The first phase of the new 1835 Village subdivision in Gonzales is open for business and history may play a role in naming the streets. Developer Richard Kunz led city and Chamber of Commerce officials on a short walking tour of the site on

Tuesday as he celebrated the culmination of 18 months worth of work to get the site ready for building. We started talking about this about a year and a half ago, and bought the property last August, said Kunz, whos based in Austin. Six

months later and the roads are paved and ready to sell. Kunz, a Swiss native, initially explained to the visitors he planned to name streets in the subdivision after famed Swiss locations, such as Matterhorn but Gonzales City Manager and Mayor Bobby Logan were 1835, Page A9

SMILEY Fresh off Spring Break, Nixon-Smiley school trustees on Monday opted to change the dates of next years Spring Break to avoid a conflict with the local livestock show and coordinate with other nearby districts. Superintendent Dr. Cathy Booth told trustees the 2014-15 school calendar approved by the board recently would put Spring Break in conflict with the Nixon-Smiley Livestock Show. The livestock show traditionally begins the first day of Spring Break, but she said shed been told by organizers that if the district

kept its calendar the show would wind up being held at the end of the off period. Trustees approved the change to return Spring Break to the third week of March. The school board also got a first look at new band uniforms for the high school. Directors Kevin Luedecke and Rachel Frederiksen told the board the new uniforms, which can include both warm-weather and temperate-weather versions, are a step up from the bands current attire and are more in fashion with cur- Band member Amy Woods (right) models Nixon-Smileys new band uniforms as directors Rachel Frederiksen and Kevin Kuedecke point out its features during rent trends.

Guadalupe Co. candidate votes himself out of the race for post

SEGUIN The Democratic nominee for Guadalupe County Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 voted his way out of the general election. It was discovered that on March 4 Manuel Cevallos went to the polls and voted in the Republican primary, making his candidacy as a Democratic contender void, said Duane McCune, Chairman of the Guadalupe County Democratic Party. I called Manuel and he admitted that he voted, he said. He is ineligible. The county Democratic chairman was notified by Guadalupe County Elections Administrator Sue Basham of the ballot cast by Cevallos after canvassing and certifying the election results. She told me that Manuel voted in the Republican primary. He cant do that because it is a violation of election law. And I cant certify him as a Democratic nominee because of it, McCune said. She sent me the sheets that showed that he signed it. After hearing the news, McCune contacted the state Democratic Party which confirmed what Basham had told him. I called the TDP (Texas Democratic Party) and asked the staff attorney and he gave the exact code section, 162.015 of the Texas State Election Code, that prohibits

just that, McCune said. It will be up to the Guadalupe County Democratic Chairs executive committee to name another candidate for the general election, McCune said. On June 16, when my executive committee will come to office, they will nominate somebody to replace Manuel on the ballot, he said. We will have a nominee, although I dont know who that will be. We thought he had a good chance to beat the incumbent, now Im not so sure we can. We Democrats of Guadalupe County are severely disappointed in his decision to vote in the Republican primary. Incumbent Justice of the Peace Sheryl Sachtleben was shocked to hear of the incident. While Im certainly surprised by this recent development, Ive always affirmed that I have great faith in the democratic process, she said. We are so fortunate to have a transparent system, where votes count, and concerned citizens can be involved all the way up to the point of running for office. I was looking forward to the election against Manuel in November, and although I am unclear of the options available to the Democratic Party, I will continue to campaign and let the people of Pct 2 know about the great work happening in our Justice of the Peace office. Cevallos didnt return a call for comment.

One of the questions I get asked a lot is, Why cant you be supportive of our educators? Why are you always questioning what theyre doing? Theyre trained, theyre the professionals. Let them do their job! My response is to imagine a scenario: Imagine that your great-great grandfather and a few of his fellow woodcarvers got together back in the early 1800s and formed a company to build wooden chairs. These were people who knew what they were doing with wood, and over the course of their lifetimes their company became known for producing sturdy, durable, hard-working wooden chairs made without a single dowel, nail or glue. In your great-grandfathers time, he added some new employees as business expanded, and in his time the company became known for making the finest, sturdiest, most durable chairs in the world. While other craftsmen from Europe and elsewhere made fine chairs, none

were made to last the way your great-grandfathers plain wooden chairs did. Your grandfather continued to grow the business, and across two world wars the wooden chairs made by this company became known the world over as THE chair that won the war being used to help the Allies win victory in strategy session after strategy session in every theater of the wars. More employees continued to be added, including a few who had notions about improving the design of the chair and making it even more marketable to customers. In time, your father took over the company and saw that the

employees were doing such a fine job with the chairs, he decided to let them manage the operation. The employees quickly formed committee after committee to re-design the chairs and make them even more marketable to customers. Your father began to wonder when reports began filtering back to him that the new design on the chair made it far less sturdy than it was before: it wouldnt hold as much weight and tended to break often, requiring more re-design. Your father began noticing the cost of the chair rising rapidly and expressed his concern, but he was assured by his management team that theyd take care of it. After all, thats what hed hired them to do. Today, you are the titular head of a company that makes chairs, but the product your company turns out bears no resemblance to that fine, sturdy wooden chair produced prior to the 1960s. Its made of plastic and pressed cardboard now, with bolts and nails and glue everywhere, and it

Tax Day should be prime domain for Tea Partiers

With Tax Day, April 15, quickly approaching grass roots conservatives have a lot of issues to celebrate. Texas Tea Party Patriots is encouraging these patriots, particularly in south Texas, to organize rallies, protests, celebrations, and in general to make lots noise this year. First, of course, is the issue of ObamaCare which was classified as a tax by the Supreme Court. ObamaCare is the biggest federal and socialist attack on the Constitution, free enterprise, and personal freedom ever in U.S. history. Grassroots conservatives everywhere should denounce it AND tie it to the state and local Democrats who are in office or running for election. Too often we focus on national, but we must turn our attention to the local officials who support the national liberal agenda. Secondly, our message should focus on celebrating and supporting the American Dream. For example: 1.) Celebrate our personal freedoms and our rights; 2.) Show your support for the economic freedom to grow jobs and create opportunities. This is especially important in south Texas, where Eagle Ford Shale is creating a new prosperity, but where radical environmentalists and Obamas EPA are doing their best to shut it down. 3.) Demand a debt free future for yourself and the generations to come! Research your lo-

wont even hold the weight of a normal man. The chairs need to be replaced every three or four years. Your company has an entire design division working on the many problems the chairs have encountered almost as many people working in designs as actually assembling the chair but near as you can tell, all they keep doing is making the same product worse. In fact, the managers youve hired to build chairs think THEY own the company now. Some folks who liked the way you used to make chairs are looking back at those days and are beginning businesses to make the chairs the way your grandfather and those before did it. Your managers spend vast sums of money on advertising to attack and ridicule these people. The American public education system was once the best in the world. Like the simple wooden chair, it wasnt fancy but it worked. A half-century ago, we turned over control of that system to social scientists

and academic theorists, who redesigned the whole system to produce something completely different than was originally intended. And like the makers of those modern-day chairs, the modern-day education industry spends exorbitant amounts of money to produce a sub-standard product while the designers and marketers line their pockets. It is unfortunate that our public education system seems to be driven top-down, because all too often real innovations in our schools come from the other direction from programs and ideas at the local level, tailored to meet local populations. One size does not fit all. Perhaps its time we picked up our old-fashioned tools and gave the system one more re-design by reminding the theorists, consultants, lobbyists and professors of education who their employer is, and letting them know that their employer is very, very unhappy with the cheap, unworkable product they are giving us.

cal debt which includes the municipal, county, school district, and hospital district debts and add them together to the state and national debt to give people an idea of what the future holds for their children and grandchildren. This message is important to students and young people. Please consider planning an event in your local community regardless of size. Tea Party patriots should remind Texans on April 15 what has happened to our American Dream, and what is happening to our childrens American Dream. On a secondary and different topic, shame on Democrat U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro of San Antonio. Castro recently publicly stated he would boycott a Buc-ees convenience store north of San Antonio because the owner is supporting State Sen. Dan Patrick for Lieutenant Governor. Castros reasoning is based on Patricks strong anti-illegal immigration stand. Its sad when an elected official publicly boycotts a small business because it disagrees with his personal political views. Imagine if all elected officials behaved in this childish manner and threaten anyone who disagrees with them. Oh I forgetObama and his IRS do that. However, Congressman Castro seems to not care about traditional American values. In November, he appeared at a public party with his pregnant girlfriend (now his wife). That was sad moral example for young people. Neither Congressman Castro, nor his twin brother, Mayor Julian Castro, blinked an eye. Their liberal attitudes are not surprising given the Castro twins were raised by a single mother who was a radical La Raza supporter, and where they proudly admit their grandmother entered the U.S. illegally. They could be the political future of Texas and Americaunless grassroots conservatives stop them.

Memories are short in Foggy Bottom

The reset with Russia had a brief, unhappy life. It began with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presenting her Russian counterpart with a mistranslated reset button reading overcharged. It ended with current Secretary of State John Kerry denying knowledge of the late, unlamented policy on Meet the Press: Well, I dont know what you mean by the reset. Memories are short in Foggy Bottom. And understandably. Who wouldnt try to forget a geopolitical initiative that has been exposed as willful naivete and strategic obtuseness from the beginning? George Kennan wrote the famous Long Telegram at the outset of the Cold War. President Barack Obama would have needed only A Very Brief Telegram at the outset of his administration: Bushs fault. This was a perverse misreading of history. Of all President George W. Bushs failings, not giving the Russians a chance wasnt one of them. He notoriously looked into Russian President Vladimir Putins eyes at the beginning of his presidency and saw sweetness and light. By the end, his illusions were shattered by the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. President Obama picked up like this Russian act of aggression had been perpetrated long ago by the Grand Duke of Muscovy, instead of by the very regime he was resetting with. In a 2009 visit to Moscow, the springtime of reset, President Obama professed his belief

that Americans and Russians have a common interest in the development of rule of law, the strengthening of democracy, and the protection of human rights. He was 0 for 3. It didnt take a student of Russian history, or of international relations or even of the model U.N., to know that this would end in ashes. At one level, the Obama administration was guilty of the human impulse of wanting to see the world as you would like it to be, rather than as it is. At another, the president is not particularly interested in international relations. It was appropriate that one of his statements on the crisis came at an elementary school while announcing his latest budget, which reduces the U.S. Army to pre-World War II levels. Because we all know that we will never face an unexpected, unpredictable international crisis again. Whereas Obama has the lefts traditional discomfort with American power, Putin has no such guilty conscience. Whereas Obama believes weve entered a paradisiacal new period in history when everyone can be constrained by international norms, Putin has no such delusions. President Obama said recently that Ukraines stability and success are in Russias interest. Not if you are Vladimir Putin and stung by the humiliation of the Russian empires diminishment after the end of the Cold War and informed by Catherine the Greats belief that the only way to secure Russia borders is to extend them. President Obama declares that Russia is on the wrong side of history. That may be a clinching argument in a debate over gay marriage at Wesleyan University, but wont carry much weight with Putin. He thinks he can make history move with lies, thuggery and iron. Its now Obamas challenge to prove him wrong.

Dear Editor, This is for caring parents with special ed children, ADHD and ADD and bipolar children. My son goes to high school Ive been in the school system for 33 years, with my other children, never before have I met so many non-caring people in my life! Between junior high and high school when you think your children are getting the education at school, theyre not. I am a very caring concerned mother of a son who people look at him like a mental case with problems! These special ed children, ADHD and ADD and bipolar kids have problems, but they are human beings and have special needs, but cast a side they dont want to deal with them! They just want to send them home! They need special caring teachers for these types of children. I am here to tell you I am a caring mother whos always there for her child! I fight for my son, and no one will talk to me or

Are special needs being met?

LETTERS TO

In Your View
THE EDITOR
my son like a dog like one in charge of office personnel. I give credit where credit is due, when my son was at junior high there was two caring people there. Now at high school (there are) only three people. When I go to the office, people look at you like me and my son are crazy! Yes these ADHD and ADD and bipolar kids are human beings. No one needs to mistreat them, because of these problems. So Ill be there fighting for him no matter what! I am writing this letter to you letting you know, be concern and check on your children. Dont let anyone push you or your children around they cannot help because they are this way! Also this goes out to the teacher who care at the high school. Thank you theres only four, but thanks for caring. We need more teachers like you! Marsha Davis Gonzales You can observe a lot just by watching. Yogi Berra Its midweek in early March at midday and the weather outside is snappy. I have taken refuge in a little cafe outside of Temple. Alongside Hwy. 95 south. Taking time to take in a bite before I continue my trek back home. After a visit to the doctor. All is well and will be better after an assignment with a chicken fried steak with the gravy served there on the side. It is warm, climate wise, considering the cold outside. Therere about a dozen diners inside and I make up the Bakers Dozen. Now in my day I have mastered many things. But a few I am extremely adept at are looking and listening. As I wait for my meal I do exactly that. Cocking an ear at a selected conversation while eyeballing the antics at table No. 3. Where a girl is antagonizing her baby brother by flipping French fries at im at random. Its a judgement call but I suspect shes about 6 years old and the boy about 2. The parents are oblivious to the girls harassment of her sibling. They appear to be in their mid-20s. Hes sipping on a longneck and entertains a faraway look. The wife, possibly only a girlfriend, is animated and attempting to get his attention. To no avail. Her serving of lasagna goes untouched. And the baby brother fields another French fry to the forehead. I suspect the worse case scenario of the girl getting disciplined at home is maybe being pelted with marshmallows. Such a punishment. Four fellas amble in collectively sharing a cocksure manner. All are clad in camouflage and not being a hunter I have no idea what their prey today could be or was. Loud and gregarious, surely indigenous to the area, one of im hollers to the waitress, Thelma Lou, well all have todays special. Whatever the hell that is. So now I know my wait-womans name. When it comes to the caliber of hunters I ofttimes hear discussing the big kill, well, in my mind some of em shouldnt be allowed to carry a bag of stones and a slingshot. And you worry if you could catch mad cow from just listening. It appears that turkey legs are the special for today Thelma Lou barely gets the platter to the table as the four fellas are each clutching a turkey leg and chewing and grinning with a greasy mouth. I guess I am a little bit too judgmental. Because I reckon some mamas did have fools. Take the one fella that appears to be still hungry though hes about 125 pounds overweight. He leans back and expels a burp. Now hes dug a finger in his ear, roots for a moment, then withdraws the tip for inspection. Perhaps hes guilty of playing with a home lobotomy kit at one time out of boredom. And the conversation, filled with one curse word after another, turns to the sec-

February was eye-opening. I spent almost the entire month talking with voters in Council District 4, and across our community, who sought me out and encouraged me to run for City Council. I eventually decided not to run this time, and many of you continue to ask me why I made that decision. Prior to the City Council meeting in February, I never seriously listened to those urging me to run for Council. At that meeting, two agenda items directly affecting the revitalization of the downtown area died for lack of a motion and lack of a second. With no motion and no second, Mayor Logan could not even call for discussion, let alone call for a vote. This was not the first time agenda items concerning downtown have met the same end. Clearly something had to change if downtown revitalization was to ever be a real, sustained priority to the Council. During the weeks that followed I met with Councilman Opiela, and we discussed the many opportunities and challenges that await the City of Gonzales. Inevitably our conversation always circled back to downtown, and more specifically to the huge, untapped economic potential of the downtown commercial district. Downtown commercial Gonzales exists entirely in District 4, the district represented by Councilman Opiela. But what happens in downtown affects every single person in Gonzales. What happens to downtown Gonzales affects the downtown property owners, the business owners, the people who work in those businesses, and the people who frequent them. What happens in downtown Gonzales affects how visitors view Gonzales, and it affects their decisions on whether to move to Gonzales to raise a family or to retire or to invest in a business. The downtown commercial district will never look like it did in 1950. Business and the world have changed, dramatically. Big box stores and bypasses have been game changers. But as Clarence and I discussed repeatedly, within easy reach of every voter and every elected official are no less than three professional (developed with a broad base of citizen input)

This is a transcription of an interview with Texas Historical Shootist Society (THSS) members Glenn Urbanek and Steve Harlica heard on The News from the Camphouse on KULM 98.3 FM. Brune: THSS is the first organized cowboy action shooting club in Texas. They have been utilizing my familys home property for more than 20 years. As a landowner its difficult to keep track of members and friends. They have real names, but are often known by the alias names used for competition. So, Rowdy, whats your real name? Harlica: My real name is Steve Harlica. I use the bwestern moniker made famous by Clint Eastwood in the television series Rawhide. Youll see members that use movie character names, historical names, and then some folks make up a name like Bob Wire. Brune: Okay, on the other hand Glenn Urbanek is with us and thats his real name. Glenn, tell us about your alias. Urbanek: My alias is

Cowboy action shooting and Trailhead 2014

Looking Down from the Saddle
Herman Brune
1990, here on the Brune property. Brune: Let me make a point. This was the fastest growing shooting sport throughout the 1990s. Prior to the first organized match a group of gentlemen approached me with an idea. We chewed on the particulars and then shook hands. We are operating 25 years later on that original handshake. Now, we also have the Yaupon Creek Silhouette Association using our long range facilities. They likewise have a handshake deal. Then we have the Trail Riders of Houston motorcycle club that uses our property on Brunes Mill Road. Guess what? Thats a handshake deal too. In a day and age when people promise each other the world, but three weeks later it falls apart due to an immature notion I think it is a strong statement to a persons integrity when they keep their word. A persons word is their bond and a person is only as good as their word. Urbanek: One of the mainstays of cowboy action shooting was taking people back to the days of the Old West. Those were the days when a persons word was their bond. There was no need for thousands of lawyers every time you turned around. It was part of the creed, the cowboy code, its part of the image of the Western Man that cowboy action shooting wants to present. We try to go back to the Old West not only in the way we conduct our shooting, but in the way we conduct ourselves, and the way we conduct our business. Brune: Most folks know that I guide hunters up north in wilderness areas. Ive had deals to work with outfitters that were agreed upon years in advance. If I said I was going to be at a certain place, at a certain time, for several months, a year in advance the outfitter knew that is exactly what was going to happen. Likewise, Ive been stranded in northern Montana without a vehicle and no way home. I called a broncriding buddy, in October,

revitalization plans outlining what has worked in other communities and what can and will work in Gonzales. These specific plans provide the road map for downtown revitalization, and can ignite its huge economic potential and restore its beauty and purpose. Read a quote from the first paragraph in the economy section of the City of Gonzales Comprehensive Plan compiled by Texas A&M and adopted by the City just last December: Heed a historically recognizable, economically vital, and delightfully walkable Texas-style town with remarkable and revitalized tourism-related business. Revisit the Councils most recent goals and objectives reaffirming their commitment to the VIP Plan and the Texas A&M recommendations. Both of those plans rank the re-

vitalization of downtown as the strongest sustainable economic driver for the City of Gonzales. After a couple of faceto-face conversations with my Councilman, a really good new idea emerged. Councilman Opiela suggested he set up a regularly scheduled time to meet with those who live, and work, and vote in his district prior to city council meetings giving them an opportunity to honestly (and respectfully) express their opinions on issues concerning their district and the city before those issues come to a vote. It was then I came to realize I didnt need to run for Council to have an effective voice. I already had one. And it was then I clearly understood that each and every one of us needs to do a better job of communicating with our elected representative. And now, we have a great opportunity to do just that every Saturday morning immediately preceding the regular scheduled council meeting. The first of these regular District 4 meetings will be held at 8:30 Saturday, March 29, in the meeting room of Rodeo Restaurant, 107 Saint Joseph Street, Downtown Gonzales.

ond amendment. I am finished with chewing on the chicken fried, but I have not digested any wisdom from my looking and listening. So over coffee, I continue to linger. Call it loitering if you will. Theres a couple at the other end of the little cafe. In their late 50s or early 60s is my guesstimate. What catches my eye is that hes dressed out in an outfit like hes the lead character in a musical comedy. Has to be traveling through. His selection of attire is definitely not small town Texana in style. Perhaps it wouldve fit in in the 19 and 60s or 70s but not today. Polyester pants. Bell-bottom in nature. With a wide white belt. And a paisley shirt, basically a blouse. And the woman. Severely subdued next to him. Grey-haired and tanned. Though a senior she sports a quasi-adult figure clad in denim pants and a mans work shirt. Comfy as all get out. Both are enraptured with their smartphones. I cannot, with conscience, fault them. Dr. Deb, the wife, and I are guilty as well. When we eat out. Catching up on the news by way of USA Today and Drudge and Huffington Post apps. In the corner, at a table for two, sits a gal. All alone. Id say she is in her early 20s. But she has a lush maturity about. Theres a vacant gaze about her. As she takes halfhearted bites from a burger and halfhearted sips from her water glass. Shes alone and somethings on her mind. A character flaw of mine is that I tend to imagine whats inside other folks heads on occasion. Such as now. Thinking about why the woman seems to have drifted off into a private abyss. Maybe shes just left a doctors office. And is now waiting results of a biopsy. Possibly informed of a death in the family. Or left a courthouse in tears as a judge deemed the I-DOS werent all that mutual while granting a divorce. My tab amounts to 11 dollars and 28 cents, including tax. I place a five and a sawbuck by the plate and stand up to depart the country cafe. One last and cautious glance at the woman at a corner table becomes a static image, as complete as a photograph, as I head out the door. And consciously pray that her day gets better. Now Im back on the road and again heading ... down the road

Charles Goodnight. That is a historical name. If you are familiar with the movie Lonesome Dove it was based on the adventures of Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving. Goodnight was portrayed as Captain Call and Loving was Gus McCrae played by Robert Duval. If you are interested in Texas History and want to know about someone that had a big impact on Texas then read about Charles Goodnight. Brune: What year did THSS begin? Urbanek: The organizational meeting for the club was in 1989. The first organized match was in March,

and asked him to come and pick me up from a local caf at 4:00 p.m. late in November on Thanksgiving. I didnt talk to him again for the next six weeks. But I knew hed drive 1800 miles and be at the caf at 4:00 p.m. Thats the way a persons honor and word is supposed to work. Nowadays, its all about the mefor-me and, I-want-itright-now mentality that allows social acceptance to someone getting their shorts in a wad, foregoing their word, and ultimately diminishing the definition of human integrity. Besides the social aspects of belonging to a gun club, please elaborate on the political benefits. Urbanek: The Single Action Shootist Society (SASS) is the largest organization of cowboy shooters in the U.S. They have almost 100,000 members. There are also many cowboy shooters that dont belong to SASS. We cater to families, and we want the women to shoot with us, and well get the kids going BRUNE, Page A6

as soon as theyre ready. Anytime you get the populace involved in shooting sports more people are going to understand what firearms mean to the citizens of the country. In some places people blow off the 2nd Amendment because theyre told they dont need firearms, or that firearms are only good for killing. But once people come out and shoot with a club, and they learn you can have fun with a firearm they become more involved. There are a lot of lady shooters that at

one time had no use for firearms. Now, theyre some of the best shooters in the club because they understand a gun isnt just for killing. And as people become more aware of the value of owning firearms and having fun with them you become more passionate about the 2nd Amendment. Brune: How many cowboy shooting clubs are in Texas? Urbanek: There are more than 40 clubs. Theyre scattered all over Texas. When we were the only club in the state our monthly average was 125 shooters. Now, ev-

ery weekend you have a choice, in Texas, where youd like to shoot cowboy action competition. Harlica: This isnt just about Texas. Every state and most European countries have cowboy shooting clubs. Weve got a gentleman coming from England to shoot this year, and in the past weve had a wide array of folks from all over the world. Trailhead is March 20 -23 on fm 1890, five miles north of Columbus, Texas, off of Highway 71N. Public admittance is free and there is a bullriding and free chili Friday night, March 21, at 7 p.m.

AUSTIN Gov. Rick Perry reacted sharply Tuesday to the force reductions to the Texas Army National Guard ordered by the National Guard Bureau. There are many ways to balance the federal budget, but this decision to eliminate the 72nd Infantry Brigade Combat Teams headquarters risks Texas ability to properly respond to hurricanes, floods, wildfires and other natural disasters, and is short-sighted, Perry said in a news release. Over the past decade, the Texas Guard has responded to more than 150 disasters in Texas and surrounding states, saving countless lives and helping families in distress. The Texas Guard also plays a vital role in our nations War on Terror, he added. Diminishing the Guards capacity to help

in a time of national need is irresponsible. Instead of eliminating the 72nd Infantry Brigade Combat Teams headquarters, we must do all we can to support the citizensoldiers we rely on to protect our safety, and our nation. The headquarters component of the brigade, which served in Kosovo and Iraq and responded to three hurricanes would lose its headquarters under a Pentagon proposal. The 175 soldiers with the Houston-based brigade headquarters would be reassigned to other units in the state. The 72nd Infantry Brigade, part of the 36th Infantry Division, dates to Camp Bowie in 1917. Some brigade regiments served in U.S.-Mexico border skirmishes during the Pancho Villa era and fought in both world wars.

Master Gardeners gear up for Spring Plant Sale

Square for their annual Spring Plant Sale. This year the event will be April 5 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. or until sold out (whichever comes first). The Master Gardeners always have a variety of plants at the sale and this year will be no different. We plan to have some interesting plants this year, said Plant Sale Chair Fran Saliger, including Cestrum, willow tree vine, pigeonberry and several kinds of cacti. With no break in the drought in sight, we are emphasizing water wise plantings. The Gonzales Master Gardeners use this opportunity to answer local gardeners questions about horticulture and help them find some well adapted plants that will do well in this area. Widely touted as the best tomato plants in town, the sale will have a variety of vegetables including peppers, squash, eggplant, and more. We grow our own vegetables, Jim Johnson, Vegetable Grow Team Leader said. That way we know our public is getting plants that are acclimated to this area and will perform well for them. We will have everything you need for your spring garden and we are happy to talk to you about your questions and challenges. The sale will also offer herbs including a wide variety of mint, and Provence lavender, which is one of the few lavenders that do well in this area. The event raises funds to support the Gonzales Master Gardeners programs which reached over 980 local school children and offered free public adult education programs on a variety of topics this year. Our goal is to reach as many children as we can, Gail Johnson, this years president said. This year we have continued the Eggleston Childrens Garden Program for first graders, provided hands on learning on the parts of a plant to support the second-grade TEKS requirements, and planted black walnut tree seeds with the third grade to teach conservation. Last year, we planted gourds with the third grade and this year the same children will be using those gourds in their fourth-grade art classes. As part of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, this all volunteer organization is dedicated to providing horticulture and conservation education to the community. The Gonzales Master Gardeners say

Porter says expanding natural gas use means good jobs and clean air
LONGVIEW Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter hosted a workshop in Longview today for area fleet managers and oil field operators on how they can save money and increase the market for Texas natural gas, as part of his initiative to promote natural gas as a transportation fuel in Texas. Growing the market for natural gas vehicles helps sustain and expand goodpaying jobs in the oil patch and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, Commissioner Porter said. In the past year, employment in the oil and gas sector in Texas grew more than five percent, allowing Texas to continue to lead the nation in job creation. This workshop is intended to help more fleet managers and oil field operators make the transition to natural gas, both to save money and keep generating goodpaying jobs for Texans. Panels consisting of area transportation directors and oil field operators already using natural gas presented their experiences and discussed advantages and barriers. Representatives from Anadarko Petroleum, Centerpoint Energy, Halliburton, J-W Power, NDMJ Transportation and Tristate Midstream outlined the cost savings they have seen by using natural gas in their operations. Most of the time during each panel was allotted to audience discussion with the panelists, so that operators could address their important issues, concerns, perceived barriers and opportunities for growing the market for natural gas in Texas. The purpose of Commissioner Porters statewide NGV Initiative is to increase the volume of natural gas used in Texas as a transportation fuel by facilitating communication between potential consumers, existing users and regulators. It will consist of a series of statewide events throughout this year. The next event will be held in Laredo on April 17 at the Uni-Trade Stadium followed by a Statewide NGV Summit that will convene in late summer/early fall of 2014 in Austin.

quick to lobby for instead naming streets after some of Gonzales famed heroes, such as Capt., Albert Martin, a member of the Old Eighteen and the leader of the Gonzales Immortals Alamo Relief Force. The initial phase includes 12 of the sites 55 acres. Kunz said Tuesday that local builder Ken Morrow was the first builder to launch a project, and will be building eight townhomes on the site. The first phase will also include nine single-family lots and an assisted living center. Ken Morrow is a local builder who has proven he can build a nice house, Kunz said. We expect the 24 units of the assisted living center to start this spring. The eight townhome units (1,080

square feet each) will have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on two floors. The remaining 17 single-family lots in Phase I are set to open later in the year. This is the first time a masterplanned community has come to Gonzales, he said. People in the urban areas are used to the idea, but you dont see it so much in the small towns. He said he chose Gonzales because of its location as the gateway to the Eagle Ford Shale and for its rich history and culture. The location is idea, he said. We have two great amenities with the natural ravines, its right next to the Hospital and Mr. Mohrmanns pharmacy, and shopping is very close. This is the place to build a house in an organized way.

An apartment complex is also planned on the site, with a contract currently under review. Kunz said the units will be available at market rates, not subsidized housing. We have pretty high standards for construction ... youll have something better than cookie-cutter homes here, he said, explaining that a homeowners association has already been set up to regulate the area and keep property values up. The proximity to Gonzales Memorial Hospital and Country Village Square senior living center, as well as the planned assisted center in 1835 Village, gives families a unique opportunity, he said. You can walk to visit your grandparents, its that close by, he said. Thats the small-town life people appreciate.

WAELDER Waelder ISD school trustees on Monday terminated the districts contract with its financial advisor. The board voted to terminate the agreement with Coastal Securities, Inc., and replaced their services with U.S. Capital Advisors as financial advisors to the District. Susan Richardson told trustees that Coastal Advisors was not proactive any more since several people left. They no longer call to remind us of upcoming dates or changes in the bond market. U.S. Capital Advisors was formed six to eight months ago by the people who left Coastal Advisors. Coastal Advisors is moving away from advising school districts, she said. Trustees cancelled the May 10 WISD Trustee Election due to lack of opposing

the required Certification of Unopposed Candidates, Ordinance to Cancel Election, and the Order of Cancellation. Dora Noyola and Diana Olmos retain their positions as Trustees. Superintendent Mark Weisner said the district is advertising in eight places for the opening of principal, and has received 32 applications. Some of the candidates are from out of state, but most are from Education Service Center Region 13, he said. Weisner said only two bids were received for the black top project: one for the canopy and one for the court. The board voted to cap the cost for the black top project at $150,000. The board also approved the 2014-2015 School Calendar, and the Instructional Materials Allotment & TEKS Certification, 20142015. There were no budget amendments.

landed upright and caught on fire on County Road 198 about one-tenth of a mile west of Farm-to-Market Road 957. Both Foster, who was in the front right seat, and Jalufka were ejected from the vehicle. Foster was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:13 p.m. by Lavaca County Justice of the Peace Mike Andes. Jalufka was transported

to a Hallettsville hospital with what DPS described as non-life-threatening injuries. Two others in the truck, Cecelia Loos, 18, and Dennis Phillips, 19, were taken to a hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. A fifth teenager, Gavin Ford, 16, was flown by helicopter to an Austin hospital. An investigation into the accident continues.

TRUSTEES: N-SCISD student numbers rise

Continued from page A1

Booth reported that enrollment figures continue to fluctuate but are about 35 students up from last years numbers, with a current total enrollment of 1,054. She said families continue to move into the district, although housing remains in short supply.

I dont know where theyre living, but theyre squishing them in there, she said. The board also approved calling for elections to two trustee positions. Early voting will run April 28-May 6 with Election Day set May 10 for Trustee Position 4 (Diana P. Moreno) and Position 6 (Clay Allen).

The Rotary Club of Gonzales presented a $2,500 donation to the city of Gonzales for lighting at Gonzales Memorial Museum. This service project was elected by the club to foster its mission of service and goodwill to society. Rotarys project will benefit one of our citys national treasures by providing up-lighting to the large oak trees on the north and south side of the museum and amphitheater. The city plans to have the light installation completed prior to the hospital gala event scheduled for May 3.

Port A is Texas very own island oasis

The island oasis of Port Aransas, Texas, is a favorite vacation spot for beach camping, fishing, and hunting for buried treasure. Thats right, hunting for buried treasure. After you locate Nessie in City by the Sea, continue south on I-35 BUS toward Aransas Pass. Take 361 through town, and follow the signs for the free ferry to Port Aransas, the only city on Mustang Island. Whether crossing with your bicycle, car, or RV, the short ferry ride alone is worth the trip. It was easy to board the ferry in my RV they gave me two lanes. The wait to board the ferry is usually under ten minutes, except during spring break or the Fourth of July. Once you disembark, youre on island time and youll find the pace relaxed. Known to the locals as Port A, the town is full of bright, pastel-colored restaurants, boutiques and souvenir shops, their signs announcing never-ending bargains. RV parks, cottages, and beaches make up the rest of the small island town. Camping on the Beach

Every so often, youve just got to take a break

After about seven months, even the best situations day in and day out get tedious. When the situation is less than ideal the days can get really long and seemingly endless. When we sign up for a year long contract we get two breaks or vacations. It is not always easy to take the breaks due to staffing, mission, visas, or a myriad of other things. When the planets do finally all align, it is time to go home. Even though it will only be for a little while, the break is much needed to relax, recharge and recommit. Ill be headed home any day now. The visa applications and travel procedures are already moving so Im just waiting for the word. This will be my first break since coming on this contract. I will wait for the call and meet the PSD team that will transport me down the road to the airport. Once there Ill pick up a taxi and make my way to the terminal and hopefully home without a hitch, (they do happen here, after all it is Iraq.) Im going to be traveling light as Ive learned over the course of the many many trips Ive been on, that the less you take the easier it is. Ill only be carrying my backpack and that will be carried onboard by me. No chance of lost luggage like happened to me on the flight over here. Ill be headed home for a little R & R but that is not all. After my break is finished, Ill be headed to the company training headquarters and pick up my new dog. Mad, the canine that I have been with since June is going to a new assignment so while Im back in the States, Ill get the leave and new dog assignment all knocked out in one trip. Just makes sense to me and Im sure the company not having to fly me back and forth when it can be done this way. It is exciting for me to get the opportunity to go to the new state of the art training center and soak up as much knowledge as possible. You never know it all and if you think you do some new guy will prove you wrong. For me, I cant get enough of the training and instruction. I guess I am a lifelong learner. At least that is what my wife calls it. It will most likely take a few weeks training to be partnered with a new four-footed friend and go through the certification

process. As Ive mentioned before we are certified as a team, dog and handler. One cant work without the other so we have to learn to work together and pass a series of exacting tests to redeploy back to my post in Iraq. Naturally, Im always nervous when I have to test through something, anything really. I think it is human nature to be anxious even though you have been through and pass the tests many times before. There can always be a bad day for the handler or the dog. Neither of us are machines so it does happen. I feel comfortable that the testing officials have all been there before and can see when things just fall apart for a normally good team. I dont want to be in that situation of course but I know if the unthinkable happened the test official would be fair. These are professionals to the last degree and I trust in that knowledge. Once certified again with my new partner, Ill be headed back down range so another handler can take their long deserved break. I wonder what type of dog Ill get this time? Shepherd? Belgium Malinois? Wiener dog?(just kidding). No matter what type of dog it is, they will be good and together we will be one of the best tools there is for detecting explosives. All the studies, all the machines and money spent trying to build the better tool for detection have all failed when compared to the team of a well-trained handler and his detection canine. Im proud to be counted among them. Waiting for the first thing smoking, Im Jon Harris. And this has been a Dispatch form Downrange.

Reyes returns Tejano sound to KCTI

By DAVE MUNDY
manager@gonzalescannon.com

Radio station KCTI AM 1450 has announced a program change guaranteed to warm the hearts of the regions Tejano music fans. The station will now include Tejano music from 10 p.m.-midnight every weeknight, Monday through Friday with the Caliente con La Campanera Angie Reyes show. Im a real people person, and Ive been real excited by the response weve gotten from sponsors so far, said Reyes, whose show will be broadcast live. Itll be basically Tex-Mex music. I like music and I like to dance, and I think the audience is here. Reyes originally had a weekend Tejano music show on KCTI about 10 years ago, and just moved back to Gonzales after several years in San Antonio. I already have people calling left and right, Reyes said. Thats one thing, a lot of Tejano fans in this area, they really dont have a lot of choice (in radio). And Hispanics Angie Reyes, who first aired a Tejano weekend show more thana decade ago on local radio station KCTI 1450AM, is now hosting a weeknight show from 10 p.m.midnight. (Photo by Dave Mundy)

stick together, the people Ive heard from so far are very excited. She said this is one way to grow KCTIs regional audience, as well. We have a lot of the older audience during the day, she said. We scheduled the show later at night, when you have

younger listeners. KCTI AM 1450 is excited to be able to bring Tejano back to our listeners, said Dian Myers, KCTI Station Manager. Were proud to once again have Angie Reyes hosting the show, she worked for KCTI many years ago and is anxious to get back on the air.

GHS a little nervous against La Grange

By MARK LUBE
sportseditor@gonzalescannon.com

Young and inexperienced players are always going to be a little nervous. Throw in facing the topranked team in the state and the nervousness will likely increase. The Gonzales Lady Apaches fell to the No. 1 La Grange Lady Leopards 14-1 in five innings Tuesday evening at Lady Apache field. We were more intimidated than anything, Gonzales head coach Amanda Parsons said. Most of our players are on varsity for the first time. The Lady Leps finished the game with 13 hits, committed no errors and held Gonzales to one run on one hit. La Grange is good. They got a bunch of hits and their pitcher did well, Parsons said. She said Gonzales needs to improve its approach at the plate and make simple plays on defense. I preach jumping on the first strike, Parsons said. I think we need to swing hard and be more aggressive. We need to make routine plays. If you cannot make the routine plays, you will not be able to make the hard plays. Make all of the routine plays and you will likely win the game. In the first inning,

The Gonzales girls track team has been progressing very nice this season and could make a strong challenge for the district championship, according to head coach Cully Doyle, The girls track and field team has come a long ways and has the chance to win a district championship this season, he said. We are in a tough district and tough area. We will have to run, jump and throw very well at District and the Area track meet just to get to Regionals. We are doing really, really well as compared

to previous years, Molly Barnick said.We are striving for a district championship which is realistic for us this year. We have a lot of good athletes and will continue to do well. Barnick, who is a high jumper, has reached a height of 5 feet and plans to get 5-4 at the district meet. Molly has unbelievable potential at the high jump, Doyle said. Junior Bailey Connell said the team has been working on their selfdiscipline and feels that is what will give them a boost in the district meet.

ering from a surgery but is coming along fine. Ericka Hernandez competed in the state meet at shot put last year and has done well at both shot and discus, while also competing in powerlifting at the same time, qualifying for the state meet for the second year in a row. Erika has the God-given ability to win the State Track meet, Doyle said. It has gotten better because I have been working on my technique a lot, Hernandez said. We worry about technique and not how far I throw. She said she threw about 39 feet in shot put last year and has gotten 45 feet in practice this season. Hernandezs discus throw has been around 120 feet She has the desire to compete in both events at state I have to get 130 or 140 in discus and over 39 in shot to make state, Hernandez said. Brittany Walker run the 100 hurdles, throws both discus and shot and does the long jump. Coach Doyle has me do a lot of drills and I have come a long way, she said. Walker said her strongest event is the 100 hurdles and ideally would

want 15 seconds to make state but would be happy with 16 seconds. Walker would also like to be successful in district and beyond in discus. Senior pole vaulter Danyelle Glass has placed first at several meets this year. She is an exceptional pole vaulter, Doyle said. Girls mile relay of Kelsey Hardy, Kendall Fougerat, Ebonique Harris and Krisslynn Sexton has run really well this season. The girls have already

ran faster than they have ran in the last several years in Gonzales on this mile relay and they are still three weeks away from District, he said. These girls want to be good and show it when they practice this year. I appreciate the hard work they have put in and it will pay off when it counts the most. We have gotten a lot stronger since day one, Sexton said. Our time improves every week. As a whole, we get faster and better each week. Sexton said the team

wants a four-minute race heading into the district. Hardy has also make strides in the triple jump. Kelsey is becoming a very good triple jumper and I expect her to perform at a high level at District, he said. Doyle added that the distance runners are gradually improving that part of the team and that Keaundra Cray, another discus thrower, should do well at district. He is happy with the level of participation in the girls track program.

Lenten Season gets underway, then comes Easter

This time of the year is always wonderful if it rains enough to let the farmers plant their crops and let the ranchers have enough grass for their livestock. It is delightful to open your windows and listen to the birds singing. You know from past experience that I have a bird feeder to which I have enticed the Red Birds or Cardinals to partake of the food Will puts out for them. So on this second subject, please take note. Lenten Services start this Wednesday in Gonzales. Lunch is served so that those people who are working can grab a quick bite to eat and get back to work. Lenten Services will be held each week Wednesday until Easter. Out at Monthalia United Methodist Church and Belmont United Methodist times for the services are swapped around and changed on Easter Sunday. On April 18th Good Friday Service is at 7PM. We have Easter Sunrise Service at 7AM at Monthalia, then comes breakfast, and then comes the big Easter service inside the sanctuary at 9 AM. Then comes the Easter

We are grateful for the rain that we got, but we sure could use some more. Wade and Lola Wilson enjoyed some welcome visitors on Saturday. Wades sister, Betty Lou and husband, Matt had to make a trip to Yoakum so that just popped in for a quick visit with Wade and Lola. They were blessed to have a good day for the drive down here from Tyler as the week before all of their electrical power was off for around five days. They heated their house with just a wood fire place/heater. Betty Lou got out her Coleman camping stove to fix their meals and coffee. Then it went off a second time but they got it back on faster. It depleted their pile of wood pretty bad. Matt still has not received the prosthesis for his leg that was amputated. They ate a quick meal that Lola cooked and took her goody bag of food and hit the road; making it back a

little after midnight. We used to try to make a pun and say that Patricia and Rick and all the little Bales showed up from Ohio. Now we have to modify that quite a bit and say that all the grown up, beautiful, handsome, and tall Bales from Ohio or there about have shown up. Atalle is a gorgeous young lady with a degree in photography. She had cards with her photography on them that she was selling. I think I have this correct that Josiah is the youngest but the tallest of the boys. Caleb is still hanging in there for future reference. Doug Lott did a number on us and moves from hospital to hospital so fast that we cannot keep up with him. On Sunday afternoon Doug was taken to Guadalupe Regional and then onward to Metropolitan Methodist being treated for a stroke. He stayed there long enough for them to stabilize him with doctors saying that it was minor damage to the brain and things were better. Come Monday morning it was changed to TTP. This is a serious and

rare blood disorder where small blood clots form in all of the veins. Of course these clots do their damage any place they want to and it is unpredictable. One treatment is a plasma exchange and that is done at the Baptist. Which Baptist, I dont know. However, he was transferred there Monday morning. Connie is overwhelmed with phone calls, and asks for your prayers. A lot of information is being passed around through emails. A very horrific traffic accident occurred on Hwy 90A in the midst of a downpour of rain right in front of the Harborth house. That is not the first time that tree has gotten some one. The mother worked at Mr.Taco in Gonzales I was told. The man, died instantly along with his little one year old daughter. Ritas young child survived. If the details are not exactly correct, forgive me. I just know that when something like this happens in our community that we all hurt. It is personal. She filled our tea glass. We pray for all of you. We pray for the EMS, the law enforce-

ment personnel that had to work in the midst of this and go home to their families. Life is just hard sometimes. And talk about life being hard sometimes; lets pray a few extra prayers for L A, as he needs them at the moment. Sean Allen came home from Blinn College for spring break and went to The Heights to visit several of the residents, one of them being Shirley Dozier. Shirley was wide awake and talking. She and Sean nearly hugged each other to pieces. Shirley told Sean that he needed to get a haircut because that is what Marc would tell him. He also looked in on Marie Schauer. Sean went to church with his with his Paw Paw Allen all decked out in a new suit.We are very proud of Sean as he has already found him a job for the summer up at Blinn. My news is getting too long so I will have to tell you about Sweet Pea and her encounter with the bovine next week. It was a sight that is for sure. I hope that everyone enjoys their spring break. God Bless.

Listening to your conscience, facing the truth

Are you living a defeated Christian life? Then its time to open up your spiritual eyes! As strange as this may sound, living by sight alone will keep us in the dark. Faith is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. (Heb 11:1) We cant expect to live a victorious life if we continue to dwell on things that will cause us to doubt God. The facts of life can easily blind us to the absolute truth of scripture, because human nature bases reality on what is supported by our five senses. Believing only in what can be experienced in the natural sense will cloud our spiritual understanding and ultimately keep us from experiencing the full salvation package. We have the power through Christ to overcome the things that once held us in bondage to sin and to the devil, but we must believe it to receive it. If we continue to lean on our own understanding we will be deceived by the evident facts of life. Christ death was meant to bring us back into the wholeness of body, soul and spirit that we were designed to have. This wont happen without unwavering belief in what God has said. Paul mentions the belt of truth as the first piece of armor we should use against the schemes of the devil. (Eph 6:14) Christ asked this of His father before He died...My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you

Love, Eloise
Eloise Estes
protect them from the evil one...sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth (John 17:15-17). The Word of God is called the Sword of the Spirit for a very good reason. Its our ultimate fighting weapon to be used against the enemy. Weve got to learn the truth to shield ourselves from the things that come against us. Let me show you what I mean... The fact is you are bone tired and dont think you can get through the day. The truth is that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. (Philippians 4:13) The fact is that disease has attacked your body and it is slowly dying. The truth is you have already been healed by Christs death on the cross. Christ has lifted up and removed your sicknesses and carried away your diseases (Isaiah 53:4-5), whats more, No weapon formed against you will prosper. (Isaiah 54:17) The fact is that people are coming up against you and are trying to take you down. The truth is that every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. You are from God,

and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. (1John 4:4) The fact is you are lonely and afraid of having to do things alone. The truth is God loves you, knows your thoughts and watches over you day and night. Nothing can separate you from his love...not death nor life, not angels or demons, not your fears for today nor worries about tomorrow, not even the powers of hell can separate you from Gods love. (Romans 8:38) Dont be intimidated. God will strengthen you and help you. (Isaiah 41:10) The fact is that you are a believer whose family members are lost in worldly pleasures. The truth is that your household will also be saved. (Acts 16:31) If youve trained your children in the way they should go, when they get old they will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6) The fact is that your life is in danger and you are afraid. The truth is that when you pass through the waters, God will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze because God will save you. (Isaiah 43:2-3) There is nothing to fear because God is your light and your salvation, the stronghold of your life. (Psalm 27:1) God watches over all who love him, but all

the wicked he will destroy. (Psalm 145:20) Because you love God he will rescue you; he will be with you in trouble and protect you. (Psalm 91:14-15) The fact is that you are feeling anxious and confused. The truth is that if you trust in God with all your heart and acknowledge him, he will show you the way. (Proverbs 3:5-6) The fact is you dont have a dime to your name. The truth is you are

an heir to the king and all that is Christs is also yours. (Galatians 3:29) The fact is you dont have a clear vision of your future. The truth is that God created you and had a plan for your life before you left the womb. The plans he has for you are for good and not for harm, plans to prosper you and give you hope for a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) Jesus promised to give us abundant life (John 10:10),

but he also said that he was sending us out as sheep in the midst of wolves (Matt. 10:16). So put into practice what you believe. Resist temptation and prove yourself to be a doer of the word, not merely a hearer. (James 1:22) God keep you safe till next time... love, eloise friend me at loveeloise or visit loveeloise.com

Kelsey Beth Fougerat and Tyson Ellis Bouler exchanged wedding vows at a double-ring ceremony on August 17, 2013 in Luling, Texas with Pastor Ildiko Rigney officiating.

Tyson is the grandson of Alfred Reinhard and the late Gloria Ann Reinhard and the late Ariel and Josephine Bouler. The garden wedding ceremony and reception washeld at the historic Zedler Mill on the banks of the San Marcos River. A rustic arch made from cedar posts and built by the brides father created the altar for the ceremony. The arch was decorated with large floral arrangements in the top corners consisting of coral, pink, and orange Konfetti roses, salmon colored hydrangeas and accented with Italian Ruscus greenery and draped with an ivory organza scarf. Two large antique nail kegs were filled with large floral creations and adorned each side of the arch as well. These arrangements contained Coral Gladiolas, white spider mums, salmon hydrangeas, coral, Konfetti, and pink roses, curly willow, coral wisteria, yellow salidago, seeded eucalyptus, misty blue filler, green hypericum, and Italian Ruscus. The bride was escorted to the ceremonial arch by her father while Pachelbels, Canon in D played. The bride wore an ivory, lace formal gown designed by Allure featuring a sweetheart neckline. She was absolutely breathtaking in this strapless gown designed with a slim fitted bodice and a satin ruched waistband, embellished with delicate lace appliques and Swarovski crystals. The gown cascaded to a fit and flair skirt, trimmed with a lace hem line and chapel length train. To complement the gown, the bride wore a hair piece fashioned with ivory lace, crystals and accented with coral, the brides chosen color along with coral heels. She carried a beautiful hand held bouquet featuring Movie Star- coral colored roses, Vendella and Konfetti roses, as well as green hypericum, cream and soft green Hydrangeas, and Israeli Ruscus.

They carried smaller replicas of the brides bouquet featuring Orange Unique roses, Pink and Konfetti roses, with Green Hypericum and Israeli Ruscus. The handles were also wrapped with burlap and lace and embellished with a small Swarovski crystal broach. Kacey Bass, served as the flower girl and wore an adorable ivory tulle gown with a coral bodice adorned rose petals and embellished with pearls and crystals. She also wore similar turquoise and Swarovski crystal jewelry, a gift from the bride and carried a natural wicker basket adorned with small wooden hearts with initials T and K and filled with coral rose petals which she scattered to create a path for the brides entrance. The best man was Cody Bouler, brother of the groom. Groomsmen were Scottie Schwartz, Ty Brzozowski, Jacob Tipp and Tel Lindemann, all close friends of the groom. Ushers were Doug Bass and Doug Patton, close friends of the groom. Case Cerny served as the ring bearer and he carried an ivory pillow tied with jute ribbon and adorned with a few coral flowers which held the wedding bands. Kiley Allen, Madelyne Brown, Bre Wolff, and Madison Stamport handed out wedding programs as guests arrived and watched over the registry table. Guests were seated on the rock pews of the amphitheater at Zedler Mill overlooking the San Marcos River. Vintage blue mason jars with jute handles hanging on shepherds hooks lined the aisle and held bouquets of coral roses, green hypericum, yellow salidago, and Bells of Ireland. The mother of the bride chose a long gown by Betsy and Adam featuring a nude bodice with black lace and an off the shoulder scalloped neckline with a fit and flare style attached skirt accented with a wide satin sash that tied at the waist. The reception began immediately following the wedding ceremony at Zedler Mill Pavilion. Guests enjoyed appetizers consisting of ham and cheese cubes, crackers, snack mix, fruit trays, oreo truffles, cream cheese and poppy seed rolls, and a chocolate fountain with fresh fruit until the meal was served shortly after. Guests were seated at round tables covered with ivory linen tablecloths. Each table was adorned with assorted wood slices topped with crystal votives and vintage Mason jars and vases adorned with burlap, lace, and crystals accents and filled with an assortment of variegated pittisporum, Coral pink and Konfetti roses, yellow salidago, green hypericum and Bells of Ireland placed on burlap runners with lace accents. Displayed throughout the venue were several bridal portraits on easels and several engagement photos of the couple.

or pineapple separated the layers. This delicious confection was embellished with turquoise paisley swirls and the middle tier was accented with a large burlap bow and Swarovski crystal brooch. The cake was topped with a crystal B and was displayed on a very large wood slab. The grooms cake was a delectable two-tiered German Chocolate Cake adorned with chocolate covered strawberries drizzled with turquoise accents and was also displayed on a large wood slab. After the meal, guests enjoyed a Grand March led by Mr. and Mrs. Randall Tipp, friends of the bride and groom. Kelsey and Tyson shared their first dance as a married couple to First Date for the Last Time by Todd Fritsch. Afterwards, Kelsey and her dad danced the traditional father-daughter dance to I Can Love You by Gary Allan. After enjoying the night dancing to music provided by Gordon Land DJ and visiting with guests, the bride and groom departed as guests blew bubbles to bid them farewell. On the eve of the wedding, a rehearsal dinner was hosted by the grooms father at the Belmont Social Club where the guests enjoyed either chicken fried steak or grilled chicken breast and all the trimmings. Tyson and Kelsey have made their home in Gonzales, Texas.

Secretary/Treasurer Pat Wenzel read the minutes from the Feb. meeting and gave the Treasurers report. She reported that we had a very successful fundraiser with our Annual Chili Supper and Auction. We want to thank the many businesses and individuals who donated items for our auction. We want to thank Donny Richter, our auctioneer. We want to thank those who attended and bid on the wonderful variety of items. Without the donors and bidders we would not be able to give scholarships to deserving Gonzales County Seniors. Applications for our scholarships are due by April 1. Seniors should meet with their counselors or give their application directly to a club member. We wished our March Birthday Ladies, Cheri Willard, LaVerne Davis and Pat Wenzel, best wishes with many more to come. We also discussed our April Day Out and received 3 wonderful suggestions.

Special to The Cannon

Twenty members of the Thompsonville Ladies Club enjoyed a wonderful lunch provided by Jeanette Mayer, JoAnn Keck and Joyce Harris, on Thursday, March 13. It consisted of tortilla soup and fixins, salads, and desserts. Since it is mid-March, one would think that winter is over and soup would not be the choice of the day, but the soup felt just right because we had been having so much cooler weather and windy days. Although the winds from Wednesday had slowed, one would lose their Easter bonnet if it was not tied on. I went back to my article from 2013 and we were preparing for Easter at this time last year. Easter is really running late this year, not until April 20. Along with the March winds we have had some rain and continue to pray for more. Our members were joined by Joe Mack Roberts, grandson of Nell McClinton, and new members, Mary Rummage and Melissa Westbo. While we wish former member Chris Williams best wishes in her new home in New Braunfels, we are pleased that Mary, who purchased Chris home

meeting. In addition, several members will celebrate additional Day Out activities by visiting a Cooking Lunch Class in LaGrange and a delicious fish lunch at Clear Springs, between New Braunfels and Seguin. After the meeting was adjourned members Mary Kelly and Sandy Parr gave a demonstration on how to use the crochet method of chaining, using only your hands, to make a warm scarf. Each member was provided a skein of the special yarn to make their scarf. A video which Mary had watched said one could make the scarf in less than 3 minutes. While it took some of us more than 8 minutes and several attempts, we all enjoyed the fun and laughter of making something together as a group. I imagine many more scarves will be made for Christmas presents. Thank you Gonzales County and the surrounding area for helping our Club raise funds to give scholarships to Gonzales County Seniors. Thanks to signs put out my member Carol Campsey we had new diners and bidders. Watch for our next event, the Ice Cream Social usually held in late July or early August. And then we have our Thanksgiving Dinner in November to thank our community. Donations are accepted at all events towards our scholarships.
