Cannon April 10 2014

Dynamic Industries of-ficially opened for business in grand style with bar-beque, beer, and music. A ribbon-cutting ceremony kicked off the festivities at their newest location at 225 Commerce Court.

Matt Oubre, Executive V.P. and C.O.O. said, “We are looking to expand as we gain clients in the area.” Of-

fice Manager Matt Hebert said they currently have eight employees.

They will be looking for skilled electricians, techni-cians, and programmers. They hope to start training programs at Victoria Col-lege.

Dynamic Industries is based in Louisiana, and

Gonzales County Under-ground Water Conserva-tion District directors on Tuesday began preparing for a rewrite of the board’s rules, but action on a couple of saltwater-disposal well permits occupied much of the discussion.

The board recently re-vised its management plan and as such will re-write its rules to update them to in-clude new responsibilities. The board will seek written comments before making a first draft of those rules, then will hold a public hearing this summer before making final revisions.

Action delayed from the board’s last meeting drew some of the most interest-ing commentary of the meeting, however.

Directors had been ready to approve dropping the

district’s contesting of a salt-water-disposal well permit at their last meeting when County Tax Assessor-Col-lector Crystal Cedillo told them the property where the well would be located was the subject of legal ac-tion by several taxing enti-ties, including GCUWCD, over non-payment of taxes from a six-year period.

While the district does not issue permits for saltwa-ter-disposal wells (SWD), it can file objections with the Texas Railroad Commis-sion if it believes the wells would negatively affect po-table water formations.

The owner of the proper-ty is an estate, and Director Barry Miller told the board he had been informed that the executor of that estate, Charles English, had no

“Found Footage 3D”, a found-footage horror film about the making of a found-footage horror film, begins filming in Gonzales around May 26.

Producer Charles Mul-ford said, “This is the first post-modern found foot-age horror film. We’ve been developing it for two years.

“Found Footage 3D” is in-spired by “The Blair Witch Project” and “Scream”. Like “Scream”, the characters are familiar with the horror genre and know all rules and conventions therein.”

The storyline brief from IMDb.com describes it as, “A group of filmmakers set out to make the first 3D found footage horror film, but find themselves IN the first 3D found footage hor-ror film when the evil entity from the film escapes into their behind-the-scenes footage.”

Another of the pro-ducers, Kim Henkel, was co-creator of “The Texas

Chainsaw Massacre,” and many other horror films. Writer/Director Steven DeGennaro also wrote and directed two shorts films, “First Date” and “Star For-

mation”. See the latest develop-

ments on their Facebook page by searching “Found Footage 3D” on Facebook.

Hey, Baby!

Stayton Russell LesterDerrick and Janelle Lester are proud to announce the birth of their baby boy, Stayton Russell, born February 17, 2014 at 10:36 a.m. He weighed 6 lb., 12 oz. and measured 20 in. long. Welcoming Stayton are big sisters, Dixie Rea and Ellie Mae, grandparents, Ronnie and Mary Rohde of New Berlin and Ricky and Kelly Lester of Gonzales. Great grandparents are Betty and the late Wilburn Schmidt of Schertz/Cibolo, Fred and Sally Rohde of New Berlin, Pal and Bethel Lester and the late Keith and Carolyn Miller of Gonzales. Also welcoming him are aunts, uncles and cousins, Brooklyn, Rhett, Addison, Remington, Kennedy, Brady, Rex, Reese, Sadie and Piper.

A core competency of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is issuing false assurances.

An administration about-face has left the Cabinet official looking like the Baghdad Bob of American health insurance. When Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, asked her at a hearing two weeks ago whether the administration would extend the Obamacare enrollment pe-riod beyond March 31, she responded with a crisp and direct: “No, sir.”

To the uninitiated, that sounded like an un-mistakable denial of any intention to delay the enrollment period. The uninitiated were sadly misled.

The secretary subsequently referred in her testimony to a delayed enrollment period for people who were unable to enroll “through no fault of their own.” It turns out that the administration’s definition of these frustrated would-be enrollees includes ... well, everyone. The Washington Post reports that the admin-istration will rely on the “honor system” to de-

termine if people enrolling past the deadline are hardship cases,

A few weeks ago, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which runs HealthCare.gov, told reporters “we don’t actually have the statutory authority to extend the open enrollment period in 2014.”

As if that would be an obstacle. The enroll-ment extension is in the same spirit as the administration’s partial enactment in 2012 of the DREAM Act through executive fiat -- after

President Barack Obama said in 2011 that he didn’t have the authority for such a change.

It is a testament to the Obama administra-tion’s audacity that it doesn’t just defy the crit-ics’ view of its lawful authority, it defies its own view of its lawful authority.

News of the extension of the enrollment pe-riod came on the same day that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia heard arguments in Halbig v. Sebelius, a case involv-ing arguably the most sweeping act of lawless-ness in Obamacare’s implementation.

The text of the Affordable Care Act says that only exchanges set up by the states are eligible for subsidies. Since so many states didn’t set up exchanges, the Obama admin-istration decided that enrollees on the fed-eral exchanges can also get the subsidies. Its defense in Halbig v. Sebelius is, true to form, that the law doesn’t mean what it says.

Obamacare has been a long workshop in improv tragicomedy. The delays, regulatory rewritings and extensions are always an at-tempt simply to live for another day, to put off the political pain of cancellations, or rate hikes, or layoffs, and to get just enough trac-tion to make the law viable.

Millions have signed up for the exchanges, but it’s not clear that the demographic mix is right to avoid steep premium increases by insurers in 2015. So far, it looks like young people -- essential to making the econom-ics of the exchanges work -- aren’t signing up in the necessary numbers. The extension is surely a ploy to squeeze every last “young invincible” out of the current enrollment pe-riod, and hope the news for the rates in 2015 isn’t so bad.

And after that? It’s anybody’s guess. All we know for sure is that whatever Kathleen Sebelius says today may not be operative to-morrow.

Looking Downfrom the Saddle

Ads, news releases and who wields influenceDances withChihuahuas

Dave MundyGeneral

Manager

Every now and then it becomes incumbent on us to explain how a community paper operates, if only to dispel a few notions about how what gets printed gets selected and who directs what’s in the paper.

Let’s start with defining what is an “ad” and what is a “story.”

Had someone stop by the office the other day wanting to put an ad in the paper. When asked what kind of ad he was talking about, he produced a news release about an organization’s upcoming event featuring a particular speaker.

“Well, that’s a news release, that’s a story,” I told him.

“Yeah,” was the response. “How much does that cost?”

“Nothing,” I replied. “News is news, no charge for news.”

The person left very happy. He’d been told by some other publica-tions around the region that his news release was “advertising” and he’d have to pay premium rates to run it.

With very rare exception, if you’re bringing me information about an event which is open to

the public and is not designed to make money for you, or is infor-mation about a new business or business trend that our readers will want to know about, it will be classified as a “story.”

Then there was another per-son who called with a complaint: “We didn’t get many people call-ing about our ad, and besides, y’all changed everything and you didn’t run it where I said to run it.”

I asked which ad that was, and was told it was another news re-lease which had run as a story. I explained that when something is used as news copy, it is with the understanding that we have the obligation to correct grammatical

and spelling mistakes and re-craft the news release into newspaper style. News stories are designed to inform our readers, not sell your products.

Placement is entirely up to our news judgement with items like that; there have been occasions when contibuted news releases have run as front-page pieces based on their news value to our readership, and other times we’ve condensed them into a commu-nity brief.

If you want something run the way you wrote it, and want a say in where it appears, then you’re wel-come to pay for advertising space. Certain rules of newspaper design apply: ads “stack” on a page to the inside and bottom, underneath news copy, save for a “page spon-sor” banner.

Then there are the folks who think that purchasing advertising space allows them to dictate edito-rial policy.

A couple of years back, we had someone who’d been a very regu-lar advertiser demand that we

cease publishing op-ed pieces ad-vocating a particular viewpoint or he’d pull his advertising.

We hated to see him go, but it’s a matter of integrity.

What appears regularly on our “Opinion” pages reflects (1) the individual views of the author and (2) the general political views of what the editor and The Gonzales Cannon, Inc.’s Board of Directors perceive to be that of the majority of our readers. The Cannon was established to give the commu-nity a newspaper voice which was more conservative, and that’s the general tone of most of our regular op-ed columnists.

At the same time, as a commu-nity newspaper, we are obligated to allow the community to have its say, and not everyone in the com-munity shares our views on all is-sues. We have run Letters to the Editor and guest commentaries with which we pointedly do not agree. We welcome such submis-sions.

Opinions stay on the Opin-ions page, however. Our editorial

stance does not influence what stories are covered, nor how they are covered.

Our news policy is to promote controlled economic growth and responsible local government. When questions need to be asked, we ask them of our local officials. Those questions can sometimes be difficult to address, and some-times the answers are not com-pletely satisfactory to everyone who reads the story.

The good news is that partly as a result of some of our past re-porting, we’re seeing a lot more transparency in local government these days. Road waste won’t be dumped in the Guadalupe again any time soon, and people look a lot more closely at mail-in ballots than they used to.

There are still issues here and there, but by and large our read-ers have told us they have gained a better level of trust in local gov-ernment since The Cannon began publishing.

We take that as a sign we’re do-ing our job right.

This is an edited transcript of commentary heard on “The News from the Camphouse” on KULM 98.3 FM.

Brune: Certain aspects of American and World His-tory may be creeping up and biting us again. In 1961 the Cold War was in full swing, the Belin Wall was built, and the world narrowly averted a nuclear crisis that would have put intermediate and medium range missiles 90 miles from Miami, Florida. Unless you’re older than me, and I’m 56, you may not remember the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The Bay of Pigs was Presi-dent John F. Kennedy’s (JFK) biggest failure. The purpose was to overthrow Castro’s communist regime in Cuba. It was originally a plan orches-trated by former President Eisenhower and later picked up by JFK. It was a scheme brought by the CIA and ap-proved by the two presidents to not use American troops on the ground but to rather use Cuban freedom fighters. These Cubans were promised American air support and expected to have Marines backing them up. JFK cut the number of planes to be used as support and Ameri-

can ground troops were never part of the plan. Ultimately, the small force of Cubans were pinned down, defeated, and imprisoned. The Bay of Pigs gave Soviet Premier Ni-kita Khrushchev reason to be-lieve that JFK was a young, in-experienced, and a weak U.S. leader. This thinking gave rise to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a standoff between the two global forces as Russia built missile bases in Cuba giving them the capacity to launch and attack the U.S. with nuclear warheads. Rus-sia also kept IL-28 bombers in Cuba. JFK implemented a “quarantine” of Cuba and dispatched letters to Khur-shchev advising that putting missiles in Cuba would be an

act of aggression and would precipitate U.S. action. The entire scenario was played out between the White House and the Kremlin foregoing the usual bureaucratic chan-nels used in foreign affairs. It was a mental battle that in-volved posturing and flexing military muscles, as well as, negotiation skills between JFK and Khurshchev that totally depended on which would blink first and whether Rus-sia was dedicated to war in the Western Hemisphere.

The episode culminated with Russia backing down. However, it was not until there was some discussion about U.S. missiles being removed from Turkey, and of course Castro and the communists remained in control of Cuba.

Several factors that evolved from the crisis included the implementation of a “hotline” between the White House and the Kremlin. Many of the messages and letters between the two superpowers were misunderstood and ignored. The direct phone line pro-vided simpler and more direct communication. Another fac-tor was that both sides began to re-think the nuclear arms race and agreed to the Test Ban Treaty.

Now we’re in 2014 and

hearing that there is a danger of attack from foreign forces slipping into the Gulf of Mexi-co. The question most recently posted is whether the U.S. can defend itself from cruise mis-siles launched in the Gulf of Mexico.

Iran recently voiced its in-tent to deploy warships to the U.S. maritime borders. This announcement heightens the discussion about the Middle Eastern country’s growing military capabilities. Likewise, U.S. intelligence has noted Russia’s increased buying of cruise missile technology, and the development of quieter nuclear submarines that could deliver cruise missiles.

In a Washington Free Bea-con article by Bill Gertz, the writer says two U.S. officials affirmed that an Akula class Russian submarine lingered for weeks undetected in the Gulf of Mexico. The Defense Department and Navy de-clined to affirm these accu-sations and all intelligence concerning the movement of nuclear bearing vehicles is restricted. However, U.S. Senator John Coryn has asked the Pentagon’s Chief of Naval Operations for a clarification. Coryn states, “The incident is especially troubling consider-ing the defense cuts sought by

President Obama which in-clude anti-submarine defense systems.” Then another factor hampering disclosure of the issue, mentioned in the article, is President’s Obama’s failure to reset relations with Russia.

The gist of this issue points to the perceived weakness of foreign relation policies in the current administration, the cuts in funding to U.S. defense systems, and the growing military power of aggressive adversaries in the Middle East and Russia.

So, can the U.S. defend it-self on its own soil from cruise missiles?

In a National Journal arti-cle, U.S. Northern Command head General Charles Jacoby says, “there are significant challenges” in defending the U.S. from short range cruise missiles. A 2013 military ex-ercise with Aegis warships, combat aircraft, and Patriot interceptors highlighted these challenges.

According to military ex-perts, cruise missiles can be particularly difficult to shoot down. A National Air and Space Intelligence assessment reports that cruise missiles can fly at low altitudes staying under the radar, may hide be-hind terrain features, and that new technology is producing

missiles with stealth capabili-ties.

Current defense systems are not specifically designed to ward off attacks from such missiles. However, analysts at the Center for Arms Con-trol and Nonproliferation say that enough defense systems are available with improving technology allowing for sys-tems to be cobbled together to provide a means of defense better than what is currently deployed.

A 2013 U.S. military intel-ligence report indicated that cruise missiles would be avail-able and spread to usage by more countries throughout the coming decade. The same report hinted that technology to defend against these ballis-tic missiles may be evaded.

The crux of the matter is that as defense spending is cut and defense systems are either unavailable or un-proven — foreign powers move closer to capabilities that include attacking and waging war on American soil. This is a notion never before perceived by the bulk of the U.S. population. Not since 1961 and the Cold War have U.S. citizens been in such danger from foreign enemies — while sitting in their home.

AUSTIN — The State Board of Educa-tion approved by an 11-3 vote Wednesday to add elective course specifically for Mexi-can-American, African-American and oth-er ethnic courses after dozens of speakers testifyied in favor of the course on Tuesday.

SBOE member Ruben Cortez Jr. of Brownsville made the proposal and dur-ing a public hearing on Tuesday only one of more than 40 speakers stood up in opposi-tion to the idea.

Many of those testifying in favor, howev-er, seemed unaware the Board had approved new history standards last year which vastly expanded the inclusion of Tejano and Mex-ican-American figures as part of the broad-er Texas and U.S. history studies.

“This is already in the curriculum,” said District 4 member Ken Mercer, whose district includes Caldwell County. “Those things are already delineated in the stan-dards.”

The proposed course is under intense

scrutiny after a similarly-named course was removed by legislation in Arizona after lawmakers there discovered the course was being used for indoctrination into radical “Aztlan” separatism and violence.

SBOE District 3 representative Marisa Perez, whose district includes Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, said that she does not view creating a course specifically for one national ethnic group to be in any way wrong, even though similar course for other ethnic groups are not under consideration.

“Does supporting a course like Mexican-American studies make you any less Ameri-can?” she asked.

Democrat Mavis B. Knight of Dallas questioned why the only proposal was for Mexican-American students and other ethnicities were not represented. Witness Georgina Perez of El Paso presented a chart of Texas Education Agency demographics to claim that “indigenous” students now make up the majority of the state’s student population.

Tuesday’s public hearing included a group of college students sporting banners

and signs who several times ignored the hearing rules to applaud speakers — in-cluding Reginald Moore of the Texas Slave Decendants’ Society, who said that “Santa Anna was a freedom fighter. The Mexicans were abolitionists.”

UH-Victoria professor Dagoberto Gilb touched “The history of this region began 150 years ago” with the annexation of the South-western United States by the U.S. following the Mexican-American War, ignoring the earlier Texas Revolution.

The calls in favor of the course fell pointedly along ideological lines, with several referring to any opposition to the proposal as “racist.”

One Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart honoree, Placido Salazar of the American GI Forum, took it a step fur-ther and claimed that “Anyone who is a conservative is a racist” based on his own experience being discriminated against as a younger man.

Tony Diaz, an instructor at Lone Star College in Harris County, was among those promoting the original course in Arizona and on Tuesday declared that any opposition by Republicans only served to confirm “gerrymandering” in an attempt to “deny our civil rights.”

Texas Education Agency Associ-ate Commissioner of Standards and Programs Monica Martinez told the 15-member Board that if approved by the SBOE, it would still be 2-3 years before standards and instructional ma-

terials are approved for use. Individual school districts in Texas have the option to create a course on their own, if they wish.

“Local schools can implement this on their own if they want,” Juan Tejada testified to the board. “The problem is, they haven’t.”

The board was scheduled to continue discussion on the proposal on Wednes-day and could take a final vote on Fri-day.

The Arizona Legislature in 2010 passed a law closing the door on all classes that “promote the overthrow of the United States government (or) resentment toward a race or a class of people.”

Arizona schools superintendent Tony Horne told a news network in a May 5, 2010 interview that the “Mexican-American Studies” course in particular had strayed far from its objectives.

“Specifically ask about that, because they say in the borders that we have are artificial and that the southwest United States should be taken back by Mexico,” Horne told Fox News personality Sean Hannity. “... they call it Aztlan is the area that they say is — these states that I’ve mentioned — Arizona, California, New Mexico and some other states — that are really northern Mexico that was conquered by the United States and they should be given back.”

The Warriors Weekend is an annual event bringing wounded service members to the Victoria and Port O’Connor area for a weekend of fun and fishing.

“It’s ana amazing thing because of the lives we touch,” said Warriors Weekend president Ron Kocian. “There are a lot of organizations that do things like this, but nobody does it on the scale we do. We’ll have probably about 800 service members total out on 400 boats.”

Kocian said the weekend is about a whole lot more than fishing.

“They need to know they haven’t been forgotten,” he said. “Some of them, this is the first time they’ve been out since they were wounded. When they’re on this trip, they’re treated like a rock star, and that’s what you people do.”

Last year’s parade attracted several thou-

sand Gonzales area residents to cheer the buses and their escorts as they traveled through town. This year, Ken Hedrick and the Gonzales Young Farmers will provide a down-home barbecue lunch.

One request made by many of the Warriors is home-made desserts, and Gonzales turned on the sweet tooth last year. If you would like to volunteer to furnish some home-made des-sert, contact the Gonzales Chamber of Com-merce at 830-672-6532.

Gonzales Elementary’s fourth-grade massed choir will also be out in force to ser-enade the Warriors with patriotic and Texas Heritage songs.

The Gonzales Cannon will again publish a special pull-out commemorative to celebrate the Warriors’ visit and invite them back to en-joy and explore our historic town. Kocian said this year’s weekend will include a job fair for employers looking to hire honored veterans.

authority to make a conract for the well, which would enable the estate to pay the taxes.

English was present at the meeting and objected, saying that his attorney had re-ceived clarification from the Attorney General’s Office that such action is perfect-ly valid. During a brief executive session as the board conferred with its legal advisor, English made several vocal references that he felt he was being defamed and that he was considering filing “criminal charges” against Cedillo.

“This is a fishing expedition to take my property,” he said. “I’m 20 percent Anglo, you wouldn’t think things like this still happen. They’re just trying to take my property because it’s on the Interstate.”

When directors returned from their consultation, General manager Greg Sen-gelmann said the company seeking the permit, JTC Energy, had met the district’s criteria for SWD wells and recommended dropping the district’s objection before the Texas Railroad Commission. The motion passed by a 4-1 vote, with Miller objecting.

Directors voted to pursue status in con-testing a SWD well permit sought by Mara-thon Oil in the Dreyer area. Sengelmann told the board that the well is slightly out-

side the district’s jurisdiction and that Mar-athon had declined to construct the well in accordance with the district’s guidelines.

“It’s a little outside our area and the wa-ter in that formation is pretty brackish,” he said.

Legal advisor Greg Ellis told the board that to retain its standing, the district would have to show the proposed well could effect the aquifers over which the district has jurisdiction.

“I agree that it will be a tough fight, but not an unwinnable one,” he said. “We have to prove their operation could have an im-pact on water quality inside the district.”

Directors voted to have Ellis and Sengel-mann pursue a standing in the contested case.

Directors also voted to renew a public well for the Schertz-Seguin Local Gov-ernment Corp., but declined the SSLGC request to enable the well to change the terms of its permit to enable it to continue producing two acre-feet rather than one.

During public comment, local property owner Wayne LePori urge dthe board to deny the permit because SSLGC has sold some of the water it is permitted to pump for its own customers to other agencies.

LePori asked the Board to delay action on renewing the permit until a review “de-trmines whether there is a justified need.”

This time of year I spend at least part of every Saturday in the garden. As I do so I am con-stantly looking for examples and illustrations of the Christian life. A week or so ago I was on my knees working my way between the rows of corn, carefully pulling out weeds.

Not the most pleasant or exciting job, but necessary before they get out of control. I then began to ask myself if I were as concerned about rooting sin out of my own heart. Just as I must be on my knees pulling out weeds, so it is necessary to bow in prayer and confess and repent of sin. Sin must be rooted out, or in the language of the Bible, it must be “put to death.” (Romans 8:13)

Christians are not without sin. While con-version to Christ forgives the penalty of sin and breaks the power and bondage of sin, we still struggle with the presence of remaining sin. In fact the Bible says, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (I John 1:8)

Paul described his own struggle with re-maining sin in this way, “For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice, but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the

law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.” (Romans 7:15-21)

I realize that those verses sound almost like a riddle. However, it is Paul’s way of describ-ing the ongoing battle against sin. Often know-ing what is right and wanting desperately to do what is right and pleasing to God, but still at times yielding to sin. As the book of Galatians says, “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are con-trary one to another, so that you cannot do the

things that you wish.” (Galatians 5:17) I want to spend the rest of this article point-

ing out how we can grow in overcoming sin…1. Be honest. God sees and knows all. “He

that covers his sins will not prosper, but who-ever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13) Do not make excuses and do not simply call sin a weakness or a prob-lem. Face it as sin.

2. Do not blame others. This is seen as far back as Genesis 3. Adam blamed Eve for his sin. Eve then went on to blame the serpent. Don’t pass the buck. I can’t blame the grocery store for the fact that I eat too much.

3. Do not delay. The very moment the Spirit of God convicts and convinces you, confess and repent before God. Sin is destructive and only leads to more sin and it’s certain consequences. If I put off weeding my garden, I only get more weeds.

4. Be sure to go down deep. Remember that sin is a matter of the heart. If I am struggling with gossip or lying, I do not simply have a problem with my tongue. My heart is defiled and I need cleansing. After a long list of hor-rible sins, Christ said this, “All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” (Mark

7:23) It will do little good for me to simply break weeds off at ground level. I must go be-low the surface and get the root.

5. Be aggressive. Jesus said, “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you;” and again, “If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast if from you.” (Matthew 5:29-30) Of course we are not to literally pluck out an eye or cut off a hand. However, we are meant to see the serious nature of sin. Sin must not be coddled or allowed to go uncontested.

6. Yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. “For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” (Romans 8:13) Many years ago the Puritan leader John Owen wrote, “Be killing sin, or it will be killing you.”

7. Make sure you are daily being nourished by God’s word. “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11)

Join me in the battle against sin. Also join me in looking forward to that day when sin will be no more.

First FridayMike Brzozowski of Gonzales Livestock Auction makes some remarks during First Friday Coffee. (Pho-to by Mark Lube)

Dear Gonzales ISD School and Community Family,

What an exciting and active time of year! The students are busy with end of year activities and academics. This is the time of assessment for all districts in Texas. Our students have begun tak-ing State of Texas Assess-ment of Academic Readi-ness (STAAR) exams and End of Course (EOC) is underway in all content areas. These exams are a part of the accountabil-ity system of the State of Texas for public schools. Schools use results for ex-amining performance and acceleration in academics. Additionally the perfor-mance on the state exams is important in sequential preparation to meet man-dated graduation require-ments.

The last months of school are also full of spir-ited competitions. Our high school theatre arts department excelled at One Act Play competition this week. Their perfor-mance, Quiet in the Land, was outstanding and not only told a complex story but also centered on the Amish culture and so was a study in social studies and other ways of life.

At the same time, we have two athletes who re-cently competed at state in power lifting competi-tion. For the girls Erica Hernandez earned a sixth place medal at state power lifting and Jaime Tellez scored seventh for the boys’ team. Our tennis team has moved forward

with Lucero Luna and Zachary Hernandez win-ning third place mixed doubles and Alex Finch

winning first place singles. They are regional quali-fiers at district in Corpus Christi. Great job!

New legislation has had a positive impact on cur-riculum. Our students now have focused en-dorsements or pathways of study opportunities as they plan for their future. The endorsements are in STEM (Science, Tech-nology, Engineering and Math), Business and In-dustry, Arts and Humani-ties, Public Service, and Multi-Disciplinary stud-ies. Gonzales ISD is fortu-nate to be able to offer all five endorsement areas.

Our counselors will be meeting soon with eight-grade students to intro-duce the areas of endorse-ments. The students have completed a career inter-est inventory. Counselors will explain the endorse-ment areas and with the career interest inventory results discuss options for students in their area of interest for a pathway of coursework in high school that will eventually earn them an endorse-ment at graduation and also help prepare them more intensely for their interest in a future career.

Parents will receive an invitation to attend an in-formational session and to assist in the endorse-ment area of their indi-vidual student’s choice. We are so fortunate to have so much opportunity for electives, vocational coursework and depth of study in varied areas at Gonzales High School.

Additionally, GISD has applied to imple-ment the National Navy Defense Corp of Cadets (NNDCC). The NNDCC is similar to the NJROTC

programs of the past. With budget cuts to our military programs, the JROTC programs are on hold until further fund-ing; however, the NNDCC is still able to provide cur-ricular resources and op-portunities for students. Our goal is to begin a pro-gram in which students participating not only receive training from the Navy department in citi-zenship and leadership, but are offered additional coursework such as Naval History and Oceanogra-phy. We anticipate hear-ing from the Navy soon and are looking forward implementing this great program.

As we move forward in ending this school year, we plan for the next. Along with these oppor-tunities we are always working to improve our services in all areas of the district. You will receive information soon on new arrangements to busing structures for children riding buses.

These new standards will require designated drop off locations that are set for the year, ei-ther at home, with a babysitter/daycare or at grandparents’ home. Additionally, you will note an hour of deadline to making last minute changes. Of course, we will work through emer-gency changes individu-ally; however, requiring consistency only provides for improved safety and security of your children. Look forward to a note home soon regarding these implementations beginning with the next school year.

We are so proud of our students and our dis-trict! Graduation is right around the corner and scheduled for May 30th. It will be here before we know it so we continue to make the best of each and every day that we have together in GISD. We will continue to work to provide the best for your students and look forward to great things throughout our district as we work to-ward future needs.

Warm regards, Kimberly Strozier, EdD

stand up for themselves and others. Gonzales Elementary students want to send the

message on this Child Abuse Prevention Week that it is never acceptable to harm or bully a child. A big thank you goes to Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Breitschopf for their tireless dedication to all children!

SHINER — It was a story of solid defense and pitching on both sides in the Shiner-Flatonia game on Friday night at Green Dickerson Park.

Shiner was able to get a little more offense and came away with a 2-0 pitch-er’s- dual victory against their rivals to the north.

“That was a very gutsy performance by (starting pitcher) Jacob Stafford,” Shiner head coach Daniel Boedeker said. “He made some big pitches and got a strikeout at times when we had two outs.”

Shiner scattered five hits and got some walks, including two intentional walks on Stafford

“We were able to get base runners,” he said. “Flato-nia’s pitcher (Marcus Mica) pitched well and got out of some jams, and their de-fense behind him was solid.

The Comanches had as many errors as hits.

Boedeker said it was due to a litte impatience in try-ing to make the play.

Stafford tossed a one hit-ter against the ‘Dogs.

“We really struggled at the plate,” Flatonia head coach Shawn Bruns said.

“It was the second straight game we wasted a great pitching effort by Marcus because we did not sup-port his and the rest of the defense’s work by scoring some runs.”

“Until we learn to con-nect better with bat, all of our remaining games are going to be tough.”

At the start of the game, Flatonia’s Easton Migl had a ball that was mishandled by Shiner. He was later caught stealing and Staf-ford got two strikeouts in the inning as well.

For the Comanches, Ty-ler Patek got a leadoff sin-gle, Ty Boedeker reached on the error and Flatonia made up with two straight outs on fly balls.

Flatonia elected to in-tentionally walk Stafford, which loaded the bases. Dillon Kalina earned base on balls to score Patek for the 1-0 Shiner lead.

In the second inning, it was three up and three down for both sides.

In the top of the third, Kaddin Mikulik reached base on a two-out error and moved to second on the hit by Casen Novak, the only one in the game for Flato-nia. Migl reached on an-other error to load the bas-es before Stafford fanned

Mica for the last out.With two outs in the bot-

tom of the inning, Ty Con-del got a hit and Stafford got another intentional walk. Mica struck out Ka-lina to prevent any further threat.

In the bottom of the fourth, second baseman Mikulik made the first of several good defensive plays as he tossed to first baseman Migl for an out and Mica fanned Murrile.

Shiner added the second run in the fifth inning — Blake Michalec got a lead-off single but was thrown out at second on the field-er’s choice on Condel’s at bat. Stafford singled to left and two batters later, Con-del scored on the hit by Cerny.

In the top of the seventh, Gus Venegas reached on an error before Shiner quickly refocused, and nabbed a flyball followed by striking out two straight batters.

LULING — Prior to Hal-lettsville’s road game at Luling Thursday, Brahmas head coach Calvin Cook sat down with his defend-ing 2A state champions and told them it was an impor-tant game.

The No. 5 Brahmas paid attention and got past Luling 12-2 at Eagle Field to remain unbeaten in 28-2A play.

“I felt our boys locked in to how important this game and they treated as such,” he said.

The Brahmas led 7-0 after three innings, had commit-ted no errors and held the Eagles to just one hit, and just a couple of baserun-ners.

Hallettsville scored twice in the fourth inning and added three in the top of the sixth.

In the bottom of the sixth and leading 12-0, Halletts-ville ended up yielding the

shutout.They committed two er-

rors, walked a batter and gave up a double, allowing the Eagles to bring in two runs.

“We lost our focus, re-laxed a little and Luling was able to capitalize because they are a quality team,” Cook said.

First-year Eagle head coach Brad Manning said Luling has done well most of the season but needs to be consistent.

“We have been a good team this year in flashes,” he said.

A couple of weeks ago, Luling scored a hard fought win in district over the Schulenburg Shorthorns, who were ranked No. 15 in 2A at the time.

“Schulenburg was ranked but we got the job done,” Manning said. “We need to respond to adversity. Hal-lettsville is a good team and it was good experience for us to play them. We showed

Luling is still sitting in at least a tie for second place.

“We need to win out and hold the No. 2 seed as well as get prepared to make a deep run in the playoffs,” Manning said.

YOAKUM — Bull-dog senior baseball player Timmy Blakeney will be continuing his playing days after high school.

Blakeney signed a letter of intent to compete for Wharton Junior College on Wednesday at the Yoakum athletic field house.

“I am happy about sign-ing with Wharton JC,” Blakeney said. “I am excit-ed. We contacted the head coach (Keith Case), and he came and watched me play. He liked what he saw.”

Blakeney said the small size of the campus made an impression on him.

“I liked the campus and feel they have a good base-ball program,” he said.”I will enjoy playing for them.”

Blakeney said he hopes to put himself in a posi-tion where he can be part of the starting lineup. He hopes to continue his col-legiate baseball career at a larger school after finishing at Wharton JC.

Blakeney said he wants to pursue a degree in ki-nesiology and become a coach after college.

He will miss the small-town togetherness of Yoa-kum.

“I will miss being a small community where every-one knows each other,”

Blakeney said.Yoakum head baseball

coach Bobby Nicholson said Blakeney definitely de-serves a shot at playing at the next level.

“It will be a neat experi-ence for Timmy,”he said. “He has a passion and de-sire for the game of base-ball. Timmy does not like to fail. He is the first to practice and the last to leave.”

Nicholson feels Blakeney can continue his playing career past junior college ball.

“Timmy will go bigger than having a stellar career at Wharton JC,” he said.

I was so glad that Don and Joann Leifeste got to show their kids, Carol and David, the beautiful ar-ray of Texas Bluebonnets while they were here over the weekend. These people have a wonderful plan of action. One child comes in from one direction, At-lanta, and one child comes in from the other direc-tion, Tulsa, leaving the re-spective spouses at home to hold down the fort. You know right after they left, the sky parted over here and the thunder rolled, the lightning shot across the sky, and a few rain drops managed to fall out of the sky, and then it took off at a high rate of speed to the South and that is all we got out of that commotion. You would have thought Henny Penny was letting the sky fall and maybe we were going to really get some rain. Absolutely dis-gusting Henny Penny. I think we are going to have to call on Humpty Dump-ty. Come Easter he is going to be all cracked up any-way.

There are Lenten ser-vices being held in Gon-zales one more time this Wednesday and this next Sunday, April 13th, is Palm Sunday.

For Monthalia United Methodist Church on April 18th, the Good Fri-day service starts at 7PM.

Easter Sunday at Mon-thalia United Methodist Church- It starts out with

a Easter Sunrise service at 7AM. Then comes break-fast in the Monthalia Par-ish Hall.

At around 8:30AM you need to regroup and go to the sanctuary by 9AM to attend the Easter Service. Then after this service is over Pastor Paul cuts out with a trot to Belmont to hold their Easter Service.

Monthalia will shoo the children and adults who try to be children out with their pretty Easter Baskets to hunt eggs.

Now Belmont has an EASTER EGG HUNT on the Saturday, April 19th, at 10AM, before Easter at the Belmont Community Cen-ter. This is a fun thing that I remember from my own childhood. Everyone got included in on this******* Mothers and Fathers, sis-ters and brothers, dogs and cats, and best of all, Grandpas and Grandmas. I know I am giving away how old I am and at this point there are a bunch of us around here just glad to be alive and still op-erational, though a little creaky. Another thing that is funny is that I always remember an old hound dog or stray cat showing up from somewhere trying to get a bite to eat from a sandwich or cookie. Now round up your grandkids or your neighbors/friends kids.

EASTER SUNDAY CHURCH at Belmont United Methodist Church starts at 10:30AM on Eas-ter Sunday at our little white church by the side of

the road.Rummage/Bake/Plant/

Fundraiser Sale On April 26 From 8-2Pm Because of our Rummage/Plant/Bake Sale the regular Belmont Community Center Meet-ing will be on Wednesday April 23, instead of Tues-day, as members will be at the center receiving your donations for the rum-mage sale anyway. We hope that you have been saving your rummage for us. We will be open April 23, April 24, and April 25th FROM 10AM TO 2PM. It is always exciting to me to see what is someone else’s rummage is someone else’s treasure especially after they have lost about twen-ty-five pounds or so or just plain maybe decided they can’t stand it anymore. I bought this beautiful ol-ive green top with beads and puffy sleeves, and it fit perfect and washed well. You know I just about threw that blouse on the floor and stomped on it. When I put that blouse on, I looked like I was dead and I have enough trouble looking like I am alive in the first place. So we hope that you have saved you GOOD rummage, decided to bake your best recipes for our bake sale, and ev-eryone come and buy it all up.

Now Leesville is not to be outdone. It is their an-nual Homecoming on May 4th,the first Sunday in May. People can start gath-ering at the old Methodist Church in Leesville and under the Pavillion. The business meeting will start at 9:45 AM and the Me-morial Service will start at 11:00AM with Steve Martin being the speaker. Bring a covered dish big enough to serve your fam-ily with a little extra. Tea and coffee will be served.

Terry Davis will be con-ducting music which in-cludes the Ward Family.

More information will be forthcoming from our Leesville informant about the annual Veteran’s flag raising ceremony which will be May 19th, begin-ning at 8AM with a full breakfast being served. So mark this down on your calendars.

Hold the following peo-ple in prayer: Judy Wil-son, Rhonda Pruett; Linda Denker; Case Martin; Lan-dis Kern; Joe Kotwig, Aunt Georgie Gandre, Aunt Frances Gandre, Aunt Bet-ty Gandre, Sandi Gandre, Ruby Ruth Gandre, Joyce and Danny Schellenberg; Esther Lindemann, Teresa Wilke, Anna Lindemann, Millie, Mr. Bill Lott, Pat at the Heights, Marie Schau-er, Bob Young, Marilyn Qualls, Lillie Lay; Shir-ley Dozier; Bob Brown; “Sarge” Dunkin; Dorothy Svoboda; Phyllis Oncken; Clay,Nancy, Maynard; Louise Jones; Margie Men-king; Jesse Esparza; the families of LA Lindemann and Doug Lott; pray for our troops; and pray for rain.

Please pray for the fam-ily of Jeffrey Wayne Bar-nett. The young man was in an auto accident and had some young kids and a wife LeAnne Barnett, who teaches in the Gonzales school system. Memorials can be made to the Barnett Children’s Fund % LeAnn Barnett, Tres Hewell Mor-tuary in Seguin, Tx 78155. I kept looking at his pic-ture and wondering why he looked so familiar. I think that I saw him when he was eating over at the café in Kingsbury.

I am really running late with this news so have a great week and God Bless.

It was Benjamin Franklin who made the following sage observation: “It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.”

If you’re like 87 percent of American adults, you use the Internet. The only thing I find surprising about this statistic is that there are 13 percent of adults who don’t use it.

In a recent survey, more Americans said they would have a hard time giving up the Internet than said they’d have a hard time giving up TV.

Those interested in maritime history (and practically everyone else, for that matter) are familiar with the story of the Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank on the night of April 15, 1912. It’s interesting to note, though, that in 1898 a book called “Futility,” by Morgan Robertson, described an almost identical scenario: The ship in the novel was called Titan, and, like the Titanic, it was trying to break a speed record for crossing the Atlantic. The Titan was declared to be unsinkable, and it didn’t have enough lifeboats for all the passengers. On its fictional voyage in the

month of April, it struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and sank, resulting in the deaths of almost all the passengers.

In Ireland, the police do not carry firearms. Their only weapons are batons and pepper spray.

In 1943, then-chairman of IBM, Thomas Watson, went on the record saying, “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”

If you’re afraid of sharks, you might want to consider this tidbit: Every year, more people are killed by bees than by sharks.

***Thought for the Day: “In

this world, you must be a bit too kind to be kind enough.” -- Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux
