Inside This Week:
The spirit of Christmas comes in all shapes and sizes. In Gonzales, one of those comes in the form of 10-year-old Grace Morgan, who for the second year in a row raised more than $3,000 with bake sales through First United Methodist Church to purchase and distribute gifts to clients at Gonzales Christian Assistance Ministries. While shopping this year at Walmart, people would greet her and say she must have been a good girl because her cart overflowed with toys. She would explain her cause and caring hearts in our community would pull out their wallets and contribute right then and there, says Graces mom, Rebekah. (Courtesy photos)
Local familys land heritage cited

Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples recently recognized John and Erlene Zavadil of the Zavadil Ranch at the Family Land Heritage ceremony in Austin at the Capitol.
AUSTIN A Gonzales County ranch family was honored by the Texas Agriculture Commission during the annual Family Land Heritage ceremonies recrntly. John and Erlene Zavadil and their Zavadil Ranch in Gonzales County were honored by Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples for their acceptance into the Family Land Heritage Program for 100 years of agricultural operation. Zavadil Ranch has been in continuous agricultural produc-
tion since 1910 by the same family. Inocenc Zavadil was born in 1856 in Vitonic, Holeov, Moravia, Austria which is now the Czech Republic. Inocence immigrated to the United States of America, and arrived at the port of Galveston in 1897. Inocenc did not speak English when he landed in Galveston, however he knew Czech and German. He worked until he was able to go back to Moravia and bring his bride, Antonie Maltek, back to Texas with him. They had five sons: Emil, Antonn, Josef, Vilm, and Alois. Inocence purchased 195 acres
in 1910 that was part of the grant from the Republic of Texas to William Newman and is now a part of the William Newman Survey. Cotton, corn, cattle, chickens, hogs, sheep and hay were grown on the land. Alois (Louis) and his wife, Hilda Adel Gloor, acquired the land in 1943. They were the first to start raising poultry. In 1976 Lous and Hilda deeded their daughter, Lois Jean Zavadil Jackson, John L. Zavadil, and Dennis Ray Zavadil 395 acres. After Hilda died Lois Jean and John L. purchased the original 195 acres in 2004.

Christmas is such a special time. As a child, I remember how much I looked forward to the presents and the meals. Family time together was always a given when I grew up. Going out to get the tree from the Christmas tree farm that sprung up in some parking lot was always an event. The lot was there every year and Dad and I would go and pick out the perfect tree. I always picked one that wouldnt fit in the house so Dad would direct me to the right line of trees that we could use. It was fun. Decorating the tree was something Mom and I did. Dad would look on from his chair, usually with an evening cocktail, and direct us where we needed more or less trinkets and lights. I go back to the movie we have all seen a dozen times, A Christmas Story, where all Ralphy wants is a Red Rider BB gun for Christmas. My family was sort of like that, at least in my minds eye. It was a tradition and it was a good time. Later in life when it was my turn to get the tree with my son, I was lucky enough to be able to spend the holidays together with my own family. Parents were long gone so the tradition was passed to me to go out and pick the tree and watch as my son decorated. We were in Germany for most of his younger years so picking the tree meant going into the forest with the Forestmiester and selecting one that had already been designated for cutting that year. The Forestmiester would cut it and we would take it home. I remember getting trees from a forest so close to the border that the East German tower guards would watch and sometimes wave at us. During that time I was stationed in Helmstedt at a border checkpoint. It was still the Cold War so the Iron Curtain, only a few hundred yards away, was very much real and not yet history. One year we even went to Finland for Christmas. Santa was there with his elves and reindeer as well as people from all over the world. You really see other cultures when you do something like that. It is a glimpse into life you normally only see in National Geographic magazines. We spent that Christmas cross-country skiing, eating local foods, and singing carols in Finnish. Id pull my little boy in a sled behind me as we skied while he threw snow balls at my back. We stayed in a log lodge way north of the Arctic Circle. That was a Christmas to remember and I think the coldest Ive ever been. Even though I was in the Army, I had an assignment that let my family deploy with me for the most part so Christmas while my son was young was still a family event. I was lucky in that regard. With my son following my footsteps in the Army, although doing it better than I did as he is an officer where I was enlisted, he is also lucky enough to have his family with him to spend the holidays together. I hope he realizes how special these times are. Now, things are different and I guess Im glad this is the way it is now instead of those years. Ive spent Christmas away from the family for the most part recently. Working overseas brings a special value to those times together with the family.
Dispatches from Downrange
In 2011, I arrived at my Afghanistan assignment on Christmas Eve. I spent Christmas 2012 there also. Now in Iraq, the situation is much the same. This time will be somewhat harder for me and the rest of the handlers here since we have no mail service at all. No cards, no little gift packages that were so nice to get, no little reminders of home will be coming. Since the US military left this country, Iraq is basically nonfunctional. Nothing here works right. From power to politics, its screwed up. We have several handlers that are supposed to be home right now but no one can leave the country. The visa office is not working well and there is an extensive backlog. Handlers that were returning from vacation are now stuck all over the world. We have people in U.A.E, Jordan, Kuwait, South Africa, and of course still back in the US that should already be here. This is the way it has been for months. With the Iraqi government taking off 150 days a year for religious holidays and now with a political power shift in Baghdad, finding the correct official, one that is staying in his job or one that has been moved to it, is all but impossible right now. Even when you do find the right person, chances are they will be on holiday when you can get to them. It is a nightmare for the logistical folks trying to get people moved. I was able to call my wife the other day and told her that my leave was not happening. In fact, the way things are looking I may not be home at all during this contract. That means a long time away. As I said earlier, I was lucky. I spent the important Christmas holidays, when my son was young, together. Now, Katherine (my wife) and I spend the holidays when we can. We have agreed to celebrate the event and not the day. We will have our Christmas when I get home even if it is in August. We will put up the tree and everything. So, if you drive by my little house in the country and the Christmas lights are shining and the paper elves are in the window, dont think we are just too lazy to take them down. It just means we are having our Christmas the only way we can. In fact, it will be a big celebration. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, our birthdays and a couple of anniversaries will all be rolled into one. It should be a real good time. Wow, Im tired already just thinking about that one. Anyway, Merry Christmas from behind a T-wall in Iraq, heres a HO! HO! HO! for you at home. Im Jon Harris, and thank you for reading another Dispatch from Downrange-Iraq.

Winning the Cold War through the FM airwaves

Doug Boysen was born in Cheapside, the son of a farmer, and he is now 82. He enlisted in the Air Force and after completing 23 weeks of radio school at Scott Air Force Base was redeployed to Europe where he served in Germany from 19501954, with First Radio Relay. This was a little known but very strategic unit that served to triumph in the big war, and then helped preserve our freedoms in the Cold War following Hitlers defeat. Back in 1939 the military could foresee the need for a secure communications system as there just wasnt any in existenceand war clouds had already gathered in Europe and were spreading. AM radio was limited by its very short reach as it only travels in straight lineswhile FM radio, whose waves actually do follow the curvature of the earth, was still in its infancy. Additionally, radio crystals had not caught on with manufac-

turers so they were hard to get. But by 1943 the demand was so great 130 new plants were producing them. That was because the military desperately needed an FM communication system to pick up, amplify and resend information for teletype, command circuits and combat readiness. First Radio Relay airmen were some of the unsung heroes of the cold war with Russia. Doug was stationed near Ramsteine, Germany, with the 12th Air Force, at an elevated hub (mountain top, like most stations) where he stood radio watches and helped
maintain uninterrupted service as in the Berlin Air Lift, assisting armies on maneuvers, and maintained ground communications for all the armed services as well as NATO. At that time they were known as Company D 926 Signal Battalion and Squadron 48. The Russians were constantly challenging US air space and had to be kept in check. They would probe US boundaries, and then measure the US response time for their own future strategic planning operations. Ultimately the Reds stopped playing these war games, but it took many years to finally discourage them. There was a lot of brinksmanship taking place there and also at top US governmental levels as well. Doug was an airman 1/C in a 5 man nucleus crew that helped preserve Western Europe from intrusion and armed enemy takeover as Russias Joseph Stalin was always attempting to expand his evil empire.
Dougs group had to constantly change frequencies to avoid detection and compromise. Their contribution wasnt publicly acknowledged, because by nature they were strictly clandestine. Microwave towers and satellites replaced that 20 year old systembut then it was top secret and crucial. Doug and his four teammates still communicate regularly by phone and recently Bob Greening of Leslie, Illinois, described Doug as a true leader in his role of planning watch lists and establishing a rhythm and work ethic for the whole team. When Dougs hitch was over he returned to Texas. In Cuero he first drove a soft drink truck, but the grocery business was his thing. By 1956 he was married to Joyce and they raised four girls. Cuero Food Craft was home base for Doug temporarily, but in 1964 he and brother Edmund established Boysens Food... that operated more than 25 years before closing.
Doug Boysen
During his grocery career Doug became a self taught butcherwith spicy sausage and jerky that were tops in the county. Although once a top local domino player, that has slipped a bit in recent years, but he still enjoys keeping things around the house and out in the yard in top shape. He and Joyce are active Lutherans and of course they love to keep up with the progress of the grandkids. Doug is obviously pleased that he no longer has to be concerned with constant alertness and attention to duty but he and his old teammates still joke a little about those crazy Russians that might be lurking behind every tree.

Im dreaming of a bourbon-flavored pecan Christmas

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadnt before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesnt come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more? Dr. Seuss

Christmas is nigh. And Im already into the bourbon. But Im not high. Cause it is not the bottle Im spending time with, but bourbon-flavored pecans. Snack time. Seems as if my sister, Laverne Schendel, treated the Dr. Deb and this old curmudgeon to a treat package from Valley Pecans, based out of Chillicothe, Texas. The package consists of the aforementioned bourbon-based nuts, along with a bag of chocolate-covered pecans and a huge amount of pecan halves. Its a healthy nut, nutritionists note, and Im not one to argue under the influence of booze-infused pecans. Anyway, it is early in the a.m. on the Saturday before Christmas that is coming after the New Year again this year. Along with snacking on the nuts and consuming a couple gallons of coffee thats
Clue for Mr. Kerry: Mexico is not a friendly neighbor

Earlier this month, Secretary of State John Kerry intervened to delay the execution of a convicted Mexican national saying his rights may have been violated, in a case that could endanger Americans abroad, a US official said. Edgar Arias Tamayo, who was found guilty of the 1994 fatal shooting of a Houston police officer, and is set to be put death by the state of Texas next month. But Kerry has warned that he was not given his right to see Mexican consular officials as the United States is obligated to do under an international convention. Someone should explain to Kerry that our problem is not Mexican nationals on death row, but better border security and a Mexican government that is not a god neighbor. Kerry should be preaching to Mexico, not Texas, about international obligations because our neighbor to the south is not behaving in a neighborly manner on many fronts. In a 48 hour period, the following crimes were reported on the TexasMexico border.
definitely not weak in the bean I am semipaying attention to an Austin newscast. There on the TV thats hanging on the wall. The so-called newscast is more of a Christmas commercial than an information source. Gal with painted lips and clad in green and red keeps coming on with the weather. Naturally, its the season to be Santa-Tracking on the radar. I suspect the kiddies are watching cartoons or smoking pot and not concerned with the weather or the fat fellas whereabouts. Thats a few more days further along in their limited attention span at this date. But they possess more than hint of what is in store for them come Christmas morning or the eve before. It will not be much of a surprise, I suspect. Dr. Deb and I have never had the privi-
lege of taking down a Christmas tree. Because in 37 years of marriage weve never bothered to put one up. Its not that were inflicted with humbugging or the bahs. Some figure that Im just an ol curmudgeon that if I should come into possession of a flame-thrower Id go bonkers. Beserk. And do commando raids on all Christmas trees. Spouting hellfire and damnation as I burned the decorations to smithereens. Theyd figure right. Were just not into the spirit of hanging decorations and gift-giving. Since it is the two of us, we look at us, and should we see something that wed just die for if we didnt have wed buy it. On the spot. Whatever the season or whatever the month. Be it May or August or October. Am I anti-Christmas? Well. No. As I abide by the thought of Edna Ferber as she wrote in Song of Years: Christmas isnt a season. Its a feeling. And what the lady cowgirl Dale Evans expressed: Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind. Only an extroverted optimist would feel that there is peace on earth or goodwill toward men. There never has been. So let me offer up this little story. Author unknown. Youve likely have perused it before. Optimist vs. Pessimist Christmas Santa A family had twin boys whose only re-
semblance to each other was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom pessimist. Just to see what would happen, on the twins birthday their father loaded the pessimists room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimists room he loaded with horse manure. That night the father passed by the pessimists room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly. Why are you crying? the father asked. Because my friends will be jealous, Ill have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, Ill constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken. answered the pessimist twin. Passing the optimist twins room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. What are you so happy about? he asked. To which his optimist twin replied, Theres got to be a pony in here somewhere! And with that Id like to pray that you and your family and friends enjoy many a Merry Christmas down the road while I daydream of nighttime bourbonflavored kisses from many a yesterday, back when I was young.

2013
On Monday, Dec. 16, 61 pounds of cocaine were seized in Pharr from a car carrying Mexican family into Texas. In Laredo, also on Monday, a former Mexican police officer was charged with possession of marijuana. In Hildago, on Tuesday, Dec. 17, $350,000 in cash were seized as another Mexican national tried to smuggle bundles of money into Mexico. Also, on Tuesday, U.S. law enforcement seized $323,000 in heroin being smuggled into the U.S. by a Mexican man. In Laredo, on Tuesday, an 18 year old illegal alien who has been deported numerous times, led Laredo police on a car chase through the city before being caught. In El Paso, federal agents completed a two month operation that confiscated nearly $3.5 million in counterfeit merchandize which had come from China through Mexico into the U.S. Finally, there was the recent report of the former governor of the Mexican state of Coahuila that has been arrested in the U.S. for money laundering and smuggling. These incidents do not include the on going problems Texas and the U.S. have had lately with Mexico not honoring its formal treaties on water use regarding the Rio Grande. Even a Mexican fishing boat was recently chase from American waters along the south Texas coast. All of this and Kerry is worried about our relationship with Mexico over convicted cop killer? Heres a news flash...Mexico has not behaved like a good friend or neighbor for sometime. and Kerry, President Obama, and all the other liberals should worry about securing and protecting our borders. If Mexico was a good neighbor, they would respect our laws and help stop the crime. Instead, criminal activity and illegal entry flourish while the Mexican government looks the other way. The Texas Tribune has reported that immigration and border crime are the top concerns for Texans in 2013. As the 2014 elections near, all Texans should recognize which politicians are pandering for votes, and which want to honestly address the problems because Mexico is NOT behaving like a friend or a good neighbor.
ADHD: the manufactured epidemic of modern times

If at any time while reading this article your attention wanders, you may have ADHD. If you pause to check your email sometime during the next three paragraphs, you should consult a doctor. If you fail to read this article all the way to the end, you should get on Adderall, Ritalin or some other drug to treat your condition as soon as possible. This isnt quite the standard for diagnosing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, but its close. The New York Times ran a long expose on how the drug industry has stoked the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD that had a revelatory quote from Keith Conners, a doctor who has long advocated for the recognition of the disorder. Conners called the overdiagnosis of ADHD a national disaster of dangerous proportions, telling the Times that the rising number of cases is a concoction to justify the giving out of medication at unprecedented and unjustifiable levels. This isnt bomb-throwing from an outsider, but a critique from the namesake of the Conners ratings scale widely used to evaluate kids for ADHD. There is no doubt that ADHD is a legitimate neurological condition that makes kids (and those around them) miserable, that blights their potential and that can be alleviated by prescription stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin. There also is no doubt that diagnosis and treatment of the disorder has run wildly out of control. According to the forthcoming book The ADHD Explosion, 19 percent of high-schoolaged males have received a diagnosis. The numbers differ from state to state. In North Carolina, an astounding 30 percent of boys over age 9 are supposedly suffering from ADHD. Overall, 6 percent of children and adolescents in the United States are on drugs to treat ADHD. Its a wonder more kids arent diagnosed with it, given the overlap between the description of the disorder and failings to which we are all prone.

Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review and a syndicated columnist for King Features Syndicate.
The New York Times points out that the American Psychiatric Association criteria for ADHD include often has difficulty waiting his or her turn and makes careless mistakes, hardly rare childhood behaviors. The drug companies -- for whom ADHD is a $9 billion-a-year business -- target mothers with alluring ads suggesting their children will become little angels through the wonders of risk-free stimulants. Their kids will get better grades, spend more quality time with the family and remember to take out the trash. Who wouldnt want their child thus magically transformed? According to the Times report, the Food and Drug Administration has constantly rebuked the companies for going beyond the evidence in selling visions of childhood Valhalla secured through the right drug. Undertrained primary-care physicians and worried parents default much too often to the diagnosis of ADHD and to the answer of a prescription. The next frontier is adult ADHD, with the promise of a vast new pharmaceutical market made up of people deprived of ADHD diagnoses when they were children. Some of these diagnoses will be warranted and life-changing, but others will be overreach prompted by vague and dubious symptoms, like inattentive op-ed reading. Sure, you got to the end of this article. But how about the next one? Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. (c) 2013 by King Features Synd., Inc.

Pioneer Village names Tenberg new manager

Pioneer Village has named Sarah Tenberg as its new manager, the groups Board of Directors has announced. After a successful four night run of Stars in the Village, the Board of Directors of the Village met on Dec. 17 to review the results. The icy cold weather did not encourage folks to come out but a warm sparkling bonfire with popcorn popping, the smell of hot wassail in the air and Shirley Shows homemade cookies to munch on, kept those who were there happy. The blacksmith shop was active showing curious children just what went on there back in the day. Local musicians entertained in the Hamon Church and Christ-
mas songs floated on the north wind. Tenberg was named as the manager for the Village. The Board looks forward to her leadership in promoting Pioneer Village and meeting the goals of the organization. The new year brings a challenge to everyone interested in preserving history to support Pioneer Village in its efforts to educate the school children of Texas about pioneer life and to preserve these historically significant buildings for posterity. The annual meeting of the organization will be held on Jan. 21 at 6 PM in the Oak Forest School building in Pioneer Village. Refreshments will be served. Anyone who would like to become a member of Pioneer Village is invited to come.

standing leadership qualities and have used innovation or technology to make a positive change in our community.

ing the quality of life in the communities GVTC serves.

Multiplying Christmas cheer
Recently, members of Gonzales High School Mu Alpha Theta Chapter (Math Honor Society) created and delivered handmade Christmas cards to each resident of the Heights and Texan Nursing Homes. This is the fourth year the chapter has undertaken this community service project, and the students always have a very positive experience. This year, the group expanded the project by collecting gifts of blankets and warm socks to be distributed to the nursing home residents. Society members plan to continue this endeavor next year since it was so successful. The members of Mu Alpha Theta and their faculty sponsor, Mrs. Karen Fougerat, want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Lucas reverses production declines with Austin Chalk workovers

Compiled by R.T. DUKES
eaglefordshalenews.com
Lucas Energy has reversed production declines with four workovers in the Austin Chalk. After nine months of restructuring, the company is moving forward with development of its Austin Chalk and Eagle Ford assets. Lucas has over 12,000 net acres prospective for the Austin Chalk and ~4,000 net acres prospective for the Eagle Ford. The company estimates development potential of 25+ Austin Chalk drilling locations and 75+ Eagle Ford locations (15% WI with Marathon operating). So far, this workover program has not only
stabilized, but reversed the recent declines in production, adding 40 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) of gross production in November alone, added Ken Daraie, Board Chairman. Lucas Energy launched a workover program in September and completed its fourth Austin Chalk workover on November 30th. The company also completed a horizontal re-entry in the Austin Chalk (RVS #1 Sidetrack) in Gonzales County that produced 113 boe/d while flowing back completion fluids. A second re-entry well is awaiting arrival of the drilling rig. Also, our development program in the Austin Chalk is progressing as planned with our continuing well cleanout program and the addition of horizontal Austin Chalk re-
entries. This has allowed Lucas to access productive layers within the Austin Chalk formation, believed to be separated by impermeable layers of ash, at significantly lower costs by utilizing and reentering existing horizontal wells. +++++ ConocoPhillips will spend $16.7 billion in 2014 (6% more than 2013) and 55% of the total ($9.18 billion) is allocated in North America. Within North America, Conoco expects continued growth from the Eagle Ford, Bakken, and Permian plays. Approximately $4.3 billion will be spent on development drilling in the Lower 48 states.
The budget includes increased investment in the drilling programs in the Eagle Ford, Bakken and Permian. 2014 is an important year for ConocoPhillips, said Ryan Lance, CEO. Since becoming an independent E&P company, we have set out to deliver a unique value proposition of 3 to 5 percent volume and margin growth with a compelling dividend. Conoco has a five year plan to invest $8 billion in the Eagle Ford and grow production to almost 150,000 boe/d by 2017. The company has 227,000 net acres prospective for the play and an estimated resource potential of 1.8 billion boe.

To make those resolutions work, dont give in too early

A new year often begins with good intentions, as thousands resolve to make positive changes in their lives. Resolutions are easy to make when one is toasting at midnight and ready to take on the world. But resolutions can be harder to keep as the days turn into weeks and weeks become months. Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that 80 percent of resolution-makers have given up by Valentines Day. A January 2012 poll conducted in England found that, of the 3,000 respondents, roughly three-quarters of them admitted they were no longer confident they would stick to their resolutionss for the rest of the month. There are several different reasons why resolutions fail, and recognizing potential pitfalls can help people stick with their positive changes throughout the new year. The following are a few ways to ensure your resolutions last the year. Year after year the public counts down the seconds until the new year arrives. At the stroke of midnight, people embrace, glasses are hoisted and resolutions are made. Many people make the same resolutions year after year, largely because resolutions are not always easy to keep. The following are the most common New Years resolutions. 1. Lose weight 2. Manage stress 3. Quit smoking 4. Get out of debt 5. Find a better job 6. Save money 7. Volunteer to help others 8. Spend more time with family 9. Get organized 10.

making a resolution, research how much a resolution might cost. Gym memberships or new hobbies may stretch your budget, and if you cannot afford a resolution, how can you keep it? If money is a concern, choose resolutions that are fiscally possible. * Keep resolutions private if you so prefer. Many people are compelled to share their resolutions with friends and family. However, that can lead to feelings of competition or animosity if someone is realizing goals before you. Feel free to keep your resolution private as you go through the process. Once you have met your goal, then you can share your success with others. * Dont give up too easily. Some people are up for a challenge and others are not. Resolutions typically require a little extra effort, especially in the early stages. Resolutions will not necessarily be easy to keep, but the longer you stick to a resolution the easier it becomes to make it a reality, so resist the temptation to throw in the towel too early.

Late momentum shift sends Stamford past Shiner

By MARK LUBE
sportseditor@gonzalescannon.com
The one that got away

6-yard gain. Two plays later, Stafford had a 10-yard run to midfield but two plays later, Washington nabbed an interception at the Dog 23 and took it the distance for a 41-28 lead. Shiner had its last drive at its 32 and Stafford had completions of 13 and 16 yards to Michalec. Gus West picked off Stafford on the next play at the Dog 21 to put the game away. Shiner led 21-7 at halftime and 28-7 early in the third quarter but started to get halted by Stamford Stamford switched their defense to a solid front and we knew that they did, Cerny said. Another thing was the atmosphere. Both teams have played in a lot of cold-weather games. We have not been inside and you could see our kids wear down. Our players would come to the sidelines gassed, even with the TV timeouts and breaks. The environment probably got to us more than anything. Washington had touchdown catches of 63 and 60 yards, and also had the 77yard pick six. Cerny said Washingtons plays were a result of his speed and not breakdowns in the Shiner secondary. We really had not faced anyone that fast all year, he said. Once he gets by you, there is no way you are going to catch him. We do not have anyone who could keep up and give quarterback (Wimberly) credit for making the plays. Stafford said the fact that Stamford was playing in its third straight title game gave them the edge as they knew how to adjust to playing indoors. You have to get tough and get mean, and we just fell a little short, he said. The Comanches opened the game with a 12-play, 39-yard drive that ended as Coleman was dropped for a loss on fourth down at the Dog 37.

ARLINGTON For over three and half quarters, the Shiner Comanches owned the momentum in the game. Then Stamford swooped in and stole it as they rallied from a 28-21 deficit in the last four minutes of the game to win 41-28 Thursday morning in the UIL Class 1A Division I state championship game at AT&T Stadium. Its tough when you come up short in the last one, Shiner head coach Steven Cerny said. We seemed to have the momentum going our way, with the squib kick (start of the third quarter) that we recovered and scored. You have to give Stamford credit. That fourth quarter they hung in there, kept making big plays and found ways to stop us. The Bulldogs (14-1) knotted the game at 28 with 3:42 left as receiver James Washington caught a 60yard touchdown pass from quarterback Bo Wimberly after Stamford stopped Shiner from converting a fourth-down-and-1 play from the Dog 41. On Shiners next possession, running back Marcus Coleman had the ball knocked out by Craig Oliver and recovered by Gus West at the Comanche 43. Wimberly had a pass for 7 yards to Legion West and another for 13 to Washington to move the Dogs to the Shiner 23. Wimberly had a 7-yard gain to the 16 and threw a 4-yard to Legion West for another first down. On the next play, Wimberly ran for a 12-yard score and the extra point was no good, leaving Stamford ahead 34-28 with 1:55 left. Shiner next started at its 29 and had to go to the air. Jacob Stafford completed a 5-yard pass to Blake Michalec who lateraled to Tyler Patek for addition
It took Stamford just one play to score on the hookup from Wimberly to Washington. Shiner answered with a five-play, 69-yard march as Stafford gained 6 yards on first down, Chad Neubauer and Coleman took turns carrying the football until reaching the 47, where Coleman took a handoff and found a seam on the left, rocketing for a touchdown. Stamford moved the ball, mostly through the air, on its next drive, going from its 31 to the Shiner 41. However, three straight incompletions resulted in a turnover on downs. The Comanches drove 65 yards in 11 plays, gaining moderate chunks of turf with the running game. The drive was finished on Caleb Murrile (28) snags a surprise 9-yard touchdown pass from Jacob Stafford a 9-yard pass from Staf- in second quarter action in Thursdays state championship contest.

An experience for the community
While Thursdays state championship game wound up with Shiner experiencing a disappointing setback on the scoreboard, the game at AT&T Stadium home of the NFLs Dallas Cowboys provided a memorable experience for the entire Comanche community, from the players and coaching staff to the band, cheerleaders and the multitude of Shiner fans.

Later, Wimberly was intercepted in the end zone by Patek. Shiner made good use of the turnover, driving 80 yards in nine plays with Stafford running for 32 yards, from Stamford 47 to the 15. He capped the drive with a 1-yard run to put the Purple ahead 21-7. Shiner got a big break at the start of the third quarter as a squib kick bounced off a Stamford player and recovered by Shiner at midfield. Cerny said the kick was not designed as an onside kick but the Comanches happened to catch a break. Shiner drove the 50 yards, getting a 22-yard run on reverse by Dadrian Taylor for a 28-7 lead.

Taylor rally downs Gonzales

The Taylor Lady Ducks trailed by four points in the early in the fourth quarter and turned things around to beat the Gonzales Lady Apaches, 44-41, Friday night at GHS Special Events Center. Taylor got the job done with some intense defensive pressure. Their press got to us, Gonzales head coach Valerie Akpan said. They got a couple of skilled shots in the backfield which they were able to convert. The Lady Apaches had the early advantage in the first quarter before Taylor rallied to take a narrow halftime lead of 23-21. Gonzales came back in the third frame to lead 3531 when they went right at the Lady Ducks. At the beginning of the second half, we attacked the defense, and moved Tajerrica Smith drives for a first-half layup in the and pushed the ball up the Gonzales girls 44-41 loss to Taylor on Friday. (Photo floor, Akpan said. Early in the fourth frame, by Mark Lube)
Amanda Dixson scored on a jumper after the pass from Erika Hernandez to put the Lady Apaches ahead 37-33. Taylor scored five straight on a layup by Ayanna Parker and a triple by Elizabeth Alderete. The Lady Apaches forced a tie with a free throw by Kelsey Hardy but the Lady Ducks went into the lead for good when Parker made one-of-two free throws. Alderete raised Taylors lead to 42-38 and then a free throw by Gonzales Jordan Pitman brought the Lady Apaches within 4239, Pitman later had a chance to bring Gonzales within one point but missed some free throws. With nine seconds left, Hardy was fouled on a three-point shot and she went to the line. She converted two of three to bring Gonzales within 42-41 We missed some clutch free throws at the end, Akpan said. At the other end, Shaw-
teen Caldwell made two free throws to put the game away. At the start of the game, Gonzales erased a deficit at the start to go up 5-4 and later 7-6 on baskets from Tajerrica Smith and Hardy. Taylor was able to come within 10-8 and the Lady Apaches reinforced the buffer zone with buckets from Smith and Renae Camarillo. At the start of the second frame and leading 14-10, Gonzales went on a 6-1 run with four points on two field goals by Sheridan Tate. The Lady Ducks ended the quarter with a 12-1 scoring run.
Gonzales started the third quarter well 12-3 run with three-point baskets by Tate and Hardy. Pitman capped the run with an offensive board and jumper. Taylor outscored Gonzales 5-2 the rest of the third to trail just by four points heading into the last period.

ideal weather during First Day Hike events held in 57 Texas State Parks. It was the second year for state parks throughout Texas to host a New Years Day walk, hike or run as part of the national program begun by the National Association of State Parks Directors. Last year, 720 first-day hikes in state parks throughout the nation drew 22,000 park visitors who hiked 43,000 miles. First Day Hikes has become an established signature park event that helps Texas families create traditions they can follow year after year to get them outdoors in our state parks to share camaraderie and a renewed sense of adventure, says Karen Blizzard, Texas State Parks First Day Hikes coordinator. We are expecting even more Texas State Parks, many of which offer guided and interpretive walks, to join in the fun this year. Hiking in Texas state parks offer many health benefits that help combat childhood diabetes and adolescent obesity, provide a source of Vitamin D from sunshine and help burn off unwanted pounds.

AUSTIN Vow to battle the post-holiday letdown and shed those unwanted pounds by pounding a Texas State Park trail, beginning Jan. 1, at more than 60 organized First Day Hikes that will kick off the New Year as part of a growing nationwide tradition. Remember, too, that most Texas state parks host hiking events of various lengths and degrees of difficulty throughout the year. Last year, 1,100 dedicated souls gave their soles a workout in less than
minute during a brisk onehour walk, or about 555 calories, and a 190-pound man roughly 646 calories during a brisk, one-hour hike? Mother Neff State Park near Moody recorded 115 first-day hikers to lead the Texas State Park system turnout this past Jan. 1. Mother Neff will offer a guided hike over four miles of trails, starting at 2 p.m., while West Texas hikers up for more of a challenge can test their endurance in the Peak Fitness Challenge by climbing 1,000 feet in elevation on a 3.5 mile roundtrip trek to Mundays Gap in the Franklin Mountains. Like most First Day events, there is no charge, but park entry fees apply.

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND INTENT TO OBTAIN A BENEFICIAL LAND USE PERMIT RENEWAL PERMIT NO. WQ0004467000
APPLICATION. City of Gonzales, 820 St. Joseph Street, Gonzales, Texas 78629, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to renew beneficial land use Permit No. WQ0004467000 to authorize the land application of wastewater treatment plant sludge for beneficial use on approximately 158.8 acres. The beneficial land use site is located on the north side of County Road 488, approximately 0.2 miles north of intersection County Road 488 and Farm-to-Market Road 532, and approximately 2.5 miles northeast of the City of Gonzales, in Gonzales County, Texas 78629. TCEQ received this application on September 6, 2013. The anticipated date of the first application of sludge, subject to issuance of the permit is September 4, 2014. The permit application is available for viewing and copying at the Gonzales City Hall, City Secretary, 820 St. Joseph Street, Gonzales, Texas. This link to an electronic map of the site or facilitys general location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice. For exact location, refer to application. http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/hb610/index.html?lat=29.522777&lng=97.412222&zoom=13&type=r ADDITIONAL NOTICE. TCEQs Executive Director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application. After technical review of the application is complete, the Executive Director may prepare a draft permit and will issue a preliminary decision on the application. Notice of the Application and Preliminary Decision will be published and mailed to those who are on the county-wide mailing list and to those who are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the deadline for submitting public comments. PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments, and the Executive Directors decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting reconsideration of the Executive Directors decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A person who may be affected by the application may request a hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicants name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; and, the statement [I/we] request a contested case hearing. If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the groups representative for receiving future correspondence; identify an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected members location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are germane to the groups purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission will only grant a contested case hearing on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commissions decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that were raised in timely filed comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met. MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Directors decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. AGENCY CONTACTS AND INFORMATION. All written public comments and requests must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 or electronically at www.tceq.state.tx.us/ about/comments.html.

It was noted wit Ambrose Bierce who defined an egotist as a person more interested in himself than in me. If you could go back in time and sample a beer from the 1700s, you would find it to be significantly stronger than similar libations that are served today. The higher alcohol content helped the brew survive the long voyage from England to colonial India. Those who study such things say that roughly half of American women remove hair from their bikini area. Perhaps unsurprisingly, as
women age, they become less likely to keep up the shaving or waxing, with only 19 percent of women aged 50-plus doing so. In Brazil, though, the practice is far more widespread; there, 65 percent of women in the 50-plus age group reported bikini hair removal. The average horse will produce 10 gallons of saliva every day. Historians claim that President John Quincy Adams kept a pet alligator in a White House bathroom. He reportedly was amused when unsuspecting guests had to make a trip to the loo.
I wouldnt be surprised if youve never heard the word pilgarlic -- its not a term you hear every day. Its literal meaning is peeled garlic, but colloquially it was once used to describe a baldheaded person. In the U.S. in 1900, imported perfume was taxed at a higher rate than imported opium. If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, you might want to go to the Sea Life Park on Oahu. There you can see a rare creature: the wolphin. This cross between a killer whale and a bottle-nosed dolphin also reportedly exists in the wild, but I imagine theyre a bit more difficult to find. *** Thought for the Day: In any contest between power and patience, bet on patience. -- W.B.
