Elizabeth Ellen Betty Spahn, 1931-2014 SPAHN Elizabeth Ellen Betty Spahn, 83, of Gonzales, passed away Tursday, June 12, 2014. Betty was born March 30, 1931 in Glouces- ter, Massachusetts to James Eldridge Harris, Sr. and Grace Ellen Bailey Har- ris. Betty was a member of the Gonzales First Baptist Church, the Glory Bound Singers of the church, and the Truth Seekers Sunday School Class. Betty was raised within a commercial fshing family in Gloucester. She loved ice skating and trapping lobster as a young girl. She moved to Gonzales where she grad- uated from High School and married Kenneth Hamlin Spahn on January 9, 1952 in Hallettsville. She worked at Gonzales Sewing Factory be- fore settling in as homemak- er to care for her children and help her husband with ranch chores. Betty readily accepted the hard work of raising a family, keeping a large vegetable garden, tak- ing other children in to love and care for to help others in a time of need. Her la- bors never ended, all that she did had purpose, whether it was canning or storing her gardens produce, cleaning house, cooking meals, taxi- ing children to and fro, chop- ping corn or working beside her husband tending cattle, she did for a single purpose, love. Many life lessons were demonstrated to her chil- dren by the manner in which she lived; when times were hard, she never gave up, she persevered with hard work, sweat and determination, these things are honorable and build character, giving up was not in her vocabu- lary. Afer the passing of her husband, Betty tended to the daily duties of ranch- ing herself; riding down into the pastures on her four wheeler full throttle and hair blowing in the wind was a common sight, along with pushing cattle in her pick up truck accumulating unex- plainable but knowing dents in her truck. Betty found time as the children grew to settle down with many good books, crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles. She loved to attend her grand- childrens sporting events and she had a memory that could instantly recall all the stats of the game. She adored her family; she cherished simple moments of sneak- ing of to the Sonic to enjoy refreshing cold drinks with her grandchildren. Betty survived living of the fruits of the sea and of the plains of Texas, within each she had family, she had love.

Afer being honorably dis- charged from military ser- vice, Kenneth raised chick- ens and started raising cattle. Along with working his cattle operation, Ken- neth enjoyed competing in calf ropings. He loved to go to horse sales and was a shrewd horse trader. Ken- neth worked for Marshall and Winston Company as a pumper for 10 years car- ing for 25 oil wells before he settled into a semi re- tired life. Kenneth loved his grandchildren, it wasnt uncommon for him to load up a very young grandchild and drive all over the coun- try enjoying his time on the road with his grandbaby. When cattle raising slowed and the horse trading talk became a whisper, Kenneth enjoyed watching baseball, especially the Texas Rang- ers and the Houston As- tros and then there was the Dallas Cowboys in the fall to watch or possibly go to an arena to enjoy watching cutting horses.

The couple lived in Harwood and raised their family in Harwood. She was a member of Harwood Baptist Church. Fannie was a magnifi- cent homemaker, nothing was ever out of place and she kept her house im- maculately clean. Fannie was an exceptional cook and her pies were simply the best in all the land. She loved and cared for her children in a fashion that made each one feel special, each child was loved in a unique way that celebrated their in- dividuality. Fannie was very loving and gener- ous to those close to her. Having survived the great depression she was one of those exceptional people that unselfishly put the needs of others before her own, certainly she never considered her giving a sacrifice, but a blessing. Fannie loved to laugh with family and friends, she was reserved socially, but her pleas- ant nature would always shine through. She was a loving, strong willed woman that enjoyed sim- ple things in life like bird watching and animals.

EDITORS NOTE: Gon- zales native SFC Joseph Camarillo presented members of the Roger Dreyer Family with a Come and Take It fag signed by members of his unit during ceremonies at the Dreyer Airport on Tursday to honor the in- spirational role played in his life by the late Roger Dreyer, What follows is his text of his speech dur- ing the event: Distinguished guests, family and friends; Good Morning! I am honored that you are here to join us for this fag dedication to Brigadier General Roger M. Dreyer. I would like to start of with saying thanks. I want to thank God for placing BG Dreyers life journey and my own in each oth- ers paths. However short it was, his words of inspi- ration will last a lifetime in my career. Tanks to my family for your con- tinued support, I know its not easy and I can be very vague about things I do on deployments but its to protect you. Tanks to the Dreyer family for allowing me to donate this fag to BG Dreyer and your con- tinued friendship. Tanks to my friends, for a group of individuals to grow up and do a total 180 degrees when we chose our careers we sure can pick back up afer years of not see- ing each other. And lastly thank you Daisy, who was also a collogue of mine in high school, for putting this all together, from the emails inquiring about the fag months ago to the beautiful display that we see as we stand here today. For those here today that do not know me, my name is SFC Joseph Ca- marillo, I am a PSG for an infantry platoon assigned to the 2-506th Infantry Regiment and part of the 101st Airborne Assault Division. Growing up I did JROTC in Dallas and once we moved back to Gonzales, I told myself I would never wear the uniform again. While attending Gonzales High School I had the privi- lege of befriending a young man by the name of Rus- sell Dreyer. From day one some would say we were very mischievous. When we thought that no one knew what we had done, we would walk in BG Dreyers house and he would snatch us up give us a stern talking to. To this day I dont know how he knew what he knew. but he was quick. It took a while for me to warm up to BG Dreyer, but once he heard I was thinking about a career in the military it was over. I heard about the frst time he few, to the life of an ofcer, and how enlist- ed men should be treated. I wasnt even in yet and I was getting a head start on lead- ership, duty, respect, selfess service, honor, integrity and personal courage. I remember one talk in regards to soldiering, let your Soldiers know you can do any task you give them; from cutting the grass to as- saulting an objective. LEAD FROM THE FRONT! Afer basic training I returned to Gonzales and found BG Dreyer waiting by the front door as I walked up to his house. I rendered a hand salute; just as any enlisted would an ofcer and he re- turned it with a CARRY ON and do pushups. Guess you can say I had a prominent military role model in BG Dreyer. I found myself calling him ofen, looking for that reas- surance in decisions I was about to blow of steam. He would always say do what you know is right. Choos- ing the hard right over the easy wrong is tough. and if you fail at least you gave it your all. fail 100 percent. There is no way of tell- ing how long I would have made it in the Army if I didnt have BG Dreyer to lean on . A year or two tops is my guess. I hate to see our heroes leave us. They sacrificed more than anyone will ever know and we owe it to them honor them in any way we can. I will end with this quote from Benjamin Disraeli Te legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example. BG Dreyer: You have a son and grandsons that I personally know have been carrying on your strength, your words of wisdom and fellowship. You have impacted more people that you will ever know, from your family, to this community, to me. Thank you for your mentorship. DOG 2-7 out and carry on.

(Photo by Mark Lube) Correction A story in last weeks edition concerning Commissioners Courts support of a Farm Bureau resolution opposing the Environmental Protection Agencys unlawful rulemaking which could negatively afect farmers and ranchers incorrectly identifed Gonzales Farm Bureau President Charles Rochester. Te Cannon regrets the error. Te defeat and replacement of the Texas Solution at last weekends state Republican convention was a stunning victory for grassroots and Tea Party ac- tivists, and a shocking defeat for the GOP establishment and its big-business crony allies. Te GOP elite claimed that the Texas Solution which was approved in 2012 and advocated for a national guest-work- er program was a common sense approach to immigration that would help bring more Hispanics into the party. Tey said the platform would neutralize Democrats on the issue. Religious-mind- ed people supported it for compassionate reasons. Opposing them were citizen delegates led by the Tea Party. Tese folks were tax- payers, consumers and ordinary citizens who see their lives growing more difcult because the American dream is slipping away. Tey saw the Texas Solution as a cheap-labor plank masquerading as His- panic outreach that would complicate an already out-of-control immigration cri- sis. Grassroots conservatives over the past year also began to realize that the Texas Solution was light on enforcement. Given that over 160,000 illegal immigrants have been detained on the South Texas border since October 2013, conservatives knew that any immigration solution had to start with border security. Te new party plank truly addresses immigration in several ways. First, it calls for securing the borders by boosting the number of border security ofcers, increasing joint operations with local law enforcement, and building a physical barrier that includes electronic and visual monitoring. Tese are neces- sary safeguards. Second, it says we must end in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, ban sanc- tuary cities and enforce laws against em- ployers who knowingly hire illegal immi- grants. We must remove the magnets that encourage illegal immigration. Tird, it says we must strengthen the states anti-smuggling laws. When smug- glers can make money and are not prop- erly punished, they put innocent people in danger. Fourth, it calls for action on the grow- ing number of problems illegal immigra- tion presents for property owners and law enforcement ofcers. We must pro- vide civil liability protections for land- owners and protect the ability of all law enforcement ofcers (state, county and municipal) to inquire about immigration status. Fifh, it calls for modernizing current immigration laws. No form of amnesty, including legal status for anyone who willfully enters the country illegally, should be granted. Only when such a stif penalty is enforced will people stop com- ing to the U.S. illegally. Sixth, it calls for replacing the current employment visa system with a better, more cost-efective system. We also sup- port ending the annual green card lot- tery and country-of-origin quotas. Use of the E-Verify system must also be en- forced. Criticism has poured in from both Democrats and Republicans, claiming this plank is racist and anti-Hispanic. As a sixth-generation American of Mexican descent, let me answer those allegations: First, immigration is not a Hispanic is- sue. It is a matter of national security and sovereignty, and we should protect our borders. Second, the race card is always played as a last resort when no other arguments can hold water. My family and I have seen frsthand the impacts of illegal immigration, including more competition for jobs, depressed wages and political manipulation. We will not be suckered by the Demo- crats or elitist Republicans any more. Sorry, Texas Association of School Boards: the stealth stops here. Teaxs Attorney General Greg Abbott on Tuesday issued his opinion on a re- quest by State Sen. Dan Patrick question- ing whether local school districts can use the Common Core Standards to teach state standards. Te entire Opinion GA-1067 makes it absolutely clear: Texas school districts are required to provide instruction in the essential knowledge and skills at appropriate grade levels, and pursuant to subsection 28.002 (b-3) of the Education Code, they may not use the Common Core State Stan- dards Initiative to comply with this re- quirement. Of special note was Abbotts response to a briefng fled by TASB, which claimed that since Common Core and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills overlap in some areas, it should be fne to use Common Core materials to teach state standards. Te briefng raises the concern that if teachers cannot use the Common Core Standards in any way, it will result in an inability to teach many of the required TEKS due to this overlap. Tat concern is baseless, the opinion reads. Te AG held that the legislation (House Bill 462) which amended the state Educa- tion Code to prohibit the adoption of Common Core by the state and by local school districts, was also intended to pre- vent the use of Common Core materials. Te opinion adds: Te Legislature was aware of the fre- quent overlap between the TEKS and the Common Core Standards ... Te stated intent of the bill was to prohibit the out- right adoption of national common core standards. Accordingly, school districts must not use the Common Core Stan- dards to comply with the requirement to provide instruction in the essential knowledge and skills at appropriate grade levels. Te ruling is a signifcant victory in the battle against the marketers of the Com- mon Core Standards and the education publishing industry and their allies like TASB. Even afer the passage of HB 462, it be- came immediately evident the education industry was going to simply ignore the law because it didnt ft their agenda. In December, the Learning Forward conference in Dallas prominently fea- tured symposiums on how to use Com- mon Core without adopting it: namely, call it supplemental material and use it instead of material designed specifcally for the TEKS. Another conference in Austin in March was attended by hun- dreds more local-district administrators with the same themes. Te Charles Dana Center at the University of Texas at Aus- tin was openly advertising classes on how to implement Common Core in Texas schools. Te problem with Common Core that more states are discovering is that they dont promote educational excellence, but instead create a lowest common denomi- nator in a vain attempt to achieve equity in outcomes. Like all the failed outcomes- based ideas before them, their focus is less on actual academics and more on creat- ing desired attitudes, values and feelings attitudes, values and feelings which are almost exclusively politically progressive. As the nations second-largest public school system, Texas is a rich prize for the education industry and the publish- ers who reap billions of textbooks, sof- ware and tests. Tat explains why the education industry keeps attempting to circumvent elected oversight in the Lone Star State. Modern American academia is ruled and fueled by political liberals includ- ing billions of dollars from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Te educa- tion publishing industry has invested billions as well; Texas rejection of those standards is a crushing fnancial loss. And for the academics and their political allies, losing Texas means losing the potential to indoctrinate millions of future low-infor- mation voters.

He is the former President of the San Antonio Tea Party, and is now Executive Director of the South Texas Politi- cal Alliance. George Rodriguez Governor Rick Perry should call a special session of the Legislature immediately to deal with the fail- ure of the federal government to perform its Con- stitutional duty to protect our border. Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution reads: The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on appli- cation of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence. The massive infux of illegal aliens swarming over the Texas-Mexico border is a human tragedy being orchestrated by the Obama Administration. Stories from newspapers and broadcast stations through- out Central America directly quote ofcials within the Obama Administration as efectively saying: The U.S. is giving citizenship to any child who crosses the border, then to their family members. No one will be deported. Thousands of unaccompanied children and teens, along with adults, are swarming into Texas. The Immigration Statistics Ofce estimated the number of unaccompanied children projected for this at 90,000, compared to 11,000 two years ago. Already news reports are emerging from the Rio Grande Valley of contagious diseases, including chickenpox, accompanying the human tide. State ofcials are doing their best to vaccinate and treat these diseases, but their resources are stretched to the limit. Worse, evidence is now emerging that an increas- ing number of drug cartel operatives, gang mem- bers including the notoriously violent MS-13 and Middle Eastern terrorists are joining the infux. We in Central Texas have already seen the complete disregard for human life these criminals carry with them. A number of state legislators have called on Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus to convene the Legislature to provide emergency funding for state agencies involved in helping the overwhelmed Border Patrol. We would further suggest the Govenror use his authority as Commander in Chief to mobilize both the Texas National Guard and the Texas State Guard to apply their resources as well. This orchestrated efort in support of lawlessness is but the latest in a long line of ofenses by the Obama Administration against the sovereign state of Texas. From EPA rules attempting to usurp our states economy to the Justice Department giving weapons to drug cartels, Washington has made it clear it punish Texas for the Lone Star States def- ance of its unconstitutional actions. Texas is being invaded, Governor. Defend us. Show me a good loser, and Ill show you a loser. Vince Lombardi At the oddest of times my memory will jump out of neutral and send me in reverse. Back in time. A few minutes ago I went back about 40 years. To when I was pocketing pocket change as a sports editor. Wound up on the campus there of Schreiner Institute in Kerrville. Tats where the Houston Oilers held their training camp in 1972 and 73. I was there. Both years. I do not feel my presence at the Hill Country loca- tion had anything to do with the Oilers ability to win in 72-73. When they had back-to-back 1-13 re- cords. If it hadnt been for those single victories each year they could have post- ed perfect 0-14 marks. Tats two complete sea- sons that die-hard Oiler fans had to drink them- selves to sleep. So I was there on the sidelines cocking an ear and asking a few questions of the players and fling daily reports with my by- line. Tis was when the Oil- ers were still in the AFL (American Football League). A few players impressed me with their competen- cy in stringing together sentences that made any sense. (Does that sentence make sense? Spell-check says it passes muster but I dont get it myself.) Especially, Dan Pastori- ni. Pastorini was a frst- round pick in 71. Tat was to his misfortune. You see, Bud Adams was the owner and if youve ever followed pro football you have heard of Bud Adams. Adams is a master at mismanagement. Anyway, Pastorini, who was a heck of a quarter- back, just didnt have an of- fensive line that could pro- tect him. You want proof. Dante broke the NFL re- cord for getting sacked as a rookie, continued to hold it again in 72 and once more in 73. He was sacked 15 times in a single game dur- ing his rookie year. Tank goodness he played in the Astrodome or hed have been brushing tons of dust of his Oiler Blue uniform. Reason why. Te ofen- sive line of the hapless Oil- ers was replaced in its en- tirety each of his frst three seasons with the club. Ad- ams at his decision-mak- ing best. But Pastorini hung in there. Propped up and bul- lied and bloodied. Even guided the Oilers to the AFL championship game in 79. Only to fall to Pitts- burg. Despite the setbacks the Oilers sufered season afer season I remained a Hous- ton fan up until the move in 97 to Tennessee. Before shifing gears I decide to back it up a bit further in my past. To when I was a youngster in the little burg of Rosebud. Where I participated in a passel of sports. Organized or not. Vacant lot pickup games of Shag were common for 10-year-old bur heads. Teammates decked out in woolen Little League uniforms in July. Ten ju- nior high and high school. Baseball, basketball and football. A fellow by the name of P.J. Hoelscher was in- strumental in providing instruction to a bunch of us misfts for quite a few decades. Coach Hoelscher coached year-round. I suspect because it was his nature and something he felt needed doing. And he loved doing. He provided us with the necessary fundamentals in just about every sport played in the Rosebud school system. During the summer he headed the Little League and Pony League programs. He taught me a lot. In my mind, today, I fgure Coach Hoelschers philos- ophy was something such as this: To instill in all players the ability to fnd out what you dont do well and then dont do it. Perhaps he should have been a life coach for Bud Adams. Turned me into a pretty good basketball player. Coached me in junior high. Continued through high school where I was a varsity starter my sopho- more and junior years. He guided me in the art of de- veloping an ability in ball handling, shooting and humility. Te humility part came of the hardwood court. At the height of the cage season. On a Sunday af- ternoon he espied this 17-year-old athlete with a cigarette to the lips. My gear was no longer in my gym locker come Mon- day morning. He yanked it all, including my jock strap. Back then and even to- day I do not fault Coach Hoelscher. I only fault my ownself. I only wish that I would have humbled myself and told him that I was sorry I disappointed him. In todays win at any cost agenda I doubt there are many coaches out there that would devote the time and energy to the youth Coach P.J. Hoelscher did in his long career. Shifing out of reverse and back into neutral while the neurons in the gray matter idle down. To the present. I no longer give a rats behind about any sport. Amateur or professional. No longer do we have role models. Nor athletes. Its all brute strength. And dumb weight. And tattoos. And doping incidents. Pro basketball is a game of international players. Take a look at the hotshots in the NFL. Basically a compound for criminals. Tasteless tattoos outweigh their talent. Bodyguards are the norm and Sunday night shootings practically a given. On the high school level, just this past week the UIL in Texas was considering adding a fourth playof team in classes 3A and 2A for team sports. If passed the change would be im- plemented in 2015-16. Back when I was young we had a district champi- on. And that champion was the only team to advance into the playofs. If two teams tied they were con- sidered district co-champs with the team leading in penetrations going on into post season play. Now, the sideline scenar- io seems to be a coach and his overpaid staf telling the players its okay to lay back. Why bother giving it your all. Jeez, we have only fve teams in our district and four of em are going to be in the playofs. Playofs? Hell, why not skip the regular season and skip straight to the post- season playofs? Tat way the state champs in foot- ball could be declared by Columbus Day. As a former sports scribe I turn my back and my nose up to what is consid- ered sports nowadays. As Steve Garvey as- sessed: Te diference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. Te old ball- player cared about the name on the front. Te new ballplayer cares about the name on the back. Teams today, in my book, seem void of cama- raderie, esprit de corps. Teres no were-all-in- this-spaceship-together sort of attitude. Catch you down the road ...

He now lives in the Moulton area. Jim Cunningham In Your View Concert series: we deserve better LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I went to the Friday night concert this week and sat in the heat with about 200 other folks waiting for the music which was supposed to start at 7 p.m. Well, 7 came and went, then 7:10 and 7:15, still no music. At 7:20 I went over to the stage where Egon Barthels was standing and asked where the band was. He informed me they were eating supper. Nearby was Barbara Fried- rich, the one in charge of hiring the bands, and asked her where the band was and she informed me that they were eating sup- per. I stated that the music was supposed to begin at 7, so was she going to pay the band full price and she stated that they would make it up. I asked her when they were going to make it up? Tey were slated to play 7-8, then break for the fun games and resume play- ing 8:30-8:45 til 10, there was no make up time. Barbara Friedrich told me she didnt have time to discuss this now, and walked away. Once again, the citizens money is being wasted by peo- ple that have no idea what they are doing. Te band was hired with a contract and they did not fulfll their end of the con- tract. Tey should have been penalized fnancially. I have spent over 61 years playing music all over the country. I started at 14 1/2 playing every Friday and Sat- urday night at the local VFW in my home town. We were a 10-piece band playing Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. I evolved to rock briefy, then to my frst love, country music. I have worked just about ev- ery venue possible. One thing I learned was that the band needed to bend over back- wards to please the boss. If we were to begin at 7, then the frst note would have been struck at 7, or better yet, at 6:58. I have been playing music all over central Texas for the past 15 years. I know what kind of music people want to hear in various areas. Tis is Gonza- les County, heavy in German, Czech and Polish. Tese peo- ple want to hear good Polka bands. People in this area love their old country and want to dance the two-step and waltz. We have a heavy Hispanic population and these people want to hear their Tejano mu- sic and dance the cumbia. Wouldnt it be nice if that could be provided? Te citizens of Gonzales deserve better! Te people hiring the entertainment have no idea what the people want to hear! Every year we have to sufer through an Austin Mu- sic band. No one in Gonzales wants to hear Austin music. Te last thing the organizers should do is go to an agent or promoter and ask them to provide entertainment. Te agents do not know the tastes of the area, plus they will pro- vide bands that will make them the most money, not the best bands for the area. Most im- portant, representatives from the concert series should make arrangements and go and see the proposed bands in action! I knowmost of these bands are seriously overpaid. I have comments to make about the two bands that have already played, but will wait to hear the next two bands before I assess their performances. People, call the city and de- mand better! Pat Rosato Cost EDITORS NOTE: Te funding for the Main Street Summer Concert Series comes from donations from the businesses and individuals of Gonzales and our surround- ing communities. Tere is no citizens (taxpayer) money involved. Te Main Street Committee is an organization of hard-working volunteers who approve the hiring of the agent to provide talent for the series. Perhaps if youd volun- teer to help, you could use your expertise to have more of a say in which types of music and bands are selected. State Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford, said Monday that he and other conservative lawmakers are urging the states Republican leadership to call a special legislative session to address the infux of undocumented immigrants in South Texas. Te move comes afer an online petition was launched last week urging Gov. Rick Perry, House Speaker Joe Straus and Lt. Gov. David De- whurst to call legislators back to Austin to deal with the is- sue. Stickland said he did not start the petition but is aware of it. It has also been tweeted by state Rep. Steve Toth, R- Te Woodlands, whose ofce did not immediately return calls seeking comment. I know there are a lot of legislators talking with each other fguring out what we need to do, Stickland said. Perrys ofce said the gov- ernor has been raising con- cerns since 2012 to President Obama about an increase in unaccompanied minors crossing the border. His ofce said its obvious the adminis- tration still does not have a handle on the problem. Te governors ofce did not rule out a special session. Lucy Nashed, a spokes- woman for Perry, said in an email that the issue is a result of an unsecured border with Mexico. Tats why Texas has put hundreds of millions of dollars into personnel and resources to fll in where the federal government has failed, she said. Gov. Perry has also signed on to a let- ter with Lt. Gov. Dewhurst directing DPS to conduct a border surge operation in the coming months. Tis let- ter is awaiting approval from Speaker Straus. As he does with calls for special session on any issue, the governor will take this into consider- ation. Asked about the special session, Dewhursts ofce said lawmakers should consider resuming Texas Department of Public Safety operations that he said have proved efec- tive at securing the border. Dewhurst cited last falls Operation Strong Safety, which added more state- based security in the Rio Grande Valley. Back in December, I pro- posed applying the lessons learned in Operation Strong Safety to fund a sustained DPS surge to stabilize the border region, he said in a statement. Gov. Perry has expressed his support for this approach, especially in light of the growing unac- companied minor situation caused by President Obamas irresponsible rhetoric. We can no longer wait on the federal government to meet its responsibilities on border security.

Te whole thing was planned out, the Pebbleses continued. Tey even had a prepaid phone. Tey claimed to be from Austin but the police think they may have had similar issues with the male and he may be a Gonzales local. I dont remember his name but it could have been a fake one, but I believe it is Chris or something close. Tey were in a white Chevy smaller SUV almost like an Equinox maybe. Te Peepleses post also said they felt in- timidated by the couple: I had my daughters with me as well. Te money felt fake but we were worried that if we said anything that we would have a gun in our faces or our daughters faces. Taylor said the charges were initially list- ed as unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and forgery, but added the frst charge will probably be changed to thef. Either way, its a state jail felony, he said. Taylor said he met with Secret Service ofcials and they were aware of the trans- action. RBFCU is reportedly forwarding the counterfeit bills to the Secret Service, which is the federal agency in charge of in- vestigating counterfeiting. Te incident follows several others in re- cent weeks. Taylor said that on June 6, an ofcer was dispatched to Walmart afer two $20 bills and one $10 bill were passed in the store. On June 10, another $100 counterfeit bill was obtained in a call to Sage Capital Bank. Tat bill was transported to a crime lab in Austin to be checked for fngerprints. News reports from around Central Texas indicate that more than $600,000 in coun- terfeit currency has been siezed in recent weeks, and on Tuesday the Atascosa Coun- ty Sherifs Ofce announced an arrest in another case as well. Atascosa County Sherif David Soward said Larry Leroy Twigg, 57 of Pleasanton, has been charged afer Atascosa County Deputies and investigators foiled a coun- terfeit operation Tuesday. Te suspect and a woman were found with a computer, printing apparatus, coun- terfeit money and a small amount of meth- amphetamines at a motel in Pleasanton. Twigg had an outstanding warrant out afer failing to appear for a thef charge in Frio County. Tis appears to be a major bust and ex- cellent work by deputies, Atascosa County Sherif David Soward said. Federal charges are pending afer Unit- ed States Secret Service agents responded once contacted by ACSO Chief Investiga- tor Jake Guerra. An ACSO deputy checked a business south of Pleasanton that received trafc by the counterfeit $20 bills, which tracked the couple to a motel. Twigg was scheduled to be magistrated ContinuedfrompageA1 Demerson, the Texas Workforce Commis- sions Director of Employer Initiatives, in presenting the award to Gonzales. Gonzales EDC was cited as the top sub- mitted eforts among communities with less than 15,000 population. Te Mis- sion EDC was the winner for cities of up to 100,000, while the San Antonio Eco- nomic Development Foundation won the large-cities award. Te regional award was shared by Workforce Solutions North- Central Texas and Workforce Solutions West Texas. GEDC, Victoria College, City of Gon- zales, and other local entities partnered to build a workforce training center adjacent to the Gonzales Centers current location. Te partnership between the GEDC and Victoria College was designed to create a center where students could be trained in industrial trades. Gonzales and surrounding communities have shown a need for a skilled workforce to accommodate the growing south Texas oil and gas industry. A vacant used car dealership was renovated to include two academic classrooms, a workforce train- ing classroom, and sixteen state-of-the art welding booths. An additional building on the property was renovated to create a classroom and laboratory for an Instrumentation/Mea- surement training program. Another facet of the project was the addition of a new science lab in the Gonzales Center to train students for entry into nursing programs. Te Gonzales Workforce Training Cen- ter (GWTC) opened April 28. Welding stu- dents gave demonstrations in the welding booths and the public toured the Center, the new science lab, and the Instrumenta- tion/Measurement building. Te GEDC and Victoria College shared several mutual needs: a skilled workforce, a student population in search of mar- ketable skills, and retention of the work- force produced by these eforts. Te City of Gonzales purchased the property and provided valuable in-kind assistance of $550,000 toward completion of the project. GEDC reimbursed the City $400,000 for the purchase of the property and pledged $125,000 in additional funds to complete the project. In addition, the business community kicked in its support as well: Guadalupe Valley Electrical Co-op, Kitchen Pride Mushroom Farm, Southern Clay Products (now BYK Additives) all made signifcant contributions, along with the M.G. and Lil- lie A. Johnson Foundation and the Dickson Allen Foundation. Te 2nd 25th Interme- diate Sanction Facility provided crews on seven diferent dates to aid with demolition of the old Chevrolet dealership and cleaning up in preparation for the construction. We need these skills, said John Such of BYK Additives. Attending the ceremonies were Nathan Neuse, Chairman GEDC Board; Carolyn Gibson-Baros, Gonzales Economic De- velopment Director; Jon Such, Produc- tion Manager, BYK Additives, Inc.; Bobby Logan, Mayor, City of Gonzales; Jackie Mikesh, Center Manager, Victoria Col- lege, Gonzales; Babette Lowe, Dean of Academic Foundation, Victoria College; Dr. Patricia Vandervoort, Vice President of Instruction, Victoria College; Lindsay Dennis, Ofce of the Governor; and Dave Mundy of the Gonzales Cannon and Rob Ford of the Gonzales Inquirer. Te VC work crew traveled to Gonzales several days a month over a period of two years. Te crew built the classrooms, in- stalled ceilings, installed electrical outlets and wiring, built the 16 welding booths, replaced and installed windows, installed fooring and plumbing features and com- pleted many other tasks. SNYDER: Fan favorite now an ambassador for PBR prize money, with an afer-party scheduled each night. Snyder is very familiar with the Gon- zales event, although like so many others finishing in the money there was elusive the last few years. They really get some of the rank- est young bulls at that event, he said. I remember it was 2009 or 2010 when I switched from wearing a cowboy hat to a helmet, I did it at Gonzales and Im glad I did. Its a great event. Snyder, the 2001 PBR Rookie of the Year and World Finals event winner, is the first and only rider to turn out more than 900 times at Built Ford Tough Series events. Snyder holds the series records for most events attended and most consecu- tive events attended more than 275, an amazing feat in a sport where injuries are so frequent. He didnt miss a single BFTS event, in fact, until 2010 despite a torn rota- tor cuff, broken wrist, broken leg, knees that needed to be surgically repaired, multiple concussions, rib injuries and a lacerated chin among other ailments. He broke the C-7 bone in his neck in April, 2010, but returned to competition three months later in August. By 2011, Snyder reclaimed the promise of his rookie season, when he finished seventh in the world. He finished 12th and 11th in the world standings in 2011- 2012 and was again in the Top 20 in his final season. Snyder recorded the highest-marked ride of his career in 1994 when he rode Werewolf Snuf for 94 points in Fresno, Calif. He won nearly $220,000 in Las Ve- gas, in 2011, when he claimed the title of Last Cowboy Standing at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, which happened to be the 300th event of his career. Snyder now works for the Bass Pro Shops sporting goods giant, but keeps his hand in the sport he loves. I still get invited to a lot of PBR events like Gonzales, he said. Bo Davis is one of my buddies, so when he called I said yes. immediately. Among his other projects now, Snyder is involved in bringing bull riding to the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. Were working on a huge amphitheater and arena in Branson, he said. Ill prob- ably be in charge of all that. And I still put on clinics for the young riders every now and then.

Let me explain. Believers in Christ must not be petty, nor must we go about with a chip on our shoulder looking for a good fight. In fact, we are to seek peace with all men. (Ro- mans 12:18) Yet we are those that love the truth. We cannot love the truth apart from a will- ingness to stand for that truth. This necessarily means that we oppose and reject those things that are not in keeping with the truth of Gods Word. The un- willingness to stand for truth often goes under the guise of the same trite things repeated time and time again. Some ex- amples will suffice: Invariably someone will say, We are not supposed to judge. As if the whole discussion should come to an end. The search for truth and a Biblical response should be placed on the shelf, never to be taken down because we are not to judge. That is not what the Bible calls for when we are told not to be judgmental. It simply means we must not ex- ercise hypocritical judgment; such as seeking to take the speck out of anothers eye when we have a beam in our own eye. Nor must we pass judgment on the heart and motives of others, only the Almighty knows such things. However, we must ex- ercise faithful discerning judg- ment. It is our responsibility to discern between truth and er- ror. We must search the Scrip- ture and put everything we read or hear under the searchlight of Gods Word. To do any less than this is to forsake our call- ing as followers of Christ. Then there are those that seek to shut down any form of debate in the search for truth by simply saying, I dont discuss religion or politics. Could it be that this is simply an attempt to hide ones ignorance and unwilling- ness to study the things of God? Absolutely nothing is more im- portant than a proper under- standing and response to the truth of God. To skirt the issue by tritely refusing to engage in the discussion may do eternal damage to ones soul. Study the Word of God. Buy the truth and sell it not. (Proverbs 23:23) Learn the truth, share the truth, and dont yield an inch of truth. Then there are those that suggest that one mans opinion is just as valuable as another. You know, everyone has his or her truth. Who are we to say than someone may be wrong in what they believe or say? We are told that after all, it is not absolute objective truth that matters. What matters is sim- ply that we are sincere in what we believe. In other words, as long as someone is sincere in their belief, they must never be challenged as to the truthful- ness and validity of their belief. How ridiculous is that? That is like thinking that poison will do no harm, as long as we sincerely believe it is a helpful medicine. It is a spiritual disaster to think that all beliefs are the same. To do so is to throw all truth un- der the bus or to simply say that truth doesnt matter. May I suggest that the Chris- tian community needs to be a bit tougher? Have we become too timid to embrace and pro- claim the truth? Is our silence an indication of our spiritual compromise? Should we refuse to own and proclaim the truth that has freed us from a life of enslavement to sin? We must be ready to speak of the very One who gave His life for us on the cruel cross. It is no sign of a lack of love or intolerance to speak out for the sake of truth. We are to speak the truth in love. (Ephesians 4:15) Maybe a little debate would be a good thing. Dont let common little trite re- sponses win the day. Make your case for truth. Remember, it is not your religious tradition or your moral standards that you are called to defend and pro- claim. What we must proclaim is the truth of God as revealed in Holy Scripture. Christian, study up, speak up, and toughen up. Blessings to you. Christian community needs to toughen up a bit Clint Lowery Clint Lowery is pastor of Memo- rial Heights Baptist Church in Gonzales.

As well as online at www.thetexas.org Or by calling (830) 372-6168 DOORS OPEN 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO SHOWTIME Well the people over in the backwoods of Bebe and Leesville got more than rain last week. We were not even forecast to get rain here that night. It wasnt supposed to get this far. We could hear it roaring to the West of us and then it switched to the South. Tere were so many trees down around Lillie Lays and Willard Stewarts house that you could barely fnd the houses. Some of them were pulled up by the roots and some were twisted to pieces. Tey were huge ma- ture oaks and mesquites. Down near the Perezs one tree crossed the road and the Highway Dept. had to get it out of the way before people could get through. GVEC had electricity out for around ten hours and CPL or whoever they are now had their power of longer. Supposedly there were winds between 85 and 100 MPH winds between Belmont and Leesville that night. Te Wilsons had a lot of trees down near the Hwy. 1682 and they said it was raining so hard and hailing so hard that they did not realize the wind was that bad. Te hail wasnt that large but there was a lot of it. Tey got around three and a half inches of rain. I guess we were lucky it wasnt any worse. Someone will have a lot of BBQ wood if they cut it up right. On TV they just showed those horrible twin tornadoes, one which wiped out half of a town. Angie DeCou is plan- ning to have a play time afernoon for all of the younger kids at the Bel- mont Community Center one afernoon a week. Call her for more information. Tey are asking for 1.00 donation per child to cover the cost of electricity for air conditioning, Tis is a great idea to keep the kids occupied for an afernoon. It gives them something to look forward to. Te Brotherhood Schol- arship BBQ will be held on July 11th from 5-7, at $8.00 a plate, plus a silent auc- tion. To donate a silent auc- tion item, please contact Scottie Baker at 437-2777. Te Belmont Commu- nity Center group has also decided to put together a cookbook. A cookbook as not been printed for the Belmont area in ages. Kathy Collins is going to oversee the project. Other committee members are Ellen Wundt, Jackie Kidd, and Liz. We are soliciting recipes from everyone in the community. You may want to say I got this rec- ipe from Great Grandma. Also they will be having a Back to School fundraiser on August 9th. Tis will in- clude ice cream and sand- wiches. It will be $10.00 per family and $5.00 per per- son. More details will come along later. Te Belmont Commu- nity Center group is hav- ing a good attendance at their exercise meetings. It is held at 8:30 on Tuesday and Tursday mornings at the Center. Anyone in the community both men and women, young and old are welcome. Te Methodist Confer- ence sent Pastor Paul Smith back to the Belmont and Monthalia churches for his thirteenth year to pastor the fock. Talking about the fock, we thank Rev. Billy Washington for the won- derful message he brought last Sunday to our church- es. He brought along his lovely wife and his brother Roy Washington for moral support. He gave an elec- trifying sermon based on where you frst should obey the commandments of God. Abraham was told to take his son Isaac up the mountain to make a sac- rifce of his son. Te Ten Commandments says obey and respect your Father up in Heaven frst, and then respect and obey your fa- ther and mother. Ten ev- erything should fall into place. Te ffh Sunday, June 29th, is pick your own song day, and Sean Allen will be speaking. Afer church there will a meal in the Monthalia Methodist Par- ish Hall. Te meat will be acquired from the Young Farmers to help them out. Te congregation is sup- posed to bring the rest of the meal. So get out the favorite recipe and let us enjoy it. Hold the following peo- ple in prayer: Judy Wil- son, Rhonda Pruett; Linda Denker; Case Martin; Landis Kern; Joe Kotwig, David ONeal, Gene Rob- inson; Aunt Georgie Gan- dre, Aunt Frances Gandre, Aunt Betty Gandre, Ben and Mabel Richter; Lad- die, Sandi Gandre, Joyce and Danny Schellenberg; Esther Lindemann, Teresa Wilke, Anna Lindemann, Millie, Mr. Bill Lott, Ma- rie Schauer, Bob Young, Marilyn Qualls, Lillie Lay; Shirley Dozier; Bob Brown; Marissa, Bubba, Sarge Dunkin; Pedro; Doro- thy Svoboda; Rosie, Clay, Nancy, Maynard; Denise, Louise Jones; Margie Men- king; Jimmy Kelley; Jesse Esparza; the family of Mary Carolyn Persons; pray for our troops; give our coun- try guidance for the roar- ing violence in Iraq; give thanks for the rain and we could take some more, and a peace of some sort to the confict in Ukraine. It was so nice to see Mar- gie Menking in church Sunday. She is looking so good. Allan Fink had a birthday yesterday along with twin, Lady. We wish both of them many more Happy Birthdays. We lost our precious Mary Carolyn Persons this week. She went through so many adversities and tri- umphed over most of them. She never stopped learning about new things and she kept active as long as she possibly could. I think that was her secret. It was like if she got stopped in one di- rection, she would fnd an- other direction. I think she nearly drove her children crazy with her tenacity but it kept her alive. It made us love her and kept us in her life. And thus we will miss her in the whole of our community. Her children will miss her. She kept us all involved until the end. What a lady! If I told you before, Im sorry; you will just have to hear it again. I am so proud of our cousin Dr. Megan Calk. She now has her Res- idency and Teaching Cer- tifcate and is coming home to Texas. She is searching for a job. Tis degree is in Pharmacy so I am inter- ested as to what kind of job she is angling for. We were informed the last time we picked up meds at HEB in Seguin that they had a Dr. Ofers (sp) on staf now in Seguin. I know that Aunt Mae and Uncle JA would be so proud. I have been told that you can switch from worms when you bait your hook while fshing to grasshop- pers. When you are mow- ing grass, all you need to do is stick your hand up in the air and close it and you will have enough grasshoppers for your fshing trip. Te GVTC retirees had a good time over at the Belmont Social Club with the summer time pic- nic meeting. Tey are all getting a little older. It seems that Ruby and Stan- ley Heinemeyer are in a holding pattern and look about the same except just a little grayer. Charlie Watt is looking good. It was great to see him. Te rib eye steaks melted in your mouth. So what more could you ask for. Kathleen Allen won the 5K walk in her division on early Saturday morn- ing. Each had to decide whether they were going to walk or run and stick to it. Tey could not walk and then half jog. Some al- most crashed in the middle of the walk because of the humidity. Congratulations Kathleen! And our Spurs won. It was awesome. I have never before gotten caught up in a crazy basketball game. I guess it was a good year as they played good and played their hearts bring- ing a new guy to front. It is remarkable how that whole team pulls together and is so happy for their fellow players. Tim Dun- can, Manu, Tony Parker, and Pop are so happy for their MVP Leonard. Tere is no jealousy. Tat is what makes it wonderful. Oh I gave Sweet Pea such a treat this week. I had some freezer burned meat and I shared it with Sweet Pea and her companions. Oh her little tail was wig- gling so fast you couldnt keep up with the wiggle. Biscuit got so happy she did a belly fop. When Bis- cuit does that, she has a hard time getting back up and squeaks in the pro- cess. Tey are supposed to tell on the news how to tell which dog is the bully. I dont need a TV to tell me. Sweet Pea is the bully. Have a good week. God Bless.

Acting President An- drew Schacherl called the meeting into order at 6:30 p.m. All members were present with the exception of Julie Gamez and J.M. Rankin III. Superintendent Trey Lawrence talked about the UIL meeting he had attend- ed the previous two days in Austin.

He concluded by not- ing that politics play a major role in all of the ma- jor decisions. Among the many things discussed one of the bigger topics was how the Shiner School District is growing. One of the main concerns raised by Trustees was that a lot of growth could potentially lead to stafng problems and a tight ft for students throught the grade levels. It was also announced that testing scores for the STAAR Test in SISD were lower then most School Districts in the State of Texas among third graders. Tere are response inteven- tion plans in efect to raise and improve test scores to meet State and District ex- pectations.

Te Guadalupe County Groundwa- ter Conservation District has directed their attorneys to push forward with a lawsuit against Post Oak Clean Green, Inc., a landfll development company. Te District sued the landfll compa- ny in April for failure to comply with the Districts rules when the landfll company applied for a permit to op- erate a landfll on an outcrop of the Upper Wilcox Aquifer. Te Carrizo/Wilcox is one of the States major aquifers and is a signif- cant source of groundwater supply for drinking water, agricultural ir- rigation, and other uses. According to William B. Klemt, the Districts consulting geologist, who has studied the Carrizo/Wilcox aquifer since the early 1960s, siting a landfll over the outcrop of this signifcant source of groundwater presents an unaccept- able risk to our aquifer. Adding to this risk is the history of oil production in the area. Klemt not- ed that the oil felds are very old and contain many artifcial penetrations, which may not have been properly plugged. Tese artifcial penetrations may provide pathways for contami- nants to reach the Wilcox aquifer, exacerbating the risk to groundwater presented by the proposed landfll. Gonzales High School coach Jenna Philips never thought in a thousand years her frst heading coach job would be soccer. Philips was recently named as the head coach for the brand-new GHS girls soccer team that will have its inaugural season during the 2014-15 school year, fol- lowing the addition of soc- cer for both boys and girls. When he was younger, Jacob Staford had an idea about where he wanted to go in the future. Te Shiner Comanche Class of 2014 quarterback- linebacker and baseball standout will be attending the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. It started when I was younger, he said. I was looking for a place where everyone would be on the same mission as me as far as academics and athlet- ics. I thought the Air Force Academy would be the place where I ft in best and excel the most. Staford said he had let- ters of recommendation from United States Senator for Texas, Republican John Cornyn and United States Representative for Texas (Congressional District 27). One of Stafords main reasons for looking into Air Force Academy was the chance to play Division I college football. Staford hopes to make the football team and possibly play at the running back position. Another reason was the academic reputation of the service academy. Air Force Academy aca- demically keeps up with the Ivy League schools, he said. I thought the aca- demics and athletics would be a perfect combination for me. Staford decided to pur- sue entry to Air Force Academy around his sophomore year but did not visit the campus in Co l or a d o Springs un- til recently. I went up there in April of this year. It was the orientation. Got to see the campus, meet a lot of the foot- ball coaches and some of the players. I was able to get a grasp on the entire Air Force Academy., he said. Staford said he feels is up to par with the regiment that comes with attending a service academy or enter- ing into the Armed Forces. M y w h o l e life has b e e n r e g i - mented, Stafford s a i d . My par- ents kept us on a strict rout i ne w h e r e we did c e r t ai n things at a certain time and take care of our respon- sibilities. I think it will be fne. Of course, the mili- tary aspect is diferent than common life but I think I will blend in. Staford said he plans to pursue civil engineering as his career. Cadets at Air Force Academy are required to serve in the US Military following graduation. I am proud to go serve my country and defend my homeland. It will be a great opportunity, he said. Both of Stafords grand- fathers served in the U.S. Navy. Staford helped lead the Shiner Comanche foot- ball to postseason glory all of his three years on varsity, culminating with an appearance in the 2013 Class 1A state champion- ship game in December and played pitcher for the baseball team that has con- sistently made the playofs. He won numerous post- season honors in both sports, including All-State in football.

I thought I would prob- ably get a volleyball head coaching position, she said. But I am excited to do it. Soccer is a fun sport.
Te last couple of years,
Philips has served as an as- sistant to the Lady Apaches volleyball and basketball programs. Now she gets to be in charge. It takes a lot of good organization and manage- ment skills, Philips said. You have to have good communication skills with the other coaches, players and parents. It is a big step up from being an assistant. You have to do budgets, getting kids where they need to be, setting up bus schedules. It is totally new to me but I am excited to do it. Her experience with the sport of soccer comes dur- ing her time at Texas Lu- theran University where she played and ofciated in soccer intramural games. I did not play in high school because we did not have it at the time, Philips said. I know the basics but feel I need to brush up on my skills and the typical training. Te big thing when starting the program is teaching correct funda- mentals because I dont know what kind of talent I will have coming in or what kind of athletes we are going to get. I just have to start at the bottom with the program and work my way up. Philips already has a substantial amount of in- terest for the Lady Apaches soccer team. Right now, I have about 65 girls signed up for the team, she said. We are only going to have one girls team the frst year and keep everyone who comes out for the team. We will rotate all of the players. I will try to keep the players interested because for the 2015 school year, we are going to try to add another team and work our way to have a freshman, JV and Varsity team. Philips said she will probably only take 18-20 players to any given game. Gonzales will not be in district for the frst two seasons and therefore will not be able to make the state playofs. She has already putting together a preliminary schedule for the season. Gonzales will be play- ing Seguin, Smithville, La Grange, Beeville, Pleasan- ton, Rockport-Fulton and La Vernia as part of the tentative schedule for the 2014-15 season. She said the girls that will try out for the team have already been playing in local leagues. I think we will have a decent team with talent, Philips said. She said she is familiar with soccer conditioning because of her studies in college and taking soccer classes as well. Philips recommended to the players to take cross country in the fall to prep them physically for the soccer that begins in De- cember. As far as their weight training, I want them to be strong and powerful, she said. I already planned how the practices are going to be. For the summer, the more touches they get on the ball, the better and that goes for most sports. Philips confrmed that the games will be played at Apache Stadium and may later move to the JB Wells Park when the new felds are completed. Ramirez looking for- ward to being boys coach Greg Ramirez will direct the Apaches soccer team in its frst year as a program. He has never played soc- cer in his life but knows a lot about the sport. I learned a lot about it being around it while in college, he said. But with no playing background, I thought it was going to be hard for me to try to pick it up and learn it. Tat has not been the case because of my involvement in the sport during college. Ramirez said that cur- rently he has 47 or 48 high school males signed up to take part on the team with more getting in touch to see if they can play. He said he wants to have a competing team and a practice team. With those numbers, I do not want to tell any player, well, you cannot play, Ramirez said. Tis is the start of a new pro- gram and I do not want to do that to any of these guys. I am going to group my best players together and then get everyone else for the practice team. Tey will practice against each other. I will be rotating people be- tween both teams. Every- one is going to get to play. Ramirez has coached Little League and other youth sports but this will be his frst coaching po- sition with a high school team. Tere is going to be lots of running (at practices), Ramirez said. It will take a lot for these guys to be well disciplined. I cannot wait until we get into a district where we can go to the same places, He added that high school soccer has been needed for a long time in Gonzales.

Does your life have purpose that brings you great satis- faction and fills you with joy? Is there something you live for that makes you want to get out of bed? Are you looking forward to an eter- nal life in heaven with God, where you can live forever without any more grief, pain or suffering? If not, then what is your reason for liv- ing? Without hope for a magnificent eternal life after your physical body dies, you wont fully enjoy living here and now. If you struggling to make it just one more day here is a formula for last- ing peace of mind and true contentment in your life: 1. LIVE FOR SOMETHING BEYOND YOURSELF. 2. HOPE FOR SOMETHING BEYOND THIS LIFE. Contentment is not found on the path of self-centered- ness; this is a one way street leading to frustration, re- sentment, bitterness and anger. Living solely to please oneself is an exhausting and superficial existence. Our time would be better spent in discovering what really matters for the long haul, and start focusing on doing that instead. If we really want a better life, then our number one priority is to build and de- velop genuine faith in who God is, and in what He has done for us. Belief in a lov- ing, faithful and forgiving God is the only way we can get through this life without losing hope. And a secure connection with Him is the only way to keep our spirits from withering away. With- out this vital spiritual rela- tionship we will go through our lives lost and confused; trying to make things hap- pen by our own limited power, and trying to make sense of things by our own limited understanding. Faith in the truth of scripture is what keeps us on track and away from danger. Unwaver- ing belief that the bible was written by God through di- vine inspiration, and written for our benefit, grounds us firmly to the sole author- ity of what is true, right and good. Its vital to know that our faith is founded rightly, be- cause whatever is deposited into our heart as truth be- comes our base operating system. But knowing our- selves is one of the hardest tasks we will ever undertake because...The human mind is more deceitful than any- thing else. It is incurably bad. Who can understand it. (Jeremiah 17:9). How can we be certain that we arent deceiving ourselves? By taking an honest look at our attitudes when weve been under pressure; taking an honest look at the deci- sions weve made, and where those choices have taken us; then making sure that our behavior lines up with Gods Word. If we are living in qui- et desperation, barely man- aging to keep a grip on our emotions and tormented by our thoughts; then we have been trusting in something other than God. A believers life should re- fect trust in God. Are our actions motivated by faith or fear? Both are the belief that something that hasnt happened is going to hap- pen. Fear is the expectation of something bad happen- ing. Faith is the expectation of something good. Fear and faith cant exist in the same place at the same time. One cancels out the other, and one or the other is going to exist as the plumb line of a persons life. Fear produces a desperate survivalist mentality which keeps us from having the abundant life Jesus made pos- sible. (John 10:9-10) At the cross Jesus pro- claimed... It is fnished. Te Greek word for it is fnished is tetelestai, which means paid in full. Adams disobe- dience was an ofense against God that carried a penalty we couldnt pay. Sin separated us from a holy God, cutting us of from our source of spiri- tual life, and gave Satan au- thority and power over us. Je- sus was declaring victory over Satan, sin, and death. He gave up His physical life so that we could have eternal life; we can be born-again because of His sacrifce. It is fnished means that there is nothing more we can do to be forgiven of our sins. Nothing more we can do to be assured a place in heaven. His death did away with having to obey every letter of the law. He freed us from the bondage of sin and the power of the devil. He freed us from a life of shame, guilt and condem- nation over our past mistakes because His death bought us Gods forgiveness and wiped the slate clean. He freed us living in anxiety or fear be- cause our belief in who He is and what He did re-estab- lished our relationship with God; putting us under His au- thority and protection again. Christ said that He came to make us whole. Wholeness of body, mind and spirit is ours. It is possible to be completely free from whatever has en- slaved us; however, we must believe this to be so and take right action on our belief. How? By making Gods will our frst priority. Tis begins with accepting Jesus as the anchor of our souls, and mak- ing Him the cornerstone of our faith. He is the key that opens the door to our free- dom. Trough Him we will be motivated by love as God di- rected; trusting that there is a good purpose for our exis- tence; and hoping for some- thing far more wonderful waiting for us when our lives here end. God keep you safe till next time... love, eloise Friend me on FB @lovee- loise or visit loveeloise.com Love, Eloise Eloise Estes June 16 was a lovely spring day for members to travel to the old School House in Cistern for a meeting of the Saturn Friendship Club. The rains that had come to the area on Memorial Day, the day after plus the smaller showers that had fallen since had caused the tanks to be fuller, the trees leafier and the pastures more lush. The drive along the rural high- way revealed cattle resting in the shade between graz- ings. As the members arrived, they were greeted by the hostesses for the meeting, Sue Kalinec and Mary Kelly. The meeting table was decorated to carry out the theme for the day, Summer Vacations. It held a vase of wild flowers, a sun visor cap, a souvenir from Sea World and postcards from as far away as Japan and Australia. When nine members and a guest, Carol Campsey, had arrived, the president, Sue Kalinec gave a welcome and asked Nancy Littlefield to say a blessing for the food. The meal included smoked turkey, cranberry sauce, pasta salad, Mandarin Duet salad, red skin potato salad, baked beans, olives, sweet pickles and dill pickles. Dessert was oatmeal/raisin cookies and peanut butter cookies. Drinks of choice were offered. When the meal was fin- ished, the president called the meeting to order. Every- one stood facing the flags of the United States and Texas and with right hand over their heart, they recited the Pledge of Allegiance to each flag. The club prayer was re- cited in unison and the club motto, To make the best better was stated. Devotional leader, Nancy Littlefield asked for healing, strength and comfort for individuals needing prayers, honorary retired members and active members unable to attend the meeting. She also prayed for safe travel for travelers on vacation. Nancys devotional was about the use of a Global Positioning Satellite, GPS, to keep track of where we are and where we want to go. It is also a great way to find restaurants, motels and other places but sometimes it seemed to direct us on a different route than the best route. She added that by fol- lowing the direction on the GPS we can miss interesting villages or beautiful fields of flowers or even a faster, safer way. Sometimes in our lives, we let the culture or what is popular tell us how to live and in doing so we miss the blessings to which following Gods map, the Bible, will lead us. In Isaiah 42:16a, we read, I will lead the blind by a road they do not know, by paths they have not known. I will guide them Perhaps the GPS we use to guide our lives should be Gods Posi- tioning System rather than what our culture tells us. When in doubt, use Gods map! Then she prayed, Lord God, sometimes we can be blind even when we can see. Help us to listen to Your guidance and seek Your ways in everything we do and everywhere we go. You have provided the perfect plan and the correct route for our lives. Dont let us ever forget that! We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Roll Call was answered by each lady telling where her dream vacation would take her. Alaska was the top choice followed, in no particular order, by West Virginia, England, Iceland, The Caves of Senora and Old Mexico, Branson, MO, a three week trip across the United States seeing points of interest along the way. Last but not least a trip on the Orient Express from Bu- dapest to Paris. Some ladies dream bigger than others! Secretary, Sandy Parr read the minutes of the last two meetings. They were ap- proved as read. The Trea- surers report was accepted as presented. There was no Old Busi- ness. Final plans for the Salad Luncheon in July were completed. The business session was adjourned. The hostesses combined the program for the day and the game for the day in a unique, informative, interesting and enjoyable way. Each person received a printout of the United States of America with nothing identified. Sue Kalinec stat- ed, We are going on a paper vacation across this map of the USA. Our journey will be starting in the City of Brotherly Love which is the home of the Liberty Bell. Make a dot at this spot on the map. She then gave bits of information about Val- ley Forge National Historic Park, Liberty Bell Center and Independence Hall. She continued by saying,Traveling across the US, we want to visit the Muir Woods. To get there, one has to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Please draw a straight line from the start- ing point to our new desti- nation. Some sights to ex- plore are John Muir Woods, Alcatraz Island, San Fran- cisco, where we can ride the cable cars, visit China Town, Haight-Ashbury and Golden gate Park. The next stop is where your left foot is in the Peach State, your right foot is in the Sunshine State and your fishing line is in an Ocean. Another dot and another straight line connecting it to the last stop. Facts were given about Georgia, Florida and St. Augustine, which is the oldest continually inhabited, European founded city in the US. It is commonly known as the Nations Oldest City. Next, grab a jacket and head north of the Mt. Rush- more State to the state called the Peace Garden State. Along the way to this states most northern border, we visit the Badlands, The Ted- dy Roosevelt National Park to the International Peace Gardens. Another dot and another straight line. No jackets needed on the next stop, so we donate them to the Knife River Indian Village. Now, we continue on our journey so that we ar- rive in Yuma, called Arizona City in 1871. The name was changed to Yuma in 1873. There we see both the Paint- ed Desert and the Petrified Forest. A dot and line are drawn. The last leg of our vacation takes us to our Nations capi- tol. Please draw the last line. So many places to visit here, The National Mall, Memo- rial Parks, Fords Theater, the house where Lincoln died, FDR Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Washington Mon- ument, WWII Memorial and many others. If all the dots were in the correct place and there were straight lines drawn to con- nect them, we saw a star had been drawn. Sue ended by saying, Our vacation has come to an end and although we have crisscrossed this great nation of ours, it is best to come home to Texas, Our Lone Star State! What a delightful, enter- taining Geography lesson we had. Della Mae Urban and Car- ol Campsey won door prizes which were a childs sand bucket filled with travel size items handy and useful on a vacation. Each lady also re- ceived a hand knitted Travel Blossom to be used for lug- gage identification. The Salad Luncheon will be at 1 oclock on July 21 at the Cistern School House. Each lady will bring a favor- ite meat, vegetable or fruit salad. An Ice Cream Sun- dae Bar will be furnished by Mary Kelly and Sue Kalinec so that each member can create an ice cream sundae of her choice. Lost all white male English Retriever. Name - Indy 2 yrs.

While you may suspect they have ulterior motives, their kindness really is noth- ing more than good will. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, approach your workload with an optimistic attitude this week. You can expect your eforts to produce positive results that dont go unnoticed. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It is an uphill battle to focus on chores this week, Gemini. You would rather be out hav- ing fun, but putting of chores now will only lead to more work down the road. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, although you are capable of keeping up ap- pearances this week, you will be lost in your own thoughts. Personal issues prove to be a distraction. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, serve as a diplomat this week, placing yourself in the middle of confict because you want to help. Keep a level head and dont get swept into the argument. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your ability to focus is very strong, but this week you cannot seem to get your mind to cooperate. You may have a million things to think about. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You are tempted to join the party this week, even though you know it is probably a bet- ter idea to decline. But the prospect of socializing and having a good time is too tempting. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you ofen feel un- comfortable when you have too many loose ends. It may take quite a while this week to wrap up all of your obligations before you can relax. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/ Dec 21 Sagittarius, the more you ponder the decisions you have to make, the more you strug- gle to determine a positive outcome. Give yourself some breathing room. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Career issues must be dealt with, Capricorn. You may have been running through various options, and if you have reached a decision, then go with your gut instincts. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, although every- one around you seems to be stressing out, for some reason you are able to breeze through your days without a worry in the world. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Your intuition is telling you to proceed with caution, Pi- sces. Watch where you step, but dont let caution take over your life.

Hours Mon.-Fri. 8am-5pm Sat. 8am-12pm The Cannon Page B12 Cannon Comics It was novelist Tom Clancy who made the following sage observation: Te diference between fction and reality? Fiction has to make sense. Charlie Chan, the fctional Honolulu detective, was created in 1919 by novelist Earl Derr Biggers. Te books featuring Chan became so popular that the character made the leap to radio, movies and television. Over the years, 13 actors have portrayed the detective, but not one of them has been of Chinese ancestry. Rattlesnakes can live up to 20 years. When the TV sitcom Te Addams Family was being cast in the early 1960s, actor John Astin came in to audition for the role of Lurch, the cadaverous butler. He was immediately rejected for the part. As he was leaving the room, though, the producer spotted him, pulled him aside, and immediately ofered him the role of Gomez -- the lead. All he had to do was grow a mustache. Te nation of France was still executing people with the guillotine until 1977. In 1973, Te Who began a major U.S. tour with a show in San Francisco. As the show was starting, though, drummer Keith Moon collapsed. He was revived, but then collapsed once more. At that point, in an unprecedented move, Pete Townsend asked for volunteers from the audience. Scott Halprin, a 19-year-old aspiring drummer, jumped at the chance. He played three numbers with the band, and lead singer Roger Daltry later told Rolling Stone magazine, Tat drummer was really good. Milk produced by a hippopotamus mother is pink. *** Tought for the Day: In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, its the exact opposite. -- Paul Dirac Puzzle Answers From Page B11 Thursday, June 19, 2014 Sports page sponsored by: Holiday Finance Corporation 830-672-6556 1-888-562-6588 506 St. Paul., Gonzales, TX. 78629 Serving Texas for over 40 Years!
