Gonzales Cannon newspaper

An early release from prison is possibly in play for a Gonzales County man follow-ing a hearing held Tuesday in district court.

James DuBose, who was found guilty on two felony counts last August including as-sault on a peace officer, asked the court to consider his petition for shock probation. The 26-year old DuBose is currently serv-ing a two-year State Jail sentence for At-tempting to take a Weapon from a Peace Officer but he also received a 10-year sen-tence for Assault on a Public Servant.

Shock probation is a probation which is granted if the offender has received a sentence of ten years or less and must be requested before the offender has served more than six months in prison. According

to the Texas Department of Correctional Justice website, DuBose has been incarcer-ated at Garza West facility since September 17, 2012, and prior to that he spent 77 days in the Gonzales County Jail.

DuBose was on trial as a result of an in-cident that happened on Feb. 9, 2011 when Gonzales County Deputy Floyd Toliver re-sponded to a 911 call about a fight between DuBose’s estranged wife, Jessica Torres, and his then-girlfriend, Tracie Wrape, at a residence in Harwood.

Based on statements from Sgt. Toliver and witnesses in the home, at some point after Sgt. Toliver arrived on the scene Du-Bose began punching him and knocked him down to the floor twice. Sgt. Toliver received injuries to his head, face and back, with several small bones in his back being

Steve Vaus SONG, Page A6

The story of the Battle of Gonzales is rapidly turning into the anthem of resistance to Washington’s assault on the Second Amendment.

Grammy-winning recording artist Steve Vaus last week quietly released a recording of his song, “Come and

Take It,” on SoundCloud. The link to the tune immediate-

ly began going viral as opposition mounted to last week’s announce-ment by President Barack Obama that he would take 23 “executive ac-tions” to restrict access to firearms, action seen by many as an attack on the Second Amendment.

“A couple of years ago, I happened

to be down at an event at The Alamo and heard someone tell the story of Gonzales,” Vaus said in a telephone interview Friday. “I was absolutely taken by it, I wanted to do my best to tell it as it happened.”

Vaus said he wrote the song and re-corded it, and although he’s released several CDs since, “I just never found

A plea agreement has been reached in the Belinda Walker case.

Wednesday morning in the 25th Judicial District Court, Walker pleaded guilty to theft of property and Assistant District At-torney Keri Miller recom-mended a sentence of five years deferred adjudica-tion, 30 days in the county jail, restitution and a fine of $1,000.

Judge Bill Old ordered a pre-sentencing investiga-tion for Walker and set the next court date for March 20. If Old rejects the plea agreement, Walker has the right to withdraw her plea and opt for a trial.

The Gonzales County Grand Jury issued 13 in-dictments against Walker, a former Gonzales Parks & Recreation Department employee. Each indiction was for theft of property by a public servant of at least $1,500 but not more than $20,000.

The charges result from a months-long investiga-tion of funds missing within the city’s Parks & Recre-

GFD conductinghydrant testing

The Gonzales Fire De-partment is conducting hydrant maintenance and testing. The testing began on Wednesday.

Individuals are encour-aged to use caution along the areas that this testing is being conducted as there would likely be water in the street while testing is being conducted until it has time to properly drain.

At the time of testing, hy-drants will be flowed until the water runs clear, allow-ing sediments to flush from the system. While every ef-fort will be taken to mini-mize it, there is a chance that residents may notice some air or small amounts of sediments in their water immediately after testing in their area. Allowing the water to run at a sink or tub faucet for a minute or so will generally clear up these issues and the flow will re-turn to normal.

This testing will be con-ducted on Wednesdays during favorable weather for the next several months.

January 24, 1871On this date in 1871, Britton Johnson was

killed by a band of Kiowas who attacked his wagontrain. He had become legendary in the previous decade for pursuing Indians who kidnapped his wife and children. After his adventures on the Llano Estacado, Johnson worked as a teamster hauling goods between Weatherford and Fort Griffin. The evidence of spent cartridges suggests that he defended himself fiercely before dying. He and his men were buried in a common grave beside the road.

Regional News Digest

SMILEY — Issues of property safety standards and the hiring of law enforcement personnel were the focal points of the Jan. 17 regular meeting of the Smiley City Council.

The council approved a measure to declare certain properties in the city limits as a “nuisance” in order to en-able the city’s authority to maintain safety standards of such properties.

“There are some properties in town that the city has warned about clean-ing and keeping them from being a hazard to other people,” said City Manager Eloise Estes.

City officials say that the primary concern is for the safety of the general public rather than those properties just simply being an eye-sore. Proper

cleaning and maintenance is neces-sary for those properties to not be a nuisance and public safety hazard, ac-cording to city officials.

“It was more the hazard that we were concerned about, rather than it being a nuisance property by the way it looked,” said Estes. “There are cer-tain properties in town that not only need cleanup, but actual fencing or something so that people won’t get hurt.”

“We have tried to keep from hav-ing to actually enforce anything so we sent out letters, but with no response. Our attorney suggested that we now send out letters telling them that the council now did declare certain prop-erties being nuisance.”

Examining the continued need for the city to have police in order to en-force ordinances, as well as to have

law enforcement in general, the coun-cil also approved the submitting of a CLEOSE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education) application to the State.

“We don’t have an enforcement of-ficer right now and in order to get one we have to fill out that application, pay a fee, and that gives the city the capability of hiring police officers to enforce all of the city ordinances,” ex-plained Estes.

Estes states that the city will be able to hire part-time officers from law enforcement departments within the county, such as Nixon Police Depart-ment and the Gonzales County Sher-riff ’s Department, among others.

The hired officer will still be with their respective department, but will also work for the City of Smiley on a part-time basis.

On Dec. 21 The GISD Education Foun-dation held a drawing for a Guided Exotic Red Stagg or Fallow Deer Hunt at a local Gonzales ranch. The Foundation received anonymous donations that included a guided hunt on a local Gonzales ranch, dressing and caping the deer and free shoulder mount.

Board members sold over 100 tickets, priced at $100 each. Kevin Pirkle, the win-ner, will take his guided hunt before the

end of February. Funds raised will help the Foundation in

its mission to provide resources that enrich teaching, inspire learning and maximize innovative opportunities for all students in the GISD School District. The Foundation recently awarded grants to three teachers that will provide additional resources to develop creative learning opportunities in their classrooms. The board hopes to make a fundraiser of this nature an annual event.

There are many good and capable stu-dents in Texas public schools that can, and want to learn. However, these students are being sacrifice for the sake of political correctness, government regulations, and teachers unions.

The Texas state legislature is being lob-bied by liberal groups who are demanding more money for public education. But is more money the answer? What about the students who want to learn versus those who don’t want to learn?

First, there is the environment of po-litical correctness where student discipline has been thrown out the window for fear of law suits, and falling short on regula-tory measurements. Students cannot be disciplined at school, and their disruptive behavior is tolerated while good students suffer.

Furthermore, the home environment is ignored because “education experts” re-fuse to recognize that parents must value education and learning for their children to value academic achievement. Teach-ers have become “nannies” or “substitute parents”. A religious leader once said “no other success can compensate for failure in the home”. A student’s academic success or failure begins in the home with the parents.

Another impediment for personal aca-demic achievement in public schools is government regulations. Regulations are idealistic and realistic, and create a “one size fits all” approach to teaching by de-manding and expecting equal academic achievement from all students. Regulations also stifle teachers’ creativity because they serve bureaucrats, not for students.

Students are also not rewarded because of personal academic achievement, but rather for complying with government regulatory requirements. Ethnicity, race, gender, and other social factors are more important than personal academic achievement.

If education experts and bureaucrats know so much, why not put them in a classroom and measure their success in pilot programs before they demand public

money? Bureaucrats only want more tax payer money, and ignore their failures.

Then there are the teachers’ unions. The unions exist only to protect the teachers’ jobs, not to serve the students. Unions pro-tect bad and incompetent teachers at the expense of the students and parents. They also ignore their failures but demand more tax payer money for more teaching jobs, and thus more union members.

The worst part of this situation is how unions and government bureaucrats lobby and fund liberal politicians like San An-tonio’s state representative Mike Villarreal to demand more tax payer money. Villar-real is leading the liberal charge to demand more tax payer money, while he ignores the failures of the current public school system. To exemplify the incestuous politi-cal relationship among liberals, Villarreal’s wife Jeanne Russell, designed the San An-tonio Pre-Kinder program for Mayor Cas-tro which will cost San Antonio resident millions in new taxes. Castro and Villarreal are now promoting the program as a model for Texas.

More tax payer money is not the an-swer. Students who want to learn should be separated from those who don’t. Parents should be taught the long term value of ed-ucation for generations to come. Academic success begins in the home and with the individual, not with a bureaucrat or union leader, and certainly not with a self-serving politician.

“If Congress refuses to act, I’ve said that I’ll continue to do every-thing in my power to act without them.”

“Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you.”

How ashamed of us our forefa-thers would be.

Our Gonzales ancestors went to war against the foremost military power on the content in 1835 be-cause the government demanded they return a useless piece of mili-tary surplus. What would they think of us “debating” and “discuss-ing” what to do about a tyrant who has made it clear he intends to rip away our rights, Constitution be

damned?Their compatriots in Boston and

Philadelphia took on the world’s foremost military power in 1776 because they were taxed without their consent. They stood their ground and fought when that gov-ernment sought to take their arms away.

As of Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2013, the United States is no longer a Constitutional Republic. As Abra-ham Lincoln and so many others warned us, we have been over-thrown from within.

President Obama’s unveiling Wednesday of a multi-pronged at-tack on the Second Amendment that bypasses both Congress and the Constitution ushers in the age

of dictatorship.Even if challenged successfully

in the courts, it has set a prec-edent that future Chief Executives will learn from — establish law by bureaucratic regulation and dare Congress or the States to do some-thing about it.

Congressman Steve Stockman said he’d launch impeachment pro-ceedings if Mr. Obama tried this. Forgive me if I don’t hold out much hope for that avenue.

We saw how well that worked last time, didn’t we? Even with a Republican Congress in charge, they couldn’t remove a President who openly admitted he’d broken the law by lying to a federal grand jury.

There are those who adamantly proclaim that this will get over-turned by Congress or in the courts, and they might be accurate in that. But let’s face it, folks: long before Congress can do anything constructive, Mr. Obama’s legis-lation by regulation will be en-trenched and established, buried within massive tomes of miniscule regulations, impossible to dislodge.

You remember last November, when Republicans promised to “rip Obamacare out by the roots?” Funny, that hasn’t happened yet.

You have only to see what’s left of your first paycheck of 2013 to see how much faith we can place in Congress to protect us.

Remember back when that guy in the White House told us all that no one who makes less than $250,000 would see any kind of tax hike? So, how’s that working out for you?

I have no doubt you’re enjoying what’s left of your first paycheck of the year as much as I’m enjoying what’s left of mine. And I daresay that most of those reading this col-umn, like me, make a whole lot less than $250,000 a year.

Of course, those of us who actu-ally work for a living are aware of the two-faced nature of Washing-ton, D.C. and its most despicable inhabitant.

Back in 2006, for example, while campaigning for his current job, he said: “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership

failure. It is a sign that the U.S. gov-ernment cannot pay its own bills.”

Just the other day, on the other hand, the story had changed: “To even entertain the idea (of not rais-ing the debt limit) ... is irrespon-sible. It’s absurd.”

As Americans, we need to face a hard fact: The government of the United States is broken, and no amount of “praying” or “voting for conservatives” is going to fix it. It’s simple math: we’re outnumbered and the numbers will never get any better.

The progressives have control over the mainstream news media and entertainment, the control what is being taught to our children, and they have learned how to defraud the voting process with impunity. The government has pointedly eschewed its Constitutional duty to control our borders, and allows the progressives to import as many new “voters” as they want, whenever they want.

How would our forefathers react to what is going on today in Wash-ington, D.C.?

Our forefathers would be shooting by now, that’s what they’d be doing.

When my dad was badly weakened by the flu and my mom wanted to call an ambu-lance to take him to the emergency room, he wouldn’t go unless he could shave first and change into a nice shirt and a pair of slacks. My mom told him they don’t have a dress code at ER. He insisted.

My dad, who didn’t survive his illness, was thoroughly old school. He would no more wear a pair of jeans than rainbow-striped clown pants. Born in 1929, he never lost his belief in the standards of a bygone era or his passion for its literature, culture and history.

He taught English for decades at what was then Trinity College in Washington, D.C., with an emphasis on American literature of the 1920s and 1930s. He was a teacher’s teacher who devoted himself to transfer-ring, as much as he could, his love for Hemingway and Faulkner to his students.

He adored big-band music -- Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and the rest of them. He whistled and hummed their tunes constantly around the house. When we played recordings of the greats for him in the hospital, he hummed along through his oxygen mask.

He was a committed World War II buff. Nothing would ever seem as momentous to him as the clash of great armies over the fate of civilization that was in the headlines ev-ery day of his youth. He might have missed his calling as a military historian. His book-shelves were a veritable research library on the armaments of World War II.

He was a private man and very self-con-tained. I never saw him cry and never heard him raise his voice. Swearing was out of the question. He didn’t hug, if he could possibly avoid it. But he may have had the tender-est heart of anyone I have ever known. He spoiled the cats horribly, fed the birds lav-ishly and always endeavored to find a way to usher insects out of the house without doing them any harm.

He was a devoted husband and father. I’m always a sucker for sentimental father-son baseball scenes in movies. It brings back the times my dad would throw batting practice or hit fly balls to me down at the local field on summer nights. On the walk back home -- with the overused ball stained green from the grass -- he would put his arm around me and tell me stories of the game.

Whatever lessons I have learned in life in the importance of patience and diligence began when he assembled a model tank with me as a kid. He believed in excellence, in duty and in self-control. He was a con-stant reader, beginning with the newspa-pers every morning (I told you he was old school), and an inveterate self-educator. He always had something next on his list that he wanted to learn more about, and in the spirit of a tinkerer -- he baked and had dabbled through the years in woodworking, gardening and bricklaying -- always another project. He had a trial at the very end, but was dignified to his last breath. RIP.

Dear Editor,After all the support that

I’ve received from all the great friends and family, I know that it’s impossible to individually thank all of you for what you’ve done without leaving someone out. Just know that from the bottom of my heart I ap-preciate everything that the great people of this commu-nity have done for me. Y’all make the fight much more bearable knowing I have y’all behind me.

I also have been blessed with the most loving and supportive family that God could have assembled. I would not trade any of you the world and I realize that this process has been hard on y’all too. I love y’all and thanks for everything.

While this disease takes its toll on its victims physi-cally, I believe it takes that strength and distributes it elsewhere. During these two months I’ve had a lot of time to simply think about the occurrences, memories, and mishaps of my life. I have evolved my way of think-ing about life as a whole. To have it being so close to be-ing taken away from me, I now cherish each day in this life as a gift from God.

A couple nights before being diagnosed with ALL, (Acute Lymphoblastic Leu-kemia) I thought I was on top of the world having some beers and catching ar-madillos with my brothers, my boy Caleb, and my cous-ins Craig and Chris. Never would it have occurred to me that my life would flip in mere hours.

From this I learned that each day we have is a gift and our life is vulnerable. God has a plan for each of us and I firmly believe that He will guide me thru this speed-bump. Although a long and sometimes painful process, I will strive to take it day by day and live my life according to His will.

For those of you reading this, may I give you a New Year’s resolution. In this new year, identify the things you love the most and com-mit to them day in and day out with the passion and love they deserve. To your loved ones, let them know you care and always be there for them. My family has done this for me and I only wish everyone could experi-ence that love and support. Do what you love and do it often.

If I could rewind all of this and know that I was going to be diagnosed with leukemia on November 13,

2012, I would have begged my brothers to go hog hunt-ing every waking minute. It may sound ridiculous, but now that it is withheld from me for quite some time, I cherish that aspect of my life even more.

Live life for today and cherish the little things. Time is the essence of life, use it doing what you love with who you love.

Responding to‘Hate’ letterDear Editor,

This letter is in response to Ken Mosher’s letter which appeared in the Gonzales Inquirer on Jan. 4, 2013.

Mr. Mosher, really! I started not to respond to the dribble that was published, but I just had to give up my thoughts.

If, by America-Hating Republicans, you mean the America that the Marx-ists (Democratic) party are creating, I couldn’t agree more with you. America is becoming a cesspool of nonsense created by po-liticans of both parties. But especially dangerous is the immoral Democratic Party. They have been in the fore-front of every immoral issue to come up, from prayer in schools, homosexual rights, gay marriage, destroying the family, etc. They will pay a heavy price in the future.

I hate the America that allows abortion on demand. When almost 95 percent of all abortions are performed becuase the baby wlil be an inconvenience for the mother, it is a moral issue, not a “health” issue. Even in the case of rape or incest, it is still a moral issue. Why kill a baby due to no fault of its own?

I hate the America that allows the Federal Govern-ment to grow and become more and more intrusive in our daily lives, One can hardly get out of bed with-out breaking some kind of law.

I hate the America that elects a know-nothing, do-nothing person like Obama. What a waste of a President! Is this the best we could do, America? Really. You can also add Clinton’s name to this list along with every Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives and Sen-ate. I was no Romney fan, but he would have been a much better choice.

I hate the America that allows illegal immigration

to go unchallenged. That allows these deadbeats to come across our border and suck on the teats of the taxpayers and contribute NOTHING to America, and instead demand we do more to take care of their sorry butts! Send them back, now!

I could go on and on, but space won’t allow it. I take some comfort in knowing what when the time comes and America falls due to its ignorance of issues, the Marxists will be right there with me suffering.

Barack Hussein Obama. Really? America could not have made a worse decision, not once, but twice! God help us!

Player seekingnational fundingDear Editor,

For those of you who may not know me well or maybe even at all, my name is Lizzy Opiela. I am a senior at St. Paul High School. I am an honor roll student on top of having two jobs. Softball is my life and my passion. For the past two years my team and I have won the state championship 2A title and I have received several indi-vidual awards while playing my heart out in the tourna-ment.

I have played for going on 15 years now. I can play anywhere my team needs me but my desire is at third base.

I have been nominated to play on the national softball team in Oklahoma City this May and I have never want-ed something so bad in my life. When I go there, it is my chance to make my dreams come true, playing in col-lege and maybe even the Olympics. I never thought I would be given this chance and now my hard work is finally paying off.

I have been asked to join the Softball factory National team competing in the Col-lege World Series Select Training event in Oklahoma City this May. My financial obligation is to fund-raise $1,999 to cover my expens-es. I love softball and hope you will be able to help.

Ruger spokesman Ken Jorgenson talks gunsThis is a transcription from

the “News from the Camp-house” radio program that airs at 6:30 a.m. every Saturday morning on KULM 98.3 FM.

Brune: Ken, what’s your position with Ruger?

Jorgenson: I’m the director of media relations and shoot-ing sports.

Brune: The market has been good for Ruger in the past few years. Is that correct?

Jorgenson: The past few years have been special. We’ve got a lot of new products that have driven a lot of sales.

Brune: This past week, an email has circulated ex-pounding that Ruger will help people message their legislators.

Jorgenson: Yes, I hope that email has been widely received. It’s a program we started to help people contact their elected officials at both the state and national lev-els. Go on the Ruger website and you’ll find a button that will ask you to put in your name, address, and email. Then when you put your zip code in, it will pull up your elected officials. There is a letter there that says gun rights are very important and the related issues that af-fect law-abiding gun owners must be addressed. We need to convince the people that make the rules that “we” the law-abiding gun owners are not the problem. We need to send them that message. And I checked the numbers. In the first five days that we started this program, 540,000 people have sent this letter to their legislators – that’s tremen-dous. But let’s keep it going and let our lawmakers know that we’re out here and we’re watching.

Brune: Ruger has also done some work in conjunction with the NRA.

Jorgenson: Yes, last year we had the million gun chal-lenge. We were going to build a million guns from the NRA Show in 2011 until the show in 2012, and we’d donate a dollar to the NRA for every

gun we sold. We more than accomplished our goal. In the end we wrote a check for $1,257,000 and we’d like to thank all our customers that contributed to that success.

Brune: Is that program on-going?

Jorgenson: No, that was a one-shot deal. Our produc-tion facilities have grown tremendously in the past few years. We’ve added a lot of new engineering staff and come up with some great new designs. We have a pro-gram that we call “Voice of the Customer”. That’s where we go to gun shows and hunt-ing shows and ask consumers what they’re looking for. Our .380 is a product of that. It’s a small conceal carry weapon that was described as a need by our customers. We ask people what they want so that when the product comes out we know there is a market for the product.

Brune: Is there a fear of hit-ting a wall? Gun sales have been up for so long in the current political climate; do you predict a drop in sales any time soon?

Jorgenson: There is always a concern. Gun sales in the ‘90’s went up and then dropped. In 2008 gun sales began to climb and everyone wondered how long it would last. And it has plateaued but never dropped off. We’ve had several strong years of sales and now sales are again climbing. There’s a lot of rhetoric that may be driving sales. Nobody knows what will happen. People are concerned about their abili-ties to buy and own various firearms. And we’re seeing a lot of new gun buyers. People are discovering that shoot-ing is fun, there are a lot of competitive events, and a lot of folks are buying for self-

protection. We urge new buyers to learn how to shoot, be safe, and realize that with all the new gun buyers gun ownership becomes more mainstream.

Brune: What about empty shelves in the stores?

Jorgenson: This is a reflec-tion of the industry. We’ve probably doubled produc-tion and can’t keep up. I also attribute it to our engineers, sales, and production folks that make such good prod-ucts. There is a huge demand. We’ve more than tripled production on our 1911 pis-tol and still can’t keep up. So I ask people to be patient. We’re increasing production all the time and appreciate consumer support.

Brune: Your hunting rifle division has seen some im-provements and growth.

Jorgenson: One of the ex-citing new products is the New American Rifle we’re making. It’s unique and a high-value firearm. It has a synthetic stock and is very consistent. It free floats the barrel and has a consumer adjustable trigger. This rifle is phenomenally accurate. We took several gun writ-ers to the range and they were all hitting targets at 700 yards with a 30.06. Now, we’re talking about a rifle that retails at $449. One of the writers shot a sub-two-inch group at 300 yards. That’s pretty good for a shooting iron in that price range.

Brune: But it’s the pistol division that established Ruger.

Jorgenson: The hand-gun started this company in 1949 with a .22 pistol. Handguns are our founda-tion and they’ve become the working man’s standard.

Brune: Are there any sales demographics that indicate where guns are more wel-come?

Jorgenson: There are cer-tainly areas that are more gun-friendly. There are places with more hunters. But when you notice the rise in buyers for personal pro-tection – it is more urban-dwellers buying guns and that is probably more evenly distributed nationwide.

SONG: Honors Battle of Gonzalesthe right spot to put it out,” he said.

The current political climate fits the song well, he said.

“It’s been getting some attention,” he said. “Our nation has a lot to learn from your history down there. I hope one day I can make it to Gonzales and sing the song there.”

Vaus also records children’s songs under the name Buck Howdy, where he has been nominated for four Grammy Awards and won the 2010 award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children.

He is also known for his Christmas re-cordings including The Stars Come Out for Christmas series, and for his political

recordings such as a TSA pat-down protest song, Joan B. Kroc-commissioned Hiroshi-ma commemoration song, and a pro-im-peachment Clinton-era song.In 1992, Vaus charted at number 68 on Hot Country Songs with “We Must Take America Back.”

“There are two sides to my career,” Vaus said. “About 10 years ago, when my kids were young, I was very disappointed that there was not a lot of quality music out there. So I recorded some, mainly so my kids could have something to listen to in the car. Some of my friends heard it and they passed it along, and one day a music company in Nashville called and wanted to release it.”

“There are some days I’ll do a Buck Howdy concert and then do one at a dif-ferent venue that’s completely different,” he chuckled. “I’ve always liked to do songs with conservative, patriotic, American and Christian touches.”

Vaus has played several events in which Texas Gov. Rick Perry has appeared, and revealed the Governor may have been sit-ting on this gem of a song for a while.

“Rick Perry keeps a couple of songs on his IPOD, I know he has ‘Come and Take It,’” Vaus said. “As a country, we’d better wake up and smell the coffee.”


broken as a result of repeated blows.A total of 10 witnesses were sworn in to

open the proceeding; eight of them were there to speak in support of DuBose. Defense attor-ney Eddie Escobar’s first witness was Wrape, now DuBose’s fiance and mother of his two-month old daughter.

DuBose, a veteran of the U. S. Marine Corps, was diagnosed with post traumatic stress syn-drome (PTSD). Wrape testified about how she noticed the effects of PTSD wearing on DuBose, causing him to suffer from anxiety, depression and insomnia.

“He had a hard time sleeping and would get very anxious,” she said. “He has to take his medication to treat it.”

She added that DuBose informed her from prison that he was being denied access to his medication by prison officials, even though they were prescribed to him by the Veterans Administration.

“I feel like jail is setting him up for failure,” Wrape said. “It’s not giving him a chance for a good future.”

Assistant District Attorney Michael Mark examined Wrape on cross-examination and asked her if DuBose was on his medication on the day he attacked Toliver.

“I knew he was taking it but I didn’t always watch him do it,” she said. “You would have to ask him.”

“So assuming he was taking his medication, he still assaulted Deputy Toliver?” asked Mark.

“Yes, he did,” Wrape replied.Some compelling testimony was given by

William Miller, DuBose’s former roommate. Miller, a deputy with the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office, was sharing a lodging with DuBose at that time.

Mark asked Miller which of the two parties (DuBose or Toliver) was the loser of their al-tercation and the response left Mark incredu-lous.

“It was James,” Miller said with conviction. “He was put in a bad situation that only got worse. He ended up with injuries.”

“As severe as Deputy Toliver’s injuries?” asked Mark in disbelief. “If it was anybody other than James DuBose who had beaten a police officer within an inch of his life, you wouldn’t want them on the street would you?”

“No,” Miller eventually replied.Three of DuBose’s former employers told

the court that DuBose was an ideal employee who was hard-working and always did as he was told. Each of them expressed the senti-ment that they would hire DuBose again if given the chance.

“I know how hard a worker he is,” said Cole Applegate. “I don’t feel like he would be a threat to me or anybody else if released.”

Throughout the hearing, Mark kept char-acterizing DuBose as someone who has no respect for authority and does as he sees fit. He cited two infractions on DuBose’s current prison progress report as examples of that be-havior.

According to reports, DuBose was cited for destroying state’s property on Nov. 19 after he broke a broom handle by striking plexiglass. DuBose would eventually receive 15 days of solitary confinement as a result.

During his testimony, DuBose said what took place was not an act of violence.

“It was a miscommunication between me and a guard,” he explained. “He had closed the door and was walking away. I grabbed a broom handle and slammed it against the glass to get his attention.”

The second infraction on DuBose’s prison report occurred when DuBose refused to ac-cept a new housing assignment. He explained why his rebuff of the transfer was not an act of defiance.

“A lot of gang members try to make a name for themselves by beating up on former mili-tary,” said DuBose. “I feared for my safety in that dorm....there were 50 guys in there. In TDC, you have to do whatever you can to stay alive.”

DuBose testified that even though he is be-

ing denied his medication, he is taking steps toward bettering himself. He said he reads lots of books about business, participates in Bible studies and is learning Spanish as a second language.

“Prison is an ugly place,” DuBose said. “I can’t even talk to Black or Hispanic person in most cases because of the racism and the violence. Prison touches you in a way that not even war can.”

Mark was aggressive during his cross ex-amination and his interrogation method soon drew the ire of DuBose.

“You’re doing that thing that lawyers do,” he told Mark. “You’re playing a game that lawyers like to play.”

“This is a game to you?” asked Mark.“It’s not a game to me or to my family or to

this judge,” DuBose said firmly.Mark went on to recount past instances of

DuBose’s bad behavior, citing two times when DuBose hit his ex-wife and when he hit his sergeant during active duty. DuBose declined to speak about the former, but said the latter was a consensual fight between Marines.

“We were both non-commissioned offi-cers who decided to settle a disagreement,” explained DuBose. “He’s still a good friend of mine to this day.”

“You’re trying to make it sound like I’m just going around hitting people and that’s ridicu-lous. I went and fought for freedom and this is how you use it. You should have more pride in America than to talk to me the way you do using these disgusting tactics.”

After the defense rested, the State called Sgt. Toliver to the witness stand. He told the court that he still suffers from the injuries he received on Feb. 9, 2011.

“I used to be able to stand up for long peri-ods of time, but I can’t anymore because of my back,” he said.

The next witness was Torres, who said she was afraid of DuBose because he used to hit her when they were married. She also recalled the details of the attack and said she didn’t see any remorse in DuBose’s face when it was over.

“He would always make these threats,” she said. “I had to take my daughter to the doc-tor for seizures because she’s afraid that he’ll come back to hurt us. I’d fear for our safety if he’s released.”

Torres was cross-examined by defense at-torney Noel Reese, who pointed out “friendly” correspondence between Torres and DuBose since DuBose has been in prison.

“But this is a man you’re afraid of?” Reese asked wryly.

During an impressive closing argument, Es-cobar told Old that the desires and opinions of witnesses and victims (of this case) should not apply in making his decision. He also pointed out that shock probation is still a punishment.

“If it were granted to him, it wouldn’t mean he gets away with anything,” said Escobar. “It doesn’t mean he just gets to walk away because there are conditions. This probation is hard.”

Escobar said the court should look at Du-Bose’s desire to be with family, treat his condi-tion and further his education as an assurance of his compliance.

“If that’s not enough motivation then I don’t know what is,” he said.

Mark spent his closing urging Old to view DuBose’s past bad behavior as recur-ring events.

“We have a pattern of a man who does not follow the rules and always blames someone else for his behavior,” said Mark. “He’s shown you what type of man he is...he doesn’t conform to society. We have a place for those type of people and it’s called prison.”

“Leave him in the pen because that’s where he deserves to be.”

At the conclusion of the hearing, Old was asked by DuBose’s lawyers to review the transcripts of the expert testimony given on DuBose’s behalf during his trial. Old agreed and said he anticipates making a ruling by the end of the week.

DuBose is being held at the Gonzales County Jail during Old’s deliberations.

Gonzales featured on ‘daytripper’The latest edition of Texas Highways magazine features a piece from Chet Gar-ner’s “The Daytripper” talking about spending a day hitting the spots of interest in Gonzales. Garner’s show appears on PBS. “Gonzales has been the backdrop for some of Texas’ most heroic and dramatic events, and it still shares that same independent spirit with every-one who comes to town,” Garner writes.

AUSTIN — Rep. Tim Kleinschmidt has an-nounced the Texas Department of State Health Services has awarded Emergency Medical Ser-vices Local Project Grants to three communi-ties in his District 17.

During the 23 years the funds have been available, DSHS has funded 2,470 grant propos-als for a total of $26.7 million.

This year DSHS was able to fund 82 of the 103 eligible proposals that were received, in-

cluding Bastrop County First Responder Asso-ciation, Gonzales Volunteer Ambulance Corps, dba Gonzales County EMS & Rescue, and Lockhart EMS.

Grant recipients use the money for the pur-chase of much needed equipment, training, public education programs, and supplies. Most of the funds go directly to emergency providers who are saving the lives of ill and injured Texans each day.

The weather has been beautiful but February has not come and gone. We get some of our coldest weather in February. We also have Valentine’s Day in February so you had better start plan-ning what you are going to get for your sweetie. The stores have it all planned for you. They have chocolate candy of all descriptions, plush stuffed animals, aprons and oven mitts, greeting cards, and money grams. You had better start looking now to narrow your choices down. We don’t have to go far to eat. The Belmont Social Club is shaping up a heart shaped rib eye special, but you better reserve one because they are special made.

The following people need your prayers and encourage-ment: Joe Kotwig, Paul Villa-real, Glenn Malatek, Mr. Bill, Jesse Esparza; Bill and Marie Lott, “Sarge” Dunkin; Louise Jones, Aunt Georgie Gan-dre; Danny and Joyce Schel-lenberg, Velma and Bobby Bullard; Mildred O’Neal, Rhonda Pruett, Matt and Betty Lou, Terrence, Aunt Frances Gandre, Kathryn, Glenn Mikesh, Maria Cas-tillo, Selma Vickers, Landis, Gene Robinson, Keith Glass, Timothy and Jack Black, Te-resa Wilke, Linda Denker, Case Martin, Sandi Gandre, Aunt Betty Gandre, Carol and husband, Shirley Dozier, Marie Schauer, Esther Lin-demann, Anna Lindemann, Mary and Pete Camarillo, Mandy and Wm. (Ressie) Brietschopf, Lanny Baker, Bob Young, Lucy Jones, Ann Bond; Marguerite Williams, Big John, Todd, Rita, And our troops and their families. Thank you God for the rain, Pray for our government and our congress

We are so happy that Keith Glass is home in Gonzales. A person always does bet-ter in a home atmosphere. It will take a lot to get settled down into a routine, but in the long run it will be a lot easier for his children and family to see him. They will not have to travel the miles on the road. We love you Keith and we are still pray-ing for you.

Matt, who is the hus-band of Betty Lou Wilson, (Wade Wilson’s sister) had his planned amputation of his leg this past week. Matt had injured the leg when he fell off of a ladder. It would not heal properly. This was a total disaster for Matt. He drove a big rig and it was his right leg. He drove many a mile in terrible pain and in a boot and the leg just could not get well so they had to amputate it right below his knee. That surgery went well so maybe he will at least be out of some of the pain he has been having. They need your prayers especially since he is off work during all of this recuperation time.

I touched base with some-one who had gone to see

Ann Bond. She is in a San Marcos nursing home. She is just there and doesn’t know anyone. This is sad, but this is just what happens and we need to pray for all involved.

We went to the doctor for this hand of mind. I don’t like it when doctors go Hm-mmm---and drag it out for-ever and then sit there with this puzzled look on their faces. That is just not a good sign. So maybe it could be connected with your Crohn’s Disease, maybe it could be Rheumatoid Arthritis, well let’s just run all this battery of blood tests and see what they tell us. Then we will go from there. Sounds just like a blasted doctor.

We have birthdays this week. On Friday we cel-ebrate Joe Kotwig’s and Kathleen Allen’s birthday. Of course both of them are 39 years old and holding. On the 27th, Tony Black has a birthday and I think that he is just holding on. Linda Warzecha, Sherri Schellen-berg, Leigh Anne Soefje, and Margaret Taylor all have birthdays too. We wish you many more Happy Birth-days.

Oh and I am in trouble. I have been told that I forgot Flo Blundell’s birthday way back around the first part of January. I am sorry Flo. You are going to have to beat me with twenty Avon books. She has that many too. You just watch her. She will be walking along and there is one of those Avon books coming out of her left ear, her right hand has four or five and on it goes. They jump from her car right into yours. It’s magical. The lotion is on your arm. The bubble is in your tub. You don’t have any idea how it got there but it is there.

That is about as magi-cal as things disappearing in this house due to thief Samson. That demon cat is unbelievable. I cut up one small onion to put in soup and I just happen to leave about ¼ inch of that mesh sticking out of my cabinet. It still had four small onions in it. All of a sudden here go the onions across the kitch-en floor. Now if I would not have caught Samson with those onions, I would have had to go onion hunting. If there is anything that crack-les or glitters and it is not nailed down, that cat steals it. Samson is especially fond of keys. And don’t you know when you need keys, you need keys, and you need them right now!!

Have a good week, and God Bless.

Cold (but sweet)February coming

Cuero Livestock Market ReportCuero Livestock Market Report on January

18, 2013, had 1,398 head.Had 138 cows and 11 bulls. The packer mar-

ket lost what it gained two weeks ago dropping an average of $2/cwt. Most due to a lower live cattle market and increased marketings.

The calf market was mixed as calves over 500 lbs were off $3/$5/cwt while lighter calves were stronger to steady with last week’s runaway market. A lot of interest from all buyers on all classes. Definitely no holes in the market. Ad-verse news in the panhandle over a plant clos-ing hurt the fat market and consequently the

heavier end of the calf market.Packer Bulls: Hvy. Wts., $87-$100; lower

grades, $67-$85.Packer cows: breakers, $65-$75; boning,

$65-$80; canners & cutters, $66-$82; light & weak, $55-$65.

Palpated dry Cows sold well, $100-$114.Had deals of bred cows that sold by the hd

for $1,340-$1,450 each.Pairs: one pair, $1,620.Steer calves: under 200 lbs, none; 200-250

Meetings set for publicinput on river studies

SEGUIN — On Jan. 29-30, the Texas Instream Flow Program will hold two pub-lic meetings in Seguin and Victoria to gain local per-spectives and knowledge for technical studies about how much water is needed in the lower Guadalupe River to maintain a healthy environ-ment.

The program is an initia-tive of three state agencies – the Texas Commission on Environmental Qual-ity (TCEQ), Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and Texas Water Development Board. For the study of the lower Guadalupe River, the Texas Instream Flow Pro-gram will be partnering with the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA).

“We’re actively seeking public input in order to en-sure local knowledge and in-terests are represented in the studies,” said Mark Wentzel of the Texas Water Develop-ment Board.

The first meeting will be held at the GBRA River An-nex, located at 905 Nolen Street in Seguin, at 6:30 p.m. The second meeting will take place in Victoria at the Vic-toria Community Center, lo-cated at 2905 E. North Street, and begin at 12:30 p.m.

Refreshments will be served during both meet-ings. Although it is not re-quired, prospective attend-ees are asked to RSVP by January 28 by emailing [email protected] or calling

512-936-0817.The Guadalupe River

originates at the confluence of its North and South Forks in Kerr County and stretches over 400 miles through eight counties, until it enters San Antonio Bay. The river is a valuable resource, providing for the daily needs of people, industry, agriculture, and the environment. The river is also much loved for its beauty and the recreational opportunities it provides.

The Texas Instream Flow Program will study the lower portion of the river, beginning below the city of Seguin, to its confluence with the lower San Antonio River. This stretch of river travels approximately 230 miles through Guadalupe, Gonzales, DeWitt, Victoria, and Calhoun counties. Ap-proximately 275,000 people live in these counties.

After the public meetings on January 29 and 30, work-shops will be held to help the Texas Instream Flow Program develop a study de-sign for the lower Guadalupe River. For more information about the Texas Instream Flow Program, visit http://www.twdb.state.tx.us/sur-facewater/flows/instream/index.asp.

The Instream Flow Pro-gram was created by state lawmakers in 2001 to de-termine how much water is needed to maintain a healthy environment for rivers and streams across Texas.

Mary Laura Bass,1915-2012

BASSMary Laura Bass, 97

of Gonzales, formerly of Moody, passed away Mon-day, January 21. She was born November 26, 1915 in Moody to Samuel Edward Duncan and Annie Eliza-beth Appleberry Duncan.

She graduated from high school and attended busi-ness school before marry-ing Henry Harold Bass in October of 1930 in Moody. Mary was a member of the Church of Christ in Moody.

She was a homemaker most of her life. She was an excellent mother with never a cross word spoken to her children or hus-band. She loved to bake, work crossword puzzles and work in her flower and vegetable garden. She en-joyed reading, crocheting afghans but always put her family first. She sincerely believed that family should take care of family.

Mary was a religious per-son and read the Bible cov-er to cover several times. She was very private, pre-ferring to be a very produc-tive member of society in

the shadows of those that wanted acclaim.

Mary went to beauty school at age 50 in Bryan and worked as a beautician in Somerville after her hus-band died in a car accident while working on the Rob-ert E. Lee Dam near San Angelo. Certainly her faith carried her through this very difficult time.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Betty and William Hull of Gonzales; son, Harold Edward Bass of Gonza-les; grandchildren, Chuck Hull, Rick Hull and his wife Janie, Mike Hull; great-grandchildren, Eric Hull, Kirstie Hull, Ryan Hull, Kayla Hull; and a great-great-grandchild, Hailey Hull, all of Gonzales. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; sis-ters, Gladys Dunkin, Helen McMahan, Lou Denny, Marcelle Claxton; and a brother, John Duncan.

A memorial graveside service will be held at a lat-er date in the Moody City Cemetery. Honorary pall-bearers will be grandchil-dren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchild. Memorials may be made to the American Epilepsy Society (AES), 342North Main Street, Ste #301, West Hartford, CT 06117-2507, or the Gonzales Texan Nursing and Rehab Activi-ties Department.

Services are under the care and direction of Sey-dler-Hill Funeral Home of Gonzales.

BISHOPLynn Bishop, age 60 of

Yoakum and formerly of Smiley, died January 16. She was born in Alice on July 1, 1952.

Lynn is preceded in death by her parents, James and Zada (Bell) McManus;

her daughter, Cori Bishop; and her brother, Rusty Mc-Manus. She is survived by her daughter, Chaney Egg-emeyer and husband Brian of Yoakum; three grand-sons: Matt, Scott and Brett Eggemeyer of Yoakum; her sister, Chara Helton of Vic-toria; numerous nieces and nephews; as well as other relatives and many friends.

Funeral service was held Friday, Jan. 18, at Finch Chapel with the Rev. Har-lene Sadler officiating. In-terment followed at the Bundick Cemetery near Smiley.

Ethel Lee Derry Warren Clayborne, 1915-2012

CLAYBORNEEthel Lee Derry War-

ren Clayborne was called home to be with our Lord Sunday, December 16, 2012.

Ethel Lee Derry Clay-borne was the tenth child born to the late Grant and Medora Derry on April 26, 1915. At an early age she confessed a hope in Christ as her personal savior and united with Mount Olive Baptist church, Armstrong Col-ony, Waelder, Texas. She

was baptized by the late Rev. N.S. Brown. Her par-ents instilled in all their children the importance of being a devoted Chris-tian. As the scripture says, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work,” John 9:4.

Ethel Derry united in Holy Matrimony to the late Theron Warren, Sr. in 1938. To this union three children were born, Ethel, Dolores and Theron War-ren Jr.

Ethel Derry attended grade school at Albrecht Colored School in Arm-strong Colony, Waelder, Texas. She completed high school and junior college at Guadalupe Col-lege in Seguin, Texas. She received her B.S. degree in Home Economics in 1949 and Masters of Edu-cation in 1957 at Prairie View A&M College. She received her Special Edu-cation certification from Incarnate Word College in 1979. Ethel also received an Honorary Doctorate of Humanity from Guadal-upe College.

Her teaching career of 47 years included teaching in the Muldoon School, Albrecht Colored School, Flatonia Colored Normal School/Frederick Douglas Elementary School, Fla-tonia Public School and Harris Middle School in San Antonio I.S.D. The experience carried her from Head Start through 12th.

Ethel was an active member in her church and community serving in many capacities. She served as Church Pianist for Mount Olive Baptist Church, Waelder, Texas, Bethel Baptist Church, Sealy, Texas, Center Union Baptist Church, Buda, Texas, St. Joseph Baptist Church, San Antonio, Texas and the Mt. Eden Baptist Church, Waelder, Texas. She also served as Choir Director and Pianist for the LaGrange Western Landmark Dis-trict Association.

Her loyalty and dedica-tion has truly been reflect-ed through her Christian work and service. Her in-volvement with the youth included Sunday school teacher, Baptist Train-ing Union Teacher, Vaca-tion Bible School Teacher and Youth Leader. Ethel served as Secretary of the Guadalupe College Alum-ni and the Ministers and Deacons wives organiza-tion, Mission President, Adult Bible Teacher and Musician at the Ella Aus-tin Community Center in San Antonio, Texas. She was also a member of the

Eastern Star Independent Chapter #500 in Austin, Texas and the Waelder New Millennium Lions Club.

Ethel received nu-merous awards for her outstanding service in church, school and vol-unteer work. In addition to her volunteer work, she traveled to Israel to visit the Holy Land.

Sis. Ethel Derry Clay-borne taught piano les-sons and devoted many hours as a senior volun-teer. She will be remem-bered as someone who enjoyed gardening, needle point, quilting and sew-ing.

The Ethel Derry/Joy Avery Rural Water Well on Farm 1115 represents Ethel Derry Clayborne’s pursuit of good work in her community.

It was also her desire to preserve our Black Heritage in the commu-nity. The Mount Olive Museum, formerly the school teachery, the park and pavilion stands today because of her desire to preserve our heritage for future generations.

She fulfilled her dream as founder of Guadalupe College Waelder Exten-sion Seminary where she taught mission and music. She truly gave her time, devotion and dedication to the church and com-munity.

In 1961, Ethel Derry was united in Holy Matri-mony to the late Rev. O.B. Clayborne. She was very active in support of his ministry.

Ethel Derry Clayborne leaves to mourn and cherish her memory, two daugh-ters; Ethel E. Nunn (Albert L.), Dolores W. Carter (Al-fred J., Jr.), one son; Theron Warren, Jr. (Elizabeth), 5 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends. Visitation was Fri-day, December 21 at Lewis Funeral Home from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m

A Celebration for the life of Ethel Lee Derry Clay-borne was held on Satur-day, December 22, 2012 at 12 Noon at the Mount Ol-ive Baptist Church, Arm-strong Colony, Armstrong-Derry Road, Waelder, Texas. Rev. H.G. Washing-ton, Officiant, Mt. Olive Baptist Church; Rev. Dr. James A. Nunn, Eulogist, Mt. Eden Baptist Church; Rev. Dr. Robert Jemerson, Graveside Service, Second Baptist Church.

COLLEGE STATION — USDA Texas Farm Service Agency (FSA) Acting Execu-tive Director James B. Doug-lass announced that 56 coun-ties in Texas were declared a disaster on Jan. 16, due to drought and heat using the new, streamlined Secretarial Disaster Designation pro-cess. Under this designation, producers with operations in any of the 11 primary disaster counties or 45 contiguous di-saster counties are eligible to apply for low interest emer-gency loans.

In Texas, 207 counties were previously declared a disaster on Jan. 9, under a separate Secretarial Disaster Designa-tion.

The streamlined disaster designation process issues a drought disaster declaration when a county has experi-enced a drought intensity value of at least a D2 (severe drought) level for eight con-secutive weeks based on the U.S. Drought Monitor during the crop year. Under this dec-laration 11 counties in Texas have reached that threshold since November 1, 2012.

The following 11 counties were designated as primary disaster counties: Blanco , Glasscock, McCulloch, Ster-ling, Coke, Gonzales, Mason, Uvalde, Franklin, Llano, Me-dina.

Another 45 counties were designated as contiguous disaster counties, including Bexar, Caldwell, Lavaca and Guadalupe counties.

“The disaster designation is welcome relief to produc-ers because it allows all quali-fied operators in primary and contiguous counties to apply for a low interest emergency (EM) loan,” said Douglass.

MLK Day March: Keeping The Dream Alive in Gonzales

The annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day march and ceremonies attracted a crowd of around 200 in Gonzales Monday to celebrate the legacy of the civil-rights leader. Some of the marchers from Union Lea Baptist Church came in uniform (above). Others like Kameren Cavit (holding sign, at right) and Devonte Smith (with flag), with Shalaiyah Clack and Carolyn Hastings, expressed their devotion to the cause of equal rights individually. Among the highlights was a stirring solo about the Holocaust from Savannah Heximer (below).

GONZALES – Gonza-les almost restarted its old habit of playing well in the first half to earn a lead and then taking the foot off the gas in the second half, al-lowing the other team to

make some kind of come-back.

That started happen-ing in the third quarter Tuesday night against La Grange, but the Lady Apaches refocused and held on for the 43-37 win, bumping their record to 2-4 (5-22 overall) in Dis-

trict 26-3A with their sec-ond win in three games.

“At two points in the game we made some mental errors,” said Lady Apaches head coach Kent Smith. “One was at the end of the second quarter and the other was at the end of the third quarter.”

Late in the second frame, Gonzales was up 20-11 but the Lady Leopards (7-16, 2-4) made a 5-0 run to go into the locker room down 20-16.

And at roughly the same point in the third period, Gonzales was ahead 26-17 and La Grange outscored them 10-6 to be down 32-27 to go into the fourth quarter.

Early in the fourth quar-ter, La Grange went up 33-32 but was outscored by Gonzales 11-4 from that point forward.

“We were able to focus on what we needed to do to win,” Smith said.

Late in the game, junior Kelsey Hardy had to leave the court for a second after going down with a minor injury. Smith said the team did well in stepping up to compensate for her brief absence.

La Grange opened the game with a 2-1 lead after a basket with a Brianna

MOULTON — The Bob-katz were able to play every single player on the roster, with the exception of Alex Reyes who suffered a sea-son-ending injury earlier in the week, in a 75-18 Home-coming win over Nordheim Friday night.

The game plan allowed head coach Kevin Fishbeck to extensively test some of his younger players. Ac-cording to Fishbeck, they passed the test.

“I was happy with our younger players,” he said. “Tonight was a test for them and we wanted to see if they would be able to run sets and plays in games like they do in practice. They had real good ball movement.”

Fishbeck said Moulton did have some lapses on both defense and offense.

Scoring opened 25 sec-onds into the game with a three-point basket by Bron-son Zapata after the pass from Dallas Rothbauer. Tyler Swartz grabbed a re-bound and scored; Matt Dornak made a layup; Zapa-

tournament against 3A, 4A and 5A schools,” said Gonzales head coach Sar-ah Moreno. “All the play-ers played very well and Lucero Luna and Gabby Castillo did wonderful for their first ever tennis tour-nament.”

“There is great potential throughout the program and I see great things for this season.”

La Grange keeps Gonzales winless in district play

GONZALES – Early in the third quarter, the Gon-zales Apaches held a 30-22 lead over La Grange and looked to be headed for their first district victory of the season.

Then the Leopards went on a 21-2 run to end the frame and go ahead 43-32 before outscoring Gon-zales, 18-15, in the fourth quarter to complete a mas-sive comeback win, 61-47, Tuesday night at GHS Spe-cial Events Center.

“They made some shots,” Gonzales head coach Ray-mond Lopez said. “I felt we played good defense in the first half.”

He said the issue was Gonzales (4-20, 0-4 needed to slow down its offensive tempo and not rush shots.

“We made mistakes at the end of each quarter when we did not slow down our offense and we let La Grange get the ball back fast and make shots,” Lopez said. “The kids gave effort

and played hard.”Gonzales had a pretty

warm start as they raced to a 9-0 lead in the first frame. Jared Smit made the open-ing basket, a three-point shot; Darrance James got a steal and a layup; Joe Ryan Carrizales scored off the pass from Tyshawn Erskin and James scored again.

La Grange (18-6, 4-0) closed down to 9-4 as Mal-colm McKenzie sank a pair of free throws and scored after a steal. Gonzales then converted a three-point shot from Derek Hunt and Chris Garcia for a 15-4 lead.

La Grange ended the quarter with five straight on a basket from Chris Rabora and some free throws.

The Apaches started the second period with a 7-0 run on baskets from Cam-eron Smith, James and Smit. The Leopards got back six points and Hunt drained a three to put the Apaches ahead 25-17.

Hunt made some free throws to increase that

The Lady Apaches took a 7-4 lead on free throws by Renee Camarillo and a three-point play by Hardy. La Grange managed a 4-3 run to end the frame but was still down 10-8.

Gonzales went on a 10-3 for a good part of the sec-ond quarter, starting with a Jade McCook got a rebound and score; Cassidy La Fleur made a free throw; a free throw by McCook and two buckets from Hardy.

La Grange cut the deficit to 20-14 on free throws and Lakia Scott made a late bas-ket to cut Gonzales’ lead to 20-16 at halftime.

To start the third, Hardy

got a steal and turned in two more points for Gon-zales, followed by two field goals from White, for a 26-17 lead.

The Lady Leopards then made four straight baskets, two by Sodalak and two by Hannah Zuhn.

The Lady Apaches got three buckets by Ashley Malatek to hold a 32-27 ad-vantage to enter the fourth quarter.

MOULTON — When junior Kendall Kristynik went down with a season-ending knee injury at the end of December, Moult-on head coach John Mei-setschleager stressed the team the importance of all the players stepping up to fill the void.

“It has taken a while to get adjusted,” he said.

The Bobkittens defeated Nordheim, 63-19, Friday night during Homecoming.

“We did alright against Nordheim,” Meitsetschlea-ger said. “Our defense was solid, we blocked out better in this game and our of-fense was very relaxed.”

Moulton finishes the first half of district play with a 4-0 mark.

“Our tough non-district schedule has prepared us well for district,” he said.

Moulton opened the first quarter with a 8-0 lead as Megan Mitchon, Ashley Gabler and Megan Euceda all scored baskets. Stormi Farmer deposited the first points for the Lady Pirates, and for Moulton, they ex-ploded with 12 more points: a bucket by Amanda Berck-enhoff and Michelle Holub, Malori and Megan Mitchon each nailed a triple and Taylor Bohuslav assisted on a Gabler basket.

Nordheim ended the box on a 5-0 run as Chel-sea Pargmann scored and

Alyssa Leister took posses-sion of the ball with just a couple of seconds left and hit a three at the buzzer.

The Bobkittens kicked off the second quarter with a 7-4 run with four points from Malori Mitchon. Bethany Brauer sank a three and Euceda got a board and basket.

Nordheim got a free throw from Jade Williams and a field goal from Leis-ter to end the quarter with three of the last five points. Moulton got a bucket from Graisyn Nieto.

The Lady Pirates started the third quarter with the first three points, cutting the deficit to 34-17. Moult-on came back with six points of its own and then polished off the quarter with 14 unanswered points.

Moulton scored nine of 11 points in the fourth quarter, led by four points from Brauer.

CANNON KID’S CORNER

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you have been living

life in the fast lane, but this week you may need to apply the brakes. If you’re not careful, you could miss out on some ex-citing stuff.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, someone you know

may feel like he or she deserves something that you have. Do not validate any jealousy and take the higher road by not en-gaging the situation.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, provide a steady

and strong hand to keep some-one you love on the right track.

It may not be easy to be so sup-portive, but do what’s neces-sary to help a loved one.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, although you are

very persuasive this week, you should focus all of your atten-tion on selling yourself to oth-ers in the workplace. This can make promotion imminent.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you might sense that

something isn’t quite right this week with a couple of people you know. Don’t be shy about asking questions to get to the bottom of the situation.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, it can be difficult to

believe the truth sometimes, especially when the news is not what you want to hear. Don’t let disagreements cloud com-mon sense.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, mixing business and pleasure is not the right ap-proach this week. Avoid start-ing new romantic relationships with someone in the office and focus on work.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, remember that risk

may ultimately bring reward when considering an invest-ment opportunity. With this in mind, you may want go out on a limb this week.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, you are on a roll and you probably have no plans to slow down for anyone. Try to slow down and help oth-ers if you find yourself with some free time.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, honesty is the best policy but you do not al-ways have to be so forthcoming with your opinions. Employ tact if you are asked for your opinions on certain issues.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Even a minor disagreement

could have you licking your wounds, Aquarius. Don’t use this week for sulking. Get back on the horse and dust yourself off.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, avoid potentially

sticky situations this week. It is better to defer to an expert even if it means making a fi-nancial investment.

It was Martin Luther King Jr. who made the following sage observation: “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.”

Are you a dromomaniac? If you travel compulsively, you are.

The famed statue Venus de Milo was lost to history for nearly 2,000 years. No one knew of its existence until 1820, when a Greek peasant tilling a field on the island of Milos hit stone -- several carved blocks of stone, to be specific. Within a few weeks, archaeologists

arrived and took the statue of Aphrodite to France. King Louis XVIII dubbed it the Venus de Milo and donated it to the Louvre, where it remains today.

You might be surprised to learn that Humphrey Bogart wasn’t the producers’ first choice for the role of Rick in “Casablanca.” An actor named George Raft was originally offered the part, but he turned it down because he didn’t like the script.

In 2010, a new species of slug was discovered in the mountains of Borneo. It is distinguished from other species of slug by its novel

method of mating: It shoots its mate with a so-called love dart made of calcium carbonate and containing hormones. The researchers nicknamed the gastropods “ninja slugs.”

If you’re traveling to Kansas anytime soon, be sure to remember that it is against the law in that state to catch fish with your bare hands.

During the original run of the classic 1960s TV series “Gilligan’s Island,” some viewers took the show rather too seriously. Several telegrams were sent to the U.S. Coast Guard asking why the poor people hadn’t yet been rescued.

want a man who is kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?” -- Zsa Zsa Gabor
