Inside This Week:
Everybody loves to hear tales about the local boy who done good and one of the top law enforcers in the county has been become the latest of such anecdotal personification. Patrick Davis was recently promoted by the Texas Department of Public Safety to the rank of Highway Patrol Sergeant. This means that now Davis is in charge of the DPS office located in Gonzales, the place he was born and raised. Entering into his 27th year with DPS, Davis came out of
rated law enforcement agency in the world. Im proud to be working for them. The Gonzales DPS office houses nine highway troopers with another one coming in this month. It also has one CVE (commerical vehicle enforcement) trooper and a K-9 sergeant. I couldnt ask for a better group of troopers to work with, Davis said. It would be hard for me to come in and change anything because Ive had input throughout my whole time here as a corporal. We have a great group of guys DAVIS, Page A11

From music man to Marine warrior: Shiners Don Wertz

Born in Johnstown, PA., in 1914, Don Wertz was the son of a bookkeeper. By 1928 the Wertz family was fed up with cold weather and relocated to San Antonio. In 1935 Don graduated from Texas A&M at a time when all students were in the Corps and male in gender. His major was dairy industry, but it later lost its appeal so with his mothers encouragement he enrolled at Northwestern U. to become a music major/school teacher. It was 1941 when he got his second degree, and soon thereafter his commission (2nd Lieutenant, Marine Corps) interrupted his civilian career. Although he would not become The Music Man,

he found something better in Evanston, Ill.; her name was Betty, and he married her. Off to Fort Benning he went for basic training. It was 1943 and he had been activated to participate in the Pacific Theatre of Operations. He also trained in Washington, California and Hawaii before heading to the South
Pacific. His infantry heavy weapons specialty would place him in support of Marines on the front lines with heavy, accurate mortar fire on New Guinea, then near Manila, and later northern Luzon in the Philippines. During these campaigns he contracted severe malaria that would revisit him back in the US. His active service spanned four years. In 1946 he and his father operated a John Deer dealership in Bay City. Because of his fathers untimely death by cancer, Don became manager of the dealership for 25 years. Betty would bear him two sons, and they would be put through A&M and TCU. Don had discovered ranch land in Lavaca Coun-
ty that was selling cheap and by 1952 he and Betty had made an investment on the Gonzales County line NW of Shiner. At this time Don called upon his Ag training, primarily chickens working for Weingartens, and began raising poultry in Hallettsville. Prior to this Don and Betty took a sabbatical year in Thailand as part of a church outreach. By this time (1976) Don was old enough for most people to retire, but that would have to wait until 2012! They built a ranch house in 1971 calling it Omega, the Hebrew word meaning the last stop. This is where they would spend the rest of their lives ranching but in 1999 Betty passed away. A year later, Don and Hertha Buske married and lived in Shiner until she passed in 2003. Don returned to the ranch, but finally left for good this past spring for an assisted living apartment in Schulenburg. There he celebrated his
99th birthday in April. Don attributes his long life to selective eating, and minimizing sugars, fats and salt. His intent is to be Gods servant. Don is one of the most gregarious and generous people you will

Former Yoakum attorney sentenced
Hallettsville tabs Morrow as new assistant principal
Former Yoakum lawyer Charles Kvinta Jr. was sentenced on August 1 for mishandling an elderly clients money. According to a plea agreement, Kvinta will serve 45 days in jail and was assessed a $5,000 fine. He has to perform 500 hours of community service and pay restitution to his victim. Kvinta also had to surrender his law license and will be on probation for six years. The charge stemmed from a check made out to Nettie Steen from GeoSouthern Energy for $166,143 that was deposited into a Kvinta, Kvinta and Kvinta law firm trust account, but was never transferred to Steen. Kvinta submitted his resignation as Yoakum city attorney on June 12.

Realizing that women think differently than real people

The hardest thing in the world for any man to figure out is that women dont think the same way we do. And until you can puzzle that basic truth out, guys, you are doomed to wander the world lonely. Its easy to determine what my fellow men are thinking. We share much the same, sane, thought processes: Whats for dinner (or lunch, or breakfast, or midnight snack, depending on the time of day)? Do I have to pay for it? Its not something Im going to have to shop for, is it? Do you have beer to go with it? Whos winning the game? (And the corollary thought: If Id continued playing, which one of those teams would I have been on?) Will it provide immediate (if temporary) gratification? This applies whether youre talking about sex or not until you reach the age of 50, after which it applies only to fishing.

Like men, dogs are easy to puzzle out. Having been owned by chihuahuas for more than 30 years, I can always determine when its time for a feeding, when its time to go outside and when its time to go to bed. Dogs like predictability. But wimmings? Thats a differrent species entirely. Back when I first hooked up with The Wife, the idea of spending anything more than a few minutes in a retail establishment would leave me shuddering in fear. The word shopping itself was not in my lexicon. On those rare occasions I needed to buy something that could
Finding a solid strategy to defeat Obamacare

As the federal budget battle looms closer, the question is asked about what Republicans and conservatives should do about Obamacare? Recent research by some conservative groups has shown that while most Americans dislike Obamacare, most also oppose a government shutdown. The trick to a conservative victory in 2014 will be how to present the facts on Obamacare and the deficit to the public. Two years ago, liberal Democrats proclaimed the virtues Obamacare, particularly to uninformed voters. However facts are coming to light now and the picture is not as rosy as they said. Liberals claimed Obamacare would be good for seniors, but the fact is they will pay for young peoples insurance. Conservatives need to explain that 40% of the cost of giving subsidized insurance for young people is being paid for by reduced spending on the elderly and the disabled. Obamacare tries to achieve savings by paying less to the providers. Where is the incentive for providers (unless the government forces them)?
not be obtained at the drivethrough window at Jack in the Box, my total shopping experiences averaged less than 10 minutes from the time I entered the parking lot until I left it. Basically, when I needed something, I went and got it. I didnt spend time reading labels or judging nutritional value. Since all the produce I consumed came in cans, I didnt have to worry about ripeness. Peg, bless her slower-thana-federal-bureaucrats heart, shops differently. Ive seen her pick up two boxes of macaroni and cheese and shake them, trying to determine which one has the most in it. Shes one of those who takes the top off all the laundry detergents on the aisle to find out which one smells most fresh. It takes her an average of an hour to do what I can accomplish in less than two minutes. So you can imagine my skittishness at our first major expedition as newlyweds. Peg
had decided that my Spartan living conditions needed to change we needed everything from kitchen utensils to pop-up air fresheners. I was told we needed to visit several stores to find what we needed. (I didnt understand the air fresheners part; after all, I showered that week!) By the time wed been to the home improvement store and the mega-superstore, I was worn out. Peg was just getting warmed up. We still had room in the truck. Then we got to the cheapo dollar store. She said those kinds of stores are great for products that dont have to be name-brands she insisted on name-brand foods, but apparently didnt mind 38-cent toilet paper. (With all those air fresheners, I guess, you really didnt notice any difference.) But after watching her heft two absolutely-identical gallon jugs of the same brand of hand soap, I got bored. I wandered ahead along the aisles. Eventually, something neat
caught my eye. I picked it up and went looking for Peg again. I caught her three aisles over, lugging a big basket full of soaps and cleaners to her chest. Look what I found! I exclaimed, thrusting the rubber toy snake up and into her face. She smacked me three times in the nose with that basket, and down I went. When I came to, Peg gave me her schoolmarm look. Dave, I hate snakes. I really, really, hate snakes. See what I mean? Any selfrespecting man wouldve gotten over the immediate shock, laughed about the rubber snake, and would have set the foo-foo smell stuff down and invited me to go share a beer. I ended up having to woozily wobble through four more hours of shopping. Its all right, though: I got my revenge later that evening when Peg discovered the pack of rubber toy roaches I found next to the snake.

2013
Liberals said seniors would NOT lose any Medicare benefits, however Obamacare will reduce spending on Medicare Advantage plans by $156 billion. This reduction will inevitably lead to a loss of benefits because although promised benefits wont change under orthodox Medicare, by reducing provider fees seniors will get less care. We should remember that lower payments to providers means less access and less access means less care (unless, of course, the government forces them). They also claimed Obamacare would make Medicare more solvent. Thats because it pays doctors and hospitals less money. While we could wipe out Medicares $43 trillion unfunded liability to zero by not paying doctors and hospitals at all, will this help create more access to health for seniors? They simply would not be able to find a doctor who would see them or a hospital that would admit them (unless the government forces them). Liberals said Obamacare was fully paid for and that it was going to make Medicare more efficient. But more efficient means Obamacare mandates a reduction in provider fees (the government forcing them). We have also learned that ObamaCare robs Medicare in order to create a new entitlement for young people, and still leaves Medicare with an unfunded liability on the order of about $86 trillion. This only makes the national deficit worst. These are just a few of the facts we have learned in the past few months about Obamacare. Now we need to figure out how to defeat it. As previously mentioned, a majority of Americans dislike Obamacare, but hate the idea of shutting down the government. Obama and the Democrats are threatening to shut down the government and blame the Republicans if they try to defund Obamacare. However, if Republicans delay funding Obamacare because of costs, and search for alternatives, that would avoid a shutdownand Republicans will stand a better chance of winning in 2014. Once in control of the House and Senate, Republicans can defund or even repeal Obamacare. Time will tell if a winning first approach will be adopted as the best way to deal with Obamacare.
Suicide by government: the sad story of Detroit

The case of the city of Detroit isnt much of a murder mystery. Various suspects have been fingered in its demise: The global economy. The fall of the auto industry. The decline of manufacturing generally. But its simpler than that. Detroit died of its own hand. The city undertook a controlled experiment in what happens if you are governed by a toxic combination of Great Society big spenders, race hustlers, crooks, public-sector unions and ineffectual reformers. It spent and misgoverned itself into the ground. Detroit discovered that all the social spending in the world doesnt deliver order, family stability, education, economic dynamism or effective governance. The citys downfall started long before anyone imagined that the Big Three would ever be anything but overwhelmingly dominant. Hardly anyone had heard of Toyota in 1967 when riots ripped the city and a long crime wave began that made it unlivable. According to Henry Payne of The Detroit News, the murder rate climbed from 13 per 100,000 residents in 1966 to 51 per 100,000 by 1976. It was the citys dysfunction that made it unappealing to the auto companies rather than the diminished state of the auto companies that made the city dysfunctional. The citys mayor for 20 years, Coleman Young, was an ethically challenged black nationalist who hated the suburbs. Under Young, journalist Zev Chafets writes, Detroit had all the trappings of a third world city -- the showcase projects, an external enemy and the cult of personality. And this was in the good old days of the 1970s and 1980s. By this point, Detroit had already reached terminal velocity on its own. GM had nothing to do with the City Council promising benefits to retirees that it couldnt possibly pay. Chrysler didnt disgracefully mismanage city agencies. Ford didnt disastrously degrade the citys human capital.
Rich Lowry
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review and a syndicated columnist for King Features Syndicate.
Detroit is a city that has celebrated and feasted on government for decades and yet is incapable of the most basic function of government. Crimes basically arent solved. The clearance rate is 8.7 percent. This in a city that needs a first-rate police force. Its crime rate is five times the national average. Henry Payne notes that 80 percent of the citys children grow up fatherless, and that of the 50 percent of black men who are highschool dropouts, more than 70 percent dont have a job, and 60 percent have done time. The city rewards anyone who cant escape its boundaries -- more than a million people have since 1950, when it had 1.8 million residents -- with stifling taxes in a futile attempt to keep up with spending. It has the highest per capita tax burden in Michigan, despite the low per capita income of its residents. None of this is the product of the creative destruction of capitalism. Despite globalization, urban America is alive and well outside of Detroit. Pittsburgh experienced similar economic dislocation when the steel industry collapsed, but hasnt descended into an urban dystopia. Cities in the South like Houston and Raleigh, N.C., are economically vibrant and attractive to new residents. The way Detroit was once, a very long time ago.

Perspectives
Im proud to be an American where at least I know Im free, And I wont forget the men who died who gave that right to me, And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, Cause there aint no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A. Lee Greenwood Back when I was young I did my time. In uniform. In the 19 and 60s at the height of a strange little war: Vietnam. It took place in a strange little country: Vietnam. At the time, back in the world and on college campuses, the mindless youth only paid homage to those serving--by protesting. Or packing a bag and crossing the border. Into Canada. There was little flag waving, but burning the banner was as popular as burning bras and draft cards. Anyway, a serviceman or woman held minor stock in the opinion of the protesters. The Living Room War blended anxiety and tears for the parents. While the grunts waded knee deep in the Big Muddy, stateside it was love beads, tambourines, peace jewelry, incense. Flower power and love-ins and marijuana were embraced 24-7. Groovy, Man, lets burn some cherry incense and get high and march in protest: Hell No, We Wont Go. Across town in a little chapel, haunting music was echoing off the walls, a flagdraped coffin awaited its final destination. It was a volatile time for the U.S. of A. Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) staged sit-ins at universities. Civil rights marchers fought for social reform. And GIs made the news for refusing to serve. Two Kennedys were assassinated as was Martin Luther King. A fellow by the name of Manson, along with his followers, were in the headlines, too. An ex-marine, Charles Whitman, went on a shooting spree at the University of Texas. Though they were dissenters aplenty, America the Beautiful survived. And the flag continued to fly. Until. Fade to black. Fast forward to today. Some of us are concerned for the future of what was once considered the model of democracy. In the 19 and 60s we were thought to be blessed by The Great Society. But some 40 years later we have to ask, what has been the human cost of freedom? We can all sing patriotic songs and pledge allegiance. Yet such resonance has little influence on our day to day activities. My ownself, well, Im in my twilight years so what transpires in the next decade will have little effect on this ol curmudgeon. But for my granddaughter and your grandchildren what type of freedom will they have, if any. Considering that Big Brother is indeed watching over you today. The past two democratic presidents are certainly no role models, in my mind. Clinton and Obama share a brotherhood of smoking dope. Clinton was impeached. But served two terms. Neither served in uniform. Should the flag fly, photos attest that Obama and Michelle never see fit to place a hand over

the heart or salute. Clinton survived a sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky and last week an audio sex tape surfaced. Did it do him any harm? Hes pocketed over $100 million in speaking fees since he left office. So it is profitable to serve as president. Appears to be. Obamas net worth in 2007 was estimated to be $1.3 million prior to taking up residence in the Oval Office. Today it is estimated to be around $8.3 million. You know what that comes to in dollars and cents? Well, his hometown of Chicago faces a $1 billion shortfall by 2015. If he is not on vacation, hes on the golf course. The leader of what was once the free world spends more time on the links than Tiger Woods. What has evolved in the U.S. of A. is that we are living in a Gestapo State. The FBI pressures internet providers to install surveillance software. And the feds are adept at acquiring databases to help launch criminal investigations of all American citizens. Wiretapping and access to e-mails and internet browsing records are checked. All in the name of national security. Oh yes. We are at war with terrorism. Just listen to scripted speeches. Consider what is going on, or not going on, at Fort Hood. Where Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 people and wounded 32 on Nov. 5, 2009. That slaughter occurred three and half years ago and his trial is just now getting underway. When he opened fire Hasan reportedly screamed, Allahu Akbar! The Muslim war cry God is great in Arabic. But Obama said his actions didnt constitute terrorism, but was merely workplace violence. Oh yes: Hasan continues to receive his pay while awaiting trial. As of May he had been paid more that $280,000 since being charged with the shootings. In short, the worlds getting a little older and Im getting a lot older. And my feelings are mixed about being proud to be an American. Or even flying a flag our president doesnt see fit to acknowledge. Today, I give thought to a thought from Thomas Jefferson: I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Okay, one more to think about. This one from Theodore Roosevelt: To announce that there must be no criticism of the president is morally treasonable to the American public. Catch you down the road or on the governments all encompassing Candid Camera.

COUNCIL: Citys tax rate undecided after meeting

Continued from page A1
rollback rate of $.1992, the city could generate the additional funds for a needed maintenance team while still lowering the overall tax rate. The citys overall property values increased some $25 million this year, Barnes said, enabling the drop in the rates of about four cents for the rollback rate and nearly five cents for the effective rate. The Council had the option of immediately adopting the effective rate, or opting for any figure up to the rollback rate and then finalizing that number following two public hearings. Council members Lorenzo Hernandez and Clarence Opiela backed setting the rate at the effective tax rate, but Councilman Gary Schroeder and Mayor Bobby Logan said they preferred to hear from the public about the need for the additional maintenance crew before making a final call. Logan said the additional maintenance positions were needed because many of the small-construction and maintenance tasks the city currently needs are being handled by personnel in other departments, such as code enforcement. Barnes noted that during the tenure of previous city managers, the city had trimmed a total of about 30 positions from the payroll, but noted We had not anticipated adding a maintenance crew this year. It sure would be nice to have those positions, Schroeder said. Its such a small percentage. But Id rather hear what the public wants, do we need that or are they going to assassinate me if I vote for it? Lets listen to the citizens. Opiela and Hernandez said their motivation is keeping taxes as low as possible. Its hard for me to go to the tax office and see people struggling to pay their taxes to keep their property, Hernandez said. With Councilman Tomy Schurig absent, the issue wound up in a 2-2 deadlock on Hernandezs motion to set the rate at the effective rate. Schroeders motion to approve the rollback rate died for lack of a second, leaving the issue unresolved until a special meeting is called or the council re-examines it during a scheduled Aug. 22 meeting. The Council also approved several actions by the citys Tourism Board during Tuesdays lengthy meeting, and established a new advisory board for the J.B. Wells Park complex with the appointment of nine members. The Council named Crissy ONeal, Suzanne Sexton, Kevin LaFleur, Kurt Trammel and Jesse Elizondo to two-year terms on the JB Wells Advisory Board, with Wesley Caldwell, Steve Hendershot, William Sheppard and Brian Herndon named to one-year terms. The Board will advise city staff on plans for renovations and expansions at the park. Council also approved a one-year contract with Chris Shuler to provide conces-

Padilla draws supervision for 2008 crime spree

By CEDRIC IGLEHART
A local man who managed to stave off punishment for five years was given a chance to spend that same term under community supervision Jesus Fidencio Padilla, 22 of Gonzales, appeared in 2nd 25th District Court
Wednesday morning before Judge W.C. Kirkendall for sentencing for his role in an incident that took place in 2008, which resulted in six charges against him. According to published reports, five years ago Padilla and another man allegedly stole a pickup truck near County Road
237, three miles north of Gonzales. They drove it until it stalled out and jumped onto a tractor which they subsequently crashed into a camper trailer, causing both vehicles and a building to burst into flames. Padilla and his alleged accomplice were arrested by sheriff s deputies
shortly afterwards, and were eventually released from the Gonzales County Jail on bond. All charges against Padillas co-defendant were dropped, but until instead of showing up for court Padilla opted to flee to Mexico. He was arrested earlier this year by Border Patrol and served 30 days for im-

migration violation and possession of marijuana before he was transported back to Gonzales County in April on charges of jumping bail. On July 10, Kirkendall ordered a pre-sentencing investigation (PSI) on Padilla after the State agreed to drop three of his six charges. They entered into a plea agreement with Padilla where they recommended 15 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for arson of a habitation, arson of a building and burglary of a habitation. During Wednesdays sentencing hearing, Padilla explained his state of mind and the thought processes that caused him to illegally leave the jurisdiction. I was scared because of the amount of time that I was facing, he told the court. I should have faced what I had coming to me because I know I did it. After a while, I had a son and decided it was time to get my life together. Padillas attorney, Eddie Escobar, asked the court to consider probation for his client, citing the fact that the PSI showed only
one misdemeanor on his record prior to the incident in 2008. Hes asking for a second chance, Escobar said. Escobar also brought up the point that since Padillas co-defendant was cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident, his client is the only person who has a chance to make restitution to the victims. Padilla, who confessed to being high on marijuana and crack at the time of the incident, told the court he just wants an opportunity to set things right. Im older and wiser now and I know how to stay out of trouble, he said. Im a better person. I need to repay the victims for what Ive done and I cant do that in prison. Prefaced by the statement Be careful what you wish for, Kirkendall sentenced Padilla to five years deferred adjudication and also ordered him to confinement in an Intermediate Sanction Facility (ISF). While in ISF, Padilla must successfully complete a drug treatment program and acquire his GED or he could face punishment up to 99 years in jail.

DAVIS: Trooper promoted

who are dedicated and work extremely hard. Davis said some of the primary goals of the office have changed over the last couple of years, most notably is the increased emphasis on road safety. The area has been inundated with CVE troopers recently as a result of a task force formed by DPS due to the high volume of truck traffic. Right now our focus is on the Eagle Ford Shale because the traffic is so outstanding, theres just trucks everywhere, he said. Weve had a lot of accidents involving commerical motor vehicles, but luckily most of those have not been those vehicles fault. Weve had complaints from the citizens so weve made it a point to help keep the roads safe. While Davis is proficient in several areas of law enforcement, he is widely regarded as an expert in criminal drug interdiction (CDI). In 1996, he received the DPS Directors Citation for making over 25 arrests resulting in large amounts of contraband being taken off the road. That same year he was also recognized nationally by the U.S. Western District Federal Court in San
Antonio, who named Davis as the Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee (LECC) State Law Enforcement Officer of the Year. Highly decorated for his CDI prowess, Davis has also earned numerous Service Commander Awards in addition to honors from the U.S. Department of Transportation. His exploits were also chronicled on popular television show Real Stories of the Highway Patrol, during which he initiated a traffic stop on camera that resulted in the seizure of over 70 pounds of marijuana. Because of his expertise, Davis is a frequent speaker at Drug Interdiction Assistance Program conferences and has also taught his techniques to law enforcement agencies in Fort Scott, Kansas; Columbia, South Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Orlando, Florida. Those conferences are a great networking tool where you can see the trends of whats happening in other areas, Davis said. Of course, everybody wants to know whats going on in Texas because being on the Mexican border we get a lot of big loads. Working with other officers has been a wonderful part of my career. Davis is so good at drug
interdiction, hes even been credited with assisting in busts in his sleep. I get phone calls all the time where an officer has stopped a vehicle and asks for my opinion on where to look for contraband, he said. Its a great feeling to be able to talk an officer through a successful drug bust at 3 in the morning. Ive always loved to get out on the interstate and get drug busts. I think its exciting, plus in our position, we can get DWI drivers off the road. Davis is married with one daughter and has two brothers who also live in the Gonzales area. He has also reveled in the opportunity to be an important part of the group of people charged with this areas safety. Being a hometown boy its always great to have the trust and respect of the people in the county, said Davis. They are the ones who compose the jury when we file cases. Its awesome when they side with us because they know that as law enforcement officers, we work day and night trying to keep them safe. I just want to thank Gonzales for all of its support.

Today in Texas History

August 8, 1935
On this day in 1935, Joseph Arrington Jr. was born in Rogers, Texas. Arrington, who later gained fame as a soul singer under the name Joe Tex, moved to Baytown at age five with his mother after her divorce from his father. In Baytown he performed song and dance routines to enhance his business as a young shoeshine and paper boy. He also sang in school and church choirs. As a high school junior, Arrington won first prize in a Houston talent contest and won $300 and a weeks stay at a hotel in Harlem. During a four-week period he won the Apollo Theaters amateur night competition four times. After graduating from high school in 1955, he returned to New York City to pursue a music career. He landed his first contract with King Records and in the coming years, as Joe Tex, recorded a number of hits, including Hold On To What You Got, Papa Was Too, Skinny Legs and All, and his biggest seller, I Gotcha, which went platinum in 1971. Arrington returned to show business in 1975 and enjoyed moderate success until the 1977 smash I Aint Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman) put him back on the top of the charts. Arrington died of heart failure in 1982 at his home in Navasota.
Voters in Gonzales County planning to cast ballots in Novembers local general elections as well as next springs primaries should be aware that the new Texas Voter ID law will be in effect, Gonzales County Clerk Lee Ridel said. Riedel, along with George Ara and Courtney Decker of the Voters Registration/Tax Office, recently attended an election law forum in Austin. In Gonzales County, we are working to make sure voters understand the new ID requirements and have all the information they need to cast their ballots, Riedel said. A voter will be required to show one of the following forms of photo identification at the polling station before being allowed to cast a ballot: Texas Drivers License issues by the Texas Department of Public Safety; A Texas Election Certifi-
Voter ID law will affect 2014 primaries

cate issued by DPS; A Texas Identification Card issued by DPS; A Texas Concealed Handgun License issued by DPS; United States Armed Forces military identification card containing photograph; United States Citizenship certificate containing the persons photograph; United States passport. With the exception of the citizenship certificate, the identification must be current or have expired no more than 60 days before being presented at the polling place. The photo ID requirement does not apply, however, to those casting ballots by mail. Voters age 65 and older may vote by mail. Election officials are encouraging voters to update their voter registrations to reflect the names on their IDs. Voters may use IDs that do not exactly match the name on their IDs if the names are substantially similar but will have to sign an affadavit stating they are the same person. Voters may look up their registration at votetexas.gov and if their name is not an exact match they can update their voter registration online. By preparing now, voters can help make sure voting goes smoothly when it comes time for the election, Riedel said. Gonzales County voters can also call 672-2841 for more information. For the March 4, 2014 primary election, application for ballots by mail will be accepted beginning Jan. 3, 2014. They may be hand-delivered until Feb. 18 and must be received by mail no later than Feb. 21. Mail ballots must be returned by mail by election day. Early voting by personal appearance begins at 8 a.m. Monday, Feb. 18 and ends at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28. Voting will continue weekdays from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Early voting locations will include: The Courthouse Annex (1709 Sarah DeWitt Dr. in

Deputy gets traffickers goat and his pot, too

FLATONIA Goats are known as omnivorous animals, but marijuana isnt part of their recommended diet. Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek reports that a would be drug trafficker is in jail after being arrested by Deputy Randy Thumann and his K9 Partner LOBOS. Thumann and Lobos were on patrol on I-10 near Flatonia and stopped a pickup pulling a stock trailer for a traffic violation. The subject claimed to be hauling goats that he had purchased in Laredo and was taking them to Houston to sell for a profit. Thu-
mann was very suspicious of the story and consent to search was acquired for the truck and trailer. The subsequent search resulted in the discovery of a false floor in the trailer containing the hidden cargo, bundles and bundles of marijuana. The subject was arrested and the truck, trailer and goats were seized.

I am glad I only played on one side of the ball. In the first quarter, Ratleys first catch was a six-yard pass from Jake Hubenak of Georgetown which he took down to the North 27 as time expired. In second quarter action, Ratley helped the South to a 14-12 advantage after North had taken a 12-7 lead. On first down at the South 22, Ratley hauled in a 46-yard pass from Hubenak to the North 32 and caught a touchdown on the next play for 32 yards to cap a quick, twoplay, 78-yard drive which lasted all of 24 seconds. Ratley led the South to a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter. On a second-and-10 play at the North 31, Hubenak went to Ratley for 15 yards. On the next play, Hubenak found Ratley again, this one a

Gonzales junior Krisslynn Sexton had no idea of what she had just accomplished. The local track athlete helped her mile-relay team to a second-place finish July 5-7 during the Down Under Games in Sydney, Australia. Sexton, Briana Hall, Armonni Hicks and Kateland Fullerton completed the relay with a time of 4 minutes, 16.91 seconds. The team from Fast Track Athletics (Madison Shav, Kailee Howard, Got Malual and Hannah Cox) took first place as they were clocked at 4:11.19. Sexton had run her leg in about 59 seconds, which was a personal record for
her. She did not make the discovery until after the race. I was surprised. I did not know that I was running that fast until I saw the coachs stop watch, Sexton said. I was thankful to be able to have run in that race and I thank God for giving me the strength to run it well. Sexton will be trying to better that mile-relay leg PR. I need to work very hard and put in extra time, maybe even staying after practice to work, she said. Sexton said her experience in Australia will help for the upcoming Gonzales 2014 track season. She is especially excited about the varsity Lady Apache milerelay team. In Australia she also
competed in the 400-meter dash, where she qualified for the finals with a time of 65.57. She finished in 59.0 place 14th overall. According to Sexton, officials invited her back next summer to compete. However, she declined for 2014 and said she would participate in July 2015, after her graduation from high school. Sexton expressed her gratitude to all of the businesses, organizations and individuals who helped her in some way or another including Gonzales Mayor Bobby Logan, Gonzales City Council, Sievers Medical Clinic and Dr. David Meredith, KCTI Radio, Gonzales Independent School District, her mother, Joyce, and the rest of her family.
Monday was the first day of football practice at Gonzales High School. The first day of contact will be Friday with intrasquad scrimmages set for Saturday morning, beginning at 10 a.m. at Apache Stadium. (Photo by Mark Lube)

Tri-County 18U team falls in Southwest Regional

Cannon News Services The Texas Tri-County 18u teams hope of making it back to the Babe Ruth World Series ended in El Dorado, Ark. at the Southwest Regional Tournament as the South Arkansas representative, Crossett, picked up a 2-1 extra inning win on July 29 afternoon to eliminate TriCounty. We had a good run and the guys fought to the very end, TC Manager Tony Neuendorff said. I couldnt be prouder of these guys. We had a great group of ball players. Tri-County opened up tournament play with an 11-0 shutout over West Texas (Dumas) before getting knocked down to the losers bracket with a 7-4 loss to Northwest Arkansas on July 28. TC rebounded with a 4-0 win over Arkansas Pulpwood (Camden) that evening before falling to Crossett the next afternoon.
The Texas Tri-County 18-under team fell just short of their bid to return to the Babe Ruth World Series after losing to Crossett, Arkansas in extra innings on July 29. Team members include: (seated, from left) Justin Reeves of Hallettsville, Blake Michalec of Shiner, Weston Seay of Hallettsville, Chris Jones of Hallettsville, Dylan Blaha of Weimar, Blake McCracken of Yoakum, (kneeling) Zane Ponder of Flatonia, Sam Patek of Yoakum, John Michael Blaha of Weimar, Laken Grimes of La Grange, Cade Brewer of Sweet Home, John Patek of Yoakum, (standing) Manager Tony Neuendorff of Bernardo, Coach Russell Goebel of Cuero, Dakota Kresta of Shiner, Carson Schindler of Hallettsville, Weston Wick of La Grange, Casey Morrow of Yoakum, Justin Neiser of La Grange and Coach Jack Crandall of Hallettsville. (Courtesy photo) Tri-County 11, West Texas 0 TC made quick work of West Texas, scoring two in the 1st, one in the 2nd, six in the 3rd and two in the 4th before the game was called via the 10-run mercy rule after the top of the 5th. Carson Schindler (Hallettsville) and Casey Morrow (Yoakum) combined to pitch a perfect game. Schindler, who was credited with the win after going three innings, struck out six batters while Morrow got two strikeouts in two innings of relief. Dylan Blaha (Weimar), Cade Brewer (Sweet Home) and Laken Grimes (La Grange) each went 2-for4 as TC posted 12 hits in the contest. Grimes posted a double, Blaha tallied two RBI and Brewer knocked in one run. Also getting hits in the game were: Morrow, Weston Wick (La Grange), Zane Ponder (Flatonia), John Patek (Yoakum), Dakota Kresta (Shiner) and Blake McCracken (Yoakum). Morrow tallied two RBI while Justin Reeves (Hallettsville) and Wick each had one RBI. Blaha and Blake Michalec (Shiner) each also stole a base in the game. NW Arkansas 7, TriCounty 4 Errors and stranding 11 runners on base proved costly for Tri-County in their second game of the tournament as NWA collected a 7-4 victory. Despite out-hitting NWA, 7-5, a bad second inning led to four runs for NWA to give them an early 5-0 lead and TC never recovered. NWA managed to plate one run each in the first, fourth and sixth innings while TC got two each in the fourth and seventh frames. TC finished with four costly errors as only one NWA run was earned. Chris Jones (Hallettsville) was the tough luck loser, going 5 2/3 innings and only giving up the one earned run on five hits with seven strikeouts and six walks. Wick came on to pitch the final 1/3 inning, allowing no runs and no hits. Reeves led TC at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases. Ponder went 1-for-2 with two RBI, Wick went 1-for-1 with an RBI, and Patek also knocked in a run. Schindler, Brewer and Jones also had hits in the game. Tri-County 4, Arkansas Pulpwood 0 Schindler and Ponder combined to pitch a complete game shutout over Pulpwood, 4-0, to keep TC alive in the tournament. Schindler went five innings to collect his second win of the tournament, allowing just five hits with four strikeouts and one walk. Ponder pitched the final two innings, yielding just one hit with one strikeout and no walks. After two scoreless innings, TC finally got on the board with a run in the top of the third and three in the top of the fourth. TriCounty out-hit Pulpwood, 9-6. Kresta went 2-for-3 with a run scored while Wick went 2-for-4 with a run scored. McCracken went 1-for-2 with an RBI and run scored with Blaha going 1-for-3 with an RBI. Also getting hits in the contest were: Schindler, Reeves, Grimes and Ponder. Reeves and Wick each hit doubles while Ponder scored a run. Crossett 2, Tri-County 1 Weston Seay (Hallettsville) allowed just one run through seven innings, but Tri-County couldnt muster enough offense as Crossett pulled out a 2-1 victory in eight innings to eliminate TC from the tournament. TC got on the board in the bottom of the fourth when Blaha scored on a passed ball. TC loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth, but one run was all TC could get out of it. Crossett finally got on the board in the top of the 6th when they too scored on a passed ball to make it 1-1. Neither team could score in the seventh frame, sending the game into extras. Ponder relieved Seay to begin the eighth inning and TRI-COUNTY, Page B3

For the eighth consecutive summer, anglers from all over South Central Texas met at Goose Island State Park in Rockport for a day of fun, friendly fishing competition. The event, better known as the Stastny Hacek Fishing Tournament, was held on June 28-29, with this being the fourth year the event was held in memory of Edward J. Beal, D.D.S., who was a devoted supporter of this fund raiser and a faithful benefactor of his alma mater, Shiner Catholic School. Since the inception of this tournament, approximately $130,000 has been raised for the Religious Education Endowment Fund, specifically for the religious education of Shiner and surrounding community youth who attend Shiner Catholic School and the CCD program. The event kicked off on Friday, when supporters registered for the competition and had a chance to purchase raffle tickets for the 17 donated prizes. While teams registered and shared stories and memories of previous years catches, the Shiner KCs were busy preparing what they are known for: a delicious meal of pork steak, pinto beans and potato salad. Saturdays competition was limited to six people per boat (four adults maximum) and children age 16 and under were able to fish free on each team. Fishing began at 5 a.m. with weigh-in from 3-4:30 p.m. Many of the fishing teams donated their days catch
game wardens
AUSTIN Twenty-eight new state game wardens soon will be spreading across Texas to begin their law enforcement duties after completing seven months of intensive training at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Game Warden Training Center in Hamilton County. The 58th Game Warden class graduated in ceremonies at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the House of Representatives chamber at the Capitol in Austin. Featured speaker at the event was Daniel Hodge, first assistant Attorney General of Texas. . The new game wardens will be reporting for duty at stations spanning the state from East Texas to El Paso. While the primary duty of state game wardens is to enforce hunting and fishing laws and water safety regulations, they are fully commissioned peace officers who also respond to natural disasters, assist other local and state law enforcement agencies as well as conducting public outreach on a variety of conservation-related topics. The new game wardens received 618 hours of instruction to meet the state- mandated training requirements for their basic peace officer certification including criminal and constitutional law; firearms; self defense; use of force; defensive driving; arrest, search and seizure; ethics, and first aid. In addition, their curriculum included another 700 to 750 hours of training related to wildlife and fisheries enforcement, the Texas Water Safety Act, wildlife and fisheries identification, public relations and communications, boat operation, ATV operation, and specialized patrol tactics. The new wardens also have become certified hunter education and boater education instructors. These are the new game wardens and the counties in
which they will be stationed: Mark R. Anderson- Starr County Samuel D. AndersonBrewster County Michael I. Blevins-Ward/ Loving/Winkler County Joshua A.

Also Margie Menking was there and the Carlsons were able to be there too. They had been under the weather for a while and it was good to see them back in church. They had a special communion service in the Parish Hall last Sunday at Monthalia. The Communion Table had dates, cheeses, breads, along with the wine. This is celebrated usually once a year and is a special occasion Pastor Paul puts a lot of effort into creating for the congregation.

ONeal. She had been a resident of The Heights for quite some time but had been getting a little weaker as time went on. I know that she lived a long productive life and will be missed by her relatives and friends. Iva Lee Hodge was known to many and loved by many relatives and friends. I wasnt privileged to know her but heard so many wonderful things about her and her acts of kindness to others. I know she will be greatly missed. It has been a long tiring day. The doctors cannot make up their minds what to do about the bone that is a sliver of the fibula trying to come out of the side of my leg. I found the medicine at only one pharmacy in Seguin, and when I did find it, I just about fainted at the cost of one tube of
medicine. I think it must be made out of solid gold. A 2.4 tube of medicine for $174.50 is a little pricy. I had doctors telling me things today, but I might be telling doctors things tomorrow. I found out that one of L. A. Lindemann Jr.s favorite words is smite or smote. It is used a lot in the Bible. Samson was in full force with his smiting today. Pepe dug his claws into Samson a little too far and Samson smote Pepe so hard that he took to hiding under the bed for a good thirty minutes before he dared stick his head back out to see if it was safe to come out. When he did come out, he was a model little kitty. I guess he had better had because Samsons claws are long and they are sharp. Have a good week and God Bless.

County. All profanity is prohibited during her reign. If the newly selected Miss Gonzales County cannot fulfill all of the expressed duties or if she violates any rules set forth for a contestant, she will immediately relinquish her title, crown and scholarship upon the direction of the Pageant Director and the Pageant Committee and the first runner-up will be eligible for the title. The Miss Gonzales County must serve in accordance of her title. If she feels that she would not care to be under the watchful eye of the community and the committee for one year, then she may want to reconsider entering the contest. The committee has the right to remove her crown and the first runner-up of the contest would take over as the reigning Miss Gonzales County. This is a possibility that the committee wants her to know about. For more information, send email to Admin@GonzalesTexas.com or call 830-672-6532.

turn to the left when exiting a cave. You probably think you know that bears love honey -- after all, popular culture is full of images of bears going after a hive. The bears do, in fact, eat the honey, but theyre really after the bees, their pupae and their larvae. There are more than 2,000 species of plants that contain some form of cyanide. If you are a logophile, you might know that the word obstreperous means noisy and difficult to control. You probably dont realize, though, that the noun most likely to follow the word obstreperous is teenager. But I doubt youll be surprised. *** Thought for the Day: Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers. -- T.S. Eliot (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
It was noted wit, playwright, essayist and poet Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observation: A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it. If youre heading to the state of Washington with mischief on your mind, youll need to keep in mind this state law: A motorist with criminal intentions (must) stop at the city limits and telephone the chief of police as he (or she) is entering the town. Ill bet that one has been really effective in stopping crime. You might be surprised to

Dear Parents of 2013-14 Incoming Freshmen to GHS: Our year is rapidly moving along. The eighth grade students have made us proud thus far and we are looking forward to continued progress and high performance in the months to come. As we look ahead at the coming year there are changes to expect in the area of student lunch programming. Superintendents Beginning with the Letter 2013-14 school year, ninth grade lunches will be operating un- Dr. Kim der a closed lunch Strozier schedule. Sophomore, Junior and Senior students will continue to Dr. Kimberly Strozier is superintenoperate under an open dent of Gonzales ISD. lunch schedule. As the Freshmen move on to their Sophomore year in 2014-15, the Sophomore lunches will close as well. For upperclassmen, Junior and Senior student lunches will remain open as they are at this time. You may anticipate more stringent rules for upperclassmen in retaining an open lunch related to best behavior off campus, appropriate report card scores and high attendance. As we move forward we will keep you informed. As you know, the goal for all is high student performance. Research indicates that closed campus programs indeed have higher academic performance results. There are many reasons attributed to these results including car accidents, drug use, fighting, and inappropriate relationships. Additionally, some students are more apt to not return to school for the duration of the school day. There are benefits to open campus lunch as well. Our decision to keep the open campus concept for upperclassmen is in part to retain what has always been a tradition in our community. Students learn skills required for the work force including time management. Additionally, when conditions are placed on open lunch privileges, the research indicates that in the higher grades, no effect on student performance is observed. Without conditions, there is a negative effect on at risk populations. We are in the midst of working on the scheduling aspect of the changes related to the lunch schedule. For incoming ninth graders, we anticipate a separate lunch time in the schedule. For the other grades, you may expect the same type of schedule as in the past. Additionally, we are working on choices of lunch options for students. We may also anticipate that some parents will want to pick up students and take their child to lunch. Look for posting of this letter with additional reference points on the district website soon. As we move forward in preparation, please know that we are here to answer your questions or assist in any way to make the transition a positive one. Sincerely, Kimberly Strozier Superintendent
