Three arrested in McMahan slaying
By Kathi Bliss
Editor/POST-REGISTER
On Thursday evening, the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office announced that two arrests had been made,
and a third arrest warrant issued, in the shooting
death of Russell Martens, of Moundville, Ala., who
was found dead in a Caldwell County residence on
Dec. 7. By Friday morning, the third suspect had
turned himself into authorities.
During the course of the investigation, detectives
connected Martens’ murder to a possible burglary or
robbery, and was later connected to the three suspects
after officers from the Lockhart Police Department
made an arrest after a drive-by shooting attempt on
Dec. 7.
According to law enforcement, after Martens’ body
was found in the residence of Virgil Dobbins on Dec.
7. Dobbins said the home had been burglarized, and
several items stolen.
Some of the items taken from the home were collected from the vehicle identified in the drive-by
shooting, which led officers to link the two crimes.
One of the suspects arrested in the drive-by, Pedro
Lucio, 23, later confessed to shooting Martens on
Dec. 6.
The investigation revealed that Lucio, accompanied
by Louis Holt, 25, and Trey Hopes, 20, entered the residence where Martens was staying on J. McHugh
Drive, and during the commission of a robbery at that
residence, Lucio shot and killed Martens.
All three suspects are being held in the Caldwell
County Jail, charged with Capital Murder, with bonds
set at $500,000.

FAMILY LOSES EVERYTHING IN FIRE - A family of five in Caldwell County lost everything, and nearly
lost their lives, when a fire ravaged their single-wide manufactured home off FM 671 on the morning of Dec.
6. The homeowner, Efraim Gutierrez, sustained severe burns and was transported to Brook-Army Medical Center after trying to save his family from the blaze. His daughter, Vanessa, is also being treated at
BAMC for burns, while three children, ages 13, 5, and 3, escaped uninjured and are being cared for by others while the pair recover from their injury. The blaze was thought to be sparked during last weekend’s bitter cold spell by a heater kept on an outdoor porch in an attempt to keep a family dog from freezing.

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) announced this week that the average Unemployment
Insurance (UI) tax rate for all employers will be 1.66
percent for Calendar Year (CY) 2014, down from 1.82
percent in CY 2013. The average tax rate for experience-rated employers is 1.54 percent for CY 2014, and
is down from 1.71 percent in CY 2013. The standard
minimum UI tax rate paid by Texas employers in CY
2014 will be 0.51 percent, which is down from 0.54
percent in CY 2013. These employer-paid UI taxes replenish the Texas Unemployment Compensation
Trust Fund, which provides temporary income for
Texas workers who lose their jobs through no fault of
their own. Lower employer UI tax rates reflect the
continued economic expansion in Texas.
The minimum tax rate is paid by 262,808 employers, which represents 64.7 percent of experience-rated
employers. An experience rating is determined by the
amount of an employer’s taxable wages and the
amount of UI benefits that have been paid to former
employees and charged to the employer’s account for
the last three years. An employer paying the standard
minimum tax will pay $45.90 per employee in CY
2014 compared with $48.60 per employee in CY 2013.
The maximum UI tax rate, paid by 5.4 percent of
Texas employers, will be 7.41 percent.
In setting tax rates for CY 2014, TWC sought to

Lilly celebrates 49 years of giving to children
By Kathi Bliss
Back when she ran the Silver Barn with her husband, Lilly Serna offered keg beer to her customers to
celebrate Christmas.
And then, she realized that Christmas isn’t about
the adults – it’s about the children.
Wit that one thought, nearly 50 years ago, before
her own children were even born, “Miss Lilly” began
a tradition that has resounded with Caldwell County
children for nearly half a century.
Now 82, Lilly continues to host her annual Christmas Party for the Children, which will be held at the
Lions Club on Sunday afternoon. This year, though,
may be one of the last.
“I told my kids, when I get to 50 years, I’m going
to stop and let someone else take over,” Serna said
last week as she wrapped gifts on the pool table in
her bar, Lilly’s, in downtown Lockhart.
Lilly’s Christmas Party for the Children began in
Maxwell, when there was no Lilly’s, there was only
the Silver Barn, which the Serna family ran until the
mid-1990s. At that time, Santa would arrive on a fire
truck, courtesy of the Maxwell Volunteer Fire Department, and every child received three tamales, a
gift, and a bag of candy and fruit.
Although the fire truck is long gone, and Santa’s
face has changed over the years, Lilly still dons her
“Mrs. Santa” costume the Sunday before Christmas,
and hands out gifts and bags of fruit and candy to
community children.
“When we first started, it was because some of
those kids just didn’t have anything,” said Lydia
Serna, Lilly’s daughter who has been a part of the
Christmas Party her whole life. “We have had kids
come from Houston, San Antonio, that their parents
used to come when they were little, and now they
bring their kids to Mom’s Christmas.”
Lilly insists she doesn’t do it all on her own. In fact,
donors offer gifts, money and other support yearround.

Above, children in Maxwell wait at the Silver Barn, the predecessor to Lilly’s Bar, for Santa to arrive at Lilly’s
Annual Christmas Party for the Children. Lilly Serna (below with her family) has been hosting an annual
Christmas party for nearly 50 years.
“If I find something that I can get a good deal in
October, I go ahead and get that, to make sure that
we’re doing what we can do,” Lilly said. “Because
there are a lot of kids that wouldn’t have anything if
we didn’t do this. But I don’t do it by myself. I just
have my name on it, but it’s the whole community
that does this.”
Lydia said her mother’s “heart for children” has
driven the project for years, and is the uniting force
that leads the community to help.
“She’s always said that Christmas should be about
the children,” Lydia said. “So we do this, every year,
and we have the Lions Club that supports us and the
businesses that sponsor the cakes, and the commu-
nity contributes for the
gifts… It’s not just us, not
just our family, like it was
when
it
started.”
In fact, Lydia said, several
times Lilly took money out
of her own pocket to make
sure that children received
gifts at Christmas.
This year, Lilly plans to
distribute more than 1,000
gifts, between her party
and the leftovers that will
be taken to area nursing
homes, hospitals and shelters.
Lilly’s Christmas Party
for the Children will take
place at the Lions Club on
Bufkin Lane, from noon – 2
p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 22.

Flu on the rise in Texas;
DSHS encourages vaccination, prevention
With flu season ramping up in Texas, the Texas
Department of State

multiple parts of the state.
Getting vaccinated is the
best way for people to
protect themselves and
their families from the flu
during the holiday season,
when there is typically an
increase in flu cases.

VA to expand benefits for traumatic brain injury
Some Veterans with traumatic brain
injury (TBI) who are diagnosed with
any of five other ailments will have an
easier path to receive additional disability pay under new regulations developed by the Department of Veterans
Affairs.
The new regulation, which takes effect on Jan. 15, 2014, impacts some Veterans living with TBI who also have
Parkinson’s disease, certain types of dementia,
depression,
unprovoked
seizures or certain diseases of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. “We decide Veterans’ disability
claims based on the best science available,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Eric K. Shinseki. “As scientific knowledge advances, VA will expand its programs to ensure Veterans receive the
care and benefits they’ve earned and
deserve.”
This regulation stems from a report
of the National Academy of Sciences,
Institute of Medicine (IOM) regarding
the association between TBI and the
five diagnosable illnesses. The IOM report, Gulf War and Health, Volume 7:
Long-Term Consequences of Traumatic
Brain Injury, found “sufficient evidence” to link moderate or severe levels
of TBI with the five ailments.
The new regulations, printed in the
Federal Register, say that if certain Veterans with service-connected TBI also
have one of the five illnesses, then the
second illness will also be considered as
service connected for the calculation of
VA disability compensation.
Eligibility for expanded benefits will
depend upon the severity of the TBI
and the time between the injury causing the TBI and the onset of the second
illness. However, Veterans can still file
a claim to establish direct service-connection for these ailments even if they
do not meet the time and severity standards in the new regulation. Veterans who have questions or who
wish to file new disability claims may
use the eBenefits website, available at
www.eBenefits.va.gov/ebenefits.
Servicemembers who are within 180
days of discharge may also file a predischarge claim for TBI online through
the VA-DoD eBenefits portal at
www.eBenefits.va.gov/ebenefits.
The published final rule will be
available Dec. 17 at http://www.regulations.gov.
Information about VA and DoD programs for brain injury and related research is available at www.dvbic.org. Information about VA’s programs
for Gulf War Veterans is available at
www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/gulfwar/hazardous_exposures.asp.
For more information on issues affecting
Caldwell County Veterans, contact Veteran
Services Officer David Francis via telephone at (512) 398-6492. You may also visit
Francis at his office at 405 E. Market St. in
Lockhart, Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m.

Willard Calvin Sharp, Jr.
Willard Calvin Sharp, Jr. was the son
of Willard C. and Edna Catherine
Sharp. The family was originally from
Guadalupe County, but moved to
Maxwell in the late 1920s. Calvin, the
name he went by, was born on July 10,
1923. He had one sibling, older sister
Annie. The 1930 census showed the
family living in Justice Precinct Seven.
Shortly before the 1940 census, Mr. and
Mrs. Sharp moved to Martindale. The
1940 census showed the family living
in Justice Precinct One, and older sister,
Annie, working as a part-time stenographer at a relief office. The family
mailing address was PO Box 42, Martindale. Calvin’s father was a farmer,
but later became a butcher at Herbert
Ewald’s Red and White Grocery Store,
in downtown Maxwell. Calvin attended schools in Maxwell and was in
one of last graduating classes at
Maxwell before consolidation with the
Lockhart school district. According to
Baldwin Fehlis, he was a typical boy of
the era. He and friends spent much
time playing baseball and swimming in
the Dry Branch. Annie married Baldwin’s older brother Harold around
1940.
After high school, Calvin enrolled at
Southwest Texas State Teachers’ College (Texas State University). The 1942
yearbook, the Pedagog, shows a handsome young freshman. He completed
almost two years of college courses.
Calvin enlisted in the United States
Army Air Corps on Feb. 23, 1943. For
primary training he became part of
Class 44-F, at Majors Field in
Greenville, Texas. He flew the very forgiving Fairchild PT-19. He received his
commission and wings. He transitioned to multi-engine aircraft at Ellington Field outside of Houston,
beginning in April, 1944. In July of
1944, after training on multi-engine aircraft, he was sent to Liberal, Kansas for
training as a pilot on the huge and
cumbersome B-24 bomber.
His last training stop before overseas
duty was at Muroc, Calif., where he
and his newly assigned crew trained
together in B-24 Liberators. Calvin received leave, and came home to Martindale in late March, 1945. Then he
and his crew flew to Hawaii, where
they trained and awaited orders.
He was assigned to the 98th Bombardment Squadron of the 11th Bombardment Group (Heavy). The 11th
was the only bomb group that was in
existence in the Pacific at the beginning
of the war. Its units were stationed at
Hickam Field, Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941.
The Grey Geese, as they were called
had a motto reflective of that unit’s
long service: “One Damn Island After
Another.”

BY DOROTHY TAYLOR
childhood. Sooooo…
here goes! The darkness arrived as Boob and I slept in the
haunted room of the ol’ farmhouse. If
anything bad was going to happen it
would be during the times we used that
room for our room. It was our summer
sleeping room because of the cross ventilation. (In the winter we had a room
on the opposite side of the house.)
Country nights could be absolutely
dark! Soooo, imagine the commotion
when a sudden bring light strikes you
in the face in what was a dark haunted
room! Imagine hearing the words, “Firrrrreeeeee” yelled out by someone in a
room nearby!
It was Boob who kept me from total
panic! Our room lit up like day as I sat
up in bed and screamed, “The house is
on fire!” Boob reached for me and very
calmly declared, “NO! It’s the barn!”
We ran from the room and met Mom
on the front porch. She was calmly
standing there in her night clothes as
she reached to stop us from going any
further. We could see Dad’s backside as
he rushed towards the barn’s outside
stalls. He quickly opened the stall doors
in order to allow the horses to get out
and run for the pasture. He was too late
to reach the small calves that were
trapped inside the barn. Eventually,
Dad left the blazing inferno and headed
back for the house.
By that time, some of the nearby
neighbors had reached our place and
drove hurriedly into the yard! They
could immediately demise that the fire
was too far gone to make any attempt
at fighting the flames.
The fire totally destroyed the barn,
the small calves, and all of Dad’s tools
and farming equipment that he had in
the storage unit in the barn. The corn in
the corn crib, the oats, and the hay in
the loft had all become a thing of the
past.
The neighbors and my family sat on
the porch and watched as the scorching
flames made ashes out of the barn. It always amazed me that the fiery flames
could awaken folks for miles and miles.
Perhaps it was the extreme light that the
monstrous fire provided for the countryside.
That barn had been a huge playhouse for us, our friends, and our city
cousins. It had been a nesting place for
hens that wanted absolute secrecy with
their egg laying. It had served our family well for a number of years.
After the ashes cooled, Dad built another barn.
Although it was an evening we didn’t care to experience ever again it gave
plenty of fuel for future jokes and
laughter. After all, it was our first time
ever to see our Dad clad only in his underwear and barefooted rushing
around in the great outdoors.
James 3:5 “Even so the tongue is a
little member, and boasteth great
things, Behold, how great a matter a
little fire kindleth!”

S HARP
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4A
He died barely three
weeks after the war in the
Pacific ended. At 7:15
a.m. on Sept. 10, 1945, he
and the other four men in
his crew lifted a B-24J (Serial Number 44-40491,
nicknamed
“Ginny”)
from Yontan Airbase, Okinawa bound for Manila.
“Ginny” was part of an
eleven-plane mercy mission returning liberated
American and British
prisoners of war (many
captured at Hong Kong
in December of 1941)
from the hell of Japanese
prison camps. A navigator on another plane in
the squadron told the
story of what happened
in a letter to his parents in
December of 1946:
“My crew, Sharp’s crew,
and nine other crews were
loaded up early the morning
of Sept. 10; the weather report looked good but as you
know in the Pacific the
weather changed pretty rabidly. We were about an hour
out and insight of other
planes when we ran into a
typhoon. We altered course
and headed for the coast of
China to try to circumnavigate the storm. We were on
instruments for about two
hours, finally broke out 50
miles north of Formosa. All
ships were accounted for except Sharp’s. We reported
the missing ship, but had
hopes that it had been too
rough for them and they had
turned back to Okinawa.
The next day a searching
party was sent over the
route that the majority of
our planes ended on, and
about 8,000 feet up the slope
of the highest peak on Formosa which about [1]2,000
feet high, they sighted the
wreckage of what they believed to be Sharp’s ship. A
check was made with the
Air-Sea Rescue and there
had been no wreckage reported on that slope before.
There was the report of no
sign of life or a possible
chance of anyone surviving
the crash.
I have seen the slope and
there is no possible chance of
anyone ascending. It is very
heavy with foliage, and from
what I could find out, to this
day, no white man has ever
been in those parts.
I knew Sharp very well;
also his navigator Hurley,
who was ill the day of the
flight and did not go. The
radar man Arden Daust [actually 2nd Lt. Arden Darrel
Daoust], took over as navigator. He had never acted as
navigator in those parts before, and it is believed that
he neglected to see the indication on the charts or maps
used of a high peak on Formosa. Our flight altitude
was about 8,000 feet and
that was the estimated altitude of the wreckage.
It is quite possible, and I
sincerely believe that this is
what happened: due to the
fact that we were on instruments and broke out north of
Formosa, Arden drew his
course to Formosa instead of
the coast of China, and while
flying on instruments they
flew into the mountain
without ever seeing it. I was
a navigator and I can understand how easily a thing
like that could happen.
Eaden’s crew was also on the
flight that day and his navigator (experienced as he
was) nearly hit the peak on
Formosa too.
I knew Sharp well. Our
crew was close to Sharp’s
crew, for we had gone
through Muroc, California
[now Edwards AFB] flight
training together. We went
overseas with Sharp’s crew;
they stayed at Barking
Sands [Hawaii], and went
on out to the combat zone.
Just a few days before the
end of the war Sharp and
crew came on out and joined
our squadron. Sharp and
crew and ours went the last
mission our crew flew in the
war- that was a reconnaissance mission over Shanghai and other parts of China.
The letter writer didn’t
tell Mr. and Mrs. Sharp
what the planes were
loaded with. That was
classified. The Missing
Air Crew Report (MACR
14973) was not declassified until 1982. The report
is cursory. No investigation was ordered. In 1947,
the mother and father of
Calvin’s co-pilot, Flight
Officer
George
Mortensen, travelled over
8,000 miles visited the
families of other crewmen,
including
the
Sharps. I am sure they
were trying to put closure
on a puzzling event.
For want of a good
navigator, an entire
bomber crew and twenty
liberated POWs were lost
to the rugged terrain of

People should talk to
their
health
care
provider about the best
type of flu vaccine for
them. A nasal spray version is available for
healthy people ages 2 49 who are not pregnant,
and a high-dose vaccine
is approved for people
65 and older.
Flu is a serious dis-
ease that kills an average
of 23,600 Americans a
year, according to estimates from the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention. People over
65, pregnant women,
young children and people with chronic health
conditions are most at
risk for complications, so
it’s especially important
for them to be vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated is
the best way to stop the
spread of the flu. Additionally, cover all coughs
and sneezes, wash hands
frequently with soap and
water or use hand sanitizer, and stay home if
sick.

Luling hospital wins awards for excellence, patient satisfaction
Seton Edgar B. Davis Hospital in Luling has been
named a HealthStrong Award winner for Excellence
in Patient Satisfaction and Excellence in Patient Quality by iVantage Health Analytics, ranking the hospital
as one of the top acute care hospitals in the nation.
The Healthstrong Awards are based on The Hospital Strength Index, a national ratings program developed by iVantage Health Analytics to recognize the
top performing hospitals across the country. More
than 4,400 general acute care hospitals, including
more than 1,300 rural and critical access hospitals, are
considered.
“The HealthStrong awards reflect Seton’s commitment to providing holistic, patient-centric care for
every Central Texan,” said Apryl Haynes, Seton Edgar
B. Davis’ vice president and chief operating officer.
“To meet the health care needs of Central Texas’ rapidly growing population, it’s essential that Seton’s
rural hospitals provide the same access to high-quality care as its urban counterparts.”
The Hospital Strength Index measures hospital performance across 56 key metrics in eight categories and
are based on publicly available data sources, includ-
ing Medicare cost reports, Medicare claims data and
hospital comparison quality reporting.
Seton Edgar B. Davis Hospital provides inpatient
and outpatient services for residents of Caldwell
County and surrounding counties, including 24-hour
emergency services, comprehensive diagnostic and
treatment services, health education services and
wellness programs. The hospital was also named a
Top Rural Critical Access Hospital by the National
Rural Health Association in 2012.

I love being a kid because I do great in school
and I am great at legos
too. But when I grow up I
am still gonna play legos.
One word that describes
me would be... loving
God and Jesus. The best
thing God has done for
me is make food...especially cauliflower.
My happiest memory
is playing Minecraft....I

Green Group Holdings adds local
leadership to 130 Environmental Park Team
Alfonso Sifuentes joins firm to expand public outreach
efforts related to 130 Environmental Park
Green Group Holdings,
LLC has hired Alfonso (Al)
Sifuentes of Lockhart to
expand the company’s public outreach efforts for 130
Environmental Park, a
mixed-use development
project that will include a
landfill, a facility for processing recyclable materials, and an industrial park.
“We’re thrilled to have Al
Sifuentes bring his firsthand knowledge of the
local Caldwell County
community and extensive
project management experience to 130 Environmental Park,” said Ernest
Kaufmann, president of
Green Group Holdings,
LLC. “Al is a great addition to our team, which has
been working hard to keep
the local community informed about the project’s
design and progress.” Sifuentes
joins
Mack
Reynolds, the company’s
other full-time representative in the community, in
the Green Group Holdings
office in Lockhart.
Sifuentes, who is bilingual, will also lead the development’s outreach into
the Spanish-speaking community, noted Kaufmann.
“Green Group Holdings’
track record as good stewards of the environment,
their commitment to transparency, and their efforts to
involve the local community in their developments
attracted me to this position,” said Sifuentes, who
assumed his new position
as Project Manager on December 2. In addition to his
work related to 130 Environmental Park, Sifuentes
will support Green Group
Holdings’ development
projects and operations
around the world.
Sifuentes’ experience includes more than 25 years
of construction and project
management expertise, as
well as small business ownership. Prior to joining
Green Group Holdings, Sifuentes was plant supervisor for Stericycle, Inc. He
is a native of Hays County,
graduated from Lockhart
High School, and currently
resides with his wife and
two children in Lockhart.
The Green Group Holdings’ 130 Environmental
Park represents a multimillion dollar investment in
northern Caldwell County.
The 130 landfill will be a
state-of-the-art, highly-engineered, and environmentally-friendly
waste
management
facility,
planned to provide annual
revenue
to
Caldwell
County in the form of host
fees and taxes, to create
good paying jobs, and to
generate new business opportunities for local contractors
and
service
providers.
130 Environmental Park
will be located east of the
130 Toll Road and north of
FM 1185. The development
of 130 Environmental Park,
which will take approximately four years to complete, will be financed with
private funds, and will not
impose any financial obligations on local governments or taxpayers. Green
Group Holdings, LLC will
design, permit, develop,
and operate 130 Environmental Park.

Pursue your passion in the New Year
In January, the job search websites go crazy as people
start the new year resolved to find work that’s more satisfying.
“While thousands of people are dealing with the
tragedy of unemployment, many others are looking for
jobs that are more fulfilling than the ones they have,”
says attorney and author Pamela Samuels Young,
www.pamelasamuelsyoung.com.
In January 2013, job search website Indeed.com had
a record 17.3 million unique visitors—a 24-percent
jump, and January 2014 will likely see a similar increase.
Many of those job seekers won’t be looking for just a
job, but one they’re passionate about.
“It’s great if your day job is your passion,” Young
says. “But if it’s not, you don’t have to give up a position
that pays the bills in order to pursue your dream. You
can do both.”
Since 2006, Young has pursued her passion—writing
legal thrillers—as well as her day job as Managing
Counsel for Labor and Employment Law for Toyota
Motors Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
“I enjoy practicing law and I didn’t want to leave
Toyota, nor could I afford to. But I also had a burning
desire to write mystery novels,” says Young. She recently released her sixth novel, “Anybody’s Daughter.”
Described by Kirkus Reviews as a "fast-paced, wellwritten thriller that's grounded in social issues," the
book takes readers inside the shocking world of child
sex trafficking in the United States.
“I’ve always believed that if you have a dream, you
should formulate a plan and make it happen. So that’s
what I did.”
Young’s plan included rising at 4 a.m. to squeeze in
some writing time before heading off to work, and turning weekends and vacation time into creation time.
“Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I’ve published
six novels, while still practicing law,” she says. “The
hard work and commitment have definitely paid off.”
Young offers these tips for busy professionals itching
to pursue their own passions.
• Schedule time to devote to your passion. “On
my calendar, you’ll find a few hours or full days
blocked out as ‘Writing Time’ every week,” Young says.
“You have to schedule time for your passion. If you
don’t, the day-to-day demands of life will get in the
way.”
• Put “passion” time ahead of “pleasure” time. If
you’re working full-time and pursuing another “job,”
you won’t have a lot of free time. “You’ll have to cut
back on watching television, socializing with friends
and even family time,” Young says. “Explain your goals
to friends and family. People who have your best interests at heart will support you. “But do take an occasional break to relax. Otherwise, you’ll burn yourself
out by working around the clock.”
• Don’t put your day job on the backburner. Young
says it’s important to give your day job 100 percent. “I
never want my co-workers to think I’m phoning it in
because I also have a writing career.” That attitude has
paid off. “I have a strong support system at work. My
co-workers read my books, critique my manuscripts
and come to book signings.”

The components of the
CY 2014 tax rate are as
follows:
•
The general tax
rate is based on claims
against an employer’s account. If TWC has paid
benefits to former employees who were laid off
or separated through no
fault of their own in the
past three years, then
those employers will pay
a general tax.
•
The replenishment tax rate is charged
to all experience-rated
employers to cover unemployment claims not
charged to a specific employer. This tax tends to
rise following economic
slowdowns when claims
increase and businesses
close.
•
The employment
training assessment is
charged to all employers
who are eligible for a
computed tax rate to finance the Skills Development
Fund.
The
employment training assessment calculation is a
separate line item on the
Employer’s Quarterly Tax
Report.
•
The obligation assessment tax rate is collected to repay bond
obligations. This tax is experience-rated and based
on an employer’s 2013 tax
rate.

Lady Lions learn and grow as District starts
By Kathi Bliss
The Varsity Lady Lions spent the last
week before the start of District play in
preparation mode, participating in tournaments and facing off with strong,
Class 5A teams.
On the weekend of Dec. 6 – 7, the
Lady Lions traveled daily to Navarro
for the Navarro Varsity Tournament.
Despite a rocky beginning, the Lady
Lions split victories at Navarro and
showed they have the spirit to drive
them to the next level during District
play.
In their first game at Navarro, the
Lady Lions fell hard, 74-27 to the Panthers.
Tassandra McClelland picked up
nine points in the standoff, with Cynthia Chavez chipping in four. Deja
Wells, Deanna Quintanilla, Gloria Horton and Raven Smith scored two points
each.
In their second outing, the Lady
Lions faced the Pirates of Centerpoint,
standing their ground better than they
had against Navarro but still falling 6033.
In that game, McClelland had 12
points and seven rebounds. Horton contributed six points and three steals.
Chavez had five points, and Quintanilla, Cristal Trejo, Norma Jaramillo,
Marissa Rodriguez and Brianna Sneed

Congratulations, Student Athletes of the Week!
In a continuing effort
to recognize Lockhart’s
students for their accomplishments on and off the
playing field, the Lockhart Post-Register has
once again teamed with
the LISD Athletic Department to recognize Student Athletes of the
Week. Student Athletes of
the Week are chosen via
nomination from not only
their coaches but their
teachers, and recognized
for their commitments
not only to sport, but to
education and the community.
Congratulations to this
week’s Student Athletes
of the Week.
Rachel Bittner, Senior
“I like participating in
golf because of all the places
we get to play, and because
of the discipline and responsibility it has taught me.”
Lady Lion Senior
Rachel Bittner is a member of the golf team. She
is also active in 4H, her
church and several clubs
in school.
Rachel said she per-
forms best in her Environmental
Science
classes, because the students are able to do
hands-on research and
learn about their direct
impact on the environment. Her involvement in
many clubs leads to a variety of volunteer work
throughout the year. She
said being involved in organizations and volunteerism
feels
good,
because she knows she’s
giving back to her community in many ways.
Rachel says she tries to
have fun during every
match, so that she will
stay motivated and not
get discouraged.
Rachel was nominated
as Student Athlete of the
Week by one of her teachers, Marianne Garcia.
“Rachel is an excellent
student and presently
talking AP level courses
and ACC classes is addition to participating as a
member of the Lady Lion
Golf team,” she said.
“The most amazing thing
about Rachel is that she
usually asks what she is
going to miss when attending a golf tournament so that she can turn
it in when she returns, if
not before she misses
school.”
Garcia said Rachel is a
leader in the classroom,
working with the other
environmental science
students as a team member and group leader in a
quiet, friendly manner.
“She is organized, focused, and always prepared for her classes and
brings the same focus to
her golf team I am sure,”
she said. I know that
Rachel will be soaring to
great heights at the next
level.”
William Hartwick,
Sophomore
“Sports are fun, they
keep me in shape, and I like
physical activities.”
William Hartwick is a
tenth grader on the powerlifting and football
teams. He does not volunteer in the community
at this time, because he is
focused on his sports and
studies.
William said he performs best in his science
classes, because those
will help him in his future career. He stays motivated because he is a
naturally
competitive
person; he likes challenges and enjoys driving
himself to win.
Chemistry
teacher
James Rogers nominated
William as Student Athlete of the Week.
“He is incredibly respectful and helpful in
my chemistry class,”
Rogers said. “He knows
discipline and I can tell
that he genuinely cares
about his fellow peers.
On top of all that, he
strives to make good
grades in his classes.”

student.”
Dezmond Reynero,
Eighth Grade
“I like competing and
trying my best to win.”
Jun Lai, Freshman
“Playing sports is so
much fun, and it’s a way of
meeting new people.”
Jun Lai is a freshman
on the basketball team.
He said that he enjoys
and performs best in his
math class, because it
comes easily for him.
He is not currently
able to volunteer in the
community, but he plans
to begin doing so soon.
Jun said watching
higher levels of basketball motivates him to become a better player
every day.

Dezmond
Reynero is on the Eighth
Grade Basketball Team.
He does not currently
participate in any volunteer activities, and he
feels like he performs
best in his science classes,
because he finds them the
most interesting.
Dezmond says his motivation comes from
wanting to do his best to
help his team get the win.
Dezmond was nominated as Student Athlete
of the Week by Coach
Joseph Alford.
“He has a good attitude and works hard,”
Alford said. “He’s on the
All-A Honor Roll with all
of his grades either 100 or
close to 100. He also plays

grader Jennifer Martinez
is on the basketball, volleyball and track teams,
but she enjoys playing all
sports. She said her math
classes are her favorite,
because math comes easy
for her.
Jennifer is too busy
with sports and school to
volunteer in the community at this point. She said
she stays motivated because she always wants
to try her best, and always wants to learn
more.
“Not only did she
have an outstanding
game this week in basketball, but she exhibited the
characteristics of what it
means to be a true Lady
Lion Athlete,” Coach
Karli Rodriguez said.
“She is honest, loyal,
kind, coachable and
hardworking.”

with Lamar Middle

The Lions started better
this game, but the second
quarter proved to be the
downfall this time for the
Lions, getting outscored
14-6 in the quarter. The
Lions again used their
press to try to rally, but
could not make enough
baskets to finish the
comeback.
“There just seemed to
be a lid on the basket all
game long. We had some
good looks, but the shots
just would not drop,”
Rotzler said. “If not for
layups off of our press, I
don’t think we would
have scored many points
at all.”

game 60-51. The Lions

There was great defense from both teams
and trading of baskets
causing the score to be 76 with the Matadors only
ahead by one. The second
quarter did not look
much different. The halftime score was 20-16 with
Seguin ahead.
The Lady Lions went
2-7 from the free throw
line in the first half and
that was the difference.
The third quarter
Lockhart seemed to have
lost the momentum as

The Lady Lions’ final
game of the difficult Friday evening came against
the Lytle Pirates, who also
defeated the Lady Lions,
but by a narrower 43-26
margin.
Chavez had nine
points in the matchup,
while McClelland had
seven. Sneed contributed
four, and Wells had three.
Jaramillo had two, and
Trejo rounded out scoring
with one.
Both Horton and McClelland took charges on

eight steals. Trejo had
eight points, while Smith

Chavez closed out scoring with two.
“This was a good test
for them to get them mentally and physically ready
for district,” Coach Brittany Wlson said. “They
fought hard even though
they came up short this
time around.”
The Lady Lions had

Glenn Rotzler said. “He
had 12 points in the first
quarter, until we learned
how to position ourselves
defensively to help guard

against the toughest opponent they have seen, or
likely will see this season
in Walsh Middle School.
Outmanned and in
foul trouble early, the
Lions fell behind 29-14 in
the first quarter. The scoring frenzy slowed a little
in the second quarter, but
the Lions were again
outscored 12-5.
“Again, we got some
good looks at the basket
and just couldn’t get the
shots to drop,” Rotzleer
said.
The Lions actually
outscored their opponent
12-9 in the third quarter,
but the short-handed
Lions gave up 22 points
and only scored three in
the final quarter.
“The kids were still
playing hard, but Walsh
was just that good,” Rotzler said. “We definitely
can play better, but I can’t
fault our effort.”
Luke Hippensteel and
Austin Garcia led the
Lions in scoring with 12
and 11 points respectively. Gabriel Franco
added four, Devin Hester,
Gabriel Mcvea and Mateo
Partida added two each
and Logan Schnautz
added one.
On Monday, the Lions
hosted
District
foe
Dahlstrom. The Lions’
shooting woes continued,
but their press again kept
them within striking distance throughout the
game. The Lions trailed
by 10, 28-18 at the half
and lost by a final of 5540.
“Again, I can’t fault
our effort,” Rotzler said.
“Our kids are continuing
to play hard. We just still
have a lot to learn.”
Austin Garcia led the
Lions with 13 points.
Logan Schnautz added
seven, Gabriel McVea, six,
Luke Hippensteel, five,
Devin Hester, four, Dylan
Scheunemann, two, and
Logan Brown and Micah
Jackson scored one each.
The Lions will be off for
the Holidays and return
to action in the New Year.
The Eighth Grade
Lions “B” Team traveled
to San Marcos to face
Goodnight Middle School
on
Thursday,
Dec.
12. Starters for the game
were Brandon Hernandez, Dezmond Reynero,
Wayne Lai, Abel Alvarado and Mateo Partida. Unfortunately for the
Lions, the shooters for
Goodnight started the
first half on fire. The score
at the half was 37-5 in
favor of Goodnight. The second half for the
Lions, however, was better. In the fourth quarter,
the Lions and Goodnight
tied with eight points
each, making the final
score 53-14.
Scorers for the Lions
were: Brandon Hernandez, Michael Joseph and
Makaleb Brown with
three points each; Skylar
Griffin and Mateo Partida

winning 56-20!
The Lady Lions were
lead by Princess Daniels,
who scored 20 points,
Xavia Thompson with 12
points, and Sydney Shaw,
who added nine. Defensive efforts were led by
Bethany Visage with 10

their district record to 20,” Coach Kayla Norris
said.
On Monday, the Lady

to take on Miller.

victory.
Brandy Garza was
strong on both sides of
the ball, leading her team
offensively and defensively. Charisma Magallanez was also a leader on

Give the gift of a good night’s sleep
Give Your Kids the
Gift of a Good Night
Sleep This Holiday Season
When your children
have trouble sleeping at
night it can be just as tiring for you as for your little ones. And no matter
what the source of the
issue is, a full night’s
sleep is important for
everybody’s physical and
mental health.
But during the busy
holiday season, unpredictable sleeping schedules and big family
gatherings can contribute
to poor sleep. Take steps
to help children rest better at night this season by
trying these sleep tips to
make bedtime easier for
the whole family:
Stay Active
Don’t be afraid to tire
children out! When they
aren’t attending school or
their regular activities,
they aren’t expending as
much energy. During the
winter break, take long
walks or simply visit the
park each day for a game
of tag, catch or a bike
ride.
Keep your kids mentally active, as well. Instead of zoning out in
front of the television, encourage them to read,
write or paint. A full day
of activity means your
children will be ready for
some shut-eye by bedtime.
Mindful Eating
Everyone knows that
caffeine before bedtime is
a no-no. While your children are probably not
coffee drinkers, don’t forget that soda and chocolate contain caffeine too.
While it can be tricky to
mind one’s eating habits
during the holidays, try
to avoid feeding kids sugary or spicy foods before
bedtime, as both can have
a tossing and turning effect.
Glow Pets is they are so
much more than just another stuffed animal,” advises Laurie Schacht, Toy
Insider Mom. “Glow Pets
triple function as nightlight, pillow and friend
making it the perfect addition to a child’s bedroom, particularly for
those kids who have
trouble sleeping.”
For more information,

Rituals
A schedule helps the
body know when to be
alert and when to be
sleepy. Over the holidays,
don’t let kids deviate too
much from their regular
routine.
Nighttime rituals, such
as bedtime reading, can
help create a sleepy mood
at night. Anxieties may
make sleep a troublesome
prospect for some kids, so
another great bedtime ritual is simply spending
time talking with your
kids each night. This
gives them the opportunity to open up and discuss what’s bothering
them.
With a few tricks, you
can make bedtime more
fun for kids.
Brighten Up
For many kids, settling
into bedtime after the excitement of the holidays
can be difficult. Instead of
opting for a standard
nightlight, try a soft and
cuddly option that may
make sleeping fun and
comforting, even in an
unfamiliar place. Conveniently, you can now help
remedy your children’s
sleep issues while traveling during the holidays
with a Glow Pet, a loveable and portable light up
pet pillow.
