GILLETT A Gonzales man was injured in an early-morning explosion Tuesday at a saltwater well tank farm, Karnes County officials say. The victim was airlifted by Methodist Aircare to San Antonio Military Medical Center for treatment for burns to his arms and face. Authorities did not name the man, but family members identified him as Max Castillo Jr., 33. Family members announced via
Facebook later in the day Tuesday that he was recovering, and Karnes County Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva told newsmen later in the day he had spoken with Castillo and was told Hes going to be OK. According to the Karnes County Sheriff s Department, the blast occurred just outside of Gillett around 4:45 a.m. A cause remained unknown Tuesday morning. Villanueva said the Reader J.D. Pritchard submitted a drive-by photo of the site EXPLOSION, Page A9 of the explosion Tuesday afternoon. (Courtesy Photo)

Monday. The court unanimously approved a resolution to participate in the Interlocal Purchasing System and approved an interlocal agreement with TIPS, a purchasing cooperative serving public and private school districts, colleges, universities, federal, state, county and city municipalities. The purpose of TIPS is to provide substantial savings and best value for its participating members through cooperative purchasing practices. This spares their members from the timeconsuming process of accepting bids and proposals. Parsons Commercial Roofing Inc. from Waco will do the job under a $24,518 contract. The project will include everything from removal of all debris from the current roofing area to the installation of a new roof hatch and walk pad.

Praise the Lord for the rain; quilters get ready for Leesville Country Fair
It looks like a very successful year for the Come and Take It celebration. The weather was nice. It could have been a little cooler during the day for the parade but it wasnt raining. I remember one year ablue Norther blew in and it was cold and it was that biting sideways rain. The whole weekend was a total disaster.When you plan these outdoor events, you are at the mercy of Mother Nature. Now we have the LEESVILLE COUNTRY FAIR on tap for Saturday, October 12, starting at 10AM at the Methodist Church Grounds at Leesville, Texas. It will start with live entertainment by the Kerr Creek Band, with an Opening Ceremony at 11AM. There will be a Country Store with all kinds of canned items plus handmade items in it. We will have Horse and Buggy Rides for the Kids all free: Animal Exhibits, Face Painting, Ring Throw, Horse Shoes, Bean Bag Toss, and Pumpkin Decorating. Then one ride the Squiggling Wiggly Train has to be paid for but I bet it will be fun. The Happy Quilters have been busy quilting and made two quilts for the auction. Then they made one quilt for the raffle. I think that you should get some tickets for this raffle because their quilts are handmade and beautiful. There will be plenty of all kinds of food to eat. They usually have tamales, frito pie, chili and cornbread, and pies, cakes, etc. It is come rain or shine with two covered pavilions. So once you get under there you can sit and talk, eat, and think about what you are going to bid on quilt that is up for auction.The proceeds from this event go to keep the Leesville Cemetery upkeep and for a scholarship for Nixon-Smiley graduate from this area. The Thanksgiving Supper at Belmont will be November 16th. I think that it is Potluck but I will get the details for you next week.

It takes a lot of submissions to finally get published. You send packet after packet of submissions into them. Then you wait. Lu handed out a little booklet of her writings at church. Several of us, including Lu, thought that the one about Cinderella was the best one. However, that was not the one that The Upper Room picked. I was told that someone told Aunt Carol Dubose and that she exclaimed. Wow,
we know someone that is really published now. Yes, we do. I hope that Lu will have many more things published as I remember that this was a dream of hers from long ago. Goodness, the rain was wonderful, but the mosquitoes are not. They will swarm down on you and carry you away. Wear something light colored and spray on top of it and the rest of you. They especially like your ears. I dont know what I am going to do with old Twerpt. She wont do what she is told and she now demands to be taken outside to do her duties. During this process she wanders around looking like a lost duck looking at the sky, staring off into space, stumbling around in the dirt and grass sneezing, coughing, and barking. Finally I yell at her Twerpt go do your potty. She looks at me like I am some big intrusion on her thoughts, and maybe I am, then does what she is supposed to do and we can finally come back into the house. Yes, Twerpt has it made. However, some dogs and cats dont. Courtney Watson, has saved a few from their death date at the Guadalupe County Animal Shelter, but she needs to find them a home. Look at her Face Book. It is just a reprieve. Realize that a cute puppy is going to turn into a grown dog. During the process of growing up it will need more attention. It will chew on your purse, your furniture, your garden hose, and you just cant get rid of it easily when you are tired of it. Gonzales Animal Shelter has many for adoption too. Have a good week, and God Bless.

Airport draws Lulings concern

Luling
Calamon proposed a four step plan to remodel the airport. Phase 1 includes paving the roads, removing the locked gate at the entrance, replacing the tie down ropes and raising the rental rates. Phase 2 includes maintenance such as removing weeks, patching, sealing, and restriping the runway and taxiway and upgrading the wiring to meet city code. Phase 3 is all about investing in the property. Calamon proposed that all the sheet metal and doors and framing be replaced, the floor hanger, taxiways, tie down and parking areas be paved, and a new Welcome to Luling sign be placed on the front of the terminal building. Lastly Phase 4 suggests the hiring of a dedicated airport mananger, organizing activities, fuel

LULING The Carter Memorial Airport was a focus of attention during the Luling City Council Meeting Oct. 2. Citizen Jim Calamon expressed his concern for the disrepair the the airport has fallen into. Calamon said the buildings are not up to code due to exposed wires and that the sheet metal is rusted and peeling back. Also due to lack of flooring, anytime it rains the hangar floor is mud.

There are an estimated 17-plus million living veterans in the United States. Thats 17-plus million people who should never, ever again cast a vote for anyone who is even in the same political party as the petty and vindictive would-be dictator Barack Obama. It was bad enough that under the Progressive Messiah, the backlog of veterans disability claims has doubled. Veterans health-care benefits have already been trimmed. The pattern is unmistakable. Youll notice El Presidente doesnt mind expending the lives of those young folks in uniform to bomb enemies of terrorists, but once theyve done their terms of service, they become enemies of the state. The unemployment rate among younger veterans ages 20-24 is more than 20 percent. The Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security have sent out advisories and training videos warning local law enforcement that the same men and

When principle matters more than simple politics

Ted Cruz and the Tea Party have been criticized for placing principle over politics. But when is principle more important than politics? Many people claim that Cruz and the Tea Party have hurt the GOP with their hard-line stand, and that this is political suicide. But whats the alternative? Cruz 21-hour filibuster against funding ObamaCare was criticized as ridiculous because it did nothing but delay the inevitable Senate vote. It placed many Republican Senators, including Texas other Senator John Cornyn, in an uncomfortable situation of having to take a public position to support Cruz or appear to support ObamaCare. As a result, some establishment Republicans have publicly worried that the GOP may lose votes and elections over Cruz public posturing. Their concern is that Cruz filibuster gave the appearance of a radical right wing party that is unwilling to compromise or work with the opposition. Secondly, President Obama and Senate Democrats have attacked the Tea Party for pushing for the Republicans in the House and Senate to hold the line against funding ObamaCare. As the federal government shutdown, liberals and Democrats called the Tea Party terrorists and extremists, and again, some Republicans worried about their future elections and how the public will view
women who once risked their lives to defend our freedoms could well become domestic terrorists and should be watched closely. Not the 35 percent of illegal aliens with prior violent felony convictions in their home countries, not the estimated five million Muslim fanatics who have poured across our borders in the last six years, but the men and women who risked their lives fighting terrorism and tyranny! The latest atrocity took place this week. Federal thugs arrested and carted veterans away from openair national monuments, claiming that the normally-unstaffed
facilities were closed because of the government budget impasse but President Obama opened the National Mall for a rally by illegal aliens. Citizens were arrested for wanting to pay tribute to those who sacrificed all for their country, while non-citizens were given a free pass to celebrate committing crime. It gets worse. On Tuesday, we were informed that because of the shutdown, families of those killed in the line of duty fighting the terrorists which Obama gleefully sends arms to wont receive death benefits, including help burying these heroes. If you are a veteran and your blood isnt boiling, something is very, very wrong with you. While commissaries at military bases shut down and all sorts of government services closed, the Presidents favorite golf course remains open. The Spite House is manipulating the government shutdown in a manner designed to punish its
political enemies, the same way it has used the EPA and Justice Department to attack Texas and Texans for failing to fall into lockstep with progressive socialism. National Parks Service workers have been told to make life difficult for the millions of Americans around the nation who make annual pilgrimmages to celebrate our heritage. According to the Washington Times newspaper: Its a cheap way to deal with the situation, an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. Weve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. Its disgusting. All because the American electorate told its representatives in Congress: We do not want the Affordable Care Act. De-fund it. And for once, at least one chamber of Congress listened. Now we have a deadline of Oct. 17 looming. If Congress does not pass a measure to get the federal
government operational again, the United States will be in default on part of the trillions of dollars of debt it has amassed. Economic collapse is a near certainty in the event of a default one of the problems of building an economy around speculation and international banking. Societal collapse, civil war, will no doubt follow. And I have to openly wonder if thats not what Obama wants: to have a reason to use the United States military against its own citizenry, to fully and formally scrap the Constitution and declare himself President-for-Life or some other such title. If that sounds ludicrous to you, remember: that is precisely what Adolf Hitler did in Germany, helping to engineer a government crisis and then rushing heroically into power to save the nation. And Hitler was a Nobel Peace Prize nominee in 1939. Give Mr. Obama credit for chutzpah.

their Party. But the reality is quite different. Republicans have been trying to work with Obama and the liberals for 6 years, and the only results we can see is the Obama Administrations disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law. From his lack of enforcement of immigration laws, to his Administrations use of executive orders to circumvent Congressional law-making, to his ignoring of scandal after scandal (claiming they are all phony), Obama has had his way. In ObamaCare, we have a law that was passed in middle of night, not properly vetted, and having direct and immediate impact on a 6th of the entire national economy. The vote on ObamaCare was also completely along party lines, and there was never any attempt to discuss or compromise. In fact, Obamas own words during the 2010 midterm elections were, We dont mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back. Senator Cruz not only drew a line in sand against ObamaCare, but also against Obama and the liberals. The Tea Party has supported him and they are telling the GOP to hold the line. How this action is viewed depends on how someone might view the Battle of the Alamo. Should the defenders have left and lived to fight another day, or should they have stood their ground, and bought time for Sam Houston to gather troops? Politics work when two parties are equal and are willing to work together, but there is no such evidence on the part of Obama and his liberal supporters. Principle, then, is the only alternative. Conservatives, and Republicans, must stand their ground for the Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees.
Long ago, Ted Cruz earned the hatred of every elected Democrat in Washington. Now, hes on his way to doing the same with nearly every Republican. He is, to paraphrase Winston Churchills quip about Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, a bull who carries a china shop with him. He had barely begun his 21hour filibuster or, to be strictly precise, 21-hour-long speech -- when he compared his doubters to appeasers of Adolf Hitler, and he ended it roughly a day later with a prickly exchange with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The Cruz eye-rollers had plenty of occasions to roll their eyes perhaps no senator has caused so many colleagues to mutter under their breaths in his first eight months in the worlds greatest deliberative body -- but the conservative grass roots cheered. They are desperate for passion and, above all, fight, and Cruz delivered them during his long hours holding forth on C-SPAN2. We should stipulate upfront that he is not going to defund Obamacare. As a legislative strategy, the defund effort is far-fetched to the point of absurdity. The theory is that after a government shutdown, pressure becomes so intense on Democrats that Reid buckles and passes a measure defunding Obamacare, and Barack Obama signs it. Why would a little downside political risk in the current confrontation move them? Were talking about a party that spent decades trying to pass something like Obamacare and a president who was

content to lose his House majority over it. The Cruz all-nighter wasnt a legislative tactic so much as it was what 19th-century anarchists called the propaganda of the deed. It made a point. It dramatically reaffirmed Republican resolve to repealing Obamacare. It also saved Cruzs reputation among the tea-party conservatives. By spending nearly an entire day attacking Obamacare on the Senate floor, Cruz demonstrated enough gutsiness to take the sting out of his imminent defeat. In the longer run, the outcome in the short term is irrelevant to Cruzs stature as a conservative leader. No one asked whether Ronald Reagan had successfully blocked the ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty in 1977 when he ran for president in 1980. For that matter, no one asked whether Sen. Barack Obama had successfully defunded the Iraq War in 2007 when he ran for president in 2008. Obamas example is instructive: When before have we heard of a new senator capturing the imagination of his partys base, establishing an unimpeachable standard of purity on a hot-button issue absolutely essential to it and beginning to run for president shortly after arriving on the national scene? Who knows whether Cruz ultimately tries the same thing. But the scoffers are probably the same kind of people who chuckled at backbencher Newt Gingrich giving speeches to an empty House chamber on C-SPAN so many decades ago. Gingrich was playing an outside game, and so is Cruz. The disdain for him among insiders will be inversely related to the admiration for him among the much more important outsiders. They will sustain him in a crusade against Obamacare that, alas, will extend long beyond this falls fiscal fights. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. (c) 2013 by King Features Synd., Inc.
In Your View
Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures. Theodore Roosevelt Ive never been blessed with anyone ever bothering to show me the money. Unlike a multitude of folks in the sports and entertainment industry. Where the strutters strut their stuff to the tune of big bucks. For example. Consider the much-hyped fight last month tween Floyd Mayweather and Saul Canelo Alvarez. Know what Money Mayweathers earnings were for his time in the ring? By golly, according to BleacherReport.com the figures rounded out to this: $41,500,000 total, $3,458,333 per round, $1,152,778 per minute, and $19,213 per second. Know what that comes to in dollars and cents but not making a lot of sense? Its enough to take your breath away and marble the mind with the thought of a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Anyway, Mayweathers debt ceiling took a dive. He boasts a debt cellar. A deep one. And in the Texas A&M season gridiron opener what did Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Football Manziel do after scoring a TD. He motioned with both hands by rubbing his fingers to his thumbs (opposable, at that, for an athlete) in the universal sign of: Show me the money! Though hes not in the pro ranks as of yet, he apparently did bank a few dollars for inking his name for autograph brokers. Come spring when the NFL draft is conducted Im sure Manziel will be seeking major league coinage. And some organization will indeed show him the money. But who knows. One day youre a knight in shining armor and in a year or two the glitter just may fade away. What about Alex Rodriguez. The 38-year-old A-Rod is in his sixth year of a 10-year, $275 million contract with the Yankees. But recently MLB gave him a 211game suspension for his alleged role in the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug scandal. So what is he doing about it? Suing MLB. He says its a witch hunt. Couples can share in the bread-winning also. Consider the first couple of hip-hop, Jay Z and Beyonce. Estimated earnings for the duo last year, I assume theyll file jointly, is $95 million. And Beyonce her ownself grossed an aver-

We need some new Senators

Dear Editor, In a recent vote in the U.S. Senate, 25 Republican senators surrendered to Harry Reid, Barack Obama and the Socialist Party by voting to fund the most evil piece of legislation in my lifetime Obamacare. The senators of which I am the most ashamed and disappointed are longtime senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Saxby Chambliss (RGA), Tom Coborn (R-OK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), John McCain (R-AZ). These men seem to have joined the Washington crowd and forgotten why they were sent to Washington in the first place. Maybe its time these old dogs quit the
hunt. They simply do not seem to have the heart nor stamina anymore to fight Obama and his America-hating socialist. Maybe next election, we can get lucky and find another Ted Cruz, a man who truly desires liberty and freedom from governmental snooping and oppression to replace John Cornyn. I might also add that it doesnt seem to bother Cruz in the least to stand up and tell Obama and the chief justice of the Supreme Court what he thinks of them, which is not much.

Thank God, Kuempel for light

Dear Editor, Thank you, God, and Rep. Edmund Kuempel, now deceased, and your son, Rep. John Kuempel for improving the safety of a dangerous intersection where a friend of my husbands and mine died April 20, 1994. When I called Rep. Edmund 3 years ago, (we didnt know each other), and asked for a Study of this intersection, he immediately knew which one I was referring to and immediately ordered it. Three days later, he died of a heart attack in Austin. But, his son, Rep. John has helped me keep things moving for three years so that now there is a traffic signal in place and operating, and my hope is, and I am sure, his too, there will not be another loved ones life taken at this intersection. And, TXDOT, thank you for cooperating and also being part of making this intersection a safer one. Doris Liefeste Gonzales
age $2 million per night while on her Mrs. Carter Tour. Thats not chicken feed by no means. Coming in second behind the hip-hoppers was QB Tom Brady and model Gisele Bunchen as they combined to tally $80 million in income this past year. It pays to play (football) and to walk a runway (model). So the happy couple is savvy in securing financial security. I never fret to check and see if my name is ever on the Forbes list of the richest people in America. Not when Bill Gates, Microsoft founder, leads it with $72 billion. Even at the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to the tote board of tacking on income there is inflation. According to Reuters.com, the tooth fairys going rate is outstripping inflation by several orders of magnitude. Children are getting an average of $3.70 per lost tooth, a 23 percent increase from 2012 and a 42 percent increase from 2011. Gee whiz, is this training for a child to become a professional organ donor? Let me digress. With a side note. But still in the realm of Big Brother Professional Sport. On game day, Cowboys Stadium, it is reported, consumes more electricity with its air conditioning, massive scoreboard, and other power-sucking amenities than Liberia, a nation of 3.7 million people, according to The Wall Street Journal. Good grief, Gladys. Looking back, I realize Ive had a lot of worries in my life. Most of which never happened. And no one has ever shown me the money. And I concede that living on earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the sun at no expense. Down the road we go. Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons. Woody Allen
Reviewing the legislative session with Kleinschmidt

This is an edited transcription of an interview with Texas State Representative Tom Kleinschmidt heard on The News from the Camphouse on KULM 98.3 FM. Brune: When speaking with legislators its not uncommon to discuss the same topics repeatedly. From a constituents viewpoint this helps us understand the direction taken by lawmakers when dealing with problems and budgets. Its not unusual to get relatively same answers from different lawmakers but each may have their own twist. With that said, the Texas Legislature passed a $200 billion budget and there is no way to consider that a conservative budget. Kleinschmidt: There was more money to go around and we put quite a bit more in education. But when you do that it adds up running us close to the spending caps. I think the money was well spent, it needed to be spent, but no you cant call it a conservative budget. Brune: Would you describe the special sessions? Kleinschmidt: The first special session drug on because of the filibuster in the senate against the late-term abortion bill. We got that passed in the second session but that delayed a criminal bill that we re-worked on 17- year olds for capital offenses. We had to rewrite that so they could get life with parole and that was done to meet U.S. Supreme Court requirements. Then we had to address transportation which pushed us into a third special session. We had already diverted funds to counties with oil field production but then we found the need to also bring in more funding for those areas coming from the Rainy Day Fund which is collected from oil and gas production taxes. Brune: Voters will be deciding whether to use the Rainy Day Fund for the Texas Water Plan and for transportation. The question is: How is that money distributed? Who gets that money and decides where it will be spent? Lets start with transportation. Kleinschmidt: Well, there are two different proposals. The funding for the Texas Water Plan coming out of the Rainy Day Fund is a one-time deal and is set up as a lending mechanism.
Looking Down from the Saddle

Herman Brune
Herman Brune is a freelance writer, radio personality and author based in Colorado County.
The funding for transportation would go out as the money comes in to fix roads in the areas affected by oil and gas production. The money would go to Texas Department of Transportation (Tx Dot) with the only limitation being that the money could not be used for toll roads. Brune: Isnt there a provision for TxDot to turn previously paved roads back into gravel roads for easier maintenance? Kleinschmidt: I dont think thats statutory. I think thats part of Tx Dots internal mechanisms. Earlier in the session wed funded $450 million for roads in the oil and gas producing counties. Half of that money was going directly to the counties and half is going to Tx Dot. Brune: Okay, but thats part of the normal bud-
geting it doesnt include taking money from the Rainy Day Fund. Kleinschmidt: Thats correct. It would be spread out between the counties in the Eagle Ford Shale and the Permian Basin. Brune: Okay, so transportation money is spent as it comes in whether from normal budgeting or the Rainy Day Fund. What about using the Rainy Day Fund for the water plan? Kleinschmidt: Thats correct. Now, with the Texas Water Plan the $2billion that would be used from the Rainy Day Fund would be in a revolving loan situation. There is already $6 billion in bonding capabilities for water infrastructure. The $2 billion is for loaning and will return back to the state. The water plan needs are expected to cost $50-plus billion in the next 30 or 40 years. That is a huge amount of money. But with the revolving nature of the $6 billion for bonds and the revolving nature of the $2 billion in loans the funds are expected to be raised to cover these costs in that amount of time. Brune: If theres a town in need of re-working its water system it would be
able to borrow against this $2 billion? Kleinschmidt: Thats correct. And remember the state water plan is an ongoing process. There have been more than 500 projects statewide suggested to conserve and create new sources of water. So also realize many projects will require some amount of local funds. These projects arent all designed to be completely paid for by the state. Brune: In taking money from the Rainy Day Fund and spreading it across transportation and water infrastructure we should consider oversight. Of course, Tx Dot comes under Sunset Review. However, if the river authorities are capable of using these funds they do not come under Sunset Review. Would now be a good time to bring river authorities under Sunset Review? Kleinschmidt: Because the funds coming from the Rainy Day Fund for water infrastructure are in a bonding and loan situations, the state would be getting those monies back. I agree with you as far as general oversight that we havent seen the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) or the
Guadalupe Blanco River Authority (GBRA) come under Sunset Review. I tend to think that with todays capabilities for citizens to communicate and with citizens increased involvement our society has become more transparent. Brune: What passed this session that may have missed peoples radar? Kleinschmidlt: We sent Bastrop $4.5 million for infrastructure reconstruction needed after the wild fire damage. Hopefully, folks will know that the state may help if they have a similar disaster. I also passed a bill that allows college students to store firearms in their vehicles in college parking lots. Brune: Did the legislature do a better job with dedicated funds such as the Texas Parks and Wildlifes (TPWD) Fund 9? In the past this department didnt get all its funds as monies were left on the books so the books would appear balanced. Kleinschmidt: There is a big push in the legislature to make the budget more transparent. Weve made progress on that, but weve still got a ways to go.

Cuero Livestock Market Report on October 4, 2013, had 1,263 head. Had 147 cows and 16 bulls. The packer market was steady to a little lower as market conditions continue to reflect a weak demand and numbers are still high but slowing down a bit. The calf market was real steady with last weeks big up market. Gains are holding on No. 1s and again this week the strongest market is on good quality calves under 500 pounds. Any weakness is in plainer type calves carrying too much flesh.

EXPLOSION: Gonzales man reported recovering

tanks are owned by Gulf Coast Acquisitions. Villanueva said the explosion started in a tank filled with salt water and oil from the fracking process. The fire spread to 10 other tanks triggering more explosions. Another explosion happened after sheriff s deputies ar-
rived at the scene so they backed off, Villanueva said. The fire was extinguished around 9:30 a.m. Karnes County officials said the smoke posed no danger to the community and th elast fire units left the scene around 11:30 a.m..

however, astounded him. I knew a lot of my Dads family was originally from Texas, he said. I didnt know they helped BUILD it. During the course of tracing back his family tree, Priest located a distant ancestor, Richard Lee Priest (1794-1859) a Gonzales resident circa 1840 who married Mary Polly Burleson, daughter of Joseph Burleson, a vice-president of the Republic of Texas. I was completely floored, Priest said. We havent been able to locate the original deed to the property, but we think it was in the northeastern part of the county, toward Bastrop. Priest and his wife Lisa began looking for a parcel of land and stumbled across an unusual listing on, of all places, craigslist. com. It was a picture of a donkey, he laughs. The ad said, House and 45 acres of land free, if youll pay $360,000 for the donkey. I clocked on the donkey and they had pictures of the house and the land, and my wife, she likes to look at houses, so we came out and looked. In short order, the Priests had sold their home in the San Antonio area and moved to Nixon off County Road 173, where they now had 45 acres, a pond, a small riding arena and a miniature donkey with an attitude. That donkey thinks he rules it all, Priest chuckled. Ive got a couple of horses out there, he tries to dominate them, they just look at him like Are you serious? Of course, a military pension and savings wouldnt quite maintain a standard of living, so Priest said he began looking into what to do with the gem of property hed acquired. We have a few horses, but you really need to be horse people to raise horses, and you need a lot of expertise and a lot more land to raise cattle, he said. I was in military intelligence, and a lot of that was classified, so I couldnt make a living from that. But I was infantry, and I knew how to teach people to shoot. Priest mapped out plans for the Nixon
Gun Range, which is now the only publicaccess gun range in Gonzales County and the only one with 100, 200 and 300yard targets for long rifles. I talked with the sheriffs in Gonzales County and in Guadalupe County, they gave me a lot of good information, he said. The pistol range features 15 stations for 25yard targets the specification for police pistol qualification. We have paper targets, and a lot of people like paper targets to see what their spread is and when theyre zeroing their weapons, he said. But we came up with steel targets, too. Im one of those who likes to hear it when the round strikes. The pistol range also features a competitive-flag target, where two shooters can match accuracy trying to move the targets rotating flags from one side to the other. Priest said he got the idea from a gun exhibition where two female shooters one dressed as Annie Oakley, the other as Kitty from the old TV show Gunsmoke, went at it. The rifle range also has several unique features. We just added a 300-yard target, were now the only range within 150 miles with a 300-yard steel target, he said. The rifle range also features an overhead buffer, so a shooter who pulls a shot wont over-shoot the range. Weve had a lot of pro shooters come in, he said. We put a 12-inch target on the 300-yard range, they wanted to know if we could put a six-inch target there. Priest also works with a lot of shooting novices. I dont really teach a shooting class, but we go over some of the basics with them, such as proper pistol grip and sight picture, he said. Priest is also now a certified Concealed Hangun License instructor and will be offering his first course starting Oct. 11. The change in lifestyle, he said, has been a welcome one. Its a different world, its changed our lives for the better, he said. It really roots you when youre not surrounded by the falsity of a big city. It just feels right here.

Hunt for suspect in armed robbery

Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek reports on October 2, 2013, at approximately 7 AM., an armed suspected entered the West Side Grocery in Fayetteville, holding the clerk at gunpoint while money was taken from the store. The clerk was uninjured in the event and the suspect was dressed in black clothing consisting of a hoodie and mask. Evidence recovered on scene is that the suspect used an unknown caliber handgun.

On this day in 1877, Charles H. Howard shot and killed Louis Cardis in a store in El Paso. The killing was merely the latest, though hardly the last, violent episode in a long dispute known as the Salt War of San Elizario. The trouble began in 1866 when a group of prominent El Paso Republicans, including Cardis, W. W. Mills, and Albert J. Fountain, sought to acquire title to the salt deposits at the foot of Guadalupe Peak, 100 miles east of the city, and to begin charging fees of the local Mexican Americans, who had for years collected salt there free of charge. The so-called Salt Ring fell apart in 1868, but the plan persisted, and in 1872 Cardis allied himself with Howard, a transplanted Missouri lawyer and a Democrat. After Howard became district judge in 1874, however, he and Cardis had a falling-out of their own. Howard filed on the salt lakes in the name of his father-in-law and set off a riot in September 1877 by arresting two men who had threatened to go for salt. After being held for three days by a mob at San Elizario, Howard agreed to give up his claim and leave the country, but sought out and killed Cardis instead. Howard was arraigned for murder, but in early December returned to San Elizario to press trespassing charges against a caravan of salt-seekers. There he was besieged by a mob. After five days and the deaths of two men, Howard gave himself up to save the lives of his party, but he and two allies were shot by a firing squad of men from Mexico. Although more violence ensued, no one was ever arrested or brought to trial. A congressional investigation attempted to get at the facts, but no positive action was taken except the reestablishment of Fort Bliss, which had been abandoned earlier in the year.
pect made the location in a pickup truck believed to be dark colored newer model Ford crew cab pickup, with silver Nerf bars. At this time the race of the suspect is unknown. It is believed that this same suspect may be linked to another robbery in the Brenham area that occurred earlier on the same morning. The Fayette County Sheriff s Office and the Brenham Police Department continue to work this case. Any person with information in reference to this crime is urged to contact the Fayette County Sheriff s Office.

Crimestoppers help locate suspect in hit-and-run case

The Greater Gonzales County Crime Stoppers organization officially began operating only a few weeks ago and already has established itself as a valuable crime fighting tool. A recent auto-pedestrian incident that resulted in a death has been solved and the offenders arrested as a result of an anonymous tip received by Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers reduces and deters crime, provides anonymity, and reduces
the threat of retaliation in solving crimes, especially where leads have run out, where evidence is needed, or where witnesses can identify the suspects to help bring about their arrest. Stopping crime is everyones business. If you have information that can help solve a crime, call Crime Stoppers at 830-672TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers provides total anonymity to individuals reporting suspicious criminal activity. Crime Stoppers pays rewards up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of individuals involved in criminal activity.

The Ex-Texas Rangers Association unveiled a Ranger Cross adjacent to the obelisk honoring Gonzales Immortal 32 at the Gonzales Memorial Museum during ceremonies on Saturday. The Gonzales Volunteer Company of Mounted Rangers was the only force in Texas to respond to William Barrett Travis dramatic call for aid at The Alamo, riding through Mexican lines and entering the converted mission in the predawn hours of March 1, 1835. During Saturdays ceremonies, descendants of those heroes laid a wreath in honor of their forebears, several of whom took part in the original Battle of Gonzales which launched the Texas Revolution.

This years Come and Take It Celebration began with ceremonies Thursday at Texas Heroes Square honoring the Gonzales Old Eighteen the original 18 residents of Gonzales who stood against the force of 100 Mexican dragoons seeking return of the Gonzales Cannon. At top, Jay Hilscher, who stages the annual Texas Independence Relay which begins here, and son Trek began the celebration by firing the cannon, with thanks for a donation of black powder from Shield Tactical.
A large crowd of visitors, both from Texas and even some lesser states like Alaska and Michigan, were on-hand for Saturdays re-enactment drama at Pioneer Village of the events leading up to the Battle of Gonzales. The visitors had a chance to learn a good bit about pioneer life in 1830s Texas as well as often-overlooked details surrounding the start of the Texas Revolution.

Seguin Riverside Cemetery tour to fete Saints Alive

The Cannon
Page B9
SEGUIN The Riverside Cemetery in Seguin will be the location of the 2013 Saints Alive Cemetery Tour featuring historical re-enactments of Seguins fascinating citizens entombed at 201 E. Klein St., at S. River St. There will be two tours, one at 1:30 and one at 3:30 on Sunday October 27, 2013 during Pecan Fest. The ladies of the local Federated Womens Clubs have selected the tours as their fundraiser to help preserve the Federated Club Rooms (the first Club House ever built in Texas for the use of club women) located at 432 N. River St. and Ireland in Seguin. The tours are a delightful afternoon of fascinating presentations at the site of the eight cemetery memorials. The history of Seguin and the people who lived there come to life as each saint of Seguin is portrayed by a local actor or actress, some of them actually descendants of the historical figures. One such portrayal will be of Mary B. Erskine, a beloved school teacher and
principal of the first Seguin High School opened in 1892 to house all grades. Born in 1866 just east of Seguin in Belmont; Miss Mamie as she was called by her students, grew up first on the Capote Ranch then in her family home on Nolte Street. A dedicated teacher and disciplinarian, her love for her country and her state
was evident in her teachings and one of her favorite phrases was just and right. Her death in 1926 was honored throughout the town and her life of service to the children of Seguin was memorialized when the building that housed the first school was named for her. Brandi Midkiff will portray Mary Erskine.
The other saints that will be featured are Rev. Robert Carley (a priest at St. Andrews Church), Karl Dietz (early German businessman and brother to Louis who built the Doll House for the Orphan Train child), Calvin Williams (who raised Smoky Joe), Anna Maria Penn Ireland (a first lady of Texas), French
Smith (among first settlers of Seguin and Texas Ranger), Juana Bravo Sanchez (Mexican immigrant whose family became successful entrepreneurs) and Emma Seligmann Krezdorn (her father was one of the most successful Jewish businessmen and her husband was the famed local jeweler) . Tickets are $10 and all
proceeds will benefit the preservation of the Federated Clubhouse. Tickets will be available at Gift and Gourmet, Cascades, Seguin Chamber of Commerce, Hispanic Chamber, Silver Center, from members of the clubs and at the gate. For more information contact Sudy Bruns at 830-3054379.

New exhibit focuses on Texas Spanish roots

The Cannon
SAN ANTONIO Today, the Alamo and the Texas General Land Office announced the long-awaited
follow-up to the highly successful Travis Letter exhibit with an exhibition of rare, original Spanish documents dating back to the foundation of the Alamo, and the mission system in San Antonio,
in the 1700s. Alamo Origins: The Birth of Spanish Texas will open in the historic Alamo church on September 6 and run through December. The exhibit is free and open to the
public. It is considered one of the first, large-scale public exhibits at the Alamo to specifically examine the origins of the Alamo and the Spanish mission system and their roles in the creation of Texas.
Everyone remembers the Fall of the Alamo in 1836, said Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, but we want you to learn about the Rise of the Alamo that started in 1718. The story

of where the Alamo came from and who started it is equally compelling and long overdue. The Texas we all know today started here, and its time we Texans knew it. Patterson, history buff and now steward of the historic former Spanish mission, has long been an advocate for expanding the study of Texas history to include Native Americans and Tejanos, or Texans of Hispanic heritage. This exhibit is the first of two exhibits that will highlight the Hispanic contribution to Texas and the Alamo. The second installment is slated for the spring of 2014. With immigration in the forefront of public discussion, Patterson said, its important to remember that Texas began as a part of the Spanish Empire ruled from Mexico and that the first illegal immigrants had names that looked a lot more like mine. This is the whole story of the Alamo. John Wayne didnt make a movie about it, but its just as important. For years, the Alamo story focused on the Texas Revolution and its Anglo defenders. But Alamo Origins: the Spanish Birth of Texas will feature 16 original documents in Spanish with English translations provided telling the story of the missions founding, the daily lives of the Native Americans who sought protection there and the eventual secularization, or transfer of ownership, of mission property. The 16 documents that will be displayed inside the Shrine originally begun as the mission church were culled from the archival collections of the General Land Office, the Alamo and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library. The fragile Spanish maps and documents provide fascinating insight on the missions as frontier outposts vital to the Spanish Empires control of the region and defense against incursions by the French. Mission San Antonio de Valero was just one of several Spanish missions in Bxar. The area was an ideal location for settlement by the Spanish missionaries because of ample farmland, abundant waters from the San Pedro Creek, and access to acequias (irrigation ditches) and terraced fields that were already in use by the indigenous population. Once converted, the surviving Coahuiltecan Indians would receive the lands and property of each mission in a process known as secularization. This founding, converting and finally divesting of mission property was well documented by the Spanish commanders and missionaries, as revealed by the 16 documents showcased in the exhibit. When you can see the original Spanish decree that authorized Capt. Juan Valdez, the military garrison commander, to select a site for a new mission, it brings this history to life, Patterson said. Texans love their history. This exhibit adds depth and richness that most folks wont expect. Alamo Origins: The Birth of Spanish Texas, will be open to the public seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from September 6 to December 31. As always, the Shrine of Texas Liberty is open to visitors free of charge. Visitors are asked to be silent and respectful when viewing the documents and no flash photography will be allowed to protect the light-sensitive paper. For more information on the Alamo, please visit www. travisletter.org or the Official Alamo website at www.thealamo.org. Come to the Alamo and see the true story of Texas, Patterson said.

Bunsen burner gives brief scare at school

By LORRELL WRIGHT
Special to The Cannon
Gonzales High School had quite a scare Friday morning when students and staff reported a possible gas leak coming from somewhere on campus. Campus administration evacuated the school and called the gas company as well as the fire and police departments to come and investigate. Superintendent Dr. Kim Strozier said the students and staff did exceptional in what turned into a drill for the students as no gas leak was found.
Fire Chief Keith Schmidt reported the smell came from a science lab where the gas hook-up for Bunsen burners was accidently left on after students in the class had been doing a lab project. Schmidt added that all possible tests were performed to ensure the safety of the students. Classes were dismissed for the day at 2 p.m. so the fire department could complete its investigation. Strozier said she would like to thank everyone for their support and cooperation in keeping the students safe.
This year, Gonzales Junior High is honoring those with perfect attendance! As an incentive for attending school every day, all 7th and 8th grade students have the opportunity to win $15 dollars each Friday of the year. Taylor Glass, a 7th grader, won for attending school during the week of September 23-27. (Courtesy photo)
Citizenship is something that should be honored, recognized and given status. It has nothing to do with academic achievement and anyone can achieve it. The essence of good citizenship is respect - respect for authority, respect for others, respect for self, and respect for rules. It is an attitude that begins at home and is reinforced at school and applied throughout life.

It was Mark Twain who made the following sage observation: The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them. Its interesting that an herbal cold remedy and a type of sea urchin share the same name: Echinacea. Both words are derived from the Greek word echino, which means hedgehog. In a recent survey, more than one-third of respondents admitted that they had dinged the car, then lied to their spouse, saying someone else was
responsible for the damage. Presidential security was not as always as formidable as it is today. In 1913, former President Theodore Roosevelt was walking down a Milwaukee street, heading to a speech he was scheduled to give. A man named John Schrank pulled out a gun and shot toward Roosevelt, who staggered but did not fall. There was no blood evident, and Roosevelt, who was campaigning for a second term, insisted on delivering his speech. When he pulled from a coat pocket the 100 pages on which his speech was written, he saw a bullet
hole through the sheets of paper. Still determined to carry on, he gave the speech before going to the hospital, where it was discovered that the bullet had penetrated 4 inches into his body. After the perpetrator was arrested, it became evident that Shcrank was insane; he claimed that President William McKinley had revealed to him in a dream that Roosevelt was responsible for McKinleys assassination. Shrank spent the next 32 years in an insane asylum. You know that the Pacific Ocean is large, but you might not be aware of quite how large: It covers fully half the surface of the planet. *** Thought for the Day: We are not retreating -- we are advancing in another direction. -- Gen.

Its been a good season for Gonzales thus far. The Apaches have beaten four of the five teams theyve faced, including last weeks 36-0 win over San Antonio Sam Houston on Homecoming. The outcome was no indication of the contest as Gonzales scored all of their points in the first half and played their reserves heavily in the second.
I thought in the first half we executed very well, said Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock. In the second half, we played a lot of different people and it (the result) is never what you want it to be, but I was glad our entire football team got to play. Were in the same place we were in last year record-wise, but come Friday night well find out exactly where we are. Thats because on Friday the Apaches will play host to La Grange, the defend-
#16 La Grange at Gonzales
Friday, 7:30 p.m. Apache Stadium

ing District 26-3A champion. The Leopards, who are ranked 16th in this weeks Associated Press state poll, have gotten off to a perfect 4-0 start this season by outscoring their opponents 189-97.
They are good, Lock said. Theyve got speed in the backfield and theyre huge up front. Theyre highly ranked and they were picked to win the district, so were definitely the underdog. Coming into the season, La Grange was ranked head and shoulders above everybody else in our district and they deserved to have that nod. Our goal is to give them our best effort, limit our mistakes and see if we can get a victory.
The Leopards return 21 lettermen (seven starters on offense, seven on defense) from last years team and some think they have their best squad since the bunch from 2000 that won the Class 3A Division II title. They nipped Gonzales 35-34 in last years district opener. La Grange is averaging 452 yards per game on offense, 311 of which havecome from their potent running attack. APACHES, Page C2

HALLETTSVILLE Trailing the Hallettsville Sacred Heart Indianettes by several points in the third set, the Shiner St. Paul volleyball team called a timeout to talk things over. Head coach Dana Beal discussed with the team the importance of trusting your teammates in rough times. The Lady Cardinals then returned to the court and eventually won the set 2523 to sweep the Indianettes 25-14, 25-22 and 25-23 Tuesday evening in Hallettsville. We also talked about how everyone just needed to do their jobs, Beal said. Overall, we have had some rough spots the last couple of weeks. In practice and outside of volleyball, we have been working on team work.
Tonight, the girls pulled together and learned about the importance of trust and playing together. Sacred Heart coach Wanda Orsak said it just was not a good night for the Indianettes. We did not come to play. We were weak when we needed to be strong, she said. We played good in spurts but not overall. We did not hit the ball well tonight. The Indianettes continue to hold third place in the district while St. Paul is in second place behind Schertz John Paul II. We still have to play John Paul II on the road and cannot overlook our second match with Austin Veritas, Beal said. We have to take it one match at a time.

Shiner opens District 15-1ADI play at home against Kenedy on Friday. The Lions are currently 2-2 on the season, and Shiner head coach Steven Cerny said he expects Kenedy to be tough as always. Kenedy is a spreadoffense team that throws the ball a lot. Quarterback Dominic Cruz has completed 39-of-70 for 531 yards for seven touchdowns and five interceptions. He also is the leading rusher with 215 yards on 41 carries and two touchdowns. Cruzs two main receivers this year are Seferino Villarreall (9-221, three touchdowns) and Jacob Asebedo (17-215, four touchdowns). Our defense has to put lots of pressure on Cruz, Cerny said. The Lions are multiple on defense including 3-3 and 4-4, and move around constantly. We will need to pick up and block their stunts, Cerny said. Leading tacklers on the defense are Tony Aleman and Devyn Schultze, each with 27 total tackles. We got a big win at Weimar (last week), but got some minor injuries that we hope we will be recovered from on Friday, Cerny said. Luling at George West The Eagles travel to George West for their third district game of the season against the team that beat them last year to take first place in their league. Our guys are excited about playing George West. Practices have been great, Luling head coach Colby Hensley said. The boys are very motivated this week. The Longhorns return just six lettermen and five
starters from last years 8-3 (6-0) team. It seems every week they improve, Hensley said. George West is a very physical team, especially up front. George West runs the Slot-T on the offensive side of the football. Avery Pawelek leads the Horns in rushing with 266 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns. Fullback Matt Martinez has 147 yards on 27 carries. Our defense will have to win the line of scrimmage and tackle well, he said. First down defense will be important when playing a team that will get three yards and like it. George West will line up in the 4-2 on defense, and will run Cover 3 and man in the secondary. Hensley said that multiple players will share ballcarrying duties for Luling due to an injury to running back Brenden Cubit that will keep him out for the rest of the regular season. We need to put our athletes into space and make George West run to the ball, he said. Nixon-Smiley at Stockdale Nixon-Smiley will continue its path to the playoffs and this week rival Stockdale is the next stop. This going to be a big game for both teams, Mustangs head coach Carlton McKinney said. Stockdales offense is a spread team that occasionally goes under center and is a running team. Matt Valdez leads the Brahmas rushing attack as he has carried the football 137 times for 1,197 yards and 14 touchdowns. Valdez will carry the football about 70 percent of the time, McKinney said. Our key on defense is to contain him. Stockdale will come out in a split formation on dePREVIEWS, Page C4

APACHES: La LADY CARDS: Rally for district win Grange running game formidable
Continued from page C1 Continued from page C1
Running back Rodney Filmore is third in the district in rushing, coming in with 587 yards and seven touchdowns. His backfield mate Bralon Hutchinson (251 yards, 4TD) is a dangerous runner in his own right, setting a school record for longest touchdown run with an 89-yard romp in La Granges 49-23 win over Marble Falls. Quarterback Dillon Davis is having a good season, having completed 28 of his 49 passes for 557 yards and nine touchdowns. His top target is converted linebacker-turned TE Wes Scott, who leads the team with 301 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. The best player on La Granges entire team is OL Zachary Ledwik. The 6-5, 290 pound senior considered over 15 offers from Division One colleges including Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Texas, before deciding to commit to Texas A&M last summer. Ledwik is just a bulldozer, said Lock. Their quarterback is pretty good, hes not bad and their running backs have a lot of talent. On film, they look like the best team well play this year by far. The Leopards like to operate out of a variety of offensive formations including both two-back and one-back sets, utilizing a lot of motion in the process.
Theyre predictable by formation, but you still have to stop whats coming, Lock said. Theyre so good up front that it makes everything else easier. Skillwise, they are very capable. Theyre legit, theyre the real deal. Experience on defense has yielded good results for La Grange, who will run plays mostly out of a 3-4. The unit has been steady and consistent all year led by the play of DL Alex Glaiser, LB Garrison Mueller and DB Ty Beseda. Theyre very active up front with their defensive linemen, said Lock. Their linebackers are good tacklers and they have some speed in the secondary. Theyre a lot better offensively than they are defensively, but when you score as many points a game as they do it puts your defense in a good position. The Apaches had a couple of players get dinged up last week against Sam Houston. Neither D.J. Gonzales (wrist) nor Joe Ryan Carrizales (ankle) suited up for the second half, but Lock said both players will be in action on Friday. Theyre both going to play, he said. Theyre not going to be 100 percent, but theyre tough kids. This is a big game and they want to be in it. If we can win this first district game, then well have a leg up going forward because La Grange is going to beat a lot of teams.
block and an ace from Jacy Pawelek. Sacred Heart got a block from Kristen Popp to help reduce the deficit to 6-5. The Lady Cardinals got plays from Samantha Siegel and Abby Irvin to go on top 13-7. The Indianettes then managed five straight points, getting an ace from Jami Shimek in the process. The serving of Kymberlie Malatek and a kill from
Elise Patek put St. Paul on a 12-2 run to win the first set. In the second set, Sacred Heart overcame some early deficits to tie the game at 8-8, getting kills from Shimek and Kaylin Dworsky and later took a 13-11 lead. The Lady Cardinals came back with a 14-13 advantage, and plays from Sacred Hearts Emily Harper, Popp and Dworksy gave the home team an 18-16 margin.
Irvin, Malatek and Pawelek all made plays as St. Paul scored nine of the next 13 points for the win. Early in the third game, Rachel Saulnier got an ace with Harper and Madison Etzler contributing some plays for a 7-2 lead. St. Paul was able to trim Sacred Hearts lead down to 11-9 before the Indianettes scored six of the next eight and looked to be closing in on victory. St. Paul later trailed 22-
16 but was able to go on a 9-1 run to finish the set and the match. For Sacred Heart, Emily Harper had five kills, Dworsky had five kills, Orsak had nine digs, while Saulnier had nine assists and five aces. St. Paul won the freshman match 24-26, 25-16 and 25-21. The Lady Cardinals won the junior varsity match in two sets 25-20 and 25-16.

Hurricanes get blown away by Gonzales, 36-0

GONZALES It only took one half of football for the Gonzales Apaches to establish their dominance over San Antonio Sam Houston Friday night at Apache Field. The Apaches (4-1) secured their third straight win over the Hurricanes (1-5) in as many years. Even though it wasnt the whitewashing it was a year ago, Gonzales was never in any danger of losing the game. At times, we looked pretty sharp, said Lock. I thought our kids ran to the ball well. We missed some tackles on their elusive quarterback, but theyve got the kind of athletes that will make you miss. Our kids played harder than the last time we were on this field, so I was proud of the effort. All of the Apaches points were scored in the first half, so they spent most of the third quarter trying to work on their under-utilized passing attack. They ended up throwing two interceptions, one each by starter Alyas Ramirez and backup Grayson Meredith. We want to work on the passing game all the time, Lock said. Its not our forte, but its something that were definitely going to have to be able to do. The passing game wasnt a total disaster by any stretch of the imagination, but it did have mixed results. Ramirez completed five of his nine attempts for 58 yards and one touchdown, a 13-yard leaping grab by Darrance James. James made a great catch on that play, said Lock. Hes a good receiver and he does a good job for us, and Alyas throws the ball pretty well. It (the passing game) is not quite what I want it to be, but I was glad the defense played well. Unfortunately the injury bug showed up the Apaches locker room as Joe Ryan Carrizales and D.J. Gonzales did not suit up for the second half. Joe had an ankle so we held him out and D.J. had a wrist so we still need to look at that, said Lock. Well find out more about it next week, but knowing D.J. hes going to play through everything as long as he can walk. Hes a tough kid. Gonzales kicked off to Sam Houston to start the game, but they got the ball on the second play when D.J. Gonzales tipped a Raymonte Prime pass and it was intercepted by Blake Cox and returned to the

The Apaches immediately embarked on an eightplay drive that culminated in a two-yard plunge by D.J. Gonzales. Brant Philippus ran in the two-point conversion. Following a Hurricane three and out, Gonzales got back on the board with James athletic scoring catch on their drives fifth play. The conversion run failed and Gonzales led 14-0 with 3:19 left in the first frame. Sam Houston actually managed to get into Apache territory on their ensuing drive. Facing a second and nine at the Gonzales 41, the Hurricanes were turned away when defensive end Jordan Johnson intercepted Jvoni Badie-Jones and ran the ball all the way out to the Sam Houston 35. Five plays later, James took a jet sweep going to his right and managed to get to the pylon for a nineyard score. D.J. Gonzales garnered the two-point conversion to give the Apaches a 22-0 advantage very early in the second quarter. The ensuing kickoff was a squib that the Hurricanes fielded at their own 43. Kenneth Hernandez sacked Prime for a sixyard loss on second down and J.T. Miller forced an incompletion on the next play. The fourth down punt went a respectable 36 yards but Ramirez returned it to midfield. A completion to James was caught at the Sam Houston 40 and he made a move to get the ball down to the Hurricane 34. Following a keeper by Ramirez for a modest gain, Jaime Tellez ripped off a weaving 26-yard run for a touchdown. Jose Contreras made the extra point kick. The Apaches fielded a kickoff to start the second half, but they gave away possession when Ramirez threw a pass too high for GONZALES, Page C4

NIXON For the most part, the Dilley Wolves had the game under control at halftime, but did not win the game until about 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter as Leo Garcia
picked off a Nick Pea pass at around the Mustang 31. The Wolves (3-2) had managed a semi-comfortable lead, 21-0, at halftime of Nixon-Smileys 2013 Homecoming, but had to absorb a couple of turnovers and turnover on downs to withstand a Nix-
on-Smiley rally as Dilley survived 21-14 Friday night at Mustang Stadium. Kids just played (harder) in the second half, Nixon-Smiley head coach Carlton McKinney said. The first half, we did not show up. That was not the MUSTANGS, Page C4

fense. They will make adjustments to deal with our offense. They have a quality line and good linebackers, McKinney said. Our offense will have to play well to have a shot at success. Dylan Dunn is the leading tackler for Stockdale with 60 total tackles on the season. Smithville at Yoakum Yoakum comes off a bye week to open district as they host the Smithville Tigers. The game also serves as Yoakums Homecoming since the original game on Sept. 20 against Edna was cancelled because of inclement weather. The Tigers are 0-4 on the season but have a very solid quarterback in Khalil McCathern. McCathern is the real deal, Yoakum head coach Brent Kornegay said. Their offense is run through him. He said the Tigers throw the football over 60 percent of the time. Our defense will have to pay attention to what McCathern is doing, Kornegay said. Smithvilles defense ran
a 4-3 early in the season and has switched to the 50 look. Nose guard Chris Lewis is a very aggressive player, middle linebacker Quentin Green is good and McCarthern excels at the safety position, where he is being recruited to play college ball, Kornegay said. Two weeks ago, in the Dogs 63-41 win over Rice, Yoakum had eight players carry the ball and four players caught passes. We need to continue being consistent on offense and need to use this as an opportunity to get better, he said. We need to start district with a win and not dig ourselves into a hole. St. Paul at John Paul II Shiner St. Paul will play at Schertz John Paul II with another chance to get the first win of the season. We had a great first two practices this week and I feel we can beat them if we play well, Cardinals head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. The Guardians finished 2-7 last year and have already bested that with a 4-1 mark. John Paul II runs a flexbone-type offense in which they bring the wingbacks in motion, and run pitches and dives. Running
back Michael McCabe is the chief runner for John Paul II. We just have to learn what they do exactly and play better, Wachsmuth said. On defense, the Guardians go with an eight-man front. They are better on defense this year, he said. We need to execute and eliminate unforced mistakes because John Paul IIs defense will make plays. Holland at Flatonia The Flatonia Bulldogs host their second straight home contest as they play Holland in the 14-1AD1 opener. This will be a tough game for us, Flatonia head coach Chris Freytag said. They are on a five-game win streak and their offensive line is huge. They average around 280 and that may be the biggest one I have seen in my coaching career. With such a sizeable line, the Hornets will run the football about eight out of 10 times. Quarterback Seth Spinn is Hollands leading rusher with 469 yards on 49 attempts and eight touchdowns. Their offensive line will
block down and mash you down, and Spinn will hide behind them and find a crease, Freytag said. Our defense will need to read their keys, finish off tackles and force them into second or third-and-long to force them to pass. We also need to get two or three turnovers. Holland lines up in multiple formations on defense including 3-4, 50 and fourman fronts. What we saw on film, we probably will not see in the game, Freytag said. They are all-around solid at every position on their defense. We need to control the football and complete passes when we throw them like we have been doing. We need to wear those big boys out. Hallettsville at Palacios The Brahmas get started with district with a road visit to the coast to face the Sharks, who currently are 1-4. On offense, the Sharks like to run out of the spread offense, using screen passes and inside/outside zone plays, Hallettsville head coach Tommy Psencik said. Running backs Seth and Chris Garcia play a pivotal role in the run game behind
MUSTANGS: Comeback bid on Dilley falls short, take first league loss
the blocking of offensive linemen Jordan Sanchez and Anthony Holbrook. Cameron Fides and Joseph Rodriguez have split time at quarterback this year. Our defense has to consistently get to where the ball is with numbers, using our team speed, Psencik said. The Sharks prefer to run three-man fronts on defense. Our offense needs to keep the football for as much as possible and score points on those possessions, Psencik said. A win to start district will be important for us. St. Joseph at Sacred Heart Sacred Heart will play the speediest team in the district come Saturday afternoon in Bryan St. Joseph in the district opener for the Indians. They have speed at all of the skill positions, Indians head coach Pat Henke said. They return eight starters on both sides of the ball. St. Joseph has a ton of experience. Henke said the Eagles run a spread offense with an effective inside running game and can throw the ball well. Our defense has to know its assignments, use good techniques and make a good tackle instead of a big tackle, he said. We have to keep them on the inside because if they get on the out-
side, they can outrun us. Nicky Damon will be both a running and receiving threat for St. Joseph. The Eagles have speed at linebacker and have a line that can make deep advances into an opponents backfield. Key players are defensive back Jamarkus Amos and linebacker Matthew Kraus. Sacred Hearts best defense will be its offense keeping the ball and scoring touchdowns on those drives. Henke said in their last game, they had the ball on the opening possession for over seven minutes and finished the drive with points. Giddings at Cuero Cuero hosts the Giddings Buffaloes in the Gobblers opening district contest. The Buffaloes are currently 2-2 on the year. Giddings has a balanced offense with a slight lean towards the run with 612 yards rushing as a team. Josh Mack is the leading rusher with 140 yards on 30 carries and one touchdown. Quarterback Kyle Jones has completed 31-of-75 passes for 482 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Deon Blue has two receiving touchdowns on 19 catches for 222 yards. De Acosta-Everett leads the Buffaloes on defense with 35 tackles.
team that has been performing the last four weeks. I do not know who that was. That is how we lost the ball game. We gave up three scores on big plays and on offense, we only had a couple of first downs. We got our offense going in the second half, we just ran out of time. The Mustangs (2-3), with virtually no breaks in the first half, started the second half similarly as Pea was intercepted inside Wolves territory after runs by Jared Van Auken and Kevin Martinez moved Nixon-Smiley from its 40 inside the Dilley 34. Then Mustangs got a break following a defensive stand as Sam Moore returned a punt 27 yards to the Dilley 24. Four straight runs by Van Auken, including a four-yard gain on fourth down, got Nixon-Smiley down to the 11 and a few plays later, Pea tossed a six-yard touchdown pass to Tristan Newman on fourth down and
Eduardo Tovar tacked on the extra point. On the next drive, Dilley coughed up the football and Nixon-Smiley had great field position at the Wolves 32. Martinez ripped off a 17-yard gain down to the 15 and a personal foul moved the ball all the way to the 8. On the next play, both teams committed unsportsmanlike-conduct fouls and the ball was mistakenly placed at the 12. Martinez gained one yard on a toss and Pea hit Garrett Earlywine to the 5 to set up fourth down. Peas pass was incomplete but Dilley was flagged for defensive holding. A few plays later, Pea threw incomplete on fourth down to give the ball back to Dilley. The drive resulted in another turnover for the visitors as Newman got an interception and got to the 19. Martinez ran NixonSmiley to the 5 and two plays later, Pea hit Earlywine for the score to help bring the Stangs to within 21-14 with 9:29 left to play. The Wolves next drive
started near midfield and got all the way to the Nixon-Smiley 19. A Garcia pass was broken up in the end zone by Newman on fourth down. But NixonSmiley went three plays and found itself at fourth down from its 15. Pea dropped back and tossed a bomb to a mostly-open Newman, who looked to have the pass but did not have complete control. That would have been huge because we would have gotten the ball to the middle of the field and then into position to score. But it is not anyones fault, McKinney said. That is just how the play happened. The Wolves fared no better as they had a 5-yard pass from Garcia to Fabian Garza on a fourth-and-8 play at the Nixon-Smiley 13. Garcia later got the game-clinching interception a few plays later. I have faith in these kids, McKinney said about Nixon-Smiley trying to get back into the game with some fourth-down attempts. We had to take our shots and they did not
work out for us tonight. As long as we learn from it, we will be fine. We cannot put ourselves in the hole we did tonight in the rest of district. We have to play from start to finish. Dilley opened the game with a 60-yard drive in 12 plays. Running back O.J. Perez had a 14-yard rush while Sabby Torres had catches for 20 and 10 yards. Joe Garza capped the drive with a six-yard run with the extra point no good for a Dilley 6-0 lead at 9:10 to go in the first. Later on, Nixon-Smiley missed a fourth-down conversion at the Wolves 40 as Newman attempted a halfback pass. The Wolves capped another 60-yard march as Garcia tossed an 11-yard touchdown pass to Torres and the two-point conversion was good for a 14-0 Wolves lead. Nixon-Smiley punted on its next possession and Dilley used the return to set up shop at the Nixon-Smiley 19, driving four plays for the score as Garcia hit Torres for an 11-yard pass for a 21-0 lead.
APACHES: Got extensive playing time for reserves

Derek Hunt and it was snagged by Sam Houstons Donald Jackson to give the Hurricanes their best field position of the game at the Apache 29. Determined not to give up a score, the Gonzales defense began to push the Hurricanes out of scoring range. Johnson and Zach Perez-Clack combined to drop running back Steven Garcia for a two-yard loss on first down and then Tellez and Damien Airhart stuffed Devin Harris for no gain. Harris was then dropped for a loss by James and Blake Cox on a toss play before Prime was sacked by Trent Schauer on fourth down. Three plays into their drive, Gonzales suffered misfortune when Ramirez
was sacked by Darius Davis for a 12-yard loss. Ernan Hernandez came on to punt for the Apaches and his offering got a good bounce and rolled all the way down to the Hurricane 31. Airhart threw down Badie-Jones for an 11-yard loss on first down before freshman Wade Miller sacked the quarterback for a three-yard loss. Johnson pressured Badie-Jones into a bad throw on third down and the fourth down punt only traveled 22 yards. Neither team could find their way to an advantage for the remainder of the game, but Gonzales saw their next best scoring threat thwarted when Meredith had his pass for Cameron Horton picked off by Taveon Jones at the Hurricane 12 late in the fourth quarter.

NIXON The Lady Mustangs had a mountain of a task Friday afternoon as they hosted the thirdranked Schulenburg Lady Shorthorns, but decided they were going to be proud of how they played. The Lady Horns (5-0 in district) held off NixonSmiley 3-0 (25-12, 25-7, 2519) but had to earn nearly every point in the match. I told them to play this match with confidence, Nixon-Smiley head coach Kim Payne said. We were able to do that. Payne said some changes weeks to carry the ball, gaining 35 yards on the ground in eight carries. The Gonzales Junior High Apaches went 3-0-1 in their games against Cuero last Thursday night at Apache Field. The 7th Grade B won 14-6, the 7th Grade A tied From coaches reports 20-20, the 8th Grade B won 14-12 and the 8th Grade A The Yoakum Lady Bulldogs fell in a district match to La won 8-6.
on defense helped the Lady Mustangs (1-4 in district) stay in the match. Those changes caused our confidence to rise and we had players step up, she said. Another positive we take is that we know we can play with a highly-ranked team. Schulenburg opened the first set with the first couple of points and Nixon-Smiley came back, going up 5-4 on kills from Miranda Carrillo and Savannah Martinez. Several aces from Shannon Mikesley helped put the Lady Horns ahead 15-8 and it was a 10-4 run for Schulenburg for the win in the first game.
Brooke Hester got an early block for Nixon-Smiley in the second set for a 2-0 lead and the Lady Horns then scored 15 of the next 17 points. Then it was 10-2 run for Schulenburg for the win in the second game. The Lady Horns raced out to a 7-2 lead in the third set and Nixon-Smiley went on a 5-2 run, getting an ace from Hester. Schulenburg went ahead 20-11 on plays from Kelsie Fietsam, Sarah Walker, Tanner Guentert and Nay Guentert. The Lady Stangs finished strong as they scored eight of the last 13 points.
Yoakum loses to La Grange, bounces back to beat Gonzales

Grange on Friday, 25-18, 2522 and 28-26. Callie Witte had 24 assists, Latrice Brown had 13 kills and 13 blocks, Shelby Pesek had nine digs and seven points. The Lady Dogs defeated Gonzales 3-0 (25-11, 25-12, 25-16) on Tuesday. Brown had 12 kills, three blocks and three aces; Witte had 20 assists and nine digs; Jaccari Hights had three blocks and Faith Hagan finished with 14 points. For the Lady Apaches, Kendall Fougerat had 14 kills, Madison Musick had 10 digs, Cassidy La Fleur had nine assists and Briana Miller had two block assists. This match, we were able to get back into our groove and we played very well as a team. Overall, there was no one thing that hurt us or that we struggled with. Gonzales head coach Sarah Moreno said. Yoakum played a solid three games and we played with them, but in the end,Yoakum was the better team tonight. We are all looking and moving forward with the second round of district. The girls are fired up and ready to play through the rest of the season with everything they have. Yoakum won the freshman match 11-25, 25-17 and 25-17 and swept Gonzales in the junior varsity contest, 25-16 and 25-5. Cuero swept Gonzales on Friday, 25-10, 25-18 and 25-8. Danyelle Glass had five kills, Musick had 14 digs and La Fleur had nine assists. Tonight was a difficult match from the beginning simply because the girls had to make accommodations for missing teammates, said Moreno. Molly Barnick sat out due to an ankle injury from our Oct. 1 game and Briana Miller was unable to attend due to being a possible Homecoming queen. Our downfall in this game, unfortunately, was effort on our part. There were great coverage moments when the team moved as a whole and surrounded the hitter, but in the end, it wasnt enough. Cuero played a solid three games and no doubt outplayed us tonight. We will find out more on Mollys ankle Monday. I am still looking up and hoping for the best. We train hard and it will eventually pay off. The Sacred Heart Indianettes volleyball team tallied another district win with a 3-1 (26-28, 25-16, 25-10, 2514) win over Austin Waldorf School on Thursday, bumping their record to 4-2 (5-17 overall).

We struggled the first two sets, came back with two wins, but couldnt pull out that fifth set. If we would have played the first two games with the intensity and consistency we played the last three, it would have been a completely different ball game, Hallettsville coach Megan Klimitchek said. We finally experienced the true feeling of playing as a team those last three sets. They played off each other, picked each other up, and fought until the end. Im very proud of these ladies.

Lines on this map indicate the stretch of the Guadalupe River being considered for a regulations change by TPWD. (Courtesy photo) Cannon News Services ATHENS Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will hold a public meeting to take comments on changes being considered to the trout fishing regulations for the Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake Dam. The public meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 22, 2013, at 7 p.m. at the McKenna Events Center, Meeting Room A; 801 West San Antonio Street, New Braunfels. Current regulations for rainbow trout and brown trout on the Guadalupe River from the Canyon Lake Dam to the easternmost bridge crossing on FM 306 consist of a five-fish daily bag limit, and trout of any size may be harvested. For the section of the river downstream of the F.M. 306 bridge crossing to the second bridge crossing on the River Road, only trout 18 inches and longer may be harvested, and anglers are allowed to harvest one trout per day. Harvest is further restricted in this area to trout caught on artificial lures. Downstream of the second bridge crossing on the River Road, harvest regulations for trout revert back to the five-fish daily bag limit with trout of any size legal for harvest. TPWD is considering changing the regulations in the section of the Guadalupe River extending upstream from the easternmost F.M. 306 bridge crossing to a point 800 yards below the Canyon Lake dam. Harvest regulations would be changed to a 12- to 18-inch slot length limit (only trout smaller than 12 inches or 18 inches and longer may be harvested). Anglers would be allowed to harvest five trout, but only one trout 18 inches or longer could be harvested per day. Any trout harvested would have to be caught on artificial lures. The goal of the changes being considered is to increase survival of trout in this section of the river where water temperatures are most favorable during the summer months while maintaining the opportunity for harvest of trout smaller than 12 inches. The popular trout fishing area directly below the dam is not included in the section of river being considered for changes in harvest regulations and would not be affected by this change. Regulations there would remain at a five-fish daily bag limit with no minimum length limit. Expected benefits from the changes being considered are: 1) increased survival and angler catch of trout in the reach of the river that is most likely to have water temperatures favorable for trout to survive the summer months; and 2) maintain the opportunity for harvest of trout under 12 inches in the proposed regulations zone. For those unable to attend the public meeting, comments can be directed to Marcos De Jesus, Texas Parks and Wildlife, 505 Staples Road, San Marcos, TX 78666; marcos. dejesus@tpwd.texas.gov Rainbow trout have been stocked since 1966 in the Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake by TPWD and others through state/federal/private partnerships. Because of coldwater releases from Canyon Lake, water temperature remains suitable (below 70OF) for year-round survival of rainbow trout in most years. These unique habitat conditions laid the foundation for the creation of a popular and economically important trout fishery in this river. TPWD desires to further enhance this unique resource and provide quality fishing experiences for all anglers.
