districts contesting of a saltwater-disposal well permit at their last meeting when County Tax Assessor-Collector Crystal Cedillo told them the property where the well would be located was the subject of legal action by several taxing entities, including GCUWCD, over non-payment of taxes from a six-year period. While the district does not issue permits for saltwater-disposal wells (SWD), it can file objections with the Texas Railroad Commission if it believes the wells would negatively affect potable water formations. The owner of the property is an estate, and Director Barry Miller told the board he had been informed that the executor of that estate, Charles English, had no WATER, Page A5

Found Footage 3D is inspired by The Blair Witch Project and Scream. Like Scream, the characters are familiar with the horror genre and know all rules and conventions therein. The storyline brief from IMDb.com describes it as, A group of filmmakers set out to make the first 3D found footage horror film, but find themselves IN the first 3D found footage horror film when the evil entity from the film escapes into their behind-the-scenes footage. Another of the producers, Kim Henkel, was co-creator of The Texas

Gonzales County Underground Water Conservation District directors on Tuesday began preparing for a rewrite of the boards rules, but action on a couple of saltwater-disposal well permits occupied much of the discussion. The board recently revised its management plan and as such will re-write its rules to update them to include new responsibilities. The board will seek written comments before making a first draft of those rules, then will hold a public hearing this summer before making final revisions. Action delayed from the boards last meeting drew some of the most interesting commentary of the meeting, however. Directors had been ready to approve dropping the

Ads, news releases and who wields influence


Every now and then it becomes incumbent on us to explain how a community paper operates, if only to dispel a few notions about how what gets printed gets selected and who directs whats in the paper. Lets start with defining what is an ad and what is a story. Had someone stop by the office the other day wanting to put an ad in the paper. When asked what kind of ad he was talking about, he produced a news release about an organizations upcoming event featuring a particular speaker. Well, thats a news release, thats a story, I told him. Yeah, was the response. How much does that cost? Nothing, I replied. News is news, no charge for news. The person left very happy. Hed been told by some other publications around the region that his news release was advertising and hed have to pay premium rates to run it.

Didnt we fight this Cold War once already?


This is an edited transcript of commentary heard on The News from the Camphouse on KULM 98.3 FM. Brune: Certain aspects of American and World History may be creeping up and biting us again. In 1961 the Cold War was in full swing, the Belin Wall was built, and the world narrowly averted a nuclear crisis that would have put intermediate and medium range missiles 90 miles from Miami, Florida. Unless youre older than me, and Im 56, you may not remember the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Bay of Pigs was President John F. Kennedys (JFK) biggest failure. The purpose was to overthrow Castros communist regime in Cuba. It was originally a plan orchestrated by former President Eisenhower and later picked up by JFK. It was a scheme brought by the CIA and approved by the two presidents to not use American troops on the ground but to rather use Cuban freedom fighters. These Cubans were promised American air support and expected to have Marines backing them up. JFK cut the number of planes to be used as support and Ameri-

and spelling mistakes and re-craft the news release into newspaper style. News stories are designed to inform our readers, not sell your products. Placement is entirely up to our news judgement with items like that; there have been occasions when contibuted news releases have run as front-page pieces based on their news value to our readership, and other times weve condensed them into a community brief. If you want something run the way you wrote it, and want a say in where it appears, then youre welcome to pay for advertising space. Certain rules of newspaper design apply: ads stack on a page to the inside and bottom, underneath news copy, save for a page sponsor banner. Then there are the folks who think that purchasing advertising space allows them to dictate editorial policy. A couple of years back, we had someone whod been a very regular advertiser demand that we

cease publishing op-ed pieces advocating a particular viewpoint or hed pull his advertising. We hated to see him go, but its a matter of integrity. What appears regularly on our Opinion pages reflects (1) the individual views of the author and (2) the general political views of what the editor and The Gonzales Cannon, Inc.s Board of Directors perceive to be that of the majority of our readers. The Cannon was established to give the community a newspaper voice which was more conservative, and thats the general tone of most of our regular op-ed columnists. At the same time, as a community newspaper, we are obligated to allow the community to have its say, and not everyone in the community shares our views on all issues. We have run Letters to the Editor and guest commentaries with which we pointedly do not agree. We welcome such submissions. Opinions stay on the Opinions page, however. Our editorial

stance does not influence what stories are covered, nor how they are covered. Our news policy is to promote controlled economic growth and responsible local government. When questions need to be asked, we ask them of our local officials. Those questions can sometimes be difficult to address, and sometimes the answers are not completely satisfactory to everyone who reads the story. The good news is that partly as a result of some of our past reporting, were seeing a lot more transparency in local government these days. Road waste wont be dumped in the Guadalupe again any time soon, and people look a lot more closely at mail-in ballots than they used to. There are still issues here and there, but by and large our readers have told us they have gained a better level of trust in local government since The Cannon began publishing. We take that as a sign were doing our job right.

can ground troops were never part of the plan. Ultimately, the small force of Cubans were pinned down, defeated, and imprisoned. The Bay of Pigs gave Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev reason to believe that JFK was a young, inexperienced, and a weak U.S. leader. This thinking gave rise to the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a standoff between the two global forces as Russia built missile bases in Cuba giving them the capacity to launch and attack the U.S. with nuclear warheads. Russia also kept IL-28 bombers in Cuba. JFK implemented a quarantine of Cuba and dispatched letters to Khurshchev advising that putting missiles in Cuba would be an

Sebulius: Obamacares master of false assurance


A core competency of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is issuing false assurances. An administration about-face has left the Cabinet official looking like the Baghdad Bob of American health insurance. When Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, asked her at a hearing two weeks ago whether the administration would extend the Obamacare enrollment period beyond March 31, she responded with a crisp and direct: No, sir. To the uninitiated, that sounded like an unmistakable denial of any intention to delay the enrollment period. The uninitiated were sadly misled. The secretary subsequently referred in her testimony to a delayed enrollment period for people who were unable to enroll through no fault of their own. It turns out that the administrations definition of these frustrated would-be enrollees includes ... well, everyone. The Washington Post reports that the administration will rely on the honor system to de-

act of aggression and would precipitate U.S. action. The entire scenario was played out between the White House and the Kremlin foregoing the usual bureaucratic channels used in foreign affairs. It was a mental battle that involved posturing and flexing military muscles, as well as, negotiation skills between JFK and Khurshchev that totally depended on which would blink first and whether Russia was dedicated to war in the Western Hemisphere. The episode culminated with Russia backing down. However, it was not until there was some discussion about U.S. missiles being removed from Turkey, and of course Castro and the communists remained in control of Cuba. Several factors that evolved from the crisis included the implementation of a hotline between the White House and the Kremlin. Many of the messages and letters between the two superpowers were misunderstood and ignored. The direct phone line provided simpler and more direct communication. Another factor was that both sides began to re-think the nuclear arms race and agreed to the Test Ban Treaty. Now were in 2014 and

hearing that there is a danger of attack from foreign forces slipping into the Gulf of Mexico. The question most recently posted is whether the U.S. can defend itself from cruise missiles launched in the Gulf of Mexico. Iran recently voiced its intent to deploy warships to the U.S. maritime borders. This announcement heightens the discussion about the Middle Eastern countrys growing military capabilities. Likewise, U.S. intelligence has noted Russias increased buying of cruise missile technology, and the development of quieter nuclear submarines that could deliver cruise missiles. In a Washington Free Beacon article by Bill Gertz, the writer says two U.S. officials affirmed that an Akula class Russian submarine lingered for weeks undetected in the Gulf of Mexico. The Defense Department and Navy declined to affirm these accusations and all intelligence concerning the movement of nuclear bearing vehicles is restricted. However, U.S. Senator John Coryn has asked the Pentagons Chief of Naval Operations for a clarification. Coryn states, The incident is especially troubling considering the defense cuts sought by

President Obama which include anti-submarine defense systems. Then another factor hampering disclosure of the issue, mentioned in the article, is Presidents Obamas failure to reset relations with Russia. The gist of this issue points to the perceived weakness of foreign relation policies in the current administration, the cuts in funding to U.S. defense systems, and the growing military power of aggressive adversaries in the Middle East and Russia. So, can the U.S. defend itself on its own soil from cruise missiles? In a National Journal article, U.S. Northern Command head General Charles Jacoby says, there are significant challenges in defending the U.S. from short range cruise missiles. A 2013 military exercise with Aegis warships, combat aircraft, and Patriot interceptors highlighted these challenges. According to military experts, cruise missiles can be particularly difficult to shoot down. A National Air and Space Intelligence assessment reports that cruise missiles can fly at low altitudes staying under the radar, may hide behind terrain features, and that new technology is producing

missiles with stealth capabilities. Current defense systems are not specifically designed to ward off attacks from such missiles. However, analysts at the Center for Arms Control and Nonproliferation say that enough defense systems are available with improving technology allowing for systems to be cobbled together to provide a means of defense better than what is currently deployed. A 2013 U.S. military intelligence report indicated that cruise missiles would be available and spread to usage by more countries throughout the coming decade. The same report hinted that technology to defend against these ballistic missiles may be evaded. The crux of the matter is that as defense spending is cut and defense systems are either unavailable or unproven foreign powers move closer to capabilities that include attacking and waging war on American soil. This is a notion never before perceived by the bulk of the U.S. population. Not since 1961 and the Cold War have U.S. citizens been in such danger from foreign enemies while sitting in their home.

termine if people enrolling past the deadline are hardship cases, A few weeks ago, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which runs HealthCare.gov, told reporters we dont actually have the statutory authority to extend the open enrollment period in 2014. As if that would be an obstacle. The enrollment extension is in the same spirit as the administrations partial enactment in 2012 of the DREAM Act through executive fiat -- after

2014

President Barack Obama said in 2011 that he didnt have the authority for such a change. It is a testament to the Obama administrations audacity that it doesnt just defy the critics view of its lawful authority, it defies its own view of its lawful authority. News of the extension of the enrollment period came on the same day that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia heard arguments in Halbig v. Sebelius, a case involving arguably the most sweeping act of lawlessness in Obamacares implementation. The text of the Affordable Care Act says that only exchanges set up by the states are eligible for subsidies. Since so many states didnt set up exchanges, the Obama administration decided that enrollees on the federal exchanges can also get the subsidies. Its defense in Halbig v. Sebelius is, true to form, that the law doesnt mean what it says. Obamacare has been a long workshop in improv tragicomedy. The delays, regulatory rewritings and extensions are always an attempt simply to live for another day, to put off the political pain of cancellations, or rate hikes, or layoffs, and to get just enough traction to make the law viable. Millions have signed up for the exchanges, but its not clear that the demographic mix is right to avoid steep premium increases by insurers in 2015. So far, it looks like young people -- essential to making the economics of the exchanges work -- arent signing up in the necessary numbers. The extension is surely a ploy to squeeze every last young invincible out of the current enrollment period, and hope the news for the rates in 2015 isnt so bad. And after that? Its anybodys guess. All we know for sure is that whatever Kathleen Sebelius says today may not be operative tomorrow. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. c) 2014 by King Features Synd., Inc.

State Board approves controversial ethnic courses


scrutiny after a similarly-named course was removed by legislation in Arizona after lawmakers there discovered the course was being used for indoctrination into radical Aztlan separatism and violence. SBOE District 3 representative Marisa Perez, whose district includes Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, said that she does not view creating a course specifically for one national ethnic group to be in any way wrong, even though similar course for other ethnic groups are not under consideration. Does supporting a course like MexicanAmerican studies make you any less American? she asked. Democrat Mavis B. Knight of Dallas questioned why the only proposal was for Mexican-American students and other ethnicities were not represented. Witness Georgina Perez of El Paso presented a chart of Texas Education Agency demographics to claim that indigenous students now make up the majority of the states student population. Tuesdays public hearing included a group of college students sporting banners and signs who several times ignored the hearing rules to applaud speakers including Reginald Moore of the Texas Slave Decendants Society, who said that Santa Anna was a freedom fighter. The Mexicans were abolitionists. UH-Victoria professor Dagoberto Gilb touched The history of this region began 150 years ago with the annexation of the Southwestern United States by the U.S. following the Mexican-American War, ignoring the earlier Texas Revolution. The calls in favor of the course fell pointedly along ideological lines, with several referring to any opposition to the proposal as racist. One Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart honoree, Placido Salazar of the American GI Forum, took it a step further and claimed that Anyone who is a conservative is a racist based on his own experience being discriminated against as a younger man. Tony Diaz, an instructor at Lone Star College in Harris County, was among those promoting the original course in Arizona and on Tuesday declared that any opposition by Republicans only served to confirm gerrymandering in an attempt to deny our civil rights. Texas Education Agency Associate Commissioner of Standards and Programs Monica Martinez told the 15-member Board that if approved by the SBOE, it would still be 2-3 years before standards and instructional ma-

AUSTIN The State Board of Education approved by an 11-3 vote Wednesday to add elective course specifically for Mexican-American, African-American and other ethnic courses after dozens of speakers testifyied in favor of the course on Tuesday. SBOE member Ruben Cortez Jr. of Brownsville made the proposal and during a public hearing on Tuesday only one of more than 40 speakers stood up in opposition to the idea. Many of those testifying in favor, however, seemed unaware the Board had approved new history standards last year which vastly expanded the inclusion of Tejano and Mexican-American figures as part of the broader Texas and U.S. history studies. This is already in the curriculum, said District 4 member Ken Mercer, whose district includes Caldwell County. Those things are already delineated in the standards. The proposed course is under intense

authority to make a conract for the well, which would enable the estate to pay the taxes. English was present at the meeting and objected, saying that his attorney had received clarification from the Attorney Generals Office that such action is perfectly valid. During a brief executive session as the board conferred with its legal advisor, English made several vocal references that he felt he was being defamed and that he was considering filing criminal charges against Cedillo. This is a fishing expedition to take my property, he said. Im 20 percent Anglo, you wouldnt think things like this still happen. Theyre just trying to take my property because its on the Interstate. When directors returned from their consultation, General manager Greg Sengelmann said the company seeking the permit, JTC Energy, had met the districts criteria for SWD wells and recommended dropping the districts objection before the Texas Railroad Commission. The motion passed by a 4-1 vote, with Miller objecting. Directors voted to pursue status in contesting a SWD well permit sought by Marathon Oil in the Dreyer area. Sengelmann told the board that the well is slightly out-

side the districts jurisdiction and that Marathon had declined to construct the well in accordance with the districts guidelines. Its a little outside our area and the water in that formation is pretty brackish, he said. Legal advisor Greg Ellis told the board that to retain its standing, the district would have to show the proposed well could effect the aquifers over which the district has jurisdiction. I agree that it will be a tough fight, but not an unwinnable one, he said. We have to prove their operation could have an impact on water quality inside the district. Directors voted to have Ellis and Sengelmann pursue a standing in the contested case. Directors also voted to renew a public well for the Schertz-Seguin Local Government Corp., but declined the SSLGC request to enable the well to change the terms of its permit to enable it to continue producing two acre-feet rather than one. During public comment, local property owner Wayne LePori urge dthe board to deny the permit because SSLGC has sold some of the water it is permitted to pump for its own customers to other agencies. LePori asked the Board to delay action on renewing the permit until a review detrmines whether there is a justified need.

terials are approved for use. Individual school districts in Texas have the option to create a course on their own, if they wish. Local schools can implement this on their own if they want, Juan Tejada testified to the board. The problem is, they havent. The board was scheduled to continue discussion on the proposal on Wednesday and could take a final vote on Friday. The Arizona Legislature in 2010 passed a law closing the door on all classes that promote the overthrow of the United States government (or) resentment toward a race or a class of people. Arizona schools superintendent Tony Horne told a news network in a May 5, 2010 interview that the MexicanAmerican Studies course in particular had strayed far from its objectives. Specifically ask about that, because they say in the borders that we have are artificial and that the southwest United States should be taken back by Mexico, Horne told Fox News personality Sean Hannity. ... they call it Aztlan is the area that they say is these states that Ive mentioned Arizona, California, New Mexico and some other states that are really northern Mexico that was conquered by the United States and they should be given back.

civic and busines organizations and news media represented. The Warriors Weekend is an annual event bringing wounded service members to the Victoria and Port OConnor area for a weekend of fun and fishing. Its ana amazing thing because of the lives we touch, said Warriors Weekend president Ron Kocian. There are a lot of organizations that do things like this, but nobody does it on the scale we do. Well have probably about 800 service members total out on 400 boats. Kocian said the weekend is about a whole lot more than fishing. They need to know they havent been forgotten, he said. Some of them, this is the first time theyve been out since they were wounded. When theyre on this trip, theyre treated like a rock star, and thats what you people do. Last years parade attracted several thou-

sand Gonzales area residents to cheer the buses and their escorts as they traveled through town. This year, Ken Hedrick and the Gonzales Young Farmers will provide a down-home barbecue lunch. One request made by many of the Warriors is home-made desserts, and Gonzales turned on the sweet tooth last year. If you would like to volunteer to furnish some home-made dessert, contact the Gonzales Chamber of Commerce at 830-672-6532. Gonzales Elementarys fourth-grade massed choir will also be out in force to serenade the Warriors with patriotic and Texas Heritage songs. The Gonzales Cannon will again publish a special pull-out commemorative to celebrate the Warriors visit and invite them back to enjoy and explore our historic town. Kocian said this years weekend will include a job fair for employers looking to hire honored veterans. For details on the full schedule of events for Warriors Weekend, visit www.warriorsweekend.org.

This time of year I spend at least part of every Saturday in the garden. As I do so I am constantly looking for examples and illustrations of the Christian life. A week or so ago I was on my knees working my way between the rows of corn, carefully pulling out weeds. Not the most pleasant or exciting job, but necessary before they get out of control. I then began to ask myself if I were as concerned about rooting sin out of my own heart. Just as I must be on my knees pulling out weeds, so it is necessary to bow in prayer and confess and repent of sin. Sin must be rooted out, or in the language of the Bible, it must be put to death. (Romans 8:13) Christians are not without sin. While conversion to Christ forgives the penalty of sin and breaks the power and bondage of sin, we still struggle with the presence of remaining sin. In fact the Bible says, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (I John 1:8) Paul described his own struggle with remaining sin in this way, For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice, but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the

law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. (Romans 7:15-21) I realize that those verses sound almost like a riddle. However, it is Pauls way of describing the ongoing battle against sin. Often knowing what is right and wanting desperately to do what is right and pleasing to God, but still at times yielding to sin. As the book of Galatians says, For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary one to another, so that you cannot do the

things that you wish. (Galatians 5:17) I want to spend the rest of this article pointing out how we can grow in overcoming sin 1. Be honest. God sees and knows all. He that covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13) Do not make excuses and do not simply call sin a weakness or a problem. Face it as sin. 2. Do not blame others. This is seen as far back as Genesis 3. Adam blamed Eve for his sin. Eve then went on to blame the serpent. Dont pass the buck. I cant blame the grocery store for the fact that I eat too much. 3. Do not delay. The very moment the Spirit of God convicts and convinces you, confess and repent before God. Sin is destructive and only leads to more sin and its certain consequences. If I put off weeding my garden, I only get more weeds. 4. Be sure to go down deep. Remember that sin is a matter of the heart. If I am struggling with gossip or lying, I do not simply have a problem with my tongue. My heart is defiled and I need cleansing. After a long list of horrible sins, Christ said this, All these evil things come from within and defile a man. (Mark

7:23) It will do little good for me to simply break weeds off at ground level. I must go below the surface and get the root. 5. Be aggressive. Jesus said, If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; and again, If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast if from you. (Matthew 5:29-30) Of course we are not to literally pluck out an eye or cut off a hand. However, we are meant to see the serious nature of sin. Sin must not be coddled or allowed to go uncontested. 6. Yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. (Romans 8:13) Many years ago the Puritan leader John Owen wrote, Be killing sin, or it will be killing you. 7. Make sure you are daily being nourished by Gods word. Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. (Psalm 119:11) Join me in the battle against sin. Also join me in looking forward to that day when sin will be no more.

Education
Dear Gonzales ISD School and Community Family, What an exciting and active time of year! The students are busy with end of year activities and academics. This is the time of assessment for all districts in Texas. Our students have begun taking State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) exams and End of Course (EOC) is underway in all content areas. These exams are a part of the accountability system of the State of Texas for public schools. Schools use results for examining performance and acceleration in academics. Additionally the performance on the state exams is important in sequential preparation to meet mandated graduation requirements. The last months of school are also full of spirited competitions. Our high school theatre arts department excelled at One Act Play competition this week. Their performance, Quiet in the Land, was outstanding and not only told a complex story but also centered on the Amish culture and so was a study in social studies and other ways of life. At the same time, we have two athletes who recently competed at state in power lifting competition. For the girls Erica Hernandez earned a sixth place medal at state power lifting and Jaime Tellez scored seventh for the boys team. Our tennis team has moved forward

Dr. Kimberly Strozier is superintendent of Gonzales ISD.

GONZALES April 7, 2014 Four local high school students will be packing their bags for a weeklong, allexpense paid trip to Washington, D.C. this June as winners of the 2014 Youth Tour sponsored by the Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative (GVEC). This years winners submitted a photo essay about their community and why it makes their heart swell with pride. The winners of the GVEC Youth Tour photo essay contest are: Cameron Ahrens, John Paul II Catholic High School Kelly Poore, La Vernia High School Cameron Bargfrede, Seguin High School Karlee Krum, Gonzales High School These students did an excellent job of seeking out what makes their community special and expressing how the people and places within have molded them into productive young men and women, says Tammy Thompson, GVEC Corporate Communications and Public Relations Manager. The hard work and dedication exhibited by this group of students shows they are deserving of this trip and will represent GVEC well in Washington, D.C.

GVEC Youth Tour winners announced

this summer. The trip to D.C. is part of the national Electric Cooperative Youth Tour hosted each year by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). Sponsored by GVEC, its proven to be a life-changing experience by giving local students the opportunity to meet other students from cooperatives around the nation and allowing them to learn first-hand about our countrys heritage, the important role electric cooperatives play in the community, and how our federal government works. While on the Youth Tour, the winning students will meet their Texas House Representatives and Senators during a visit to Capitol Hill, as well as visit our nations exciting museums, memorable landmarks and breathtaking memorials. GVEC is an electric cooperative that serves over 73,000 consumers across 13 Texas counties. The service area spans 3,500 square miles across South Central Texas.

Gonzales Elementary students send message to bullies


Mrs. Sara Breitschopf, along with Pamela Hamilton, have been working all year with Gonzales Elementary students in the Stop Bullying Club. Students have participated in numerous exciting lessons, fun plays, and one very exciting Send a Message activity. Students are learning how and when to stand up for themselves and others. Gonzales Elementary students want to send the message on this Child Abuse Prevention Week that it is never acceptable to harm or bully a child. A big thank you goes to Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Breitschopf for their tireless dedication to all children!

winning first place singles. They are regional qualifiers at district in Corpus Christi. Great job! New legislation has had a positive impact on curriculum. Our students now have focused endorsements or pathways of study opportunities as they plan for their future. The endorsements are in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Business and Industry, Arts and Humanities, Public Service, and Multi-Disciplinary studies. Gonzales ISD is fortunate to be able to offer all five endorsement areas. Our counselors will be meeting soon with eightgrade students to introduce the areas of endorsements. The students have completed a career interest inventory. Counselors will explain the endorsement areas and with the career interest inventory results discuss options for students in their area of interest for a pathway of coursework in high school that will eventually earn them an endorsement at graduation and also help prepare them more intensely for their interest in a future career. Parents will receive an invitation to attend an informational session and to assist in the endorsement area of their individual students choice. We are so fortunate to have so much opportunity for electives, vocational coursework and depth of study in varied areas at Gonzales High School. Additionally, GISD has applied to implement the National Navy Defense Corp of Cadets (NNDCC). The NNDCC is similar to the NJROTC

programs of the past. With budget cuts to our military programs, the JROTC programs are on hold until further funding; however, the NNDCC is still able to provide curricular resources and opportunities for students. Our goal is to begin a program in which students participating not only receive training from the Navy department in citizenship and leadership, but are offered additional coursework such as Naval History and Oceanography. We anticipate hearing from the Navy soon and are looking forward implementing this great program. As we move forward in ending this school year, we plan for the next. Along with these opportunities we are always working to improve our services in all areas of the district. You will receive information soon on new arrangements to busing structures for children riding buses. These new standards will require designated drop off locations that are set for the year, either at home, with a babysitter/daycare or at grandparents home. Additionally, you will note an hour of deadline to making last minute changes. Of course, we will work through emergency changes individually; however, requiring consistency only provides for improved safety and security of your children. Look forward to a note home soon regarding these implementations beginning with the next school year. We are so proud of our students and our district! Graduation is right around the corner and scheduled for May 30th. It will be here before we know it so we continue to make the best of each and every day that we have together in GISD. We will continue to work to provide the best for your students and look forward to great things throughout our district as we work toward future needs. Warm regards, Kimberly Strozier, EdD

LULING Prior to Hallettsvilles road game at Luling Thursday, Brahmas head coach Calvin Cook sat down with his defending 2A state champions and told them it was an important game. The No. 5 Brahmas paid attention and got past Luling 12-2 at Eagle Field to remain unbeaten in 282A play. I felt our boys locked in to how important this game and they treated as such, he said. The Brahmas led 7-0 after three innings, had committed no errors and held the Eagles to just one hit, and just a couple of baserunners. Hallettsville scored twice in the fourth inning and added three in the top of the sixth.

shutout. They committed two errors, walked a batter and gave up a double, allowing the Eagles to bring in two runs. We lost our focus, relaxed a little and Luling was able to capitalize because they are a quality team, Cook said. First-year Eagle head coach Brad Manning said Luling has done well most of the season but needs to be consistent. We have been a good team this year in flashes, he said. A couple of weeks ago, Luling scored a hard fought win in district over the Schulenburg Shorthorns, who were ranked No. 15 in 2A at the time. Schulenburg was ranked but we got the job done, Manning said. We need to respond to adversity. Hallettsville is a good team and it was good experience for us to play them. We showed INTACT, Page B2

Shiner wins defensive dual


By MARK LUBE
sportseditor@gonzalescannon.com

SHINER It was a story of solid defense and pitching on both sides in the Shiner-Flatonia game on Friday night at Green Dickerson Park. Shiner was able to get a little more offense and came away with a 2-0 pitchers- dual victory against their rivals to the north. That was a very gutsy performance by (starting pitcher) Jacob Stafford, Shiner head coach Daniel Boedeker said. He made some big pitches and got a strikeout at times when we had two outs. Shiner scattered five hits and got some walks, including two intentional walks on Stafford We were able to get base runners, he said. Flatonias pitcher (Marcus Mica) pitched well and got out of some jams, and their defense behind him was solid. The Comanches had as many errors as hits. Boedeker said it was due to a litte impatience in trying to make the play. Stafford tossed a one hitter against the Dogs. We really struggled at the plate, Flatonia head coach Shawn Bruns said.

It was the second straight game we wasted a great pitching effort by Marcus because we did not support his and the rest of the defenses work by scoring some runs. Until we learn to connect better with bat, all of our remaining games are going to be tough. At the start of the game, Flatonias Easton Migl had a ball that was mishandled by Shiner. He was later caught stealing and Stafford got two strikeouts in the inning as well. For the Comanches, Tyler Patek got a leadoff single, Ty Boedeker reached on the error and Flatonia made up with two straight outs on fly balls. Flatonia elected to intentionally walk Stafford, which loaded the bases. Dillon Kalina earned base on balls to score Patek for the 1-0 Shiner lead. In the second inning, it was three up and three down for both sides. In the top of the third, Kaddin Mikulik reached base on a two-out error and moved to second on the hit by Casen Novak, the only one in the game for Flatonia. Migl reached on another error to load the bases before Stafford fanned

Mica for the last out. With two outs in the bottom of the inning, Ty Condel got a hit and Stafford got another intentional walk. Mica struck out Kalina to prevent any further threat. In the bottom of the fourth, second baseman Mikulik made the first of several good defensive plays as he tossed to first baseman Migl for an out and Mica fanned Murrile. Shiner added the second run in the fifth inning Blake Michalec got a leadoff single but was thrown out at second on the fielders choice on Condels at bat. Stafford singled to left and two batters later, Condel scored on the hit by Cerny. In the top of the seventh, Gus Venegas reached on an error before Shiner quickly refocused, and nabbed a flyball followed by striking out two straight batters.

Yoakums Blakeney signs with Wharton JC


YOAKUM Bulldog senior baseball player Timmy Blakeney will be continuing his playing days after high school. Blakeney signed a letter of intent to compete for Wharton Junior College on Wednesday at the Yoakum athletic field house. I am happy about signing with Wharton JC, Blakeney said. I am excited. We contacted the head coach (Keith Case), and he came and watched me play. He liked what he saw. Blakeney said the small size of the campus made an impression on him. I liked the campus and feel they have a good baseball program, he said.I will enjoy playing for them. Blakeney said he hopes to put himself in a position where he can be part of the starting lineup. He hopes to continue his collegiate baseball career at a larger school after finishing at Wharton JC. Blakeney said he wants to pursue a degree in kinesiology and become a coach after college. He will miss the smalltown togetherness of Yoakum. I will miss being a small community where everyone knows each other,

Bluebonnets and Easter services


I was so glad that Don and Joann Leifeste got to show their kids, Carol and David, the beautiful array of Texas Bluebonnets while they were here over the weekend. These people have a wonderful plan of action. One child comes in from one direction, Atlanta, and one child comes in from the other direction, Tulsa, leaving the respective spouses at home to hold down the fort. You know right after they left, the sky parted over here and the thunder rolled, the lightning shot across the sky, and a few rain drops managed to fall out of the sky, and then it took off at a high rate of speed to the South and that is all we got out of that commotion. You would have thought Henny Penny was letting the sky fall and maybe we were going to really get some rain. Absolutely disgusting Henny Penny. I think we are going to have to call on Humpty Dumpty. Come Easter he is going to be all cracked up anyway. There are Lenten services being held in Gonzales one more time this Wednesday and this next Sunday, April 13th, is Palm Sunday. For Monthalia United Methodist Church on April 18th, the Good Friday service starts at 7PM. Easter Sunday at Monthalia United Methodist Church- It starts out with

a Easter Sunrise service at 7AM. Then comes breakfast in the Monthalia Parish Hall. At around 8:30AM you need to regroup and go to the sanctuary by 9AM to attend the Easter Service. Then after this service is over Pastor Paul cuts out with a trot to Belmont to hold their Easter Service. Monthalia will shoo the children and adults who try to be children out with their pretty Easter Baskets to hunt eggs. Now Belmont has an EASTER EGG HUNT on the Saturday, April 19th, at 10AM, before Easter at the Belmont Community Center. This is a fun thing that I remember from my own childhood. Everyone got included in on this******* Mothers and Fathers, sisters and brothers, dogs and cats, and best of all, Grandpas and Grandmas. I know I am giving away how old I am and at this point there are a bunch of us around here just glad to be alive and still operational, though a little creaky. Another thing that is funny is that I always remember an old hound dog or stray cat showing up from somewhere trying to get a bite to eat from a sandwich or cookie. Now round up your grandkids or your neighbors/friends kids. EASTER SUNDAY CHURCH at Belmont United Methodist Church starts at 10:30AM on Easter Sunday at our little white church by the side of

We hope that you have been saving your rummage for us. We will be open April 23, April 24, and April 25th FROM 10AM TO 2PM. It is always exciting to me to see what is someone elses rummage is someone elses treasure especially after they have lost about twenty-five pounds or so or just plain maybe decided they cant stand it anymore. I bought this beautiful olive green top with beads and puffy sleeves, and it fit perfect and washed well. You know I just about threw that blouse on the floor and stomped on it. When I put that blouse on, I looked like I was dead and I have enough trouble looking like I am alive in the first place. So we hope that you have saved you GOOD rummage, decided to bake your best recipes for our bake sale, and everyone come and buy it all up. Now Leesville is not to be outdone.
