Wine and local history
joins in Jackson County
Doug Reed, owner of Lavaca Bluffs Vineyard, will pour your favorite wine in Lolita. Contributed photo.
by Thomas Doyle
Folks in Jackson County can
buy wine and get a local history
lesson all at the same time thanks
to the efforts of Doug Reed and
his wife Beth, proprietors of the
Lavaca Bluffs Vineyard.
The Lavaca Bluffs Vineyard
makes 24 different types of wine
in the little town of Lolita, Texas.
On each bottle is a name from local history and the story that goes
with it.
“We have local flair and local
flavor,” Reed said.
Ironically, the whole enterprise
got started by a gardening problem. When he and his wife bought
their property that now houses the
winery, they had an infestation of
mustang grapes of which they never able to remove completely. So
when life gave them grapes, they
decided to make wine.
Now they bring in grapes from
as near as they can find them,
along with growing vines on the
property. But all of the wines are
made in Lolita to exacting specifications.
The winery offers tastings on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays,
and drop-ins are welcome at 172
Private Road 4261 in Lolita.
After a tastings, guests are welcome to sip a newly purchased
bottle on the balcony overlooking
the flowing nearby river.
“Our largest selling wine we
named Labelle, after La Salle’s
ship, the ‘La Belle,’ that went
down in 1694 and was rediscovered it in Matagorda Bay in
1994,” he said. The find rendered
a treasure trove of artifacts that are
featured in many local historical
museums. The vessel is currently
undergoing preservation at Texas
A&M University.
Palacios built a half sized replica of the ship and christened it
“La Petite Belle,” with a bottle of
Reed’s peach chardonnay wine.
All of the winery’s merlots have
pictures and stories of Texas light
houses on them.
The company also has an Indianola Riesling, which was the
major port of entry for German
settlers in Texas, and Riesling is a
wine of German origin. The wine
features a picture of Indianola in
1880 before the second hurricane
destroyed the city, at the time the
largest sea port on the Gulf Coast,
larger than even New Orleans or
Galveston, he said.
Reed also noted the port was the

The Alejandro R Hernandez
Family of Port Lavaca, Texas
by Marie Cook which appeared in Texas Now Magazine
The time was the late 1880s. Port Lavaca had survived the American Civil War and the devastating hurricane of 1875. The population was around 500 but within six years would almost double in
size. The town boasted two hotels and a weekly newspaper, the Port
Lavacaen.
The Hernandez family spans generations of Texans. Contributed photo.
For much of the 1800s, civil war and revolution had existed in
Mexico. The constant fighting had torn the country apart and work
for many was nonexistent. Many Mexican citizens were forced to
leave the country of their birth in order to provide food for their family. Alejandro Rafael Hernandez born in General Teran near Monterrey and his wife, Jesusita born in Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras, arrived
in Texas in the late 1800s. Alejandro toiled relentlessly in the hot
and humid Texas fields as a migrant laborer. Always following the
growing season, he picked crops and cotton in the six mile area of
Robstown, Sinton, Ozona and Port Lavaca.
With the crops harvested, Alejandro and Jesusita would return to
their home in Mexico, where Alejandro found employment working for a hotel in Monterrey. The continuing strife still rampant in
Mexico and another revolution on the horizon, the Hernandez family would continue this yearly cycle, while adding to their family,
for a number of years. In the late 1920s, Alejandro, Jesusita and

More than half of men haven’t seen a doctor in the past year
Local families give dad the gift of health for Father’s Day, Men’s Health Week
Many fathers, husbands, sons,
brothers, and boyfriends share a
common ailment called “Doctoritis” – avoidance of a trip to the
doctor. Whether it’s a “macho”
thing as some research suggests,
or simply fear or lack of time, the
scary fact is that men don’t take
time out of their day to see a doctor.
In honor of Father’s Day (June
15) and Men’s Health Week (June
9-15), local doctors at AFC/Doctors Express centers in our area
urge men to come in for a checkup. Urgent care centers are ideal
for the man on the go – no appointments are necessary and later
hours offer convenience. The time
is right for a doctor’s visit since
survey information by the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Men’s Health Network (MNH) reveals:
• 55 percent of U.S. men haven’t
seen their M.D. in the past year,
and men make half as many doctor visits for prevention as wom-
down the road if they aren’t addressed,” says Dr. D. Bruce Irwin,
founder of American Family Care.
“Most men are guilty of ‘doctor
avoidance,’ and we’re urging men
to step up and take charge of their
health, just as they do with other
aspects of their lives.”

Health)
• This is despite the fact that
men have a higher death rate for
fatal illnesses including cancer and
heart disease. (MHN)
“While many men have the attitude that ‘nothing’s wrong,’ or
‘I’m fine,’ there are several medical problems that don’t present
symptoms and can lead to trouble
Men’s Hidden Health Risks
Doctors and experts at the
American Osteopathic Association recommend physicals to rule
out common problems or identify
health risks that often don’t show
obvious signs including:
• High Blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Elevated Cholesterol Levels
With so many reasons to live a
healthier lifestyle, men still lead
women in more areas of health
risk, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
and MHN.
• More men (31 percent) have
five or more alcoholic drinks in a
day, versus 14 percent of women.
• More men (21 percent) over
age 18 smoke cigarettes, versus 18
percent of women.
• Of men under age 65, 18 percent don’t have health insurance.
• More men are employed in
dangerous occupations, such as
construction workers, firefighters,
police officers and miners.
• Experts believe healthy behaviors in men and boys are dis-
couraged by “macho” society.
• More men are involved in suicides and car accidents, linked to
depression and “risky” youthful
behaviors.
“A routine checkup, paired with
screenings and lifestyle changes,
if necessary, can reduce the risk
of chronic illness for men, as well
as the chances of needing surgery
later in life,” Dr. Irwin says. “We
want men to embrace a healthy
lifestyle and visit the doctor to get
the care they need and deserve.”
Men’s Checkup Checklist
Viewing the doctor as an ally
rather than an adversary can lead
to a longer, healthier life for men.
AFC/Doctors Express physicians recommend men follow a
Checkup Checklist with a medical
professional to address issues that
impact men’s health the most. According to the NIH that includes:
• Blood pressure: Normal blood
pressure is 120/80. If your numbers are higher, your doctor may
recommend lifestyle changes,
medication or monitoring.
• Cholesterol: Men ages 34 and
over should be checked every five
years.
• Colon cancer: Men over age
50 should get regular screenings
for colorectal cancer.
• Heart disease: According to
the CDC, high blood pressure,

New concentration to prepare UHV students for educational technology
Fred Litton, dean of the University of Houston-Victoria School
of Education & Human Development, last year asked an advisory
group of area superintendents
whether the university should start
teaching graduate-level educational technology courses.
The answer was a resounding
yes. The superintendents said they
were eager to hire graduates with
technology experience and training.
To meet those needs, the UHV
School of Education & Human
Development will begin offering
an educational technology concentration this fall for students earning a Master of Education in curriculum and instruction.
“The superintendent’s reaction
reaffirmed there is a need for an
educational technology concentration,” Litton said. “Technology is
becoming more predominant when
teachers prepare class instruction.
UHV Dean of Education and Human Development Fred Litton. Contributed photo.
Our faculty members are using
technology more often. Offering
this concentration and developing
a master’s degree in educational
technology will make us a more
well-rounded school and one that
attends to best practices and current trends in the field.”
The concentration requires 30
credit hours. Students will take
four core curriculum and instruction courses and five new courses
emphasizing educational technology. Also required is a research
course during which students will
conduct a school-based research
project. All the courses will be offered online. New UHV students
pursuing the concentration are eligible for a $500 scholarship.
The idea for the new concentration came from a faculty task
force Litton put together in 2013
to review undergraduate and
graduate programs. Given the
technology growth in schools, the
committee agreed it made sense
to prepare future educators for
educational technology roles. Educational technology also was the
topic of the school’s Spring Symposium in April.
“Students are learning more
with technology than ever before,”
Litton said. “From both learning
and teaching points of view, technology is here to stay. We need to
be a player in that market.”
The concentration is designed to
give students expertise in the integration of curriculum and technology in the classroom. It also is
intended to fill increasing demands
for education professionals with
skills in technology and digital
learning environments.
Litton said almost every elementary and secondary school
now has a technology specialist.
The specialist usually operates the
technology lab and assists teachers

Don’t be a victim
An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.
That statement also holds true
when preventing crime. It is far
easier to prevent crime than it is to
recover from it.
One of the goals of crime prevention is educating the public on
what crimes are actually occurring in your community and how
to prevent becoming a victim.
Residential and vehicle security,
personal security and situational
awareness are all subjects we
should be familiar with.
With that in mind, the Victoria
Police Department Crime Prevention Unit will be providing you
with an “ounce of prevention”
by offering free crime prevention
classes open to the public.
The classes are directed towards
those citizens who are concerned
about criminal activity, what to
look for and how to better protect
themselves, their homes and their
property.
Students will be taught simple
and effective ways to improve
their personal security when at
home, in the office or out in public
plus have a better understanding of
what crimes are actually occurring
in our community.
Upcoming Classes:
Active Crime Prevention
Learn how to recognize suspicious activity and when to call
911. Learn how to be more aware
of your surroundings and more observant. Learn ways to be proac-

tive in preventing crime and learn
how to involve others in stopping
crime before it ever happens.
Burglary Prevention
Learn how to safeguard your
home, vehicle, and buildings
against would be burglars. You
will be shown examples of easy,
inexpensive and effective ways to
secure your property.
Scams and Fraud Awareness and
Prevention
This class will update you on the
most current scams in and around
our area and provide a refresher on
age old scams that are continuing
today. The student will learn what
to be aware of, how to respond and
how to prevent scams and fraud.
Neighborhood Watch
Who knows what goes on in a
neighborhood better than those
who live there?
Learn about the theory and history of Neighborhood Watch, how
to start your own, the duties of all
involved and topics for interesting
meetings.
All courses are FREE and open
to the public. Citizens may reserve
a seat for the courses by calling
the Victoria PD Crime Prevention
Unit at 485-3808. Courses are held
in the Victoria Police Department
Community Room located in Victoria Mall (next to Sears).
Classes aren’t limited to just
those mentioned above and others
are to come.

HERNANDEZ, from pg. 1
their family would soon become
a part of the new migration of immigrants from Mexico and Europe
who would settle in Port Lavaca.
With the expansion of railroads
in Texas during the 1880s, the
shipping of seafood became an
important part of Port Lavaca’s
economy. Tourism also became
important, with the train bringing
weekend visitors to Port Lavaca’s
pavilions and oyster roasts from
places like Houston, San Antonio
and Victoria. Sportsmen also traveled for fishing and hunting.
Incorporated as a general-law
city in 1909, Port Lavaca almost
immediately established an independent school district, voting in
sufficient taxes to keep the school
open for the full term. By 1910 the
town had two banks and two cotton gins, in addition to a broom
factory, an oyster-knife factory, an
ice factory, an electric plant and a
local telephone company.
In 1910 the federal government
dredged a channel from Pass Cavallo to Port Lavaca; with only
three years later completing the
section of the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway below Galveston, thus
giving Port Lavaca an inland water link with that major port. In
1920 a seawall, designed to protect Port Lavaca from high water
and erosion, was completed. With
the export of shrimp becoming a
major industry during the 1920s,
Port Lavaca lead the nation in the
amount of seafood shipped.
It was at this point in history
that the Hernandez family settled
permanently in Port Lavaca. Jesus
Garza Hernandez, son of Alejandro and Jesusita, had been born
in the city of his father, General
Teran. Having been born during
his family’s yearly travels to Texas
for the growing season, he was familiar with living part of his life in
his parent’s home in Mexico and
the other in South Texas. Once the
family was settled in Port Lavaca,
Jesus would attend the Americanization School for assimilation
into the country of his birth.
The Immigration Act of 1924
severely restricted immigration at
the time. Congress believed the
changing ethnic mix was altering
the country’s culture. Many immigrants were faced with having to
take an IQ test and were unfamiliar
with the type of questions on the
test. These tests associated questions with common Western ideals
that many immigrants would not
be familiar with and the Americanization School was intended
as an assimilation school where
Spanish-speaking residents would
be taught English and civics.
Upon attaining his majority,
Jesus married Maria del Carmen.
They would have four children

over the years: Mary Lupita Hernandez Reyes, Elvira Hernandez
Bowie, Alejandro Rafael Hernandez, and Carmen Hernandez Aguilar. (Note: Last names of Jesus and
Carmen’s daughters reflect their
now married status) Jesus worked
at Melcher’s Hardware in Port
Lavaca and managed to establish
a small appliance repair business.
He maintained working both jobs
while raising his growing family.
During the early 1930s access
to Port Lavaca was improved
by the surfacing of roads in the
county and with the completion of
a causeway from Port Lavaca to
Point Comfort. In 1935, passenger
train service was discontinued and
State Highway 35 remained the
only paved highway in the county;
but in 1936 the city harbor was
dredged and the channel through
the sandbars was reopened.
In the late 1940s the Aluminum
Company of America (Alcoa) was
established near Port Lavaca and
the city began to grow. Providing jobs for hundreds of Calhoun
County residents, Jesus Hernandez
would obtain employment with
Alcoa as a janitor. Always a very
hard worker, Jesus worked the
late shift in order to continue on at
Melcher’s during the days; allowing time on weekends for him to

“The future of Healthcare in America”
by Santos Reyes
Healthcare has become a hot
button political topic in this country. As of late, the argument is
over whether or not the Affordable
Care Act, more commonly known
as Obama Care, is superior to the
previous system. Doubtlessly the
argument is raging as I write these
words and as you read them. Instead of advocating for one side or
another, I’d instead like to broaden
the discussion. Often, arguments
ensue when there is perceived to
be only two positions to an issue.
Dark versus light, us versus them,
right versus wrong. When three or
more options become available,
discussion tends to be much wider
and solutions more prevalent.
While I am neither a doctor nor
a politician, I am an observer of
the world around me. So, in this
short essay, I’d like to point out a
few alternative models for healthcare which you may not have had
presented for you to opine upon.
Boutique Practices – In this
type of system, a set pool of people
pay a doctor a flat fee every month
and can visit as often as they need.
If you feel sick, you can go see the
doctor. If you want to lose weight,
go see your doctor. For the patient,
this makes preventative medicine
much more affordable. For the
doctor, he can accurately forecast
his revenue and his operating costs
well into the future, which helps
keep prices low and stable. Prices
are also kept low by the reduced
expense the doctor enjoys by not
having to employ the resources,
Contributed art.
including people and paperwork,
to get reimbursed by insurance or
the government. One disadvantage
to this system comes when a specialist is needed, but some sort of
strategic business alliance could
be possible.
Insurance Cooperatives – Employer provided insurance is simply a shared pool of risk. Think
of insurance like an investment
portfolio. Your broker or mutual
fund manager tries to balance high
risk/high reward stocks with more
stable, lower risk stocks. Insurance
works the same way. You have
young, healthy people who likely
won’t use their coverage often.
You use them to counterbalance
the higher risk people who will
use their insurance benefits more
often. But what if the criteria for
joining a policy pool was by associations other than employer.
Already, chambers of commerce
in Texas are exploring a similar
method of forming a risk pool.
A risk pool could be created by
where you live, by your favorite
sports team, practically anything.
It’s all a question of balancing out
risk so a reasonable rate can be
charged to cover required payouts.
Physician Extenders with Prescription Power – The vast majority of visits to the doctor are just
to get a prescription for medication like pain killers, antibiotics or
antivirals. Doctors have to charge
more than nurse practitioners and
physician’s assistants because of
the vast overhead they have in education and staff. But what if you
could go to a clinic, pay a flat rate
to see a nurse practitioner and get
a prescription, then go about your
way. If more in-depth care is required, the attending professional
could refer you to a doctor. And all
records of such a practice would
be reviewed regularly by a physician. In fact, this model is already
quietly being used in cities around
the country.
The idea I want you to keep in
mind is that healthcare in this country isn’t an all or nothing proposition like far too many pundits have
tried to convince us. Menus worth
of options exist all around us and
in the entrepreneurial minds that
have made this country the economic engine of the world. As I
stated when I opened this column,
my goal isn’t to argue for the current state of affairs or what came
before it. My goal is simply to let
you know that you have more options than you likely know. With
more options comes more chances
to discuss rationally, and more
chances to solve the problem in
the best way for all of us.

HERNANDEZ, from pg. 10
and Carmen would raise their children with love and wisdom; to understand how important it was to
set their sights high and instilled in
them a love of education, family
and for their community.
Jesus and Carmen’s son, Alejandro (Alex), was born in Monterrey, Mexico and attended school
at Calhoun County High School
(which was established in 1948).
Alex, a popular student, played
football for Calhoun County High
and graduated in 1970. Upon graduation he began his studies at Victoria College and while attending
college would meet and marry his
wife, Andrea. Soon they would be
the proud parents of a son, Alejandro Rafael Hernandez (Alex Jr.),
born in 1972; daughter Rachel,
born in 1973 and son, Evan born
in 1991.
With the demands of a young
family, Alex Hernandez worked
at a meat packing plant while continuing to attend college. Moving his young family to Houston
while he studied at the University
of Houston, he would receive his
Bachelor’s Degree when son Alex
Jr., was five years old.
Alex Hernandez and his family would soon make a move to
Chicago, where he would study
at the prestigious Northwestern
University School of Law. While
in law school, young son Alex,
Jr., would begin attending school.
The young law student and his son
would sit at the same desk each
evening to finish their homework.
The Honorable Alejandro Rafael
Hernandez would receive his law
degree in 1978. Returning to Texas, the young attorney and his family moved once again to Houston,
where Alex practiced Business
Law for the Zapata Corporation;
an oil and gas company founded
by the senior George Bush.
Alex Hernandez’s career was
on the rise and the young barrister
was soon practicing commercial
contract law for ARAMCO. ARAMCO is a United States based
subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, a
fully integrated, global petroleum
and chemicals enterprise. The
company’s geographical area of
responsibility extends throughout
North America, with operations
in the U.S., Canada and selected
activities in South America. The
young family would relocate halfway around the world to live in
Saudi Arabia. His father, Jesus and
grandfather, Alejandro, were very
proud of Alex’s accomplishments.
From these extraordinary men
Alex had been raised with a strong
work ethic, love of family, drive
and determination. Their gifts and
love had served him well.
From their early years in Mexico to the present, the Hernandez
family has remained very close.
Even though Alex and his family
lived far from their family in Port
Lavaca they would return often
for family visits. Alex Hernandez’s son, Alex, Jr., was growing
and would soon be entering high
school. Alex and Andrea knew
that a return to Port Lavaca would
be the right move for their family
and they returned home in 1983.
At the time Alex and Andrea
Hernandez returned to Port Lavaca
with their family, the city’s population was around 10,886. A celebration marked the 300th anniversary of La Salle’s landing, and in
1990 Port Lavaca observed its sesquicentennial. In 1986 Alejandro
Rafael Hernandez made history by
becoming the first Hispanic Judge
in Calhoun County. He would
serve as County Judge until 1991.
In 1989, Judge Hernandez’s oldest son, Alejandro Rafael Hernandez, Jr., graduated from Calhoun
High School and was on his way
to college. Three short years later
the young judge would return to
private practice in 1991. He would
return to public office late in 1998,
after winning the vote for County
Court at Law Judge and the Honorable Alex Hernandez continues
to serve as Judge for Calhoun
County Court at Law No. 1.
In 1994, the Judge’s son, Alex
Jr., had attended the University
of Texas and received a degree in
Economics. Understanding but not
fluent in Spanish, the young graduate traveled to Monterrey; back to
where the Hernandez family had
originated from and lived there for
six months. Alejandro Rafael Hernandez, Jr., would learn to speak
fluent Spanish in the country of
his forefathers. Working for an
investment firm from 1995-1998,
he made the decision to return to
school and received his law degree
in 2001 from St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio.
Alex Hernandez, Jr., continues
to honor the spirit of these three
prior generations of the Hernandez
family in all aspects of his life. He
practices the law with the spirit of
his grandmother, Carmen, to help
people as she taught him and to
treat everyone with kindness and
respect. Like his father before
him, Alex R. Hernandez, Jr., has
achieved so much in a short period
of time. With law offices in Port
Lavaca, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and Victoria, he is able to offer
his expertise in law representation
nationwide for personal injury, admiralty and maritime, mass torts
and catastrophic injuries, as well
as class actions, serious injury,
probate, family and criminal cases.
From the town of General Teran,
Mexico to Port Lavaca, Texas, the
Hernandez family has produced
a judge, three (3) attorneys and a
true Texas family legacy.

Cavalry brought to Texas to see if

didn’t.
The Lost Missions wine is made
from grapes from vines brought to
Brownsville by four nuns when
they established the first convent
in North America in 1853. The
vines were used to make sacramental wine for almost 150 years.
Rescued when the convent was
torn down, Jackson Bluffs is now
the only winery that makes wine
from them.
And since the owners have a
sense of history, they still make
wine out of those frustrating mustang grapes they couldn’t kill off
so many years ago.
Both Beth and Doug have backgrounds in education and a love of
history. Doug makes the wine, and
Beth writes the stories and designs
the labels.
Most of the wines sell for $18.95

The wine is available at the winery

of getting much bigger. The winery will ship about 1500 cases of
wine this year, their third in business. Reed said he never wants
