Local election results
By Joe Baker
Tuesday night’s election results indicate that change is
the direction chosen by a majority of Karnes County voters in regard to Commissioners Court.
Change will come in January when three new officials
will be seated on Commissioners Court.
Barbara Najvar Shaw won
the Democratic Primary in
the race for county judge with
1,024 votes (50.37%) narrowly
avoiding a run-off.
Incumbent County Judge
Alger Kendall, Jr. had 733
votes (36.06%) and Burt Utley finished with 276 votes
(13.58%).
Gail Tennant won the Republican Primary in the race
for county judge with 342
votes (55.43%) over Clyde
Eckols who had 275 votes
(44.57%).
Shaw and Tennant will
compete against one another in the November general
election in the race for Karnes
County judge.
A.T. “Pete” Jauer won the
Democratic Primary in the
race for county commissioner, pct. 2 with 384 votes
(52.10%) avoiding the necessity of a run-off election.
Incumbent Pct. 2 Commissioner Mike Beam finished
with 165 votes (22.39%), Edwin J. Dziuk had 89 votes
(12.08%), Jude Beaver had 53
votes (7.19%) and Robert Janysek had 46 votes (6.24%).
As no candidates filed for
this position in the Republican Primary, Jauer will run
unopposed in the November
General Election.
Tracey Schendel won the
Democratic Primary in the
race for county commissioner, pct. 4 with 227 votes
(53.41%) over Sharon Chesser
who had 198 votes (46.59%).
Schendel will face Daniel C.
Burris, who ran unopposed
in the Republican Primary, in
the November General Election. Incumbent Pct. 4 Commissioner Isidro “Stormy”
Rossett did not file for re-election.
There was one race in
which voters strongly indicated they did not want change
and that was in the race for
District Clerk.
Incumbent District Clerk
Robbie Shortner won the
Democratic Primary with
1,435 votes (75.13%) over
challenger Rhonda Green
who had 475 votes (24.87%).
As no candidates file for
this position in the Republican Primary, Shortner will
run unopposed in the November General Election.

Quillian
sentenced
for bank
fraud
Moon over Cestohowa
According to a recent report in the San Antonio Express-News, a disbarred lawyer with a practice in Kenedy
was sentenced on Feb. 26 to
35 months in prison and fined
$500,000 for forging a judge’s
signature to get $475,000
from the estate of his aunt.
U.S. District Judge Orlando
Garcia imposed the sentence
on Feb. 26 on Causey C. Quillian III, of Tuleta, who pleaded guilty to bank fraud.
Quillian was appointed
guardian for the estate of Letha Fern Montandon in 1993
and would have inherited
more than $1 million from
the woman, who died Jan. 31,
2009.
But he didn’t wait, and
while guardian, created fake
court orders to release money from the estate and forged
the signature of an Austin
probate judge, court records
show.
Quillian then presented the
fake court orders to banks so
they would transfer money
from Montandon’s estate into
accounts controlled by Quillian.
Quillian told Garcia he
could not recall how he spent
the money.
Quillian lost his law license
as a result of the fraud.

the forecast for this weekend calls for cloudy skies and a slight chance of rain, lows in the upper 50s and highs in
the low 70s.

Grants aimed at
creating ag business
AUSTIN - Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples recently announced the Texas
Agricultural
Finance
Authority (TAFA) has awarded $100,000 in the form of
matching grants to 13 young
farmers who will create or expand agricultural businesses in Texas. The funds are
awarded through the new
Young Farmer Grant Program
to farmers ages 18-46.
“The average age of Texas farmers and ranchers is
increasing,”
Commissioner Staples said. “Nationally,
the number of farmers under age 25 has decreased by
30 percent since 2002. One
reason there are fewer newcomers to production agriculture is because there has
been a lack of user-friendly,
effective financing options.
The Young Farmer Grant Program is aimed at helping new
and young operators become
more firmly established.”
In 2009, the 81st Texas Legislature approved the Texas
Department of Agriculture’s
proposal for TAFA to establish the first-of-its-kind Young
Farmer Grant Program. Since
TAFA’s creation in 1987, the
program has provided financial assistance to individuals
and businesses through partnerships with banks or other
agricultural lending institutions.
For a complete list of award
recipients or more information about the Young Farmer
Grant Program and other TAFA programs, visit www.TexasAgriculture.gov and look

Relay For Life teams needed Wilson County Gardening Day
The American Cancer Society is seeking teams for
the Relay For Life of Karnes
County to join in the fight
against cancer. Relay For
Life is the American Cancer Society’s national signature, overnight fundraising
activity. Teams of eight to 15
members gather with tents
and sleeping bags to participate in the largest fundraising
walk in the nation. Relay For
Life unites friends, families,
businesses, hospitals, schools
and churches…people from
all walks of life. Teams seek
sponsorship prior to the Relay, all with the goal of supporting a cure for cancer.
The 11th Annual American Cancer Society Relay For
Life of Karnes County will
take place May 14-15, 2010 at
Kenedy High School Stadium
in Kenedy. This year’s goal is
to have 30 teams participate.
Seven teams have signed up
so far.
Relay For Life is a fun-filled,
overnight event that mobilizes communities throughout
the country to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones,
and empower others to fight
back against a disease that
takes too much.
“The event raises awareness about the progress
against cancer while also raising funds to fight the disease,”
said Gretchen Dupnik, Team
Development chairman. “Individuals who are willing
to give their time and energy to this exciting community event, as a volunteer or as
a participant, have made a
commitment to fight back
against cancer.”
Team captains have a critical role in the Relay. A Team
Captain’s meeting will be held
on March 8 at 7:00 p.m. at the
Kenedy Dairy Queen meeting
room.

‘Called to a New Day’
Jan Anderson and Joline
Wiley attended the Annual Women’s Conference held
at Highland Lakes Camp &
Conference Center February 26th & 27th. A variety
of workshops and activities
were available to the Conference attendees. Judge Edna
Staudt of Williamson County presented a very informative seminar entitled “Changing Lives Through Friendship
Mentoring,” based on the Justice Court Mentoring Program she developed in 1996.
“He Said . . . She Said” and
“Touching Bases Without
Striking Out,” which dealt
with solving communication
problems between men and
women and between family members, were well attended workshops. The consequences of divorce, serving
those closest to us, being a
good steward of our resources, and raising godly children
to become good citizens were
topics explored in other sessions. A highlight of the Conference was a presentation by
Dr. Rebekah Naylor . Dr. Naylor served as a missionary and
surgeon to India from 1973
until 2009. Assigned to the
Bangalore Baptist Hospital
she was a physician, administrator, educator and church
planter. Currently Dr. Naylor
is Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Texas
Southwestern Medical Center
in Dallas.
The theme of the Conference was “Called To A New
Day,” with II Chronicles 7:14
the chosen scripture verse.
Speaking to the theme each
day and challenging the
women present to make a
difference in their world was
Carolyn Porterfield, Multicultural Consultant of the WMU
of Texas. Leading the women in praise and worship was
Teresa Harmening. Teresa is
a gifted songwriter who puts
scripture to music so that it
can more easily be memorized.
Joseph’s Storehouse, a food
pantry ministry operated
from FBC Granite Shoals, was
the service project of the Conference. A special offering was
taken for this project in addition to the food, toiletry products and infant items brought
by the women in attendance.
Over 2,500 individuals seek
assistance from Joseph’s
Storehouse each month.
Mrs. Anderson and Mrs.
Wiley also attended WMU
mission education training
while at the Conference. At
FBC Kenedy they serve as Director and Associate Director
of the WMU – Woman’s Missionary Union. The mission
of the WMU is to inform and
inspire the Christian woman to influence her world for
Christ.

Letters to the editor
Opinion
It’s great to have a new newspaper
Dear Editor:
How great it is to see another wonderful newspaper here in Karnes County! I
was so glad and excited to see
this after all the unfortunate
things that happened last
month; that God opened the
door of opportunity for you,
Joe to open and be the owner of Karnes County’s newest paper: The Karnes County Times! This is so exciting
to me as I love how you write
and how your sweet wife,
Pam puts things down so fun-
ny that she has all the county
thinking about it and indeed
even my daughter, Julie living
in BC, Canada! As you may remember our daughter Julie
badly wanted a paper to be
sent to her up in Abbotsford,
BC, Canada as she so loved
your wife’s articles! Now that
is possible as she can read all
about it on line at www.karnescountytimes.com!
This
will make her day! Joe thanks
so much for not giving up
but hanging in there when
things looks so bleak. The
Lord always works things out
for good for those who love
Him! Keep up the great work
and I say, way to go, Joe, way
to go! We love you and your
wife and are praying for you
to be mightily used through
the news media to glorify the
Lord in all you do! I am believing that your newspaper
will do better than we can ask
or expect as God is blessing
all your efforts! Keep up the
great work and stay strong in
His grace!
Judy Berry,
Kenedy
Who can we trust?
Editor:
Attn: Karnes County pet
owners. I was looking for a
good home for my pet cat and
decided to call the city to see
what the procedures were to
get her into the shelter there
and adopted out to a good
home. I asked what the procedures were for adoption
and was told that they were
strictly a no kill shelter and after three days, if a home was
not found for my cat, then
she would be sent out to a no
kill shelter in San Antonio for
adoption. The next day after
verifying that it was strictly a
no kill shelter with one of the
city employees that handles
animal control for the city,
I told my father to go ahead
and meet with them at the
City Hall to take her in. I informed my father, if there was
a possibility of euthanization, he was to bring my cat
back home. My father ques-
tioned the city employee and
he was assured they were a no
kill shelter and she would not
be euthanized. I found someone that wanted to adopt her
and decided to call so I could
go and pick her up. When I
called to see if she was still
there, I was told she had been
euthanized. I called back and
was told to call one of the city
employees who handle animal control, so I did. The city
employee I spoke with stated
that the cat had been adopted
out to a lady from Nordheim
that came in crying because
her cat passed away, so she
ended up adopting my cat.
He called me back that same
day to ask me who said that
the cat had been euthanized,
I told him who informed me
about the cat and he repeatedly told me that they were
strictly a no kill shelter and
that someone had adopted
my cat. I know there is paperwork involved, so I told
the city employee that I wanted to meet with him the next
day to see the paperwork involved in the adoption and
proof that she was adopted. After a little hesitation on
the phone, he agreed to meet
with me the next day to show
me the proof. The next day,
I get a phone call from that
same city employee and he
stated to me that he did not
have the paperwork to show
me because the cat had been
put down on Tuesday, the day
before I was told that she had
been adopted. My question
here is what was the point in
lying and why was i lied to
from the very beginning? Can
we really trust our city? I hope
no one else in this city will fall
victim to what I did. And that
my story will open the eyes
of everyone who is thinking
about sending their pet to
“Kenedy’s No Kill Shelter.”

Mankind is a slow learner
Joe
Brubaker
Folks I don’t know why but my mind has
been filled with thoughts concerning our
thinking and behavior.
We have certainly made great strides in
many areas including science, medicine
and manufacturing. Be that as it may we
have not made much progress in loving our
neighbor as our selves.
We know that thousands of years ago the
Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans.
They would not even set a foot in their
country.
Perhaps we do not go that far but many of
us do not want to have anything to do with
PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES EVEN
if THEY LIVE and are citizens of THE United
States. I am concerned that we maybe too
interested in ourselves and those who think
and look like us.
I think of President Lincoln’s Gettysburg
address when our country was in deep trouble.
Four score and seven years ago our forefathers brought forth on this continent a
new nation, so conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war,
testing whether that nation or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
Folks, I do not want to be a worry wart,
but I think we are in trouble again. Too
many people in high positions seem to be
more concerned about power, prestige and
money than they are in what is good for the
people of our country.
There are Individuals and organizations
that are trying to divide us by spreading rumors, half truths and down right lies concerning both political parties, our President,
our military, different races, religions and
on and on. They are using the old ploy of
divide and conquer!
If this keeps up perhaps, just perhaps,
we are in greater danger than we were back
then!
O Canada!
Pamela
Baker
My husband often tells me I have a piece
of coal inside my heart because I don’t cry
during sad movies. This isn’t exactly true,
but often times during movies I will look
over at my big tough husband, and see tears
running down his face, while I, the cold
hearted, am completely unmoved.
I would like to say that I have complete
control over my emotions, but the same
husband who says I have coal in my heart
would tell you that there are certain instances where he has to dodge projectiles
being thrown at him.
I did cry, this past week; however, when
I heard the Canadian national anthem being played during a medal ceremony at the
2010 Winter Olympics held in Vancouver,
British Columbia.
I sang that song every school day growing
up in Ontario, Canada, and in French classes we would sing it in French.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
As a student I used to have national anthem envy, thinking that the Americans had
a much cooler song. Now that I am older I
appreciate them both, the same way I have
come to appreciate and love both the United States and Canada. I believe I would be
happy living in either country.
But when the two countries play hockey
against one another in the Olympics, well, I
have to root for my northern home.
Hockey was a staple in my home, the way
that football is a staple in many households
here in Texas. Instead of T-ball kids play
pee-wee hockey, Saturday night is “Hockey
Night in Canada.” My father played hockey – even my parish priest played hockey
(professionally at one point!) In the summer time kids would play street hockey with
balls and sticks.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens have a rivalry that could
match that of the Horns and Aggies. Although I wasn’t a huge hockey fan I knew
how to play, I knew the rules and I could follow the game, often watching playoff games
with my family.
So during the preliminary game between
Canada and the United States was on television, I sat with my family here in Texas and
cheered for the Canadians, while everyone
else was cheering for the Americans, except
for my eldest daughter who was cheering
for both teams.
When they lost I was pretty sad, but delighted to find out that they would play the
Americans again for the gold medal in the
finals.
We watched the game last Sunday afternoon. I called my father and watched
it with him for a little bit, just like I used to
do when I was a little girl. The gold medal game was close – both teams were equally matched. It could have been anybody’s
game. The Canadians won the game with a
single goal in sudden death overtime.
I was proud of my home country, and I
cried. But just a little.
The three Adas
Joe
Baker
Our family recently celebrated our youngest daughter’s third birthday at my brother’s
place near Choate.
Ada turned three as I am writing this column, on March 2, Texas Independence Day,
but we celebrated a little early on Saturday,
Feb. 28.
During the celebration I took a photo of
Ada with her Great Aunt Ada Bea Schroeder,
who was there with my Uncle Bradley.
I could not resist the opportunity to get a
photo of the two “Adas” there together.
When I looked at the photo this morning,
I was struck with a most unusual feeling.
When I looked at the photo with my eyes,
I could see there are indeed two “Adas” in
the picture, but then I looked at the photo
in a different way.
When I looked at the photo with my
heart, I could… feel… that there was another “Ada” – a third “Ada” in the photo standing with my youngest daughter and my
Aunt Ada Bea.
This third Ada, was actually, in chronological terms, the “first” Ada – my grandmother, Ada Hunt Baker, who passed away many
years ago but continues to live in my heart.
I could feel in my heart that she was there
at my daughter’s birthday party, just as she
is with me every day.
Although she died when I was just a
young boy, I have so many fond memories
of my grandmother who we called “Mom
Bake.”
I’ll never forget how she would always ask
me to sing “Raindrops keep falling on my
head” whenever we would visit my grandparents’ home in Choate.
I’ll never forget how she would pack treats
and Cokes in small glass bottles for us for
the drive home when it was time to leave.
I’ll never forget how much she loved us
and how much we loved her.
She was an extraordinary woman and I
could fill a book with thousands of pages
about her experiences and the life that she
lived – most of the years in Choate, Texas.
When I look at the faces of Ada Bea and
Ada Brooke, I see her face.
When I see the love, the spirit and the joy
for life of these two living Adas have, I am
reminded of that same spirit and joy for life
that she had.
My Aunt Ada Bea brought a gift for our
three-year-old Ada, but she also brought
very special presents for me and my wife,
Pam.
She had clipped and saved two columns
that we wrote for the newspaper several
years ago and she gave us these clippings.
When you write lots and lots of columns,
you don’t always remember everything you
write – such was the case with these two
columns.
I did not remember the one that I wrote
or the one Pam wrote but reading both columns transported me back to a few years
ago when we were struggling with the challenges that all working parents face as a part
of raising a family with small children.
Pam’s column was called “The Puzzle”
and it was about her Mom and her love for
puzzles, but also about how family life can
be a puzzle, too. In her column Pam said
she liked puzzles, but she prefers the kind
with a small number of pieces.
Ada Bea gave Pam a puzzle just like that,
along with the column she had clipped and
saved.
It was a very, very thoughtful and special
gift and I am thankful and so very grateful
for the three “Adas” who have been a part of
my life.

Eating Up
By Amelia Simmons
Sweet Potato Meringue Tart
Cook offs have been an American
institution for over a hundred years.
From the St. Louis State Fair of 1907 to
our own Lonesome Dove Festival in
Karnes County, home bakers of all ages have gathered to cook their best. If
you watched White House Executive
Chef Cristeta Comerford win the season
opener on “Iron Chef America” recently, you were watching a piece of American history, moved on a century. Only she had modern technology to bring
the event to millions on the television
screen.
For the pie crust
1 ¾ cups cake flour
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup ice water
¾ cup solid vegetable shortening
¼ tsp salt
For the filling
1 ½ cups sweet potatoes cooked and mashed
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 Cup sugar
½ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons flour
3 eggs, beaten plus 3 egg whites, reserved
1/3 cup cream
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon arrowroot
1 teaspoon ginger
Cristeta Comerford has made history
by being the first female Executive Chef
at the White House, and the first minority to hold that position. She’s a Filipino
American and featured the flavors of her
home cuisine in the competition. Bold
tastes like lemongrass, ginger and ingredients like oysters and fennel comprised
her prize-winning menu; but she also
featured the humble sweet potato in a
pie that could have come straight from
the marquee at the St. Louis Fair. She’d
have been right at home in the bustling
crowds of a nineteenth century state
fair, where immigrants from all over the
world exhibited their specialties from
back home in the New World they now
called home. I like that.
In keeping with the tradition, the recipe below for traditional sweet potato
pie appeared first in 1865 in the pages
of Godey’s Lady’s Book, but I’ve added Cristeta Comerford’s 2010 meringue
topping, just to keep things fun. I used
this pie dough because it is the recipe
created by another White House chef,
Roland Mesnier, a Frenchman.

To make the pie crust, combine the
flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the
shortening, chopped and flake into the
flour with a fork. Add the ice water and
form into a soft dough. Wrap the dough
ball in plastic and refrigerate for an
hour. Use the dough to line a deep dish
pie plate.
Combine the filling ingredients and
pour into the piecrust. Bake at 350 for
40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the
middle comes out clean.
To make the meringue: Whip the egg
whites until they form stiff peaks. Sift
together the reserved sugar, arrowroot
and powered ginger. Slowly fold into the
egg whites. Spoon the meringue topping onto the cooled filling, sealing the
edges against the pastry, return to the
oven for another 15 minutes, watching
carefully so that the meringue does not
over brown.
Healthy Habits
Why do we need to drink water? That is
a good question with an even better answer.
Water will boost your metabolism, curb
your appetite, give you tons of energy,
keep your elimination systems working
properly to prevent constipation, help prevent bladder and kidney infections, clean
out your lymphatic system, make your
skin glow with health, wash out liquefied
fat, keep your liver functioning properly,
keep you focused and alert, lubricate your
joints, regulate body temperature, carry
nutrients and oxygen to your cells, help
dissolve nutrients and minerals to make
them more easily utilized by the body, protect all organs and tissue, and help to keep
the eyes, mouth, and nose moist.
That is a pretty impressive list and has
me convinced to go get a glass of this sparkling wonder right now. It may sound impossible that plain ‘ole water does all this,
but keep in mind that your body is mostly
water. Your muscles are 75 percent water,
your blood is 82 percent water, your lungs
are 90 percent water, your brain is 76 percent water, and your bones are 25 percent
water.
You are losing fluid every minute of every day, even while you sit reading this
newsletter. Lose more than you take in
and your body is in trouble and will start to
make you feel awful as it pleads with you
to get hydrated.
Without enough water, your body also
will hang on to fat because the liver cannot
process fat without water. Even if you exercise every day, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to lose weight unless you drink
enough water. Water is a very important
part of maintaining a healthy weight. It literally flushes liquefied fat from your body
and boosts your metabolism. Drink your
water every day as part of a healthy diet
and add in exercise. You will be amazed at
the results.
So, how much water do you need?
There are many methods of determining this, but I like to take my weight, divide
it by two, take the number I get and drink
that many ounces of water every day.
For example, if you weigh 200 pounds,
your body needs 100 ounces of water a
day. I have found this method rather dependable as it is based on your own size.
You can personalize your need even more
by considering your activity level, how hot
it is, and whether or not you have a special
need like if you are a nursing mother.
When you exercise it is best to drink water before, during, and after your workout.
When working in the sun, water (along
with plenty of breaks in the shade) is especially important to help prevent heat
stroke.
If this figuring and counting ounces to
determine proper water intake sounds
daunting, try this: Simply drink a glass of
water with every meal and a glass in between every meal. Right there, you already
have five glasses of water! Easy, right?
Take it a step farther and keep a glass
of water by your bed. Drink up when you
wake to get your metabolism going before
your feet even hit the floor. Drinking when
you wake starts your body’s natural cleansing process and is a great way to start your
day. That counts for another glass, so now
you’re up to six a day. Drink another after supper, now that’s seven glasses. I bet
you will add another during the day without even thinking about it and you have already had eight glasses of water in one day.
How much money would you pay for
good health, less illness, less pain, fewer
headaches, a smaller waistline, more energy, and mental clarity? I know I would
pay a lot.
However, reach for water any time you
think you would like something cool to
drink or when you are thirsty and you
will be well on your way to a healthy body
for next to free. Water. What a wonderful,
God-given basic for good health. Cheers!

The devotion for this week
is “My Life-Saver” by Courtney Witte, Scripture is from:
“Heal me. O Lord, and I will
be healed; save me and I will
be saved, for you are the One I
praise.” Jeremiah 17:4.
When I was born, my arteries were switched. So when I
was just 3 days old, I had to
have surgery to switch them
back. The surgery was risky
and my cousins were scared.
With all the prayers, I made it
through the surgery. I might
not like my scar, but it was a
part of my life-saver.
Prayer: Thank you Lord for
valuing our lives enough to
give us a second chance or
giving me a chance just to live
my life. Thank you for all You
do. Amen.
Kenedy Church of Christ news
Accept One Another
Suppose someone walked
through the door and sat
down on the back row during
a church service. What if his
hair was longer than acceptable? Suppose he was dirty, or
didn’t smell fresh. Would Jesus Christ be accepted in our
assembly?
In recent weeks we have
talked about encouraging one
another. We have then said
that it is hard to encourage
one another unless we first
love one another. Sunday we
added the truth that it is impossible to love one another
unless we first accept one another.
When Paul wrote his letter to the Romans there were
problems in the church because some could go to the
market and buy meat that
had probably been sacrificed
to idols. Others could not do
this with a clear conscience.
I draw your attention to Romans 14. The chapter begins;
“Accept him whose faith is
weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.”
We read in verse 12 that each
of us will have to give an account of ourselves to God.
By accepting one another it
leads to peace and mutual edification (see v.19)
Romans 15 reminds of
the standard for us accepting even the shortcomings of
one another. “For even Christ
did not please himself…Accept one another, then, just as
Christ accepted you, in order
to bring praise to God.” (V.1,
7) Basically it is a sermon in
three words, accept one another.
The lady at church who is
full of herself, the guy who
looks different, even the weird
preacher; we must accept another which brings praise to
God. As the saying goes the
church should be a hospital for sinners not a museum
for saints. It is pampas of us
to think that Christ would accept me, that he would die for
my sin and offer me pardon,
just so I can look down my
nose at you or some guy on
the street because you do not
meet my standards.
Our worship together on
Sundays is crucial. If we love
the Lord as we profess to love
him on Sundays, then we will
show our love for one another
the other six days of the week
as well. Together we are the
church.

First Presbyterian Church news
“ Speaking of Faith’
Pastor Chuck Gibbs had previously informed the congregation that his sermon would contain a question for each person:
“Imitate or Innovate?" The primary text for his sermon was
Philippians 3:17- 4:1. Paul is
speaking: “My friends, I want
you to follow my example and
learn from others who closely follow the example we set for
you. 18I often warned you that
many people are living as enemies of the cross of Christ. And
now with tears in my eyes, I warn
you again 19that they are headed for hell! They worship their
stomachs and brag about the
disgusting things they do. All
they can think about are the
things of this world. 20But we
are citizens of heaven and are
eagerly waiting for our Savior
to come from there. Our Lord
Jesus Christ 21has power over
everything, and he will make
these poor bodies of ours like
his own glorious body. 1Dear
friends, I love you and long to
see you. Please keep on being
faithful to the Lord. You are
my pride.”
In this text Paul is chal-
lenging us to stop trying to
be so creative and innovative
and just be “imitators” of Jesus Christ. Could it be that
he is correct? Can we get so
wrapped up on trying to be
creative and innovative that
there is not time or energy
left to imitate Jesus Christ as
best as we can? Paul tells us
that the best way to imitate
Jesus in our day and time is
not reading history, or even
the Bible, but to imitate those
around us who love and serve
Jesus Christ with their whole
being. That is the mission of
the Church! That is our mission as a Christians! Hopefully, as we seek to live our lives
as faithful and obedient children of God, our children,
our family, our friends and
all others who know us will
want to imitate us. As they
imitate us, they will seek to
know Jesus Christ more and
more as their personal, eternal and only Lord and Savior.
And so the imitation goes on
and on and God's Kingdom
of Love on earth grows and
grows, and communities and
the world are transformed in
small and large ways.
Ushers today, greeting at-
tendees, were Bill and Betty
Butler.
Music was beautifully provided by Stella Saxon. The
message from the Minute for
Missions was presented by Ed
Farris, and the Liturgist was
Kathryn Farris. Lovely flowers
were given by the families of
Vangie McShane and Forrest
and Alvin Salge.
As the service ended and
the bells pealed, the congregation greeted each other
and caught up on local and
church news.
Pastor Gibbs’ sermon title for next Sunday is Essential Skills for Christians and
the scripture is 1 Corinthians
10:1-13.

St. Matthews Episcopal Church news
St. Matthew’s Episcopal
Church of Kenedy celebrated
The Second Sunday in Lent
with Reverend Robert Johnston as pastor. Neil Nichols
was the Lay Minister and Joseph Avalos was the Lector.
Joe read the First Reading
Genesis 15:1-18. The Lord
made a covenant with Abram
that his heirs would be plentiful and promised them land
and rivers.
The Second Reading was
Philippians 3:17-4:1.
Paul
tells them to beware of the
way some people live and
not to follow their examples.
They must stand fast in their
faith in Jesus and live good
lives.
Reverend Johnston read the
Gospel of Luke 13:31-35. Jesus was warned to leave and
get away from Herod to avoid
being killed. Jesus told them
that he had tasks to do and
would do them. He was busy
healing the sick and casting
out demons. Jesus knows
what his fate is in Jerusalem
and admonishes them for not
listening to his teachings.
Reverend Johnston reminded us what Lent is about
and when it was started. Lent
is 40 days before we celebrate
the resurrection of Jesus. Before Jesus' death it was a period of time for fasting and
preparation for baptism. We
also remember that after Jesus’ baptism, he went into the wilderness for 40 days
and fasted for his preparation
for his ministry. Lent today is
more relaxed than in the past.
We begin it with Ash Wednes-

“Jesus Wins Debate”

cordially invites everyone to
come see a gift through drama and music a life presentation of the crucifixion of Jesus on Saturday, March 27 at
6pm and Sunday, March 28 at
3pm.
Pastor John Wheat today
spoke on the Tuesday before
Jesus died in an event known
as Holy Week. Using Matthew
22:15-45, Pastor Wheat spoke
of three groups who hated Jesus and wanted to discredit
Him. The first group was the
Herodians who opposed Pilate and wanted Herod’s son
to rule. They asked him if it
was right to pay taxes to Caesar or not. Jesus asked them
to get a coin and see whose
image is on it. They replied
Caesars and Jesus in verse 21
said: “Give to Caesar what is
Caesar’s and to God what is
God’s,” thus winning the argument. Next the Sadducees
who were conservatives in
the priestly order not believing in the resurrection try to
trip Jesus up by asking whose
husband this woman will
have in heaven having had
7 husbands. Jesus answered
they didn’t understand the
resurrection nor the power of
God for no one dies but goes
on to live in heaven as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob did. The
third group questioning Jesus this day was the Pharisees who dealt with the letter
of the law and wanted to trick
Him with their question asking what is the greatest commandment. The Pharisees
had over 635 laws to keep
but Jesus tells them to combine all 635 laws into 2 laws in
verse 37: “Love the Lord your

"Counting stars, counting descendants, counting

When God appeared to
Abram in a dream, he revealed childless Abram would

David W. Collins III, pastor of

the Second Sunday of Lent.
Abram questions why he
and Sarah had remained
childless which brought them
shame, embarrassment and
grief. Abram blames the god
for interfering and meddling
in his life. But if the if the
dream is to be believed, the
Abram must imagine each

with all your soul and with all
your mind. This is the greatest
commandment. The second
is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus taught
us to give ourselves to God,
that heaven was glorious and
don’t worry about keeping
any laws but loving God and
people. There was a fourth
question Jesus asked in verse
42 and 46: “What do you think
about the Christ, whose son is
He.” They said the son of David and then Jesus said: “How
is it then that David, speaking
by the Spirit calls Him, ‘Lord’?
And if David calls Him ‘Lord’
how can he be His son?” Jesus
won every debate and was no
longer troubled. Who do you
say the Christ is? Questions?

Collins indicates Abram is
the model for all of us who are
his heirs. We are daily challenged to leave behind our
hopes and dreams to follow
God. We trust God as the basis of our life and the source
of all hope. We are asked to
imagine each star in the heavens as God's promise to us
and our needs.
The Holy Scriptures, read
by Dorothy Gross, were taken
from Genesis, Psalm 27, Philippians, and the Gospel of
Luke 13:31-35.
Prayers were made to comfort and sustain those who

“Mission Accomplished”
The gospel lesson for the
Second Sunday in Lent was
Luke 13:31-35. As Jesus came
near Jerusalem, some Pharisees came and said to him,
“Get away from here, for
Herod wants to kill you.” But
Jesus told them, “Go and tell
that fox for me, “Listen, I am
casting out demons and performing cures today and to-
morrow and on the third day,
I finish my work.” Jesus came
to the earth to die for the sins
of the world. He had a job to
do and nothing was going to
stop him.
Pastor Wally Schievelbein
said in his sermon that we
need to understand that it
was because of our sins that
Jesus had to die. We have all
gone astray and fall short of
God’s glory. We should have
been nailed to that cross instead of Jesus, but because of
God’s great love for us, he sent
his son to die in our place.

early worship service were

Windecker
Dr. Leo J. Windecker
What one man can do is
dream. What one man can
do is love. What one man can
do is change the world and
make it new again. Here, you
see what one man can do!
The words of the John Denver
song could have been written about Dr. Leo Windecker, 88, the legendary aircraft
designer and creator of the
first military STEALTH prototype, who passed away Saturday, February 13, 2010 in Cedar Park, Texas. Born in Gull
Lake, Saskatchewan on July
9, 1921, Leo was the oldest of
the four children of the Reverend Konrad and Frieda Loos
Windecker. He grew up in
Karnes City, Texas, where his
father served as pastor to the
German-speaking communities south of San Antonio. He
married Pearl Rolf of Kenedy,
TX in 1942, one month before
enlisting in the Army Medical
Corps. He served as a medic on Guadalcanal and Espirtu Santos during World War
II, receiving an Army Commendation for discovering
the cause of the dysentery
that was the greatest cause
of death for our troops in the
South Pacific Theatre. Discharged with a Purple Heart
for injuries he received in a
Japanese bombing attack, he
returned to Texas, graduating
from the University of Texas
Dental School in Houston in
1948. Leo and Pearl had two
sons, Robert "Bob" and Theodore "Ted" Windecker. Dr.
Leo Windecker opened his
first dental practice in Lake
Jackson, TX later that year. In
1952 he was joined by his second wife, Houston prosthetic dentist Dr. Fairfax Windecker. They authored a paper
on "immediate denture insertion" that was published
in dental journals around the
world and the procedure is
still in wide use. After his first
flying lesson in 1956, Dr. Windecker started experimenting
with fiberglass "composite"
materials that could make airplanes stronger and safer. His
experiments led to a research
grant from the Texas Division
of the Dow Chemical Company in Lake Jackson, TX. He
and Fairfax closed their dental practice and spent the rest
of their careers researching
the application of composites
to aircraft. The project moved
to Midland, TX in 1962. The
Windecker "Eagle" made its
first flight in 1967 and won
Federal Aviation Administration Certification in 1969,
the first all-composite airplane ever approved. Today,
most new airplane designs
are made from composites.
Three Windecker Eagles are
in aviation museums, including the prestigious Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Air and Space
Museum in Washington,
D.C. In 1971, Leo Windecker
had another "world-changing" idea. Knowing that radar passes through fiberglass
composites, he proposed to
the US Air Force that he could
build an airplane that was
completely radar-invisible.
After two years of research
and development, the U.S.
Air Force YE-5 Stealth prototype was delivered and went
into top-secret testing. It has
been reported that today's
stealth aircraft all use Leo
Windecker's technology. Leo
flew his personal Windecker Eagle throughout the United States and Canada. In 1986
he gave his beloved airplane
to the Lake Jackson Historical Society Museum, where it
hangs in the rotunda, honoring the city's first dentist and
the Dow Chemical Company, who made the Eagle possible. In 2003 he was inducted into the Texas Aviation Hall
of Fame. He is nominated for
the National Aviation Hall
of Fame in Dayton, OH. After losing his spouse, Leo met
Julia Kay of Odessa and they
married in 1990, experiencing a wonderful retirement

Get Inventive
By Stephanie Kroll
Thomas A. Edison said, “I never
did anything by accident, nor did
any of my inventions come by accident; they came by hard work.”
Rolling up their sleeves and
getting down to some hard work is
exactly what Stephanie Kroll’s
fourth grade class did after their
creative imaginations was inspired
by reading a story about kids their
own age creating new inventions.
Students in the Gifted and Talented program decided they wanted
to do the same thing so they paired
up to create some new inventions
of there own. The students had
three weeks to come up with an
idea, draw out blue prints, and
build the project.
Catherine Ridley and Christian
Gutierrez invented the Trashdomi-
School
there were several students who
donated for the first time.
These blood drives, although
held on school property, are community drives and the school and
South Texas Blood Bank encourages all members to donate blood
when they are in the area, so if
you’re an individual who likes to
help others then please donate.

Runge High School’s
Haiti Relief Effort
The High School student council has challenged each class to
raise money for the recent earthquakes that have reeked devastation upon those countries.
The class that raises the most
money for the Red Cross will get to
smear a whipped cream pie in their
class sponsors face.
Each classes activity room contains a plastic container to collect
the donations in. Deadline for the
donations is Wednesday March
tenth.
If the high school raises more
than 1600 dollars, the superintendent and principal has volunteered
to take the pies in the face instead
of the sponsors.
Rehearsals for One Act
It has been some time since
Runge High School has had a One
Act Play cast and crew but rehearsals are soon to begin as students
prepare to perform for UIL competition “To Burn a Witch” by James
L. Bray.
Set in the late 1600s In Salem,
Massachusetts during the witch
trails era, to girls have been accused of being witches and wait for
questionings to resume to determine their fate. Their small community burns to the death those
individuals convicted of being
“Brides of Satan.”
Friends Mary and Ruth are
caught between life and death when
questions are posed to them to help
discern if they are witches. Mary
cannot lie even to save her own life
but Ruth confesses readily under
the scrutiny of the questioners then
feigns a seizure to implicate Mary’s
guilt. Left holding the broomstick,
it is Mary who must make a final
choice.
Clara Reyna will debut as Mary
and Lyndsey Rios tackles the role
of Ruth. Dame Stanley will be
played by Xaubriana Barrientez
and the Widow Jones by Bailey

More information will be released later on the dates of the One

District installs bus cameras
to catch misconduct
Administration
uses footage
for security,
accountability
By Kaine Korzekwa
BT Managing Editor
To increase the safety of
students and drivers, security
cameras have been installed on
all KCISD buses.
“They were installed for
safety reasons,” Mike Golub,
the Student Transportation
Services (STS) Director for
KCISD, said. “They are a great
tool for the safety of the drivers
and students.”
Forty-two cameras were
installed on the district’s
14 buses, resulting in three
cameras per bus.
“I think mostly it’s a
safety issue. That is the main
reason. It’s just the idea that
you’ve got safety all around,”
Superintendent
Francis
Penland said. “You’ve got
safety in terms of discipline
on the bus for transporting
students.
We’ve also got
evidence in case there is any
kind of disruption on the bus.”
The digital infrared and
audio capable cameras were
installed Jan. 4-7 by the STS
maintenance department.
“I like the cameras.
Because of them, my kids
are sitting down, and they
don’t even move,” bus driver
Virginia Tinoco said. “They
are a great help.”
STS, Penland, and the
KCISD board approved the
security cameras.
“It is also a safety issue
for the drivers because in some
cases kids will accuse drivers of
things and if the driver is doing
it we need to know, and if the
driver is not doing it we need to
know too,” Penland said. “We
also have had issues with cars
passing the buses when they’re
stopped and not being able to
identify the car. The cameras
can see that. I have been told
(captured footage) could lead
to the issuance of a ticket, but
that is determined by STS and
the Police Department.”
According to District
Business Manager Wayne
Block, KCISD will pay $7,344
each year to STS over the
course of three years for the
cameras.
This includes whatever
it takes to provide security
and safety for all buses that
transport students, according
to Penland. It also includes
all necessary software for
reviewing what is captured by
the digital cameras. The cost is
figured per day per bus, not per
camera or per extra trips.
“I think they have helped
with
discipline
issues,”
freshman bus rider Justin
Barnhill said. “They don’t let
us do anything anymore. We
have to just sit there and be
quiet, and we used to mess
around.”
Penland added that if any
additional cameras are ever
needed or additional buses are
equipped, the expense would
be taken on by STS, and
anything installed on district
buses are property of KCISD.
Additional security provided
is not at the district’s expense.
STS works that out with their
risk management insurance
carrier.
“The cameras kind of
freaked people out at first,”
sophomore bus rider Cinnamon
Buehring said. “My bus was
not really bad to begin with, so
they haven’t made that much
of a change, but I think they
are a good idea.”
STS ran a camera on one
bus last year at their expense
so KCISD officials could
see the results. According to
Penland, the discipline on that
bus improved dramatically,
thus making the ride safer for
students.
Bus security cameras are a
common practice for STS and
other school districts, Golub
said.
“Camera recordings are
reviewed by school officials for
discipline and safety purposes.
Findings may be provided to
police and/or used in school
disciplinary proceedings,” the
Surveillance Camera Notice
posted on KCISD’s website
said. “Students and visitors
should understand that their
actions while in these areas will
be recorded. Therefore, they
should have no expectation of
privacy in these areas.”
So where are the cameras?
A camera is placed in the front of the bus.
This camera is used to view the road from the
same line as the driver. It can aslo be used to
capture vehicles passing the bus illegally.
So the driver can be held accountable
for his/her actions, a second camera
is placed to view the driver.
A third camera at the front of the bus
allows everyone seated in the bus to
be seen. The camera’s infrared capabilities let the camera see at night, as
well as the day.

Shift to improved security, accountability deserves praise
Any student walking
down the halls of KCHS can
notice the security cameras
mounted in the hallways
for this school year. Any
student needing to go to the
bathroom can see the use of
a new pass system from the
beginning of this school year.
Now, any student riding a
KCISD bus can realize that
three cameras are watching
them.
Fortunately, KCHS
has not been a victim
of incidences such as
Columbine High School
or Virginia Tech, and
administrators are bent on
such a devastating event
never occurring. The
district has been proactive;
it has realized technology
is available and has taken
advantage of it. These
additions to campus occurred
because school officials
decided to take initiative
and step up campus security
and accountability. This
initiative is something to be
welcomed and praised.
Security is imperative,
especially in the public
school system. With the
cameras, in particular,
administrators are able to keep
an eye on people who would
want to potentially harm
students. Were a situation
similar to this to arise, school
officials would be able to help
avoid a serious crisis. The
school district has not had
an issue such as this yet but
is now prepared for it in the
future.
The accountability
of students, as well as the
accountability of teachers,
staff, administrators, and bus
drivers, is being placed higher
on the totem pole by KCISD
also. If something were
to happen to a student, the
district could be held liable
and possibly lose valuable
revenue. Some of which could
be taxpayer money. The
hallway and bus cameras, as
well as the passes, are a way
of retracing students’ steps
to see where they were at
what time in case something
happened. If a student, or
school district employee,
were somewhere he/she was
not supposed to be, school
administrators would need to
know.
When it comes to the
bus cameras specifically,
the deal that KCISD made
with Student Transportation
Services (STS) is extremely
efficient. The district
purchased an entire camera/
security system, instead of
purchasing each camera
individually. According
to Superintendent Francis
Penland, anything else needed
to ensure total security on the
buses would be supplied by
STS. If additional buses were
purchased by the district, STS
would supply extra cameras.
Also, any technology needed
to review the footage and
audio is paid by STS. The
high tech, infrared and audio
capable cameras are also
hooked to a black box at the
front of the bus. This device
is similar to the ‘little black
box’ in an airplane, allowing
officials to know when the gas
or breaks were pushed, when
the bus’s stop sign was out,
and what the speed of the bus
was at any given time. This
added safety feature would
be highly valuable were
something to happen to a bus.
One of the cameras can even
see cars that illegally pass
the bus, possibly resulting
in legal action. Now, if STS
makes this security deal with
other schools, they deserve
praise also for bringing good
business deals to the table
that greatly help school
districts and improve student
safety.
Students who think
that the hall passes are a
waste of time or who think
the cameras are somehow
an invasion of privacy do
not realize the qualitative
profits the school district is
getting from its actions. The
amount of money paid is
minuscule when compared
to the benefits received.
The cameras are not used to
merely pinpoint tiny flaws in
students. They are to watch
everyone, as evidenced by
the two bus cameras pointing
at the driver and the front
window.
Increasing security
and accountability is never
a bad idea, and the ways
administrators have gone
about doing it are extremely
effective and efficient.
KCISD’s recent policies raise
the standard for the security
and accountability of not
only the students but every
single district employee.

Bonnie and Clyde - true story as told by Dr. Joyce Kimble

from underneath their cover,
as well as, several weapons on
the floor board of the backseat. My mother and daddy
continued to discuss this all
the way to Best. They decided we were not to tell anyone
about our encounter, they
were scared to death for our
safety.
We later learned that Bonnie and Clyde and whoever
the other man was, were on
their way to Bonnie’s family
reunion on the Texas Coast.
Sometime later we learned
that Bonnie and Clyde had
been ambushed and killed.
Several years later, and after moving to Karnes City, the

daddy stayed very congenial
while my mother remained
friendly with the woman in
One of the earliest memories of my childhood is seeing the notorious criminals
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow a.k.a. Bonnie and Clyde.
My mother, daddy, and I were
traveling from our home in
Santa Rita, TX ( a continental oil camp) to Best, TX. My
daddy was driving, my mother the front seat passenger,
and I was in the back seat,
behind my mother. We were
flagged down by a man who
was stranded on the side of
the road with a flat tire. It
was a black four-door car. Inside the car was a man in the
front seat passenger side, and
a woman sitting in the middle seat space next to him.
The gentleman that flagged
my daddy down asked him if
he had a jack to help fix the
tire, and of course we did. My
mother and I remained in the
car, and my daddy got out to
stand and chat at the back
seat driver’s side window. The
man, who had been sitting in
the car, got out and went to
the rear of the car to fix the
flat. Our two vehicles were
parked side by side, so that
my mother could easily see
the woman who remained in
the front seat. They also chatted as we waited for the tire to
be fixed.

putting it back in the trunk,
we drove off.
After a few minutes, when
my daddy felt it was safe I remember him saying, “My
God Lottie, that was ‘Bonnie

then that the whole time we
were waiting for the tire to be
changed that my mother and
movie version of Bonnie and
Clyde’s story was being shown
at the Karnes theatre (where
Jay’s City Pharmacy is now).
They had displayed the actual car that Bonnie and Clyde
had been in when they were
gunned down. The car was
riddled with bullet holes. I
immediately recognized the

Garden checklist for February
•
Now is an excellent
time to transplant mature or
established trees and shrubs
while they are dormant.
•
Make flower and
vegetable garden plans now
before the rush of spring
planting.
•
Sow seeds in flats
or containers to get a jump
on plant growth before hot
weather arrives. Petunias, begonias, and impatiens should
be sown in January or February. Warm temperature
plants, such as tomatoes,
peppers, marigolds, and periwinkles, should be sown in
late January or early February
•
Don’t fertilize newly set out trees or shrubs until after they have started
to grow, and then only very
lightly the first year.
•
When buying plants,
the biggest is not always the
best, especially when dealing with bare-root plants. The
medium to small sizes (4 to 6
feet) are usually faster to become established and more
effective in the landscape
than the large sizes.
•
Hold off on pruning
bush roses until February or
early March.
•
Now is an excellent
time to select and plant container-grown roses to fill in
those bare spots in your rose
garden.
•
When
pruning
shrubs, first prune out any
dead or damaged branches; then thin out by removing
about one-third of the canes
or stems at ground level, removing the oldest canes only;
and last, shape the rest of the
plant, keeping in mind the
natural shape of the plant.
•
Climbing
roses
should be trained but not
pruned at this time.
•
Now is the ideal time
to select and plant grapes,
fruit trees and berries. Contact your local Texas AgriLife
Extension agent for localized
variety
recommendations.
Prune peaches and grapes at
this time.
2010 is here, and we have
a new Extension Agent, J. D.
Folbre, Agricultural/Natural
Resources.
He will assist you with your
livestock projects. Come by
the office or call and visit with
J. D.!
4-H is a community of
young people across America
who are learning leadership,
citizenship and life skills.
4-H offers so many projects besides just livestock
(pigs, beef, goats, etc.). You
can look at projects in Food &
Nutrition, Clothing & Textiles,
Leadership or anything else
you might be interested in.
If I can be of any help in anyway, please call the Extension
office (830) 780-3906.
Please continue to let us
know of things in your club!
We would like to be of any assistance that we can!
