Today in Texas History
On this day in 1842, Juan N. Segun resigned as mayor of San Antonio. Segun, a native San Antonian, was born in 1806; his father Erasmo was a prominent public figure who later served as alcalde. Juan fought in the Texas Revolution, escaping death at the Alamo when he was sent out as a courier shortly before the fall of the citadel. Segun was elected to the Republic of Texas Senate in 1837--the only Mexican Texan to serve in that body--but resigned in 1840 and was then elected mayor of San Antonio. His tenure in that office was controversial; his continuing conflicts with Anglo squatters on city property and his business correspondence with Mexico incriminated him in Gen. Rafael Vsquezs invasion of San Antonio in March 1842. Fearing for his life, Segun resigned and fled with his family to Mexico. He participated in Adrin Wolls invasion of Texas in September 1842 and fought against the United States in the Mexican War, but returned to Texas after the war. He died in Nuevo Laredo in 1890. The town of Seguin was named in his honor in 1839. Cannon News Services

TxDOT promotes work-zone safety

AUSTIN As traffic increases along Texas roadways because of our booming population, fatal crashes are on the rise. In an effort to curb the trend, the Texas Department of Transportation today was joined by state leaders, the city of Austin and members of the transportation industry to ask the public to Be Safe. Drive Smart. In recognition of National Work Zone Awareness Week, April 15-19, TxDOTs Be Safe. Drive Smart. campaign reminds drivers to slow down, stay alert and observe traffic signs when approaching work zones. Crashes and fatalities in work zones are preventable, TxDOT Deputy Executive Director John Barton said. We can build safe highways and increase law enforcement efforts, but ultimately work zone safety is in the hands of all of us who drive. For safetys sake, we ask that drivers put down their cell phones, slow down, plan for alternate routes and be patient. At any one time there can be as many as 1,000 active work zones in Texas, Barton said. TxDOT currently has 20 active work zones along I-35 encompassing 109.6 miles from north to south Texas. This is the most work zones the agency has ever had on the states main corridor as it tackles one of the largest construction programs in department history. In 2012, there were 16,687 crashes in roadway construction and maintenance zones in Texas, resulting in 134 fatalities. Any time your job site is just a few feet away from fast-moving traffic, danger is never far away, said Rep. Armando Mando Martinez, vice chairman of the House Transportation Committee. When you see construction signs and orange barrels, take your foot off the gas, put the phone down and keep your eyes on the road. Work zone crashes have become such a concern, the Associated General Contractors of America recently conducted a survey, which found a staggering 45 percent of Texas highway contractors had motor vehicles crash into their construction work zones during the past year. Those work zone crashes injured drivers and passengers 62 percent of the time, and construction workers 19 percent of the time. This issue is not exclusive to urban areas. In fact, 46 percent of fatal work zone crashes occurred in rural areas last year.

Hotel raid results in arrests

LA GRANGE Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek reports that on April 12, the Fayette County Narcotics Unit executed a Search Warrant at the Executive Inn of La Grange following an investigation involving methamphetamine sales. Arrested and charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance were 31 year old Amanda Roush of Kansas City, MO and 26 year old Caleb Smith of Huttig, AR. Bond has been set at $10,000 for each subject. On April 15, the Fayette County Narcotics Unit received information involving drug activity. During the investigation, the Narcotics Unit was informed that Kewation Johnson was in possession of illegal narcotics and a firearm. The Narcotics Unit performed a traffic stop on Johnsons vehicle on Hwy 71 near Bordovsky Rd. with assistance from La Grange Police Officer Brian Adams. A search of the vehicle revealed Marijuana, Drug Paraphernalia, and several unidentified prescription pills. Kewation Johnson, 39, of Smithville was arrested and charged with Possession of Marijuana and Possession of a Controlled Substance. Bond has been set at $4500.
Texans love our wideopen spaces, Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said. Unfortunately, there is a higher percentage of fatal crashes on our states rural roads compared to urban areas. Wherever you live, its vital we all take precautions in work zones. Prioritizing safety above arriving a few minutes early could spare your life and the life of another hard-working Texan. During National Work Zone Awareness Week, TxDOTs permanent dynamic message signs along state highways and roadways will remind drivers to use caution, be safe and drive smart in work zones. The messaging comes at a critical time as Texas welcomes more than 1,000 newcomers per day, many of whom are not familiar with the states traffic laws.

To get that spirit, he said, Texas needs to regain control of its educational system. Back when we had local control of education, we had vocational education, he said. Theres an elitist mind-set in Austin that everybody is going to go to college, that everybody has to go to college. The reality is that kids learn differently.

average age of a welder is 55? Those people make good money. Pauken echoed other speakers at the event in condemning the CSCOPE curriculum management system as full of propaganda. It referred to Republicans effectively as totalitarians, he observed. He saluted the current Legislatures moves to eliminate some state mandates on testing. Theres too much teaching to the test, and this is not real learning, he said. Pauken said the education reform movement in Texas has been headed the wrong direction for years, starting with the system first implemented under former Govs. Ann Richards and George W. Bush. Texas was the model for the nationalization of education, he said, adding the states school-funding system has turned into a Byzantine formula. I led the fight against Robin Hood. We defeated it by 2-1 and Ann Richards got it put in anyway. Now they go around teaching school districts how to game the system. Weve got to have a better system, he said.
We need to replace it with a fair and equitable system. Pauken noted Democratic efforts to Turn Texas Blue, and said the way to stop it is for conservatives to stop allowing liberals to dictate the
issues. Im tired of us reacting. Im tired of us being on the defensive, he said. We need to put the Left on the defensive ... if men were angels we would have the socialist utopia. But theyre not.

granted by taxing units, firms that ship inventory out of Texas, and businesses that acquire pollution control property may also be eligible for statutory exemptions. The deadline for applying is April 30th. Rendering Taxable Property - If a business owns tangible personal property that is used to produce income, the business must file a rendition with its local county appraisal district by a specified date. Personal property includes inventory and equipment used by a business. Owners do not have to render exempt property such as church property or an agriculture producers equipment used for farming. The deadline for rendering is April 15th. A penalty may be imposed for a late filed rendition. A written request must be filed with the chief appraiser on or before April 15 to request an extension. Appraisal Notices If a taxpayers property value increased in the last year, the Texas taxpayer will receive a notice of appraised value from the appropriate local county appraisal district. The city, county, school districts and other local taxing units will use the appraisal districts value to set property taxes for the coming year.
Property Taxpayer Remedies This Comptroller publication explains in detail how to protest a property appraisal, what issues the county appraisal review board (ARB) can consider and what to expect during a protest hearing. The publication also discusses the option of taking a taxpayers case to district court or entering into binding arbitration if the taxpayer is dissatisfied with the outcome of the ARB hearing. Homestead Exemptions A homestead is generally defined as the home and land used as the owners principal residence on Jan. 1 of the tax year. A homestead exemption reduces the appraised value of the home and, as a result, lowers property taxes. Applications are submitted to the appropriate local county appraisal district. Productivity Appraisal Property owners who use land for timberland production, agricultural purposes, and wildlife management can be granted property tax relief on their land. They may apply to their local county appraisal district for an agricultural appraisal which may result in a lower appraisal of the land based on how much the taxpayer produces, versus what the land would sell for in the open market.
Property owners must apply before May 1st. A penalty for a late-filed application may be imposed. Residence Homestead Tax Deferral - Texas homeowners may postpone paying the currently delinquent property taxes due on the appreciating value of their homes by filing a tax deferral affidavit at their local county appraisal district. This tax relief allows homeowners to pay the property taxes on 105 percent of the preceding years appraised value of their homestead, plus the taxes on any new improvements to the homestead. The remaining taxes are postponed, but not cancelled, with interest accruing at 8 percent per year. Property Tax Deferral for Persons Age 65 or Older and Disabled Homeowners Texans who are 65 years of age or older, or who are disabled as defined by law, may postpone paying current and delinquent property taxes on their homes by signing a tax deferral affidavit. Once the affidavit is on file, taxes are deferred, but not cancelled, as long as the owner continues to own and live in the home. Interest continues to accrue on unpaid taxes. You may obtain a deferral affidavit at the appraisal district. Notice of Availability of Electronic Communica-

In some circles, it might be considered amusing to enlist an editor whos known for not being an enthusiastic environmentalist to be part of the team planning the citys annual major cleanup effort and even more amusing to ask him to judge essays of schoolkids seeking to increase public awareness on the subject. On the other hand, perhaps its more appropriate than you think. I am not a tree-hugger. Mancaused global warming is a madeup myth designed to enrich Al Gore and his buddies. The Earth isnt going to run out of oil in our lifetimes. There is no danger of a hole opening in the ozone that will incinerate the planet. Yet theres no reason we cant make the effort to do some simple things to make our home, our town, our country and our nation a better place to live. In reading the essays of the Gonzales Junior High youngsters entered in our Jim Price Clean Sweep contest, I tried to put myself back into the seventh or eighth grade and recall how
Contest entries tell us a lot about todays kids

much I knew about the world at the time. Granted, our available sources of information are vastly different. My version of the Internet was the card catalog at the library. Kids today wake up connected, and can find more in five minutes that I couldve found in five hours of patient research. Todays kids can hunt up the most current news with a few finger movements. I had to work to get my news at that age: my primary source of news was the three daily Houston newspapers we subscribed to all three, and I had paper routes for one of them in the morning and another one in the afternoon.
(Of course, the drawback of getting most of your news online these days is that you have to carefully scrutinize those news sources. Anybody with a website can call himself a reporter these days and the predominance of television can skew any subject matter MSNBCs Chris Mathews is a prime example of political personalities masquerading as reporters.) Still, in looking through the essay entries, I was impressed. The kids are doing all right. The topic of the essay contest was If I Dont Throw It Down, I Dont Have to Clean It Up, the notion being to write a persuasive piece directed at a local audience encouraging them to stop litter before it starts. The winners are printed in todays paper on Page A5, and weve also recognized a number of honorable mention entries in our story on the cleanup which begins on the front page. By and large, todays kids are a lot more environmentallyconscious than I was at that age.
Thats not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of them understand the relationship between actions and consequences, and thats very positive. I was a little surprised in that not a single essay went off on some political tangent about saving the rain forest, which is a good thing. Nothing wrong with arguing against the clear-cutting of trees in Brazil, but that particular subject seems to be prevalent when the global-warming myth is being promoted. Its good to see the local students didnt get sucked in by the propaganda. On the other hand, someones bound to have mentioned a story about the blind sea turtle off the California coast said to have died after mistaking a plastic bag for a jellyfish, because that one cropped up a lot. Our contest winners focused their message on their community and the impact of taking personal responsibility to ensure that their immediate environment is a clean one. Their messages cite specific local issues and give spe-
cific local solutions, and issue a challenge to their fellow citizens to stand up and do something. While entries were not judged on sentence structure and spelling (not that weve ever made such errors in the paper, nosiree), Im also very happy to report that every single essay was very clearly understandable. Kudos to GISD and the kids for knuckling down on the nuts and bolts of communicating by composition. The butchered sentences and misspellings I remember seeing from my classmates at that age were virtually absent. I suspect someone used Spell Check on some of the typed entries, however. I know that because occasionally Spell Check grabs one of those words that is spelled several different ways and gives you the one youre not looking for. Mind you, I agree with the writer. One thing we do not need in Gonzales is to have our livestock grazing around polluted pastors.
When San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro took office in 2009, he claimed that among his priorities for his administration was tightening the citys ethics rules. The Mayor said at the time, You cant legislate morality but you can create a culture of accountability. While Mayor Castro speaks about having a transparent City Hall administration, we should look at some facts. Lets remember his behavior at the Fiesta River Parade in 2005. On that occasion, the future mayor pulled a switcheroo with his twin brother, then Texas State Representative and now U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro. The future Mayor Castro admitted to having his twin stand in for him a parade floatbut only after the story broke. He told the Associated Press he had a conflicting event and didnt intend to deceive anyone when his twin boarded the City Council float in the parade. He apparently felt it was a minor deception, and even claimed it was funny. Lying can be so cute to liberals. Four years later, Castro proclaimed he would strive to have an administration that would transparent and ethical. But in September, 2012 Deputy City Manager Pat DiGiovanni and construction leader David Zachry were accused of having conflicts of interest for their parts in a $305 million construction contract let by the city. This project was related to the Mayors biggest priority, downtown development. On January 15, 2013, Digiovanni received a letter of admonition from the citys Ethics Review Board for unknowingly violating San Antonios code of ethics. The ERB also cleared Zachry of any wrongdoing. One day after the ERBs decision, Mayor Castro called for the creation of a City Hall ethics auditor to ensure future high-profile contracts in San Antonio are shielded from potential conflicts of interest. One day later...something like closing the barn door after the cows got out. Why didnt he create this auditor when he became Mayor? Another ethical question arose, recently,
Transparency? Castro has an issue with ethics

George Rodriguez is a San Antonio resident. He is the former President of the San Antonio Tea Party, and is now Executive Director of the South Texas Political Alliance.
when the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) notified Castro and eight members of the San Antonio City Council that they were being investigated for multiple campaign finance violations. The press release by the Texas Ethics Advisory Board, a private group based in Huntsville, said Mayor Julian Castro, Council members Cris Medina and Diego Bernal had the most alleged violations at over 200 each. The questions regarding the Mayors transparent administration have continued to mount in other ways. On March 28, a private citizens group that opposes the San Antonio street cars project, received a letter from the Mayors City Attorney office in response to their letter asking for the projects cost. The Citys letter indicated they are asking the state Attorney General for permission to withhold some of the requested records from public disclosure. What happened to the Mayors transparency at city hall? City Attorney Michael Bernard is supposed to be drafting revisions to city policy which will be presented for a vote to the full council. However, unless there is an independent auditor or ethics office that is shielded from political influence and intervention, these revisions will be simple window-dressing. Mayor Castro promised a transparent and ethical city administration, and the citizens should hold him to it.
Your kids arent yours: the state as the uber-parent

The TV cable-news network MSNBC runs sermonettes from its anchors during commercial breaks. They are like public-service announcements illuminating the progressive mind, and perhaps none has ever been as revealing and remarkable as the one cut by weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry. Harris-Perry set out to explain what is, by her lights, the failure to invest adequately in public education. She located the source of the problem in the insidious idea of parental responsibility for children. Weve always had kind of a private notion of children, she said, in the tone of an anthropologist explaining a strange practice she discovered when out doing far-flung fieldwork. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. So long as this retrograde conception prevails, according to Harris-Perry, we will never spend enough money on children. We have to break through, she urged, our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families. Her statement wasnt an aside on live television. She didnt misspeak. The spot was shot, produced and aired without, apparently, raising any alarm bells. No one with influence raised his or her hand and said, Should we really broadcast something that sounds so outlandish? The foundation of the Harris-Perry view is that society is a large-scale kibbutz. The title of Hillary Clintons bestseller in the 1990s expressed the same point in comforting folk wisdom: It Takes a Village. As the ultimate private institution, the family is a stubborn obstacle to the great collective effort. Insofar as people invest in their own families, they are holding out on the state and unacceptably privileging their own kids over the children of others. These parents are selfish, small-minded and backward.

2013
Once its everybodys responsibility, Harris-Perry said of child-rearing, and not just the households, then we start making better investments. This impulse toward the state as uber-parent is based on a profound fallacy and a profound truth. The fallacy is that anyone can care about someone elses children as much as his own. The former Texas Republican Sen. Phil Gramm liked to illustrate the hollowness of professions to the contrary with a story. He told a woman, My educational policies are based on the fact that I care more about my children than you do. She said, No, you dont. Gramm replied, OK: What are their names? The truth is that parents are one of societys most incorrigible sources of inequality. If you have two of them who stay married and are invested in your upbringing, you have hit lifes lottery. You will reap untold benefits denied to children who arent so lucky. That the family is so essential to the well-being of children has to be a constant source of frustration to the egalitarian statist, a reminder of the limits of his power. If the left wants to equalize the investments in children that matter most, it should promote intact families and engaged parents, even if it means embracing shockingly old-fashioned private child-rearing.

Each of the winners published here will receive a free Schlitterbahn ticket and can stop by The Cannon office at 618 St. Paul to claim them!
By Emily Cook The city of Gonzales is very important to those of us who have lived here our entire life. We try the hardest that we can to keep it clean, but its not always very easy. At school, when we eat in the cafeteria we can very much see all the food spilled on the ground from people who ate there before us. Most of us are generous enough to pick it up, but some arent as generous, meaning the kids who put the food on the ground in the first place or the kids who just dont care that the food is on the ground. I have been to the park recently since my little cousin plays little league baseball and sometimes its very embarrassing seeing that people dont seem to mind that they litter everywhere and make Gonzales look trashy. But its something we can fix if people are willing to put forth the effort and pick up trash that they see every now and then. We could even make a day where Gonzales goes around cleaning up the town. Our town could be much cleaner and better if we tried to make it that way. By Amanda Dixson Everyone who lives here in Gonzales is responsible for keeping the beautiful town clean. The trash that is on the side of the road, in our lawns, parks, and even our homes should all be recycled or thrown away properly. We have the privilege of having many recycling centers and we should take advantage of that. Other towns live in their filth and trash because they have nowhere to place it. In Gonzales we have the opportunity to have a cleaer city than the others. Doesnt that make you feel special? Sometimes we say to others or to your selves that its not my trash Im not going to pick it up. Well think to yourself about this, if you have ever thrown trash on the ground and didnt pick it up then someone else must have took their time to handle a responsibility that you should have taken care of in the first place. Doesnt that make you feel guilty or embarrassed? Its best to be a great Gonzales citizen and help join me in doing your part in keeping our town clean and an attractive place where people can have a healthy environment. By Alma Castaneda If I dont throw it down, I dont have to pick it up ... that is not the Texas thing to do! What if everybody did not feel that they had to throw away their trash? What if everybody did not care how that is a reflection of how other people from different states see Texas? If everybody thought this way and did these things our towns would suffer, if our towns are not clean and neat tourist would not come to our state. Without tourist coming to spend money in our town they would die. We as Texans take a certain it is our duty to help keep our state looking beautiful. Every two years Texans donate their time to help clean the sides of the roads. Different people whithin the community and organizations like churches, boy scout troops, and VFW lodges adopt a two-mile stretch of highway to clean and help keep clean. People do this not only to show their patriotism, but becuase Texas is such a large state. I am very proud to say that I am a Texan, and to live in such an amazing state that shows so much compassion.
In addition to the winning essays published above, wed also like to recognize the following students as Honorable Mention for their essays: Skylar Zella, Matthew Grauke, Kirstin Tyler, Wade Miller, Vanessa Vela, Katia Sanchez, Khelsea Cray, Carla Torres, Caytlyn Molina, Regan Gray, Joseph Gonzalez, Skylea Tatsch, Deryn Kistler, Lizandro Reyes, Abby Morgan.

COLLEGE STATIONLavaca, Gonzales and DeWitt County agricultural producers are eligible for low-interest emergency loans as a result of a drought disaster declaration by the US Department of Agriculture. USDA Texas Farm Service Agency (FSA) Acting Executive Director James B. Douglass announced that six counties in Texas were declared a disaster on April 10 due to drought using the new, streamlined Secretarial Disaster Designation process. Under this designation, producers in any of the primary or contiguous disaster counties are eligible to apply for low interest emergency loans.
Declaration makes loans available to area ag producers

The streamlined disaster designation process issues a drought disaster declaration when a county has experienced a drought intensity value of at least a D2 (severe drought) level for eight consecutive weeks based on the U.S. Drought Monitor during the crop year. Under this declaration six counties in Texas have reached that threshold since April 2. The following six counties were designated as primary disaster counties: Brazoria, Fort Bend, Irion, Lavaca, Matagorda, Reagan. The following 19 counties were designated as contiguous disaster counties: Austin, Calhoun, Colorado, Crockett, De Witt, Fayette, Galveston, Glasscock, Gonzales, Harris, Jackson, Midland, Schleicher, Sterling, Tom Green, Upton, Victoria, Waller, Wharton. The disaster designation is welcome relief to producers because it allows all qualified operators in primary and contiguous counties to apply for a low interest emergency (EM) loan, said Douglass. Emergency loans help producers recover from production and physical losses due to drought, flooding and other natural disas-

The Gonzales County Old Jail is getting a new look, starting with a top to bottom cleaning. The museum display cases are being refurbished, collections photographed and stored, and the Gonzales Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center area expanded. Sandra Wolff, Chairperson of the Old Jail Committee, Gonzales County Historical Commission, says that once cleaning is complete, displays for the cases will be returned to the Jail. The Gonzales County Historical Commissions immediate goals for the Old Jail are to position it as a centerpiece of Gonzales Historic downtown and to tell the stories of the building and the people who occupied it through new exhibits. The ultimate goal for the building itself is to protect and restore the Gonzales County Jail to its original design, and as a significant example of Italianate architecture in Texas. Pictured here are the Intermediate Sanction Facility workers, who are doing a great job cleaning up the Old Jail Museum!
Farmers in Gonzales County reached out to local customers to talk with them about how their food is grown during Texas Food Connection Week, Feb. 17-23. Farmers and ranchers across the state organized community activities, donate to local philanthropies and seek to spur conversations with their customers during the week-long program. Texas Food Connection Week is about finding common ground with our customers, said Charles Rochester, Gonzales County Farm Bureau president. Our neighbors and friends have questions about agriculture and their food. This is an opportunity for farmers and ranchers to sit down with them and have a conversation. Gonzales County farmers will be donating to GCAM and Gods Storehouse during Texas Food Connection Week. Were looking forward to getting out in the community and sharing what we do on our farms and ranches, Rochester said.

Rig count holds at 240

The Eagle Ford Shale drilling rig count held flat at 240 running this past week. The region has averaged 240 rigs running for the past seven weeks. This week, we highlighted Kinder Morgans plans to expand condensate processing further at its Galena Park Terminal along the Houston Ship Channel. A supply agreement with BP will support development of the facility and expand ultimate processing capacity to 100,000 b/d. The second facility and additional storage will come with a price tag of $170 million. The natural gas rig count fell four to 16 running this past week. Thats down from a peak of 124 in October of 2011. Natural gas prices Eagle Ford Rig Count by Operator Prior Week This Week BHP (Petrohawk) 30 27 EOG Resources 23 25 Marathon Oil 18 17 Chesapeake 16 16 ConocoPhillips 10 10 Pioneer Natural 10 10 Anadarko 9 9 Lewis Petroleum 7 8 Murphy Oil 7 8 Plains Exploration 7 7 Talisman Energy (Statoil) 7 7 EP Energy 5 6 Hunt Oil 6 6 Swift Energy 6 6 Halcon Resources 6 5 Rosetta Resources 5 5 SM Energy 5 5 Cabot Oil & Gas 4 4 Shell 4 4 Carrizo Oil & Gas 3 3 All Others 52 52 Total 240 240
continued to show strength and traded up to $4.24/mmbtu on Friday. While the natural gas rig count and price are headed in two different directions, that wont be the case very long. I suspect well see more rigs enter the region targeting the Eagle Ford in areas that produce more natural gas during the summer. A total of 223 oil rigs are running in the region or four more than last week. WTI crude oil price lost further ground as it traded near $91/bbl Friday afternoon. Eagle Ford light crude traded at $90/bbl on April 11th. There are 215 horizontal rigs running in the region. An injection well is being drilled in Webb County. La Salle and Karnes counties lead development with 34 and 31 rigs running, respectively.

WISD business manager Susan Richardson reported to the board that the district received three depository proposals, one being from their current depository, Lone Star Bank of Moulton.

Guisinger told the council that while the shelter has developed into an excellent facility that has saved the lives of hundreds of dogs, finding a steady funding source remains a challenge. In LAWSs firts three years our goal was to develop more humane care for them and to find them homes, Guisinger said. Prior to LAWS almost all the animals were euthanized. Now we save the lives of nearly all adoptable dogs. Guisinger explained the shelter spays and neuters all animals taken in through an arrangement with the Chisholm Trail Veterinary Clinic.

Scouts take part in Challenge

Mother Nature provided fantastic weather for Live Oak District 5th annual District Challenge, held April 5-7 at Green Dixon campsite. The competition had 15 patrols competing from Lockhart, Luling, Gonzales, Shiner, Yoakum, Moulton, Hallettsville, Yorktown and Cuero in scouting skills. This years challenge had the boys doing Geocaching to find 20 points spread out over 300 acres. The scouts had to navigate to points and then find hidden caches with words on them and record them. The caches were buried, or hidden in various ways throughout the course. Troop 262 came home with the trophy, and for the second year in a row Dillon Catchings led his patrol, the Corp of Conquerors, to victory with a perfect 195 points and was the first to navigate the entire course and turn in their score sheet. Brent Poteet led his patrol to a nearly perfect score of 185 after quickly navigating the course, taking second place over all in the competition. While Troop 262 didnt win any of the cooking awards in this years Silver Turtle cook-off, they had some very tasty hobo meals prepared to eat after SaturEast Avenue Primary 1st Grade Music class would like to thank the Gonzales ISD days competition.

GHS Class of 1947 celebrates 66th anniversary

was announced one class member, Clifton Schraeder, is newly married to long time friend Sharon. High School for us in this Class of 1947 was fraught with events of World War II which was over in summer of 1945. For many members who had siblings in the military services, it was a daze of worries and prayers for their safety and sadly, losses and/or injuries of loved ones. Learning was much simpler in those years before technology dominated the lives of young people; we studied the classics in literature and music and much simpler mathematics. Even geography was simpler! Our time together Saturday was precious and so enjoyed by all! We are 21 living classmates and of the 13 who attended, 7 came from Victoria, Cypress, Canyon Lake, Rockport, New Braunfels, Burleson and Luling. We set the 2014 Reunion for April 12th, also at Belmont Social Club. In case you absentees will read this report, know that we missed you and hope you will consider attending in 2014.

Shady Oak observes 45th year in Moulton area

MOULTON On March 14, Shady Oak Nursing and Rehabilitation center celebrated 45 years of operation. Residents, staff, family and friends of the community gathered at the facility to commemorate the anniversary. The evening began with Grace Neibrandt, Administrator, welcoming everyone and thanking them for their involvement in the center. She commended all the employees dedication to the facility and acknowledged the accomplishment of being a continuously operating facility since March 13, 1968. The center employs over 60 employees and many have been there Shady Oak administrator Grace Neibrandt (left) is shown with longtime employfor a least a decade; a couple ees Rose Selzer (center) and Annette Fojtik during the facilitys 45th Anniversary from the month the facilceremony. (Courtesy photo) ity opened! At the heart of the celebration, Neibrandt recognized these two longtime employees Annette Fojtik and Rose Selzer for their achievements. Fojtik began her career at Shady Oak the night the facility opened with the plans to work until we found a replacement. Forty five years later, Annette is still employed here. Selzer shortly followed joining the team with the plans to help out of a few days because they were short of nurses. Although reluctant in accepting the position, she came aboard. She said At this time there were only seven residents here but it was those seven residents that forever changed my life.
By seeing how the residents appreciated the care and thinking that one day I and all of us will one day need that care, changed my overall perspective; as well as, what I would be doing for the rest of my working life. I have been here ever since and never looked back. She concluded with thanking her family, friends, community and the facility for instilling the character of having commitment, dedication and loyalty, self confident and above all the unconditional willingness to help others. Regardless of the day I have here, good or bad, I always go home with the comfort in knowing that we made a difference.

Ada Pearl White, 1908-2013 Ada Pearl White, 104, passed away Monday, April 15, 2013. She was born October 3, 1908 in Gonzales County to Henry and Louisa Thornton Keck. Ada married William E. White on March 23, 1929 in Gonzales. Ada had been a long time member of the First Baptist Church, the XYZ Club and had been active with her Sunday School Class at the First Baptist Church. As a young girl Ada might have very well be found picking cotton, hauling hay, milking cows, pulling corn , puttingup and shelling corn. Ada was a hard worker, she never complained, she enjoyed being productive. If there was an opportunity to work, Ada just naturally asserted her many talents to completing the task. Ada had worked in the office at the local auction barn and worked as a seamstress in her home mending and making alterations to clothing. She was a meticulous gardener, her lawn and flower gardens were kept preened and lush. She was well into her 90s before she relinquished the mowing of her lawn to her son-in-law, merely because previous attempts to hire it done didnt pass her job quality inspection. She started the flower garden at her church and took great pride in the aesthetics the flowers added to the grounds. Ada also kept the nursery at her church for
WHITE
a number of years, a challenge she was well suited to serve. Adas natural ability to nurture tender young lives and watch them blossom in the presence of the Son is a play on words relevant to her gardening skills, but it is also a testament to her faith, patience and love of people. In her 104 years of age, Ada was never in awe of the great inventions that had come to pass, nor did she bemoan the worlds many tragedies she endured through the ages. Ada was a brave and selfless woman; she, in her late 90s, broke her ankle late one evening, but didnt notify the nursing staff or her family until the next morning just because she didnt want to put anybody out or cause a fuss so late in the day. Her favorite memories were the enduring memories of simpler times, finishing her chores as a young girl and sharing a red soda and ice cream float with a friend at a local store in Cost. Herein Ada leaves us with a profound message, with all of todays luxuries and magnificent sights and sounds, none compares to the beauty of a simple flower blossom or that special moment with a good friend, sharing a red soda and ice cream float. Ada Pearl White is survived by her loving daughter and son-in-law, Billie J. and Harold Bruns of Gonzales, grandson, Tommy Bruns and his wife Theresa, and great-grandchildren, Chris and Cody Bruns. She was preceded in death by her parents and 7 siblings. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, April 18, 2013 in SeydlerHill Funeral Home with Pastor Andy Smith officiating and Rev. Steve Faulkner assisting. Interment will follow in Gonzales Memorial Park. Pallbearers: Pal Lester, Tommy Lester, Chris Bruns, Cody Bruns, L. H. Bruns, Lynn Cochran, Buddy Lester and Joe Britt Hindman. Memorials may be made to the First Baptist
Church, the First United Methodist Church or the charity of ones choice. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday evening. Services are under the care and direction of Seydler-Hill Funeral Home.

Making it legal to be stupid is foolish

This is an edited transcription of an interview with Bracewell and Giuliani patent attorney and political analyst Jay Yates heard on the News from the Camphouse on KULM 98.3. Brune: Jay has been my friend since we ran against each other in a GOP state rep primary. Hes also been state rep Joe Crabbs chief of staff and Senator Dan Patricks legal counsel. Our topic is legalizing marijuana. And one thing that we must disclose before our discussion is that neither of us ever smoked pot. Jay you lived in California when there was a vote on medicinal marijuana. What did you see? Yates: I was a resident of California for four years including 1996 when the medical marijuana initiative was passed. California is one of those crazy western states where if you can get enough signatures on a petition, you can bring an initiative and have a state vote. I believe it was the first state to pass medicinal marijuana in this fashion. Brune: Please explain initiatives. Yates: Texas has initiatives in some cities but not at a state level. Initiatives are set up so that if you get enough signatures on a petition in a certain amount of time people may vote on an idea becoming law. The equivalent in Texas is if the legislature passes something as a constitutional amendment then the voters get to cast their ballots yes or no. In California and most western states it doesnt take the legislature to pass a bill to let people vote. Brune: And if you live in a society where less than 20 percent of the people vote its possible to get some pretty squirrelly laws passed with initiatives. Yates: Thats why states like Washington, Colorado, and California can get pro-pot laws passed. The politicians may not stand up and say theyre pro-pot, but the people can pass the laws themselves. California legalized medicinal marijuana and has pot dispensaries. Brune: Are these places like a hash shop? Yates: No they tend to be nondescript strip center buildings. They look more like a dentist office. Brune: Do users need a prescription? Yates: Yes, but I believe some of these dispensaries have doctors on call if you have a problem. Its not hard to get a prescription. Thats why a lot of your famous actors have prescriptions. Brune: Are there restrictions concerning dispensary locations? Yates: There are big fights over zoning. Sometimes these issues reflect competition between sellers, and sometimes these zoning battles reflect racial issues. There have been black politicians that felt there were a disproportionate amount of dispensaries in black neighborhoods. Brune: If pot is legal, how can a politician keep it out of certain neighborhoods? Yates: Pot has never been made legal federally. The pro-pot people were initially upset with President Obama for admitting and writing about smoking pot, but then raiding dispensaries or the people supplying dispensaries. Now, there has seemed to be an amount of slacking off. There is unease with running a dispensary because you never

know when the feds will let you slide or when theyll haul you to jail. At one time states rated possession of a small amount of marijuana as a felony. Then Texas, through the legislature, turned it into a misdemeanor. The compelling point to the legislature was that in order to get a jury in Lubbock, Texas, to answer that they would send someone to prison for a small amount of pot 200 people had to be questioned to get 12 jurors. The district attorneys were adamant about lowering penalties because they were having a hard time getting convictions. Brune: Heres my problem. The violence is off the charts. To me, it is horrendous that people in America dont care about more than 50,000 dead Mexicans that have died at the hands of the cartels. Granted, many of those were in turf battles. But likewise, there certainly were innocent family members, acquaintances, women and children, and people that were in the wrong place at the wrong time. There were also legitimate law enforcement officers that were gunned down. To me, it is flagrant nose-thumbing and callousness when Americans dont care that the width of a river away their neighbors are being slaughtered and mutilated so that they can have their pot. It takes into play the notion that if there wasnt a demand there wouldnt be a market. And with all the beheadings and gruesome murders, for Americans to turn their backs on suffering neighbors so that they may have their recreational drugs thats a damning reflection of society. Yates: Thats pretty heavy. I think some celebrities would tell you to smoke a joint and relax. But yes, its very sobering when you think of where drugs come from. Heroin is coming from Afghanistan. Marijuana is coming through Mexico. And yes, its very sobering to see the cost on society and the cost on innocent people so that others may use recreational drugs. Brune: Yes, and weve read that Al Qaeda and the Taliban get much of their funding through drugs. And, for a population to have a lazy attitude is ridiculous. This is the degradation of society. Drug users are subsidizing our enemies that want to kill us. Have Americans gone mad? Yates: Forty-one million Americans have reported using illegal drugs in the past year. Theres only 30 million that are uninsured and thats how we got Obamacare. One of the debates in Congress is over gun control and one of the questions in the background checks concerns use of illegal substances. My bottom line is that, as a Dad I dont want my kids around pot, or a dispensary in my neighborhood. Brune: Whenever the media says we lost the war on drugs remember you cant win a war if youre not fighting to win.

Gonzales native follows Army career with launch of successful business
Columbus (Ga.) Ledger-Enquirer tadams@ledger-enquirer.com
COLUMBUS, Ga. For two decades, Pamela Watson served her nation as a soldier, working in the transportation field and working with senior leaders and their schedules. Having done a tour of duty at Fort Benning before her Army retirement in 2008, Watson and her family had purchased a home in Columbus. That eventually brought them back here to settle down. So after her military career, it seemed natural the native of Gonzales, Texas, would ultimately turn to a service job in the private sector for her livelihood. Watson, 44, had a vision. Why not help people take a break from their oft-frantic daily lives by doing errands and other chores? Thus, Five Star Concierge of Columbus was born several months ago. The Ledger-Enquirer talked with the wife and mother of two children recently to get a feel for Watsons job and why it works for her. The interview is edited for length and brevity. What is a concierge? I take on day-to-day errands. It can be anything from shopping to picking up dry cleaning or prescriptions, anything that gives people more time to spend with their families or whatever else they wish to do. It is huge in larger cities, such as Atlanta and New York, and down in Florida. My clients range from professionals to busy moms. What did you do in the Army? I managed a fleet of vehicles,
sending them out to various locations for soldiers to pick up supplies and deliver them. I also dealt with senior management, chauffeuring them around and taking care of their calendars, insuring that their day-to-day schedules and agendas were managed. I made sure they were where they were supposed to be, that they had on what they were supposed to have on, and that they had all of their documents. How did your military experience shape you for this? It has shaped me to serve. In all of those capacities, thats actually what I was doing. I was serving. You cant put it any other way. Its like youre always in that zone. Youre always in that capacity. I always tell people that Ive served my country, which is something that Im extremely proud of doing, and now Im serving my community. Being a concierge is simply an extension of your Army career? This concierge service is serving. Its a professional and pleasant word for errands or personal assistance. Im actually making an impact and Im making a difference. And thats what I did in the military. After leaving the service, I was looking for something with which I could have more flexible hours. So I went and did my research and, lo and behold, I found concierge services are everywhere. Its one of the fastest growing services out there. Whats your job like? Theres a lot of legwork and a lot of word of mouth (to get clients), and its a lot of networking.
Gonzales native Pamela Watson, concierge and owner of Five Star Concierge, talks with residents Wednesday morning at Covenant Woods senior living community in Columbus about the services her business provides. (Photo by Mike Haskey/mhaskey@ledger-enquirer.com) The most common thing that I do is grocery shopping. Lets face it, everyones busy. Theyre taking Mary Jane to ballet or softball or piano and dance, or taking John to soccer and football, you name it. Everyones busy. So if I can do your grocery shopping and pick up your prescriptions and your dry cleaning, then Ive taken a couple of hours off your plate. How much does something like this cost? I tell my clients that its more cost effective for them to purchase al a carte services. For instance, to do your supermarket shopping for two hours, thats going to cost $70. I pick up your grocery list, your funds, and Im going to Publix or Fresh Market or Walmart or driving out to the commissary at Fort Benning, and all of that takes time. I go down the aisle to look specifically for what youre requesting, so it takes a little more time. Al a carte is me running around everywhere. By the way, seniors and military get a 10 percent discount. Are there ever any unusual requests? Not really. Its pretty standard. One request I have had is: Can you take my daughter to get her hair done. Its a little different, but thats part of it. I just left Covenant Woods (retirement community). Some of the services I would do there is taking some of the residents to the doctor or taking them to the mall. There is a need, especially in the senior community. Unfortunately, sometimes their children or loved ones forget about them. Thats where a concierge comes in. Whats the toughest aspect of your job, juggling everything? Absolutely. After all, Im a graduate student. Im married and have two children. So its time management. Thats a big thing because I still have things I need to do while Im doing things for others. There has to be harmony. There has to be balance. Your slogan is Adding time to busy lives. That would seem to sum it up? Time is precious. I always tell people that instead of giving flowers or chocolates, buy someone some time. They would love two hours of someone doing their shopping for them. Like new mothers. Purchase them a gift card with some time. For instance, while raising a baby, they also have to find time to cook. One of the packages I have is delivering meals certain days of the week. And I will throw in a few hours of my errand services. For many mothers, thats huge. http://www.ledger-enquirer. com

Lee earns bid to UIL state golf tournament

Gonzales head coach J. Lynn Barnick said after the action on the first day, Fredericksburhg, Boerne and Corpus Christi West Oso were the top three teams, with Gonzales and El Campo tied for fourth place. I felt we could get eventually get past West Oso, he said. In the first nine holes on Day Two, we were able to catch West Oso and pass them. West Oso shot a 351 on Day Two while Gonzales managed to improve to 324, behind El Campo but still on their heels. In the end, we knew we would tie El Campo or lose to them by a stroke, Barnick said. Keaton Smith carded an 84 and 81 to total 165 for Gonzales. Grayson Meredith scored 86 and 83 for 169, Nathan Burek shot 90 and 84 for 174, and Garrett Remschel rounded out the GOLF, Page B2

CORPUS CHRISTI One would not normally think of golf as a sport that comes down-to the-wire, but the situation at the Region IV Golf Championships on Monday and Tuesday in Corpus Christi forced high school golf fans to think outside of the box. The Gonzales Apaches boys golf team was edged out of going to state by one stroke. They shot 333 on Day One and improved to 324 on Day Two for a total of 657. However, El Campo carded 333-323 for a total of 656 and the third place qualifying bid. Boerne won runner up with 645 and Fredericksburg was the regional champion with a score of 608. The tournament ended on a high note for the Apaches as senior Ryan Lee will cap his stellar high school golf career off with

a visit to the state meet on May 1-2 at Jimmie Clay Golf Course in Austin. Lee was one of the top three individuals to advance from a team not going to state. Lee carded a 75 on the first day and fell by a stroke to 76 on the second day, but finished with a 151. Sintons Tyler Kolb was the first medalist with a 144, followed by James Sandoval of Pleasanton who scored a 148.

Area-round qualifers for the Bulldogs are Blake McCracken (100, 400 relay, 800 relay), TreVontae Hights (400, high jump, long jump, triple jump,
1600 relay), Rueben Lopez (800, 1600), Karl Kaiser (110 hurdles, 300 hurdles), Travis DeBault (110 hurdles), Dantay Eldridge (110 hurdles, pole vault), Miguel Resendez (300 hurdles, 1600 relay), Myron Hights (triple jump, 400 relay, 800 relay), Heath Kristek (long jump, 400 relay, 800 relay, 1600 relay), Jacob Linn (1600 relay), Martin Rosales (high jump, 400 relay), Cole Knocke (pole vault), Hunter Smith (pole vault, 800 relay), Willie Hights

Lady Apaches close out season with victory over Lady Bulldogs
both games felt good, she said. This was a great way to end the season, Gonzales head coach Holli Miller said. We showed hard work pays off and I could not have asked for a better group of players especially my seniors. With a season sweep of Giddings and a split with Cuero, Yoakum had already nailed down a playoff spot going into the game at Gonzales. We came in here too relaxed, Lady Dogs head coach Scott Mann said. We were flat and not as aggressive as we usually are. Take nothing away from Gonzales. They hit the ball and made the plays. With two outs in the top of the first, Reagan Renken singled to right field and Callie Wittes double to the same general area brought Renken home for a 1-0 Yoakum lead. The Lady Dogs did not get another hit until the third inning and went three up and three down in the second. The Lady Apaches got some base runners in the second frame. Carly Boz-
GONZALES The Gonzales Lady Apaches softball underclassmen decided since Tuesday night against Yoakum would be the last time the seniors would ever wear the Gonzales softball jersey, they would step up and show their gratitude for the upperclassmens contributions and leadership by helping the seniors end their high school careers on a good note. Junior Cassidy La Fleur hit a grand slam in the bottom of the third to rally Gonzales from a 1-0 deficit and freshman Kristeney Magallanes added a leadoff, solo home run in the fifth inning to push Gonzales past Yoakum, 5-3. It felt great helping the seniors get a win, La Fleur said. I have grown as a player since my freshman year with these seniors. I am glad we helped them get a win in their last game. La Fleur got a home run earlier in the season also against Yoakum. Getting home runs against a district team in
ka got a walk and moved to second on the Yoakum error on Sibil Philippus ball. La Fleur was struck out and Tori Lester was walked, loading the bases. Yoakum got out of the jam with two straight strikeouts. They were not so lucky the in the bottom of the third. Yoakum got the fly ball to center by leadoff Morgan Simper. Shayla Simper was walked and Magallanes put the ball into center field, where it was mishandled by the defense, but somehow the relay was made to second for two outs. Next, Bozka and Philippus were walked to load the bases. La Fleur worked her way to a full count and put a high ball over left field that was able to go over the fence for the grand slam and a 4-1 Gonzales lead. In the top of the fourth, Gonzales replaced starting pitcher Tori Lester with Shayla Simper; Yoakum managed two base hits and a walk loaded the bases with two outs. But Shayla Simper rescued Gonzales with a strike out for three outs.

Late charge sends Cuero to victory over Yoakum

By MARK LUBE
YOAKUM The Cuero Gobblers did gain a score advantage over the Yoakum Bulldogs but not until a 2-0 lead in the third inning. They got a better grip on things in the fifth inning with six runs, culminating with an 11-1 run rule after six innings Friday night in Yoakum. Cuero head coach Phil Schwarz said the Yoakum defense made it challenging for Cuero to be in control. Yoakum is a good team, he said. (Bulldog starting pitcher Blake) McCracken kept us off balance early and their defense got out of some early jams. We were able to come through as we stuck to our
approach of hitting the ball up the middle and into the gaps and our players executed well. The win improved Cuero to 6-1 in district, which left them tied for first place with La Grange at the time. We need to play solid baseball (to get a shot at the district title), Schwarz said. It is easier to get hits when you play well on the mound and on defense. Yoakum head coach Bobby Nicholson said his team looked like it was not totally prepared to face the Gobblers. We did not come out to play tonight, he said. And I do not have a clue as to why. Big teams come out to play and we did not. The Gobblers managed a couple of base runners in the top of the first, with Austin Johnson drawing
a walk and Logan Goebel getting a single. Both were left stranded as Clint Davis had a sacrifice groundout to McCracken and Blake Reeve was struck out. Yoakum had a similar start as McCracken took a leadoff walk and Reagan Jacobs got a base hit. Johnson then fanned the next two batters and McCrackens runner, Terrence Hall, was caught stealing at third. Brayden Sievers started
the top of the second with a walk and went to third on the double by Justin Kremling. The next Gobbler batter struck out and Levi Jones popped up to the center fielder Keith Ratley, apparently scoring Sievers on the sacrifice. Yoakum asked for a review of the play and the umpires determined that Sievers started his trip home a tad early and he was called out, erasing the
run and getting Yoakum back into the dugout. Yoakum nearly was able to take advantage of the break when Timmy Blakeney was walked and eventually reached third as Cuero rallied for two outs. A ball by Troy Macha into right field was thrown back to home to put out Blakeney to end the inning. In the third, Johnson was walked followed by hits from Goebel and Davis.
Johnsons runner, Ross Riemenschneider, later scored and Reeve had a fly ball to right field that was cleanly caught by Will Thurmond and Goebel advanced home before the ball arrived to give Cuero a 2-0 lead. Cuero started gushing runners, hits and runs in the top of the fifth as Johnson was walked for the CUERO, Page B3

The saying to Live every day like it was like your last. was really brought home to everyone yesterday in Boston. When the vivid pictures of people with missing feet and other detached body parts came marching across the TV screen, it certainly got your attention. We were sitting in a doctors office with a lady whose friend from Carrizzo Springs had already finished the race before the bombs exploded. So many people that they interviewed had barely made it out of the way. Our prayers are with those and with our nation also. Okay, now everyone pay attention. The Belmont Community Center Club will meet for their regular meeting on the fourth Tuesday, April 23rd at Shari Lees home with Nancy Garnand helping with refreshments. We will discuss and finalize the date of the rummage sale. It is tentatively set for May 4th, but we do not know whether the center will ready by that date and/or we may move it to another location. So keep collecting your good rummage, things that will really sell at a rummage sale. We will also have plants. Along with this we will have a bake sale. So everyone, get in the baking mood. We really need to get this done before Mothers Day. Now this beautiful renovated community center is costing a bit more money than expected. As you know it is an old building, so there were more things that needed replacing than anticipated. However, many hours of volunteer work have gone into this project. Rutty Decou spent three days under the building helping Mike Bond getting the wiring redone. There were thirtyfive GBRA workers on the weekend of March 23rd who donated their time to paint, help with the handicapped ramp, put in the new kitchen. The meal was catered by the Belmont Social Club and desserts were provided by the ladies. Sha-
Our prayers go out to the victims in Boston

ron Bettis helped get GBRA onto this project. Jim and Ellen Wundt planted grass and landscaped the North side and are planning to fix the front side so that it will be handicapped accessible, replace the siding, paint, and make the front of the building beautiful. Mark Neumann is helping with the roof. Tom Dodgen just helped here and there. There are two bathrooms in progress, with two handicapped stalls in the ladies bathroom. Richard Walker has been doing the plumbing in the center. I just am on cloud nine because we have a new Mens and Ladies Restroom, and the old Ladies Restroom is a broom closet. It now has central air conditioning and part of that cost was donated. This building will now be able to serve our children and others in the community for years to come. It is something we can all be proud of and so many people have donated time and money. However, because of the fact that we are trying to fix it right and sturdy, we are running out of funds. So we are asking that those of you who care about this community and maybe in the past have had your roots here come to our rescue. Please help us with this renovation project by sending a donation to Connie Bond, P. O. Bo 906, Belmont, TX 78604, 830424-3568 or Shari Lee, P. O. Box 947, Belmont, TX 78604, 830-424-3803. It doesnt matter how small. It all adds up. It would greatly be appreciated. If you are coming through Belmont and see that the center is open, stop by and take a look. Or you can come to church on Sunday and I am sure that someone will give you a tour.
Also we have I think it is officially called the Leesville Homecoming the first weekend in May. Someone needs to call me and straighten me out because I can never remember whether it is on Saturday or Sunday. Then Mothers Day is right there in the middle of things. Also in Leesville they have Flag Day and Memorial Day, and sometimes they are combined, so has been a date set for this??? Someone call or email me. Your prayers and thoughts are needed for the following: Joe Kotwig, Mr. Bill, Jesse Esparza; Mariessa, Bill and Marie Lott, Louise Jones, Sandy Ingram, Aunt Georgie Gandre; Danny and Joyce Schellenberg, Sarge Duncan, Mildred ONeal, Rhonda Pruett, Matt McGrew.Terrence, Aunt Frances Gandre, Glenn Mikesh, Fletcher Johnson, Maria Castillo, Selma Vickers, Landis, Keith Glass, Timothy and Jack Black, Teresa Wilke, Linda Denker, Case Martin, Sandi Gandre, Aunt Betty Gandre, Bill Bassett, Carol and husband, Morgan, Justin, Vernon (Carol Siepmanns father)Marcie and Blaine Welker, The Bullards, Aunt Pauline Bridenbaugh, Shirley Dozier, Marie Schauer, Esther Lindemann, Anna Lindemann, Mary and Pete Camarillo, Cheryl and Bill Meadows, Jaime, Matt Pohler, Lanny Baker, Bob Young, Ann Bond, Marguerite Williams, the victims and the families of the Boston Marathon fiasco, our military and their families, more rain. I apologize for this rather abrupt way to end this news, but Miss Dililah had to be taken to the vet yesterday in the morning. Poor Dililah has a very bad urinary tract infection. She is really sick. I hope she gets a lot better soon. That little kitty does not do well at all being sick. She did not even protest much about being in the carrier. I know I did not catch it from her, but her master had to head the opposite direction in the afternoon so see her doctor for the same problem. I am not feeling up to par and I needed to tell you about all of the above situations. I guess both of us will survive, but we sure are feeling poorly at the moment. Have a good week, and God Bless.

The Study Course, Part IV of THE LEGA-
CY OF MUSICALS was reviewed by Shirley Spoon and derived from the book Geniuses of the American Musical Theater and reminded members of the first three parts which covered musical theater from Victorian times, through the whole 20th century and into present day productions. A large part of these decades were dominated by the English composer Andrew Lloyd-Webber from 1968 through 1997 with such famous productions a JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR, JEEVES, EVITA, CATS, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and SUNSET BOULEVARD. By 1997 Lloyd-Webbers shows had earned more than 4 billion dollars and had been seen by 100 million people. Though LloydWebber is English, his shows were all presented on Broadway and he is the recipient of 7 Tony Awards, 7 Olivier Awards, 1 Oscar and 3 Grammys. He was honored at the Kennedy Center and knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1992. We all fondly remember much of the stories and music he provided. Music enjoyed at the meeting included Summertime from George Gershwins PORGY AND BESS, sung by Ann Keck and accompanied at the piano by Shirley Spoon, My Favorite Things from Rodgers and Hammersteins SOUND OF MUSIC and Memory from Lloyd-Webbers show CATS sung by Carol DuBose with Vida Burnett at the piano. Pres. Spoon closed the meeting with all speaking the NFMC Collect and members enjoyed fellowship and refreshments. The hosts served cream cheese pinwheels in two flavors, a piquant egg salad and crackers, pickles, peppers and olives, herbed cracker bites, strawberry filled pound cake and cream, iced tea and coffee from a table laid with a navy faille cloth, centered with a mirrored arrangement of the Club flower, daisies and golden ribbons.

Spade & Trowel Garden Club News

On Tuesday, April 9, the Spade and Trowel Garden Club took their annual pilgrimage to La Grange to visit the Faison House and the Texas Quilt Museum. Twenty-three members and guests enjoyed the trip. The Faison House is a historic home owned by the La Grange Garden Club. The house and gardens date from the mid 1800s and was built in three sections. Members of the Faison family lived in the house for 90 years, and all the furniture, papers, clothes, and other objects were in the home in 1961 when it was purchased by the garden club. Hearing the history of this interesting family made the tour special. After a delicious lunch at the Bistro 109, the group walked around the courthouse square to the Texas Quilt Museum. The Museum was established a few years ago by the International Quilt Association, which sponsors the International Quilt Festival in Houston each fall. The Museum displays rotating shows of quilts. In April, the garden club saw a colorful exhibit of mostly antique quilts entitled, Spring Gardens. The outside garden next to the museum was also in full bloom. It was especially designed to complement the museum which is located in an old hardware store that has been beautifully restored. A mural of quilts adorns the side of the building facing the garden.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, take time to sort through some of the paperwork on your desk. You could find there is something important that you overlooked that needs to be addressed. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 There are a few things you cant seem to work out in your head, Taurus. A better idea may be to put everything on paper and perhaps the answer will jump out. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, there will be a few moments this week when you seem to have a breakthrough.
Maybe its in a relationship or you have just the right answers at work. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Surprising events are in store as you continue to change your views about lifealtering events, Cancer. You may find your master plan is entirely turned on its head. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your energy level is so revved up that others wont be able to keep up with you. You may have to slow down a little to let others catch up. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others find it difficult to change your opinion once you have your mind set on something. But it still helps to consider if the direction youre heading is the right way. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may be feeling
a little homesick, especially if you are away on business or on vacation. Try to make the most of the situation even if youre feeling nostalgic. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if it seems like nothing is going your way, keep in mind there is a master plan in the works. You may not be able to see the resolution, but just be patient.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan
20

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, although you have a few projects on your todo list, you cant seem to get started. Instead of looking at the entire list, tackle one task at a time and youll get the job get done. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, turn your thoughts to creative efforts and youll find the days will just fly by. Before you know it, the weekend will be here.

The Cannon
It was beloved American humorist Will Rogers who made the following sage observation: Everything is funny as long as its happening to somebody else. In 1952, in an otherwise rather uninteresting hockey game, Bill Mosienko, right wing for the Chicago Black Hawks, scored an amazing three goals against the New York Rangers in 21 seconds. You probably know that the phrase rack your brain means to think hard, but did you ever wonder where the term originated? The rack being referred to is
the medieval torture device on which victims were stretched, sometimes until limbs were dislocated. The idea is that when youre thinking very hard, youre undergoing a sort of mental torture. The venerable diner saw its peak as a place for a casual meal in the late 1940s, when there were around 7,000 of them across the country. Today there are only about 2,000. A fully mature oak tree gives off 7 tons of water every day through its leaves. Farmers in Turkey
marched on both the American and Soviet embassies in 1967, demanding reparations for crops that they lost to floods. Why were the Americans and Soviets to blame for floods in Turkey? The farmers claimed that the flights of spacecraft created holes in the sky. The idea for the Tooth Fairy seems to have originated in Germany, but the tradition has changed over the years. Instead of putting the tooth under a pillow, Germans used to put the tooth in a rat hole in the hope that the new tooth would grow in to be as strong as the teeth of the rat. *** Thought for the Day: I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go into the library and read a good book. -Groucho Marx (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
