The Alcalde Hotel circa 1927. Courtesy of Gonzales County Historical Commission.
Another chapter begins
for Gonzales landmark
Stay at Te Alcalde and you could be
sleeping in the same room as Elvis once
slept. Or even Bonnie and Clyde.
Tere has been a hotel at the 614 St. Paul
St. location for almost a century, and the
name hasnt changed: Its always been Te
Alcalde. Te hotel has seen many changes
over the years, many operators, and more
than a few famous guests.
Te Alcaldes newest owners are ramp-
ing up for a July 1 opening as a restored
and historic hotel. Te owners, Rick and
Kara Green, are preserving as much as
possible of the old hotel, such as an old
phone booth in the lobby and the fancy
tin ceiling tiles. Teyre are adding a high-
end grill, and outdoor dining patio, and
theyve put a new sidewalk out front.
Ninety Years a Hotel
Aref Droupy was a tailor in Beirut
when he and his wife, Helena, emigrated
to Gonzales in 1909. In 1925, Aref and
Helena bought the property where Te
Alcalde now sits for a mere $4,150. For
another $40,000, they built and furnished
the 3-story, 40-room hotel. But, according
to their granddaughter Deidra Droupy
Voigt, the project went over budget and
cost another ten-thousand dollars.
As one of the few businesses in town
able to proclaim hot and cold running
water, the Droupys had a tough time
keeping the sinks and toilets in place. Be-
fore the doors and windows were installed
securing the premises against weather and
thieves, the new sinks and toilets would
be stolen at night.
Tat is, until the Droupy children were
given sentry duty. Te Droupys had sev-
en children: Joe, Emma, Friedman, Fred,
Roger, Rosalle, and America. It surely
wasnt their intention to start a small
workforce, but with seven children, thats
what they had. Until construction pro-
gressed to a point where they could secure
the building, the Droupy children were
given a two-hour shif and a hand gun to
deter any would-be plumbing thieves.
Many Hands
When it initially opened for business
in the spring of 1926, Mr. and Mrs. J.S.
Hood were the frst to lease and run the
hotel, and did so for about a year. Te
Tayers leased and ran it for a year afer
the Hoods. Mr. Wruck ran the business
until the 1930s, the longest of anyone to
date. Specifc information about who ran

A flm shot in Gonzales
which won wide critical ac-
claim and an award at last
years South by Southwest
Film Festival will be fea-
tured in a special weekend
showing at Te Lynn Te-
atre.
Writer-director Chris
Eska, grew up in Gonzales,
and went to Gonzales High
School. Chris parents still
live here.
Te Retrieval, flmed in
Gonzales in 2011 and re-
leased in theaters in April
of this year, is the second
movie Chris flmed here.
Id graduated from
UCLA, and wanted to come
back to Texas, Eska said of
his decision to flm the peri-
od drama here. I felt there
would be more support to
produce a flm in Texas than
in L.A.
Te movie is showing for
three days only at the Lynn
Teater, June 6, 7, and 8 at
4 p.m. Chris Eska will be
there Saturday and Sunday
for a Q&A with the audi-
ence.
Local folks were cast in
the flm as gang of bounty
hunters: Allen Floyd, Stuart
Horner, Sam Pullin, Eugene
Smith, and Jimmy Turk. Ex-
tensive flming took place at
the Turk Ranch.
Lead actor Tishuan Scott
earned a special jury award
from the SXSW judges. Te
flm stars Ashton Sand-
ers, Scott, Keston John, Bill
Oberst, Jr., Christine Horn,
Alfonso Freeman, Jonathan
Brooks, and Raven LeDeatte.
Te flm centers on the re-
lationship between Will, afa-
therless 13-year-old boy, who
survives by working with a
white bounty hunter gang
who sends himto earn the
trust of runaway slaves and
wanted freedmen in order to
lurethemback to theSouth.
Set against the back-
drop of theCivil War, Will
fnds himself on a danger-
ous mission into the free
North to fnd Nate, a fugi-
tive freedman, things go
wrong, and Will and Nate
fnd themselves alone and
on the run. As the bond
between them unexpect-
edly grows, Will becomes
consumed by conficting
emotions as hefaces agut-
wrenching fnal decision: to
betray the father fgure hes
fnally found, or risk being
killed by his gang.
Thrilling, but grounded
in historical research, The
Retrieval serves as an in-
sight into thelittle-told sto-
ry of thegrey areabetween
slavery and emancipation,
and the horrifc moral di-
lemmathat comes with be-
ing forced to betray your
fellow man.
Te frst flm Chris shot
in Gonzales, August Eve-
ning, is about an immigrant
family and the changes that
take place through the gen-
erations.
Te people were so help-
ful so I decided to flm the
second movie here, too. Im
very appreciative of all the
help that was given, and so
glad to come home and play
the flm here, said Chris.

On Wednesday, May 29, President
Barak Obama spoke to graduating ca-
dets at West Point, and again as many
times before, we have seen how much
of an empty suit he is. Regardless of
the liberals best efforts to masquer-
ade Obama as a leader on impor-
tant issues, the truth comes shining
through.
Noted conservative commenta-
tor Charles Krauthammer said that
President Obamas attempt to lay out
his foreign policy vision during his
commencement address at West Point
was literally pointless. It didnt have a
point, it was a defensive speech.
Only one day before his West Point
appearance, Obama declared that all
U.S. troops will be out of Afghanistan
by 2016. He told the West Point grads
that the landscape has changed
since the end of the war in Iraq. He
said that their class would be the first
class in nearly a decade that likely will
not be deployed to a war zone. Is that
something we want out global enemies
to know?
Obama said, (While) I was worried
about critics who think military inter-
vention is the only way for America to
avoid looking weak, just because we
have the best hammer does not mean
that every problem is a nail. Cute
metaphor, but do we want to say we
wont be strong militarily?
However, while Obama spoke of a
retreating military policy, he did men-
tion the importance of global climate
change! I guess the military wont
fight Americas enemies, but they will
fight pollution.
Never wasting a chance to slap at
the former president, George W. Bush,
who invaded Afghanistan and Iraq,
Obama had the nerve to called previ-
ous foreign policies as weak, leader-
less, and rudderless. Oh really?
Rather than inspiring the future of-
ficers of Americas military, Obama
used the forum to set out his isola-
tionist policy and attack his critics. He
failed to mention (or apologize for)
the VA scandal which some of these
same young officers may find them-
selves facing one day. He failed to ex-
plain the militarys pay and benefits
cuts that will be affecting them soon.
He failed to mention the on-going so-
cial engineering that is taking a toll
on military morale.
After 6 years of leadership by our
Community Organizer-in-Chief who
obviously does not want America to be
strong or lead, his comments at West
Point were not surprising. America
is weaker and less respected by the
world than ever before. Not only have
his domestic policies divided America
by race, gender, religion, economic
class, and age, but his foreign policy
and arrogant attitude toward the mili-
tary have weakened us and made us
vulnerable.
I would say shame on the Presi-
dent for his speech at West Point,
but how can you shame anyone who
truly believes that America must be
punished for its greatness? When our
National Leader believes we must be
fundamentally changed, that meant
he plans to change Americas global
standing domestically and abroad. We
now know his foreign policy and his
view of the American military truly
are dangerous and shameful.
It is important that students bring a certain
ragamufn irreverence to their studies, they
are not here to worship what is known, but
to question it.
Jacob Bronowski
Its just about a given that May is considered
a merry month.
One aspect alluding to such a thought of
gaiety is that thats when a passel of nearly-
normal humans go through the ritual of be-
ing capped and gowned. While receiving that
coveted ceremonial sheepskin.
A degree. Signifying that the recipient is
now as bright as a head of cabbage in a pump-
kin feld. And capable of going forth into the
mainstream. Hitting on all cylinders. With the
pedal to the carpeted fberglass foorboard.
Why are these grads so optimistic? Why be-
cause of what has been preached in the class-
rooms in their past and from the commence-
ment speakers address.
Now in my book, an optimist is merely a
person that hasnt yet read the morning paper
or watched the early news.
Many a commencement speaker has con-
vinced the noggins underneath the mortar-
boards sporting wide eyes of wonderment the
following, in part:
Te world is yours to conquer ... youre
a group of incredibly, educated ... success is
yours for the taking ... your dreams will be re-
alized ... follow your passion ... etc.
As Robert Orben noted a graduation cere-
mony is where the speaker tells thousands of
students dressed in identical caps and gowns
that individuality is the key to success.
My school of thought, factored in afer re-
ceiving my frst degree (from high school) 52
years ago is that of a pessimist. And according
to Don Marquis a pessimist is a person who
has had to listen to too many optimists.
Anyway, back to the graduation ceremonies
held in the merry month of May. Nowadays
there are trainloads of events. Beginning with
Pre-Natal, Day Care and on to Pre-K and
middle school and high school and college
and graduate schools with doctors and law-
yers and scientist and such. All holding cere-
monies of meriting a pomp and circumstance
march in G minor.
At the conclusion there are tears of joy. Ma-
mas and papas and grannies and paw-paws
and unks and aunts. In attendance. All misty-
eyed. Mortarboards sailing upward in unison
signifying those below are collectively as
smart as a tree full of hoot owls being fushed
to fnd their way.
Some will. To travel on down the road. Oth-
ers will hit detours. Tere will be dead ends,
too.
Accomplishments achieved. Something
to text home about. Bragging rights. Hav-
ing it made. Five-car garages and mortgages
to the max. Dining out nightly and having
a meeting. Happily married and feeling ft
and sassy with a heart as sound as a cabbage.
Savoring the secure embrace of success.
Others will have spoken in haste uncertain
I-Dos and experience the anxiety of an MRI
outcome. Budget dinners will be the norm.
Tere will be deaths. Te Big-C will be di-
agnosed all too ofen. Suicides are not out of
the question. Bankruptcy and repos and pan-
handling may come into play.
Its just the way it is. Here in the real world.
Educated with a degree or not. Fate has a say
so, also.
Some will be blessed. Tank God. Others
will be blamed. Rightfully so, and shamed.
Regardless, the grads of 20 and 14 shared
a May graduation day. And thats swell. I just
hope they quickly learn that excuse notes
from their mothers usually dont work with
bosses.
By the way, I just fnished another round
of schooling. Afer attending 11 universities
that taught me how little I knew in the past.
My future, at 70 years old, is still bright.
Tanks to a speeding ticket in the town
that takes pride in being weird Austin.
It was the frst ticket for me in over 50 years.
And yes, when I signed the citation on March
5th I got a case of the green apple nasties.
For the privilege of traveling 65 mph in a 55
mph zone it was my displeasure to shell out $165.
To keep said ticket of my record it was my
displeasure to take an online defensive driving
course. Tats what I did Monday and Tuesday
and as the biblical rains fell (thank God). Need-
less to say, while scanning the computer screen I
developed a hell of a skull cramp.
It was $35 for the course, $35 more for a
certifed driving history record and $37.50
for the course certifcate of completion to be
FedEx-ed to me.
Lord, what a high price to pay for more
instruction at my age. However, I can now
boast that I am a bona fde graduate of Idjit
School.
So I logged of with the knowledge my de-
fensive driving school certifcate would allow
me ticket dismissal and 10 per cent discount
on insurance. While the recent academic
grads will be facing a questionable destiny.
Time to the key the ignition. But before I
set of Id like to leave you with this from Will
Durant:
Education is a progressive discovery of
our own ignorance.
...Down the road.

George
Rodriguez
Tis is an edited transcript of
an interview with GOP candidate
for Texas Rail Road Commission
Ryan Sitton heard on Te News
from the Camphouse on KULM
98.3 FM.
Brune: Recently, we discussed
the signifcance of being energy
self-sufcient. We also noted that,
being in the position of a global
power, having an impact on the
global market is imperative to
national security. However, un-
less there are missiles landing on
our homes or airliners fying into
buildings in New York, the aver-
age American is only concerned
with paying a mortgage, put-
ting groceries on the table, go-
ing fshing on the weekend, and
hopefully improving the future
for their children. When we talk
about self-sufciency and sing
drill baby drill, average Ameri-
cans entertain day dreams about
39-cent gas. So, with the consid-
erations of average Americans
in mind how does more oil
and gas production relate to the
price at the pump? If we build the
needed infrastructure of pipelines
and refneries, and, begin export-
ing natural gas and other refned
products on the global market
will our domestic prices go down?
Also, why have prices increased
so dramatically in the past eight
years? If Texas production has
increased, why hasnt the price at
the pump gone down in Texas?
Sitton: As per our conversation
about security, yes, Russia is more
aggressive in the Ukraine and has
a heightened presence in Latin
America because they have ef-
fectively cornered the market on
natural gas. And that corner has
fnanced their military and politi-
cal power grabs.
Ultimately, supply and de-
mand drives oil prices. When
there is more demand than sup-
ply prices go up. One thing to
keep in mind is that weve been
blessed. We have relatively lower
energy prices in the U.S.
When I was growing up, and
Im 39, I can remember 50 to 59-
cent gasoline. Nowadays, when
you look at the cost of refning
a barrel of oil to the point that
youre putting a gallon of gas in
your car, and then look at the
relative price of a gallon of bottled
water weve got cheap energy.
Tere is also a lot of push in try-
ing to keep the prices down by
manufacturing industries. With
all that said, the factor that keeps
prices elevated is the inability to
produce oil and gas.
If we over-restrict, or put in
rules and regulations that force
us into inefcient procedures,
if we do construction processes
that really dont make sense all
those types of things keep us from
producing oil and gas. Tey also
drive up the price of a barrel of
oil and drive up the price at the
pump.
If we want efcient, consistent
and reliable sources of energy
then we must have a good regu-
latory environment that allows
operators to invest their capital
and to develop resources that will
keep energy fowing.
Brune: Okay, in discussing
supply and demand: I was under
the impression that the supply of
oil and gas had gone up greatly.
Why hasnt the price at the pump
come down? Is the demand so
much higher than eight years
ago?
Sitton: When we discuss sup-
ply and demand were talking
about the global scale, and that
demand has gone up. Six years
ago, we were buying 60 percent of
our oil from overseas. Over that
time period the demand has gone
up substantially. Weve seen that
particularly in China and India.
As other countries demand for
oil has risen, the U.S. demand for
oil has gone down. We peeked at
using 7 billion barrels of oil a
year. Today the U.S. uses about 6
billion barrels of oil a year.
In essence what were saying is
that since our demands have gone
down but the global markets that
drive the price have gone up our
production increases were need-
ed to keep prices relatively stable
in the U.S.
Today, in Europe people are
paying twice as much for gasoline
as citizens of the U.S. Right now,
the price of diesel in the U.K. is
between eight and nine dollars a
gallon. We must keep growing
our production of oil and gas to
ofset the growing demand of oil
and gas globally to insure lower
prices at the pump for domestic
consumers, as well as, industry.
Brune: What part would more
availability of oil from Canada
through the Keystone Pipeline
play in this scenario?
Sitton: Not all crude is created
equal. West Texas intermediate
from the Permian Basin is bench-
mark crude. Te heavier or more
sour crude is, the cheaper it is.
Tey are also more difcult and
expensive to refne. So, West Tex-
as intermediate may be trading at
$100/barrel but Canadian crude
may be $70/barrel.
What we want to do is build
the Canadian pipeline and bring
that oil to the high tech refneries
in Texas. Tat would allow us to
sell less expensive gas on our do-
mestic markets, sell more expen-
sive gas on foreign markets, and it
would also give our manufactur-
ers and industries distinct advan-
tages in business.
Brune: Another factor that has
been mentioned is infrastructure
for exports, and, infrastructure
for getting West Texas crude to
refneries.
Sitton: We do need more in-
frastructure for exporting natural
gas. Were thinking 10 years down
the road where Texas is one of the
major energy producers in the
world. We want to be in position
to export in large volumes. To do
that, we need more pipelines and
roads.
Brune: Te oil and gas indus-
try knows for certain that there is
actually that much natural gas in
Texas?
Sitton: Yes sir! Te U.S. uses
25-trillion cubic feet of natural
gas a year. We have technical re-
serves of 2.2 quadrillion cubic feet
of natural gas in the U.S. Tats
more than 90 years of natural
gas reserves. About half of that is
in Texas. So, Texas could supply
the entire U.S. with natural gas for
almost the next 50 years.
the hotel and when is a bit
vague afer that.
It wasnt until sometime
in the 1930s when the
Droupy family took over
the business.
Deidra said, From what
I remember the restaurant
portion of the building was
closed for a while; I believe
my Grandmother, Helen S.
Droupy, and the kids still
at home ran the hotel for a
time.
Tey contracted-out
each portion of the busi-
ness (restaurant and hotel)
is what I can understand to
diferent people or families
over the years. Tis period
is unclear and no one ever
could remember for sure
the sequence of events for
the many contractors.
Te hotel operation was
successful for Mrs. Droupy,
so she decided to open the
restaurant for business.
Sometime before the war
ended she sent $40 and a
grocery list across the street
to Bubba Menkings familys
grocery store. I am not sure
the exact building it was lo-
cated in, however Mr. Men-
king used to laugh and tell
me he, carried bags of gro-
ceries across the street all
afernoon so Mrs. Droupy
could open the restaurant
for business again! It was
their biggest order ever.
Elvis Slept Here
Believe it or not, Elvis
came to Gonzales twice.
Te frst time he came
through, he slept at Te Al-
calde. He and his manager
were passing through town
on their way to the Louisi-
ana Hayride in Shreveport,
LA and needed somewhere
to sleep for a few hours be-
fore hitting the road again.
Clarence Vyvjala saw the
new convertible Oldsmo-
bile parked in front of the
hotel that night. As he was
admiring the car, Elvis and
his manager came out of
the hotel and put their lug-
gage in the trunk. Vyvjala
told them it was the pretti-
est car hed ever seen. Elvis
introduced himself and said
he was going to do a gig in
Gonzales in the summer.
Its unclear if Elvis stayed
the night at the hotel when
he returned in August of
1955 for the concert at In-
dependence Park. Tere are
some reports he was seen
making out in the backseat
of that shiny new car right
afer the concert. Perhaps
he didnt need a room that
night.
Bonnie and Clyde also
stayed at the Alcalde in the
1930s. Deidra recounts her
fathers story, My father
remembered when it was.
A lady came in request-
ing to see a room. People
asked to see rooms before
renting in those days. My
father remembered her be-
cause single women didnt
rent rooms back then. She
requested to see room 207.
Afer seeing it, she said shed
take it. Odd for the times,
she did the whole transac-
tion herself.
A few hours later, a man
came in and asked to see
room 208. It just happened
to adjoin to 207. Tey didnt
spend the night, but stayed
a few hours.
Knowing Bonnie and
Clyde were in the area, the
Sherif had been search-
ing all the local hotels and
boarding houses. Ten he
came to the Alcalde.
Dad said, I think those
are the two people in 207
and 208. When they went
to check, the rooms were
empty. Tey think Bonnie
and Clyde jumped out the
window and went down the
fre escape.
Deidra added, Many
famous silent movie stars
stayed there, too. Tey were
helping promote the new
theater in town.
Fred Droupy, Deidras
father, took over the hotel
afer the war.
Deidra said, My Dad,
Fred Droupy, was a well-
respected cook in the Navy
during the war. He used
to laugh and tell me about
when they would send him
to cook special menus when
secluded meetings were
held with several Admirals
and upper-rank ofcers.
Tey would always request
him to cook for their meet-
ings and ofen recognized
and personally thanked
him for the delicious meal. I
believe he was the only one
of his siblings to have gone
into the military service.
Fred ran it until his passing
in 1977.
Ten Deidra took over
the hotel from 1978-98. In
1982 the hotel frst got air-
conditioning. Deidra ran
the cofee shop people still
fondly remember her pan-
cakes. She said, It was the
grill. I tried, but I just cant
make them the same way
at home. Deidra closed the
hotel in 1998.
Deidra said, When
asked why I closed the Al-
calde, [I tell people] I made
a mid-life decision before it
became a mid-life crisis.
Around 2004 Richard
Green, Sr., bought it from
Deidra. He used it for ofce
space for a while, and then
sold it to Lucas Energy in
2004.
Richards son, Rick Jr.,
and Ricks wife Kara bought
the hotel from Lucas Energy
in 2013.

They didnt register
under their own names,
but Bonnie and Clyde

to be the two people
who took rooms at the
Alcalde but mysteriously
disappeared as law
ofcers closed in one
night in the 1930s.

Mexican man drowns
June 5, 1880
On this day in 1880, Myra Maybelle (Belle) Shirley Reed, the
Bandit Queen, married her second, or possibly third, hus-
band, Sam Starr, in the Cherokee Nation. Belle Starr was born
near Carthage, Missouri, in 1848. During the Civil War her
family supported Confederate irregulars such as the raider
William Clarke Quantrill. By 1864, after Carthage was burned,
the family had migrated to Scyene, Texas, near Dallas. There,
in July 1866 Cole, Jim, Bob, and John Younger and Jesse
James, Missouri outlaws who had ridden with Quantrill, used
the Shirley home as a hideout. Her first husband, Jim Reed,
became involved with the Younger, James, and Starr gangs,
which killed and looted throughout Texas, Arkansas, and the
Indian Territory. After Jim Reed was killed by a deputy sheriff
at Paris, Texas, in 1874, Belle may have married Bruce Younger.
If that relationship existed, it soured before she married Sam
Starr. Belle and Sam Starr were later charged with horse steal-
ing, and she received two six-month prison terms. In 1886
she was acquitted of yet another charge of horse theft, but
in the meantime her husband and an Indian policeman had
shot each other to death. Belle Starr subsequently took sev-
eral lovers, including Jim July (or Jim Starr), Blue Duck, Jack
Spaniard, and Jim French. In 1889, while Starr was living in
the Choctaw Nation, near the Canadian River, an unknown
assassin killed her from ambush with a shotgun.

CEREMONY: Restored Confederate monument saluted
ContinuedfrompageA1
ContinuedfrompageA1
GEDC: Wins state award for project
cation ceremony as reported in the Gonza-
les Inquirer in 1909.
Tere were 5,000 people here that
day, he quipped. Afer several hours of
speeches, then there was a grand ball at the
Gonzales Opera House. Tat many people
spending 12 or more hours in the hot July
sun in Gonzales should tell you, were a lot
harder to entertain these days.
Eska noted the diference between the
United Daughters of the Confederacy and
other historical and veterans preservation
organizations was that Te UDC is the
only preservation organization that de-
fends and preserves not only the memory,
but the honor, of the only group of Ameri-
can veterans who lost their war. Tey are
unique in that respect.
Local Cross of Honor Chapter mem-
bers read a list of the countys Confed-
erate veterans. Three members of the
audience Inez Luzell, Ray Hallibur-
ton and June Halliburton Carley are
living grandchildren of Confederate
veterans.
The monument was restored last year
entirely with funds raised by the UDC.
Robert Marshall, who did the restora-
tion work, illustrated the most difficult
part of that task was the statue itself,
which absorbs water. The 40-foot-tall
monument has now been coated with a
protected chemical which helps deflect
water to increase the life of the carving.
It doesnt look that tall, but when
youre up there in December and the
winds blowing 40 miles an hour, it
looks real tall, Marshall said.

opment of the Gonzales

TEDC will formally pres-
ent the recipients of its an-
nual Workforce Excellence
Awards for 2014 at a special
awards luncheon on June

GEDC directors were told
during Mondays monthly
meeting that more growth
is coming to town, and it
might not be far from the
time to consider being clas-
sifed as a larger town.
A few years ago Id go to
these conventions and peo-
ple would say, Oh, youre
from Gonzales, Louisiana?
ED Director Carolyn Gib-
son-Baros noted during a
report on a recent trip pro-
moting Gonzales at a con-
vention in Las Vegas. Now,
people are beginning to re-
alize where we are and that
were a good market.
Gibson-Baros noted Te
UPS Store is now advertis-
ing looking for a franchisee
in Gonzales, and several
restaurants plan to also ofer
franchises this summer.
GEDC board president
Nathan Neuse reported hed
learned at the convention
that it might be close to the
time when Gonzales begins
advertising its population as
more than 10,000.
If we get to 10,000, it
opens up a whole new realm
of franchises, he said.

ment to the City of Gonza-
les to enable construction of
a line which will serve both
the GEDCs new facility at
513 St. George St. as well as
the Alcalde.

Tis May, the Texas A&M
AgriLife Extension Service
joins other Cooperative
Extension services around
the United States in cel-
ebrating the 100th anniver-
sary of the signing of the
federal Smith-Lever Act on
May 8, 1914. Tis act pro-
vides for cooperative ag-
ricultural extension work
at the nations land-grant
colleges and county gov-
ernments are vital partners
in that work. As part of the
celebration, AgriLife Ex-
tension representatives will
present Extensions Build-
ing a Better Texas Award
to every County Commis-
sioners Court in Texas for
decades of cooperation and
support. County Exten-
sion ofces are located in
250 of Texass 254 counties,
and Extension serves every
county.
Dwight Sexton, AgriLife
Extension-Gonzales Coun-
ty Agent, said We want
our county government to
know how much we ap-
preciate the partnership
we have developed over the
years. Without their sup-
port, we would not have
been able to serve the peo-
ple of Gonzales County as
well as we have, and many
Texans would have missed
opportunities to beneft
from the practical, univer-
sity-based information that
Extension ofers.
Sexton will also be hon-
ored with a distinguished
service award at the nation-
al Association of County
Ag Agents in July.
AgriLife Extension pro-
vides dozens of popular
programs, including Texas
4-H and Youth Develop-
ment, Texas Master Gar-
deners and Junior Master
Gardeners, Texas Superstar
plants, Walk Across Tex-
as, Do Well Be Well with
Diabetes, Better Living for
Texans, Texas Master Natu-
ralists, the Passenger Safety
Project and many more. It
also works one on one with
local farmers, ranchers
and landowners; provides
wildlife services; diagno-
ses plant diseases; tests soil,
water and forage; trains
food handlers and pesti-
cide applicators; and even
trains county ofcials in
the basics of serving their
communities.
Headquartered at Texas
A&M University in College
Station, AgriLife Extension
is a member of Te Texas
A&M University System. It
is linked in a unique part-
nership with the nation-
wide Cooperative Exten-
sion System through the
U.S. Department of Agri-
cultures National Institute
of Food and Agriculture
and through Texas county
governments. County gov-
ernments help provide
locations and funding for
county Extension ofce
facilities, oversee bud-
gets and appropriations,
and help AgriLife Exten-
sion staf identify program
goals.
As many Texans know,
you can call on your coun-
ty Extension agents for
help with a wide variety
of subjects, said Dr. Dar-
rell Dromgoole, AgriLife
Extensions associate direc-
tor for county programs.
Extension strives to meet
the needs of Texans by ask-
ing them what educational
programs and services
would help in their daily
life. Our strong support
from county governments
allows us to develop those
programs and deliver them
directly to the people.
Dr. Douglas Steele, di-
rector of AgriLife Exten-
sion, said, By building
coalitions with county gov-
ernments and collaborat-
ing with other public and
private groups and organi-
zations and with the help
of our more than 100,000
volunteers AgriLife Ex-
tension conducts educa-
tional programs that ad-
dress the diverse range of
contemporary and emerg-
ing issues afecting the resi-
dents of our state. By pre-
senting this award, we hope
to show just how much the
spirit of cooperation within
each county means to us,
and to all Texans, as we cel-
ebrate a century of success
in Extension education and
look forward to extending
knowledge and providing
solutions in the future.

SAN MARCOS It was
not one single aspect of
Flatonias game (pitching,
felding, defense, hitting,
base running) that was the
key factor in the Dogs 2-1
win over Weimar in the re-
gional fnal Tursday night
at Texas State University.
It was a little or a lot of
everything mixed in with
some solid work ethic.
It (our success) has been
a total team efort all year,
Flatonia head coach Shawn
Bruns said.
Flatonia scored two runs
at its frst time at bat and
was able to lean on them
for the rest of the game
through gritty defensive
work.
We got a few runs across
early and both of our pitch-
ers (Marcus and Mitchell
Mica) threw well. (John)
Blaha threw well for Wei-
mar. It was a great District
28-1A battle, he said. Our
guys played their hearts out
in this game. We practice
well week in and week out
Bruns said the battles
during district between
Flatonia, Shiner and Wei-
mar were usually low scor-
ing and close.
Te teams split the dis-
trict pairings, with Flatonia
winning 6-3 at Weimar and
the Wildcats returning the
favor, earning a 4-3 deci-
sion in Flatonia.
We have had great ball
games with Weimar year in
and year out, Bruns said.
Last year, Weimar de-
feated Flatonia in the same
round but Bruns was more
happy about the progress
of his team and making
state more than knocking
out the same team that had
done likewise a year ago.
In the top of the frst
inning, Weimars Carson
Hollas got a two-out single
into center but a ball caught
by right felder Easton Migl
ended the inning for the
Dogs.
Casen Novak got a lead-
of single andt he hit by
Migl got Novak to second
and he went on to third,
beating a throw.
Weimar misfelded Mar-
cus Micas ball, getting No-
vak home for the 1-0 Flato-
nia lead.
Later, Brandon Perez hit
a fy ball to right feld to
score Migl to put the Dogs
ahead 2-0.
Flatonia quickly dis-
patched Weimar in the top
of the second inning.
Te Wildcats threatened
in the third inning as lead-
of Ryan Almanza reached
on the error and then went
to second on the sacrifce
by Hollas. He was able to
steal third and Weimar got
corners when Brody Gall
picked up the walk.
Blaha then hit a fy ball to
center felder Gus Vengas
and Almanza attempted to
score. Venegas made the
long throw to home plate,
as Bruns made the recep-
tion and was able to tag out
Almanza for a double play
and the end of the inning.
Te Cats halved Flato-
nias lead in the ffh inning,
starting with a leadof dou-
ble from Dayton Milner.
He took third on the sacri-
fce by Greyson Ulrich and
scored on the subsequent
sacrifce by Tanner Janak.
It was more nerve-
wracking moments for
Flatonia and its fans in the
seventh inning.
Gall got a base hit and
moved to second on the
sacrifce.
Marcus Mica then came
on to pitch in place of
Mitchell Mica. He walked
his frst batter. Millner put
the ball to near third base
where Livan Cedillo man-
aged to feld it and get back
to base for the felders
choice on Gall for two outs.
With runners on second
and frst, Marcus Mica then
struck out Janak to wrap up
the game.
I came in with one out
and it was 2-0 on the frst
batter, Marcus Mica said.
Pitched to him, came
through and eventually got
all of the batters. I struck
the last guy out looking and
that is the best feeling Ive
ever had in my life.
Marcus has started some
games this season but clos-
ing is a whole diferent
story.
When you start, you
have time to settle in, he
said. When you have to
close the game with one
out, the other team needs
one run to tie the game and
the runner is on second, it
is kinda of pressuring.
Flatonia will be making
its fourth trip to the state
tournament as a program.
Te Dogs frst visit was
Bruns frst year as head
coach back in 1992, where
they fnished runner up
with an 8-0 win over Baird
and fell to Valley Mills 9-4
in the championship.
Te Dogs paid a return
trip in 93 earning their frst
state championship with a
3-2 win over Baird in the
semifnals and edged Pon-
der 2-1 in the title game.
Flatonias most recent
journey to Round Rock
came in 2008, where the
Dogs fell in the champion-
ship game to Bosqueville
10-3 afer blanking Sey-
mour 12-0 in the semif-
nals.

FLATONIA Each
year, the Flatonia baseball
seemed to go a little further
in the playofs.
Last year, they took an
exit in the regional fnals
afer playing district foe
Weimar for three games.
In accordance with the
pattern, the Bulldogs won
a trip to the state tourna-
ment for the frst time
since 2008 and following in
the footsteps of the 2011-
2012 Flatonia sofball team
that won state.
I am excited. I am
ready, senior catcher Will
Bruns said. I feel like we
are preparing ourselves
well.
It has been one of those
dreams that has fnally
come true, senior pitcher/
outfelder Mitchell Mica
said. We have been in the
playofs every year since
my freshman year and
seems like all of the hard
work has paid of.
Just merely making the
state tournament will not
satisfy the Dogs
We want to make it
to the last round (state
championship, if possible,
Bruns said.
It (job) is not done yet,
Mica said.
Bruns said in 2012, his
sophomore year, Flatonia
was regional quarterfnal-
ists and last year, were re-
gional fnalists.
Tis year we made it six
rounds and that tells you
how much work Coach
(Shawn) Bruns has put into
us, he said. He has helped
us improve over the last
three years. Te want to go
further and further has in-
creased.
We have three amazing
coaches in Coach Bruns,
Bryan Zimmerman and
James Zaruba. Tey cover
everything from frst-to-
third situations to plac-
ing pitches right, outfeld
drills, etc. When you have
good coaches that care
about what is going on, you
have success.
Mica said another rea-
son for Flatonia being in
the state tournament is
the work and dedication
by himself and fellow se-
niors Brandon Perez, Zach
Velasquez, Will Bruns, Ji-
gar Patel and Wyatt Weh-
meyer.
We have been striv-
ing for almost since junior
high, he said. We almost
made it in football (region-
al fnalists) and basketball
made the playofs. Tis
goal has just continued to
grow and grow, and has f-
nally gotten to this, at end
of our senior year. Our se-
niors have this dedication
to every sport they play
and this helps the younger
kids move along with us.
Will Bruns said state-
tournament games are
going to be like any other
game Flatonia has played
during the season.
Just have to go out there
and play ball, he said.
Te Dogs will be playing
in front of a larger crowd
than they are used to and
in a stadium larger than
what they have played in
this season.
Flatonia will embrace
the atmosphere.
I personally like to have
lots of noise at a game,
Mica admitted. I like to
have lots of excitement
around me. It adds to the
atmosphere of the game for
me. I block it out but I still
hear it. I stay pretty calm
during games and I feel
like I can do it at the state
games.
Flatonia leaned on its
pitching and defense to
earn the trip to the Dell
Diamond in Round Rock.
Our defense keeps other
teams down by not scoring
runs, Will Bruns said.
And the Dogs will need
no major deviations from
their normal plan.
We have to stick with
what got us here, Shawn
Bruns said. Some teams
try to do too much when
they get to the state tour-
nament. If we can play our
game and our pitchers do
a good job of throwing
strikes and defense plays
well behind them, then we
have a shot to beat anyone
in the state of Texas.
He said Flatonia does get
the timely hits at the plate,
although there was some
struggles at the start of the
season.
In the playofs, when
we have gotten runners in
scoring position, we have
done a good job of getting
hits, he said. Our pitching
and defense is our strong
suite.
We are not going to
strike out 15 or 16 batters
in a game but we strike out
four or fve, six or seven
and play good defense be-
hind them.
Flatonia (22-6) was
scheduled to play Anson
yesterday in the Class 1A
state semifnal. Te winner
took on either Douglass
or Dawson in the 1A title
game that was played this
morning at 9.

sort at Tapatio Springs near
Boerne. Te tournament
was a sellout with 36 teams
involving 144 golfers.
For the event, coun-
try music star George
Strait, co-owner of Tapatio
Springs, donated an auto-
graphed guitar and CD. It
was rafed to the golfers
and generated more than
$3,000, which was includ-
ed in the tournaments net

million raised for charity.

ganized and operated by

AUSTIN For the frst time in a de-
cade, motorists can help support Texas
State Parks by purchasing a new con-
servation license plate design that pays
homage to generations of campers who
have stayed overnight in Texas State
Parks.
Te new plate depicts a camping
scene of a tent under a starry sky with
a campfre in the foreground, evoking
memories of fun times in parks with
family and friends, said Brent Leisure,
TPWD State Parks Division director.
Conservation license plates repre-
sent a great way for outdoor enthusi-
asts to support their state park system,
said Leisure. Te proceeds generated
through the sales of both the camping
and bluebonnet plate help to provide
funds necessary for the stewardship,
maintenance and visitor services that
all Texans have come to expect in their
state parks.
In a competition to select a plate top-
ic, the camping design received more
than 6,000 votes through an online
survey of Facebook followers and state
park newsletter subscribers in 2013.
Statistics show that camping is a very
popular activity that park visitors en-
joy.
Last year, Texas State Parks recorded
more than 2.3 million overnight visits.
Some of the most popular parks for
camping include Garner State Park,
Inks Lake State Park, Cedar Hill State
Park, Huntsville State Park and Brazos
Bend State Park.
TPWD frst launched its conserva-
tion license plates initiative in 2000.
Te new camping plate design will
join the four other available plates: the
horned lizard (beneftting wildlife di-
versity); white-tailed deer (beneftting
big game management); large-mouth
bass (beneftting bass fshing); and the
bluebonnet (beneftting state parks).
Te new plate will sell for $30, with
$22 directly beneftting Texas State
Parks. Tis annual fee is in addition to
the regular registration cost.
Since its debut 14 years ago, the
Conservation License Plate Program
has generated more than $6.7 million
to support state parks, outdoor rec-
reation and conservation projects in
Texas. Some of the projects funded by
the license plate proceeds include com-
munity outreach programs, wildlife
surveys, fshing programs, and habitat
restoration. For examples of specifc
projects that have beneftted from the
license plate program, visit http://con-
servationplate.org/projects.phtml
Contrary to what people may think,
you do not have to wait for your vehi-
cle registration notice to arrive before
you can order a new plate. To buy the
new camping license plate or one of the
other four designs available, visit www.
conservationplate.org or a county tax
assessor-collectors ofce. Your plate
will be ready in about two weeks. Plates
ordered online will be shipped to the
purchasers nearest local county tax
ofce for pick up. If ordered at a local
county tax ofce, it will be mailed to
your home.
All conservation plates are available
for cars, trucks, motorcycles, trailers
and RVs around the state..
Motorists can support Texas
State parks with license plates

Te Main Street Summer
Concert Series kicks of
Friday, with country cover
band Mike & the Moonpies
scheduled to take the main
stage as the evenings fea-
tured musical performers.
Te band has taken on a
role as one of Austins pre-
mier honky-tonk bands,
aided by the release of their
2012 single and album Te
Hard Way.
Mike & the Moonpies
waltzed into these Texas
dance halls about six years
ago shilling true country
music to two-steppers and
tall drinkers nearly every
single night of the week.
Tats how things came
to be for Catlin and Kyle
and Zach, Preston, and
Johnny: Step onto the
stage and keep up with this
country; these standards,
and the songs that Mikes
scripted. Make that old fel-
low dance and that young
couple drink and that cute
girl in the corner go on and
set the world on fre.
Te Moonpies opened
around Austin at the Bro-
ken Spoke and Hole in
the Wall before running
one of the most notorious
weekly residencies in town
on Tursdays at the White
Horse. By then, the band
had already bought a van,
and theyd begun to hit
the road. Now they aver-
age about a thousand miles
every week, posting up
around the cities and small
towns in Texas, Tennessee,
Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
Two albums came to bear
at various points in be-
tween: 2010s Real Country
and 2012s Te Hard Way,
a modern take on the old
goldens of country music
turned towards the ones
on the prowl for a real time
that evening.
Its just diferent from
the rest of todays coun-
try, says Harmeier. All the
songs are pretty traditional
swing songs, and nobodys
really doing that today:
popularizing traditional
country music. Youve got
people who are doing it in
Austin, but were taking it
on the road and showing it
of, and showing the people
what that sounds all about.
We play dance halls
that havent had traditional
country since the Eighties.
Were bringing that back,
and were bringing it for
three hours every night.
Te band earned some
unvarnished praise during
South by Southwest:
Mike and the Moonpies
are a prime example that
classic country is still go-
ing strong in 2012. Teir
regular appearances at
Austins White Horse are
already legendary, and they
have quite a cultural melt-
ing pot (no pun intended)
at their shows. Sufce it
to say, if Austins famous
70s live music venue, the
Armadillo World Head-
quarters, was still around,
theyd ft right it. No matter
where you catch Mike and
the Moonpies, they make
any joint feel like a good
ol Texas honky-tonk. Just
make sure you come ready
to dance, wrote Texas Mu-
sic Magazine.

Collective nouns are
fascinating, especially
when one kind of animal
has multiple ones that
can be used. Take ducks,
for instance: A group
of them can be called a
fock, a badling, a brace,
a plump, a sord or a
waddling. If you see them
on water you can call them
a bunch, a paddling or a
raf; and a group of ducks
fying together is known
variously as a skein, a
string or a team.
Noted industrialist John

same suit he wore as Clark
