SEGUIN GuadalupeBlanco River Authority (GBRA) officials on Thursday announced Stage III restrictions for its Hydroelectric Lakes to go into effect immediately for diversions and use of water from the hydroelectric lakes in Comal, Guadalupe and Gonzales counties. Restrictions will affect lawn watering, outdoor fountain use, vehicle washing and other areas.

According to the river authoritys Drought Contingency Plan, Stage III applies on any day following a day when the average 24-hour spring flow rate from the Comal Springs, when measured at the Comal River, is at or below 150 cubic feet per second (cfs), but greater than 100 cfs. As of August 14, 2013, Comal Springs flow rate was 137 cfs, thus triggering Stage III restrictions. Critical period stages apply to any diverter of water GBRA, Page A5

Inside This Week:

Its the end of an era in Gonzales and, perhaps, the start of another in Shiner. But its also the renewal of a long-term working friendship. Egon Barthels, program director for Gonzales radio station KCTI 1450AM, will be moving to Texas Thunder Radio, KYKM, in Shiner, as that station upgrades to a new, more powerful broadcast. Barthels is scheduled to take the 3-7 p.m. afternoon/evening shift for Texas Thunder, which will combine its two current lowerpower broadcasts on 92.5 and 99.9 into a single 6000-watt transmitter using the 94.3 frequency. Its hard to believe I started here just five

years ago, Barthels said Tuesday, reflecting on his five years with KCTI. I guess the thing Ill appreciate the most is the fact that we have an impact on the audience here. Sitting on this side of the broadcast, you dont always get to see that, but Ive had a chance to get out in the community and you really get to see it. Barthels said he will remain involved in activities and organizations in Gonzales County. I was packing some things the other day and I ran across some letters people had written to the station thanking us for being so supportive of the community, he said. I think weve been able to do that, to reconnect the community, getting out in the city and working with organizations like BARTHELS, Page A5

The excavation, which is being headed by Dr. Stripling, is on-going, with on-site excavations taking place twice a year. The site has revealed relics of much historical interest from the Early Bronze Age up to, and including, the Byzantine Age. The Museum

On Aug. 19, 16 members of the Saturn Friendship Club met at Running M Bar & Grill on the Square in Gonzales. The restaurant occupies the historical old building that had for many years been the home of Boothe & Lewis Hardware. The ladies had come to share a tasty noon meal and enjoy some camaraderie. Two greeting cards were circulated so that everyone could write a brief, cherry message to Pat Werlein, who was injured in a recent fall, and to longtime member Frances Griggs, who has moved out of state. Nancy Littlefield offered a prayer prior to the meal being served. Since each lady ordered a la carte, it was interesting to compare choices when they were on the table. Although different, each plate of food looked delicious and inviting. When the meal was com-

pleted, the August Birthday Ladies, Vivian Benton, Sandy Parr, Nancy Littlefield, Betty Britsch, and Jo Brunner were honored with the Birthday Song and a yummy Butter Cream birthday cake was served. Warm birthday wishes were expressed for retired member Virgie Brown, who resides at The Heights and was not able to join the group. All the food had been top notch, the conversation lively and no one really wanted to end the meeting but it was a restaurant and the space we occupied was needed. Reluctantly we made our exit looking forward to the next meeting, which will be on September 16 at the Cistern Schoolhouse at 1 p.m. with Della Mae Urban and Libby Hopkins serving as hostesses. If you will allow me a personal note, I will add that as I sat with my friends and looked around the old building that has been redecorated for its new role in the business community, I

could not help but remember how many times in years gone by I had stopped to look at the interesting items displayed in the big front window of Boothe & Lewis Hardware Store before pushing those big glass doors open and seeing Mr. Charles Chenault coming to greet me with a smile. I had come to get staples, nails, rope or chain for my husband or for a needed household item, some pretty dishes or perhaps to pick out a gift for a shower or a wedding. Usually, I left the store with what I had come to purchase but not before receiving a friendly wave from one or both of the Tate sisters in the office. I am pleased to know that the old building that had served the community so well through the years is once more being put to good use. It is again satisfying the needs of Gonzales citizens and visitors and putting smiles on their faces as it does.

LOCKHART Caldwell County Sheriff Daniel Law announced that on Aug. 10, a deputy was dispatched to 1204 Reed Drive in Lockhart for an individual who was believed to be using false identification to visit an inmate at the Caldwell County Jail. Upon arrival the deputy met with jail personnel who advised him of a subject, identified as 39-year old Melissa Lee Garcia, producing a Temporary Texas Paper License which later was found to have been tampered with and was not issued to Garcia. In the course of the investigation the deputy also met with a subject later identified as 21-year old Aleah Dawn Freitag, who had arrived with Garcia

From the mountains of Italy to Shiner: the Ray Seale Story

Ray Seale is 92 years old and was born in Giddings, the son of a rancher and mail carrier. He attended, and then later finished Texas A&M under the G.I. Bill. He was 20 when Pearl Harbor was attacked, and volunteered (Army) at age 21. Ray trained at Fort Sam and in Georgia among others, and was then selected to train others. Finally he was sent by troop ship to Naples, Italy. A country boy, he spent most of shipboard time in the fresh air because it was so ugly (seasick) down below. Ray would G.I. medics and litter bearers. They soon had him transported down the mountain and safely to a field hospital. Rays wounds were such that the shooting war would be over for him. He left Italy out of Livorno, by military air, then after two more stops landed on Long Island, NY. Heading west, he eventually convalesced in Palm Springs and then San Antonios Fort Sam Houston. He wore casts that finally were removed after more than seven months, and was discharged in 1946. Back at A&M, Ray completed his curriculum in vocational agriculture and was hired by Shiner High School. That is when he met his wife Dorothy, and between them they raised two children. Ray remembers when football began (1950) in Shiner and he became sort of

and she too was found to have used a false ID to visit the same inmate. An investigation led to the arrest of both parties for the offense of Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information. Deputys investigation further led to finding two different controlled substances in Garcias purse and she also was charged for two different offenses of Possession of a Controlled Substance. Garcia was magistrated by Judge Matt Keily who set a bond of $10,000 for the offense of Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information, $20,000 for the offense of Possession of a Controlled Sub-

stance PG3 and $15,000 for the Offense of a Controlled Substance PG1. Freitag was also magistrated by Judge Keily who set a Bond of $10,000 for the offense of Fraudulent Use or Possession of Iden-

tifying Information. The investigation is ongoing. To report illegal activity in your neighborhood, contact the Caldwell County Sheriff s Office at 512398-6777.

a sports phenomenon by serving on the chain gang (1st and 10) for the next 34 years. He retired from teaching in 1980, but still follows competitive sports in the area, especially football. Having walked the aisle and being saved in the Giddings Baptist Church at 12, Ray wanted to serve his Lord and share the gospel so he began volunteering on missions to Old Mexico and Belize. Looking back he fondly remembers his tour of duty at Shiner High and even later made some substitute teaching sorties there. It seems as though almost all students today perceive substitute teachers as prey (fair game) but at Shiner High it has always been a respectful student body that welcomes him, for which Ray has been very pleased. But then Shiner has always been a very good place to live and to raise a family so maybe we shouldnt be surprised at the perceived civility of most Shiner students.

A three-pound bully finally meets his feline match

Wish I had a dog, seen her in the park with a puppy on a string Looking so cute maybe sooner or later wed meet Norma Jean Rileys gonna talk to me from Normal Jean Riley by Diamond Rio In the first few weeks following our loss of Itty Bit, I determined that it was high time to begin acclimatizing my newest chihuahua, Chesty Puller, to people. Chestys training continues to move along at a pace only slightly faster than the Texas Legislature. Itty Bit loved people, and people loved her. I dont recall she ever once barked in anger at a human being, although she did try to lick a few to death. But as she aged, an unrepairable hernia and a tumor made her less and less mobile, and for most of the time she was with me here in Gonzales she rarely went outdoors. I figured we could change that with Chesty, and make him my regular running buddy at least long enough to do his job and

get me surrounded by beautiful women. Being a toy-sized chihuahua barely out of puppyhood, Chesty is of course naturally cuter than a bug but having spent those first two formative years indoors with Itty Bit, he didnt get many chances to meet people and perfect his attract-women-for-Daddy act. In short, hes meaner than a snake. Hes a three-pound bully. I began by bringing him to the office every now and then, since his favorite position in the world is curling up behind me in my computer chair. What harm could come from that? Chesty does not like our sports

editor, Mark Lube. At all. Maybe its the soccer jerseys. Mark has been exceedingly nice to my little monster, but the second Mark turns to walk away, Chesty goes on the attack. Ditto with my other co-workers: he at best tolerates Cedric and Sanya, but he considers Dorothy and Debbie to be chew-toys. Ive taken to carrying him with me on my regular Thursday run around the region delivering The Cannon to newsstands in Luling, Harwood, Waelder, Flatonia, Moulton, Shiner and Yoakum. I figure getting out would help get him used to seeing other human beings and get over this urge to try tearing out peoples Achilles tendons. My apologies to the gentleman in Luling who saw Chesty in the passengers window and extended his hand in friendship. Fortunately, the gentleman was able to retrieve his hand before any fingers were lost. Ive got a chihuahua, too, he noted good-naturedly. Theyre very protective. Then there was the poor man

in Waelder, taking his lunch break from the meat-packing plant and getting ready to go into the Crossvine Market for a quick barbecue sandwich. Chesty waited until the guy was right beside the car, then leaped up into the window and barked so fiercely the man literally crashed into the nearby wall of the store. I thought Id finally gotten him headed the right direction the other day when I stopped to drop papers off at the H-E-B in Yoakum. A trio of young cuties saw Chestys adorable face and wandered over to the car to gush baby-talk at him. Finally, I breathed a sigh of relief as I started returning to the car to see Chestys new fan club. These were way too young for me, but at least he was finally on the right track, I figured. He waited until the girls tapped on the window to get his attention and then all you saw was teeth. The girls shrieked and probably didnt stop running until they reached Cuero. I think perhaps part of his problem is that Chesty is so small, he fig-

ures he just has to be meaner than everyone else and anyone who backs away from him is fair game for bullying. But like most bullies, Chesty had to face harsh reality when he ran into someone who wasnt about to back down. As we returned to the apartment following last weeks paper run, Chesty hopped out of the car and immediately spotted this big gray cat which has taken up residence. This cat has to weigh about 25 pounds, and was soaking up some rays on a chair next to someones barbecue pit. Chesty charged ... but stopped dead-cold about two feet from the cat. The cat raised one eyelid, then slowly extended one paw, revealing an array of slashing weapons half the length of Chestys body. Beset by an enemy who outweighed him better than 8-1 and was far better-armed ... Chesty backed up very slowly and took up position behind me, creeping along with his tail between his legs as I played human shield while we passed Mr. Kitty.

A new battle of the Alamo

Texans should be aware that San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro may have started a new battle of the Alamo. He has made some initial moves to allow the United Nations to influence and even manage the Alamo. Mayor Castro and his close ally, City Councilman Diego Bernal, have been meeting with U.S. Department of Interior officials about the future of San Antonios historical missions. Castro wants to make the missions a greater tourist attraction by designating them national and world cultural treasures. But there is the catch in designating the Alamo and the other missions world cultural heritage sites. Castro and Bernal want the United Nations UNESCO or United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to do the designation. The UNESCO is a specialized agency of the UN whose purpose is to contribute to peace and security by promoting international collaboration through education, science, and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, the rule of law, and human rights along with fundamental freedom proclaimed in the UN Charter. According to their charter, UNESCOs aim is to contribute to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information. It is ironic that while many Texans across the state are fighting the UNs Agenda 21

with its action plans for sustainable development and eminent domain, the very symbol of Texas liberty and freedom, the Alamo, may fall under UN influence. Castro wants to UNESCOs World Heritage Committee to help manage the Alamo. The World Heritage Committee has a list of recognized sites that are managed through legal agreements regarding cultural heritage for protecting diversity. Quite simply, the Alamo would be managed under these agreements with the UN. The influence of the UN has already been felt on one local issue. There was a proposed hotel tower for the old Joskes building near the Alamo. But because it could have jeopardized the World Heritage Site status for the Alamo and the other four missions, the proposed hotel tower was nixed. The U.S. National Park Service, which plays a key role in nominating U.S. sites, warned Castro that such a skyscraper so close to the Alamo could be a deal breaker. Apparently, the UNs World Heritage Sites had threatened to yank the status because of the potential for new development. Thus, the UN influenced a local issue and decision. Castro is liberal who believes in a global society, and apparently he sees no problem with the UN influencing or even managing the Alamo. However, the Cradle of Texas Liberty is a symbol of Texas independence and freedom, and we should not let it fall under influenced or management of any foreign interest. Texans should recognize that if Castro is willing to let the Alamo fall into the UNs grasp, what will he do if he becomes Texas governor, senator, or (as many have said) president of the United States? Remember the Alamo!

Being owner of a music joint doesnt make you a musician

Somebody just gave me a shower radio. Thanks a lot. Do you really want music in the shower? I guess theres no better place to dance than a slick surface next to a glass door. Jerry Seinfeld Once upon a time in the early 19 and 70s I was a silent partner in a country and western beerjoint. Located in San Marcos. On Cheatham Street. Housed in an old warehouse. My partner, Kent Finlay, and I collectively got our minds fairly fertile one night on Pearl beer and named the place Cheatham Street Warehouse. In our advertising we boasted that the rustic building was sorta like a country club with indoor toilets. Establishments for thirst that featured live bands similar to Cheatham Street Warehouse cropped up quite frequently during that era in your college communities. A drinking age of 18 at the time had a lot to do with it. When I shared co-owner duties there, while working days as a newspaper person, I was in my early 30s. Back when I was still on solid foods and could stay up past 9 oclock. One afternoon I had settled in as comfortable as a rooster by perching myself up on a barstool. Bending my elbow and dampening my brain by drinking all the Pearl that I couldnt sell. Thats when I was accosted and accused of being guilty by association. Heres the story as I recall it: A young lady of 20 or so in polyester pants and halter top, fashionable for the Seventies, sidled up beside me and said, I want you to teach me how to play the piano. As she addressed me in the matter of instructing her to tickle the ivories I gave her a look like she owed me money. Now let me assure one and all that I am not musically inclined. Cause I cant chord a guitar or carry a tune in the toilet while showering. Even relinquishing a crisp dollar for the jukebox taxes my biorhythm chart. Anyway, I informed the gal that I was not a musician and she sure enough was asking the wrong person to tutor her in the art of pounding down on a piano. Why, this young thang, with a Lone Star longneck in her hand, got as mad as a

wet hen. She parried back, Youre a partowner here, aint you? I allowed I was. Then you can give me some music lessons! she declared. With subtle tack I shot back, Look, lady, I dont know an E Flat from a B Sharp so how the heck do you expect me to teach you to play the piano? She reasoned that since my partner, Kent Finlay, fronted a band that played several nights week at Cheatham Street (thats short for Cheatham Street Warehouse), it was just natural that his partner, namely me, was a musician as well. Bout this time Kent, his ownself, moseyed in and retrieved a Pearl from the beer crisper to quench his thirst. The gal made a beeline and confronted him, Kent, Jim over there claims he doesnt know anything about music. Is that right? Kent glanced over at me and with grinning eyes, told the aspiring musician, Thats right. He aint no musicmaker. That seemed to satisfy her. Briefly. Cause you could almost see the light bulb above her head flick on as she addressed Kent. Thats okay. Ill let you teach me to play. When do we start? Thats when my eyes got to gleaming and I made a hasty retreat in the direction of the door. So I wasnt tuned in to whatever tempo their conversation later took. Sometimes it pays to be tone deaf. And be a silent partner. Oh, and by the way. Why was the piano invented? So the musician would have a place to put his beer. Catch you down the road, perhaps at another roadside attraction that boasts neon and a jukebox.

This is the second edited transcript of an interview with Republican candidate for Texas Agriculture Commissioner Eric Opiela heard on KULM 98.3 fm. During the first interview we learned that Opiela is a former Executive Director of the Republican Party of Texas, a fifth generation Texan managing a family ranch in South Texas, a water attorney, believes that even-handed commerce with Mexico may ease the illegal immigration problem, understands the significance of oil and gas exploration and production in Texas, and understands dealing with the Endangered Species Act. Brune: There is a faction in the Texas GOP that is anti-Joe Straus, meaning that they have exception with our state representatives electing Straus as the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives. This is difficult to understand. Most folks have a hard enough time understanding the issues. We dont worry ourselves with the speakership until someone shines a light on a problem. Most Texans trust their representatives to select a speaker. However, one of the most despicable stories Ive recently read was written by conservatives and contained anti-Straus rhetoric that had nothing to do with policy. It had nothing to do with Straus. It was damning candidates for not being anti-Straus and attacked candidates personally I found that to be reprehensible coming from conservatives.

Rural Texans may depend on urban voters

Looking Down from the Saddle
Herman Brune
ting news for the overreaching of some of their agencies such as the Fish and Wildlife Service and The Army Corps of Engineers in regards to the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. This impacts rural Texas and in turn impacts all Texans. An intrusive government hurts all business both urban and rural. But thats not all. State agencies and ever-growing local governments that implement land usage restrictions infringe upon Fifth Amendment rights. Our rights say government cant take property for private business use without just compensation. But one of the ways government gets around this is through regulatory takings. They destroy all effective use of property and take that property without actually condemning the property. That is something Ive always fought against and will continue to fight against. I worked at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims that handles regulatory takings and cases against the federal government. And for my first five years of practicing law I protected landowners in these cases. Thats how I knew to run for Texas Ag Commissioner. This is the only office that serves as an advocate for landowners. Brune: What did you see coming out of this last session that will benefit landowners? Opiela: We are facing some challenges. I chaired the Eminent Domain Committee of the South Texas Property Rights Association. We worked closely with Farm Bureau and other groups to fight against a bill that allowed pipeline companies to move the eminent domain decisions to a state office of Administrative Hearings or the Texas Railroad Commission, in Austin, versus at your local county court. We fought that bill off twice and it will be back next session. Weve also had challenges regarding roads. We went into a third special session about transportation funding and I was disappointed that an amendment failed that would have stopped some rural paved roads from being converted to gravel. This is the first time roads have gone from paved to gravel in our state. There has been some progress on water. But there was also some disappointment because we lost our rural representation on the Texas Water Development Board. The board will now consist of three directors none of which must be from rural Texas. The Texas Ag Commissioner must stand up for agriculture needs and rural Texas water rights. Eighty percent of rural Texas groundwater use is for agriculture. We must keep agriculture a viable profession and water is the key. Of the funding that will be voted on next November, only 10 percent of those funds are for rural water projects. That troubles me. Also, the in-stream flow issue is getting federal notice and we dont want our river systems federalized. Brune: Its unusual particularly thinking about the agriculture commissioner, but the reality to a statewide political campaign is that much of your campaigning must be spent in urban areas.

GBRA: Stage III drought BARTHELS: Texas Thunder move a homecoming of sorts restrictions now in place
Continued from page A1

Opiela: Im running for Texas Agriculture Commissioner. I leave the selection of the speakership up to the members of the house. Ive worked closely with the speaker, as well as, leadership in the senate. I think its important to have good relationships with leadership because thats how we get things done. The house passed the best pro-life legislation in decades. It passed the Voter-ID Bill and a host of legislation that will benefit Texans. Its necessary for the Ag Commissioner to have a close working relationship with the legislature to accomplish future goals for farmers and ranchers. And Im proud to say that the close relationship Ive had with the legislature in the past will allow us to continue advocating and passing good policies into the future. Brune: Your brochure lists talking points including protecting farmers and ranchers from an intrusive government. Are you talking about the federal government? Opiela: Im talking about at all levels. Obviously, the federal government is get-

MURDER: Man identified as suspect in San Antonio crime

Continued from page A1

Opiela: Thats true. The growth in urban Texas is mind-boggling. Six million new individuals moved into five of our urban counties. There are 210 rural counties with less than 50,000 people apiece, and we constitute less than 29.7 percent of the vote. So, it is fortunate that we have a statewide office dedicated to promoting and protecting rural Texas. But it is significant to emphasize the importance of this office to urban Texans. We share the same concerns protecting private property rights and water needs. But out of the 1.1 million people that vote in the GOP primary, in 2010, 470,000 voters left that office choice blank. So we have a challenge letting urban Texans know were going to stick up for private property rights, water needs, and the way of life that Texans enjoy.

chain attached to his belt, but no wallet. Links from the chain were found on a nearby sidewalk. KSAT reported that an arrest warrant affidavit stated that a woman came forward and told San Antonio police that Smith had confided in her, saying that he encountered Cantu at the complex early on the morning of July 28, when he went there to steal a car. In her affadavit, the woman said Smith told her Cantu began following him, then reached into his pocket, so he shot him. Smith told her he

went through Cantus pockets after the shooting and took his wallet and cell phone, the affidavit stated. Another woman notified Bexar County sheriffs deputies that Smith was at her home smoking marijuana, then told them he was wanted for murder, the affidavit stated. Smith initially was taken into custody on the drug charge, then arrested Thursday on a charge of murder. A Gonzales native, Cantu played guitar in some area bands and it was common for him to come home late in the evening, family members said. He had been living in the San Antonio area about three years.

Main Street. It was great to be closing down some of the concerts and to hear people saying, That was a great show! He said that role of being a part of the community led to some unusual situations over the years such as covering the Bastrop Complex Fires from New Mexico. Barthels had taken a few days off to arrange his late fathers estate when the fires broke out, and through the magic of long-distance phone and internet communications and The Gonzales Cannons hour-by-hour coverage of the emergency on its website and Facebook, Barthels was able to continue to broadcast updates to listeners in Gonzales and surrounding counties without ever being here. The thing I always loved about KCTI was that it proved there is a place for smallmarket radio, he said. With things like ITunes, IPOD, satellite radio you dont need a big population to reach a lot of people. The move to Texas Thunder will be a homecoming of sorts for Barthels and a reunion with station owners Travis and Laurie Kremling, who bought the station in May 2008 and recently moved it from its original location in Hallettsville to the Green Building in Shiner. He began his career in Hallettsville before spending time in other markets across South Texas and

winding up in Gonzales. Egon has his unique style, Laurie Kremling said. Egon and I have been working together since high school. My first job was in Hallettsville, he was on the air, I think he was a senior in high school at the time. Now were able to bring him back on board. The Kremlings and Barthels will also be joined by Dayton Gonzales of Luling. She will come on board to help with sales and promotions, and will be available to do live site broadcasts. She can do just about anything, Kremling said. Texas Thunder will stick with its top-40 country/Texas Music format while doubling the power of its signal. We did some tests the other day and were reaching Luling to the west and Edna to the east, Kreling said. Travis Kremling will anchor the stations on-air talent with a morning 6-10 a.m. shift, and will ghost-host the stations polka music show from 10 a.m.-noon. Laura takes over from noon until 3. Well feature TSN state news, and local news, and my show has the Trading Post, Laura said. Barthels said hell miss day-to-day work in Gonzales, but plans to keep up with events by continuing a partnership with The Cannon, possibly airing weekly regional-news segments.

Loose livestock calls on the rise

On this day in 1971, one of the first racially integrated exhibitions of contemporary artists in the United States opened in the remodeled De Luxe Theater in Houston. The exhibition began at a time of nationwide controversy about opportunities for black artists. It was sponsored by the Menil Foundation of Houston and curated by Peter Bradley, an associate director of the Perls Galleries in New York. With the help of the Rice University Institute for the Arts, Bradley transformed the old movie house into a showplace for nineteen contemporary artists. More than 1,000 people attended the opening to view Bradleys works, as well as those of Virginia Jaramillo, Ed Clark, Larry Poons, Jules Olitski, William T. Williams, Sam Gilliam, and others. More than 4,000 people had attended the exhibit when it closed on September 29. The theater continued to display examples of African Art for three years, and served as a gallery for the Black Arts Center until 1976.

CUERO Due to the lack of rain in our area, DeWitt County Sheriff s deputies as well as those in the surrounding areas are spending more and more time rounding up livestock, mainly cattle, and less time on patrol. In the last 60 days, DeWitt County Sheriff s deputies have responded to 205 loose livestock calls. Each call averages 42 minutes from time of response until the cattle are located and either the owner located or the cattle put up. According to a press release from DeWitt County Sheriff Jode Zavesky, that is over 154 hours in the 60 day period. We understand the problem with the lack of rain has caused a severe problem with the ranchers, said Za-

vesky. The lack of grass for their herds has caused an substantial hardship on the ranchers of the area. That hardship becomes a very dangerous situation when the livestock and vehicles collide. If it can be shown that the deputies have had repeated calls to the same locations, it might become very costly to the owner. The deputies in the area have three main options try to return the cattle to their pastures, have the cattle impounded and/or write the owners tickets

for allowing the livestock to run at large. Tickets are usually written only when repeated calls for the same livestock are required. Livestock are impounded most often when the owners of the livestock cannot be located or the cattle cannot be returned to a pasture. If the livestock are impounded, the owner if located, must pay for the hauling of the livestock as well as the fees charged by the company boarding the animals can be very costly, Zavesky said. If no owner is found, an ad is placed in

the local papers to try and find the owners. If no owner is found the livestock are sold at auction and the fees collected are used to pay for the hauling and boarding. Any remaining money is deposited with the county. Zavesky is asking that all ranchers do their best to keep their livestock within their fences. We understand that livestock will sometimes get loose, but those that escape the confines of their pastures continually cause the biggest problem, he said.

A two-vehicle accident left three people injured Tuesday evening in Gonzales. Gonzales Police Chief Tim Crow said officers responded to a call at 6:51 p.m. at the intersection of Water and St. John streets in reference to an auto accident. A beige 2001 Chevy driven by Luis Felipe Vasquez Gutierrez, 21, was exiting Independence Park at the Brickyard entrance when it failed

to yield the right of way and crashed into a 1997 Honda traveling north on Water Street. The occupants of the Honda including the driver, Melissa Rudd, 28, and two minor passengers were transported by EMS to Gonzales Memorial Hospital with undetermined injuries. No citations were issued at the scene, but Crow said the incident is still under investigation.

We just cant seem to get any rain around here. I was having a fabulous dream but it was just the air conditioner unit turning on and my vivid imagination. Pastor Paul had a prayer printed on the front of the Monthalia United Methodist Church Bulletin. I am going to quote it below. Its summer again, Lord. Its hot and dry-very hot and very dry. Lord we know that we arent giving you news, but we have the need to pray. The animals suffer with the drought. The land suffers with the drought. The plants all suffer with the drought. And Gracious Lord, we your people, all suffer with the drought. We cry out to you for relief. We beseech you for comfort. Lord, please send rain. Cool our fevered spirits quench our thirst for relief. Thanks unto you, O Maker of Heaven and Earth, thanks unto you. The Belmont Commu-

There was no infection in the bone or in the tissues. The bone got removed. They got to look at the fracture while they were poking around inside and the break is growing back together really well. So except for the after effects of the surgery, I came out of this doing better afterwards than going in.

I think half of Gonzales was in the surgical waiting room with me. I started looking around at familiar faces and some started asking my name. Some were there for moral support of the others. I better not name any names or I will get in trouble. One little girl not even a year old stole the show. She was dressed in an aqua dotted colored dress with a big bow in her hair and some cute little shoes to match. She was just learning to walk and with her dark brown hair, she was a cutie pie. It was good to have Darlene Lowman in church over at Monthalia on Sunday. They were also some other visitors to attend a reunion after church. My reporters failed me because they couldnt figure out who was having the reunion. Wade and Lola Wilson met up with Gene and Dora from San Antonio for a quick lunch. Gene is

complaining that he is getting too old to keep up his yard like he is accustomed to doing. I think this old age makes a person hone in their favorite pass times and you finally realize your true choices in life. Brittany Komol you have my empathy and sympathy. Having four wisdom teeth removed, cut out, or however you want to put it is pure torture. Some people can just scoff at it and say that there is nothing to it. You will never convince me that removing four big jaw teeth can be chalked up as nothing to it. I know it hurt, but I hear you survived and are feeling better. And I have just as much sympathy and empathy for L. A. Lindemann JR. Any person who has to ingest that yucky chalky barium junk deserves a medal. Then they want to do it from both ends of the world. When I first got sick with Crohns, they thought I got some kind of

pleasure out of doing those tests every six weeks. Praying for both of you. Well Pepe and Samson were so very happy to be reunited. Pepe has calmed down quite a bit. He is not as rowdy and turns his purr box on a lot more. He has a very loud purr. He is testing the water this week. I am having to watch my water glass. He put his foot in it and then shook water all over me including my glasses. Then he put his foot under the running water and shook it getting water all over my glasses. He puts his right foot into the water bowl and throws water everywhere. Then Will yells at me, that Pepe is in the bath tub with him, what is he supposed to do??? I start laughing and tell him to start running the water really strong and Mr.Pepe will make his exit. He does. Have a good week. God Bless.

Kelsie Marie Smith and Lance Michael Remschel were united in marriage at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 23, 2013 at the First United Methodist Church in Gonzales, Texas.

Heavily embellished waistband, delicately assembled, emphasizes the waist without losing the princess looks and feel.

The front of the building was decorated with old farm pails and water buckets filled with sand and candles. Happily Ever After was inscribed on an old piece of wood, from her Great-Grandparents farm in Cost, and was placed at the entrance placed in an old milk can. The entrance was decorated with Remschel Bros. signs from the old Remschel Brothers Lumber Yard. The brides book was placed in front of a bridal quilt, made by the brides step-mother. The quilt had an ivory background with scattered hearts of various shades of the brides chosen colors of ivory, teal and coral. The two bridal portraits were placed to the right and left of the gift table. The frames were made from old wood to match the theme of the wedding. The bridal portraits were taken on Kelsies Great-Grandparents farm in Cost, Texas, thanks Mamoo, by Erica Gillespie of Pretty, Pretty Picture. The tables were arranged family style so everyone could enjoy visiting with their families and friends. Each table had a 12 burlap runner down the middle with various sizes of wood, candles in votive and sand and candles in mason and ball canning jars.

The chandelier in the middle of the hall was a large limb, cut from the brides grandparents yard, wrapped with lights and flowing with streamers of ivory, coral and teal. A fabulous dinner of Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and all the trimmings provided by Country Cookers was enjoyed by all.

A real toilet snake

Plumbers suggest when you have a clog in your sewer line to use a toilet snake but thats not quite what Nancy Ryan was thinking when she headed to the restroom during a visit to her cabin Aug. 17. Ryan reports she lifted the lid to find a five-foot snake camped out inside. So how did she get it out? Flushing didnt work, she reports, So I put seven trays of ice in there because I figured, hes a reptile, it will slow him down. Two hours later, she donned a pair of rubber gloves and reached in to retrieve the snake, which had slowed tremendously. It hung straight for a minute, then it started to curl up, she said. She released the non-poisonous rat snake back into the wild, but insists: Im never going to read on the toilet again, especially at the cabin! (Courtesy photo)

Apaches, Brahmas square off in scrimmage

The Cannon

GONZALES Some rough edges were evident during Saturdays controlled scrimmage between the Gonzales Apaches and Hallettsville Brahmas but thats to be expected at this time of year. I think were a little slow out of the gate, but were usually a little slow out of the gate, GHS head coach Ricky Lock said after his Apaches came out on top, two touchdowns to one, in the 90-minute workout at Apache Field. I think our kids need to be in a little better shape, HHS coach Tommy Psencik noted. Its good experience for us because overall, they have the best line in their district. The contest, originally scheduled for Hallettsville, was moved to Gonzales after the field at Brahma

Stadium was deemed not ready after a heavy rain on Friday. Each teams second offensive unit scored once, and the Apache first group got a 50-yard scoring strike from Brant Philippus to Darrance James. For the Brahmas, Tim Sheppard broke loose for a 37-yard scoring run while the Gonzales 2s saw a nice set of downs capped on a 33-yard scoring run by Trent Schauer. Lock said he was pleased by the way the Apaches looked defensively, especially against the Brahmas first-stringers. He also said his squad will come around on the offensive side of the ball. Defensively we looked all right, although we didnt prep a lot, we just went out there and played the basics, he said. He said he was pleased by the performance of Phil-

lipus and Grayson Meredith at quarterback. We looked a whole lot better that second set of downs, he said. We know were going to run the ball a lot, I wanted to get the quarterbacks a chance to throw the ball some. Every snap they get on the varsity level, they get a little better. Psencik said the Brahmas, who went to the regional finals last season and posted a 12-1 record, should also be ready to roll by the time the season begins. Quarterback Nate Kowalik was picked off by the Apaches twice in the early going, but got more accurate as the scrimmage progressed. We did some things we wanted to do, he said. It was good for us because we got a chance to see what Hallettsvilles Brannen Caraway jumps out in front of Darrance James of Gonzawe look like against a real les to make an interception during a scrimmage between the Apaches and Brahquality team. mas on Saturday.

Mustangs dominant in scrimmage with St. Paul

By CEDRIC IGLEHART

NIXON It was only the first scrimmage of the year, but Nixon-Smiley looked like they were in midseason form as the Mustangs ran over the St. Paul Cardinals, 5-1, Saturday morning. I thought we were much improved, said NixonSmiley head coach Carlton McKinney. We turned the ball over very little, we blew very few assignments and we took care of business. Thats what were looking for each week. If we can give our best effort and eliminate mistakes, then we give ourselves an opportunity to have success and thats what we did today. The Mustangs wasted no time getting on the scoreboard. On the second play of the first 15-play series, Kevin Martinez jaunted 70 yards for a touchdown. After some strong runs from Tom Palacio, Jared Van Auken broke off another long run for a score. On the next play, Tristan Newman took a handoff on a counter and raced 70 yards to paydirt. The rest of the series was highlighted by a completion from Nick Pena to Sam Moore for a first down and was capped by a fourth score when Mikel Scarbrough went 50 yards on an end around. The scoring blitzkrieg was something new for the Mustang offense, which has traditionally been conservatively run-based under McKinney. Weve been very predictable with what weve done in the past, McKinney said. With the kids that we have this year, it gives us a little more flexibility and the ability to put the defense in some tough

Today we were able to get outside a little bit, throw the ball a little bit and do what we like to do which is run the football and control the clock. After the initial varsity series, it was the NixonSmiley JVs turn to take the field. They started by mounting a nine-play, 70yard drive that culminated in a QB sneak by Rodrigo Acevedo. The Cardinals struggled mightily when they went on offense for the first time. They only managed three first downs in 15 plays and fumbled three times including losing one that was recovered by Nixon-Smileys David Miles. St. Paul didnt fare much better in their second series. After converting a first down on the third play, two plays later the Mustangs Pena garnered an interception to put the ball back on the Cardinal 30. Tom Palacio got a sack, but two plays later St. Paul quarterback Marco Ynclan scrambled to move the sticks. Three plays later, Ynclan got another first down on a bootleg but he was picked off on the next play by Genaro Vasquez. We were very seniordominated last year and I think right now what were trying to do is get better, said St. Paul head coach Jake Wachsmuth. We needed this today because I think youve got to play other people to find out NIXON, Page B2

Shiner adjusts to new system, tops Sacred Heart

By MARK LUBE
sportseditor@gonzalescannon.com

HALLETTSVILLE The Shiner volleyball program has had the singlesetter system, the 5-1, in place for several years. One of the changes head coach Desiree Nitsch made was to gradually install the two-setter, 6-2 system. Shiner is learning the new system as they swept Hallettsville Sacred Heart, 25-17, 25-16 and 25-20 Tuesday night at Sacred Heart Gym. We are working on getting the offense adjusted to two setters because the girls are used to only having one, Nitsch said. Shiner (5-4) has a little bit of time to get the players running the 6-2 correctly as they start play in the Schulenburg Tournament today.

We have a couple of chances to fine tune our offense before district, she said. The Indianettes (1-3) appeared to resemble Dr. Jekyll and Hyde, making several plays in a row and then making some errors. We did not play in the first and second sets. Our passing was not on at the beginning which slowed our attacking game, Sacred Heart head coach Wanda Orsak said. Serving was an issue for Indianettes as they had a total of seven service errors. We had too many service errors, Orsak said. We were up and down. Just an inconsistent night. We would drill one ball then hit the next one out of bounds. Shiner opened the first set with a 5-2 lead with

a block by Kristin Schacherl and Amanise Coleman along with a kill from Meagan Chumchal. Sacred Heart was able to close down to 8-6, getting a pair of kills from Emily Harper. Shiner then went on a 5-0 run on service from Tamara Hajek. Sacred Heart cut its deficit to 16-10 and the Lady Comanches followed with nine of the next 13 points, getting plays from Julianna Rankin and Tabitha Blaschke to close out the set. Shiner powered to a 7-0 lead in the second game on service from Schacherl and a Chumchal kill. The Indianettes closed down to 9-3 on service from Kristen Popp and Kaylin Dworsky. Shiner then went on an 8-2 run with an ace from Rankin and a SHINER, Page B3

NIXON: Very sharp in scrimmage against inexperienced Cardinals team

Continued from page B1

where you are. Were going to be a lot better team down the road than what BRIEFS, Page B4 we are right now. During their third offensive series, the Mustangs inserted Sam Moore at quarterback. On the third play, he dropped back to pass but was pressured by a heavy rush. He eluded a defender in the backfield, rolled left and turned upfield, juked another defender and was off to the races when the whistle

blew just as he was faking out a third Cardinal. The play was called dead due to an emphasis from the scrimmage officials on protecting quarterbacks while running in the open field. As the series continued, the Mustangs got some nice inside running from fullback Justin Ramos. Then Moore broke off an electrifying 65-yard run for a score, but it was called back due to penalty. Sam is one of those kids we can put in a variety of positions in the backfield,

McKinney said. With him and the other kids we have, we are able to stretch out the defenses more. Our plan is to eventually evolve on offense to the point where hes doing a lot more of that. On their next offensive series, St. Paul ran into a stonewall defense. The Mustangs were more than stout in their play, which featured a fumble recovery by Ramos, a hard hit by Scarbrough and very inspired play from standout lineman Logan McMain. We had some success

early, but theres always a lull that happens in games, said McKinney. What we havent had in the past is that guy who picks the defense up (during those lulls) to make plays. Logan stepped up and started making plays and then everyone rallied around him. The Cardinals got on the scoreboard when Ynclan took it in from three yards out on the last play of the scrimmage. Marco is a good football player and a good athlete, said Wachsmuth. He can make things happen and we really have a few other players that can do that too, but all of these players are in spots they havent been in. Just playing today, even though it wasnt a real game, is going to help all of our kids. I think we got better as it went on, but by no means are we where we need to be. I think we did improve as we went through and well find out what we did wrong and work on it. Thats what scrimmages are for, especially when youre in our shoes.

COLUMBUS The Shiner Lady Comanches won second-place in the Silver Bracket last weekend in Columbus. The Hallettsville Lady Brahmas won the Silver Bracket Consolation title and Yoakum closed out its tournament run in the Gold Bracket Championship after advancing to the quarterfinals. Shiner vs. Nixon-SmileySmiley It may not have been pretty, but it was a win. The Shiner volleyball team swept Nixon-SmileySmiley 26-24, 25-19, Friday afternoon in the Columbus Tournament Silver Bracket. We were not as crisp as I would have liked, Shiner head coach Desiree Nitsch said. We need to hit better and be able to pass the ball better. We still pulled out the win and we played as a team. I thought we were better in the second set. Lady Mustangs head coach Kim Payne said her team needs to continue working and making improvement. They are improving. We need to keep at it, Payne said. The Lady Comanches opened the first set with a 5-1 advantage on service from Kristin Schacherl, a kill from Amanise Coleman and an ace from Meagan Chumchal.Nixon-Smiley then was able to close the gap to 7-6 with solid serves from Savannah Martinez. A couple of aces by Tamara Hajek helped put Shiner ahead 16-9. The Lady Stangs responded with a 7-0 run, getting a Martinez kill and two aces from Jordan Newman. Nixon-Smiley briefly took a 17-16 lead, but the Lady Comanches came back with a 5-0 run before Nixon-Smiley strung together four points to tie the set at 21-21 and later went ahead 22-21. Shiner then scored three points and the teams battled back and forth until Shiner got the game point, helped by a Coleman play. To start the second game, Chumchal got a kill, Coleman got a couple of blocks and Schacherl had good service to spring Shiner to a 9-1 advantage. NixonSmiley was able to close the gap down to 11-7 and Shiner then pulled away a little with a 14-8 lead, getting a block from Tabitha Blaschke. The Lady Stangs closed down to 16-13 and Shiner regained separation with five straight points including a Julianna Rankin kill. Nixon-Smiley got within 23-19 and Shiner closed out with two straight points. Shiner vs. #2 Schulenburg Shiner could not have drawn a tougher opponent in their opening match to the Columbus Tournament. The 1A Lady Comanches faced off against the Texas Girls Coaches Associa-

tion (TGCA) No. 2 team in Class 2A, Schulenburg, in their first pool game Thursday afternoon. The Lady Shorthorns swept Shiner 25-11, 2519, but Shiner made them earn it. Service by Shannon Mikesky at the start of the first set helped give Schulenburg a quick 3-0 lead. Shiner rallied for four quick points with a kill and block from Coleman and a kill from Samantha Natal. The Lady Comanches held onto the lead until 8-2 run by the Lady Horns put them ahead 12-7. Behind kills from Kelsie Fietsam and Sarah Walker, Schulenburg took dominating control with a 19-9 margin. A combo block by Natal and Coleman brought the Lady Comanches to within 19-11 before the Lady Horns ripped off six straight, with effort from Walker, Jade Bulnoch, Bay Guentert and Tanner Guentert. In the second set, Schulenburg overcame a 2-1 deficit at the start to go ahead 6-3. Shiner capped a 3-1 run with a block from Blaschke. The Lady Horns came back with five straight points and later went ahead 16-8. Shiner continued to battle with four straight points, getting a Coleman kill, a Chumchal ace and a block from Rankin. The Lady Comanches were able to close down to 17-14 and then to within 18-17 following a Rankin play. The Lady Horns then scored five straight points to help close out the set and the match. In Silver Bracket play, Shiner opened with a win over Hallettsville 25-17 and 25-14. Rankin had nine kills, Chumchal had two aces and four blocks, Schacherl had nine assists, Tamara Hajek had two aces, Sara Lauer had nine points and Coleman had four aces. The Lady Comanches faced Cedar Creek in the Silver Championship semis after defeating Nixon-Smiley-Smiley. Shiner won the match 25-22 and 25-14. Rankin had 10 digs; Schacherl chipped in one ace, four kills and nine assists; Lauer had one ace; Coleman had four kills and Blaschke had three blocks. The Lady Comanches fell to Victoria St. Joseph, 11-25 and 14-25, in the Silver Bracket Championship match. Rankin had three digs and two kills, Schacherl had four assists, Chumchal had two blocks and three digs while Coleman had two kills. Hallettsville vs. Brazosport Following their loss to Shiner earlier in the day, the Hallettsville Lady Brahmas and their coach, Megan Klimitchek, had a long talk about the game. Hallettsville quickly got back on track with a 2-0 (25-5, 25-7) win over Brazosport Friday afternoon in the Silver Bracket Consolation of the Columbus Tournament. The girls took the things

I had said after the Shiner game and applied them, Klimitchek said. The Lady Brahmas played more as a team against Brazosport and stood beside one another. They supported each other and picked each other up, Klimitchek said. They went out and played their game. The Lady Brahmas opened the first set with a flurry of points behind the serves of Heather Henneke and plays from Lana Hickson, Sarah Smith and Emma Wick, taking a 12-0 lead. Brazosport pulled back a couple of those points, getting a kill from Lasette Jones. Hallettsville fired off five points, getting an ace from Wick in the process. The Lady Brahmas later got a kill from Kenzi Etzler to take a 19-5 advantage and managed six straight points afterward to close out the first game. It was dj vu for Hallettsville in Game No. 2 as they scored the first dozen points with kills from Wick and Hickson, and service from Henneke. Brazosport stopped the run with a single point and the teams split the next four points, with Jasmyne Harris of Brazosport getting an ace. Hallettsville then scored five of the next eight points, getting a kill from Sarah Busselman. A little later, two aces from Lexi Fowlkes, one from Henneke and a play from Hickson helped the Lady Brahmas to a 5-1 run to end the second set and the match. Henneke had 28 points, 14 assists and six aces; Fowlkes had seven digs; Kendall Delvige had one block; Wick had one block; Hickson finished with four kills and one block. In pool play, Hallettsville fell to Sealy (25-14, 25-14). Wick served one ace and had five points; Camille Grahmann had one ace; Henneke had seven assists and three kills; Madison Schindler had three kills, eight digs and one block; and Hickson had one block. Hallettsville fell in two matches to East Bernard in its second pool game, 2517 and 25-22. Hickson had nine points and five aces, Schindler had eight digs and six kills, while Henneke ahd 17 assists and two blocks. The Lady Brahmas bounced back with a 2-0 win over Lexington (2519, 25-15). Hickson had nine points and four aces, Lexi Fowlkes had 12 digs, Schindler had six kills and Henneke had 17 assists. In the 17-25, 14-25 loss to Shiner, Hickson and Fowlkes had four points and one ace, Schindler had 11 digs and five kills, Busselman had one block and Henneke had eight assists and one ace. Hallettsville finished the tournament by winning the Silver Consolation bracket by sweeping Lexington 255, 25-15. Henneke had 16 serves and 15 points; Schindler

kill from Schacherl. The Indianettes then scored four of the next five, getting a kill from Olivia Bohuslav, to close down to 18-8. A pair of kills from Coleman boosted Shiner to a 21-9 lead and they outscored Sacred Heart 4-2 to go up 2-0 in the match. Sacred Heart got off to a good start in the third game with a 4-1 lead,

but Shiner rallied for five straight points and the teams battled back and forth until service from Jayde Kurtz gave the Lady Comanches a 17-9 cushion. Sacred Heart rallied getting plays from Bohuslav, Jamie Shimek and service from Rachel Saulnier to come within 19-13. Shiner later jumped out to a 22-16 lead only to see Dworsky make some aces

to bring the Indianettes within 24-20 before Shiner got the winning point. For Sacred Heart (1-3), Emily Harper had six kills, Shimek had six kills and two blocks, Saulnier had 16 assists, and Jaycie Orsak had five digs. Shiner won the junior varsity contest 25-19 and 25-11 as well as the freshman match, 25-20 and 2518.

This tournament definitely had some highs and lows for us, but helped open our eyes to things we need to work on, Klimitchek said. We ended the tournament in a good place. Yoakum vs. Nixon-Smiley Early in the season is the time to experiment with things so you have a solid plan by the time district starts. Yoakum head volleyball coach Alisha Boysen played around with her lineups and personnel combinations on the floor to try some new things as Yoakum defeated Nixon-Smiley 2-0 (25-13, 25-17) Thursday in pool play in the Columbus Tournament. I got to play some different people on the court and see what they can do, she said. It was a little experiment and it went well. It was a tough match for the Lady Mustangs. We did not play as a team, head coach Kim Payne said. There was no enthusiasm. We had a new lineup and did not have our full team available. No excuses, we should have played better. To open the match, Yoakums Callie Witte got a kill and then a couple of aces to help give the Lady Bulldogs a 4-0 advantage. The Lady Mustangs were able to pull a couple of points back before Shelby Pesek, Celine Markert, Faith Hagan and Reagen Renken made a number of plays to give the Lady Dogs an 11-4 lead A block from NixonSmileys Aliyah Moore helped spur them to a couple of points. Yoakum then scored five of the next nine points, getting a kill from Jaccari Hights. The Lady Stangs got a side out when Moore and Savannah Martinez combined for a block. Yoakum responded with a 5-1 run as Markert and Sheyenne Chumchal got a kill, and Markert and Hagan got a block. From there, Yo-

Early in the second game, Nixon-Smiley stayed very close and refused to let go. A kill by Markert spurned the Lady Dogs to eight straight points with Chumchal providing solid service and a couple of aces. With a kill from Whitley Gonzales, the Lady Stangs came within 23-16 before Yoakum scored two of the next three points to end the match. Latrice Brown had six kills, Witte had 11 assists and three aces along with seven digs and had a total of six points, while Markert had five blocks. The Lady Bulldogs defeated Freer 25-20 and 25-12 in pool play. Brown chipped in 12 kills; Witte had 10 assists, four aces and 15 points; Hights had three blocks and Pesek had nine digs. Yoakum fell in its last pool game to Victoria West 11-25 and 20-25. Brown had 10 kills; Witte had 13 assists; Market had one ace, two blocks and three points; Hagan had a single ace and a pair of blocks; Pesek had eight digs and three points; and Hights had two blocks. Yoakum opened Gold Bracket play Friday with a 2-1 (18-25, 25-20, 25-15) win over Brazos in the first round. Brown had 18 kills and 10 digs; Witte had 24 assists, eight aces, 12 points and 11 digs; and Markert had three blocks. The Lady Dogs fell to fellow district member #10 La Grange 2-0 (25-15, 25-12) in the quarterfinals. Brown had six kills, three points and 10 digs; Witte had 12 assists; Faith Hagan had one ace and Ashley Carroll had two blocks. Yoakum concluded action in the tournament with a 2-1 loss to host Columbus (25-18, 24-26, 25-16). Witte chipped in 22 assists; Renken had nine points; Markert had one ace; Brown had 10 kills, 10 digs and five blocks. Luling vs. Brazos With just one senior on the roster, probably every single match will be a little bit of a challenge for the Luling Lady Eagles volleyball team. Luling finished off Pool A play Thursday in the Columbus Tournament dropping a 2-0 decision (20-25, 11-25) to Brazos. We are young. We lost a good a group of girls from last year and we are trying to find our niche, Luling head coach Ophelia S. De Los Santos said. But we played hard. The Lady Eagles had a good start to the first set, taking a 4-1 lead on a kill and two blocks from Megan Emmons. Brazos came back to tie the game and Luling got ahead 6-5 on an ace from Emmons and a kill from Sarah Townsend. An ace from Brooke Emmons restored the Lady Eagles three-point lead at 10-7, but Brazos then scored five of the next six points. Luling rallied to tie the game at 14-14 before a kill from Isabel Jones and an ace from Alexyss Ramirez gave Brazos an 18-15 lead. The Cougarettes then closed out the game with a 7-5 run. Similar to the first set, the Lady Eagles got an early lead in the second, going ahead 4-2 with an ace from Claire Patterson. Brazos slowly closed the gap and then used a 12-point burst on the serves of Makyala Dickerson for an 18-6 advantage and later went up 21-7. The Lady Eagles began to show signs of life as Kaitlyn Wright got a kill and Brooke Emmons made some good serves. Brazos then used a 3-0 run to close out the game. The Lady Eagles fell in their first two Pool games, losing to Brenham 2-0 (725, 15-25) and 2-1 to Cedar Creek (22-25, 25-17, 1425). Luling faced Freer in the first round of the Silver Bracket, falling 13-25 and 16-25. In the Consolation semifinals, they lost to Lexington 17-25 and 14-25 to close out the tournament.

HOUSTON At a time when people in big cities are becoming increasingly disconnected from the world of nature and the outdoors, Take Me Outdoors Houston on Sept. 14 at Discovery Green offers a free, family-oriented festival to help urbanites in Texas largest city get back to nature. Now in its fifth year, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department event enlists multiple partners who provide hands-on activities, booths and opportunities to engage audiences who havent ever or dont often get exposure to the great outdoors, especially the parks and other resources located right in Houstons big backyard. By introducing urban adults and kids to outdoor recreation, our woods and waters and natural places become more relevant and important to them, said Heidi Rao, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hunter education specialist in Houston. We believe recreation leads to conservation. If theyre out there enjoying the natural world, they come to care about it and finally to care for it. Take Me Outdoors Houston will take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14 at Discovery Green, a 12-acre park created by a public/private partnership between the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy. The parks mission is to provide a beautiful, urban green space in the heart of Houston that serves as a village green for the city. It is located across Avenida de las Americas from the George R. Brown Convention Center and the Hilton Americas Hotel, sitting between the Toyota Center

four kills and eight assists, Fike had four kills and Rodriguez had four digs. Flatonia ended the tournament with a loss to host Stockdale 2-1 (25-18, 2225, 25-16).

Katie Steinhauser had four aces, Flood has two kills, Fike had two kills, Ribera had four assists and Rodriguez had four digs. Lady Brahmas fall to La Grange, Waller The Hallettsville volleyball team dropped two matches in La Grange to Waller and 3A #10 La Grange in a tri-match. We struggled with our passing tonight along with a few other areas, head coach Megan Klimitchek said. Waller won 27-25, 2511, 18-25 and 25-16. Lana Hickson had three blocks, Camille Grahmann had eight digs, and Madison Schindler had five kills with Heather Henneke chipping in 13 assists and three aces.
