WAELDER — Earning a blue ribbon in the lo-cal livestock show can be an exciting experience for area youngsters, but one young man was just happy to be taking part in the event in Waelder Friday after being struck by a car earlier in the week.

“I was coming out of church,” explained Omar Garcia. “I saw the first two cars and let them pass, but I didn’t see the third one.”

Emergency responders initially called AirLife out of concern the youngster had been severely injured, but Omar proved to be

quite resilient.“They got me in (to the

hospital) and took some X-rays, but they didn’t find anything broken,” he shrugged. “Just some

bruises, that’s about it.”Omar’s week of good

fortune continued Friday — when he won the rab-bits division at the Waelder Livestock Show.

“It feels pretty good,” he said.

A Gonzales organization which has worked for more than a half-century to help beautify the town has turned its spotlight on Court-house Square, so to speak.

The Spade & Trowel Garden Club on Monday presented a check to the Gonzales County Historic Association to help furnish en-hancement lighting for the Old Jail

Museum and portions of Court-house Square. For club members, it’s just the latest in a long history of lending a hand to help beautify the city.

“For over 60 years we’ve been do-ing beautification,” Spade & Trowel Garden Club president Lillian

Barta said. “Originally it was just to beautify our own yards. Later on we decided to plant flowers to help beautify other areas.

“Nowadays our fund-raiser is the annual holiday lights on the stars at the Museum,” she added. “I

Gonzales County Democrats have photocopied ballots for early voting thanks to two party mem-bers — but the Gonzales County Clerk said Wednesday she still has no officially printed ballots for the May 4 party primary.

County Clerk Lee Reidel said her office has received photo-copied proofs of the primary ballot prepared by Election Systems and

Software (ES&S) donated by local Democrats David Bird, the County Judge, and Ferd West, but she was told by ES&S they have still not re-ceived any money from the state for this year’s official primary bal-lots.

Official Republican ballots were delivered from ES&S on Friday, and Reidel said she spent the week-

end preparing and sending out mail ballots to more than 200 peo-ple. Early voting began Tuesday.

Reidel told Commissioners Court Feb. 10 the county might not be able to hold its primaries because ES&S was withholding de-livery of the ballots of both parties after the county’s Democratic Party failed to pay for ballots in the last election in 2012.

Reidel told commissioners that county Democratic Chairman Ken

Mosher II had failed to file paper-work with the Secretary of State’s office to obtain reimbursement to pay the bill, and that ES&S was withholding the ballots for both parties as a result.

Mosher, in an e-mailed response last week, said the matter was a paperwork snafu and would be re-solved in time for the election.

Reidel said that while the county is responsible for administering all

Gonzales firefighters responded quickly to a report of a recreational vehicle fully engulfed in flames Saturday at a mobile-home park off Middle Buster Road in Gonzales. Concern was acute because flames began attacking nearby power lines and the proximity to other trailers, but city crews were able to diconnect the lines and firefighters got control of the flames quickly. The cause of the fire is under investigation. (Photo by Dave Mundy)

The Music Study Club of Gonzales, Texas, a part of the Texas and Nation-al Federations of Music Clubs met Tuesday eve-ning with Laurel and Joe Ince hosting and co-host-ed by Barbara Blanchard. With Pres. Vida Burnett leading and music led by Sandra Moore, we joined to sing from TOGETHER WE SING, the popular 1910s song “Let me call you Sweetheart”, accompa-nied at the piano by Laurel Ince. The song’s story was related by Mrs. Moore and “The Federation Hymn” was then sung by all. Mrs. Burnett then called for the evening’s program of mu-sic performed by students of two local Junior Clubs’ piano teachers. The num-bers played and sung were their entries to also be per-formed on Feb. 22nd at the TFMC District VI Music Festival, for judging and critiques, to be held in the Music Bldg. of Texas State University at San Marcos.

Students of Vida Bur-nett of Shiner, Texas were Christine Wagner playing “Caitlin’s Smile”, Trevor Meyer playing “Scottish Jig for Jake” and “Coun-try Dance”, Samantha Neal singing “My Favorite Things” accompanied by Mrs. Burnett at the piano and playing “Ballad” at the piano.

Students of Laurel Ince were Elizabeth Neuse play-ing Prelude #1 by George Gershwin. Abbie Tieken playing Prelude #2 and

Carli Crum playing Pre-lude #3 also by George Gershwin.

We then enjoyed the lovely poignant music of Claude DeBussy, “Claire de Lune” played by Laurel Ince, a special treat for the Club.

Pres. Burnett then in-vited the students to en-joy refreshments while we held the business meeting. Under announcements she noted all members need to report volunteer hours contributed to the com-munity in music service, in Nursing Homes, also choral and sacred music service which is reported on the State and National levels. Mrs. Burnett also reported Hannah Keck of the Burnett Studio Club has written an essay for National Music Week ti-tled “Music, the Dance of

Life” to be submitted for National judging in March. National Music Week will be May 4-11th, 2014.

The Texas Federation of Music Clubs 2014 Conven-tion will be held in mid March, in Corpus Christi, to which we will be send-ing delegate Shirley Spoon.

Hosts, the Inces and Mrs. Blanchard served party sandwiches, salted nuts, fresh berries and the traditional February Cherry O’cream Pie with coffee or tea of your choice, from a white linen covered table centered with a crys-tal bowl holding white and red carnations and gypso-philia.

The March 11 Club meeting will be at the Lau-raine home with the pro-gram of Sacred Music and Part III of the study course from “The Gift of Music”.

LULING – During Thursday’s regular meeting of the Luling City Council, the board voted to demolish several abandoned and un-safe properties.

The following properties previously deemed danger-ous or substandard dur-ing the August, 2013 City Council meeting, were slated for demolition by the city: 419 E. Fannin St.; 210 San Marcos Hwy; and 317 Newton St.

The owners of the follow-ing homes were given 10

days to obtain any neces-sary permits, and 30 days to begin repairs to bring the property up to code: 420 E. Austin St. and 413 E. Fan-nin St.

All work must be com-pleted within 180 days. If any one of these steps is missed, the property imme-diately reverts to the city for demolition.

The structures at 402 Go-liad and Walnut were de-molished by the owner.

During his report, Police Chief Sala gave a detailed

breakdown of the “Racial Profiling Report for 2013”. The board approved the re-port for filing with the state.

Chief Sala stated the de-partment totaled another vehicle during the recent ice storm, bringing the count to two for the fiscal year to date.

The board also approved the following agenda items:

• Luling Area Chamber of Commerce Budget for 2014 Hotel/Motel tax proceeds. Additional proceeds will go toward the Luling Informa-tion Station.

• Ratification of the Air-

port Ground Lease Agree-ment for Skydive Midwest

• Luling Main Street’s re-quest to sell alcoholic bever-ages under a special permit for the Rajun’ Cajun Festi-val.

• Adoption of a City Or-dinance designating Lot Two (the parcel for the new La Quinta hotel) an addi-tion to the City of Luling as a reinvestment zone.

• Budget Amendment for Budget FY 2013/2014

• Approved request from IESI for price increase. The increase was calculated at 28 cents.

Donation helps purchase new ambulanceGonzales County EMS & Rescue was pleasantly surprised when the family of Sam & Pat Turk made a donation in remembrance of Mrs. Jackie & Dr. Walter Sievers. The Turk family continues this dedication to the medical community, and the cit-izens of Gonzales County, that Ms. Jackie and Doctor Sievers demonstrated over their lifetime. The contribution was used to purchase a new Ford F 350 Frazer Bilt Type I Ambulance. EMS Director Jim Russell stated “our service could not be more excited. The timing of this contribution could not have come at a better time.” The new ambulance is licensed as Basic Life Support with Mobil Intensive Care Unit capabilities, providing both 911 and emergency transfers. Director Jim Russell stated that “this donation was unsolicited and a total surprise to us all, we are so very thankful for their generous gift. It will serve this community for many years to come.

Local Cowgirl featuredLocal cowgirl Loni Lester was featued on an interview by San Antonio television station WOAI Channel 4 live Tuesday morning as part of its coverage of the San Antonio Livestock Show events.

GOP gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott recently made a comment about the politics in the south Texas Rio Grande Valley, comparing the local corruption scandals and “third-world country practices”. Immediately there was an outcry from the Democrats demanding an apol-ogy, pretending hurt feelings, and of course play-ing the race card.

Democrat gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, who has herself been caught in controver-sy over her embellished biography, “demanded” an apology. Oh please, Wendy.

The Democrats, particularly the liberal His-panics, immediately cried out foul, used the race card, and organized a phone bank to call voters in the Valley to spin and fan the contro-versy. They conveniently ignore the fact that the vast majority of scandals have involved Hispanic Democrats.

If anyone should be offended, it is the people of the Valley and the rest of Texas.

Consider these scandals:The Hidalgo County Panama Unit - Nine law

enforcement officers and three drug traffickers have all been charged in five separate criminal complaints over the past five months. Among those named was Jonathan Treviño, a Mission police officer who is the son of Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño.

The Progreso school district and contracts - The “Pay To Play” bribery scandal has so far snared Mayor Omar Vela, his former school board president brother Michael Vela and their former school district transportation director fa-ther Jose Guadalupe Vela.

Cameron county DA - Cameron County Dis-trict Attorney Armando R. Villalobos was sen-tenced to 13 years in federal prison. Villalobos was one of a number of lawyers involved with a now-convicted former South Texas judge, Abel Limas, who admittedly accepted cash for court favors.

Politiqueras – “Politiqueras” are a tradition is the Valley. They have been accused of various forms of voter fraud over the years — including acquiring and filling out the mail-in ballots of el-derly or disabled voters — but the arrests were one of the first times that politiqueras were ac-cused of paying cash directly to voters. Recently, two alleged “politiqueras,” were arrested after an FBI investigation determined they were paying voters money, food, and cigarettes for their votes. The investigation alleges that the two worked as “politiqueras” during the 2012 primary election and the general election.

If these four examples, all involving Hispanics and Democrats, aren’t enough to draw compari-son to the 3rd World, then we can all deny the sun rises in the east.

Shame on Rep. Terry Canales, D-Edinburg, Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas, and the rest of the Democrats for playing politics instead of ad-dressing the culture of corruption their Party has created.

There is also shame on the Republican side. While the Democrats quickly mobilized to use create a robo-phone call to fan the controversy, GOP leaders only reacted with comments. They must learn to respond quickly and in kind, and not fear the reaction of liberals to the truth.

South Texas has been dominated by Demo-crat Party political bosses for decades, and they have controlled the economy and the people. Until state and federal law enforcement moved in, the scandals were ignored or hidden by the locals. Let’s bring this culture of political corrup-tion out into the sunlight and sanitize it… and let’s not fear the phony outrage by liberals who are responsible for the very corruption.

Chihuahua packs attack, and they don’t fear SatanDances withChihuahuas

Dave MundyGeneral

The Democrats once styled themselves the party of workers. Now, they are the party of people who would have been workers, if it hadn’t been for Obamacare.

The Congressional Budget Office released a new analysis of the economic effects of the health-care law that estimates that it will re-duce the number of workers, in effect, by 2.5 million in 2024.

This unleashed a torrent of arguments from the Democrats implicitly denigrating the value of work. Perhaps not since South-ern “fire-eaters” attacked Northern “wage slavery” in the mid-19th century has a good honest day’s work been talked about so dis-missively.

The old jobs crisis was people not having jobs; the new jobs crisis is people having to work. The party devoted to combating in-equality is now blithely unconcerned about a law discouraging people -- especially peo-ple down the income scale -- from earning more. So much for its championing of eco-nomic mobility.

A few caveats are in order: We aren’t talk-ing about jobs that are eliminated in the usual sense of discouraging employers from hiring, as some Republican talking points suggested. And the 2.5 million number isn’t for jobs per se, but for “full-time equivalent” positions, i.e., the cumulative lost hours of millions of people deciding to work less.

Nonetheless, the number is devastating. Democrats want to pass it all off as ending the “job lock” that keeps people in a job only to preserve their health insurance. There is a

little something to this, but it isn’t the main problem. Obamacare has created a vast ap-paratus of subsidies, penalties and taxes that is effectively anti-work.

The CBO explains that Obamacare’s sub-sidies, by giving people more resources, allow “some people to maintain the same standard of living while working less.” And the way they phase out creates another dis-incentive, as “subsidies decline with rising income (and increase as income falls), thus making work less attractive.” The penalties and taxes, meanwhile, “will ultimately in-duce some workers to supply less labor.”

Democrats consider all this and pro-nounce themselves well-pleased. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., sees only upside in people working less: “What that means is instead they might be able to tuck their child in bed at night and read a bedtime story, or go to an activity, which means they’re better off.”

White House economic adviser Jason Furman made an inapt comparison. “Get-ting rid of Social Security and Medicare would cause more 95-year-olds to work,” he said. “You wouldn’t judge whether So-cial Security or Medicare are good or bad based on what they do to labor supply.”

No, you wouldn’t -- because they are programs for the elderly. Discouraging work among 95-year-olds is different than discouraging work among people in the prime of their lives. No one told us when the bill was being considered that Obam-acare would have some of the same effects as a retirement program.

The latest CBO numbers are part of the growing list of facts about Obamacare that, if they had been widely acknowledged be-fore its passage, would have doomed it in Congress. But that debate seems so long ago. It was back when both political parties professed to be pro-work.

PINKY: “Gee, Brain, what d’ya think we should do today?”BRAIN: “The same thing we do ev-ery day, Pinky — try to take over the world!”

Our Southwestern border is un-der siege. But not, as you would suspect, from an onslaught of il-legal aliens.

Arizona and California are be-ing overrun by chihuahuas.

A Fremont, Calif., policeman was attacked and injured by a pack of angry chihuahuas in a story first published in December, 2005. Now Maryvale, Ariz. officials are asking residents to help them out by luring small groups of the tiny attack dogs into their backyards and trapping them.

The reports come as no surprise to those of us who serve the Mas-ter Race. The ancient Toltecs and their conquerors, the Aztecs, at-tached special powers to the dogs and revered them in many reli-gious ceremonies.

Packs of chihuahuas are known to roam the northern reaches of Mexico and there have been other

reported attacks on humans. But those wild animals have nothing on the Texas Dreaded War Chi-huahua Death Comando. I’ve seen a pair of them run Satan out of an apartment complex.

My report on that incident from July 21, 1996:

Common household pets aren’t very religious by nature; indeed, I’ve never noticed either of my chihuahuas showing any interest whatsoever in reading my Bible.

But they sure don’t like Satan. In fact, they chased him out of our apartment complex.

The dogs had taken me for my morning walk the other day. They take me outside twice a day, in re-turn for which I feed them, bathe

them, give them lots of scratching and allow them to sleep as much as they want.

They’d stopped for a moment to inspect their markings on the nearest telephone pole when I heard Satan sneaking up behind me.

“Satan!” a man’s voice bellowed from a nearby apartment door. “You leave those little dogs alone!”

As I turned, I saw Satan for the first time in my life — a full-grown German Shepherd (y’all don’t be-lieve those stories you hear about him having horns and such). He loped across the parking lot, eager to work wickedness.

Smedley hit him first, launching all four pounds of pure chihuahua fury at Satan’s chest. After bounc-ing off the 100-pound monster the first time, he found a tooth hold on Satan’s back.

Rusty attacked from the rear, getting the shepherd’s leg in his jaws and gnawing away like it was a rib bone. When I think about it now, it was kinda funny, watching that big dog shaking his leg with its five-pound attachment.

Jerry Falwell never did a better job. Satan started running.

Smedley and Rusty fell off be-fore the big’un had gone too far, and they chased him halfway across the vacant field adjacent to our apartments before the big devil’s longer legs enabled him to pull away. The man from the apartment who’d called him ear-lier rushed by, mumbling apolo-gies, and we saw them disappear around the corner.

Smedley (that’s Lieutenant Colonel Smedley D. Butler) and Rusty (Sergeant Major Russell J. Chihooiehooie) normally don’t like each other all that much, near as I can tell, but the Houston Rockets never displayed the kind of teamwork those two showed when fighting Satan.

I guess I should’ve expected it of Rusty. Several years ago he put 137 stitches in a Doberman after the attack dog had foolishly wandered into my brother’s yard and started chasing around my 4-year-old niece. Age may have made him a tad slower and his teeth less sharp, but he can still

scrap with the best of ‘em — even when it means gumming ‘em to death.

Smedley, however, surprised me. He’s always been a coward — you know, the chihuahua who hides under the couch until the band of kids wanders by, jump-ing out to nip the last one in line and then diving back under the couch.

I named him for a two-time Medal of Honor winner and had heretofore regretted that some-what.

I told my preacher about the in-cident and he got a big kick out of it, and even worked it into his ser-mon the other day. He still won’t let me bring ‘em to church, though; he says he doesn’t trust ‘em with all that nice wood around.

Satan stays away from us now. I talked with the man he rooms with later, and he told me he’d run almost three blocks before Satan finally let him catch up. “Those little dogs scared him to death,” he said.

Personally, I think they just put the fear of God into him.

Dear Editor,Everyone who has served

in any of our Armed Forc-es, has been willing to lay down his/her life so that each of us would have the opportunity to be a voting member of this country.

Yet, when an election is

completed, we hear maybe up to 25 to 30% of the peo-ple who have this privilege never actually bothered to vote. Next time you think you are too tired to vote or the ole excuse of it doesn’t matter ... think of that vet-eran with no legs, or the

one who is blind, and may-be the one who covered your back with his/her life and gave you a chance to grumble about your voting choices — and then vote.

Scholarships, financial aidavailable to VC students

SAN ANTONIO — The Eagle Ford Shale is bringing incredible economic benefits throughout Texas, but it is also bringing a few complex challenges as well. More than 1,000 key community, industry, education, business and workforce development leaders are expected to gather for the third annual Eagle Ford Consor-tium Conference at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, 200 E. Market St., April 21-23.

“Tremendous infrastructure has been laid and a lot of activ-ity has taken place since our first conference,” said Leodoro Martinez Jr., executive director for Middle Rio Grande Develop-

ment Council and chairman of Eagle Ford Consortium. “Still, there seems to be a lot of work in front of us. We are looking at a sustainable approach. The con-sortium conference gives us time to confer and plan to do things right.”

According to the University of Texas at San Antonio Economic Impact Study, shale development has generated over $61 billion and 116,000 full-time jobs for the 20-county region in 2012 and forecasts $89 billion and 127,000 jobs for the 20-county region by 2022.

Many of the issues Martinez mentioned are being addressed at

the consortium this year: trans-portation safety, housing, road improvements, workforce de-velopment and monitoring how Mexico will become a stakehold-er in shale play.

High-caliber political, academ-ic and private sector specialists will provide a forum for discus-sion. Among those scheduled to appear are Red McCombs En-terprises Owner Red McCombs, President North America Shale Production BHP Billiton Petro-leum Rod Skaufel, Chairman of the Texas Water Development Board Carlos Rubinstein, Cono-coPhillips’ Unconventional Res-ervoirs Technology Program

General Manager Greg Leveille, and San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro and many others.

Individuals wishing to sponsor the conference should visit eagl-efordconsortium.org or contact Cindy Taylor at (210) 912-5868. Registration is $225 for individu-als. Hotel reservations are avail-able on the conference website.

The Eagle Ford Consortium represents 20 South Texas coun-ties who collaborate, partner and address the community realities that will be a result of the Eagle Ford Shale oil and gas explora-tion and plans for the sustainable future of those communities.

Victoria College students who are eligi-ble for more than 100 scholarships admin-istered through the Victoria College Foun-dation face a priority deadline of Thursday, March 6 to apply.

More than $300,000 will be awarded by the VC Foundation for the 2014-15 aca-demic year.

“I often talk to students who don’t think they qualify for scholarships because of one reason or another,” said Cynthia Viv-ian, VC financial specialist. “The fact is, often these students do qualify.”

There many different types of scholar-ships available to VC students, and the eli-gibility criteria vary for each, such as:

• Students with financial need• Those pursuing degrees or certification

in specific fields, such as Allied Health, Business, Computer Information Systems, or Process Technology

• Students who live in a designated coun-ty

• Returning VC students or high school students

Most scholarships range from $800-$1,000 divided between two semesters.

To be eligible for a scholarship, students must:

• Apply and be accepted to Victoria Col-lege

• Must have (and maintain) a minimum GPA of 2.5 or higher

• Answer all application questions. Some questions are applicable to specific scholar-ships.

“Our scholarship application consists of 15 questions that attempt to give us a picture of who the student is,” said Vivian. “We are always looking for good applicants and encourage all students to complete the application.”

To access the scholarship application, students should login to the Pirate Portal at VictoriaCollege.edu, open the Financial Aid & Scholarships folder, select the cur-rent Scholarship Application available and complete the 15 questions.

For questions regarding the scholarship application, contact theCollege Advance-ment Office at (361) 582-2421.

Students are also strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA) application at Fafsa.ed.gov. This will help determine if students are eli-gible for other aid.

Federal Student Aid, a part of the U.S. Department of Education, is the largest provider of student financial aid in the na-tion. At the office of Federal Student Aid, our 1,200 employees help make college ed-ucation possible for every dedicated mind by providing more than $150 billion in fed-eral grants, loans, and work-study funds each year to more than 15 million students paying for college or career school.

Early Voting starts Feb. 18th • Primary Mar. 4thPol. ad paid for by Carole Rieley

general elections, the primary elections are the exclusive domain of the local party chairmen — but much of the work is still done by the Clerk’s office as elections ad-ministrator. She said this primary has been especially frustrating.

“I don’t know whether to scream or to cry,” she said.

While paying for the 2012 ballots has been one issue, another issue has been finding volunteers to man the Democrat-ic boxes at the polls. Republican precinct election judges handled both parties’ bal-loting in the 2012 primaries.

Reidel said Wednesday morning she has been contacted by several individuals who plan to help man the Democratic Party lo-cations on Election Day, and to help count ballots.

Early voting in Gonzales County for the March 4 primary election began Tuesday, Feb. 18 and will run through 4:30 p.m. Fri-day, Feb. 28.

As of Wednesday morning, 53 votes had been cast by personal appearance in the Replican Primary at the county’s three early-voting locations. The County Clerk’s office reported 178 early ballots by mail had been requested. Of those early votes, 32 were cast in Waelder, two in Nixon and 32 in Gonzales.

Gonzales County voters may cast early ballots in person at the Courthouse Annex, 1709 Sarah Dewitt Dr. (across from the old Walmart), the City Building in Nixon (100 W. 3rd St.) and the City Building in Waelder (300 Hwy 90W). Voting hours are 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Applications for ballots by mail have been available since Jan. 3 and will remain available through Feb. 21 (received, not postmarked). Ballots by mail must be re-ceived by the county elections department by Election Day.

Senate Bill 14 created a requirement for voters to show a photo ID when casting ballots in person. This law went into effect in June, 2013. The list of acceptable forms of photo ID include:

• Texas driver’s license or Texas identifi-cation card;

• Texas concealed handgun license;• U.S. passport;• U.S. military identification card;• U.S. citizenship card with photo.These items must be current/valid or not

expired by more than 60 days. If you do not have one of these forms of ID, you may ap-ply for a free election identification certifi-cate from the Department of Public Safety driver’s license office.

feel like the people who help us raise funds by buying lights, they’re the ones who re-ally need to be thanked.”

Glenda Gordon of teh GCHA explained that the lighting being installed won’t be typical “spotlight” lighting. Instead, she said, the lights will be softer and will be directed so as to accent and enhance the grounds rather than simply to light things up.

“It should give the building a very nice profile,” she said.

It’s one step in a project to provide more

enhancement lighting in the city’s down-town area.

“I can’t begin to say how excited we are to partner with the Spade & Trowel Gar-den Club on this,” GCHA’s Sandra Wolff said. “We are determined that this is going to be the most important, unique square in Texas.

Gonzales County Judge David Bird called the project a “very nice first step,” while Mayor Bobby Logan said the en-hancement continues to put a focus on the downtown area.

There were two errors in a story on the Gonzales ISD Board of Trustees meeting in last week’s Gonzales Cannon.

Ms. Betty Johnson’s complaint against GISD’s fan-conduct policies involved an incident in January, not December; she was asked to leave the gym area, not the campus. The comments from Janice Sex-ton were made as a concerned citizen,

not as a GISD staff member.The Cannon regrets both errors.

+++++In the Feb. 13 edition of The Gonzales

Cannon, a candidate’s name was inad-vertently misspelled. The Pct. 3 Justice of the Peace challenger is Kelly Allen, not Kenny.

The Cannon regrets the error.

On this day in 1874, after considering a challenge from his Democratic opponents, the Texas Senate confirmed the election of Walter Moses Burton. Burton was brought to Texas as a slave from North Carolina in 1850 at the age of twenty-one. He belonged to a Fort Bend planter, Thomas Burke Burton, who taught him how to read and write, skills that served him well in later years. After the Civil War Burton became one of the wealthi-est and most influential blacks in Fort Bend County. He became involved in politics as early as 1869, when he was elected sheriff and tax collector of Fort Bend County, and

served as the president of the Fort Bend County Union League. In 1873 Burton cam-paigned for and won a seat in the Texas Sen-ate, where he served for seven years, from 1874 to 1875 and from 1876 to 1882. In the Senate he championed the education of blacks. Among the many bills that he helped push through was one that called for the es-tablishment of Prairie View Normal School (now Prairie View A&M University). When he left the Senate in 1882 Burton was given an ebony and gold cane for his service in that chamber. He remained active in state and lo-cal politics until his death in 1913.

Well it looks like we have meandered through a lot of Valentines wishes. Some of them were not as elaborate as others. However, I like to think that a little boy’s or girl’s crayon made card pleased you just as much as a beautiful bouquet of roses. Now I have to settle down to reality and face the music of taxes. They say that there is “death and taxes” and I have about decided that I am almost floundering somewhere in between. There is one piece of information I need and the appraisal district even has that folder pulled out. So I have to wait until they find it.

I think my Papa Red-bird has hit a high note out there and won his gal. They can do the most wonder-ful singing. A couple de-cided to sit on top of Sweet Pea’s house to eat the food we have on top and sing. I think the pecking must have spaced out Sweet Peas’ nerves. She went bal-

listic. Those birds can really get with it when they husk those sun flower seed.

Don’t forget the Belmont Ladies Club will meet on Monday for their luncheon of the year at the White Wall a little before noon on the 24th. Now this is a dif-ferent date and time then our regular meeting time. The White Wall is a Chi-nese place next to Wing Stop in Seguin a little ways down from where Pizza Hut used to be.

Oh the Girl Scout Cook-ies are out and have cookies for sale. There is a scarcity of cookie sellers this year. I seem to have better luck over near Luling and that area than East of here. I

managed to snatch a couple of boxes of that peanut but-ter sandwich kind. They are very good.

PRAYER TIME: Judy Wilson, Rhonda Pruett, Keith Glass, Linda Denker, Case Martin, Landis Kern, Joe Kotwig, L. A. Linde-mann Jr., Glenn Mikesh, Mr. Bill, Jesse Esparza, Louise Jones, Aunt Geor-gie Gandre, Bill Lott, Rosie, Mrs. Millie, Danny & Joyce Schellenberg, “Sarge” Dunkin, Aunt Frances Gandre, Bubba and Sarah Roecker, Lillie Lay, Joy and Kit Carson, Sandi Gandre, Aunt Betty Gandre, Rita, Teresa Wilke, Marguerite Williams, Marie Schauer, Diana x2, Pat from the Heights, Maria Castillo, Pat’s Bill, Bob Young, Bill Bassett, George Arnold, Esther Lindemann, Anna Lindemann, Shirley Dozi-er, Marilyn Qualls, Doro-thy Svoboda, Mary Perry-man, Bob Brown, Margie Menking, Phyllis Oncken, The family of Lanny Bak-

er, The family of Vera Bell Smock and please pray for our troops and their fami-lies. Pray for RAIN.

I hope that Harrell Fred-erick had a great birthday party on Saturday and that lots of people came out to enjoy the day with him. We had company drop in, which we totally enjoyed, or we might have gone.

Now we need to pray extra prayers for L. A. Lindemann, Jr. His blood counts are bopping around too much for chemo and I think that he had to have a blood transfusion. I don’t know about you, but the Devil had better get go-ing. There is just no need for this. You know I always thought that stupid gall bladder was mostly use-less. It has proven so in this case. So extra prayers are coming your way. We love you and you are needed here on earth.

Gladys and Buster Lin-demann celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniver-

sary last week. All of their kids were in church except Mark who was cooking. Now that comes from six original children and now all of their off spring. That turns out to be quite a big family. Congrats to them. We wish them many more anniversaries.

I guess Will and I won’t ever catch up with them, but that is just the law of mathematics. We celebrat-ed our 47th anniversary today. We went out yester-day and ate an interesting and tasty meal. Thanks to

Joyce Schellenberg for call-ing to wish us Happy Anni-versary. I love to hear from Joyce. Even though she has a lot of low blows in life lately, she is still a joyous lady. She was able to bring Danny home from the Heights for a while. He is so happy to be home and she is happy to have him there. Several more friends came over yesterday and one of them brought a yummy chocolate cake to celebrate. It was very good.

Have a good week and God Bless.

David Lee Schautteet IIIAmber Magallanes and David Schautteet Jr. of Gon-zales are proud to announce the birth of a son, David Lee Schautteet III, “Tripp”, on Friday, January 3, 2014 at 5:57 a.m. at Guadalupe Regional Medical Center in Seguin.

CANNON KID’S CORNER

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, there is more to you

than meets the eye. You enjoy letting others get small glimpses of your true self, but this week they will get a lot of information all at once.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Feeling restless, Taurus?

Spend some time with a hobby that you enjoy, whether that is cooking in the kitchen or build-ing something out in the garage.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Others may have trouble

reading you this week, Gemini. That’s because you are putting forth a few different faces. It is better for all involved if you re-main consistent.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, now is the time to

introduce your family to a spe-cial friend of yours. This person will be received graciously, so there is no need to fret about the meeting.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, when you want to get

something done, it is probably best if you do it yourself this week. This way you can bring your own unique approach to the task at hand.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Cash seems to be flowing out

of your pockets this week, Vir-go. You may want to sit down and make some adjustments to your spending habits so you can get your finances in order.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, your patience is wear-

ing thin, but you need to keep your cool or you could end up in a sticky situation at work. Ride things out until the week-end arrives.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22It isn’t in your makeup to be

meek, Scorpio. If something

needs to be discussed, speak up and let others know your per-spective on the situation.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, a lucky streak has you excited to test your good fortune. Ride this wave, but do not go through all of your mon-ey in one fell swoop. That can spell trouble.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, you have been doing a lot of waiting around, but now your patience is bound to pay off. You just need to wait a little while longer to bear the fruits of your labors.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, a big adventure is

on the horizon. The trouble is, you do not know what to expect and what to bring along for the ride. Things will come into fo-

cus soon.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20You need to take a rest, Pi-

sces. Otherwise, you will burn out very quickly. Friends are urging you to slow down this week.

You might not have heard of American inventor Walter Hunt, but he came up with the ideas for an ice plough, a streetcar bell, an early version of the repeating rifle, artificial stone, the lockstitch sewing machine and a nail-making machine, among other things. One of his smallest and most useful inventions was the safety pin. In the mid-1800s, Hunt owed a friend $15. In order to come up with the cash to settle the debt, he decided to invent something. He picked up an 8-inch piece of brass wire he had on hand and made a coil in the middle of it, creating the spring action

to open it. He then devised a clasp at one end to shield the user from the sharp point. After the device was patented in 1849, Hunt sold the patent to W.R. Grace and Company for $400, leaving himself with $385 after he paid the initial $15 debt. Incidentally, W.R. Grace and Company made millions of dollars from sales of the safety pin.

WIMBERLEY — While it may not have been a high-scoring game, it was still a great victory for the Moulton BobKittens.

Moulton (19-10) dis-patched Richland Springs, 41-21, Friday night in the Class 1A Division 2 area round at Wimberley High School.

“This is a big win for us,” BobKittens head coach John Meitsetschleager said. “Our goal was to win in the playoffs instead of just qualifying.”

“We played hard but got in foul trouble. We are go-ing to need to work on that.”

Moulton forged a five-point lead at the end of the first frame and quickly made two buckets at the start of the second quarter to take a double-digit lead.

Just a couple of minutes into that quarter, Moulton possessed the ball just past halfcourt.

And dribbled in place for about 20 or 30 seconds.

Meitsetschleager ex-plained it was an adjust-ment to the defense the Lady Coyotes were run-ning at the time.

“They were in zone and

had all five girls in the paint,” he said. “I was going to make them come out of that zone even if the final score was 14-4 (the score at the time). I was not go-ing to try to force anything inside.”

The BobKittens got a three pointer from Malori Mitchon and a two-point shot from Bethany Braeuer to open the game with a 5-4 lead.

Two baskets from Grai-syn Nieto put Moulton ahead 9-4 at the end of the first frame.

The BobKittens contin-ued the run into the second quarter as Mitchon drained another three-point basket and then got a steal and fed Taylor Bohuslav for a two-point field goal to push Moulton ahead 14-4.

A Richland Springs shot was rebounded by Kend-all Kristynik and Bohuslav took the pass and went past midcourt

The Lady Coyotes re-treated into the paint in their zone defense and Bo-huslav stood still and held the ball.

Eventually, Richland Springs came outside the paint and Moulton re-sumed attacking the bas-ket. A little later, Jordan Gossett made a couple of free throws followed by

baskets from Hailee Ash-worth and Marci Martin brought Richland Springs within 16-10.

Mitchon and Han-nah Perez sank a three to give the BobKittens eight straight points and a 24-10

halftime lead.In the third quarter, Mi-

tchon bagged four points to lead Moulton on a minor

6-5 run to take a 30-15 lead into the fourth quarter.

Lady Apaches drophome opener toIndustrial CobrasBy MARK [email protected]

The Gonzales defense did all it could but succumbed to the solid hitting of the Industrial Lady Cobras in a 15-0 win in three innings Tuesday evening at Lady Apache Field.

The Lady Cobras came into the top of the third inning with a single run on just a pair of hits. They batted around, collecting 11 hits and two home runs, and were assisted with five Gonzales errors to plate 14 runs

“Industrial is a very good hitting team,” Gonzales head coach Amanda Par-sons said. “We did every-thing we could to throw strikes. And the defense did not back up the pitchers.”

Parsons said Gonzales will not have a game until next Tuesday.

“We need to just get back to work,” she said.

In the opening inning, Gonzales got two quick outs as Industrial flew out to shortstop Kendra Wil-liams. Jornie Jones got a single to left field and Brit-tany Berger had a shot all the way out to center field which was cleanly fielded by Carla Torres.

SEGUIN — The Gonza-les Lady Apaches had the Canyon Lake Lady Hawks on the ropes late in the game until Canyon Lake ripped off seven runs, tak-ing an 11-6 win in Gonza-les’ first game of the Navar-ro Tournament Thursday afternoon at Huber Ranch in Seguin.

“We did some things good and we did some things really bad,” Gon-zales head coach Amanda Parsons said. “I thought my pitcher Tori Lester came out and played hard, battled hard and pitched a really good game. “

“We can use every excuse in the book. We are young, this was our first game with everybody. But the main thing is we just got beat. We were not ready to play. That is nobody’s fault, just the way it was

Gonzales’ Feb. 11 opener with Luling was cancelled because of weather.

The Lady Apaches (0-1) started off well in the score-book with a trio of runs in the top of the first inning.

Skylea Tatsch drew a two-out walk and later stole seconds. She went all the way home on the base hit by Karina Vara.

Kristeny Magallanes then placed a triple into the left field to score Vara and Gonzales led 2-0. She later

scored on the error that let Lester get on base.

Lester struck out the leadoff batter, Alexis Rob-inson, but Carly Dubois earned a walk and Kelsey Aban took base on the passed ball. Dubois scored on the single by Tee Kacir. Kat Weber put the ball into play and Gonzales tried unsuccessfully to pick off Aban at third, getting We-ber on.

Emma Broussary had a bunt sacrifice to score Aban and Kacir later scored on the fielder’s choice.

Weber went home on the hit by Danielle Bustamant, giving Canyon Lake a 4-3 advantage.

Gonzales fought back in the top of the fourth to surge ahead 5-4. Sheridan Tate and Kendra Williams drew walks before Canyon Lake rallied for two straight outs. Tatsch got a single, sending Tate and Williams home for scores.

Things unraveled a little for Gonzales in the bottom of the inning — Robinson got a leadoff hit and Aban powered a ball over the center wall for a two-run homer. Kacir then put the ball into play and went all the way to third on an er-ror. Pinch hitter Briana Young tripled to right field to score Kacir for a 7-5 Canyon Lake lead.

The Lady Hawks took advantage of some Gonza-

les errors to bring in four more runs.

The Lady Apaches scored once more in the fifth in-ning. Sara Swanson got a one-out triple and came home on the Lester base hit.

“Nixon-Smiley’s guards are strong,” Lady Brahmas head coach Amy Powell said. “They shoot the ball very well. We knew we would have our work cut out for us tonight.”

“The girls knew this game would be tough.”

Whenever the Lady Mustangs got tough, Hal-lettsville got tougher.

“I was very pleased with our tenacity,” Powell said. “Nixon-Smiley would go on a run and then we

would go on a run. We did not crumble.”

While being out-re-bounded by the Lady Brah-mas, Nixon-Smiley got some turnovers and sank a good number of shots.

“I thought we played hard. We battled and fought,” Lady Mustangs head coach Jeff Van Auken said. “We gave ourselves a chance to win the ball game.”

Having already played the Lady Brahmas twice in the regular season, Van Auken and his charges knew what to expect.

“We knew they were tall-er than us a little and they played good basketball,” Van Auken said.

The Lady Mustangs used two triples from Megan Guerra and a bucket from Tyhanna Mejia to take an early 8-2 lead.

Hallettsville came back to 8-6 on two free throws and a field goal by Emma Wick.

Alena Alvarez and Sa-vannah Martinez dropped in a bucket each to give the Lady Mustangs four straight points.

In the second frame, Nixon-Smiley managed to grab a 22-21 and Halletts-ville answered with seven of the next eight points.

The Lady Brahmas con-tinued the hot streak with a 10-3, getting four points from Wick and contribu-tions by Imari Grant and Heather Henneke.

Hallettsville went up 44-31 in the third quarter then

Nixon-Smiley got hot — Brooke Hester made a bas-ket from the pass of Lexi Trammell, Martinez scored

two baskets, Mejia made a free throw and hit three baskets, including a three, to help bring the Lady

Mustangs to within 50-45 at the end of the third.

Led by seven points from Howell, Hallettsville fin-ished the job with a 21-7 scoring run in the final eight minutes.

LULING — The Luling cross country program continues its tradition of developing runners to compete at higher levels.

Boys runners Danny Castillo and Brian Guerre-ro, and Lady Eagle Kristaly Munoz all signed letters of intent on Feb. 10 at the Luling High School Gym.

Castillo and Guerrero will join former Luling multi-sport standout Car-ley Glass at West Texas A&M in Canyon to com-pete in cross country while Munoz will attend Dallas Baptist University.

“I think it is going to be a bright future for me in WTAMU cross country and track programs,” Cas-tillo said. “With the guys

on the team, I will have a lot of potential to do something special.”

Castillo also checked out Southwest Assemblies of God University (SAGU) in Waxahachie, near Dal-las and Texas State in near-by San Marcos.

“I liked West Texas the best,” Castillo said.

He said his goal was to make the WTAMU Varsity squad and compete at the national championships.

Castillo said he is look-ing at majoring in biology or education.

“I think running at West Texas A&M is a great op-portunity and I am ap-preciative of all the people that helped me get to this point,” Guerrero said.

Several other schools sent Guerrero letters, ex-

pressing their interest in his running abilities.

“I feel going to West Texas A&M is the best choice for me,” he said. “I will work hard and do what the coaches tell me to do, and see what happens.”

Guerrero will be among a few familiar faces in Cas-tillo and Glass.

“That will make it that much better,” he said.

Guerrero said he is in-terested in pursuing a career in teaching and coaching.

Munoz will be headed toward north Texas to take part in the cross country and track programs at Dal-las Baptist University.

“It feels great to sign with Dallas Baptist,” she said. “I like the Christian environment at the school

and the size of the campus. It just feels like I should be there. Plus, my brother George attends there as well.”

Munoz will be looking

to improve her running times while in college.

“I want to improve my 5K and 6K pace to six-minute miles,” she said. “I hope I can help them make

nationals this year. They were so close last year.”

She said she is consid-ering majoring in math-ematics or mathematics education.
