The indictment accusing Belinda Walker of 13 counts of theft was dismissed Tuesday in the Gonzales County 25th Judicial Court. Assistant county attorney Keri Miller asked for the dismissal in order to move forward on a new indictment she wrote against Walker, which was returned on Sept. 12 by
way of doing the indictment. The new indictment accuses Walker, 50 of Gonzales, of committing theft by a public servant $20,000 but less than $100,000. The charge is still connected with the crimes that are alleged to have taken place between February of 2009 and June of 2011 when funds were found to be missing from Walkers former employer, The City of Gon-
zales Parks & Recreation Department. Nothing from the case was dropped, explained Miller. In fact, more dates were looked at and it was widened up a little bit. During our investigation we discovered some additional allegations that werent included in the original 13 counts. I wanted to COURT, Page A7

The Gonzales High School Cheerleaders elected to assist unfunded women with mammograms and or breast biopsies by donating to Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation. The girls were excited to support our local hospital foundation in an effort to save lives, said Michele Dolezal, cheerleader sponsor. This year all monies raised through their tee-shirt sales, Apaches for a Cure, will be given to defray expenses for women unable to pay for mammograms and or breast biopsies. It is exciting to know all the monies raised by this effort will stay in our local community and assist those women in need. Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation Director, Connie L. Kacir, said we are honored and humbled by the hearts of these young ladies deciding to elect supporting the health of women from our community. Their dedication to assist in saving lives for the women of Gonzales County speaks volumes to the level of their commitment to community. If you are interested in supporting the efforts of this fundraiser, Apaches for a Cure, or would like to make a tax deductible contribution to this cause, please contact Michele Dolezal at 830-857-1771 or Connie L. Kacir at 830-857-3932. All Apache fans are encouraged to wear your Apaches for a Cure shirts to the games on October 11th and October 18th. Dolezal said, she is hoping to pack the stands in pink at these games and show the Apaches are fighting for a cure against breast cancer!

We have a water well that is not in operation right now and we need a backup source of water, said City Manager Eloise Estes. Theres a lot of activity going on and a lot of moving in and around the area, and people are requesting things like water hookups and bulk water. SMILEY, Page A7

Got a flea in your ear? Dealing with irritating things

I cant begin to tell you the times my mother warned me Dont ever put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear! That was very wise advice. But it seems that there is a lot of good advice out there that is easier said than done. My ears have been the cause of irritation for quite a while now. For years there has been an almost continual itch in my ears that must be scratched. (Some of you know what Im talking about). The need to scratch is overwhelming, even to the point of waking me up in the middle of the night. There have been times that it feels like something has crawled into my ear and is walking around. (Should I tell you how my mind goes wild thinking what if it is a bug and it lays an egg? What if the egg hatches?) No, maybe I shouldnt go there. What would you think of me??? Anyway, about 11 years ago I was scratching that infernal itch with a Q-tip when

suddenlywith Ninja quicknessthe Q-tip slipped down my ear canal and slammed into my eardrum. The immediate result of my transgression was an intense, but short-lived, pain. This would be good news except that the pain was replaced by a very high-pitched screechwhich has screamed incessantly in my ear every day, all day long since that fateful day. Allergy season makes the piercing sound much louder, but the noise never goes away. This assault to my hearing capabilities drove me to near hysteria for the first month or so. But, with no other option left but to go insane, I worked very hard at learning to ignore it. And, my efforts paid off. The sound is still there, but I dont hear it unless I decide to fo-
cus on it. This was a very hard lesson for me to learn. Infuriatingly, I keep forgetting the lesson and find myself scratching my ear on certain occasions. This is cause for some concern for me, as well as for my husband, who is constantly bringing the habit to my attention anytime it rears its ugly head. So, I determined to do whatever it took to stop this dangerous preoccupation of mine before I end up with another ear infection or inflict permanent damage to my other ear. I decided to tackle this scientifically. I took a notepad and titled the sheet How to Quit Hurting Myself , and decided that the first thing on my list was to determine the cause of itchy ears, after which, I would research known remedies to alleviate the problem. My discoveries were very illuminating to say the least. A Google search for What causes irritation of the ears? came up with 10 common
reasons for this condition. They are: 1. Dry Skin 2. Swimmers ear. Caused by trapped water in the ear. This can happen by simply taking a shower or swimming in lake water. 3. Too little wax or too much ear wax. Ear wax, or cerumen, protects the skin of the ear canal. It keeps the canal clean and resists bacterial infection. 4. Over zealous attempts to remove cerumen by over cleaning. 5. Allergies. 6. Overuse of cotton swabs. 7. Skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. 8. Hearing aids. 9. A bug in the ear. 10. (and my personal favorite)...Psychological conditions will result in various itching episodes, including the ears. Next I searched for the definition of irritation. I found some very interesting expressions that are used to describe the word irritation. I consider the second one especially ap-
propriate in my particular case. 1. thorn in the flesh: A source of constant irritation, affliction, or inconvenience; a perpetual pain-in-the-neck. This expression used to refer to self-imposed suffering because a sect of Pharisees placed thorns in the hem of their cloaks to prick their legs while walking to make themselves bleed. The expression now refers to objectionable external conditions or bloodsucking acquaintances. 2. flea in the ear: Discontent or uneasiness caused by a broad hint or warning, especially one which arouses suspicion. Restlessness caused by an unexpected or undesired reply, usually one which is a vicious or humiliating rebuff or reproach. I began to wonder how this might apply to me and asked myself... When do my ears itch the most? Hmm. Guess what? My ears bother me the most when something I hear annoys me. Could it be that when the mind is annoyed,
the spirit is irritated and the body reacts? So now what? Irritation with situations and/or people will always be a part of life in one degree or another. It seems that I have only two options when things irritate me. 1. I can allow things to annoy me, scratch to oblivion and risk further injury. 2. I can learn to handle my emotions by going to my happy place. Ive decided to continue working on the latter. With Gods help I will get a better handle on my frustration when things dont go as I anticipate, or when people dont treat me as I think they should. This will save me from a lot of needless irritation. This will also keep me from experiencing any further ear-itation. My problem is forestalled. How about you? Got a flea in your ear? God keep you safe till next time love, eloise www.loveeloise.com
Saturn Friendship Club News

By EVA BOSCAMP
Special to The Cannon
As members of The Saturn Friendship Club drove Farm to Market roads to the Cistern Schoolhouse on September 16, they were watching the sky. The clouds all around seemed to hold an opportunity for some much needed rain. They could only hope it would come. When they arrived at the meeting place, they were greeted by Della Mae Urban and Penny Snyder, hostesses for the afternoon. A large papier-mch pumpkin and other items associated with Autumn decorated the meeting table. A time of visiting was enjoyed as the members arrived and told of the trips they had taken, the rain they had or had not received in the past month and plans for the coming cooler Fall days. Cards for members not present because of health problems were circulated and notes of encouragement were written. At one oclock the president Sue Kalinec tapped her gavel and called the meeting to order. Nancy Littlefield, devotional leader was asked to give a blessing for the food. The serving table held Della Maes delicious chicken spaghetti, crackers, corn chips, sausage, toss green salad, with a variety of dressings. Tempting des-
serts were Pennys Zebra Cake topped with cream cheese frosting and party pearls and Jos pretzels topped with chocolate. Drinks of choice were also offered. During the time the meal was being enjoyed, Elizabeth Brosch introduced her guest Sharon Friedrich, who lives in the Cistern community. When everyone had finished the satisfying meal the business session began. All stood, faced the flag of the United States of America and recited the Pledge to the Flag. When seated, Nancy Littlefield brought a Devotional taken from Guideposts for Grandmothers. It was based on the verse And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not - Isaiah 42:16. It told of how Phyllis Hobe took her German Shepherd for long walks in Philadelphias Fairmount Park so that Kate could enjoy an off-leash run. This had happened so many times that Phyllis came to know the trail by heart. One day a friend accompanied them. The two were so busy talking they didnt notice where they were going until her friend looked at her watch and remarked she needed to head back. That is when Phyllis realized she was not familiar with the trail they were on. They were surrounded by woods and couldnt see far ahead. After trying sev-
eral times to retrace their steps, they realized they had lost their sense of direction. Phyllis stopped and thought for a minute and realized if anyone knew the way back it was Kate. She looked at Kate and said, Kate take us home! Kate was eager to lead the way. After a while both ladies knew it was not the way they had come. But Kate was full of confidence and kept looking back to see if they were following. Suddenly, they came out of the woods and into a large meadow. Looking down they could see the parking lot. Kate had known where she was going all the time. It just wasnt the way they had come. It seemed it was a better way to get back. Since that time Phyllis said she always tried to remember that when she asked God for guidance - she had to trust Him to know which way was the best way for her. Even if she hadnt gone that way before. Nancy ended with a prayer, Lead us, dear Jesus, because Your way is always better than our way. She added a request for strength and healing for the members unable to attend for health reasons. Also for persons ill, worried or stressed and for our national crisis. Roll Call was answered by members naming their favorite Fall color. They included gold, copper, yellow, warm brown, orange,
pumpkin, purple, red, maroon and bright blue skies. Secretary Sandy Parr read the minutes of the August meeting and gave the treasurers report. Both were approved and accepted as read. Eva Boscamp read a segment from Sandi Gandres Country Fried News column in which she mentioned the enjoyable activities of the Friendship Club. Sandis comments were appreciated. Members were asked to be thinking about what they wanted to do as the clubs Christmas Project. The date of the November meeting was changed from November 11 to November 18. The location will be held will be decided at the October meeting. Other
timely business of the club was discussed. Jo Brunner extended an invitation to attend the Fayette County Farm Bureau Convention to be held in the K.C. Hall on October 24 in La Grange. Noted speakers will bring timely news of interest to the farmers and ranchers of the area. She also sent out a call for volunteers to join the Muldoon and Cistern Volunteer Fire Department. Mary Kelly announced that beginning on the First Sunday in October (October 6) and on the First Sunday of each following month at 2 p.m., there will be Game Day at the Cistern Schoolhouse for anyone who would like to come and enjoy playing
games of cards or dominoes, including Mexican Train and Chickenfoot. The meeting was adjourned and games of Backwards Bingo were played until everyone had won a prize. The door prize was won by Elizabeths guest, Sharon Friedrich, who was invited to join the Club. She accepted and became the newest member. The next meeting will be at 1 p.m. on October 21 at the Cistern Schoolhouse with Sue Kalinec and Mary Kelly serving as hostesses. No rain drops fell during the meeting but some of the members had the pleasure of using their windshield wipers on their trip back home.

The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has begun an attack on the First Amendment. It is yet another assault on our Constitutional rights by the progressive movement, clearly partisan in nature and intended to subvert criticism of a federal government which is increasingly acting more like a socialist dictatorship rather than the elected will of the people. The committee voted to pass a media shield bill which defines who qualifies as a member of the press and thus qualifies for the First Amendments protection of a free press. Written and promoted by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., it was introduced disguised as a measure to protect real journalists from spying by our government in the wake of the Associated Press and James Rosen spy scandals. But attempting to define a journalist as only members of established news organizations leads to multiple implications which clearly abridge the freedom of the press the First Amendment protects. Allowing govenment to define who qualifies as a journalist effectively politicizes the news media. A reporter for the New York Times is every bit as much a member of the news media as some 22-year-old whos printing a weekly flyer out of his garage; in many cases these days, the semiamateur reporter is likely to be more factually accurate than someone trained by and paid by progressive globalists like George Soros to manipulate the news and public opinion. Progressives are threatened by the explosion of Web-based reporting because an overwhelming number of alternative news media tends to report in conservative or libertarian fashion. They have tried to impose restrictions on Internet use and content hardly what youd expect of people concerned with freedom. Now theyre trying new ways to limit our freedom of expression to deflect criticism away from the illegal and unconstitutional actions of an Executive Branch run amok. This media shield law is unnecessary. We already have one which trumps it: the First Amendment guarantees that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Danger of Russian exceptionalism

In his instantly notorious New York Times op-ed, Vladimir Putin was much too modest. At the end, he argued no country is truly exceptional. He, of all people, shouldnt be so dismissive. Russian exceptionalism is one of the profoundest forces in world history. Without it, not nearly as many people would have been sunk in tyranny for centuries, casually sacrificed to the whims of their rulers, and immiserated. It has been the basis for the absolute power of czars and of Soviet dictators, and its spirit lives on in the amoral, lawless rule of Russias top opinion writer. If you want to understand the essence of American exceptionalism, you can quote Patrick Henry or the Declaration of Independence. If you want a taste of the Russian version, you can do worse than the anecdote about Czar Nicholas II -- fated to suffer an ugly end at the hands of the communists -- who was asked by a Western diplomat about regaining public confidence. The czar wanted to know whether he was supposed to regain the confidence of the people, or the other way around? Throughout its history, Russia has labored under what the historian David Satter calls the quasideification of the Russian state, its special mission

overawing picayune considerations of individual liberty or dignity. Given its geographic vulnerability, with Mongol or Turkish invaders perpetually threatening, the Russian state required a vast military establishment and universal conscription. Under these conditions, historian Richard Pipes writes, there could be no society independent of the state. ... The entire Russian nation was enserfed: there was room here neither for a privileged aristocracy, nor for a class of self-governing burghers, nor yet for a rural yeomanry. In the West, private property constituted a check on the power of government absolutism. In Russia, the monarch owned the entire realm up until the late 18th century, so there was no need to convene a parliament to exact taxes -and no leverage for the kind of revolt against the crown that forged the Magna Carta in England. People did gain political
and civil rights in the early 20th century. Almost immediately they were snuffed out again in a violent revolution. It brought to power a mass-murdering dictatorship that sought the utter destruction of every hint of life independent of the state. Vladimir Putin may scorn American exceptionalism, but we have a deep-rooted inheritance of liberty. As James Bennett and Michael Lotus demonstrate in their new book, America 3.0, American exceptionalism is a centuries-old phenomenon growing out of organic English roots: the nuclear family, common law, representative government, constitutional limits on the state, and private ownership of land. It makes for a political culture hostile to autocracy and therefore deeply at odds with Russian exceptionalism. Speaking of Russia, the 19th-century Russian philosopher Pyotr Chaadaev wrote, people always imagine that they are speaking of a country that is like the others. In fact, it is not so at all. Russia is a whole separate world, submissive to the will, caprice, fantasy of one man -- no matter whether he be called Peter or Ivan. Or, he must imagine and hope, Vladimir.

Why investigations take so long

Last week we left off at the point in our imaginary sexual assault investigation where we had completed our local agency investigation and forwarded it to the prosecutors office. Now that our investigation has been packaged and forwarded to the prosecutors office there are still details that require our attention. First, we are waiting for our DPS Crime Lab reports. It is crucial that we stay in routine contact with our prosecutors office and give them status updates on the analysis of the evidence submitted, as well as any new developments in the case. The results from these reports can take quite a long time to receive. For instance, the results of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing can take anywhere from six to nine months for the local agency to receive. Fingerprint comparisons generally take anywhere from six weeks to two months. Document testing can take anywhere from one month to six months, depending on the forensic scientists work load. Let me say a word here about these hard working folks. The Texas Department of Public Safetys Crime Laboratory scientists, laboratory technicians, and intake personnel really do earn their money! Like most, if not all, of the people involved in a criminal investigation, they are overworked and underpaid. They are very highly trained and skilled professionals who have a real passion for their jobs. Now, while we wait for the results of our forensic testing, we need to keep up with the victim(s) and ensure that they are aware of all of the resources available to violent crime victims in Texas. The resources available to victims through the Crime Victims Compensation Fund is amazing! For a good summary of the available benefits go to the Waelder Police Departments home page at www.waelderpd.com and on the

top menu hover your mouses cursor over the General Information menu choice. Select the Crime Victims button from the drop down menu. This section contains a good explanation of crime victims rights in Texas. The Texas Crime Victims Fund is administered through the Texas Office of the Attorney General and more information may be obtained by going to their home page at https:// oag.state.tx.us and selecting the Crime Victims button from the top menu. It is also important that we remain in contact with the victim for several other reasons: Crime victims often feel isolated from fam ily and friends as a result of their experiences. Many times they are threatened by friends or family members of the perpetrator. Witness tampering and retaliation are serious crimes in the state of Texas and must not be tolerated by the victim, or any law enforcement agency. The prosecutors office, as well as the local law enforcement agency, needs to have up-todate contact information for the victim. To reassure the victim that they have not been forgotten. Next time, well continue our close examination of the criminal justice system by taking a look at this process from the point of view of the prosecutor.
the Karl Roves and the Joe Strauses have not treated you with respect. And as a result, many of you have allied yourselves with a party whose politics you abhor, but which welcomes your votes with open arms. My friends, theres a new wave washing through todays conservative movement in Texas, one that is less concerned about creating political career opportunities for a few rich people, and more concerned about saving our country from socialist tyranny. Its composed of people like yourselves people who work for a living, people who believe in the value of loyalty, people who dont care what color your skin is or whether you look just like them. And unlike the RINOS, the Republicans in Name Only, we want you. The news media, controlled by the Left, says that Hispanics are almost universally Democrat voters. We beg to differ. We have more in common than we are different from one another. I ask you: are you REALLY progressives? Do you think its right that you work hard and pay high taxes, then see your tax money going to people who live comfortably by NOT working? Do you think its right that perverts get preferential treatment from government, but its OK to discriminate against, boycott and hate you for standing by your convictions, morals and religious beliefs? Do you think its right to kill babies in the womb, but let drug dealers, child murderers and rapists walk free because the death penalty is cruel? Do you think its right for millions of foreigners to break into our house, take our jobs, over-load our social benefit system, use our resources -- and then demand the right to stay, free of charge? Look at all the policies and divisiveness practiced by the progressives, pitting this group against that, fostering hatred and discord. Is that really the kind of country that you served honorably to defend? Is that really the kind of country you want to leave for your children, their children and their childrens children? The saying goes that in America, were all immigrants. Well, you and us were not immigrants. We were born here. Were Texans. Were Tejanos. Its OUR country. And we need to stand together and take it back from the progressives.
Back to Iraq: starting a new assignment downrange

Dispatch From Downrange IRAQ My travel here was, well a trip, no pun intended. The journey started at 3 a.m. in Jordan. I was escorting three dogs besides my partner, Mad. We loaded the dogs, crates and all, along with my gear and headed to the airport. I had to depend on a minder to get things arranged, as I didnt know the rules or procedures in Jordan. Once at the airport, along with the help of a couple baggage handlers, we unloaded the dogs and headed to the ticket counter. I have to tell you that four dogs in the Jordanian airport is not a normal event. Customs, health officials, security, baggage handlers, and officials from Royal Jordanian airline all had a say and a different thing or paper they wanted. Taking care of the paperwork, we headed to the oversize baggage checkin. There, the dogs had to be removed from their carriers and the cages X-rayed. The culture here is not a dog culture like we are in the States, so when I got a dog out everyone got very nervous. Now three of the dogs were not especially vicious looking, two Springer Spaniels and one black Lab, but when it came time to get Mad, my German Shepherd, out it was a different matter. He showed his protective side and made it clear not to get close to him or me. I calmed him down, but inside I was pretty pleased at my protector. All dogs checked in and I headed to the gate. After a short wait, it was time to board the flight to Bagdad. I noticed there were no other Americans on the flight, but there were a good number of Kenyans going that would be working in the oil fields of Iraq. I heard very little English in the waiting area of on the flight. I had instructions to have one of the flight attendants check that my four dogs were in fact on board. No dogs meant no travel for me. When the attendant came by my seat, I asked her to verify the dogs were loaded. She hurried off to the front and got on the phone. In a minute or two, she returned and told me, in a heavy Russian accent, that my dogs were loaded and ready for the trip. That settled, I relaxed for the two-hour trip. Landing in Bagdad was a first for me. In fact, there were a lot of firsts on this deployment. Once the plane stopped and parked at the ramp I collected my rucksack and headed to the front of the plane to exit. I was stopped by the same attendant and told I had to wait for the man in the first class section to leave first. He was a tall man dressed in the traditional dishdashas, which are long white garments covered by a black abaya, a long over garment, with embroidery. On his head, he wore the yishmaagh, thats a head scarf with an egal, (headband) to hold it on his head. He had two large men dressed in western style suits clearing the way for him. When I got in the airport I saw him again at the passport control in the Diplomat/VIP line. Dont know who he was, but he was clearly being taken care of and treated with much respect. I, on the other hand, was told to go to the visa office and turn in my paperwork. I did this and was directed to a bank of chairs to wait. When I turned in my passport and visa paperwork I was the only one there. Within minutes, dozens of Iraqis and other Arabic nationalities came to the visa office. Two hours later, all of the other people had received their visas and passports. I still sat waiting. I heard a man call out my name and asked if I was from the K-9 company. I said yes and he greeted me and shook my hand. He said he would take care of everything. He went into the visa office and almost immediately returned with my passport and visa. He said his name was Yasir and he was the company escort to get me where I needed to be. To say the least I was relieved. When I followed him through the passport control he seemed to know everyone there. My passport was stamped and I was waved through. Outside he directed me to a van and said we were going to pick up the dogs and that it was all arranged. He already had collected my luggage and it was waiting for me in the van. He was a friendly guy and seemed to really like dogs. He said he had a German Shepherd at his home. That would be very unusual but I took him at his word, I had little choice. We drove through several Iraqi Police checkpoints. They are manned by five or six policemen and an armored car. They check the paperwork, keep their distance from the dogs and after a conversation with my driver they let us continue on

our way. We go to the cargo area and collect the dogs and head to the main entry checkpoint at the airport. On the way, we pass a bad traffic accident. There are police standing around and a man is laying on the ground with his hands outstretched to them. No one seemed in any hurry to help this guy on the ground. I asked Yasir if an ambulance would pick him up? He said probably not. Wow. I told myself, Dont get hurt here. At the checkpoint, he unloaded the dogs and my gear and said the team was on the way to get me. I assumed this would be an organized escort. To my surprise, and a little unnerving, the team was another van and an old pickup truck to carry the dogs. Yasir said to go with them and they would transport me. This was against everything I had been taught. Visions of kidnapping and hostage taking ran through my mind. I knew Yasir was the company man. I had had his name up front so I swallowed and got in the van. We drove through the streets of Bagdad through some of the craziest traffic I have ever seen. The cars all travel at whatever speed they can, obey no traffic laws, disregard all signs and lights and simply try to cut everyone and everything off. How anyone keeps from wrecking I dont know. The drive was supposed to take about 30 minutes but about 10 minutes in, the driver, I dont remember his name, got a call on his cell phone. He hung up and told me we were going to detour and not to worry. He was taking me to a good place. The lump in my throat was getting bigger by the second. Everything bad you have seen on TV about these things was playing out in my head. We made a myriad of lefts and rights and stopped in front of a large solid metal sliding gate. There were two Iraqi guards with AK47s standing at the gate. They were not wearing Iraqi uniforms but were in the normal contractor uniform we all seem to wear. The gate was open about a foot and I could see another guard inside on the phone. Very shortly after the gate opened and we entered. Inside the gate revealed a large compound. There was a high wall all around. I noticed cameras and a guard tower that overlooked the entrance we had come through. We unloaded my gear and the dogs and I waited for what was going to happen next. I was met by a tall man who stuck out his hand and said, You must be Harris. Welcome Mate. His British accent was a relief. I was shown in the villa and to a nice room. The dogs and my gear were brought in and the four dogs were put in the room where I was staying. The Brit explained that I was at a safe house used by the PSD (Personal Security Detail) team that was going to take me the rest of the way, but travel now was impossible due to security conditions. He said we would try tomorrow. I was shown around and met the rest of the guys at the villa. All were either British or Irish. All were contractors and all were very capable at what they did. These guys were shooters whose only job was to transport people from one place to another and get them there no matter what. I had never felt safer. I cant give their names of course or the company they work for or any other info that might jeopardize their missions. Just know they are there. I was told later Id be staying with them a couple of days. I headed to the break room, played a couple games of darts, after all they were British, and watched TV for the next day or two. Two days later, the team leader of the detail I was going with told me we were headed out as soon as it got dark. I was given a set of body armor, briefed on what to do if things went bad, asked my blood type and got in the vehicle. We loaded up in several armored SUVs with bullet resistant glass roll cages and all sorts of communication gear. Everyone in the vehicles was armed, except me. The team leader checked
his radio and we headed out the gate. The next hour was the wildest ride I think I have ever had. The team drove extremely fast. They literally pushed one car that would not yield to them out of the way. The team leader, I was in his car, was in constant communication with the rest of the vehicles in the detail. He would warn of road obstructions, slow cars, people on the side of the road, approaching and merging vehicles, which direction he was turning and anything else he thought was of importance. It was like clockwork. The local cars were everywhere and this team in their big SUVs simply either intimidated the cars to get out of the way or would cut them off. They let no traffic in between any of our vehicles. This was aggressive driving at it best, or worst, depending on how you looked at it.
After about an hour we arrived at Taji Iraq. We processed through the checkpoint and once inside the base, were escorted to where I would be met by yet another team. These guys transferred all my stuff and took me to my final destination, at least for now. I got out of their vehicle and was met by two of my colleagues from San Antonio. I got unloaded and retired to my new home, a 15x15 room. I got Mad and the other dogs taken care of and quickly went to bed. It had been a long day and a trip I wont soon forget. Before I fell asleep, I looked over at my dog who was actually snoring. He was bushed too. Tomorrow starts my new job. Ill let you know how it goes.

I have been wondering about the Leesville Country Fair. So this week I got some information about it. This year it is Saturday, October 12, starting at 10AM at the Methodist Church Grounds at Leesville, Texas. It will start with live entertainment by the Kerr Creek Band and a Country Store and Horse and Buggy Rides. An Opening Ceremony will take place at 11AM.

handmade and beautiful. There will be plenty of all kinds of food to eat. They usually have tamales, frito pie, chili and cornbread, and pies, cakes, etc. It is come rain or shine with two covered pavilions. September has five Sundays so Belmont United Methodist Church has their Breakfast before their singing service. So come and join them in the newly renovated Belmont Community Center for breakfast. Then go into the church and make a joyful noise unto the Lord. PRAYER TIME: Joe Kotwig, Mr. Bill, Jesse Esparza; Bill Lott, Louise Jones, Sandy Ingram, Aunt Georgie Gandre; Danny and Joyce Schellenberg, Sarge Duncan, Rhonda Pruett, Aunt Frances Gandre, Bubba and Sara Roecker, Glenn Mikesh, Lillie Lay, Maria Castillo, Phyllis and Alton Oncken, Selma Vickers, Landis, Keith Glass, Teresa Wilke, Linda Denker, Case Martin, Sandi Gandre, Aunt Betty Gandre, Margie Menking, Joy Carson, Richard Hidalgo Jr., Arthur Casares, Shirley Dozier, Marie Schauer, L.A. Lindemann, Jr.;Graham Kelley, Esther Lindemann, Anna Lindemann, Lanny Baker, Judy Wilson, Bob Young, Marguerite Williams, and our military and their families, I guess that I broke all the Weight Watchers rules in the book today. I just dont care. I dont get to go through town and

get a McDonalds biscuit very often. So when I get the chance to eat one for breakfast you better believe that I eat one. Then I went to Subway and ordered a foot long sub because they are on sale. That was just too tempting also. Weight Watchers is contributing $1.00 for every pound that is lost to two hunger missions. Three dollars can feed five families. Oh, Happy Birthday to Michael Wilson. We hope that you had a great birthday and wish you many more. It doesnt seem possible that part of your hair is somewhat gray, but you are just as limber as ever. Phew!! PePe has been on the roll. He nearly got himself locked in the refrigerator. Then he nearly pulled everything out of the shelf he was in when I was trying drag him out of the refrigerator. Next he decided that he was going to become a dried cat. He planted himself in that dryer twice. Will had to drag him out of there twice. Next PePe decided that he should get under the cabinet where the lavatory is and he politely takes his big paw and opens that cabinet on his own. In his hurry to get out of there he streaks across the bathroom and hits the bathtub where I am taking a bath. PePe did not realize that I was yelling at him from that bathtub but he certainly did when he hit that water. PePe is so upset trying to get out of that water that it took him three jumps to get out of that tub. However, I think that he has finally learned his lesson. He came skittering in the bathroom the other night and heard water in that bathtub and came to a screeching halt. Poor PePe. He has had a traumatic week. Have a great week, and God Bless.
Its almost time for the Leesville Country Fair; breaking my Weight Watchers rules

Veteran Brumme checks in as new county investigator

The latest addition to the Gonzales County Attorneys Office was made official Wednesday morning at the courthouse when John Brumme was sworn in by Gonzales County Judge David Bird as the new investigator for the office of county attorney Paul Watkins. The position was created because Watkins office recently took over felony prosecution duties for the county. Brumme, along with new assistant county attorney Keri Miller, took over his new post on Sept. 2. Watkins said Brumme, a former police officer with the City of Gonzales Police Department, possessed several qualities that made him the ideal person for the job. One of the things that has devolved to all investigators across the state of Texas is they almost always have to have a technology background and John certainly qualified for that, Watkins said. When Keri and I are trying cases, the last thing we want to have to be worried about is the technology. The deciding factor for John was his familiarity with this community and all of the local law enforcement agencies. He is not and should ever be interpreted as being their boss because they work for their agencies. As the investigator, Johns job is to create a dialogue and be a liaison between the prosecutors office and law enforcement and John has the perfect temperament for that. A native of Corpus Christi, Brumme joined the Air Force after high school. After his term of service was completed, he went to San Antonio and attended the Community College of the Air Force to study computers. He parlayed his new technology knowledge into a job working for the Air Force in civil service. He later came to Gonzales when he took job as a tech with GVEC. In 2009, Brumme was hired by the Gonzales Police Department and they sent him to the Victoria College Police Academy. Once I graduated, I was picked up here and did a small three-year contract, he said. I fell in love with the police department, so I decided to stay a little bit longer. Law enforcement has been around my family for a long time. Its just something I was always intrigued by. Whenever the officers were around, it was pretty cool to watch what they did. I was always more technical minded, but now law enforcement is in my blood and I cant get it out. Brumme said he applied for the investigators position because he wanted to serve area residents on a scale larger than a local officer. This has been a great community to me ever since I moved here in the early 2000s, he said. This community has been very welcoming to myself and my family. Being with the police department I was able to work for the community, but I wanted to do it in a broader way. Brumme said the law enforcement agencies in this area are a tight-knit community and he is eager to continue working with officers from Gonzales PD, Nixon PD, Waelder PD and the Sheriffs Office. I know all of those guys personally, he said. I dont get to work as much with Nixon PD as I would like to and were going to change that, but I know those guys too. Im going to make sure theres always a connection between them and my office so that they know Im only just a phone call away. Brummes brother, Jared, was also drawn in the direction of law enforcement. He works as a jailer for the Gonzales County Sheriffs Office and recently passed his TCLEOSE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education) exam in anticipating of possibly joining GPD in the near future. Watkins said as far as he is

concerned, Brumme validated his selection through the work he put in for last weeks trial of Gregory Fonseca. Johns already proven to be invaluable, said Watkins. The Fonseca trial would not have had the result that it had without Johns work. Between finding witnesses and doing statements and preparing things, he was instrumental and a very effective piece of the team that made that verdict happen. There are no more personnel additions planned for Watkins office in the new budget, but he said he anticipates more changes down the road. We are growing at a certain percentage, but were going to try to do the job with the amount of people that we have, he said.
Chief clarifies policy on CHL during Come and Take It

Gonzales Police have received clarification to a planned policy which would have disallowed concealed-carry permit holders to retain their firearms on Confederate Square during the upcoming Come and Take It Celebration. Gonzales Police Chief Tim Crow said Wednesday in an e-mail message that signage proposed advising firearms owners they cannot carry firearms on a licensed premises where alcohol is served will apply only to the Biergarten tent. I have spoke with TABC regarding the licensed premises of Come and Take It beer tent. Because the event is not fenced in, the license only pertains to the beer tent itself, Crow said. People can buy beer and leave the tent. The 51% signs need to be posted on the posts of the beer tent. If the event was fenced the license would apply to the entire fenced area as explained by TABC. At issue was whether alcohol sales exceeded 51 percent of the revenues generated from the event. Food and other vendors account for more than half the revenue generated during the event. Antique or curio firearms (manufactured before 1899), or which do not use rim-fire or center-fire ammunition, are exempt from the licensed-premises statute under Texas law. Proponents of the right to openly carry firearms had previously announced plans to march in the annual Come and Take It parade. In recent weeks, several groups around the state have staged peaceful open-carry public demonstrations, with mixed reaction from local law enforcement. The police department is silent on the Texas Open Carry or any individual lawfully carrying their long guns, Crow said. We will respond to calls and file cases if probable cause exists that a law was violated and we may arrest the perpetrator for the alleged offense. Entrants in this years Come and Take It Parade have also been asked to ensure that any firearms used as part of displays are unloaded.

SMILEY: Water concerns, new business top agenda

Continued from page A1
City officials state that the city does have a water well that is in good operation and is currently not short on water. The city is trying to look ahead and be prepared in case water pressure on the current well becomes too low. The council also discussed the desire for more businesses to come to the city, and is looking to help businesses come by possibly giving them certain allowances in regards to utilities, permits, and also waiving certain other things and giving tax abatements.
We need a gas station; we need a convenience store; we need a bank, said Estes. Those are the type of things were trying to attract into town. In order to do that, it means giving them a little break on some things, which the city is willing to do. The meeting also saw the council approve the set property tax rate of $0.3918 per $100 valuation for the 2013-2014 fiscal year. The set property tax rate is lower than last fiscal year, which was at $0.4041 per $100 valuation. City officials state that the set tax rate will increase total revenue for the city by an estimated $663.
GEDC: Marketplace lands first tenant commitments

COURT: Prosecutor reworks charges in Walker theft case

make sure those were part of the evidence we have going into the trial and the restitution hearing. Walker pleaded guilty to theft of property in January as part of a plea agreement where she would receive five years of deferred adjudication, spend 30 days in the county jail, pay restitution cost of $60,000 and a fine of $1,000. Judge William Old rejected that deal in May, which caused Walker to change her plea to not guilty and assert her right to a jury trial, which is set
to begin on Oct. 15. In other developments, the court: Sentenced Justin Cole Brown to serve seven years in the Texas Department of Corrections for burglary of a habitation. Sentenced Alberto Gonzalez to 10 years probation for driving while intoxicated (third or more). He was also ordered to spent time at a treatment center in Uvalde. Sentenced Rodolfo Lopez to 10 years probation for driving while intoxicated with child passenger under 15. Sentenced Marcos Ramirez to five years probation for forgery.
Connection is a discount/outlet fashion merchandiser, while Hibbett Sports specializes in footwear, workout gear and apparel. Dollar Tree specializes in bulk supplies. All four of the announced commitments are regulars in other Action Properties developments. Helton stressed the commitments are verbal at this point, and that at least two other retail spaces will remain available. It wont look like an old Walmart when were finished, he said. Helton said the Bealls location will be increasing its square footage in response to customer demand, and hed received a lot of positive feedback already about the plans to locate the Hibbett Sports. GEDC and Action Properties are planning to complete a 380 Agreement which calls for the reinvestment of taxes raised at the location for a period of time as an incentive for development. In other action during Mondays meeting, directors approved upgrading the Small Business Improvement Plan from
a loan to a grant program and expanded the amount available for businesses from $10,000 to $15,000. They also approved similar improvements to the Main Street Facade Grant Program as well as a grant for relocation of utilities in the downtown area, funding up to $2500 for businesses to help move utilities from the front to the rear of buildings. GEDC also voted to name Coyle SDA as its engineer of record, and approved the purchase of a traffic counter to better count traffic to help provide better information for businesses seeking to move to or open in Gonzales. The board also authorized director Clint Hille to approach the citys Planning & Zoning Commission with a proposal to provide a tax abatement for property improvements in a small section of the historical downtown area. Economic Development Director Carolyn Gibson Baros announced that another new business, Heritage Carriage Co., was in the process of locating in Gonzales and is expected to be operational by Come and Take It weekend.

Campuses moving forward; pep rally, bond issue on tap

Dear Gonzales ISD School and Community Family, We have had a great, BACK TO SCHOOL, beginning to the 2013-14 school year! Thank you to the GISD Board of Trustees, the faculty, staff and parents for such a positive start. It is great to have all students and staff back at GISD for what is sure to be a great year ahead. The transition to classes and school procedures was exceptional for all. You are appreciated for attention to the individual and group safety and educational needs of our students. Our campuses are definitely moving forward with learning. All classes have begun with instructional processes. Campuses performed well last year on state assessments, outperforming required standards. This year we strive to surpass our successes. We are very proud of our students! We are so proud of their attention to their work, outstanding behavior and positive demeanor at school. The GISD Education Foundation helped to kick off our year at the annual convocation event. Mr. Gabe Gallardo spoke to teachers about the appreciation and support of the foundation board for members of the GISD teachers and staff. One of the priorities of the foundation is to award teacher grants that endorse innovative teaching in the classroom. The initial plans for the teacher grant application were shared and revisited at the annual district breakfast and vendor fair. All teachers are encouraged to apply

for grants positively supporting creativity and innovation in the classroom. Thank you GISD Education Foundation! Our beginning of year Meet the Apaches event was exciting and fun. It was great to see our students as athletes, cheerleaders, dancers and fans support the Apaches in such a big way. The Athletic Booster Club will host a Community Pep Rally to be held on October 2nd at 7 p.m. We hope to see everyone there! Into the fall sports season now, we are always pleased with the community support from all of parents and citizens who come out with a proud Apache spirit. Thank you to the Booster Clubs for supporting this event and for all of the work that you do. A new school year always brings change. This year we will see the results of a School House Bond election to be held on November 5th, 2013. As you recall, on July 8th, the GISD School Board approved the call for a School House Bond. The bond proposal focuses on safety first and school expansion relative to current and projected growth. Our district website has links with information related to the upcoming bond election.
Additionally, there are several information sessions that have been conducted. Should you wish to hear more concerning the bond, please contact GISD Central Office at 830-672-9551. Time learning at school can make the difference in many ways. Attendance is a priority and calls for appreciation to parents for motivating children and rewarding daily attendance, as well as to teachers for adhering to a well-planned calendar of instruction. Every day involves learning that is necessary for further curriculum expectations in the next weeks and years. Completing the building blocks of the curriculum is necessary in preparing for the very special high school graduation that is ahead for every student. Every day and every lesson counts. Thank you for all that you do in keeping children in school every day. As we move forward during this 2013-2014 school year, we will continue to raise the bar on expectations. Thank you ahead of time for your active participation in your childs education. Watch for progress reports on your childs academic performance to be sent home. Each time you receive this report, you can monitor your childs academic performance and attendance record. Dont hesitate to schedule an appointment to meet with your childs teacher. Working together, we make our students our focus!

Citizenship is something that should be honored, recognized and given status. It has nothing to do with academic achievement and anyone can achieve it.

On Wednesday September 11, members and guests of the Gonzales FFA chapter attended a program presented by State FFA President Ryon Cox and State First Vice President Shelby Eckhardt. Both Cox and Eckhardt went through rigorous testing and voting, as well as many speeches which included giving a speech in front of a crowd of 11,000 FFA members at the 85th annual Texas FFA State Convention in Dallas this past summer. The state officers were chosen for the travel team, which led Cox and Eckhardt to the new gym at Gonzales High School. During their visit with the Gonzales FFA members, the officers demonstrated teamwork as their main message. The members learned about the sacrifices the State President and State First Vice President must make in order to be part of the travel team, such as not being able to attend college their first year out of high school. In addition, the members thanked the state officers for their time and lessons.

Fonseca draws life sentence

By CEDRIC IGLEHART
The Cannon
Page A11
On this day in 1736, Carlos Benites Franquis de Lugo arrived in San Antonio to begin his controversial tenure as ad interim governor of Spanish Texas. Having a stormy, petulant, and precipitous temper, Franquis refused to show his credentials, insulted both civil and religious authorities, and lost the respect of the missionaries at San Antonio and Los Adaes. In little more than a year as governor, he came near to ruining the province of Texas. He placed his predecessor, Manuel de Sandoval, under arrest, seized his papers, and brought criminal charges against him. In the ensuing investigation, Franquis himself was arrested, removed from office, and retired to San Juan Bautista, where he ran afoul of Fray Miguel Sevillano de Paredes and deserted. He went to Mexico City to plead his case before the viceroy. Jos Fernndez de Juregui y Urrutia, the governor of Nuevo Len, appointed Prudencio de Orobio y Basterra to succeed Franquis as governor of Texas. After Franquiss trial, which lasted for several years, he served in Veracruz and then in Spain. The date and place of his death are unknown.
A dedication ceremony was held on Sunday at the King Family Cemetery, during which this historic marker was unveiled by family Mark Ainsworth and Gonzales County Judge David Bird. Gonzales County Historical Commission chairperson Glenda Gordon and cemetery chairperson Bradley Avant gave the welcome, followed by remarks from Ainsworth on behalf of the family. The cemetery, which contains 101 graves, was created in 1838. (Courtesy photo)
The jury that found Gregory Fonseca guilty on two counts of aggravated assault sentenced him to life in prison last Thursday. It took several hours for the six-man, six-woman jury to come back with a verdict. When they did, they sentenced the 43-year old to life in prison on the first count and 99 years on the second count. Both terms will run concurrently. The jury took a break before the punishment phase began and during that intermission, Fonseca became agitated and demanded that he be taken back to jail immediately because he no longer wanted to participate in the process. You realize that doing so might place you in jeopardy, visiting Judge Dan Beck warned him. Thats already been done by you, Fonseca shot back. Im ready to go back to jail right now. I dont want anything more to do with this mockery. Whatever yall are going to do you can do it without me. This whole trial has been a circus. The expletive-laced tirade lasted for over five minutes with Fonseca at one point alluding to resorting to violence and asking the judge, Do I have to create a scene here? Im assuming youre going to want to appeal this, Beck said. Your chances at appeal will be reduced if you choose not to stay. The defendants sister, Anna Fonseca, was also upset by what she saw during the proceedings, but she expressed her concerns to the judge in a more cordial manner. Beck instructed the court reporter to reflect in the record that he had listened to Annas grievances, but did not agree with them. Anna spoke to The Cannon about the nature of her complaints to Beck. She contended that several procedural mistakes where made during her brothers trial, the foremost being that one juror should have been dismissed because he kept falling asleep throughout the proceedings. There was important in-
formation that he did not hear, she said. How can you pay attention when youre asleep? Im not saying he was dozing off, he was actually asleep. He couldnt keep his eyes open. She said she was certain that the baliffs and at least two other jurors noticed it as well, but instead of reporting it, they just giggled about it. I told the judge it was his responsibility to correct this and he just put it aside because it seemed like he just wanted to get the trial over with, she said. The jury misconduct was brought to his attention by (defense attorney Thomas) Hille, but he failed to do anything about it. Anna also said she was told that her brother was allowed to engage in ex parte conversation with one of the jurors. One of the baliffs came back and said my brother was talking to a juror, she said. A defendant is not allowed to do that, period. Anna said she would take steps to ensure that all of her issues with the trial would be addressed during appeal and did not rule out the possibility of seeking out a legal remedy to have Beck sanctioned for his actions. During the punishment phase of the four-day trial, the prosecution called witnesses to prove to the jury that Fonseca was the man who broke into the Silver Star Saloon on March 31 and that he tried to escape from the Gonzales County Jail on May 5. Jesse Soefje was the jailer in charge of running the rec room on the day in question last May. He testified that Fonseca climbed all the way up the jails 14-foot containment fence, using his jailissued shirt as protection from the circular razor-wire at the top. Soefje said Fonseca refused several requests for him to come down and did not do so until he was threatened with a taser. As he was being escorted to a detox cell, Soefje said Fonseca told him he could do this every day. On his cross examination, Hille got Soefje to admit that Fonseca made

numerous requests that day to speak to a supervisor and they went unanswered. Hille said that a frustrated Fonseca was not trying to escape but was instead doing something outrageous in order for his requests to be taken seriously. He was on the fence and he said he wouldnt come down until he talked to a supervisor, said Soefje. Al Pakebusch, a jail dispatcher, testified that he went to the jail in his capacity as a volunteer EMS worker in response to a call about an injured inmate. He said Fonseca had several lacerations to his hands, shoulders and legs from the fence climb. Pakebusch said Fonseca was taken to Gonzales Memorial Hospital and treated, but also said the inmate was irate and belligerent the whole time. He said when he got back from the hospital he would destroy county property and hurt some jailers, Pakebusch said. After the state rested, Hille called Lt. James McWhorter to the stand. McWhorter said it was his job to respond to inmate requests and said Fonseca filed multiple grievances while he was incarcerated at the jail. McWhorter said Fonseca constantly complained about several things including conditions at the jail. Hille contended that Fonseca had protested mostly about only being issued three sheets of paper per week, which he said prevented him from generating the proper amount of correspondence to work on his legal issues.
During his closing argument, Hille continued to characterize the alleged escape attempt as an audacious act only done so Fonseca would be taken seriously. When he jumped on the fence, it wasnt to escape, he said. Nobody has ever escaped from the Gonzales County Jail. He acted like a fool to get attention because he was desperate. Assistant county attorney Keri Miller urged the jury to sentence Fonseca to the maximum, calling him a dangerous man with no regard for human life or respect for the law. He was willing to take the lives of two people over a stupid drunken argument, she said. This man deserves life in prison because he just keeps on committing crimes. It took less than half an hour for the jury to come back with a guilty verdict on Wednesday. Fonseca was accused of stabbing two men on Nov. 26, 2011 during a quinceanera at Hermann Sons Hall. During the incident, Jose Banda suffered a stab wound in the abdomen and Damien Ramirez was stabbed in the neck. Beck presided over the case because Judge W.C. Kirkendall had been removed due to his prior relationship with Fonseca. He was the prosecutor in the 1985 murder trial where Fonseca was convicted for stabbing 16-year old Jesse Hastings, Jr. at the Lynn Theatre. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison and was out on parole when the Hermann Sons stabbings took place.
The club will meet on the first Thursday of each month at Willies Grill, beginning at 6 p.m. For more information, call Michelle Fernandez at 830-2031284 or Penny Gosnell at 830-203-8511 or visit them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/groups/gonzalesdoglovers.

naturally, Come and Take It Coffee. The company decided to open its doors in Gonzales because of the rich history that this town represents, Hernandez said, in the same way of the unique flavor of our coffee that we will be producing in Texas. The Brothers Grajales brand is advertised as a smooth taste while Come and Take It Coffee will have a strong country flavor. The company is run by Hernandez and his brother, Oliver.
The companys roots began in Chiapas, Mexico, where the company began when the Brothers learned the process of roasting coffee beans. Nowadays, some companies mix different types of beans, missing the original flavor of the coffee sweetness, he said. We do not believe in the mixture of different grains, thats why our company is authentic, original and different from others. Hernandez said the new shop will feaCOFFEE, Page B3

Seniors Spotlight
The number of drivers 70 and over is predicted to triple in North America over the next 20 years. Research indicates that the older a person is, the higher the risk of driver accident or fatality. The risk posed by older drivers and the inevitable increase in older drivers on the road over the next two decades has sparked debate as to whether or not such drivers should be reexamined to ensure safety on the road? In 2003, an 86-year-old man unintentionally killed 10 people and injured more than 70 when he drove his car through a crowded farmers market in Santa Monica, Calif. In 2010, a 72-year-old Connecticut man faced vehicular manslaughter charges for allegedly striking and killing a motorcyclist. In 2012, an elderly man in Buffalo, N.Y. caused an accident resulting in three fatalities when he traveled in the wrong direction on the New York State Thruway. Very frequently the local news is peppered with reports of elderly drivers causing serious accidents. Some wonder if more stringent requirements for elderly drivers would help the situation. Thirty-three states presently have legislation in place to ensure drivers can retain driving privileges once they reach a certain age. Its important to note that, according to the National Safety Council, drivers over the age of 75 account for only 3.3 percent of accidents in the United States. Drivers age 25 to 34 account for the largest number of accidents, at nearly 20 percent. Some argue that these findings do not paint an accurate picture because senior drivers spend far less time behind the wheel and log fewer miles than younger drivers, reducing the chance for accidents. Though the debate about older drivers figures to remain a hot topic, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that aging can affect drivers in a number of ways. The physical and mental changes that accompany aging can have a profound impact on a persons ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Reaction times may be slower, hearing and vision loss may affect driver awareness, loss of muscle strength and flexibility can make steering more difficult and medication can impair focus and/or concentration. Many senior centers and organizations offer programs that allow elderly drivers to brush up on their skills behind the wheel. Drivers also can contact their insurance companies to see if there are any sponsored classes they can take to reassess their skills and possibly lower their insurance premiums. AAA offers a Driver Improvement course and suggests seniors find a car they can safely and comfortably operate. AAA also offers Roadwise Rx, a free online tool that provides confidential, individualized feedback about medication side effects and how these drugs may impact drivers on the road. AARP also offers a Driver Safety course. It also is important that senior drivers and their families familiarize themselves with local legislation to determine if driver refresher courses or retesting are necessary for older drivers to remain behind the wheel.

Aging can impair your driving ability
Physical therapy a vital part of treatment and recovery

Illnesses of the musculoskeletal system can result in temporary loss of mobility. But physical therapy can help to prevent those temporary problems from becoming permanent. The American Physical Therapy Association says physical therapists diagnose and treat individuals of all ages who have conditions that limit their abilities to perform functional activities. Limitations in mobility may result from injury or illness or be present at birth. Many physical therapists develop a plan to reduce pain and restore function through various treatment techniques with the ultimate goal of restoring a patients functional independence. Physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who must receive a degree from an accredited physical therapist program before taking national licensure exams that enable them to open a practice or work in a facility. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 30 percent growth in physical therapy careers through 2018, which is a rate better than all other occupations. Unemployment rates for physical therapists are very low, and they are in high demand. Physical therapists employ various physical modalities to help with certain conditions. For example, a patient may be asked to perform various range-of-motion exercises to restore function to an injured part of the body. Physical therapists also may use heat, cold and electrical impulses to reduce pain and stimulate muscle function. Physical therapy sessions frequently include some form of massage as well. While athletes frequently rely on physical therapy as they recover from injuries, others can benefit from physical therapy as well. For example, physical therapy may work in conjunction with other treatments for cardiopulmonary disease. The cardiopulmonary system delivers oxygen to active tissues, which plays an important part in movement. When the cardiopulmonary system is compromised, muscles and other tissues may not function as they should, and certain exercises and mobility therapies may be needed. Physical therapists also aid in improving physical ailments related to neurological diseases, such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinsons disease, and Alzheimers disease. Physical therapists may also help treat poor vision, poor balance and paralysis. Children who have learning disabilities related to a neurological or physical condition may benefit from certain forms of physical therapy. For example, vision problems can compromise academic performance, so physical therapy that aims to enhance visual tracking skills and strengthen the eyes in conjunction with corrective lenses may help youngsters, or even adult students, perform better in the classroom. Very often physical therapy will be recommended by a general doctor or an orthopedic surgeon as part of recovery from a surgery or a condition. The therapist may work in conjunction with another doctor to provide a program that helps foster a faster and safe recovery. Physical therapy tends to begin gradually and resistance is slowly built up as the body strengthens. The length of physical therapy will depend on the condition and the recommendation of the therapist and doctors overseeing the treatments.
Area & Nation Wide Senior Programs Can Be Very Beneficial. Social Services Director, Patty Benton, at The Heights of Gonzales compiled a list of businesses and organizations she feels offers valuable services to senior citizens. Ms. Benton stressed the list is not all inclusive and that seniors should seek out other helpful services, area discounts offered to seniors, support groups, travel groups, etc in order to live a fun and healthy lifestyle in their silver years.

College Station young but very dangerous

By CEDRIC IGLEHART
Sports
Gonzales at College Station
Friday, 7:30 p.m. College Station HS Stadium
Ramirezs former spot in the backfield in an attempt to get the ball into his hands more. He responded with a 123 total yards and three first quarter scores. We made some personnel changes within the offense that seemed to work out, Lock said. We threw the ball better and we just looked sharper. It was like the light came on for some of our kids who havent played a lot. Theyre getting better and better and thats a good thing for us. Gonzales will face another rapidly-improving team when they travel to College
The Cannon
Coming off a bye week that was preceded by their first loss of the year, the Gonzales Apaches went to Austin last week in search of redemption. They found it in a major way when they whipped 4A Lanier, 55-6, in a game so lopsided the entire second half was played with a running clock. We worked on a lot of different things during that two-week period and we were itching to get back on the field, said Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock. I know the score was what it was, but what I was most
happy with was our effort. I thought it was tremendous. The opponent was definitely not as good as Bastrop, but our effort was outstanding. Our defense ran to the ball for the first time all year and swarmed the football. The Apaches also unveiled a new look on offense where they shuffled some players around. Brant Philippus started the first two games at quarterback, but he was moved to starting cornerback and replaced by Alyas Ramirez, who completed six of nine passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Darrance James spent some time at
Station on Friday. The Cougars are in their second year of existence after finishing with a 6-4 record last season with a schedule that was mostly comprised of JV opponents. This year they are off to a perfect 3-0 start including a season-opening 45-14 win over Schulenburg, the programs first ever victory over a varsity opponent. Theyre undefeated and theyve been whipping everybody theyve played, said Lock. They have a lot of talent over there and they got big numbers. Theyre well-coached and very athletic, so I think well have our hands full. They are definitely a top notch opponent.
The Cougars returned 25 lettermen and a whopping 18 starters, including 10 on offense and eight on defense. They have outscored their opponents 145-59, led by their defenses penchant for turning takeaways into touchdowns. In their 70-20 win over Waco Reicher, the Cougars forced three fumbles and had two interceptions, one of which was returned for a score. In their 30-25 win over Aldine Davis, College Station ran two of their three picks back for touchdowns. The stars of the defensive unit this year have been DE Randy Cessna (13 tackles, APACHES, Page C2
Lady Apaches sweep Lady Tigers for first district win

GONZALES The Gonzales Lady Apaches volleyball team played a little show and tell Tuesday against Smithville. They showed and talked about their hearts and desires in a 26-24, 25-17, 25-15 sweep of the Lady Tigers at the GHS Special Events Center for their first district win. The highlight for us was coming back from being down the first game and winning, said Gonzales head coach Sarah Moreno. This truly showed their heart and desire to fight until the very end, and I am very proud of these girls. If that is any indication of the rest of the season, I am very excited. In the first set, Gonzales (8-14, 1-1) was able to blow open a close early game. Danielle Flowers and Bailey Connell got some aces while Danyelle Glass got a kill to put Gonzales ahead 12-4. Smithville (6-13, 0-2) battled back to score eight of the next nine points, getting a kill from Leslie Wilhelm in the process. Some serves from Cassidy La Fleur and another Glass

The Luling Eagles (4-0) open their district season with a road trip to Marion at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, their second straight road game. We are jumping right into the middle of district, Eagles head coach Colby Hensley said. Marion sits at 2-2, opening with wins against Poth (29-28) and Karnes City (14-6), and dropping games to Austin St. Michaels (4537) and Geronimo Navarro (43-12). The Bulldogs spread offense is run through the hands (and feet) of quarterback Jourden Stanley. He has completed 41-of-75 passes for 434 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Stanley also has 283 rushing yards on 71 attempts and six touchdowns. Stanley is a crazy quarterback. Best athlete we will face all season, Hensley said. We absolutely must make sure he does not run all over us. Middle linebacker Raphael DeHoyos is the main
player on defense for Luling to be aware of. He reads everything well, Hensley said. Luling had the chance to score more points against Devine last week but missed some opportunities. We have to execute better on offense, Hensley said. We missed some shots at Devine and you cannot afford to miss chances when you are in district. Luling could not have a tougher game to open district with. Marion is probably the top team in the district and it would shock me if they are not in the playoffs at end of the year, he said. This will not be a makeor-break game for us, but if we were to go up 1-0 in district after playing Marion, it would set us up for the rest of the district season.

It is going to be a good but difficult match for us, Nixon head coach Carlton McKinney said. The Badgers run a spread PREVIEWS, Page C2

The Lady Apaches opened the second game with the first four points on a La Fleur ace and block by Brittany Walker. Smithville later grabbed a 10-9 lead on plays from Courtney Brinler and Haley Briggs but Gonzales soon went on a 6-0 run to take a 21-14 advantage. Smithville closed down to 21-17 before kills from Gretchen Singleton and Kendall Fougerat propelled
the Lady Apaches to victory. Gonzales opened the third set with a 12-6 lead and the Lady Tigers got to within 13-8. Gonzales then went on an 8-2 run on the way to a 25-15 win. Fougerat had eight kills for Gonzales and La Fleur had 15 assists. Smithville won the junior varsity match 25-17, 21-25 and 25-15, and the freshman match, 25-12 and 2514.
system that will use the veer sometimes. They are going to spread you out and take advantages of mismatches, McKinney said. Quarterback Dylan Wright has hit 8-of-18 passes for 41 yards and leads the team in rushing with 323 yards on 37 attempts and three touchdowns. Running back Paul Kinney has 250 yards on 39 rushes and three touchdowns. We need to prevent Karnes City from making a
big play on offense, McKinney said. Our defense needs to play aggressive and take care of assignments. The Badgers run the 31 on defense and make adjustments to their front four. Its what we are used to seeing from them, McKinney said. We need to execute and avoid turning the football over. Key players on the Badgers defense are end Chayse Leal and Wright at linebacker. We are ready to start district and hope to get
things started off on a good note, McKinney said. Flatonia at Ganado The Bulldogs (2-1) play at the Ganado Indians at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. Flatonia had last weeks home contest against Schulenburg called off because of inclement weather. Head coach Chris Freytag said he does not expect the cancellation to have any effect on the Dogs. Lightning is part of a high school football. I think we will be fresher and not beat up, he said. We will have a little rust but I feel our kids will be sharp.
The Indians (3-1) are known for being big and physical, and play well on defense. It will not be anything we have not seen from them before, Freytag said. The Indian offense will primarily use double-tight end sets, along with a little wishbone, veer and some spread out of the shotgun. Ganado has Clay Vesely, Kenny Kocian, Kaleb Leal and Benny Garcia to handle majority of the running game offense. They will have the way cleared for them by offensive tackle PREVIEWS, Page C4

The Cougars are led on offense by quarterback Cole Whittlesey (481 passing yards, 6 TD), who does a good job of sharing the ball with Adam Bond (5.21 yards per carry, 2TD), Preciado (3 rushing TD) and Sennette (80 yards per game, 2 TD). College Station likes to operate out of the pistol formation where they run sweeps, options and counters. Lock said whenever they do pass, its usual some
type of sprint out. You have be sound when you play against them, he said. You have to be in the right place all the time. With just one other game remaining on the nondistrict slate, Lock said he is looking forward to seeing how his team stacks up against a quality squad like College Station. Itll be good for us to play a team like this before district, he said. We have some good opponents on our schedule and this is one of them. Theyre a physical bunch that plays hard-nosed football and theyre big up front. Combine that with having a good scheme and it makes for a good football team.

Apaches dominate at hapless 4A Lanier, 55-6

AUSTIN Before the start of district is the time to try a couple of news thing, get better and get more athletes reps in a game. The Gonzales Apaches got back to winning ways with a 55-6 win over Austin Lanier Vikings Friday night at Nelson Field, with some new looks and some younger players getting some playing time. A lot of young kids got their feet wet tonight, Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock said. We are still a work in progress and we stepped up to the test. Running back Alyas Ramirez started at quarterback for the Apaches while Brant Philippus and Tyler Hendershot also got some snaps. We decided to throw the ball more and Alyas did a great job of throwing, Lock said. Gonzales made improvements blocking and playing defense.The Apaches ran for over 200 yards in the game and held Lanier to just 51 yards of total offense. Our offensive line played well and we tackled better than we have this whole season, Lock said. Gonzales (2-1) scored the first six times they had the ball and started all six times on Laniers side of the 50. Lanier received the opening kickoff and even was gifted with an offsides penalty by the Apaches on the first play of the game. Then the Vikings had a procedure penalty of their own and were faced with fourth down when quarterback Saul Orton was sacked by the Gonzales defense. Gonzales started at Laniers 39, two runs by D.J. Gonzales moved the ball to the 18, Ramirez had a seven-yard carry and this was followed by Gonzales 11yard touchdown run. Gonzales caught a two-point pass from Philippus for an 8-0 Gonzales lead. After the kickoff, Lanier lost a fumble on the first play of the drive and Ramirez hit Darrance James for a 26-yard pass on the drives first and only play. Gonzales led 14-0 after the missed two-point play. On the next drive, Johnte Evans had an 11-yard run to his 31 on the first play and later Gonzales was flagged for pass interference to give the Vikings another first down. The drive died with a short, 20yard punt to the Lanier 44 and the Apaches took just a

They opened with a 31-28 loss to New Mexico HighFrom coaches reports The Gonzales crosscountry team competed in the Pflugerville meet Sept 13. where the boys finished seventh overall while the girls took eighth place. I chose to take them to this meet because I think we are ready to see some big competition, Gonzales cross-country coach Cully Doyle said. It was a great experience that I think will help our team overall when we get to district and the pressure is on us. I believe in these kids and they deserve to do well. We have a tough district but I feel very confident that the kids who have put in the work will see great results when the day comes to run at district. The junior high teams traveled to Moulton on Saturday morning where close to 40 runners from Gonzales ran. It was great to see all the kids come out and run, said Doyle. The future is bright for these young women and men. I could not be more proud of these junior high runners. They will continue to improve each week.

PREVIEWS: Yoakum seeking first win of the year at Rice

Continued from page C2 Roman Leal and tight end Thomas Parks. Freytag said Flatonia will also have to contain quarterback Ray Salazar. Ganado has a ball-control offense. They will run it right at you, he said. Vesely really hurt us last year with a bunch of yards. Key players on the defense are lineman Michael Garcia and Vesley at defensive back. While still primarily a ball-control, running offense, Flatonia has done well when it does throw the football. Freytag said quarterbacks Will Bruns and Casen Novak have combined to complete 70 percent of their passes. When we throw the football, we need to execute well, he said. We have to keep up that completion percentage. Yoakum at Altair Rice Consolidated The Yoakum Bulldogs travel to face Altair Rice Consolidated following their cancelled Homecoming game last week against Edna. Rice is a young but athletic team, Yoakum head coach Brent Kornegay said. Rice runs a spread offense with one- and two-back sets. Quarterback Jordan Johnson is a dual-threat quarterback, throwing for 499 yards on 37of-71 for 499 yards, six touchdowns and one interception. He has 312 rushing yards on 61 carries and four touchdowns. Defense will have their hands full with Johnson, Kornegay said. We need a defender to keep a close eye on him and we cannot let him get out of the pocket. Yoakum will also have to contend with wide receiver Jaquad McGrew (10-171, three touchdowns) and running back Jordan Garner (two touchdowns, 157 yards rushing, 87 yards receiving). The Owls line up in the 4-25 and the 4-3 on the defensive side of the ball with key players being defensive back Todd Nicholas and linebacker Luther Cole. Kornegay said he wants the offense to continue to be consistent. Our offensive line is improving and we just need to do the things we have been doing well all season, he said. Yoakum has rescheduled Homecoming for the Oct. 11 against Smithville. Thrall at Shiner Shiner returns to the field after its game against Universal City Randolph was called off last week. Shiner (1-2) hosts the Thrall Tigers in the 2013 Homecoming game at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at Comanche Stadium. We are just glad to be returning to the field. It feels like an open week, Comanches head coach Steven Cerny said. And it is something extra special because it is Homecoming. On offense, Thrall runs the wishbone and the broken bone, deploying a lot of trap running plays. With Thralls offense, we finally get to see a run-oriented team, Cerny said. We need to control their offensive line and be sound with our defensive techniques because when you face a wishbone offense, you cannot move around a lot before the snap. Threats for Thrall on offense are quarterback Aaron Salazar and running back Alex Kyner. Salazar makes their offense go and Kyner is a small but strong back, Cerny said. The Tigers run the 5-2 and 3-3 on defense, and they move around quite a bit. The line will slant and the linebackers will fire, Cerny said. Our offensive line will have to know their assignments and rules. Main players on the defense are defensive back Gabriel Gomez and linebacker Alec Behrendt. Starting with Thrall, Shiner will play fellow 1As for the rest of the season. Every game will show us where we are at, Cerny said. And there will be no excuses for losing as we are playing schools in our classification. Shiner St. Paul at Cypress Christian This week figures to be a new start for the St. Paul Cardinals as they will only play teams in its division of TAPPS for the remainder of the season. The Cardinals (0-3) visit Cypress Christian (0-4) tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Cypress Christian has not had early success and have played some very decent opponents, St. Paul head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. Their offensive style is a little different than what we have seen this year. Cypress Christian is a passheavy offense out of the shotgun and typically without any backs in the backfield. Our defense will need to pressure the quarterback, throw some wrinkles in our pass coverage and eliminate big pass plays, Wachsmuth said. Key offense players for the Warriors are wide receiver Frank Aufmuth, quarterback Andrew Wilson and wide receiver Grayson Beck On defense, Cypress Christian runs the 50 odd front. Our offense is getting better in practice at execution, he said. We need to protect the football and continue to eliminate mistakes. Tackle Timothy Odeyomi and defensive back Michael Boyd are the players to watch on defense. Weimar at #9 Hallettsville While a lot of area football games were affected by severe weather, the Brahmas were able to get their contest finished. Hallettsville improved to 4-0 on the year with a 41-0 win over Boling. Hallettsville only threw the football for 60 yards on 7-of18 passing but had a very effective running attack with 246 yards on 30 carries. The Brahmas return home to face Weimar in Homecoming at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. Weimar has got great speed, Brahmas head coach Tommy Psencik said. The Hallettsville defense will have to content with running back Jakyle Harris, dualthreat signal caller Juwan Almedia and wide receiver Seth Helmcamp. Our defense has to play their individual gap assigment responsibilities and we have fly to the football, Pscenik said. They will line up in the offset I, will go to the spread and run some unbalanced lines. Wildcat defensive linemen Jose Nino and Clay Firkins will lead the defensive efforts against the balanced, highpowered attack of the Hallettsville offense. Psencik said he expects Weimar to focus on disrupting the Brahmas vaunted passing game. We need to be able to run the football effectively and use it to set up our passing game, he said. Sacred Heart at Louise Hallettsville Sacred Heart has not taken the field since Sept. 6. The Indians were off on Sept. 13 and last week had their home game against Thorndale called off because of weather. I am hoping we get to play this week, Indians head coach Pat Henke said. It seems like it has been forever. This is the first time since I became a football coach that my team has gone three weeks between games. Hallettsville Sacred Heart travels to face a Louise team that has also struggled this season. Louise is currently 0-3 on the year, following losses to Danbury, Wallis Brazos and
Burton. The Hornets run a spread on offense and will throw the football a lot. Louise has Hunter Koudela and Chris Kutac at quarterback to throw the football. Clay Gonzales has 101 rushing yards and Louises only touchdown of the season. Our defense will need to put pressure on the quarterback, Henke said. On defense, the Hornets run the 4-3 system. Key players in the system are linebacker Will Siemens, linebacker Jacob Bill and tackle Raul Gonzalez. Henke stressed the need for Sacred Heart to successfully run the football against Louise. We need to run the football, run the football, run the football, he said. Cuero at Ingleside Cuero heads down to the coast to take on the Ingleside Mustangs. The Gobblers are 2-1 on the year after an opening loss to Wharton and last weeks scheduled Homecoming against Somerset was cancelled because of weather. The Mustangs currently sit a 3-1 on the season, having only lost to state-ranked 2A Refugio in the opener. They have 12 returning starters and 18 returning lettermen for the 2013 season. Quarterback Tristan Barajas passed for over 2,900 yards last season and 35 touchdowns. Wide receiver Terrance Robinson (22-593, nine touchdowns) will be his main target.

DHS robotic fish put to the test ROUNDUP: with help from Battleship TEXAS Luling gets first
LAPORTE The Battleship TEXAS, the goodwill ambassador and museum ship that resides at the San Jacinto State Historic site, is back in the business of serving the nation this week this time in a new role. The century-old battleship, a formidable warrior that saw the nation through two World Wars, is serving as a testing platform for a six-foot-long robotic fish designed to detect contraband hidden on a ships hull. Known as the BIOSwimmer, the technology undergoing testing is a highly maneuverable, unmanned underwater vehicle that is equipped with a sophisticated suite of sensors and embodies the natural shape of a tuna. The demonstration of this underwater robotic search system is a collaborative exercise of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Department of Homeland Securitys Science and Technology Directorate and Boston Engineering. The test team is planting packages of mock contraband of varying sizes in tight, hard-to-reach spaces on the battleships hull and putting the BIOSwimmer through the paces to see if it can successfully detect them. This is the first time the BIOSwimmer, developed by Boston Engineering Corporations Advanced Systems Group with funding from a Small Business Innovation Research award from DHS S&T, will be tested in an operational marine environment. Texas Parks and Wildlife is pleased to make the Battleship TEXAS available to serve the nation in the

The robotic fish known as BIOSwimmer is being tested for its effectiveness by the Department of Homeland Security.

The tests underway will be instructive in the Department of Homeland Securitys efforts to refine this innovative technology so it may be deployed to make our maritime environment safer. The Battleship TEXAS is showing us that youre never too old to be of service to your country. The goal of the testing is to work out the details so that the system can ultimately be used to search for contraband attached to the hulls and underwater appendages of ships, according to DHS S&T BIOSwimmer Program Manager David Taylor. The Battleship TEXAS became the first battleship museum in the U.S. in 1948. It is the last of the battleships in the tradition of the HMS Dreadnought that participated in World Wars I and II.

Cats can bark, too. With 1.45 million lightning strikes per year, Florida experiences more lightning than any other state in the country. Central Florida is unofficially known as the Lightning Capital of the World. If youre like 70 percent of Americans, you hate the idea of your parents moving in with you, according to a recent survey. However, if those survey respondents had to have one parent move in with them, two out of three would choose Mom over Dad. *** Thought for the Day: Ive learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. -- Maya Angelou (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
One of the former Duchesses of Windsor, when asked to reveal the secret to a long and happy life, replied, Fill whats empty, empty whats full and scratch where it itches. You might be surprised to learn that Italians spend more time on social media than people of any other nationality. In medieval times in Great Britain, those accused of a crime could prove their innocence (or guilt) in trial by battle. This law was unused and nearly forgotten for centuries. Then, in 1817, a man named
Abraham Thornton was charged with murder in the death of a young woman named Mary Ashford. The evidence against Thornton was nearly overwhelming, but he claimed the right to trial by battle against his accuser. Since the law was still on the books, the court decided it had no choice but to grant his request. Thorntons accuser was William Ashford, the victims brother, but since he declined to appear on the field of battle, Thornton was freed. Shortly thereafter, trail by battle was officially abolished in the country.
