges pushed the
apprehension numbers down
from 6,600/week to 1,800/
week. These surges also cost
Texas taxpayers $1.3 million/
week. We have done 50 surges since 2006. That cost Texas taxpayer more than $635
million. That does not reflect
federal dollars and U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul is
trying to get us reimbursed.
We also have 11 boats running up and down the river.
The Texas DPS boats have
four mounted machine guns
and Kevlar shields. They are
way better than the Border
Patrol boats. Our boats have
never even been shot at
they are a presence of power.
We need a permanent
force on the border. The hotspots are Cameron County,
Hidalgo County, and Starr
County. They are the natural
crossing areas for illegals.
The only bill that passed
the Texas Legislature thwarting illegal immigration was
my bill saying that anyone
taking Texas abatements or
incentives for their business
had to give it back if they
hired illegal immigrants.
I also introduced a bill
that if law enforcement was
holding an illegal, and ICE
wouldnt pick them up, the
law enforcement could drop
the illegal off at the local
U.S. Congressmans office.
Of course, that bill didnt
pass but it got the attention
of our congressman. Porous
borders are a matter of sovereignty, security, and our
health.
The 2008 federal law allows many of the South and
Central American illegal immigrants to claim asylum.
I guarantee if our problems
were happening in the U.S.
Northeastern states that law
would have been changed
and were working with Congress to get it changed.
Brune: Everyone agrees
that property taxes are too
high. What will you do?
Kolkhorst: We must have a
fair equitable way to finance
schools, but we must have tax
cuts and cut out government
waste. Thats the only way to
keep the economy growing.
God helps us realize when to get out of the hot water
It has been said that there

are two ways to boil a live
frog. The first way involves
heating the water until it
boils and then throwing
the frog into the pot. The
effectiveness of this method is unpredictable since it
is very likely that the frog
will feel the heat and jump
out. I know I would.
The second way works
the majority of the time
because it is much sneakier.
This method involves
putting the frog in a pot of
cold water and then slowly
heating up the water until it
boils. Frogs are cold blooded, which means that their
body temperature changes
to match that of their environment. In this case, the
slow increase in water temperature causes the frog to
change its body temperature little by little. Conforming internally with its
external environment enables the frog to tolerate the
heat. Unfortunately for the
frog, by the time it realizes
the water is dangerously
hot, it is already boiling to
death.
OK. Lets say you are the
frog. The water represents
Love, Eloise
Eloise
Estes
a cesspool of things that
you can fall into. The temperature represents the degree of your involvement in
those things.
The difference between
you and the frog, however, is that the frog doesnt
choose to get in hot water.
You see, the deadly power of sin is that it can kill us
one degree at a time. Our
bad choices worsen in direct relation to the deadening of our conscience. We
get involved in what society
considers normal and we
stop feeling ashamed of our
wrong behavior. Before we
realize what has happened,
ever-so-slowly, one bad
choice followed by another,
we are trapped in a lifestyle
that is opposed to what
God considers right. Sin
is defined as missing the
mark that God sets as our
target. Some people think
that God is trying to keep
them from enjoying their
lives by commanding us to
obey Him. They consider
submission to God a limitation of their free will. The
exact opposite is actually
the case. God never forces
us to obey Him, He simply
sets boundaries to keep us
safe from harm.
What can we do to avoid
the pitfalls? First and foremost we each need to come
to a decision about who
God is and what He wants
of us individually. Why is
this first?
Because the choices we
make are not always wise
ones. Wisdom to make
good choices comes from
God, through our spiritual
connection with Jesus. We
were designed by our Creator with a mind capable
of gathering and processing information, and with
the ability to choose what
to do with the information
that weve obtained. Unfortunately, without this vital
connection we are powerless over temptation, slaves
to the devil and to our own
carnal nature. We will find
ourselves prisoners to selfgratification and doomed
to do wrong.
When Christians choose

to get involved in the
things that are Biblically
wrong we distance ourselves from God and will
end up feeling lost and
alone. Although God never forsakes us He will allow
us to do as we please. And,
when we choose to remain
in an ungodly lifestyle we
cut ourselves off from our
only source of spiritual life,
and disconnection from
God always equals spiritual
demise. Trading off temporary pleasures for eternal
bliss is not a good choice.
But, it is a personal choice
that each of us must make
for ourselves. No one can
force us to do anything we
dont want to do. Not people. Not the devil. Not even
God. But, you say, I have
the right to do anything I
want. Yes, you do. But thee
are some things that are not
beneficial. (1 Corinthians
6:12) On the other hand,
obedience to God brings
blessings from God. Just
as a Father passes down an
inheritance to his children,
so does God. Christians
are Gods children and He
promises to bless us when
we obey Him. But, if we

choose to follow the devil,
we have made a choice to
be adopted by him and we
will reap those rewards instead. Lets not blame God
for the consequences we
reap from doing what weve
been warned not to do.
God gives us a very big
hint of what we should do
to be blessed in the book of
Exodus, Chapter 30:11-20.
He says: This command
I am giving you today is
not too difficult for you to
understand or perform...
Now listen! Today I am
giving you a choice between
prosperity and disaster, between life and death. I have
commanded you today to
love the LORD your God
and to keep his commands,
laws, and regulations by
walking in his ways. If you
do this, you will live and
become a great nation,
and the LORD your God
will bless you and the land
you are about to enter and
occupy. But if your heart
turns away and you refuse
to listen, and if you are
drawn away to serve and
worship other gods, then I
warn you now that you will
certainly be destroyed...
Today I have given you the
choice between life and
death, between blessings
and curses. I call on heaven
and earth to witness the
choice you make. Oh, that
you would choose life, that
you and your descendants
might live! Choose to love
the LORD your God and
to obey him and commit
yourself to him, for he is
your life. Then you will live
long in the land the LORD
swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob.
Christians are the descendants spoken of in the
Bible. We have a choice to
love Him enough to submit
to His wishes and do as He
says. It is for our own good
to make His wishes our priority.
Life or Death. Blessings
or Curses. The choice is up
to you.
God keep you safe until
next time...

Acceptable forms of photo ID include: Texas Drivers License, Texas
Identification Card, Texas Concealed
Handgun License, US Passport (all of
these must be unexpired or expired
within 60 days); US Military Identification Card; US Citizenship Certificate (with photo).
If you do not have any of the above
listed forms of ID, you may apply for

COUNTY: Commissioners have questions

also voted to disapprove a revolving loan
application for Dilworth Inn & Suites following a recommendation from the Gonzales Area Development Corp.
Bird told commissioners the GADCs
loan committee felt that while completion
of the Dilworth project could be accomplished by the loan and was necessary, the
loan application also asked for operating
funds and the total amount was more than
the amount currently in the revolving loan
account.
In other action Monday, the Court:
Approved a bid on a property resale
pending action by other taxing entities;
Set the date of the countys Christmas
Party for Dec. 10;
Moved the scheduled Commissioner
Court meeting from Nov. 10 to Nov. 12
and also set that date to officially canvass
the Nov. 4 general election;
Approved changes to the law-enforcement memorandum of understanding be-
Clerk Lee Riedel said.

County Auditor Becky Weston told
commissioners part of the problem with
the software upgrades is that some of the
programs involved are still in test mode,
and the upgrade cant be applied until that
test mode is completed.
County Attorney Paul Watkins added
that another issue is differences between
the countys hardware and the software.
The Oracle software is 32-bit, he said.
Our new machines are all 64-bit.
County Tax Assessor-Collector Crystal
Cedillo said her department is also experiencing similar difficulties. County Judge
David Bird suggested the court question
TEQSYS representatives directly at its next
meeting, and commissioners opted to table
action on renewing the contract pending
that meeting.
During Mondays meeting, the court
tween the county and Gonzales ISD;

Approved setting a single fee for renewal or transfer of cattle brands at $15;
Declared a 2000 Ranco dump trailer
as surplus and approved the purchase of
a Pac-Mule bottom dump trailer for Precinct 2;
Approved a membership agreement
between county employees and San Antonio Air Life;
Approved plat changes and infrastructure plans for the Lodge at Nixon subdivision in Precinct 4;
Approved a resolution for the Gonzales

ELECTION: Both parties short of volunteers

presiding judge.
I got a phone call from his office,
but I still dont have any paperwork
and I dont know whos supposed to be
there, said Riedel, contacted by phone
just before press time on Wednesday. I
reported the alternate judge will be the
presiding judge.
Riedel first contacted both local party
chairmen concerning the vacancies by
mail on June 18. Green took over the
GOP chairmanship after Myrna McLeroy resigned in August, citing poor
health.
While Republicans have won 80
percent or more of the vote in recent
elections, that plurality has not always
translated into participation. One precinct judge originally appointed by
Green and approved by Commissioners Court submitted a resignation citing
health reasons, while another moved
out of the county.
Yes, we have the two precincts covered that Lee was referring to, Green
responded via e-mail on Tuesday in

relation to the two Republican precinct
judge vacancies.
Last week, Riedel received a complaint that one person appointed as a
Democrat election precinct judge was
ineligible because the appointee was
a relative of a candidate on the ballot.
Escobars notification to Riedel named
Susan Kittel to fill that spot, and he said
late last week the situation had been
handled prior to the publication of a
story detailing the discrepancy.
In a comment posted to The Cannons website following the publication
of an Oct. 23 story detailing the difficulty the county is having finding election judges, Escobar said, It has always
been understood that being that Rachel
Trevinos daughter is currently seeking
election as the new Gonzales County
District Clerk, Ms. Trevinos involvement as an alternate election judge this
November was not going to occur and
someone else would be selected by me
and appointed as temporary election
judge this November. This issue has

long been realized and the Democratic

Party of Gonzales County would in no
way, shape or form promote even the
slightest appearance of impropriety on
any election day.
If there has been complaints regarding this issue, they are unfounded. I was
not once contacted regarding clarity on
this issue from anyone and I feel there
was a lot of assumption going on along
with political tactics to smear the good
name of the best qualified candidate
for the District Clerk position. We as a
party know what the rules are and we
have always and will continue to follow
them.
The Cannon made several attempts
to contact Escobar by both phone and
email prior to publication of the story.
State election law prohibits anyone
within two degrees of consanguinity
of a candidate on the ballot from serving as an election judge. Riedel said the
complaint received by her office did not
question Trevinos integrity or imply
that anyone was seeking to violate the
law.

Martin Luther taught us to be always reforming

To some he is celebrated as a
hero, others despise him as a villain.
His name is Martin Luther. From
the very earliest days he excelled
in his studies. His plan was to go
into the field of law. However, God
had other plans for this courageous
young German. He began to study
theology and would in time be ordained to the priesthood. Upon
completing his university education, he began to teach and preach
in the Catholic tradition, but Luther was not at peace in his own
soul. He struggled to understand
how he could ever find acceptance
with a perfect and holy God that
demanded righteousness. Luther
exercised himself in study and severe discipline, all to no avail. His
superiors recommended a trip to
Rome, being convinced that what
he would experience there would
bring new peace and appreciation
for all that God offered through the
church. In Luthers own words, he

Church in Gonzales.
went to Rome with onions and left
with garlic. In time his own study
of the scriptures would bring him
to see that the righteousness God
required was freely given in the
gospel to all that believe. The Biblical text that led to Martins conversion was Romans 1:16-17, For I
am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ, for it is the power of God
to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also to
the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith
to faith; as it is written, the just shall
live by faith. From this Biblical
text he began to see that salvation
is not of human works, nor can
salvation be dispensed through the
church and its requirements. The

righteousness Christ required was
received as a gift through faith. In
Martins own words, he felt as if he
had been born again. He was set
free from the prison of works righteousness.
Luther continued in his duties in
the Catholic tradition, but became
increasingly dissatisfied with the
church. One of his chief concerns
was the sale of indulgences. This
practice included the viewing of
relics and the giving of money with
the promise that deceased loved
ones could be elevated in their
eventual release from purgatory if
money was contributed. One of
the chief proponents for the sale
of indulgences was Johan Tetzel.
Luther violently disagreed with
the sale of indulgences. This and
other issues resulted in Luther preparing what we now know as his
95 Theses. These were statements
revealing the errors within the
church. Luther chose October 31,

1517 to nail his statements to the
door of the church in Wittenberg,
Germany. Many have referred to
this event as marking the launch
of the Protestant Reformation. To
say that a storm fire began to burn
would be an understatement. The
Pope said, A wild boar is loose in
Gods vineyard. Luther continued
to preach and opposition to his
message continued to grow in the
Catholic Church.
On April 18, 1521 Luther was
summoned to appear before some
of the most powerful religious
leaders in the world. Luther was
asked if certain books were his
own writings, to which he answered in the affirmative. In time
Luther was plainly asked if he
would recant. In what some have
called one of the greatest moments
in history, Luther responded, Unless I am convinced by Holy Scriptures, for I can believe neither
pope nor councils alone, as it is

clear that they have erred repeatedly and contradicted themselves,
I consider myself convicted by the
testimony of Holy Scripture. My
conscience is captive to the Word
of God. Thus I cannot and will
not recant, because acting against
ones conscience is neither safe nor
sound. God help me.
The reformers knew that their
work was not complete. They did
not get everything right, nor will
we. We must always be reforming.
We must constantly call ourselves
back to Biblical patterns of belief
and worship. Our tendency is to
drift in both our churches and our
individual commitments to Christ.
Celebrate Reformation Day this
Friday October 31. Remember, be
ALWAYS REFORMING!

Tips for caring for a senior loved one at home

Decisions about providing care for
an aging loved one are seldom easy.
Various options exist in terms of elder
care, including assisted living facilities
and nursing homes. Seniors who are
self-sufficient may be able to stay in a
retirement community or active living
building. In other instances, the best
course of action is to have an elderly
relative move in with family members.
According to Dr. Nancy Snyderman,
who recently took on the role of
caregiver to her own senior parents,
44 million American adults are caring
for an older friend or family member.
MetLife estimates that nearly 10 million
adult children over age 50 now care
for an aging parent. Care is defined as
helping with feeding, bathing, dressing,
and other personal care needs, going
beyond driving a parent to appointments
or helping them with financial matters.
Taking care of a senior requires
a profound commitment and can
completely disrupt a persons life, both
at home and at work. Men and women
faced with caring for an aging parent
at home may want to employ several
strategies to make that transition go as
smoothly as possible.
Talk to the senior about your options.
Making decisions together will be best for
everyone involved. It can be challenging
to discuss mortality and whether or not
elderly parents or relatives can properly
care for themselves. Broach the subject
well in advance of making any plans so

you will have some understanding of
how the senior feels about the situation
and what would make him or her most
comfortable. Your parents may already
have a plan in place.
Establish a caregiving budget. Caring
for the elderly is expensive. MetLife says
working Americans lose an estimated $3
trillion in lifetime wages, with average
losses of $324,044 for women and
$283,716 for men, taking time to provide
care. Before a senior can be welcomed
into your home, you must first determine
which financial changes must be made
to accommodate this person. Will a
parent be contributing to a portion of

the expenses or paying rent? Is it feasible
for you to reduce hours at work to care
for this individual? Once you have the
numbers in black and white, you can
better assess your situation.
Make physical modifications. Your
home may not be equipped and safe for
an elderly resident. You may need to add
a private space for your parent or relative,
and install night lights, secured railings,
grab bars, ramps, a shower chair, and
anti-slip surfaces. You may need to build
an extension on the home or completely
renovate what you have to make the
space safe.
used to be. Many active seniors are

not ready to live sedentary lives, nor
should they be forced to do so. Plenty
of products exist that can make life
easier and more comfortable for
older adults.
Television amplifying headphones
are one product that can be a great fit
for seniors, particularly those having
difficulty hearing their televisions.
The headphones amplify the sound of
the programming without disturbing
others in the room, and many such
headphones even allow users to
mute their televisions. This feature
is perfect for someone who likes to
watch TV while a spouse is sleeping
or reading in the same room.
Other devices that can make life
easier for seniors include magnifying
products or bookholders. In addition,
gel seat cushions can take pressure

off of the spine in the car or at home.
Aim for stability. Moving and

changing routines can be especially
stressful for seniors who are used to
their own schedules and habits. Transfer
furniture and mementos from their
home into yours. Encourage seniors to
maintain a social schedule and invite
friends over. Try to help your loved one
keep his or her doctors and, if possible,
take them to shop where they have
shopped in the past. These opportunities
will make the transition to a new home
easier.
Discuss finances. Its essential to
understand your loved ones financial
situation. Make lists of his or her assets
and any insurance policies in his or
her name. Understand which health
procedures are covered and discuss
ways to finance any procedures or
medications that are not covered by your
loved ones policy. Ask if your loved
one wants you to manage his or her
finances or when he or she may feel this
is necessary. Professional help, such as an
attorney, financial planner or a geriatric
care manager, can make it easier to
understand the legalities and subtleties
of these arrangements.
Make time for yourself. Caring for
the elderly can seem like a full-time job,
and its easy to forget yourself in the
process. Make time for yourself so your
own health is not sacrificed while you
tend to your loved one.
Ideal holiday gift ideas that appeal to seniors

The holiday season is coming up,
and youre already no doubt hard at
work on the gift list.
With lifetimes of experiences and
seemingly everything they could ever
want or need in life already at their
disposal, seniors can be difficult to
shop for come the holiday season.
Many even insist that their family
members save their money and not
buy them anything for the holidays.
But if the thought of Grandma or
Grandma not having something to
open come the holidays is simply
unacceptable, consider the following
gift ideas.
Activity assistance devices
The realities of getting older often

mean the body slows down and
activities may not be as easy as they
Food
Food is always a handy gift because

it doesnt take up much room and
can be enjoyed at a recipients
leisure. Perhaps there is something
the senior in your life used to enjoy
as a child but now finds hard to come
by. A search of the Internet may
uncover that special treat. You may
be able to ship a specialty soft drink
or favorite cookie that is not available
in a nearby store. Otherwise, ask a
store manager if a particular item
thats not in stock in the store can
be a special order.
Photos
What grandparent does not

enjoy looking at his or her family
members? Computer-savvy men
and women can use photo software
to design personalized photo books,
calendars, mugs, and other photorelated gifts. Just about anything
can be emblazoned with a photo,
including tote bags and pillows.
Another idea is to collect old
photos and compile a memory book.
Scan the images so they are preserved
digitally and then print out the
images in a book that includes the
family history.
Time
Seniors who truly do not want or

need anything probably will likely
jump at the opportunity to spend
time with loved ones. Treat a friend
or family member to a meal out or
simply spend a few hours chatting
at his or her home. Sometimes the
company of a new face and good
conversation is the ideal gift.

Long-pass Cotton Pickers await Apaches

By MARK LUBE
Gonzales defender Travis Schauer comes up on La Vernia running back Justus

Parker who is trying to stiff arm Apache cornerback Aaron Hunt out of the way
last Friday in the Bears 28-7 win over the Tribe. GHS will be on the road tomorrow
as it makes an over two-hour ride to Robstown to face the pass-heavy Cotton
Pickers.(Photo by Mark Lube)
The Apaches play their

final away game of the
regular season as they venture about 120 miles south
to Robstown tomorrow at
7:30 p.m. against the Cotton Pickers.
Gonzales has not had
this long of a road trip
since last year, when they
played Bellville in the bidistrict round in Brenham.
Long road trips are just
part of it, GHS head coach
Kodi Crane said. We will
have another one next year
when we go to Rockport.
And there is the potential
for a long trip in the playoffs.
Robstown is a spread offense that will throw the
football over half of its offensive plays and likes the
vertical passes.
Their quarterback Jose
Molina is the guy that
makes their offense go. He
can throw it from here to
Cuero, Crane said. Molina has a really strong arm.
Molina can also give opposing defenses headaches
with his feet.
If he does not like what
he sees, he will tuck the
ball and run, Crane said.
The Cotton Pickers get
their offensive yards primarily from the vertical
passing game and Molinas
quarterback scrambles.
His main targets are Pete
Hernandez, Jason Mungia
and Marco Rivera.
Their favorite routes

are curl wheel, post wheel,
flag and sometimes, four
straight vertical down the
field, Crane said.
The Apache defense will
have to match one-on-one
with the Cotton Pickers
vertical-passing game.
It is not going to matter
if we are in man or zone
because once those vertical routes progress down
the field, it will be one-onon man coverage, Crane
said. We have to be able
to pressure the quarterback and get him uncomfortable.
The last three weeks,
our kids have been playing
the vertical pass good.
Running back David
Molina will help with the
run game.
Jose Molina will get the
ball on designed quarterback runs.
These guys can be scary
because Jose Molina can
scramble when things in
the passing game break
down, Crane said. We
have not played a running quarterback since we
took on Yoakum. We have
to contain him. They will
run a sweep with him and
will run inside.
He will be patient when
passing but if he sees a
running lane, he will not
mind tucking it and taking off
Robstown will come out
in an odd defense but will
run even front
They will put seven
players in the box and

stack their outside linebackers tight. They will
play cover 2 in the secondary, Crane said. If they
stack the box, that is going
to leave some good oneon-one matchups for our
receivers. Our intermediate passing game will need
to be executed well and
when they provide oneon-one matchups, we have
to take our vertical shots
downfield.
We have done a good
job on hitting Darrance
(James) on verticals; we
just have to get a couple of
other people loose.
Gonzales can continue
attacking with their normal running game by being very physical up front.
Their front is big but
not big as Pleasanton or La
Vernia. They are similar to
Rockport-Fulton.
Several times this year,
Robstown has trailed late
in games and has had to go
to the pass.
Gonzales has not faced
a team that throws lots of
verticals since the opener
against Giddings.
The Apaches are 2-1
in district currently and
a win tomorrow night
would just about sew up a
playoff spot.
We have to take care of
business this week, Crane
said. If we win, I believe
we will be in playoffs. It
will be important to win
our next two and be the
second seed.
Frosh Cantu to accompany senior Williams to regionals

By MARK LUBE
The Gonzales crosscountry team will be

sending athletes from
both end of the experience
spectrum to the Region IV
champions this Saturday
at the National Shooting
Complex in San Antonio.
Apache senior Ashton
Williams looks to continue his last season as a high
school runner for at least
another race as he will
make his fourth straight
appearance at the regional
meet.
Lady Apache freshman
Romy Cantu, who has only
been running cross county
since seventh grade, won a
berth to the regional meet
for the first of four maximum trips on a team or as
an individual.
She came in eighth place
individually with a time of
13 minutes, 18 seconds.
I feel excited to be going to regionals because
I am a freshman, Cantu
said.
Cantu is a multi-sport
athlete and during crosscountry season, competed

on the Lady Apache Junior
Varsity B volleyball team.
She has not had the
amount of practice time
most of the other runners
have had, Williams said.
But she is still as good
and has some serious talent.
She played a volleyball
match the day before the
district meet so she really
stepped up in the race.
He said at practice,
Cantu can usually keep
up with him and will even
push him to run well.
At regionals, I want to
run as fast as Ashton can
run, Cantu said.
Gonzales cross-country
coach Cully Doyle is very
optimistic about Cantu at
regionals and the rest of
her high school career.
I think Romy is a very
special runner, he said. I
noticed how special of a
runner she could be when
I saw her compete as an
eighth grader. Romy realized during the last three
weeks that she can be a

St. Paul, Sacred Heart rivalry game to determine district title

The Shiner St. PaulHallettsville Sacred Heart
rivalry game at Comanche
Stadium tomorrow will be
for more than bragging
rights.
Both teams have not lost
a district game and the
winner will be taking home
the district title.
Early in the year, they
had a tough time but they
have gotten better and we
have improved as well,
Cardinals head coach Jake
Wachsmuth said. We are
going to have to play hard
and play well.
Both teams are very
good. It is a matter of who
can play a little better.
I consider St. Paul to be
the best team in our district and the best one we
face, Indians head coach
Pat Henke said. They are
fundamentally sound in
everything they do.
Sacred Heart has got a
stout running game that
has gotten better as the season has progressed.
Our big thing on offense
is not turning the ball over,
Henke said. We have to
sustain our drives, be consistent and not make dumb
mistakes like false-start
penalties.
Sacred Heart has some
big running backs that we
have to get to them early
and not let them get going,
Wachsmuth said. On offense, we have to make sure
we execute well, have no
turnovers and sustain our

drives.
The Cardinals have been
very successfully with running the football and making some huge gains with
those plays,
We have to prevent St.
Paul from making the big
play, Henke said.
In other area action,
Shiner is at Schulenburg,
Nixon-Smiley hosts Natalia, Luling will be home
against Comfort, Flatonia
takes on Refugio at home
and Yoakum travels to
Jourdanton. Hallettsville
has a scheduled bye this
week.
Shiner at Schulenburg
Shiner hits the road
for district game No. 4 at
Schulenburg.
It is going to be a big
contestant. They can get
second place if they are
able to knock us off, Shiner head coach Steven Cerny
said. They were slow to
break in their new system
but have been playing well
lately.
The Horns run a spread
system and have a lot of
players who will get the
football.
Quarterback Josh Brown
is good at the read option
and can throw the football
well.
Our main key on defense is stop running
back Javion Lara, Cerny
said. He can hurt you re-
ally quick. We need to play

technique to shut down
Josh Brown because he is
their second-best runner.
The Horns run a split on
defense.
We have to be multiple
on offense, Cerny said.
We cannot be a one-play
offense; we need to be able
to attack everything.
A win for the Comanches will see them wrap up
second place in the district
but a loss will open up a
huge box of scenarios for
playoff seedings.
Yoakum at Jourdanton
The Bulldogs close out
the regular season with a
road trip to Jourdanton.
They are real big and
physical, Yoakum head
coach Brent Kornegay said.
The Indians are an option football team, using
the midline or the veer system. They are multiple with
I formation, double slot
and spread.
The Indians will throw
the ball some. Edward Ruiz
will catch passes and run
the football some; Diego
Huddleston is the teams
leading rusher and Jourdanton plays two quarterbacks Ray Ruiz and Ian
Hons.
We need to prevent the
big play and make stops.
Jourdanton will run three
yards and a cloud of dust,
trying to keep our offense
off the field, Kornegay
said.
Jourdantons
defense
comes out in the 4-3 system.
We just need to eliminate turnovers and do what
we do well, Kornegay said.
Yoakum more or less has
a place in the playoffs for
the third season in a row.
There are lots of scenarios but a Cuero win over
Ingleside will put us as the
second seed at worse, Kornegay said.
Refugio at Flatonia
The Flatonia Bulldogs
have already had three
very tough district games
against Weimar, Ganado
and Schulenburg.
It will not be any less
tougher for the last two
games as Flatonia hosts
Refugio and travels to
Shiner.
The Bobcats are undefeated and have had just
two games that were singledigit wins one of those
coming against Shiner.
Refugio runs the spread
with no-back formations
and lots of motion. Isaiah
Perez is the leading rusher
(102-837, 21 touchdowns);
quarterback Jaylon Mascorro had an impressive
passing game (108-of-152,
2,111 yards, 24 touchdowns, 1 interception) Tyler Castellano is the Cats
top receiver (35-773, 8
touchdowns).
The Bulldogs defense
must find a way to contain

the Refugio skilled players
and force some turnovers
while the offense must execute well, keep the ball for
long periods of time and
score as many points as
possible.
Comfort at Luling
The Luling Eagles have
their final home game of
the season as Comfort
comes to town on Senior
Night.
Comfort is real physical team and we will have
to tighten up, Eagles head
coach Colby Hensley said.
Comfort runs the SlotT on offense and running
back Dax Wright has 557
yards and three touchdowns. Garrett Pressler has
286 yards and has scored
twice. Cole Richey and
Kyle Bohlen are the other
main ball carriers.
Our defense has to tackle well. Comfort is happy
getting three or four yards
on every play. We cannot
let them fall forward and
get first downs, Hensley
said.
The Eagles offense has
been steadily improving
through district play.
We are finding our offensive group and we need
to continue. We just have to
stick with what we know,
Hensley said.
He said Senior Night will
be an exciting time for the
Luling senior players.
Nixon-Smiley at Natalia
Fresh off their district
win against Poth, NixonSmiley heads to Natalia.
Natalia has not done a
lot in district but we cannot
afford to take anyone lightly, Mustangs head coach
Carlton McKinney said.
We need to make sure
our kids focus on Natalia
and forget about last weeks
game.
Natalias Mustangs are
a spread team that uses
multiple formations. In the
past, Natalia has thrown
the football lots but is more
of a run-centered offense
these days.
Quarterback
Arturo
Contreras is their most reliable weapon, McKinney
said. Fullback John Olivo
runs very well.
They also have a couple
of good receivers in Oziel
Padilla and Jorge Saldana.
Our defense must execute
assignments wells and
align correctly to deal with
all of their formations.
Natalia has run the 50,
split and 4-3 on defense.
McKinney said he expects the 50 defense to
contain the beteen-thetackles running game his
team likes.
We have to execute well
and limit turnovers, he
said.

Apaches haunted by turnovers in first district setback

By MARK LUBE
LA VERNIA A late
first-quarter score coming
after the defense forced a
turnover gave Gonzales
an early lead but La Vernia scored 28 unanswered
points and shut down the
Apache offense in a 28-7
win Friday night at Bear
Stadium.
Apache head coach Kodi
Crane credited the Bears
with good defensive play
and making adjustments to
slow down the Tribe.
We forced them into
something they have not
done all year: they had to
go to an odd front and play
straight man in man under
halves, Crane said. They
had to put two safeties back
because they did not know
where we were going with
the football.
Gonzales lost a pair of
fumbles and threw an interception, and another
drive died as La Vernia got
a safety.
They were a factor because they bolstered La
Vernias
momentum,
Crane said.
The Apaches also had
several other drives stall as
the Bear defense clamped

down.
Gonzales did have a
drive that started inside
its own 20 and get inside
the Bear 5, only to have a
player tackled at the 1 and
fumble inside the end zone
to be recovered by La Vernia for a touchback.
We have to execute
better and finish drives,
Crane said.
By playing straight man,
La Vernia was able to put
a lot of players in the box
to attack the Gonzales run
game and was able to limit
it to just 89 yards.
We were not consistent
in running the ball but we
did do some good things,
Crane said. We have to
keep that up.
The Gonzales defense
only gave up 19 points with
La Vernia scoring on a
fumble return and registering a safety.
Our defense played
phenomenal, he said.
They played physical.
They played fast and were
aggressive.
This game saw wide receiver Aaron Hunt get
the ball on the receiver
end around while Alyas
Ramirez took another turn
at playing inside receiver.
Apache quarterback Brant Philippus has his forward progess halted by the La
Vernia defense while Dalton Kuntschik can only look on Friday in the Bears win
over Gonzales. (Photo by Mark Lube)
We saw how La Vernia was playing Darrance
(James) and cheating the
safety over the top, leaving
Alyas one-on-one. They
got confused about what
they wanted to do after
Alyas caught his slant pass,
Crane said. It gives us another offensive option. We
have really smart kids who
have high football IQ.
Both teams punted on
their respective first drives.

The Apaches had a 60yard punt fielded at the
Bear 2 and returned to the
14. The Bears gained 13
yards in three plays and later faced third and seven at
the 28. Quarterback Colby
Skeleton had a pass tipped
by a defender downfield;
the ball went straight up
and was caught by Skelton,
who gained the necessary
yards for a first down to the

35. That is where the good
news ended for La Vernia
Skelton fumbled and the
Apaches recovered at the
35.
On first down, Brant
Philippus took a vertical
shot and connected with
James for 27 yards to the 8.
On the next play, Ramirez
scored and John Bashaw
kicked the point after for a
7-0 Apaches lead with 4:46

left in the first quarter.
The Bears answered with
an eight-play, 57-yard drive
to tie the game. Ethan
Dennis ran twice for a total of 15 yards to the GHS
42, Tristan Summy had a
10-yard gain to the 32 and
then Dennis had runs of 13
and 5 yards to the 14.
A few plays later, Matthew Montgomery scored
from the 9.
Gonzales had some misfortune on the next drive
that started at its 25. Hunt
went on an end around
for 6 to the 31,Philppus
went incomplete and then
got close to the first down
on a read-option play but
had the ball stripped, and
Tristan Gardner picked it
up at the 35 and took it for
a score.
The teams traded a series of punts until La Vernia had a drive start at the
Gonzales 48. The Bears got
their paws caught in a trap
as they were whistled for
a chop block and moved
back to their own 37. Later,
a 31-yard pass from Skelton to Justus Parker gave La
Vernia new life at the GHS
21 and four plays later,
Dennis scored from the 8

Another win for Shiner as they beat Weimar

By STEWART FRAZIER
newseditor@gonzalescannon.com
The Shiner Comanches

notched a convincing district win Friday against the
Weimar Wildcats. Shiner
won the toss and elected
to defer, and their defense
kept the Wildcats from
doing anything with their
opening possession. Weimar was held to a threeand-out, and after a bad
punt and a penalty Shiner
found themselves with
good field position at the
30. After a few successful
plays, Tyler Patek scored
on a two yard run. The Comanches added a PAT to
take a 7-0 lead with 8:54 to
play in the first.
Shiners defense carried
momentum into the next
possession as they allowed
Weimar to get a drive going
but stopped it dead when
Dadrian Taylor intercepted
a pass and returned it for a
72-yard touchdown. After
another successful kick,
the score was set at Shiner
14, Weimar 0 with 3:28 remaining in the first quarter.
The Wildcats answered
with a long, sustained drive
consisting of a mix of run
and pass plays. The Comanche defense gave up
some yards, but held when

it mattered and kept Weimar from scoring a touchdown. The Wildcats had
to settle for a 29-yard field
goal from Gerardo Rodriguez to set the score at 14-3
with 8:01 left in the second
quarter.
Shiners offense came
alive on their next possession, rattling off big plays
to score quickly. They got
a 34-yard chunk on a Patek
run and capped the drive
with a 23-yard touchdown
run by Chad Neubauer.
They added an extra point
to take a 21-3 lead with
5:39 to play in the half.
Shiners special teams
showed up on the ensuing
kickoff, pinning the Wildcats deep at the 12. After a
negative play on a reverse,
the Wildcats suffered a
severe blow when Tanner Janak was sacked and
fumbled in the end zone.
Dillon Kalina recovered
the loose ball for a Shiner
touchdown, and after a
good kick they took a 28-3
lead with 4:40 left to play
before halftime.
Weimar responded well
on their next offensive possession, leaning heavily on
big runs from Jacory Gordon. They converted a long
pass to Todd Heger on 4th

and 2 to sustain the drive
and punched it in from a
yard out a few plays later on
a run by Saul Rosales. They
added a successful PAT to
set the score at 28-10 with
:38 left before intermission,
and it remained that way at
the break.
Shiners offense opened
the second half with a
strong drive kept alive by
a long pass to Justin Stovall
to the 5. Neubauer punched
it in from a yard out a few
plays later, and after a good
kick Shiner lead 35-10 with
7:10 left in the third.
Weimar had no luck on
their next offensive possession and had to punt
the ball away. The Comanches found success with a
little trickery, gaining 31
yards on a halfback pass
from Neubauer to Taylor.
Neubauer added another
touchdown to the stat sheet
a few plays later, this time
from 8 yards out. The PAT
was no good, however,
leaving the score at 41-10
with 3:14 remaining in the
quarter.
Weimars offensive woes
continued as they found
some early success on their
next possession, but failed
to capitalize and turned the
ball over on downs on the

30. Leaning heavily on the
run, the Comanche offense
drove down the field and
added to their lead with a
13-yard scamper by Blake
Michalec. The Wildcats
blocked the kick attempt,
setting the score at 47-10 at
the end of the third.
Weimars offense responded with a big play
of their own after a driving the ball for a few plays.
They scored on a 40-yard
pass from Janak to Austin
Purdy, but were intercepted
by the Comanches on their
two-point attempt, leaving
the score at 47-16.
Shiner elected to go with
their subs on the next possession, and they started
the drive out strong. They
drove down the field with
a solid running attack but Shiners Chad Neubauer kicks in the afterburner to

loose and were not nervous, Natho said.

I told them to play their game.
What Natho wants to see is a little more
hustle.
I am not completely satisfied with our
three-ball passing. I expect a kill every
time, she said. And no balls should touch
our side of the floor without effort. Girls
should be diving after those.
The Lady Cardinals took a 5-0 lead in
the opening set on the serves of Jenna
Williams. San Antonio Lutheran bounced
back with three points, on a kill from Dom
Richardson and a block from Sarah Dawson.
The Lady Cardinals then scored five
straight on a kill from Abby Irvin and the
serves of Morgan Mason.
Ahead 11-5, St. Paul went on a 7-2 run,
getting great serves from Elise Patek.
The Lady Cardinals then closed out the
set on another 7-2 run, getting a pair of
kills from Kenzie Vargo.
St. Paul took a 6-0 lead in the second
game with about four aces from Williams;
an ace from Kim Moore and a kill from

Savannah Senger and St.Paul stopped the
run with a McKenzie Kresta kill before San
Antonio Lutheran scored three straight to
take their first lead of the match, 8-7.
St. Paul scored 12 straight points, with
aces from Patek and a block from Allie
Kutac.
The Lady Mustangs then went on a 4-3
run to trail 22-12 and the Lady Cardinals
scored three straight to end the set, capping it off with a couple of aces from Victoria Kusac.
In the third set, Irvin got a pair of kills
and Patek got an ace to put St. Paul ahead
10-5 and a little later, Ashlyn Patek got an
ace and a kill and Kresta chipped in a kill
for a 16-9.
A few minutes later, Cassidy Thomas
made a kill, and the serves of Kusac and
Destiny Garza helped the Lady Cardinals
to close the deal.
St. Paul will play Conroe Covenant in
the area round at San Antonio Lutheran at
noon tomorrow.

Lady Cardinals beat San Antonio Lutheran in first round
By MARK LUBE
SHINER The St. Paul volleyball team

made relatively quick work of the San
Antonio Lutheran Lady Mustangs in the
first round of the playoffs and while head
coach Kayla Natho was very pleased with
her team, she also feels one or two things
need to be improved.
The Lady Cardinals took a 3-0(25-11,
25-12, 25-11) victory against San Antonio
Lutheran Thursday evening in the TAPPS
2A bi-district round at St. Paul High
School.
We executed very well. Our servereceive was great, she said. We had been
working all week on hitting.
San Antonio Lutheran is a great ball
club and we were not always ready for
what they had for us.
The Lady Mustangs were rather unfamiliar to St. Paul.
We were not sure about what to expect
from them but we did come out confident,

HAUNTED: Gonzales to try to rebound from
three turnovers and a safety in loss to La Vernia Bears

Continued from page B3
with the point after no good

to give the Bears a 20-7 lead
which they would go into
the locker room with.
Gonzales had turnovers
on their first two possessions in the third quarter.
After fielding the secondhalf kickoff, that drive
ended in an interception to
give the Bears the ball at the
Apache 38.
However, the Apache defense knocked down running back Justus Parker for
loss of 11 and then 4 yards
to kill the drive.
The Apaches took over at
their 18 following the punt.
James got a 10-yard catch
on third down, followed by
an 8-yard gain by Ramirez
and Jaime Tellez. Ramirez
later had a 31-yard catch to
the Bear 21. Philippus had
a couple of carries to get
GHS to the 5 and Ramirez
got to the 4, was tackled

and the ball came loose,
bounced into the end zone
and recovered by La Vernia
for a touchback.
The Bears could not
take advantage and punted
again; GHS went three and
out, and punted to the Bear
44, where Dennis had a 56yard touchdown run for a
26-7 lead with 8:17 left to
play.
La Vernia capped scoring on the next drive when
GHS had to start at its 8
because of a penalty on the
return. Philippus had a run
to the 8 but was sacked in
the end zone on the next
play for two points.
The loss was the Apaches
first setback in District 154A Division I play, having
opened with a 21-14 win
over Pleasanton Oct. 10
and pounding RockportFulton 42-14 on Oct. 17.
I think this is the first
game we have lost all year

that we had a chance to
win, Crane said. If we
keep winning, we could
have the chance to see them
again (in the playoffs).
I am proud of how hard
our kids played.
Gonzales has a road
game in Robstown this
week and hosts Beeville
Jones on Nov. 7.
Crane said the long trip
to Robstown will pose
a little challenge for the
Apaches
In closing, Crane said
GHS continues to improve
on defense and the offense
has to get whatever the defense will give them.

when Arbreyon Dora intercepted a pass and ran it
62 yards to the house. This
gave the team momentum
and the defense came up
with a stop the next drive.
Then the offense scored on
a 30-yard pass from Adrian
Reyes to Coby Rodriguez.
Later in the game, Reyes
scrambled 35 yards into
the end zone for another
touchdown. Mason Richter punched it into the end
zone for the two-point conversion to finish the drive.

night as he scored on a 78yard touchdown run on the

Grant and Defensive player
of the game was Jared Esparza. 8A team improved
their record to 7-0.
We set the tone early
and didnt let off the throttle. The next step in our
new offense is to start executing our plays in a fast

tempo. Line up and play
fast. Weve modified our
team practices so that we
can practice a fast tempo
offense and our kids are
buying into it. Its takes
discipline and focus to be
productive in a spread style
offense and we still have to
work on that. Jr. High will
work on the basics of this
offense and High School
will take it to the next level,
junior high head coach Joey
Carrizales said.

Lady Apaches fight hard in finale against Cuero

By MARK LUBE
No matter where in the

season they are or who are
they are facing, the Gonzales Lady Apaches volleyball
team always start and finish fighting hard.
Gonzales bid the 2014
volleyball season farewell
as they fell to the Lady
Gobblers 26-24, 25-19,
25-19 Tuesday night at the
GHS Special Events Center.
The girls went out fighting, Lady Apaches head
coach Sarah Kennedy said.
It was one of the hardestfought matches by the girls
this season.
The serves of Danielle
Flowers and Bailey Connell, and an ace by Molly
Barnick put Gonzales
ahead 9-2 in the first set.

Kills from Martina Stavinoha and Mary Kate
Krueger pulled Cuero to
within 12-6 and after the
Lady Apaches went ahead
13-6, Cuero made an 8-0
run, getting a Stavinoha
kill and two aces from Mia
Knetig.
The Lady Apaches later
took a 17-15 advantage
but Cuero turned on the
jets scoring four straight,
mostly on service from
Stavinoha.
Cuero was able to gain a
23-19 advantage but GHS
was not going down so quietly Lucero Luna served
the Lady Apaches to five of
the next six points.
Cuero then scored two
straight to end the first
game.
Autumn
Gamez,
Krueger and Stavinoha
worked to give the Lady

Gobblers a 4-1 advantage
in the second set. The Lady
Apaches fought back for a
9-9 game with Gretchen
Singleton contributing a
kill.
After Cuero regained the
lead, the Lady Apaches got
within 16-15 on a block
from Alex James.
Cuero went on a 9-4 run
to win the second game.
In the third set, the
Lady Gobblers took a 4-0
lead but GHS came back
with an ace from Connell.
Cuero tried pulling away
again but GHS eventually
got into the lead at 9-8, on
a kill from Amanda Dixson and an ace by Sheridan
Tate.
Later, serves from Dixson and a Claudia Franklin kill put GHS up 15-11.
Cueron then scored eight
straight points and then

went on a 6-4 run to close
out the set and the match.
This season was not
what we expected, Kennedy said. Our players
showed character by coming out and working hard
at every practice and game
despite the record.
We overcame adversity
and constantly worked on
improving our skills. This
team was truly as team: inside and out, on and off the
court.
The match was the final
for seniors Franklin ,Connell, Alex Finch, Lucero
Luna, and Flowers.
Every one of them
brought something different to the table, Kennedy
said. They all were role
models who were respected by their teammates.

Seems like we have a bumper crop of grass burrs

I think that we have a real
bumper crop of grass burrs
this year. Everyone seems
to be complaining of the
abundance of them. The air
outside feels like it just is in
suspended animation today.
I think that they said that
we were sitting between two
cold fronts so maybe that is
why.
We just have the rest of
this week for the Pumpkin
Patch out at the Monthalia
United Methodist Church.
We were last on the list to be
unloaded this year and that
guy left us with 960 pumpkins. There were pumpkins
here and pumpkins there
and pumpkins everywhere.
There are some gourds of
different sorts too. Come
out with your kids to take
a picture of the pumpkins
and buy one to take home
to carve or as they are doing now, paint the face on. I
thought that was an innovative idea. Contact number is
830 463-1845
I am starting my format all
over today so expect some
goof ups. We need to keep
these people in our prayers:
Case Martin, Joe Kotwig,
Sandis Country

Linda Denker, Rhonda Pruett, Landis Kern, Judy Wilson, Aunt Georgie Gandre,
Frances Gandre, and Betty

Sandra Allen, and Clarence
West, Rev. Wayne Mc Crary,
Larry Finch, and Willard
R. Lookabill. Please also
remember our troops and
their families.
We also have the Thanks-
giving Supper at Belmont

Community Center in the
offing on November 8th at
6pm. Bring enough to feed
a family of eight and there is
no charge.
We need extra prayers
for several people. Laddie
Studler has just finished his
last rounds of chemo and is
weak as a kitten so speak.
So we dont want an extra
puff of wind to come by or it
might topple him over right
now. We pray that Laddie
gets his strength back soon.
When Kathleen Allens
cousins were here from
California, Nancy Riffenburghs father was not doing well then. I am sorry to
report that he passed away
around October 19th and
the Riffenburghs, Duane,
Nancy, Andrew, Grace, and
Rachel all need your prayers
as they were not able to be
near when he passed away.
I have some delightful
news. We had a great Gandre Reunion on Saturday.
We had Marie Schauer,
Aunt Georgie who was accompanied by both sons,
George and Guy Gandre,
and Aunt Betty Gandre,
who lives there as does Marie, who doesnt have very

far to go. Aunt George got
to talk to great grandkids on
the facetime phone. I think
the rest of us were about as
interested in that as she was.
And best of all Ina Gay Lindemann Orum was there
looking wonderful and
caner free. It was so great
to see her jumping around,
talking and laughing. She
has the most beautiful curly
hair on her head that you
ever saw. We had delicious
BBQ brisket and tasty ham,
along with good potluck
dishes. Everyone talked and
took pictures and just had a
good ole time. It was agreed
to have it next year same
place but a little earlier, in
September.
Some more delightful
news is that Case Martin
has a baby brother named
Ridge Sedley Martin. He
weighed 7lb 7 oz and was
201/2 inches long and hes
perfect. We got play by
play action from Lindsay
Morrison Martin yesterday. She worked hard all
day having this new addition to their family. Con-
gratulations Clint and

Lindsay Martin.
Then they had the big
Lindeman Reunion at
Monthalia United Church
Parish Hall on Sunday.
I dont know how many
Lindemanns there are but
there are a lot of them. I
am glad that they all decide to come to this place
for one of their meeting
places.
Betty Fink reports that
she had a great birthday.
She went to Carolyn and
Bill Barthels house for
dinner. She was treated to
Bills special chicken fried
chicken that he made especially for her. Most of
the family was there. She
thanks everyone for their
cards and birthday wishes.
Mrs. Betty is just one of
those special people.
Its hard to believe, but
I read that Ian Maxwell

that you remember when

Shopping with your

husband is like hunting
with the game warden. So
what better time to do a
little shopping than during deer season?
While he is getting
decked out in his camo attire and spending his time
looking for the four legged
deer, his two legged dear
can come out and find a little camo attire for herself.
Camo tees with gold
bling are whats in and
the new Real Tree camo
purses are sure to be a big
hit this fall. While he is
busy in the deer stand its
the perfect time for you
to shop for a few new out-
fits for yourself. With the

holidays right around the
corner you will be prepared to look like a trophy
wife for his arm after he
hangs that trophy deer on
the wall.
Join us for a deer widows weekend party opening weekend of deer season. We will have a free
gift for everyone that
comes out, snacks, drinks,
and drawings for some
great door prizes!
Even if you dont have
anyone away hunting,
grab a friend and come on

Because the sensitive

nature of much of
their
work
often
involves
interdiction
and
apprehension
of drug dealers, The
Gonzales office of the
Department of Public
Safety has in the past
asked that photographs
of its personnel not be
published. We join the
rest of the community,
however, in giving our
whole-hearted
thanks
to them for the fine job
they do to keep our
community safe.
We want to salute
all department
personnel for all
the countless hours
spent helping &
protecting -
Thank You
May God Bless each

one of you.
