Gonzales controversial ordinance regulating garage sales remained in place after City Council voted Tuesday to reject a petition calling for its repeal, but at least one councilman said hes willing to work with the organizers of the petition drive to perhaps amend the ordinance. The council voted unanimously to reject the petition on the recommendation of city attorney Jackie Williamson. Williamson said the petition did not contain the signatures of enough registered voters living within city limits, based on the last contested municipal election -- an opinion she
said was double-checked through legal contacts with the Texas Municipal League. I rendered an opinion and the TML rendered an opinion that was the same as mine, she said. The petition was signed by 417 people, but only 365 turned out to be registered voters living within the city limits. To force the council to act on repealing the ordinance, the petition needed to be signed a number equal to by 20 percent of the number of voters who cast ballots in the last contested city election. The 2011 elections were canceled because no candidates were opposed. The ordinance limits Gonzales residents to two garage or yard sales per year and requires a city permit and fee to hold one. It was enacted because some residents were holding garage PETITION, Page A3

Unanticipated revenue increases from oil and gas royalties and sales taxes will help provide a pay bonus for City of Gonzales employees. Gonzales City Council on Tuesday approved an ordinance pro-
viding a one-time pay increase for city employees based on longevity. The increase would be $4 per month of employment, a total cost of $43,675. Its been since 2008 that the employees got a pay raise, City Manager Allen Barnes said. This would send a huge message to our
employees that they are appreciated. Barnes told the council that the city has experienced unexpected increases in oil and gas royalties as well as a sharp increase in state sales-tax income. Mayor Bobby ONeal noted that the increase is not a permanent one, and can be
revisited in future budgets. The measure passed without objection. Those oil and gas revenues may be further augmented soon, as well. During the public comment portion of the meeting, the council received a lease proposal from GONZALES Page A3

WAELDER The Waelder City Council unanimously agreed to help finance the operations of a local childrens advocacy center during their regular meeting Tuesday
night. The council voted to issue $1,500 to the Gonzales Regional Childrens Advocacy Center, an organization that helps children who are victims of abuse and/or neglect. The entity, better known as Normas House, is one of only 64 of its kind in the
state of Texas. We already work closely with Chief (Jim) Taylor and the Waelder Police Department in helping children who have been victims of abuse, whether its sexual, physical or drug-endangered, said program coordinator/forensic inter-
viewer Tiffany Collie. We provide counseling services and we have a family advocate who works with the families on providing anything they may need. Normas House is a non-profit organization and Collie explained to WAELDER, Page A3

Today in Texas History

November 03, 1891 On this day in 1891, construction began on the Pecos High Bridge in Val Verde County. Completed in early 1892, this structure was actually the second bridge built to serve trains traveling on the Southern Pacifics Sunset Route, and the new crossing greatly shortened the route of the rail line. Located at a deep gorge of the Pecos River, the mammoth structure was an engineering marvel supported by twenty-four towers and spanning a total length of 2,180 feet. Rising 321 feet above the river, the bridge was the highest railroad bridge in North America and third highest in the world. Judge Roy Bean of nearby Langtry served as coroner for workers killed during its construction. The Pecos High Bridge towered as a landmark for many years until a new bridge, located 440 feet downstream, opened in 1944.

I remember just lying in the grass, staring at the clouds, wondering where they drifted off to after they floated over Texas. I never would have imagined that one day I would follow one of those clouds and find myself in Hollywood.

on Sunday, October 30, 2011, with his brother, David Russell Remschel of Abilene, serving as Master of Ceremonies. His Eagle Scout project consisted of putting four newly-constructed metal benches around the Fredericksburg Primary School track. They were primed, painted, and put into the ground twenty-eight inches deep. After they were leveled, concrete was placed in the holes to make sure they were secure. A border, filled with crushed granite, was then put around the benches to give them a finished look. Richard was assisted by members of Troop 135, family, and friends. After receiving his Eagle Scout awards at the church, a reception followed in St. Josephs Hall where guests enjoyed refreshments of an assortment of meats and cheeses, Texas Chex Mix, grapes, cookies, and punch. A cake, decorated with the Eagle Scout Medal and bordered in red, white and blue, was also served. The registration table was centered with an eagle statuette and featured pictures of Richard as a young scout to his latest honor, the Eagle Scout Award. Another table featured memorabilia that Richard has collected in his 11 years of scouting, from his time as a Cub Scout to his trip to the Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. The hall carried out the red, white, and blue theme with balloons and his boy scout caps decorating the tables, and flags and bunting placed around the

We were thinking you had to do this within 30 days of the ordinance being passed, but theres no (time) limit, he said. Opponents of the ordinance have also argued that the city already had an ordinance in place regulating garage sales and simply needed to enforce it. Texas Comptroller Susan Combs has also posted on her agencys website a legal opinion that persons holding more than two garage or yard sales per calendar year are operating a business and should be paying state sales taxes.

Being professional: no cheering in the press box

We hear a lot of talk these days about media bias, and while that is usually directed toward coverage of politics, its important to note that political writers are not alone when it comes to accusations of favoritism. Had a fan stop me after one of the football games I covered earlier this season and ask why I wasnt celebrating with everyone else. I told him a tale of my early days in this business. Years ago, I was covering a game for the Rosenberg Herald-Coaster between the Houston Oilers and Cleveland Browns at the Astrodome. As the game developed, the Oilers mounted a comeback to overtake the Browns. One of the amenities of a Houston Oiler press box back then was the novelty of courtesy beer. And as the Oilers rallied to take the lead, an increasing amount of noise came from one end of the press box. Following one particularly inter-

esting string of vulgarities directed at the Browns, the Oilers PR man, Chip Namias, slipped over to ask the overly-vocal sports writer which newspaper he happened to be working for. My friend got me this pass, hes down on the field taking photos, the guy responded. This is great, even if everyone else up here isnt an Oilers fan. In other words, he wasnt even a member of the media, and his sportswriting friend had given him credentials which were by definition reserved exclusively for
members of the working news media. Both were removed from the stadium, post-haste and his friends newspaper was banned from the press box for several years. There is cardinal rule of professional sports journalism: No cheering in the press box. And the press box includes the sidelines and locker rooms. The point becomes pertinent because of the phone calls were getting concerning the conduct of other journalists, in particular the use of vulgarity directed toward referees and even opposing players and coaches. You will never hear me nor anyone working for me launch a series of F-bombs when were on the sidelines of a game were working, especially when were around so many impressionable children. I cant speak to the training and experience of those working for other publications, but Ive spent 35 years in this business and can
assure you that such conduct is considered unprofessional and immature. We old-timers refer to it as homer-ism, as in: Joe is such a homer. Continuously covering one town, one school or one team lends an air of familiarity and emotional attachment. The trick is to remember that you are a professional. Its certainly not limited to small markets. Youll recall the story of Sports Illustrateds Tom Bowles, who lost his job for cheering in the press box during the Daytona 500. A sports writer covering a game wearing media credentials is there as a neutral observer. Although his coverage will no doubt be geared for fans of one team, in all other respects it should and must adhere to the standards of the profession: it should be truthful, unbiased and honest. As noted by Pam Modarelli Hegner in Sports Journalism 101:
No Cheering in the Press Box and Other Unwritten Rules, Sports is pure emotion - but as journalists we have to step back and get out of fan mode. As a journalist, we cover events to document them for history. Those reading or viewing our coverage should know that we have attempted to convey the results of a sporting event as honestly and truthfully as possible. We are not there to lead cheers. We are not there to officiate the game; if we want to do that, we need to be wearing the striped shirts. As Hegner notes, its hard not to become attached to the team, athlete or even coach you cover regularly. And yes, its easier (and much more fun) to cover a winner than it is to cover a team that goes 0-10. But if he wants to cheer, the writer should turn in his press pass, buy a ticket and sit in the stands like everyone else.
The phrase by any means necessary has been a favorite for liberals since the early seventies. That phrase is now being implemented to change Americas social, economic, and political institutions in a very sinister way. It is not enough for liberal politicians to push government regulations to extent of strangling business growth and development. Its also not enough to push their social agenda by telling religious institutions who to employ or what to teach. But perhaps the worst is in the realm of politics. We saw an indication of things to come when New Black Panther Party thugs stood outside a poll and openly intimidated voters in 2008. We got a better view of Obamas progressive world when the Justice Department failed to prosecute anyone involved. Then we had Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (DCA) who was then the House Speaker, helping to push Obama-care through Congress, and then admitting lets pass it so we know whats in it! Most recently, we had Fast and Furious when the DEA sold guns to Mexican criminals under the direction of Obama Administration leaders,
Leftists taking By any means necessary to a new level: threats

with the goal of provoking a public backlash against gun sales and gun ownership. Now we have the latest and worst incarnation of lefts efforts to change America, Occupy Wall Street. It has not been enough to clog streets, to dirty public places, and to engage in violent and anti-social behavior, but now the demonstrators are threatening private homes. Earlier this month, Occupy Wall Street demonstrators marched to the homes of JP Morgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon, News Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch, industrialist David Koch and financier John Paulson. They have also targeted many others such as editor Arianna Huffington, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and House Speaker John Boehner. This is a new and disturbing trend of send-
ing protestors to peoples homes. This is not a new phase of protest, but good old fashioned mob intimidation. Liberals have made it clear that private property is a problem in their attempt to redistribute wealth and restructure social, economic and political institutions. These demonstrations appear to be the first steps toward attacking people in their homes on their private property. The demonstrators and their supporters, including Obama, suggest that these protests are part of our American political tradition of dissent. But the iconic anti-war and civil rights rallies that inspired their demonstrations occurred at college campuses, historic sites and other public places. Protesting at a persons homes is not about asserting an opinion. It is a warning of potential violence. It implies, were outside your house because were angry enough to hurt you unless you do what we want. It is ironic that these are the same people who push political correctness, but yet behave so poorly. If protesting outside one persons home is allowed to continue, where will it end? Civilized people of all political beliefs should demand an end to it.
Proficient, but unloved

It might have been Mitt Romneys most revealing moment in all the Republican debates. Badgered by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who was continually interrupting him, Romney appealed to CNN moderator Anderson Cooper to reassert the rules of the debate: Anderson? That one-word plaint could stand for all of Romneys straight-arrowness. It is a virtue and a curse. Scandal and Romney are two words you expect never to have to see in a sentence together. Hes every bit as upstanding as you would expect from a former Mormon bishop, a father of five and grandfather of 16. Romney is a familiar type. Weve all known the guy who sits in the front of the classroom and raises his hand to answer every question. We might admire him, or envy him, but we probably dont like him. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the technical proficiency Romney has exhibited during the debates. There is no question for which he doesnt have a ready, sometimes sophisticated answer. Whenever challenged -- especially by Perry -- he almost always bests his opponent. Hes like a boxer with a couple of extra inches on his reach com-

pared with everyone else. Even when another candidate is talking, hes perfected a look of patient, benign attentiveness. Whats missing, as usual with Romney, is a sense of warmth and heartfelt conviction. When Bill Clinton was confronted by someone with a sympathetic story, his reflex was to go in for a hug. Romneys reflex is to go in for a crisp explanation of whatever is his relevant policy position, delivered smoothly and cogently, if distantly. Its as if he sees people as inputs into his hard drive from which he reliably downloads the most appropriate intellectual output. Romney talks of how he loves data, and his ability to master it is one of his foremost strengths. Data doesnt move people, though. The difference between Herman Cain, who has generated spontaneous excitement, and Mitt Romney is captured in their economic
plans. Cains depends on three simple numbers, 999, that have captured the imagination of a slice of the Republican electorate. In what he admits is almost a self-parody, Romney has a 59-point plan that hasnt made an impression on anyone. Cains fearlessly bold plan is badly flawed and would almost certainly blow up in a general election. Romneys plan is carefully crafted for maximum survivability. Romney has a likability and trust gap. Its one reason hes been near the top of the field all year yet has never opened up the kind of lead traditionally associated with front-runners. If Republican voters conclude theres no one else in the field who is plausible as president or a general-election candidate, Romney will win, but it will be an act of calculation rather than passion. A former management consultant who couldnt rabble-rouse if he wanted to, Romney would be a most unusual vessel for a party overflowing with populist enthusiasms. Romney can impress, but he doesnt naturally inspire or connect. That leaves an opening for others, even as he executes nearly flawlessly.

Here are a few tidbits, all true I kid you not, my little mind has registered in the past few weeks via perusing the periodicals and papers: Lets start off with a test on selfcontrol. Evergreen Park High School in Illinois has announced
that students would be allowed to leave class to go to the bathroom only three times per semester. Students who need to pee more often will have to make up class time after school. Wheres a GPS when we need it? A family in Danvers, Mass., had to call 911 when they couldnt find their way out of a seven-acre corn maze. Im really scared.

Foundations vision aims to promote hospital growth

There are so many exciting plans and recent developments at the hospital unveiling a future of promise ensuring high quality healthcare facilities. The hospital has endorsed the vision and focus of an active Foundation (Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation a 501(c)3 organized in 2008) to fund projects outside of the general operating budget of the hospital. These projects require funding from donations and contributions made by individuals and businesses passionate about giving back to the community by investing their resources towards advances in medical technology. This technology offers our hospital to afford a step up in quality healthcare. These gifts are gifts for life and give back to the entire community. The first step in achieving the goals for the Foundation was to develop the board. Recently, the hospital board made seven (7) new appointments to the Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation Board. New members are Elaine Baker, Tommy Cox, Brian Fees, Laurel Ince, John Lambrecht Jon Such and Bill Tate. The existing Board members included Barry Miller-President, Lisa Gindler VP, Barbara Koricanek, Secretary Treasurer and Kris McLain. The new appointments were all welcomed by the existing Board at their October 19 th board meeting. The board meeting featured a healthcare presentation by Chief of Staff - Commie Hisey who explained to the board the challenges hospitals and healthcare are facing today. With the rising number of these challenges affecting funding a hospital foundation becomes more and more vital to maintaining quality healthcare. Dr. Hisey stated he enjoys working in a rural community hospital and did not desire to practice in a metropolitan facility. His feelings remain strong that he gives patients the medical care they deserve with a much more personable touch. He reaches great reward in knowing most of his patients treated in the hospital are the same patients he treats at Sievers Medical Clinic and this gives a huge advantage to comprehensive healthcare. He commended each of the board members for dedicating their time and energies to this board as their work and success will bring success for our hospital and healthcare. He further stated he was available to them at any time should they have questions and wanted each one to know he was in strong support of this Foundation. Present CEO and hospital administrator, Chuck Norris, addressed the group with updates on current healthcare issues and gave the history on how and why the Foundation was organized. He also informed them of the John Fritz Memory Garden project currently in process at the hospital which is a Foundation project. Sascha Kardosz -Director of Marketing reported on some of the Specialty Clinics she has implemented and highlighted the addition of our fulltime general surgeon, Dr. Kathleen Koerner. All of the board members were appreciative for the opportunity to work together to improve healthcare for their community. I shared with
butt, come on, said Warriner, 22, after his arrest for willful exposure. You see it on TV all the time, but yet its an offense to the queen? Conveniently finding a cell home. Ronald Wade, 31, applied for a job as a jailer in Warren County, Miss. During his background check, police found that Wade was wanted for DUI manslaughter in Florida, so he was arrested and jailed. What is it about the printed word? The average SAT reading score for the graduating class of 2011 is 497 the lowest since 1972. It pays to be voted in. Sixtyeight U.S. lawmakers made a total of at least $27.5 million through side jobs last year, on top of their $174,000 salaries. The outside earnings more than four times higher than they were in 2006 came from
activities that ranged from owning Subway restaurant franchises to selling chestnuts. Now is this not a wild and wacky world we inhabit? Or not? Consider this on playing with ones emotions. And its Only in America, says The Week magazine, where a few of these tidbits were lifted in several past issues. Hallmark has introduced a line of sympathy cards for people who have just been fired. Dont think of it as losing your job reads one. Think of it as a time out between stupid bosses. Hallmark said the cards were designed to help the unemployed focus on the hopeful side of things. Hopeful side of things? Hey, we always hope for the best, and if we get it we have a tendency to hope for something better down the road.

Dear Editor, The Eagle Ford Task Force created by Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter lists advisements on policies for truck traffic and pipelines. When is the Task Force going to advise the operators concerning the risk of water well contamination due to poor drilling practices? The crooked hole problem was covered by Arthur Lubinski in the IADC Drilling Manual in the early 1960s. Crooked holes prevent the obtaining of a secure bond/seal between the casing and the wellbore. The TRC Task Force has been informed repeatedly of the associated risk of water well contamination. Water well contamination in the city of Dimock, Pennsylvania and Parker County, Texas was a national event. The Eagle Ford area is subject to the same risk. Lubinskis recommended packed bottom hole assembly drills a straight, full gauge, useful hole free of ledges, offsets, spirals and keyseats insuring a secure bond/seal between the casing and the wellbore.

Halloween traffic was frightful
Dear Editor, After being out in that mess of cars on St. Vincent and Fair street last night I have to say that traffic was far worse without the roads being blocked last night then they were with. Its a good thing that no emergencies came up because they (EMT,Fire or police) would not have been able to get through. It was very dangerous with all the cars driving through and the 1000+ people walking on the streets and the 100+ of cars driving. Its a miracle someone didnt get hurt. I hope the city will rethink not blocking off the roads next year. Jenny Nesser Gonzales via gonzalescannon.com
Romberg house man- Freedom of, not from, religious beliefs ager Dear Editor, For those that need a refresher course: doing a great job
Dear Editor, We have had good fortune at the Romberg House for quite a few years now, and I am proud to say that the past year with Melanie Petru as manager has certainly portrayed the image I expected for this residence. As many of you know, I could not have found a more compassionate and sincere person to promote my focus of personal care. From the very start Melanie has embraced the non-institutional approach to aging, and maintained our lovely home in a residential neighborhood. She is naturally clear on my attention to social, psychological and physical changes associated with aging, and promotes the notion that this is the residents home. Although our policy of affordability has been maintained with no additional hidden fees, Melanie has shown the largest appeal to the Romberg House is still the personal relationships (which people cannot live without) formed inside this house. Throughout the year Melanie has developed those relationships while providing a safe, residential environment. She realizes that we are not there to change peoples lifestyles, but to help continue the meaningful life they have always led. She has as-

the board some of the upcoming events being planned to support the $409,325.00 needed in funding our current project, Digital Mammography. In November the hospital will be displaying a donor wall proudly presenting members of the community who give a tax deductible donation of $5,000.00 or more to the foundation. This dedication will be named the Wall of Honor. The Wall of Honor may reflect the name of the family who is making the contribution or they may choose to honor someone else in their family by naming them on the plaque. A hospital Wall of Honor is a common dedication seen in many hospitals today. What a wonderful way to pay tribute to your loved one by making a charitable donation in their name and give the gift of life This is a gift that will . benefit healthcare today and tomorrow as it provides for an improved quality of life for the entire community. The board is confident that our local residents are committed to quality when it comes to healthcare. This donation is one of a kind by touching every person who resides here and seeks healthcare here. There are few gifts given that last beyond our lifetime and give to the entire community. With these thoughts in mind the board then adopted their Mission Statement as: Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created to administer charitable gifts, philanthropic contributions and raise funds to be faithful in providing Gonzales County and surrounding communities with the very best in healthcare. The Foundation is passionate about delivering the financial resources needed to secure qualified physicians, state of the art equipment and medical services promoting health and well-being to all patients served. It is rare to give a gift that lasts beyond our lifetime as we care for others and offer hope for future generations. this rare gift is found by giving to Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation. To make your donation for the Wall of Honor supporting Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation you may mail your tax deductiable donation to: Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation P.O. Box 587 Gonzales, Texas 78629 Please call Connie Kacir Executive Director at (830)672-8758 if you would like to discuss other giving opportunities.

Year: 15,400 Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers were steady to 2.00 higher on a much lighter test of current FOB cattle.

Antiques, crafts at Barn Sale Saturday at J.B. Wells

The holidays are coming, and that means time to shop and festively decorate your homes. Sat. Nov. 5, marks the 4th annual Barn Sale. The fun, community event has grown in size each year, with vendors traveling from across the state Literally. Some vendors come from Nederland, Colorado City, Glen Rose, and Rivera. The event will be held at J.B. Wells showbarn in Gonzales, with vendors displaying their creativity and unique finds. Many local vendors from Gonzales County will be selling their wares and sharing their talents also. The inspiration for the event began with an article, sparking an idea in Suzanne Sextons creative mind. About five years ago she read a story about a Barn Sale in the Northeast which highlighted local vendors and their wares. It sounded perfect for this area, and she gathered some friends to help organize and promote the first sale at her barn in November 2008. That first sale hosted mainly local vendors with about five from out of town. Word has now spread far and wide as Suzanne and her sister-in-law Tracy, known as The Girls at Rusted Gingham, have made contacts through friends, friends of friends and a lot of vendors at other antique and trade shows including Warrenton/Round Top. There will be a wide variety of products for sale, including antiques, vintage retro furniture, vintage kitchenware, painted chicken nesters, woven shawls, handpainted crosses, decorated clothing, headwraps, honey, jams and preserves, silver coins, pillowcase dresses, repurposed jewelry, hand strung jewelry, collectables and Christmas items. This list is just a sample of what will be under the barn, Sexton said. We want our visitors and customers to have a wide variety to choose from, and for it to be a great shopping experience. The barn sale will include food from several vendors with snack items, sweets and homemade breads. The J.B. Wells concession stand will be run by the Gonzales County A&M Club. They are hosting a Tamale and Chili Fandango Fundraiser. The Club is pre-selling Delicious Tamales for $9 per dozen with proceeds going into the scholarship fund to send local students off to college. Tamales will be sold the day of the sale for $9 per dozen and also with choices of 1, 2 or 3 tamales with chili and Frito Pie will be on the menu as well. If you would like to pre-order please call Guadalupe Valley Vet Clinic at (830) 672-8676. This year the Girls at Rusted Gingham are hoping to help fill the local food pantry. Canned goods or other non-perishable food donations will be accepted for $1 off admission. Entry to this years event is $3 for adults- Adorable children under 18 are Free! Entry for $2 if you bring 2 canned goods! Help us help the community in time for the holidays. The Girls like to promote Gonzales for all the out of town shoppers that are coming.

in on the fun by having a drawing for a Lynn Haney Santa- This year, The Inn at Laurel Ridge will be giving away a One Night stay in the Historic home. Laurel Ridge Christmas will be giving away a 25th Anniversary Lynn Haney ornament as well. The Hearty Gourmet will be giving away a great gift tooall shoppers are required to do is to make it into each of those locations and sign up for the prize drawing both of the drawings will be held around 4:30 p.m. that afternoon (once the barn sale is closed for the day.) Our desire is for all shops in town to welcome out of town guests anytime they are here and to make them glad to be in Gonzales. The hope is that shoppers and vendors that come from out of town will appreciate our historic and beautiful downtown and leave with fond memories that make them want to come back! There will also be a giveaway from The Junk Gypsies, a trio of Texas gals in Round Top who have recently signed on with HGTV to promote using junk, and funky antiques to decorate your home. That is another way of salvaging items from the past and making them functional today. The Gypsies have been salvaging for years and their customer base loves their design work. Now the rest of the world will be able to see it too. We hope you can come out and visit with the Girls at Rusted Gingham and all the other vendors at the Barn Sale, Sat., Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Happy shopping.

The Shiner Heritage Quilt Car rides againand this time it is going to the Houston International Quilt Festival at the George Brown Convention Center in Houston on November 3 - 5. The festival is the oldest and largest quilt show in the country and attracts over 60,000 visitors from around the world. Attendees will be able to take their pictures with the famous quilt car as a special remembrance of their visit to the show. Needless to say, Shiner Heritage Quilters, whose members are from Shiner and the surrounding towns, were thrilled to receive the invitation to feature their special car in such a prestigious show. The quilted car cover that fits snugly on a 96 Blazer, was lovingly made by members of the Shiner Heritage Quilters Guild as a special addition to their first quilt show, Spring into Quilting in 2009. Since then the quilt car has won awards in area parades, been recognized as the 2009 Best National Quilting Idea Ever by C & T Publishing Co., and featured at the Supper Quilt Exhibit and 2010 Spring into Quilting show as well as various Guild events and in newspaper publications. In addition, the Festival organizers have arranged for the quilt car to be a special highlight at the grand opening of the Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange on November 13th. This quilt car has truly become a Shiner Heritage Quilters Trademark! (Courtesy Photo)

Nixon First Baptist welcomes Linton as churchs new pastor

By KEY GARNER
Cannon Correspondent
The Cannon
Page B3
Nixon First Baptist Church welcomed Rev. Michael Linton as its new pastor in October. The family is finally moved into the parsonage from their former home in Kingwood, a suburb of northeast Houston, and he is ready to lead him new congregation. Rev. Linton (who prefers to be called Michael) sees the churchs role as that of reaching out to the community, and, in turn, far beyond the reach one may be able to see. The mission of the church is to spread the gospel. He believes there is a growth potential of eight to ten percent at Nixon First Baptist and envisions attendance on Sunday morning reaching 130140. Linton is enthused about becoming part of a town with a population less than 3,000. He sees it as an opportunity for building relationships rather than existing

in a state of anonymity, the emotional state prevalent in urban areas and mega churches. While discussing the possibility of facing resistanceto-change as a new pastor, Linton quoted Dr. John Bisagno, pastor emeritus of First Baptist Church in Houston and a co-professor of his, when asked the same question: No! Absolutely not (at forcing change)! If nobodys following you, youre not leading. The solution offered by Bisagno for affecting change was the use of prayer, time, and then barreling through, if necessary. Linton believes he has been called to minister to a city; he has been called to reach out to a city with the church as the command post. Other than theological ones, there are no standards at the door limiting attendance or membership all are invited and all are welcome. His spiritual gifts include teaching, being an admin-
A travelers guide to the Bible

Lets pretend that I am a travel agent. You want to travel to 66 cities in Europe and have come to get my help. My job is to plan and organize your trip in such a pleasurable way that you will want to make return visits. The first thing I will do is to familiarize you with a map of the region, teaching you how to read it, so that you can readily locate any place you wish to visit. For example, to find the city of Corinth and locate the 42nd house on 17th street, you would go to the modern district of the map and look for Corinth 17:42. Ill explain how the region is divided up into two distinct districts. A historical district composed of 39 cities; whose residents speak ancient Hebrew and ancient Aramaic. And, a modern district, composed of 27 cities, where Koene Greek is spoken. Since these languages are not used any other place in the world, I will give you the names of some reliable translators that will help you communicate effectively while youre there. I will also give you a few other resources to help you understand the local culture. Now take these concepts and apply them to your Bible. The 66 cities of this example are the books of the bible. There are 39 books in the Old Testament, 27 books in the New Testament. The historical district in this example is the Old Testament. The modern
istrator, and his talent for adaptability. He is intrigued with the desire to be put in a situation where he can use undiscovered talents. Another thought that influences Lintons approach to his ministry is if your church was totally removed tomorrow, would anybody miss it other than church members? He views his role as that of leading souls to Christ; he understands that people must be comfortable with him and Nixon First Baptist Church for that to
happen. He is a graduate of Texas A&M-Texarkana, but identifies with LSU, where most of his BA studies occurred Please do NOT call me an Aggie! He earned his masters degree at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Etta, were married at their home church after their mothers plotted their dating. They home school their two sons Jamie, who is eight-years-old and Jaden, who is five.

district is the New Testament. The cities are the books of the bible, streets are chapters, and houses are verses. Traveling through the pages of the Christian bible is a lot like visiting a foreign country. Its easy to get lost when we have limited knowledge regarding the language and customs of the people we are visiting. There are cultural, geographical and historical differences between ancient and modern man that have created an understanding gap that must be bridged in order to fully understand what God wants us to know. Bridging those differences means getting acquainted with what people wore and ate; how they made their living; how they traveled; what animals and plants lived in the area; how they expressed themselves through art; what religious significance certain objects had for them; how they related to one another socially; whether they were an agricultural or industrial society; the geography and climate of their area, and their political structure. All of these areas impacted their perspective on the world and God. In order to fully enjoy your

Nothing Can Separate Us

Greetings in the name of the Lord! I pray that you all are blessed and well. This week we will wrap up our study of Romans chapter 8. I trust that it has been as fruitful a study for you as it has been for me. If I could only have one chapter from all the scriptures this would be it. So lets dive in one final time, at verses 37-39. Romans 8:37-39 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
visits through biblical times, you have to understand what you are reading. The original books of the bible were written in languages that are not commonly spoken in the world today. Therefore, a means of understanding vocabulary, grammar, figures of speech, and literary style becomes necessary. No serious Bible traveler would ever go on a trip through time without his translators: 1. A concordance lists every Bible reference for any word, character, place, or topic mentioned. 2. A Bible dictionary and a Lexicon explain the original meanings of the Hebrew or Aramaic words in the Old Testament and of the Greek words in the New Testament, which were translated into English. 3. An archeology of the Bible lands, Bible atlas, and a Handbook to the Bible describe ancient customs, geography and the history of the Bible. Whenever reading a chapter or a verse, ask yourself questions like these: To whom is God speaking? Who or what is He talking about? What is the key message? What does the verse teach about Jesus? Does the verse expose personal sin that I need to acknowledge and abandon? Does it contain a command for me to obey? Does it give a promise I could claim?
Write down your findings in a journal or notebook. Write down and carry verses that speak to you memorize them. You will be surprised how they will come to mind when you need them the most. God has gone to great lengths to communicate His will to us in the Bible. Your efforts to seek His will in your life should not be frustrated because you are confused, or bored to tears. If the wording of your bible causes you to lose interest within the first five minutes, then get one that makes sense to you. There are modern translations of the Bible that will appeal to even the least scholarly among us. Choosing a Bible that is easy for you to read stirs up the desire to make many return visits into scripture; which is vital to your spiritual survival. Believe Gods promises and begin to obey and apply His commands. Learn to open the door to Gods truth so that His Living Word can begin to revitalize your mind and enliven your spirit. Christ himself told us that everyone who puts His words into practice is like a wise man who builds his house on the rock. Matt 7:24 You will need strong faith to withstand the many pressures you will face in this life. Remember, thisfaith is as strong as the foundation on which it is built. love, eloise
Under His Wings
Patrick Whitehead
In the verses previous to this Paul was speaking of various trials that we may encounter and in this conclusion he will show us that nothing can ever separate believers from the love of God in Christ Jesus. He answers the question that he posed in verse 35. In verse 37 he basically says that we are so far from being conquered by these things because of His love for us, that we can barely comprehend it. Now in verse 38 Paul begins a list of things that cannot sep-
arate us from Gods love. First he is convinced, thoroughly and confidently convinced that neither death nor life can separate us. In life we will live with Him, and in death we will die with Him, and because we die with Him we will rise with Him. Death to a believer is not separation but is stepping into His presence. [See 2 Corinthians 5:8] Not even angels can separate us. Most theologians agree that these are Satans angels, [see Matthew 25:41] as it would be hard to grasp the thought that angels of God would even attempt to separate us from Gods love. Next is principalities, which are simply a higher rank of evil spirits than the previous group. The kingdom of dark-

ness is much like the military or government where there are positions and ranks where some have authority over others. Nor things present, is the things that we are currently going through in our everyday lives. Nor things to come, is anything in the future whether on the earth or in heaven. Nor powers is a reference to any evil spirits regardless of rank, power or number can separate us from our love for our Redeemer, and most assuredly His love for us. Finally in verse 39, nor height, nor depth is a reference to anything in heaven or in hell or on the earth or any inhabitant therein. Any situation from the highest mountain top experience to the lows of the valleys of life, the highest point of abundance to the lowest point of need, none of these things can separate us from the love of God in Christ. Then as if to make sure we understand he says nor any other created thing, which leaves no stone unturned in all the universe, NOTHING can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord! There is no doubt that the love Paul is referring to is Gods love for us. Amazing love, how can it be? That Jesus the King would die for us. Because God knows the beginning and the end, and He knew that we would be sinful, yet He still gave His one and only Son to pay our sin debt on the cross. How can one ignore so great a love and salvation? This truth in turn should cultivate in us such a love for Him that separation from Him will never be an option. So this concludes our study of Romans 8, I pray that your learned as much as I have and the truths we found will become fruit in our lives. Amen

How to get your Apache band pictures; friends need our prayers
News Alert: The site on Facebook is Apache Band Boosters. I totally lost my religion trying to find the band booster site because I was looking for something that started with Gonzales and it takes you to a site that is being archived. They now have pictures from the UIL marching contest in Giddings. They have the CD of the contests that you can purchase and of course pictures that you can purchase. There are formal and informal pictures. I will have to say that some of the informal pictures are sometimes almost better to look at than the formal ones. So go have a look and buy what you want. There is a deadline for buying these pictures. Please lift the following people up in your prayers: Joe Kotwig, Kenneth Crumley, Gilby, Rudolpho and Edna Garza, Elson Schreiber, Kathryn, Dena Black, Karen Roecker Mahan, Sabrina Flores, Bill and Marie Lott, Laddie Studler, William Fink, Doris and Alvin Hewell; Whitney, Lisa Rodriguez, Debbie and Bill Read, Hester Behlen, Aunt Georgie; Danny and Joyce Schellenberg, Pete Kallies, Mildred ONeal, Doug Walshak, Louise Rossow, Selma Vickers, Gene Robinson, Blaine Welker, Hester Behlen, Teresa Wilke, Sandi Gandre, Carl and Vida Tindle; Evelyn

It is good to know for the most part that Alvin Hewell is at home and doing well. I wish all of our people who were ill could end up like he has. I saw Evelyn Newmann at the doctors office and two days later I know that she landed on the floor again. I have not had the energy to find out what happened next. I just know that we need to say a lot of extra prayers for Evelyn so that she can somehow keep her glucose levels more stable. I am still coughing my head off the majority of the time, so God has very effectively shut me up for a while. However, it seems to aggravate Augie since he cant hear me in the first place. I need prayers for a long distance friend of mine up in Michigan. His name is Blaine Welker and he had two strokes that affected his eyes
only. This is bad because it has cost him his sight except for shadows in one eye and perhaps a very centered close up sight in the other eye. I had never really ever heard of this happening but his carotid artery was blocked 99% and his blood pressure was sky high and this is what happened. A person never ever knows what can happen to them from moment to moment and we need to count our blessings. Halloween has come and gone, but go to Facebook to your see some neat pictures of your favorite little critters. There are some really cute pictures that will lighten your heart and make you laugh. You will find Jake Hobbs, Joe Kotwigs little man, and Christina Wilkes, little grandson; Nicole Wedas one month old little Bentley, and many more. Oh, the UPS man just came with my Scentsy Blueberry Cheesecake brick that I ordered from my niece Jennifer Soefje (go to my Facebook to find her site) who also has the cutest little goblins, Zack was a lobster and Brylee was a Ladybug and they won prizes from WalMart. Then on top of that Zack and a friend got to go on an airplane ride at a carnival event that they were attending. How cool is that? I would like to go on an air-
plane ride, but it was free for kids only. Oh well, maybe one of these days. It would be my luck that the blasted plane would crash. I did not get to go to the Belmont Social Club to see all of the malarkey and fun they had with their Halloween costumes and the polka players and dancers. I know I missed a good time. This next week on Friday is the Best Friends, Sally and Debbie, and on Saturday is Tommy Schlein with the Golden
voice from Victoria singing Elvis, Oldies and everything in between. I think someone said that his mother is celebrating her birthday. If his whole family is coming with him, everyone will enjoy seeing them again. They are lovely people to be around with smiling and happy faces. Well the Master Sean Allen came over Sunday afternoon to do a report for school and used our computer. He was on the porch since I was in this part of the house sleep-
ing and coughing my fool head off. Itsy has claimed the porch for his domain. When I woke up, my first glimpse was of Itsy flying high with that fluffy tail in full bloom. He was followed by Dililah on the floor creeping along like a moving rug. Samson was somewhere in between. Man it took almost a full hour for Itsy to decide it was safe for him to go back out on that porch. Have a good week and God Bless.
BANDS: Shiner, Luling aiming for state crowns

Continued from page B1
long and are just a great group of kids to work with. They wanted to get to state and were willing to do whatever it took to get there. The piece the band will be performing a state is entitled The Trail of Tears, an original composition by Barry Hurt based on the historical implications from the forced movement of Native Americans off their homelands. With us being the Comanches, I thought it would be cool for us to do a show like this, explained Krupicka. I re-wrote a few parts of it to sort of make it ours and put that Shiner touch on it. The crowds have really gotten into it when weve performed it and its been exciting. Krupicka, who is in his eighth year at Shiner, said he likes the chances of his band doing well at state against the 16 other competing groups and possibly improving on their previous finish. I think we have a shot at doing something really good, he said. Its hard to tell because theres so many great bands that are going to be there. Itll be tough for us to win, but theres no telling because I know these kids are going to play well. Members of the Shiner Comanche Marching Band include: Drum Majors Nicholle Tieken and Shelly Kresta, Abbie Abernathy, Devin Alegria, Kelsey Berkman, Ryan Bickham, Sam Bickham, Kayla Blaschke, Trevor Bryan, Amanise Coleman, Also, Shamyra Coleman, Stephanie Coronado, Chris Culak, Caleb Curtis, Paige Dollard, Rebekah Downey, Ernie Egan, Rose Egan, Eric Estrada, Alexandra Flynn, Matthew Foster, Emily Gamez, Michelle Garza, Maggie Grosenbacher, Also, Tamara Hajek, Riley Handley, Jennifer Hartl, Ashley Hauptman, Kris Hauptman, Skyler Henry, Christopher Herman, Audry Horsley, Ashley Indorf, D.J. Jaehne, Kelli Jamison, Evel Jones, Jayde Kurtz, Samantha Logsdon, Coy Mathis, Alicia
Matthews, Jessica Mauric, Keely McCarthy, Blake Mraz, Also, Samantha Neal, Hannah Nevlud, James Ohlhausen, Kevin Ohlhausen, Hailey Pardy, Chad Rabke, Alexis Rainosek, Sarah Reese, Breana Renken, Marcus Rodriquez, Jodi Rogers, Kimberly Roznovsky, Alana Saldana, Jose Sanchez, Chase Schroeder, Kelsey Seymour, Cassidy Simper, Bobby Stasney, Sarah Stluka, Abby Tieken, Michael Turnini, Marlon Wallace and Ethan Zissa. The band is under the direction of Krupicka and Sarah Rose. The Luling Eagle Band will try to outperform 18 other 2A outfits when they take the field at 4:21 p.m. Luling is making their first state appearance since 1983. These kids have been working really hard, said band director Coral Rios. They learned the material really quickly and have been passing their music at the assigned times. Weve had a goal all year and that was 11-7-11, the date of the state contest, and now weve finally made it. The accomplishment is made even more impressive when you consider the band consists of several members who are involved in athletics, including 10 players on the varsity football team. The coaches have really been awesome because theyve allowed all of the kids to march at halftime and even let them leave practices early to attend band practice, Rios said. Weve worked as team over here all year with everybody supporting each other. The Eagle Band will perform a show called A Knights Journey, a threemovement piece based on the movie Gladiator. The first movement kind of takes you through what knights have to do in order to get prepared for war, explained Rios. The second movement is called Earth and its all about the warriors saying goodbye to their women before going to battle. The third movement is entitled The Battle and it depicts what the war-
riors are actually doing in battle and how they are victorious at the end. Rios has been at Luling for 22 years and she said some of the credit for this seasons breakthrough goes to the former band members who have graduated. It wasnt just these kids, but also the kids that came before them and laid the foundation, said Rios. Its been about building on tradition and building on excellence. This group has really kept it going and they refused to accept anything less than being the best.

Apaches try to wrap up unbeaten season against arch-rivals

With their goals of making the playoffs and winning the district now accomplished, the Gonzales Apaches turn toward one goal they have had for months now: beating archrival Cuero. The Apaches (9-0, 5-0) take on the team in green 7:30 p.m. Friday at Gobbler Stadium to close out the regular season. It says a lot about our kids setting goals, Apache head coach Ricky Lock said. We set those goals after we lost to Cuero last November. We started testing for offseason before last Thanksgiving and started getting ready for this year in December. The Tribes sacrifice paid off with an improved, tougher and stronger football team. We are excited to play Cuero and have a chance at win No. 10 on the season, he said. Coming into tomorrows contest, Cuero is 3-2 and is tied with Sam Houston, La Vernia and Yoakum A win will most definitely get Cuero in the playoffs while a loss will likely see the Gobblers out. Cueros offense has primarily been a running team this season with backs Van Davis, Clint Davis, Logan Goebel, DAnthony Hopkins and A.J. Bustos. Lock said the Apache defensive coaches are up to the task of preparing a game plan that will contain the Cuero offense. They always seem to put our defense in a good position, he said. Gonzales will have to prevent Cuero from making a big play and make Cuero earn every single yard. They will also need to tackle the Cuero ball carrier as flawlessly as possible. Lock said in recent games, Cuero lines up in 50 and split looks and could also run a 4-2-5 Bustos at corner and defensive lineman Colton Jacobs are mainstay players on the Gobbler defense as well as linebacker Goebel. Defensively, they are not bad at all, Lock said. We have our work cut out for

Hallettsville at Industrial The Brahmas close out the regular season at Industrial. Currently, the Brahmas are sitting good for the playoffs with a 3-2 record. A win by the Brahmas would cement them as the lone thirdplace team. A loss by Hallettsville, com-
bined with a win by Hitchcock, puts those two teams and Rice even with 3-3 records for third place. Hallettsville has won against both and would leave the Brahmas in third place. Shiner at Louise The Comanches face Louise after their open date. COMANCHES, Page C8

SEGUIN Coming into Tuesdays bidistrict match against Devine, the Gonzales volleyball team had already made an amazing accomplishment. Returning to the playoffs after a threeyear drought. The Lady Apaches battled Devine hard but fell 3-1 (22-25, 26-24, 13-25, 19-25) Tuesday night in the bi-district round at Seguin High School. By being the first volleyball team to make the playoffs in several years, the 2011 team should be proud. We have nothing to hang our heads about, Lady Apache head coach Kim Payne said. We stepped in the right direction and done something that no one has done in a while in Gonzales. Hopefully, we have started a tradition. We should build from this and push on. Gonzales had to deal with the challenge of playing their fourth match in a little over a week. We did not play to our potential, she
said. The second set was great. Then we let our guard down and Devine went on a 5-1 run and it is hard to comeback against that. The Lady Apaches opened the first set with a 10-8 advantage. Devine then scored seven of the next eight for a 15-11 margin. Gonzales got within 15-13 with a pair of Allison Raley kills. Devine used plays from Kaelyn Stacy to go up 20-15, Gonzales battled to within 2422 on effort from Raley and Danyelle Glass before the Arabians got the set point. In the second set, an Lindsey Akers play and service from Morgan Simper helped put Gonzales up 5-2, and the lead was extended to 9-3 with the help of a Kiley Braune ace. Stacey helped rally Devine to trail just 17-15 and later a 24-24 tie before the Lady Apaches got the two points to tie the match at a set each. In the third set, the Arabians jumped out to an early 7-1 advantage and did not take their foot off the gas pedal, holding GonzaLADY APACHES, Page C2

Shiner hurdles big obstacles to return to top

Success is something that does not often happen by accident or luck. It is something that has to be chosen. The Shiner Lady Comanches made the right choice despite some steep hills to climb. We had two starters lost early in the season because of injury and waited on another player to return from a basketball season-ending injury. The team took these obstacles as challenges that tested both their physical and mental abilities, Shiner coach Michelle Winkenwerder said. They have shown remarkable resilience and flexibility in overcoming those obstacles. She said the adversity forced the Lady Comanches to play at levels that might have gone untapped with a healthy team. The Lady Comanche patience with their personnel issues has paid off. We now have two of those three players back in uniform and contributing their skills and talents to the team, Winkenwerder said. Considering that we are 27-8 and seven of those losses came from several topranked teams in the state without a healthy team, we cannot wait to have fun in the playoffs. Shiners district is comprised of fellow state ranked teams of Ganado and Flatonia and of developing programs Prairie Lea, Louise and Waelder. Winkenwerder said Shiner respects all of its district opponents without regards to records or abilities To win district, we have to avoid injuries, be prepared for anything and show up to play on game night or someone else will gladly take the title, she said. The Lady Comanches practice and prepare for matches the same, regardless of the opponent. The overall things we do in practice to prepare for a team like Flatonia are no different from how we approach to win against a budding program, Winkenwerder said. All teams have to be able to serve and serve receive if you are looking to win. We will study and discuss tendencies that we expect to see from our opponents to give us the best chance for success. The Lady Comanches will face Agua Dulce (third place 31-1A).

The St. Paul Lady Cardinals fell to Huntsville Alpha and Omega 3-1 (11-25, 16-25, 25-18, 18-25) in the TAPPS Division II regional round Saturday in Houston. We played really well at times but could not consistently receive the ball so we struggled offensively, head coach Dana Beal said. We are proud of the girls but disappointed the season came to an end short of the state tournament. St. Paul ends the season with a 20-6 record. The Hallettsville Lady Brahmas fell to Rogers 3-0 (20-25, 18-25, 19-25) in the bi-district round Tuesday. Cassidy Targac had nine kills and four blocks; Ali Patek had 11 digs and one ac; Lauren Jones had 15 assists. On Oct. 25 the Luling Lady Eagles volleyball team played at Universal City Randoloh.

Shiner is taught to stay in the present and never look to the past or ahead to the future. Our girls are constantly reminded not to take any team for granted and that on any given night, any team can win, Winkenwerder said. Do not look ahead, do not look behind, concentrate on the job in front of us at that particular time. We have to relax, have fun and execute our game plan. If we play Lady Comanche volleyball, the winning and the losing will take care of itself. The area round match will take place at Odem High School at 7 p.m. today.

les to just 13 points. In the fourth set, Gonzales overcame early deficits, going on top 18-15 on two kills from Shayla Simper and a Raley block. Devine went on a 10-1 run at that point to close out the set and the match. For Gonzales, Bozka had 44 digs; Shayla Simper had 27 digs and seven kills; Morgan Simper had 15 digs; Jessica Cantu had 40 assists and 10 digs; Raley had 13 kills and 19 blocks; Glass had 18 kills; Akers had nine blocks; Brittany Pakebusch had 10 blocks and five kills with
Braune contributing one service ace. Seniors Lynnea Fink, Cantu, Pakebusch and Jerika Vega put on a Lady Apache volleyball uniform for the last time. I am going to miss the leadership from the four seniors. They gave their heart and soul. They were leaders on and off the court. I could not ask for anything better, Payne said. I know two of them did not get a lot of playing time but they were still fighting for this team and giving me all they had in practice. Next year, Payne will have a whole pack of seniors who
will be fourth-year varsity players along with a couple of juniors. The future looks bright for Gonzales I know we will be back in the playoffs next year. That is probably a bold statement but I am going to make it, Payne said.
Gonzales 3, Cuero 0 LA VERNIA The Lady Apaches last shot at the playoffs started Thursday night in La Vernia against Curero. The Lady Apaches swept Cuero 25-21, 25-18 and 2523. The girls had a ton of

energy, Payne said. They know what to do and they know what is at stake. It is a great feeling (to be almost to a playoff spot), remarked Shayla Simper. It is finally our time. Payne said the Lady Apaches played very well with a couple of things in the hitting department that was just a little off. Most everything was on for us and we need to continue that momentum, she said. Gonzales got out to 4-1 lead early in set one as Morgan Simper served an ace and Allison Raley made a kill. The Lady Gobblers fought back to score six of the next seven points, getting kills from Justyce Turner and Brandi Phillips. Gonzales closed down to 13-12 on plays from Glass and later, went ahead 16-15. The teams battled back and forth until the Lady Apaches went on top 23-21 and held Cuero scoreless the rest of the way. In the second game, the Lady Gobblers held the early advantage until plays from Glass and Shayla Simper gave Gonzales a 12-9 lead. Gonzales continued the run, going up 16-11 on service by Jessica Cantu and a play by Lindsey Akers. Cuero fought back to keep the margin at five points at Abby Sheppard and Emily Olsovsky produced points for the Lady Gobblers. Down 23-15, Cuero pulled back a few points before Gonzales got the winning point 25-18.
The Lady Gobblers clawed their way to a couple of early leads in the third set and held a 22-21 lead after a kill by Madison Simpson. The Lady Apaches came back to a 23-23 tie and scored two straight, getting the game point on a play by Shayla Simper. For Gonzales, Bozka had 29 digs and one ace; Morgan Simper had eight digs and one ace; Cantu had 16 digs, one ace and 25 assists; Braune had 12 digs; Shayla Simper had 12 digs, eight kills and one ace; Raley had nine kills, six blocks and two aces; Glass had nine kills and Pakebusch had 10 blocks and five kills. Gonzales 3, Pleasanton 1 LA VERNIA The very next night, Friday, Gonzales had one last obstacle blocking its way to postseason play. The Pleasanton Eaglettes. The Lady Apaches defeated Pleasanton in four sets (25-22. 23-25, 25-12, 25-20) Friday in La Vernia, winning
third place in 28-3A and place in the postseason. Making the playoffs feels great, Morgan Simper said. It is definitely where we wanted to be at the end of our season and it is good to know all of our hard work over the past years has paid off. Gonzales really wanted to have success this year and was willing to do everything that was required. The number one factor would have to be determination, she said. We never gave up, especially when times were hard. We knew what we wanted and we were not going to stop until we reached our goal. For Gonzales, Bozka had 31 digs, one ace; Shayla Simper had 18 digs, 12 kills and five aces; Braune had 10 digs and an ace; Morgan Simper had 12 digs; Cantu had 19 digs and 39 assists;, Raley had 16 kills, 12 blocks, nine digs; Glass had 16 kills and three blocks while Pakebusch had 12 blocks and seven kills.

It was a team effort on defense but for myself, I just played with guts and knew it was my last game at Apache Field, he said. Other than that, I knew I was going to leave everything on the field. We made some mistakes in this game but came out and finished it. We played with heart.

The Gonzales defense played savior to the offense Friday as the Apaches preserved their unbeaten record by escaping with a 14-9 win over the determined La Vernia Bears. The win, coupled with Saturdays Sam Houston win over Cuero, clinched the District 28-3A title for the Apaches. The defense made its case by killing several La Vernia drives, including two that would have given the Bears a potential gamewinning score following Apache turnovers deep in La Vernia territory.

We ran the ball (well) but we fumbled a couple of times, Gonzales head coach Ricky Lock said. We gave up a couple of potential touchdowns by fumbling the ball.

Paving the way
NIXON -- A 21-point outburst in the first quarter put Nixon-Smiley in an early hole that proved to be too deep to get out of, as Stockdale picked up a crucial 50-29 road win over the Mustangs Friday night. We just had way too many mistakes and we couldnt overcome them, said Nixon-Smiley head coach Carlton McKinney. We got off to a difficult start and our offense isnt designed to play from behind, especially when were down by multiple scores. Stockdale (5-4, 3-2) was lead by Colton West, who accounted for four touchdowns and threw for 225 yards, including two scoring tosses to Dusty Mosier. Trevor Baumann led all rushers with a game-high 97 yards on 11 carries, and scored three times. It was because of blown assignments more than anything else, said McKinney about the games final tally. We knew exactly what Stockdale was doing, but for whatever reason we just couldnt seem to stop them. They have some playmakers and if you dont play them correctly, then theyre going to make plays and thats what they did. Having eschewed the opportunity to control their own postseason destiny by failing to deliver a win, Nixon-Smiley (6-4, 3-3)
relegated themselves from active participants to interested observers in the District 14-2A, Division II race. The only way the Mustangs can get into the playoffs is by having Stockdale and Karnes City both win next week against Dilley and Three Rivers, respectively. If that scenario comes to pass, then Nixon-Smiley would garner the nod because of their head-to-head victories over the Wolves and Badgers. Were keeping our fingers crossed, but this was our shot, said McKinney. Its disappointing because we didnt play as well tonight as we had hoped we would. We became a better program this year, but we still havent gotten over that hump. Youve got to be able to step up and make plays when you need them most, and we werent able to do that tonight. The Brahmas scored on their first possession, a quick four-play drive that ended with Baumanns catch-and-run for a 57yard touchdown. Jared Van Aukens fumble on the sixth play stalled the Mustangs ensuing drive and the ball was recovered by the defense to set up Stockdale at their own 49. On the next play Baumann hauled in a pass and went 42 yards before Victor Coronado made a touchdown-saving tackle. Two snaps later, West threw to Mosier for a five-yard score.
on to punt, and two plays later Baumann raced into the end zone for a 39-yard touchdown. The Mustangs didnt answer back until the fourth quarter when Miguel Hernandez corralled a pass in the flats from Moreno and jetted 60 yards to paydirt. Coronados conversion run ended the games scoring.

Finding a hole

(Photo by Cedric Iglehart) The Brahmas tried an onsides kick, but it was recovered by Jacob Perez and the Mustangs took possession at their 46. Nine plays later, Alex Hernandez powered in from the three-yard line to put Nixon-Smiley on the board for the first time. His extra point kick cut the Stockdale lead down to 13-7 with 1:54 still remaining in the opening frame. It only took the Brahmas one play to respond as a play-action pass to Mosier went for 66 yards and Cody Hasting ran in the fake kick conversion. After a three and out, Stockdale took over again at their 32. A dozen snaps occurred before the Brahmas were facing fourth and goal from the Nixon nine-yard line. West threw a pass from Baumann but he was closely defended by Keith Lamza, whose tight coverage drew a questionable flag for pass interference to keep the drive going. Baumann took it the ball into the end zone on the next play and Stockdale led 28-7 midway through the second quarter. The Mustangs struggled to keep pace as Jaime Morenos pass on third down was intercepted and returned by West for a 32-yard touchdown. Moreno made up for his errant throw on second down, when he broke a West tackle en route to an 18-yard gain. Two plays later, he hit a wide-open Robbie Mejia over the middle for a 40-yard score. Hernandez made the extra point kick and the Mustangs trailed 36-14. The onsides kick was recovered by Coronado near midfield and on third down Garrett Earlywines catchand-run resulted in a 38yard touchdown. The Brahmas tallied one more score in the first half when their six-play drive culminated in a short plunge by West. NixonSmiley was looking to add more points before the half ended and launched an effective march down the field via a beautiful twominute drill. But a poorlyexecuted halfback pass led to an interception four seconds before halftime. Stockdale opened the second half by forcing Nix-

St. Paul stuns Sacred Heart, 14-12

By MARK LUBE
Friday Night Lights

We ran the power sweep on the two-point conversion and St. Paul stopped it. That is just the way it goes. This game was an emotional roller coaster, said Johnston as he was surrounded by elated Cardinal fans. We talked all week long about what a close game we thought it would be and how big extra points and two-point conversions were going to be. Our boys did a great job (on stopping both of Sacred Hearts two-point conversion plays. The Cardinals had prevented the first Sacred Heart two-point conversion play a sweep right by Sterling Hrncir after he had scored the touchdown. Johnston said the Cardinals have improved their tackling in recent weeks. When we tackle, I feel we can pretty much play with anybody, he said. Later in the game, after Sacred Heart scored to come within just two points, Hrncir got the ball on the sweep for a potential game-tying twopoint play that St. Paul stuffed as well. Toss right to Hrncir is Sacred Hearts bread and butter play, Johnston said. If I was Sacred Heart, that is what I would be calling. We had a feeling that it was coming at us. It (The second two-point play) was just inches short of the goal line but it was short and we are glad. Sacred Heart took the opening kickoff but fumbled the ball away on a fourth-down, fake-punt play. St. Paul appeared to stall until a 29-yard gain on a reverse by Martin Kennedy set up the Cardinals at the 1. A pair of penalties pushed the ball back to the 11 where quarterback Dakota Kresta hit Justin Natal on a short pass and Natal evaded tacklers to the end zone for the 7-0 St. Paul lead. The Cardinals executed and recovered an onsides kick and got a 20-yard run by Adam Hollenbach on first down to the Sacred Heart 31 but were stifled by the Indian defense and had a 33-yard punt to the 9. The Indians then drove 91 yards in almost eight minutes off the clock Hrncir, Matt Holub and lineman Regan Hall, playing as a fullback in the wishbone alignment, alternated carries and reached the 10 yard line where Hrncir scored on the Indians patented power toss play. He was stopped short of the end zone on the twopoint conversion play, leaving St. Paul ahead 7-6. The Cardinals needed just four plays to drive 59 yards two incomplete passes by Kresta left the drive in doubt until he tossed a short pass to Hollenbach who followed a wall of blockers enroute to a 49-yard gain to the 10, where Brett Hodges scored to help give St. Paul a 14-6 advantage. After their next drive stalled, Sacred Heart caught a break. Natal caught a 7-yard pass from Kresta and got to the Cardinal 34 where he was tackled

HALLETTSVILLE Welcome to the Shiner St. PaulHallettsville Sacred Heart rivalry, Coach Paul Johnston. The first-year Cardinal head coach got quite a greeting from both teams in a 14-12 St. Paul win Saturday evening at Hallettsville Memorial Stadium. The atmosphere of this rivalry is awesome, he said. Johnston said that defeating Sacred Heart was something that was stressed to him when he came on board at St. Paul. Since the day I signed the contract, all I have heard about is if you win one game, it has to be the Sacred Heart game. I have been hearing that all season and especially this last week. I told the players that games like this one make high school football what it is today. Our kids and their kids will remember this game for the rest of their lives. We just needed to play our best game today. It was a great football game, longtime Indians head coach Pat Henke said. We just came up short at the very end. He said Sacred Heart held the Cardinals offense in check with 14 points. Defense did a great job. I would have thought that if they only scored two touchdowns we would have won the game, he said. We made too many mistakes on offense. We had a chance to score before halftime and we throw an interception.

MRN -- Doug Giles 31-yard run (Conversion failed)
Marion escapes Luling; Brahmas burn Hitchcock

MARION Doug Giles fourth touchdown of the night, a 31-yarder with 7:46 left in the game, enabled the Marion Bulldogs to come from behind to hold off the upset-minded Luling Eagles by a 24-22 score Friday in a key District 13-2A Division 1 matchup. The win moved Marion to 7-2 for the season and 3-1 in district play, while Luling falls to 4-5 and 2-2. Giles, who rushed for 212 yards on a workhorse 43 carries, gave the Bulldogs an early lead when he scored from five yards out midway through the opening period, but the Eagles came roaring back to score 22 straight points. Billy Medford returned an interception 54 yards for a score and then Trayden Staton scored on a 5-yard run, throwing a two-point conversion pass to Josh Alvarez for a 15-6 lead after one period. Staton hit Vince Garcia with a 5-yard scoring toss early in the second quarter to make it 22-6, but Giles scored on a 5-yard run near the two-minute mark of the first half, then added another 5-yard TD run late in the third period to make it 2218. The Bulldogs missed all four conversion attempts. The Marion defense checked the Luling offense and held the Eagles to just 161 total yards in the contest, although Staton and Medford combined to hit 10 of 20 passes for 123 yards.

Keep safety in your sights as deer season opens

always treat it like it was loaded, always make sure of your target before you shoot (use binoculars, not your rifle scope) and keep your finger off the trigger until youre ready to pull it. You cant call a bullet back, and it always has the right-of-way. Last year in Texas, four persons died in hunting-related accidents. All four instances involved gunshots - two self-inflicted, two by other hunters. TPWDs annual Hunting Accident Report for 2010 identifies the factors involved in reported hunting accidents last year. The number one cause involved hunters swinging on game outside a safe zone of fire. One way to stay out of some other hunters sights is wearing blaze orange clothing or hat. Blaze orange is not mandatory in Texas unless youre hunting on public land, but it makes a lot of sense, Erwin says. Deer cannot see color, but other hunters can. While firearms safety should be a hunters top priority, accidents in the field are more likely to occur without a shot being fired. The most unreported of all hunting accidents are falls from elevated hunting blinds or tree stands, Erwin says. If youre going to be hunting from a tree stand, make sure to use a Tree-stand Manufacturers Association-approved tree stand and a TMA approved fall restraint device. Dont try to carry your rifle when you get into or out of an elevated stand and make sure it is unloaded until you are safely seated. Use a haul line to bring your rifle up once you are safely in your blind, then, unload your firearm and lower it with the haul line before climbing down, Erwin recommends. Another thing to remember about deer stands, especially permanent blinds is that they make good habitat. Always check your blind for stinging in-

AUSTIN With hundreds of thousands of Texans getting ready for opening day of the general gun season for white-tailed deer on Nov. 5, its important to keep safety in your crosshairs. It looks like hunting accidents are headed for another record low this year, and we want to keep it that way, says Terry Erwin, Texas Parks and Wildlife Departments hunter education coordinator. Last year, Texas saw 25 hunting accidents, four of them fatal. If you were born after Sept. 1, 1971 and this is going to be your first deer season, keep in mind you must have completed a hunter education course or obtained a one-time deferral if you arent able to get into a course. This coming weekend is a good time to get that taken care of, Erwin says. Its also a good time to make sure all your equipment is up to speed, from your stands to your firearms. Erwin suggests cleaning your rifle, checking for any mechanical problems and getting it sighted in. Beyond that, the week before deer season starts is a good time to go over the basic rules of gun safety, even if youve heard them a jillion times before. The big four are always making sure your rifle is pointed in a safe direction,
sects, snakes and other critters that might have been living in it during the off-season, Erwin suggested. The general gun season runs through Jan. 1, 2012 in North Texas and Jan. 15, 2012 in South Texas. A late youth-only season is also slated for Jan. 2-15, 2012. For additional late season deer hunting opportunities, consult the 2011-12 Outdoor Annual of hunting and fishing regulations.
A couple of big bulls
Local hunters, Willie Cal Taylor and son, Willie Bubba Taylor, Jr. had a successful hunt in northwestern New Mexico recently. Both were able to tag a beautiful bull elk. The senior bull was 6-by-5 and the sons was a 5-by-5. They both feel lucky that they were both able to shoot their first bull elks. Taylor and Taylor, Jr. would like to thank H+ A Outfiters out of Reserve, New Mexico and a thanks to their guide Jerry Harramens. (Courtesy Photo)

Local runners claim spots in regional meets

Cross Country Roundup
The Cannon
SEGUIN Lady Apache runner Contessa Baird placed seventh in the District 28-3A meet varsity girls race Thursday morning at Starke Park and will now represent the Lady Apaches at the Region IV meet Nov. 5 at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio. Contessa stepped outside of her comfort zone in this race and it payed off, Gonzales coach Jill Cox said. Contessa did what she needed to do in order to go to regionals this year. For the start of the season it was her goal and she accomplished that. Baird crossed the finish line in 13 minutes, 10 seconds. La Vernia won the meet with 17 points and Yoakum was in second with 61. Pleasanton was third with 62 and Gonzales came in fourth at 92. Cox said the Lady Apaches did well in trying to overtake Pleasanton for the final team spot to regionals. There is no doubt that the girls gave their best performance in trying to beat Pleasanton for the third spot, she said. I have only four girls who have high school cross country experience. I have three first- year runners on varsity. This was a learning experience for many of the girls and they did a great job. My seniors, Kimberly Deleon and Brittney Pakebusch, did a great job being leaders in practice and in the district race. I could not have asked for more out of any of the ladies. As for the rest of the ladies, our times were good and so was the competitive effort they gave. Cox said. DeLeon was No. 14 in 13:43; Alejandra Diaz DeLeon was No 25 in in 14:49; Hailey Whitted was No. 27 (15:09) and behind her was Pakebusch (15:13). Kaitlyn Guerra was No. 31 in 15:37 and followed by Dora Rodriguez in 15:40. For the runner-up Lady Dogs, Brittany Rosas was fourth in 12:36; Harley Braun was ninth in 13:24; Courtney Carroll was No. 13 in 13:34; Hannah Bordovsky was No. 18 (14:00) and followed by Stephanie Kornegay (14:01).

Down the home stretch
APACHES: Battle Cuero looking to make 10-0 run

LULING: Eagles battle Blanco for playoff spot

Ty Anderson
Brendon Cubit
Trayden Staton
424 rushing with 18 total scores. We have to corral that kid, said Luling head coach Michael Waldie. Hes extremely smart and does everything well. Hes a big, physical kid who is a lot faster than he looks and is capable of taking one to the house on you if youre not careful. Hes been stepping up his game every week, Coach Rogers said about his son. Hes been running the ball better and making good decisions in the passing game. He means a lot to our offense. The rest of the Panthers ground game consists of quality running backs in Colton Childress, Sam Isenberg and Tyler Brown. The trio has been a nice complement to Rogers and lead running back Tim Goodman, the teams top rusher with 590 yards and seven touchdowns. Theyve got three or four backs who are kind of all the same, Waldie said. If they didnt have on a different number, I dont think you could really tell them apart. Theyre all just really hard-nosed runners who pose a great challenge for us, but were looking forward to it. Fortunately for Luling, theres no shortage of firepower in their offensive arsenal. The Eagles are averaging 37.5 points per game in league play led by their athletic jack-of-all-trades Billy Medford, who is second on the districts scoring list with 82 points. Nobodys really been able to contain him, that guy can really play, Rogers said. Hes the best athlete in the district by far. Were worried about him, but hes not all they have. Sophomore Trayden Staton has done a nice job at quarterback for Luling with 735 passing yards and 14 touchdown tosses. Freshman Brendon Cubit has offset Medford well at running back with 422 yards and six touchdowns, while sophomore Ty Anderson is the teams leading receiver with 33 catches for 410 yards and four
scores. Senior Vince Garcia has also contributed heavily in the passing game with 26 catches for 403 yards and a team-high five touchdown receptions. They have a lot of guys who are pretty good, said Rogers. Theyre not quite the caliber of Medford, but we cant just concentrate on him because those other guys can kill us. Putting up points against Blanco has been a daunting task all year for district opponents. The Panthers have allowed less than 13 points per league game and their average of 298.8 yards allowed is the districts third best total. More importantly, their defense has given only two scoring plays of 20 or more yards in district play. Theyre very sound in what they do defensively, said Waldie. Theyre going to line up in a 4-3 and theyre going to play it all night. Their ends are wide and physical, and they do a good job of turning everything in to their seven-man box. Theyre the type of defense that is going to force you to have to put together drives because theyre not real susceptible to big plays. A victory for the Eagles will do a lot more for the school than merely advancing them into the postseason for the first time since 2009. After registering wins earlier in the year over perennial powers Karnes City and Comfort, the Luling program is on the verge of elevating its status. Such an elite standing will no doubt prove helpful in establishing the Eagles as a major factor in a district where four of its teams are ranked in the top 30 statewide and in the top seven in Region IV. If we can add a win over Blanco to that list, then we will have put ourselves on another level, Waldie said. We wont be so much knocking at the door anymore, well be ready to kick it down. Thats what this game means. Somebody is going to be sent home for good on Friday night and were going to do everything in our power to make sure its not us.
us. Cuero, however, gave up 500 yards of offense against Sam Houston, and Lock said Gonzales is positive of what its offense can produce against the Gobblers. The Apaches must do a better job of not fumbling the football when they get inside the red zone. Against La Vernia, several turnovers inside the 20 negated potential touchdowns for Gonzales. While Gonzales has a legitimate passing attack, with quarterback Jon Anthony Casares, wide receiver Don Cartwright and tight end Cameron Smith, it may not be necessary for the Apaches to air the ball out with all of the success the running game has had. When you have a good defense, you need to control the football by making first downs and playing field position, Lock said. The strategy we had at the beginning of the year, we have stayed with it. He said Casares also has the ability to scramble if receivers are tightly covered. The Gobblers fell to Sam Houston 45-14 in their last game and are looking to get back on track.
COMANCHES: close out against struggling Louise

We are anxious to get redemption from the Sam Houston game, Owens said. The Gobblers go up against a Gonzales defense that has allowed just 21 points in the district season. We will have to find a way to move the ball effectively, Owens said. Their defense has done a good job this year. Cueros defense will need to find a way to break through the solid blocking of the Apache offensive line. Their line is playing great, Owens said. We will need to get past their lead blockers and make some plays. The Gonzales coaches discussed the importance and history of the rivalry with the players early in the week. A lot of people in the community who have been here awhile are very concerned about this game, Lock said. It would be a good opportunity for us to win in Cuero and to spoil their chances at making the playoffs. The Gobblers are also looking forward to the game. This game has been played for a long time. A lot of the players and the people in the community know each other, Owens said. This game usually has significance for one or both teams.
Louise was throttled by Flatonia in its last game, who Shiner blanked 42-0 on Oct. 21. The Comanches will need to focus on backs Dillion Lee, George Aguilar and Josh Bishop to shut down the Hornet offensive game. Shiner will need to continue execution of its smashmouth running game, mixed in with some passing. Flatonia at Ganado Flatonia has a tough matchup against topranked Ganado after defeating Louise, 42-6, last week. The Indian running game is led by Josh Labay and Flatonia will need to tackle and contain him well. Main defensive players for Ganado are linebacker Tyler Gorman, linebacker Clay Vessley and lineman Anthony Parks. With a win, Flatonia will be tied for third with Yorktown but will have lost the tiebreaker on head-to-head. The Bulldogs will want to end the season on a high note by defeating the Indians. St. Dominic at St. Paul The Cardinals will look to add to their streak after a 14-12 scraper against Sacred Heart last time out. St. Dominic Savio fell to Dallas HSAA North 61-8 in its game on Friday. Their offense is paced by quarterback Daniel Miksch
and quality lineman in Charlie Harrell and Jacob Parks. St. Paul will have to contain Miksch and running back Michael Harrell. Key players for St. Dominics defense are linebacker Ryan Puetz, defensive back Stephen Bierschenk and defensive back J.T. Brown. Sacred Heart at Brazos Christian The Indians are looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season to St. Paul, 14-12, on Saturday. Sacred Heart will hit the road to Brazos Christian who holds a 3-0 record in TAPPS Division 4 District 3 after a forfeit win against St. Gerrard. The Indian defense will have to keep their on ball carriers Justin Brown and Jaxton McNair and quarterback Gentry Gail. Defensive players for Sacred Heart to keep away from their ball carriers are linebacker Hunter Elms and tackle Matthew Ford. Mustangs waiting Nixon-Smiley has an open date this week and has to wait for the results of other district games before knowing if they are in the postseason. The Mustangs will need Stockdale to beat Dilley and for Karnes City to get a win against Three Rivers, as Nixon has beaten both Dilley and Karnes City and would hold the tie-breaker for third place with all three teams at 3-3

The music adjustments are effective immediately. Contemporary Texas Country music will continue to be spliced in during The Texas Morning Show weekdays from 6 to 9, and Sunday afternoons from Noon until 7 with the popular Texas Country Weekend and Texas Red Dirt Roads with Justin Frazell shows. Contemporary Texas Country artists include Wade Bowen, Jason Boland and the Stragglers, Robert Earl Keen, Stoney LaRue, and Cody Canada & The Departed.

in awhile, Libra. You wont regret the decision because soon you will part ways again. ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, once something is in your head, it is hard to get rid of it. A stubborn nature can be an asset at times, especially when getting ahead in business. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Its a love of life that will move you through the next few days, Taurus. Otherwise you can become bored with the mundane responsibilities of day to day. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, once the wheels are in motion, it can be very difficult to turn back. That is why it is best to think things through before you take any action. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is difficult to get others to hear what you are saying when they refuse to listen. You will just have to be more diligent in your efforts. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, many people will be following your lead this week. Be on your best behavior, so you will be a role model and set a positive example for those who follow. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, when someone chooses to offer advice, listen to that advice even if you dont agree with it. Things will have a funny way of working out. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Make an effort to spend some time with someone whom you have not seen SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, try to find a balance between the time you spend with others and the moments you secure for yourself. While not secretive, you do relish in your privacy. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/ Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will quickly become persona non grata if you dont mend your ways. Taking advantage of others will cause them to rescind their generosity. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Personal matters take precedence once again, Capricorn. Just when it seems you can never conquer the challenges that arise, you are met with a welcome surprise. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, bide your time because the stars indicate a changing of times that will move in your favor. This will be an opportunity for wrongs to be righted. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, dont devote too much attention to recreational activities this week because then it could distract you from work that needs doing. FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

It was British writer and humorist Jerome K. Jerome who made the following sage observation: It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen. According to an international survey of taxicab drivers, passengers who use cabs in London are twice as likely as those in eight other major metropolises to leave a laptop behind when exiting the taxi. Sharks can live for a century or more. Velcro came to market in 1957, after a Swiss inventor named George De Mestral spent nearly 10 years developing the idea. His inspiration came to him in 1948 on a hike, when he had difficulty removing tenacious little burrs from his clothes. He reasoned that if he could create synthetic burrs, they could be used as fasteners.
The Parker Brothers game Monopoly is the bestselling game in history. Its available for purchase in 28 countries, and it can be played in 19 different languages. If you speak some French, you might know that the phrase tout a lheure means see you later. You might not realize, though, that that phrase is the origin of the English term toodle-oo. Chances are, theres a Park Street in your town.
Its the most common street name in the United States. Europe is the only continent without a desert. Even icy Antarctica has deserts -- including the worlds largest cold desert. *** Thought for the Day: We need anything politically important rationed out like Pez: small, sweet, and coming out of a funny, plastic head. -- Dennis Miller (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.
