Opponents of the Gonza-
les Economic Development

Corp.s plans to purchase a
property outside city limits
for use as an industrial park
saw their attempt to force a
plebescite on the issue dealt
a blow Tuesday when the
petition turned into the city
was deemed invalid under
the city charter, but several
members of City Council
voiced regret over the way
the issue was handled.
Opponents of the site,
located at Interstate 10 and
FM 794, have voiced sev-
eral concerns, primarily
over whether or not the city
would annex other proper-
ties to make the site contig-
Afer fnishing second in last years Gon-
zales PBR event, Luis Blanco said he vowed
to himself he was going to win it in 2014.
And, he said, got some extra help.
No matter where you go in the PBR, its
always tough, the Brazil native said. But
you need God to give you the power to win
in this event, so I give Him all the thanks.
Blanco won the Gonzales event by being
the only rider to cover two head.
He turned in a score of 82 on Bear Pas-
coe/Hart Cattle Co.s Austins Army dur-
ing Fridays frst go-round, then cemented
the win with a spectacular 86.5 ride on 01
cattle Co./Barthold Cattle Co.s 151 dur-
ing Saturdays second go.
I felt it was real toguh last year, when I
got second, Blanco said. Tis year I really
wanted to win this one, I tried really hard
and God helped.
But while the Good Lord got the credit,
he didnt get the trophy. Moments afer re-
ceiving the championship belt buckel from
local Independent Cattlemens Association
of Texas director Billy Bob Low, Blanco
A compromise sugges-
tion may be changing the
location of Gonzales new
civic center and, per-
haps, eventually lead to the
relocation of Gonzales High
Schools football home.
Gonzales City Council
held a workshop session
Tuesday to discuss re-
drawing plans for locating
a multi-purpose center at
JB Wells Park, and a sug-
gestion from City Manager
Allen Barnes appeared to
receive positive feedback as
a compromise.
Barnes suggested that the
city could build an exposi-
tion center at the JB Wells
site as a bare-bones metal
building capable of hous-
ing the junior-high rodeo
and other events for a rela-
tively inexpensive cost.
LULING Luling resi-
dents are being advised that
the new line theyre seeing
on their utility bills isnt
some new charge from the
city dreamed up to help
pay for the Tump.
City Council members
and City Manager Mike
Mayo on Tursday took a
moment from the monthly
meeting agenda to address
the issue of a fuel adjust-
ment item which has begun
showing up on the utility
bills of local residents, lead-
ing to concerns of addition-
al charges.
Te utility bill now lists
a separate line item for the
fuel adjustment charge
passed on to us from LCRA
(Lower Colorado River Au-
thority), Mayo said.
He explained that the city
has in the past absorbed
any increase or decrease
in the fuel charge and that
YOAKUM He didnt bite
the head of any small animal like
Ozzy Osbourne, he didnt scream
like Aerosmiths Steven Tyler and
he didnt deliver shock value like
Miley Cyrus.
Instead, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
gave a performance in Yoakum
Friday evening which was more
George Straight: pure conserva-
tism.
Te outspoken junior senator
from Texas delighted a full house
at the Yoakum Civic Center Friday
with a talk reafrming the heart of
Tea Party conservatism spiced with
stinging rebukes for the Obama
Administration and the Demo-
cratic Party.
We are facing threats to our
liberty unlike anything Ive
ever seen before, Cruz said at the
event sponsored by the Republi-
can Women of Yoakum. It is now
or never to pull this country back
from the fscal and economic clif
were facing.
Cruz said, however, he is eter-
nally optimistic. Weather

GISD board OKs updates
Gonzales school trustees
on Monday approved updates
to the student Code of Con-
duct and student handbook,
and made provisions for space
available in the juvenile justice
education program in Wilson
County.
Te district is reserving one
seat in the JJAEP program run
by the Wilson County justice
system, as well as a special-
needs seat and 12 other seats
in the Disciplinary Alternative
Education Program (DAEP)
run at the same Floresville lo-
cation. Te total cost for the
reservation is about $86,000.
Superintendent Dr. Kim
Strozier told trustees that par-
ticipation in the regional co-op
would enable the district to re-
place the program which has
been housed at Gonzales High
School the last several years.
Gonzales would transport
students involved to Nixon,
where they would join up with
a Nixon-Smiley CISD bus for
the rest of the hour-long trip to
Floresville.
Trustees gave their support
afer receiving assurances that
younger children would not be
riding the bus with older kids
unmonitored.
My concern is the younger
kids, thats a long bus ride, said
Trustee Josie Smith-Wright.
Strozier noted the Floresville
facility can ofer a wide range
of services that we dont have
access to.
Te board also approved a
one-year exception to board
policy requiring ffh- and
eighth-grade students to
achieve passing grades on the
STAAR tests before being pro-
moted to the next grade. Te
State Board of Education re-
cently revised the math stan-
dards and the Texas Education
Agency will be publishing only
raw scores without a passing
standard this year.
Trustees also heard thanks
from Richard Franklin, who
heads up the Youth Unlimited
program, a private faith-based
behavior-modifcation pro-
gram being used in GISD. An
illness delayed implementation
of the program last year, but
he said hes looking forward to
helping make a diferrence in
the lives of students.
One of the release forms
we send home to parents asks
them what their dreams and
aspirations are for their kids,
then we ask them to communi-
cate that to their kids, Frank-
lin said. A lot of times, thats
whats missing.
He said the program helps
bridge what can be a gap be-
tween parents and educators
by placing the emphasis on stu-
dent behavior in the students
hands.
If we get these kids to un-
derstand why theyre here, they
can be turned in the right di-
rection, he said. Better grades
are a by-product but not the
focus.
SHINER During the
regular Shiner ISD Board of
Trustees meeting Wednes-
day, Superintendent Trey
Lawrence announced that
the school district will
be adopting new security
measures and implement-
ing new systems to the its
schools and buildings.
A new $3,000 system
called Police Sync will be
used by all the schools.
Te new system will alert
school ofcers, teachers,
and administrators of any
emergencies in the area
such as intruders, lock-
downs, or natural disasters
.Tis will enable the ad-
ministrators to take extra
security measures that will
allow it to protect its faculty
and students ahead of time.
SISD has also recently
installed a new high def-
nition security system that
will give a 360 degree view
of the schools including ar-
eas previously not covered
by the districts previous
security system.
Both the boys and girls
weight rooms will be get-
ting new exercise equip-
ment afer the approval of
a grant awarded to the dis-
trict. Te district will also
be getting new textbooks as
the state changes the cur-
riculum requirements with
the full implementation
of the new state-regulated
STAAR exams. Te new
press box for the football
feld is also expected to be
fnished by July 31st.
Te lunch prices for the
2014-2015 school year were
also discussed. Due to the
federal governments regu-
lations on lunch pricing
the school board decided to
raise the price to cover the
regulations bare minimum.
Pricing changes are as fol-
lows:
High School was $1.95
now $2.00.
Elementary was $1.70
now $1.80.
All breakfast was $1.00
now $1.25
Lawrence has been
named the runner-up in
the regional Superinten-
dent of the Year program
sponsored by the Texas As-
sociation of School Boards
(TASB).
Board members also
decided to add three ad-
ditional teaching positions
because of student enroll-
ment growth. During the
June 11 meeting, student-
growth projections were in-
troduced which Lawrence
said could cause stafng
issues for the 2014-15 year.

Its hard to imagine a more apt summa-
tion of the lunatic state of the nations im-
migration debate than the split screen over
the past weeks.
In Washington, most respectable opin-
ion lined up, yet again, to condemn Repub-
licans for not passing an amnesty under
the guise of defunct-for-now comprehen-
sive immigration reform.
Meanwhile, the crisis on the Southern
border continued. A massive infux of
people largely driven by Central Ameri-
cans, many of them children drawn here
in the expectation of lax immigration en-
forcement is overwhelming border ofcials
and facilities.
A Wall Street Journal story about the cri-
sis was headlined Obama Plans Executive
Action to Bolster Border Security, which
has a man-bites-dog feel to it afer all of the
administrations executive actions to un-
dermine immigration enforcement.
House Speaker John Boehner spoke im-
precisely when he excoriated the president
for giving false hope to children and their
families that if they enter the country ille-
gally they will be allowed to stay. Actually,
the hope is quite real.
A leaked memo from a high-ranking
Border Patrol ofcial said that only 3 per-
cent of non-Mexicans apprehended at the
border are being returned to their native
countries.
It will not be open arms, Vice President
Joe Biden thundered in Guatemala City, at-
tempting to dissuade would-be migrants.
Were going to hold hearings with our
judges, consistent with international law
and American law, and were going to send
the vast majority of you back.
Te only part he had right is that we will
hold hearings. Te immigrants themselves
may or may not be part of them.
Te administration is waving the fami-
lies and children into the United States,
dispersing them around the country, and
giving them a date -- ofen quite distant
because of a huge backlog -- to appear in
immigration court. Experience says only
about a quarter will actually show up.
Why would they? As Byron York of the
Washington Examiner points out, once il-
legal immigrants are in the country, they
fairly quickly can become part of the broad
category of people that the administration
has exempted from interior enforcement.
Even many of the illegal immigrants
who go all the way through the system and
get a removal order dont go anywhere. Ac-
cording to Jessica Vaughan of the Center
for Immigration Studies, there are roughly
800,000 aliens who have been ordered re-
moved but are still here.
Te administrations policy of eviscerat-
ing interior enforcement is entirely its own
creation. Tat policy, together with the
presidents de facto amnesty of young ille-
gal immigrants and all the talk of a more
wide-ranging amnesty over the past year,
has had a predictable efect.
Te key to reversing the tide is enforce-
ment, and not just at the border. But the
same Wall Street Journal story with the
headline about Obama bolstering the bor-
der reported he will make at least minor
adjustments to deportation policy later
this summer that would shield some illegal
immigrants from deportation -- with his
base agitating for even more far-reaching
action.
For the lef, and its fellow-travelers in the
business community and on the libertar-
ian right, there is only one side of the split
screen that matters. Its always amnesty.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Re-
view.
On Tuesday, July 8, League City, TX took a
bold step in the fght against illegal immigra-
tion. Te city council of League City passed an
ordinance banning the housing or detention of
undocumented immigrants within city limits by
6-2 vote. Immediately, the liberal elite represent-
ed by the mainstream media and liberal politi-
cians attacked. Tere was the standard attempt
to shame League City for its actions. Shame is
a powerful tool used by the lef when logic and
reason are not available.
Te legal experts immediately said city or-
dinance wont stand ...because federal govern-
ment trumps local government. It is funny how
these same legal experts rarely say much about
the on-going shredding of the Constitution by
President Obama.
Ten the mainstream media covered the
story with their usual play on emotions. Today,
news reports seem more geared for entertain-
ment rather than to inform and explain the facts.
Te mainstream media condemned League
Citys action as illegal, but they rarely say any-
thing about communities that declared them-
selves Sanctuary cities in clear violation and
defance of federal immigration law.
Te Austin City Council recently passed a
resolution demanding that the Travis County
Sherif stop participating in the Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) Secured Com-
munities initiative. Te Secured Communities
program helps ICE and the FBI identify the most
dangerous criminal aliens and prioritizes them
for deportation. Tis item received little to no
media coverage or political condemnation.
Tey also ignore the Constitution which al-
lows for states determine their future and des-
tiny. Here we have community acting to protect
its residents from harmful federal action, and the
people are portrayed as the bad guys.
What happened to we the people, or a gov-
ernment of, by, and for the people?
Whether it is a state or community defning
marriage as between a man and a woman, or
wanting to vote on an expensive streetcar project,
or the passing of pro-life legislation that protects
women, the mainstream media usually presents
the only liberal side of the story.
Today, we have a president whose solution to
the immigration invasion is for the federal gov-
ernment (the tax payers) to house, clothe, feed,
educate, and provide health care for illegal aliens
in our communities without our having a say.
We are just supposed to pay for it and shut up.
Well I say NO! As a taxpayer and an Ameri-
can, and I will not be shamed.
I am not responsible for the mayhem in their
countries, I did not divide their families, and I
certainly did not tell them to enter my country
illegally.
If you cant enter a Spurs game without a tick-
et, why can you enter America without permis-
sionand then expect the tax payers to pay for
your stay in our country?
Rather than more money for social services
for illegal aliens, send them back now. Tat
would be cheaper. Its time for American taxpay-
ers to rise up. Do not be shamed into being silent
because you are moral and patriotic.
Dont be ashamed of being anti-illegal im-
migrant. Remember the defense of liberty and
freedom starts in your own back yard.
For several months now weve
been reporting on various aspects
of plans for a new facility at JB Wells
Park. I call it a new facility because
there continues to be a wide diver-
gence of opinion about exactly what
folks want.
Do they want a recreation cen-
ter? Do they want a civic center?
Do they want an exposition center?
Do they want a convention center?
Do they want a place to for hur-
ricane evacuees to huddle? Or is it
supposed to be a facility capable of
doing any or all of the above?
I hate to break this news to the
We-dont-need-no-new-people-
here folks, but Gonzales needs all
of the above.
Recreation center doesnt nec-
essarily equate to gym.
We need a small recreation cen-
ter where kids can go hang out and
play ping-pong or pool or check-
ers or board games, without hav-
ing to assign an adult to directly
supercise the activity. Te kids can
check in and check out things, sign
them back in when theyre done,
like checking out a library book.
Tat teaches them responsibility
and how to comport themselves in
public.
Dont mistake my point: the Gon-
zales Youth Center does a spectacu-
lar job with the age group of kids it
works with, but a couple of open-
door rec reooms can greatly expand
the opportunities to keep kids of
the streets.
Incidentally, a recreation center
would also provide a place where
those fuddy-duddy kids my age and
older can go play board games (this
being Texas, we prefer dominoes
and checkers) without having to
hear a jukebox blasting, where you
can sit your elbow on the table with-
out soaking it in beer.
We also need a civic center: a
place where local organizations can
hold their meetings for small groups
for a negligible cost. Set out some
cookies, set up an urn for cofee and
a few chairs, youre done.
Move a few walls to swap the con-
fguration, and your civic center can
host other events small or even
medium-sized weddings, birthday
parties, anniversaries, even small
reunions. Add a small kitchen area
where food can be dispensed or
even prepared and the capabilities
of your civic center to engage book-
ings increases dramatically.
Some folks dont favor the notion,
but lets face a fact: Gonzales is the
gateway to the Eagle Ford Shale, and
as a result we are becoming increas-
ingly important on the business
map. We need an exposition center.
Im not talking about buying the
Astrodome and moving it to Gon-
zales County (thats another column
and by the way, I hear the Wash-
ington NFL franchise might be on
the market), but the people doing
business here need facilities to con-
duct their business. In todays world,
that means they need a place to hold
meetings of 500 to 1,000 people,
a place to display some of the new
technology theyre marketing, a
place to give multimedia presenta-
tions and a place to hold the training
sessions which more and more take
up the time of not only the people
wearing the suits but also the blue-
collar types who increasingly need
new knowledge.
Te trip from exposition to con-
vention is a small one, but also one
that we in Gonzales need to make.
Te convention business is a grow-
ing one: from collectors to curiosi-
ty-seekers, its a lucrative industry.
Convention-goers spend money
coming in, spend money when
theyre there, and spend money
going out; unlike fans of sporting
events, they dont camp and they
like to explore.
From gun or porcelain doll
shows to regional meetings of
both civic and business organi-
zations, conventions draw peo-
ple ... but there has to be more
than just a convention to go see.
A study by Economics Research
Associates concludes that not
only do you need a good facil-
ity and motel space to attract the
convention crowd you need
tourist attractions.
Like, maybe, a local museum
or two. Historic houses. Or
maybe the battlefeld where the
Texas Revolution began.
Gonzales has played an im-
portant role the last few times
a major storm has struck the
Texas coast. In each case, it was
lamented that we didnt have fa-
cilities capable of enabling evac-
uated local governments to con-
tinue to function, and no place
for evacuees to pull up and camp
for 24-48 hours. We need a facil-
ity with the capability to trans-
form from being able to host a
quinciera to a place that can be
a Red Cross feld headquarters.
To answer all these needs,
Gonzales could build fve or six
diferent facilities. Or we can
build one big honking facility ca-
pable of performing all of those
functions several of them at
once, in fact.
Te notion presented during
Tuesdays City Council work-
shop represents what I think is a
pretty good compromise: a bare-
bones expo center at JB Wells,
a more signifcantly-designed
multi-purpose civic center be-
tween Apache Stadium and First
Lutheran Church bordered by St.
Paul and St. Joseph streets.
No one is going to be 100
percent satisfed with whatever
is eventually presented for ap-
proval, but I think we now have
a good framework.

Crisis is Obamas own making
Tis is an edited transcript of
an interview with Del Rio na-
tive Clay Young, the owner of
Mexico Outftters Unlimited,
heard on Te News from the
Camphouse on KULM 98.3
FM.
Brune: Problems with
Mexico stay in the news. Ei-
ther were talking about drug
cartels and the crime creeping
across the border, or were dis-
cussing the illegal immigra-
tion crisis. And that is a damn
shame. Mexico is a beautiful
country that is also steeped in
pride, culture, and heritage.
Te problems we see in the
news are not indicative of the
Mexico with which Im famil-
iar. For more than 10 years Ive
accompanied and guided with
Clay Young and his Mexico
Outftters Unlimited. Te only
time Ive ever run into any bad
guys was when I went further
into the interior alone.
We do know there is cor-
ruption within the govern-
ment and agencies of Mexico
but the point of todays con-
versation is that even though
there is an obvious criminal
element throwing a shadow
over the country the people
of Mexico shouldnt neces-
sarily be judged.
A short time ago I revisit-
ed many of our old haunts in
Ciudad Acuna. The Corona
Club was empty and most
of the shops were closed and
deserted. What was once a
bustling avenue of tourist
trade is now a ghost town.
And I dont understand why.
Id like someone to show me
the danger. I dont see the
problem.
Young: We take a lot of
people into Mexico. We fol-
low the rules, we abide by
Mexican law, and weve never
had any bad experiences. The
law that really hurt tourist
trade in Mexico, and being
able to run back and forth
freely, was when the U.S.
decided that people needed
a passport to travel across
the southern and northern
borders. Much of what we
called tourist trade was the
college kids going to Mexico
to party. The passport law
was probably fueled by the
fears of infiltration caused
by 9-11. Then the drug crime
related to cartels escalated
at the same time and all that
bad publicity culminated
in killing the tourist trade.
The college party business
stopped.
There is a border cross-
ing card that a U.S. citizen
can attain and it is essentially
also a passport. But most
folks dont bother and just
dont go anymore.
I still go to Mexico three
or four days a week. And
the city of Acuna is making
efforts to appeal to Ameri-
cans once again. Presently, I
take almost 100 hunters into
Mexico every year and I dont
fear for their safety any more
than if we were hunting in
Texas.
Brune: The first few times
I was in Mexico was dancing
at the Corona Club after the
rodeo in Del Rio. The walls of
the club are a shrine to Mack
Altizer and Bad Company
Rodeo. People went there in
the same manner as going to
a night club anywhere. Like-
wise, there were high school
kids from Del Rio, Uvalde,
and all along the border that
felt safe going to Acuna. Now
that has all changed.
Young: Yes, it was part of
our lifestyle. I grew up in
Del Rio and crossing the Rio
Grande was no different than
crossing any other river. It
was like going to a little Las
Vegas. You could hardly walk
down the street. Nowadays,
the young crowd is gone and
the only folks you see on Fri-
day and Saturday nights are
the older crowd that have
been going there all their
lives and will not be dissuad-
ed by bad press or bad hype.
Yes, its a different country
with different laws, but its
also a country filled with en-
trepreneurs and good people.
Brune: To me the big-
gest loss is sharing cultures.
You mentioned college stu-
dents. Ive met Mexican col-
lege students that attended
universities in Mexico City
and Monterrey. Tere was
little diference in visiting with
them than if I was visiting
with a student from Rice, Tex-
as, or Texas A&M. Te young
Mexican men were extremely
well mannered, articulate, and
focused on their futures.
Tere are also many dual-
citizens. It has always been
possible to be a citizen of both
the U.S. and Mexico. And
there are folks that have
businesses in both coun-
tries, or live in the U.S.
while their business is in
Acuna.
Brune: Another false idea
about Mexico is that the
desert is always dry, but
yall have gotten some rain
lately. And I heard the Pecos
River was running hard.
Young: People must ap-
preciate the beauty that is
in the desert, and yes, the
plants bloom and provide
excellent forage for the gi-
ant free-roaming whitetail
deer that we hunt. Most
recently, the mountains in
Mexico got 13 inches of
rain and the great arroyos
that feed Lake Amistad
were running full. Then on
the Texas side, there was a
wall of water 33 feet high
that came down the Pecos
River. The lake was very
low and we gained between
a four and five foot rise on
the lake.
There are many false
perceptions about Mexico
and bad publicity seems
to feed upon itself. Many
of the hunting concessions
from the U.S. that operated
in Mexico have packed it
home. Im one of the few
left and Ive been running
the hunting concession for
more than 20 years and also
have some manufacturing
business in Mexico.
It would be completely
ignorant to ignore what is
going on there. It is a so-
cialist third world country.
But you and I know that
the people you see on the
news are not the people
we dealt with in Mexico.
That is the true shame. We
dealt with business people
and we worked with hon-
est hard working folks on
the ranches. The folks we
came in contact with are the
salt of the earth. And there
is no decent reason for our
countries to allow politics
or crime to divide the good
people in Mexico from the
good people in the U.S.
Growing old is mandatory;
growing up is optional.
Chili Davis
Some would say its a
shame. A damn shame.
What?
Tat Im not in the least
embarrassed that Ive pos-
sessed the ability to age so
gracefully.
And I have, so Ill boast
about the fact. Tat Im as
chipper and as busy as a
cool cat on a marble-topped
table. And that I just keep on
agoin down the road like a
pay train passing a tramp.
Yep, thats me. In a cap-
sule. At the pickin ripe age
of 70 years. In my debut
year as a septuagenarian, I
pay the birthdays no-never-
mind in this stage and phase
of my lustful living.
Nosiree.
Now I know quite a few
folks 30 and 40 and even 50
years younger than me that
take to the sedentary life-
style. One fellow I know that
is in his 30s moves about
slower than a turtle in a bar-
rel of molasses.
Why I could suck butter-
milk through a straw faster
than he can get from the
couch to the beer-crisper to
fetch a cold one.
Surely youve been ex-
posed to the types that I have
termed the Type A person-
ality. With the A standing
for Alibi.
Teyre the ones that
spend half their lives telling
what theyre going to do,
and the other half explaining
why they didnt do it.
And for exercise they
watch Texas Hold Em Pok-
er on ESPN. Because theyd
get winded playing Check-
ers. Collectively, theyre
about as active as an oyster
on the beach in August.
As expressed earlier, I
have grown through the
years agreeably with my (not
contending it is buf) body.
At 70 years old I still have
(in the main) a full head of
hair. Yet to turn color. Or to
recede. And my eyesight is
taken care of with the utili-
zation of contact lenses. Al-
beit I will allow I am having
cataract surgery in a couple
of months.
Im not pureeing my meat
dishes and Im still chewing
up beef jerky with the ease
of a baby sucking down a
teaspoon of Gerbers banana
pudding.
Now I will admit to hav-
ing a few spider veins there
providing the color on my
cheeks. And the belly is a
bit over the belt loops. Just a
touch of crows feet is around
the eyes and there is a sem-
blance of a turkey throat
starting to show.
And because of high
blood pressure and sufering
from A-Fib, it appears that
at times Im talking more to
my druggist these days than
to my bartender.
But Im ambulatory and
Ive got a heart, except for the
irregular rhythm, as sound
as cabbage. So my doctor of
internal medicine tells me at
six-month intervals.
A morning ritual is tak-
ing a brisk walk with the
dogs two border collies,
a Lhasa apso and a Boston
terrier. It keeps the canines
content and my weight at the
155-pound range.
Apt to be out and about at
any given time on my mo-
torcycle. An activity I put a
lot of stock in.
In the late afernoons Im
apt to be outdoors doing
outdoorsy things. Mowing
with a push mower or driv-
ing a tractor or other mun-
dane chores.
Yep, I break a sweat. Id
rather do that than lounge
around in an air-condi-
tioned parlor.
Okay. I will admit to sit-
ting down on occasion by
the frog pond that I call Lake
Miller Lite and popping a
top. Or two. Or three. Cast-
ing a fshing line and my
cares to the wind.
Anyway, whippersnap-
pers and adolescents and
teens and young adults will
make fun of folks my age.
Calling us Old Fogies and
Gramps in a derogatory
tone. Well, in the coming
decades, if fate allows, theyll
progress to our level of liv-
ing. Ten they just may have
to confess to the knowledge
that when it comes to old
age, theres not much of a fu-
ture in it.
But my lifes been grand.
Im 70 and that puts me in
with the geriatrics. But, in
hindsight, if theyd been 15
months in every year, why,
Id only be in my mid-50s.
I read somewhere once
upon a time that to rest is to
rust.
And I cotton to the con-
tention.
Tats why, with the good
Lords blessing and a breath
of life still in the cancer-
damaged lung, I want to
keep on trucking and trac-
toring it down the road
because from the rocking
of the cradle to the riding in
the hearse I know all too well
that no one cheers his own
birth, and no one mourns
his own death.

We could do that out of fund balance
(budget), he said, adding that the cost of
such a facility would be in the $250,000
range rather than the $7-10 million price-
tag originally envisioned for a multi-pur-
pose center on the site.
If we put the expo center over there (at
JB Wells), then I think we could downsize
this (civic center) drastically, Councilman
Lorenzo Hernandez said.
Plans initially sited a facility of about
33,000 square feet adjacent to the San-
ta Annas Mound area at JB Wells Park.
Barnes and Parks Director Tim Patek met
last week with ofcials from the Texas
Parks & Wildlife Dept. and the Texas His-
toric Commision to discuss those plans
and got a green light from both agencies
for locating the facility there.
A number of local citizens have contin-
ued to oppose the JB Wells site as the right
spot for a civic center, however, with most
saying they would prefer a location closer
to the historic downtown area.
Barnes ofered a second option: the
city-owned land between First Lutheran
Church and Apache Field. Tere is about
an acre of land adjacent to the Lutheran
Church and Williams Street and another
two and a half acres between Williams and
Tate; he said the city could block of either
or both streets to make it one contiguous
property, then pave the lot at Apache Field
for use as parking.
It would be a tight ft, said architect
Tim Geschiedle, who will be designing the
facility. He said he would conduct a sur-
vey of the proposal to determine if it could
hold the downsized 25,000-30,000 square-
foot facility Council seemed to favor.
During the workshop, Council ofered
several suggestions to help downsize the
facility, including removing some of the
ofce/meeting rooms while concentrating
on maintaining the main room at about
12,000 square feet.
Barnes also ofered the idea that the city
could place the facility on the current City
Hall site, incorporating City Hall into the
facility, but admitted that parking might
become an issue.
As far as Im concerned, dirt is dirt, he
said. You tell us where to put it, and Ill
put it there.
Councilman Clarence Opiela, who is
also the maintenance director for Gonzales
ISD, said that Apache Field is typically used
for about 30 events a year, and the Apache
Field parking area is almost always flled to
overfowing for home games including
many vehicles parked on the lot suggested
by Barnes for the civic center.
Parking is going to be an issue wherever
we go, he said.
However, he said, the school districts
plans would probably eventually free up
the entire Apache Field site.
If we continue to grow, they will build
a new high school on the land the district
just purchased (of Loop 131, north of the
high schools current location), he said.
Tese days, they always build a football
stadium with a track when they build a
new school.
Well, they just got $27 million (bond
issue approved), quipped Councilman
Lorenzo Hernandez. Tat may happen
sooner than you think.
Gescheidle pointed out that placing a
single facility at JB Wells allows room for
growth, while creating two facilities limits
growth potential if the civic center is in the
downtown area.
Te other plan might not have room for
luxuries, he said.
No matter how the facility or facilities
are eventually confgured, no solution will
be completely satisfactory to everyone,
Barnes said.
Tis is a very unenviable position for
Council in that there is no right deci-
sion, Barnes said. No matter what you do,
someones going to be upset.
Obama is doing is Jimmie Carter.
Cruz said the rise of grass roots movements
like the Tea Party organizations presages a sec-
ond Reagan Revolution like that which ush-
ered Ronald Reagan into power.
If you remember, Washington despised Rea-
gan, he noted. Te same thing is happening
again. Te 2014 (election season) is going to be
big, and 2016 is going to be even bigger.
Te senator called the Obama Administra-
tions attempts to unravel the Constitution un-
precedented.
Its almost like theyre going down the Bill
of Rights one by one, he said. I spent the last
week in the Senate Judiciary Committee and you
know what we were debating? Forty-six Demo-
crats have signed on to a bill to give Congress the
authority to regulate your right to free speech.
He said the federal bureaucracy is out of con-
trol on a wide range of issues, from gun control
to privacy.
I was out exercising my Second Amendment
rights earlier today (at Shield Tacticals gun range
in Hallettsville), he said. Here in Texas, gun
control means hitting what youre aiming at.
We have the IRS asking taxpayers, What do
you pray about? Te federal government has no
business asking Americans the content of their
prayers, he said. Te Obama Administration
continues to litigate against the Little Sisters of
the Poor (trying to force that Catholic order to
provide abortions at its charity facilities) I say
if youre suing a bunch of nuns, youre probably
doing something wrong.
Government spying on private citizens has
also reached intolerable levels, he said.
Please leave your cell phones on, he quipped.
I want President Obama to hear every word
were saying.
Worse, he said, the federal government con-
tinues to meddle in areas it has no constitutional
authority to meddle in.
We should repeal every word of Common
Core, he said. Education is too important to
have it governed by a federal bureaucrat. We al-
ready have a common core in this country, its
called the Constitution.
Cruz said the grass roots wave about to engulf
the nation wants to see American leadership re-
stored.
It is a sad, sad thing to see the American
president become a punch line, he said, refr-
ring to recent statements by various global lead-
ers denigating President Obama. Just say Vice
President Joe Biden. You dont need a punch line.
We need to speak out for freedom. America
has a bully pulpit, Cruz said, using the example
of Ronald Reagans famous quote, Mr. Gorbach-
ev, tear down this wall!
We have an American pastor who was build-
ing an orphanage in Iran, Saeed Abadini, who
was sentenced to eight years in prison for the
crime of sharing his Christian faith with others,
the senator said. Our president should stand up
and tell Iran: Let Saeed go.
In the Sudan, we have a young mother, Me-
riam Ibrahim, married to an American who
was sentenced to death. She just gave birth to a
beautiful daughter while wearing leg chains. Her
crime? Loving Jesus Christ. Tey threw out her
sentence, then threw her back in jail Just once,
the American President should have stood up
and told Sudan, Let Meriam go!
Te Senator also touched on government
over-regulation, particularly the Envirionmen-
tal Protection Agencys attempts to curb the
economy in Texas with regulations and rulings
on everything from land use to water rights and
oil production.
Te Obama economic agenda is a failure,
he said. Texas economic success is a great em-
barassment to Democrats. Tis country was
built on robust free enterprise.
He said business over-regulation is strangling
job growth, using the example of his father, who
came to the U.S. as a refugee from Fidel Castros
communist Cuba.
Its people like my Dad was who are being
hurt: teenagers, immigrants, young Hispan-
ics and blacks who are losing their jobs or see-
ing their hours cut back to 28 a week because of
Obamacare, he said. You cant feed your kids on
28 hours a week.
We need fundamental tax reform. We should
abolish the IRS. Every American should be able
to fll out his taxes on a simple postcard, he said.
And we need regulatory reform. We should re-
peal every single word of Obamacare.
Cruz had originally been scheduled as the
keynote speaker for the Republican Women of
Yoakums annual fund-raising dinner last fall,
but turned that engagement over to gubernato-
rial candidate Greg Abbott to stage a flibuster
against raising the nations debt ceiling. He said
he was happy at the chance to make up the date.
(Democrat Senate Majority Leader) Harry
Reid didnt want me to come to Yoakum so bad,
he shut down the government, Cruz joked. I
spent all this week in Washington, D.C., and let
me tell you its nice to be back here in America.
And like any good rock star, Cruz did more
than just play to his fans spending more than
an hour following the event to patiently greet and
pose for photos with hundreds of supporters.

PETITION: Second thoughts
uous to city limits.
Te petition asked the City Council to call
a special election to place the issue before vot-
ers on whether or not to prohibit or nullify
GEDCs purchase of the property from the
city. Doing so would not nullify city ownship
of the site, however: City Council voted to buy
the property in late April from Jon and Kath-
erine Harris and that sale has been fnalized.
City Secretary Kristina Vega was presented
with a petition bearing 455 signatures of regis-
tered voters, City Manager Allen Barnes told
the Council. City Attorney Jackie Williamson
reviewed the petition and said it fell short of
City Charter requirements on two key points:
only 38 of the signatories included their Voter
Registration Numbers, and those compiling
the petition did not include sworn statements
about their participation.
Afer speaking with the Secretary of States
ofce, I have to say its an invalid petition, she
told Council.
Councilman Gary Schroeder said he has
been deluged with personal contacts and
e-mails on the issue and that attention has
caused him to change his heart on the matter.
Tis is the frst time Ive ever seen a petition
go around like that. If I had another chance at
voting on it, Id do it diferent, he said. Never
have I been presented with 400 signatures on a
petition, even though theyre invalid, thats still
more than voted in the last city election.
Councilman Clarence Opiela also said he
felt the city had moved too fast. Some of the
e-mails I received afer that made me feel like
a fool, he said.
Te council voted unanimously to reject
the petition over the technicalities, but Wil-
liamson said there remains a time window to
organize a second drive to get the discrepan-
cies corrected.
Steve Hendershot, one of the organizers of
the drive, expressed concern that no public
comment period was included as part of Tues-
days agenda, and he said on Wednesday he is
not certain GEDC has ever ofcially published
a notifcation of its intent to purchase the land.
Te GEDC Board of Directors approved
that purchase in May, but to date no such noti-
fcation has been published in Te Cannon as
the newspaper of record for the City of Gon-
zales.
City Council voted several weeks ago
to instead pass that along to the customer.
Te adjustment from LCRA is based on the
utility services prior estimate of the cost of
electricity and in many cases, the adjust-
ment customers will see lowers their bill.
We pass along the savings or the in-
crease to the citizens, he said. Ive got one
bill here for a four-family residence, under
the old system their bill was $71.15, with
the adjustment its $68.51.
Te adjustments wont dramatically in-
crease or decrease bills, and when a cus-
tomer uses more electricity, their bill will
naturally go up.
Mayor Mike Hendricks and several
Council members noted they have been
receiving phone calls from residents won-
dering about the adjustment line, and there
was even a social-media post claiming the
charge was to pay for the (Watermelon)
Tump.
A grinning Police Chief Bill Sala added
that his department has also gotten calls
wondering what kind of fraud the city was
up to now.
During Tuesdays meeting, Council gave
preliminary approval for Mayo to sign an
interlocal agreement with the Texas Rev-
enue Recovery Association which will help
the city recoup losses from utility bills lef
unpaid when residents leave town.
Te TRRA is a cooperative of a num-
ber of cities which share data on utility
defaults. New utility customers who have
existing bills in another member munici-
pality must frst settle that debt before they
can get service in the new location, with a
portion of that settled bill going to the col-
lecting agency.
Well be able to recover a lot of our own
money, noted Ward 2 Councilman John
Wells.
At present, Gonzales is the only other
city in the area which is part of the pro-
gram, but Mayo noted the cost for mem-
bership in the co-op is relatively inexpen-
sive and the city could recoup funds for the
membership to more than pay for itself.
Council is expected to consider a resolu-
tion formally joining the co-op at its next
meeting.
In other action Tursday, Council:
Approved the proposed 2014 Caldwell
County Appraisal District and Collection
Budget and Guadalupe County Appraisal
District and Collection Budget;
Authorized the city manager to sign a
master service agreement with TRC Engi-

LULING: City plans to join
bill recovery co-op program
I suppose I should begin by
briefy explaining the strange
sounding headline of this article.
Tere are many things the Chris-
tian will enjoy forever and ever
vast spiritual riches promised as
our eternal inheritance. Tese
eternal riches in Christ will ulti-
mately be ours because of what
Christ accomplished through His
sinless life, death, resurrection,
and exaltation as Lord over all.
While these things are certain, we
do not yet enjoy the full beneft of
these blessings; we must wait in
certainty. A number of Biblical
passages will prove helpful.
We will begin with Ephesians
1:13-14, In Him you also trusted
afer you heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation; in
whom also, having believed, you
were sealed with the Holy Spirit
of promise, who is the guaran-
tee of our inheritance until the
redemption of the purchased
possession, to the praise of His
glory. If you are a Christian, you
are forever sealed by the Spirit of
God. Te Holy Spirit is the guar-
antee, which comes from a word
that actually means the earnest,
pledge, or down payment assur-
ing every Believer that we will in
fact receive the full and promised
possession. Please note: Te
greatest of our inheritance is the
ability to live forever fully to the
praise of His glory. Continuing
in the same vain of thought, we
fnd this in Romans 8:23-25, We
also have the frst fruits of the
Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, eagerly waiting
for the adoption, the redemption
of our body. For we are saved in
this hope, but hope that is seen is
not hope; for why does one still
hope for what he sees? But if we
hope for what we do not see, we
eagerly wait for it with perse-
verance. Notice the emphasis
on waiting in hope. We wait,
though we have already received
the frst fruits of the Spirit. Te
frst fruits were brought in with
the confdence that the rest of the
harvest would come.
We can approach this Biblical
truth in this way. I have tasted
a measure of victory over sin. I
know a small measure of what it
will be like when I enter into glo-
ry forever free of sin. But that has
not yet happened. I have also ex-
perienced a measure of joy. How-
ever, in this life joy is intermin-
gled with sorrow and tears. Not
until I enter into glory will God
wipe away all tears from my eyes.
(Revelation 21:4) I know what it
is to be caught up in the wonder
of praise and worship. Yet my
worship is not perfect. Only in
the life to come will I join the vast
host of heaven in the perfection of
beauty and praise. By Gods grace
I am learning to enjoy a certain
amount of victory over Satan and
his wicked schemes. As James
1:7 says, I must Submit to God
and resist the devil, that he might
fee. But I wait for a day when
the arch enemy of God is cast into
the lake of fre forever and ever.
(Revelation 21:10) I know the re-
lief of having my body strength-
ened and healed by the mercy
and grace of God. But contrary
to what some teach, I will not
know perfect health in this life.
I wait for the redemption of the
body. (Romans 8:23) When He
comes in glory, then the dead
will be raised incorruptible, and
we shall be changed. (I Corinthi-
ans 15:52)
Tis is what is meant by living
in the already, but not yet. Vast
eternal riches are already secured
for every follower of Christ. We
wait for the full and perfect man-
ifestation of these things. When
someone describes the Christian
life as freedom from things like
sin and sickness, just know this:
What they have really described
is our eternal inheritance in
glory. Tey missed the not yet
part. As the beloved hymn says,
Oh, what a foretaste of glory di-
vine! Blessings to you.

Market Report
Cuero Livestock Market Report
on July 11, 2014, had 1,246 head.
Had 140 cows and 21 bulls. Te
packer market was much higher
than it has ever been. Te high level
in fat cattle prices and a shortage of
packer animals is driving this mar-
ket to unseen highs. Prices were up
as much as $15/cwt over previous
weeks..
Te calf market was steady to a
little weaker in some classes. Tis
was not totally unexpected as a
strong run of weeks with higher
prices each week had to come to an
end. Tis week the market is good
just not great. Te fat market hit a
peak and has settled back a little so
that is a sign that price advances
have to stop.

PBR: Blanco claims crown

dashed across the arena to
present the trophy buckle
as a gif to his toddler son.
I said I would give it
to him if I won, Blanco
grinned.
2012 Gonzales PBR win-
ner Cody Johnson fnished
second by covering his
fourth bull of the competi-
tion, Ferguson Ranch/Billy
Jones Buckshot, for an
84.5 score Saturday.
Guthrie Long turned in
Fridays top score with an
83 and fnished with the
third-place money.
Rounding out the top
six fnishers were Mexicos
Luis Villareal with an 82.5,
Spearmans Dakota Cator
with an 82 and East Ber-
nards Bryan Titman with
a 74.
Tis years event fea-
tured two Gonzales riders
as well.
Zach Miles opened Sat-
urdays go-round by almost
reaching the eight-second
buzzer on Rebelution
from Ravenscrof/Leslie
Walter/Boyd-Floyd. Te
near-ride earned him a
spot in the fnals, but he
couldnt fnish in the mon-
ey.
Russell Schnitz, a GHS
and Nixon-Smiley prod-
uct, also had two chances
but couldnt cover either
one, and sufered a near-
knockout blow when
Twin Mountain Bucking
Bulls Hair Trigger went
high out of the chute and
banged his riders head
against the chute.
Twenty percent of the
money collected from the
Calcutta on Tursday, July
10 at the Running M Bar
& Grill was donated to
Normas House. Marlene
Metzger won the Calcutta,
then graciously donated
back all her winnings to
Normas House, to make
the Grand Total of $8,459.
We are happy to be able
to help out such a great or-
ganization and have them
help out with our event,
said Bo Davis, president
of DVS Productions. We
look forward to seeing ev-
eryone back in 2015 for a
bigger and better event!
Te PBR Rider Cup Golf
Tournament also raised

I think the Brother-
hood Scholarship BBQ
was a success. That
chicken really was good.
I think a lot of people
would have bought extra
chicken because it was
just so good and they
were in the mood for
BBQ chicken. However
you never know how to
calculate these things. I
think that they came out
just about right. In the
silent auction part Mrs.
Lois Willmanns beau-
tiful and tasty Coconut
Cake brought $300.00.
They had Esther Linde-
manns lemon pie and
John Raekes apple pie
and I cant name all the
other things. Thanks to
everyone for coming out
and supporting our new-
ly named L. A. Linde-
mann Scholarship Fund.
L. A. supported this and
worked so hard for it that
the Brotherhood decided
to honor him in this way.

They had a bad house
fire in Gonzales where
little Ryan who is middle
school age got burned
and got burned down in
his lungs. He spent sev-
eral days in the hospital
but is now out of the hos-
pital. Their whole house
burned and it was sup-
posed started outside by
someone shooting fire-
crackers but is still under
investigation.
David ONeal lost his
battle with cancer this
last week. David seemed
to be well liked by every-
one, kinfolks and friends
alike. It seems he played
dominoes or forty two
or helped someone with
this or that. Or they went
over and visited and
laughed and talked with
David. I guess what I am
saying is that everyone
has good memories of
their times with David.
People in the last stages
of his life went to see
him and helped him in
any way that they could.
David will be missed by
a lot of people. He was
just sort of a steady rock.
And so we pray for those
that are left that are
mourning the loss of Da-
vid ONeal.
We also received word
that Henry Froehner
passed away. Henry is the
son of Edwin and Ger-
trude Froehner. Henry
lived in Houston, TX and
came back to visit every
one in Cost. He always
enjoyed his visits back
home and had bought
the Paul Muenzler house
so that he would have
a place to stay. Several
years he had a really
good garden.
Cold fronts in July.
What an interesting
weather pattern we are
having here. We have
had one little shower of
rain and a little thunder.
Now I see another show-
er building up to our
South. I cannot count
on these showers to the
South. They usually stop
in Leesville. By the time
they get through dousing
Leesville they sometimes
forget that they are sup-
posed to keep coming
northward.
I am happy to tell you
that Scooter is doing
double duty today. He
doesnt like the thunder
so he barks at it. Then
Will is moving things
around outside and tak-
ing things from here to
there and came in with
the lawn chair pillow.
Scooter was going to at-
tack that pillow big time.
It took him an hour to
settle down. That hound
dog bark will get any-
thing roused up. The cats
ran under the bed and I
almost followed them.
Have a good week, and
Pray for rain. The ground
is dry. God Bless.
LULING The
Caldwell County Genea-
logical and Historical So-
ciety will present a special
program covering the life
of Susanna Dickinson at
6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5
at the Parish Hall of (Epis-
copal) Church of the An-
nunciation, 301 S. Walnut
in Luling.
Arguably, Susanna
Dickinson stands as
Caldwell Countys greatest
woman in history. From
her early immigration to
her later move from Lock-
hart to Austin, her noteri-
ety began as Messenger of
the Alamo and concluded
as a woman of promi-
nence in the Capital City.
In between, her tumul-
tuous life is a testament to
the courageous perserver-
ance of women who do
whatever it takes to sur-
vive and preserve their
families.
Author/Historian/Texas
Archivist Donaly E. Brice
will discuss this impor-
tant historical figure. He
is joined by songwriter
Fletcher Clark (also of
Lockhart) who will pres-
ent his epic ballad, There
Must Be a Good Man in
Texas. Reprising a pro-
gram they presented in
February for Susannas
200th birthday celebra-
tion by the Friends of the
O. Henry and Susanna
Dickinson Museum in
Austin, the evening blends
academic and folk history
and art.

Some folks and, apparently, some bulls will
do anything to get their picture in the paper: the
immortal Leon Cofee (above left) kept the crowd
entertained with humor as handlers tried to keep
Pearl Harbor from climbing into the arena on
his own. Saturday was a tough evening for a lot of
riders (clockwise from above right): John Hernald,
Simao Da Silva, Gonzales Zach Miles, Cody Johnson,
Scooter Rigo and Troy Garcia.

I have been a hardcore
soccer fan and a passionate
supporter of the US Soccer
Women and Mens teams
for going on a decade.
I have never had this
much fun watching a
World Cup as I have the
2014 Mens World Cup in
Brazil.
In this World Cup, the
USA Men fnished second
in the Group of Death
with Ghana, Portugal and
Germany to get four of
possible nine points with
a win, tie and loss, respec-
tively.
I watched every second
of the three group games
and the Round of 16 heart-
breaker loss to Belgium
in extra time 2-1 (Tank
God for Julian Green and
Chris Wondolowski, I do
forgive you for missing
what could have been the
game-winner in regulation
game) and I did not have
cable TV during the USA
games. I was able to watch
the games at a very posh
movie theater in north-
west San Antonio with
several hundred of my fel-
low USA fans, with the oc-
casional Ghana, Belgium
or Portugal fan as well.
In the particular audito-
rium I was in, there were
drums and chanting and
singing, things you would
only experience at the
game itself in person. Be-
fore the game, we would
all stand and sing the Star
Spangled Banner.
We would sit down as
soon as the game started
and would always stand
to our feet (well, most of
us anyway) when the USA
center forward played a di-
agonal ball towards open
space near the corner fag
for the outside midfelder
or right/lef back to run on
to, or when a midfelder or
forward dribbled close to
or into the penalty area to
power up a shot.
And we all groaned
when the shot was par-
ried away or put wide. Es-
pecially if was in the 80th
minute of the Germany
game or the 76th minute
of the Round of 16 clash
with Belgium.
And more groans,
screams of What are you
doing and other vocal ex-
pressions I cannot elabo-
rate on whenever Michael
Bradley had an unlucky
giveaway or grievous deci-
sion by the referee.
I think we all were sur-
prised by Texas-born-and-
bred Clint Dempsey when
he scored about 34 or 35
seconds literally in the
must-win against Ghana.
I am sure some of the fans
had probably just settled
into their seats. We all for-
got the moans afer Gha-
nas equalizer when sub
John Brooks headed in the
Graham Zusi corner kick
for the game-winner.
All of the players who
were center backs for their
respective adult teams
could have given a little
advice to Geof Cameron
as his clearance early in
the game against Portugal
which practically dropped
in front of Nani, who
slotted it to put Portugal
ahead 1-0.
We all marveled at Jer-
maine Jones cracker of a
shot that tied the game as
well and Dempsey taking a
ball of the chest and scor-
ing to put the US ahead
2-1, and getting the USA
within 30 seconds of qual-
ifying for the knockout
round afer two matches
(Tanks Cristiano Ron-
aldo for that nice cross
in the freaking 95th min-
ute to help draw Portugal
level).
We all held mostly posi-
tive feelings as the USA
took on Germany and held
them of the score sheet
until the 71st, 20- or 25-
yard blast from Tomas
Muller.
Portugals concurrent
2-1 win (thank you Ron-
aldo) over Ghana allowed
the USA to move on due
to the fact that we both
had four points (three for
a win, one for a tie, zero for
a loss) but because of their
4-0 loss to Germany, Por-
tugal fnished the group
stage with seven goals al-
lowed and four scored,
putting their diferential in
goals at a minus-three and
the USA at zero (four al-
lowed, four scored), giving
us the tiebreaker. Critics
expected the USA to not
make it from the Group
of Death, but our fghting
spirit proved otherwise
Our World Cup ended
in the Round of 16 against
Belgium but they needed
overtime and could have
been the ones headed
home had Wondos shot
not gone over the cross-
bar and into the nosebleed
seats.
Our World Cup run
concluded with Julian
Green putting the ball
into the back of the net on
practically his frst touch
of the World Cup.
It was a great World
Cup for the USA making
the knockout round for
the second straight World
Cup but even more for the
support of the USA from
the once-every-four-years
fans and the year-around,
every-year fans. On my
Facebook and Twitter
feeds, I read about celeb-
rities and the stars from
other sports, including the
National Football League,
expressing their support
and pride in Team USA.
I saw Facebook friends,
who probably take little
notice of soccer at any giv-
en time, posting about that
awesome Dempsey goal
versus Portugal or about
how athletic Tim Howard
is afer he made like 6,000
saves against Belgium.
Yeah, I know, its the
World Cup but I say to
those fans welcome to
soccer.
My soccer camp this
summer, a planned return
trip to Riverside, Calif.,
ended up turning into a
return to McDaniel Col-
lege in the countryside of
Maryland.
About a week or so be-
fore the McDaniel camp,
I got a call from the camp
director who told me the
California camp was can-
celled because of low sign
up. As soon as I got the
voicemail, I hopped on
the Southwest Airlines
web site and within about
eight minutes, changed my
fights from California to
Maryland.
It was great to reconnect
with old friends from pre-
vious camps on the East
coast to making tons of
new friends as well as the
coaches and staf.
I loved every second
of every minute of every
hour of every day.
Except for the nagging
blisters on the bottom
of my toes that might be
caused by improper/loose
soccer cleats (time to drop
to a 10).
I should look to get that
corrected rather soon.
Okay, that is all I got.
