Authorities deal with human traffickingThere have been several cases

of suspected human traffickers inthe Colorado and Fayette countyarea in the last few weeks.

On April 9 at 2:40 p.m., DPSTrooper Klent Tipton made a traf-fic stop on a 2006 Ford F350 onInterstate 10 near Weimar at themile marker 687.

The vehicle fled from Tiptoneast bound on I-10, exitedHatterman Lane, went south onHatterman Lane, west on Farm-to-Market Road 2434, south onCountry Road 211 and east onCounty Road 215A when they hita dead end.

The pickup drove through aclosed gate and onto private prop-erty. The truck damaged two othergates and several fences.

The truck has several personsin the cab and the bed of thepickup.

Tipton lost sight of the vehiclein the wooded area.

The truck was located aban-doned about an hour later with theassistance of a DPS helicopter.

The truck was reported stolenfrom New Caney on April 8.

It is suspected that the truckwas being used to illegally trans-port people without documenta-tion.

Fayette County Sheriff KeithKorenek reported that on April 7the Fayette County Sheriff’s Of-fice Narcotics Canine Unit at-

tempted to stop a stolen vehicleon IH-10 at the 660 east boundmile marker near Flatonia.

The vehicle failed to stop andexited I-10 in Flatonia and drovenorth on Highway 95. DeputyRandy Thumann followed the ve-hicle as it exited on to Mica-Barrium road and continued toflee.

The vehicle drove through sev-eral pastures and came to a stopat a wood line parallel to High-way 95.

The vehicle was abandonedand the driver was not located.

The vehicle was reported sto-len out of Houston on March 29.

On April 10 at approximately1:50 a.m. the Fayette CountySheriff’s office was also involvedin a vehicle pursuit.

According to Fayette CountySheriff Keith Korenek, DeputyMark Zimmerman was on routinepatrol on Salem/Freyburg roadand he noticed a suspicious truckdriving slow down the countyroad.

Zimmerman was going to at-tempt to make contact with thedriver but the vehicle sped awayand a pursuit ensued.

The vehicle ran through a gateonto private property and crashedin a ravine.

Three subjects were trans-ported by EMS from the scene ofthe crash and three more were lo-

cated several hours later, with in-juries resulting from the crash.

Once a check was ran on thevehicle it came back as a stolenvehicle out of Houston.

Korenek wants to let the pub-lic know the frustration thesheriff’s office has in dealing withhuman traffickers.

“When deputies attempt to stopthese stolen vehicles the driverswho are called Coyotes do nothave any regard for property orhuman life. All these people wantto do is get the load of cargo whichis humans to the assigned desti-nation to collect the money theyare charging,” said Korenek.“When officers are actively work-ing criminal interdiction they en-counter these individuals it seemson a daily basis here lately.”

With the victim and mother ata secure location, the conversationcontinued and a meeting was ar-ranged for April 9 to take placeinside the women’s restroom atthe park complex in the 1400block ofMontezumaStreet in Co-lumbus.

This is the second of a two-partseries.

In early 1868, Dr. Hermespurchased what was to be knownas the Old Hermes Homestead onthe corner of North Main andGuadalupe Streets.

Later that year, William mar-ried Lisette Holste of FayetteCounty; they were ages 40 and 26,respectively. Their first child, Wil-liam Hermes Jr., was born in 1869followed by two daughters whodid not survive early childhood.A second son, August, was bornin 1881.

All in all, Hermes Drug Storehas existed in some form from1856 until after the end of theCivil War. The store was moved

The interior of Hermes Drug Store, with August behind the counter, Gilbert, and William Hermes Jr. PhotoCourtesy of the Fayette Heritage Library and Archives

again to the corner of Washing-ton and Colorado streets.

Dr. Eck retired in 1870 and Dr.Hermes bought his interest in thestore, becoming the sole owner.

In 1871, Hermes purchased “atwo-story wooden frame build-ing” from Peter Shaw. In thatbuilding, the drug store was joinedwith the post office, as Dr. Hermeshad been appointed postmaster forthe years 1866-73, in addition tohis medical practice and drugstore business. The second floorwas rented to a photographer,Conrad Petersen.

In the 1850s, a clause in theTexas Constitution made bankingillegal, so the sending of gold andsilver fell to the postal department,thus the responsibility of Dr.Hermes.

He sold schoolbooks and sup-plies, herbal remedies and patentmedicines, in addition to the usualstandard prescription medications,most of which were compoundedon the premises. The building be-came a general store of sorts forthe community.

Early in the twentieth century,Dr. Hermes decided to constructa “modern, brick two-story struc-ture” in the middle of the blockon Washington Street on the eastside of the La Grange square.

Until construction was com-pleted, the business was moved tothe first floor of the Lester Hotelon Colorado Street. In the newbrick and red stone construction,Hermes Drug Store existed until2009.

Both the Hermes sons becamepharmacists: William Jr. receivinghis degree from Vanderbilt in1888 and August from the Univer-sity of Texas College of Pharmacyin Galveston in 1889.

William Jr. returned to LaGrange and took over HermesDrug Store as sole owner. He mar-ried Augusta Willenberg, and their

children were Gilbert William andMyrta.

In 1927, William Jr. sold one-quarter interest in the store to hisbrother, August. He retained one-quarter for himself and gave half-interest to his son, Gilbert, whohad also obtained his pharmacydegree from UT in Galveston.

In 1930, William Sr. sold hisown quarter interest to his brother,August, thus forming an equalpartnership between his brotherand his son. They operated thestore jointly until August’s deathin 1940. August, never married,left his half ownership to hisnephew, Gilbert, making him soleowner of the pharmacy.

Ownership of the storechanged in 1946 when Gilbert re-tired and sold the business to A.F.and Edgar F. Anders. Edgar, nick-named “Smiles,” had attended theDansforth School of Pharmacy inFort Worth and became a regis-tered pharmacist in 1934.

He operated the store until1979 when he sold the store topharmacist Justin Bartos. AfterJustin’s retirement in 1994, own-ership passed again to pharmacistYolanda Cuellar.

At that time, Hermes DrugStore was recognized as the old-est continuously-operating phar-macy in Texas, usurping the claimof a Greenville firm that openedduring the 1890s.

As usually happens, timeschange and modern society needsfinally took its toll on the long-lived drug store. The age of largecompany ownership had arrived,and in 2009, Hermes Drug Storebecame a part of a Texas phar-macy chain, LifeChek Pharma-cies.

Finally in 2010, LifeChekPharmacy of La Grange movedfrom its location on the square toits present location just a coupleof blocks away on Travis Street

(Highway 71). They remain andcontinue to serve the residents ofFayette County.

The red stone building earlieroccupied by Hermes Drug Storeis now the home of retail busi-nesses, frequented by both localcitizens and an ever-increasingstream of visitors from other ar-eas. A recent renovation has re-stored much of the former lowerexterior of the building.

One can still read the nameHermes at the top of the façade, atestament to the history and legacyof over 150 years of service to thecommunity.

The article was made avail-able through the kindness ofNick Dokas, whose wife was a de-scendant of the Hermes family.The bibliography for Ms. Will-iams’ article is available uponrequest.

“As we commemorate the 50th anniversary ofthe Civil Rights Act, we honor the men and womenwho made it possible,” President Obama said inhis address. “We recall the countless unheraldedAmericans, black and white, students and schol-ars, preachers and housekeepers whose names areetched not on monuments, but in the hearts of theirloved ones and in the fabric of the country theyhelped to change.

“But we also gather here deep in the heart ofthe state that shaped (President Johnson), to recallone giant man’s remarkable efforts to make realthe promise of our founding:�‘We hold these truthsto be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

Obama and the past presidents each utteredwords to the effect that while Johnson’s accom-plishments serve as durable bridges to a betterAmerica, every generation has civil rights chal-lenges that must be recognized and addressed, andthe value of teaching and learning about the workof predecessors is critical to the health of the na-tion.

Panels composed of historians, scholars, cur-rent and former public officials and noted person-alities addressed a range of topics, including: LBJand Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., heroes of the civilrights movement, social justice in the 21st�century,immigration policy, education, gay marriage, mu-sic and social consciousness and professionalsports.

Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwinsaid, and others agreed, LBJ’s mastery of the leg-islative process and effective use of the power ofthe White House proved keys to the success of thecivil rights law, the voting rights law, the fair hous-ing law, Medicaid, Medicare and other laws andfederal programs that have been the legacy of theJohnson presidency and central to American lifeover the last half century.

In their panel discussion, former NAACP Presi-dent Julian Bond, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.,and former Ambassador to the United NationsAndrew Young — associates of Dr. Martin LutherKing Jr. — recounted their personal involvement

in the movement.Each of the three credited many others and ac-

knowledged the work of the ranks of the unnamedwho struggled in the 1950s and 1960s to unravelracial segregation across the South, and pushed forequal protection and equal access, while generat-ing worldwide awareness and spurring changes inhearts and minds across the United States.

Hall of fame professional athletes Jim Brownand Bill Russell traded anecdotes on breaking thecolor line in sports, opening doors after their re-tirement as players, and dealing with the day-to-day realities of life in America.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musicians MavisStaples and Graham Nash performed songs andparticipated as panelists.

Revenues Grow in MarchState Comptroller Susan Combs on April 9 an-

nounced state sales tax revenue in March was $2.09billion, up 5.6 percent compared to March of theprevious year.

“The growth in sales tax revenues was led bybusiness spending in the oil and natural gas min-ing, wholesale trade and construction sectors,”Texas chief revenue officer explained. “Collectionsfrom restaurants were also strong. This marks 48consecutive months of growth in state sales taxcollections.”

Combs said her office would send cities, coun-ties, transit systems and special purpose taxing dis-tricts their April local sales tax allocations totaling$554.5 million, up 6.2 percent compared to April2013.

Back in the days of Ignatz,Emil and frothy libation

By WILLIS WEBB

Once upon a time, as all goodadventure tales begin, I sought“interesting characters” to writeabout.

And as I had read, witnessedin movies and thus believed, about

all “goodwriters,” Ilooked forthem in es-tablishmentsthat servedsudsy brews.

Being soentranced by

“proper atmosphere” and physicalsurroundings, my searches tookme to establishments in rural sites.These erstwhile places of businessprovided rest, relaxation andnerve-soothing foamy mugs.

In that time I was “blessed” inmy “research” to have landed in asection of the Lone Star Statewhere there were still some firstand lots of second generationCzech, Polish and German immi-grants. Many frequented “grangehalls,” a carryover from their Eu-ropean origins.

I often wrote about visits toneighborhood taverns and of vis-iting with local characters. Thatwriting often took the form of dis-cussions with “natives” of an areawho were obviously and proudlyimmigrants or children of immi-grants from Eastern Europeancountries.

Thus, the names of Ignatz andEmil were given to the charactersI visited with most often.

Most of these establishmentswere rural, usually near a church,in the center of the community.Since the particular region wasextremely fertile farm and ranchland, there were lots of rivers.Communal establishments were

likely to be in such locations.Grange halls were, as continu-

ing custom dictated, family-ori-ented, so attendance on any givennight included plenty of healthy,young single women.

One learned quickly that therewere certain requirements fordancing with these young women.First, you’d better know how towaltz and to polka.

Second, you need to be of al-most competitive sports physicalconditioning and I mean that inrelation to the number of polkasincluded in a four-hour dance ses-sion.

FOOTNOTE: While waltzesare very popular in their own right,they are welcome respites fromthe often breath-depriving polkas.Anyone who has ever playedsports can equate polkas withwind sprints.

Of course, with the waltz you’dbetter be in possession of someamount of grace, dignity and re-spect.

Despite the myths of naivete orcoarseness, smooth “lines” werequickly ferreted out, if not by theblonde dancing damsel, then byher ham-fisted, leathery-faced,unsmiling Papa. Grange hall gath-erings were “family dances.”

It’s a natural follow that eti-quette and manners were also ofimportance. One didn’t approacha group of young women andcrook a c’mon finger at thatevening’s girl of your dreams.

Patrolling papas were persis-tent in their expectations of man-ners and respect as shown to theirdaughters. A proper “May I havethis dance, please?” or “Wouldyou care to dance?” was expected.

Oh, and no “sleazy” dancing.That might bring a bruising ejec-tion from the grange hall.

At the very least, you could

expect a healthy number of curtrejections when you asked some-one to dance.

A large percentage of theyoung women attending a grangehall dance in those days, went tothe event single but probably veryproperly chaperoned. It was no“pick-up joint” and obvious“cruising” or “patrolling” was dis-couraged, if not openly, then bythe prevailing attitudes and over-all conduct easily discerned.

A complete cold shoulder treat-ment was often the order of theday for some obvious “outsider”who was not smart enough to fol-low the rules.

You could learn and take fromexperiences in those early grangehalls, that despite views from amore restrained segment of soci-ety, there was a predominant airof respectability — in no smallpart influenced by churches —that precluded rude, crude behav-ior. Old World values were verymuch in vogue.

The things I learned from liv-ing in that region about our Texasmelting pot have been invaluableover the years in assimilating allfacets of our culture in my inquisi-tive mind.

And it has bred a deep respectfor the cultures and habits broughthere and established by immi-grants from a diverse list of na-tionalities.

That is another of many rea-sons I am so enamored of thisLone Star melting pot and ourTexas history.

Our readers write:Colorado County CPS seeks neighbors’ support

Dear Editor:

We are living in hard times economically andevery indication is that they are going to becomemore difficult.

As we spin and turn through these rapids on the“Stream of Life,” there are children all around uswho have been set adrift without the support sys-tems afforded by the “American Family” as cap-tured in the art of Norman Rockwell.

Some of these kids have come to life right herein Colorado County and, from no fault of their own,have become a part of the Child Protective Ser-vices programs.

Friend, we can assure you that these kids knowlittle about what you would consider “normal.”Once these young lives come under CPS care, thecounty allocates funding for some basic needs.

Nevertheless, other needs that are just beyondthe essentials are unfunded and often out of thereach of foster parents. It is for such occasions asthis that the Colorado County CPS board exists.

Allow us to illustrate: Where possible the case-workers try to place children with extended fam-ily when it becomes necessary to remove them fromparental care. Often these “foster families” strivefinancially to accommodate the foster child or chil-

dren and may well have their own kids for whomthey must provide. Suppose, for example, the fos-ter parents planned to send their own kid to a weekof summer camp. They may not have the additionalfunds to send the extra children to camp. The case-worker contacts our board with the need and thenecessary explanations to see if we can assist inthat time. There are many like needs, and someunlike, that are brought to our attention and we tryto assist on a case-by-case basis as our donatedfunds allow.

You can see that our ability to render aid ismeasured by the amount of donated funds fromcaring neighbors here in Colorado County, Texas.

Sometimes the little things we can do for thesechildren have a “big impact” on a life and thatmakes it more than worthwhile.

Thanks for caring and listening.Your neighbors on the Colorado County CPS

BELLVILLE — The 12th An-nual Frühling Sängerfest, a jointeffort of the Bellville Lions Cluband the Bluebonnet Chapter of theTexas German Society, will becelebrated Sunday, April 27 atConcordia Hall in Bellville.

The Früehling Sängerfest is a“Spring Singing Festival,” but itsroots are in the original Sängerfestthat began on May 26, 1860, at thePiney Concordia Hall in AustinCounty.

The original Sängerfest wasdiscontinued in the 1980s andmany family members of theformer singing groups reside inthis area.

In 1985, the Bellville LionsClub acquired and restored theConcordia Hall.

And in 2002, the Lions Cluband Bluebonnet Chapter of theTexas German Society joined ef-forts to bring back this historicevent. Singing groups from thisarea participated in the event nowknown as the FrüehlingSängerfest.

The Concordia Gesang Vereinreorganized and made its debutappearance at the 2011 FrüehlingSängerfest under the direction ofEgon Schackmann.

Bludau retires after 31years as a head coach

TOMMY BLUDAU

By CHAD FERGUSONBanner Press Editor

SCHULENBURG — TommyBludau on Wednesday of thisweek was expected to notifySchulenburg school administra-tion and then inform his student/athletes of his intentions to retireat the end of the current year.

He will do so as one of thewinningest coaches in Texas foot-ball history. He ranked in the top40 entering his final season inwhich the Shorthorns posted a 7-4 record and reached thepostseason’s second round.

Bludau compiled a 51-24record in seven years atSchulenburg and reached the play-offs three times.

After 35 years in coaching, thelast 31 as a head coach, Bludauhas compiled a career record of240-117-4, a salty .670 winningpercentage, and made 20 playoffappearances.

Included were two trips to thestate semifinals and four regionalchampionship berths.

Bludau, who had one year re-maining on his contract, chose toretire after the Schulenburg ISDboard of trustees opted to take noaction on it in February.

“I’ve been coaching for 35years and am 57 years old, andfrom the old school,” said Bludau.“When someone doesn’t wantyou, it’s time to leave.

“I was upset at first, but I haveno sour grapes. I chose to do whatwas best for me and I’m okay withit. I have always believed thingshappen for a reason.”

Bludau says he was near retire-ment. After coaching sons Kyleand Ross at Schulenburg, he sayshe will now focus on daughterReagan as she finishes her finaltwo years at Schulenburg.

“I loved the opportunity to

coach my sons. Some coaches saythey would not coach their ownfor the world, but I enjoyed all theexperiences,” said Bludau. “Kyleand Ross may not have enjoyed itvery much at times, but I certainlydid. I would never trade that ex-perience.

“Although Reagan was righthere, I never had the opportunityto watch her play. I will now.”

It will also give him more timeto watch Kyle and Ross play col-

legiate baseball at University ofHouston-Victoria. Kyle is theteam’s current first baseman andRoss just recently signed a na-tional letter of intent to play there.

Bludau says he briefly thoughtabout applying for the Gonzalesposition, but it wasn’t an idealsituation. Ironically, he was aGonzales High School graduate.

“It wasn’t going to be fair tothem, because I would not con-sider moving. It would not havebeen fair to Reagan to move withtwo years remaining in highschool,” he said. “I will now seemore of Reagan than I did when Iwas coaching here.”

After spending his first fouryears as an assistant at Yorktown,

he was elevated to the athletic di-rector and head football positionat the young age of 26 when JoeyLawson departed for Stamford.

He spent nine years there fol-lowed by nine at Columbus, sixat Boerne and the last seven atSchulenburg.

“My favorite years were at C-Town. They had such a great ad-ministration, great coaching staffand the program was solid,” saidBludau.

He posted a 76-36-3 record atColumbus, losing to Cuero in thestate semifinals and Sealy in theregional final on a rain-drenchednight in Katy.

“My biggest regret was notwinning a state championship atColumbus. The talent we hadthere was unbelievable, but wealso were unfortunate to have hadto play Sealy during their dynastyin the ’90s.”

Not only did Bludau have atop-notch staff in Columbus, buthe says he was also blessed withoutstanding coaches every step ofthe way.

“I could not have had therecord that I have without someoutstanding coaches. I’ve alwayshad good staffs wherever I’vebeen,” he said.

“Coaches coach and playersplay, but you have to have theplayers … it helps. Coaches al-ways get way too much creditwhen you win and way too muchcredit when you lose.”

Bludau says his seven years atSchulenburg have been enjoyableand he’s leaving a great all-aroundathletic program behind.

“Our overall program here isas good as it gets … that’s themark for me. It proves the qualityof coaches we have here. Whenyou mention Schulenburg, it’s theoverall program and not just onesport.”
