KC pool
offers cool
relief from
summer heat
By Kevin Matula
With another hot summer approaching, one of the primary ways to keep cool
in Karnes County is the Karnes City Aquatic Club. The pool provides the opportunities to exercise socialize and relax throughout June, July and August.
“This pool opened in 1963 and it was originally set up for families to come swim, relax, and enjoy the lazy days of summer,”
Pool Manager Cheryl Neiswender said.
The pool board has decided to offer two
different incentives to new perspective
members. The first offer, waives the current
$150 deposit as long as the applicant pays
one-year dues upfront of $240. Application fee is $25. The next offer is a $75 deposit, with a commitment of drafting monthly
dues set up by the board for one continuous
year.
“This is the only swimming pool in the
county that provides a family oriented atmosphere with two fully trained lifeguards
in CPR and First Aid on duty at all times,”
Neiswender said.
The pool is located off of Hwy. 181 in
Karnes City on 3rd Street. The club has numerous amenities including covered pavilions, a diving board, restrooms and safe,
fenced in grounds. The swimming pool is
divided into a small infant area and a much
larger free swim area. The main section rangSee KC pool, page A2

Karnes County Sheriff David Jalufka said that he had
reason to believe that Deputy Ruben Leal was not being
truthful in regards to his account about what happened
on Jan. 29, at around 2 a.m.
It was at that time that Leal
reported stopping a vehicle
about 1.5 miles north of Helena on Highway 80.
The deputy said he noticed
an unusual number of passengers in the vehicle and
drew his weapon as he approached it because there

$56,000
People of all ages walk laps at the beginning
of the Karnes County Relay for Life event
Friday evening in the Karnes City High
School gym. The event was moved indoors
due to rainy weather, but organizers

Kenedy
students help
raise $1,000
for Heifer
International
By Michelle Gisler
The cafeteria at Kenedy Middle School
erupted into a deafening applause as Principal Randy Tiemann announced to students
that they had raised over $800 at their recent
Cinco de Mayo fundraising celebration.
That was enough to buy and donate two
heifers to Heifer International.
Heifer International is a non-profit organization based in Little Rock, Arkansas. The organization’s goal is to help end world hunger
and poverty through self-reliance and sustainability.
They use donations to purchase goats,
chickens, heifers and sheep to help impoverished families as well as find ways to improve
their lives.
Mrs. Donna Patton, a seventh grade World
Geography teacher at KMS, spearheaded the
fundraiser. Having started this fundraiser
four years ago, the school has raised at least

was a paper license tag on the
vehicle and he was unable
to verify the license tag on
the radio. Leal reported that
heard a vehicle approaching
from behind him and when
he turned around to look;
the vehicle sideswiped him
and knocked him off into the
ditch at the side of the road.
At the time, Jalufka said his
deputy did not have any feeling in his right side after the
accident.

the deputy was injured, was

$3,900.
Patton’s goal was not just
monetary gain but to bring a
bigger world view to the students, to help them realize
how fortunate they are and
teach them the rewards of
giving.
She said, “I want the kids to
realize that they can help others. Also, I want these kids to
realize what they have and
take advantage of it. Kids in
other countries have to pay to
go to school where they sit on
logs and have to go outside to
use the restroom.”
Along with the money
raised by the students Mrs.
Barbara Gilley presented Patton with an additional donation of $200 given by the Order of the Eastern Star.

or knowingly misuse government services, to wit: dispatch and emergency services, which had come into the
defendant’s custody or possession by virtue of the defendant’s employment, by making a false report to dispatch,
and the value of said services
was $20,000 or more but less
than $100,000.
The bond amount was
listed on the indictment as
$30,000 (surety).

The pool opens Saturday,
May 29 at 10 a.m. Pool hours
for the season are 10 a.m. noon and 2 p.m. - 9 p.m. The
pool is closed on Wednesdays
and Sunday mornings. The

It seems Patton’s goal of
raising funds, as well as instilling values of sharing and
caring, was a great success.
KMS eighth grade students
agreed that it was “cool to
help others and have fun doing it.”
Tiemann resounded the
same sentiments saying,
“Helping Heifer International
gave students at Kenedy Middle School the opportunity to
make a real difference in the
world and have a little fun
while doing it.”

Answer: Texas does allow private or independent adoptions,
but there are many legal requirements and/or restrictions. For
instance, you cannot provide the birthmother with financial
assistance, even if it is for living expenses and daily necessities.
In fact, it is a felony in Texas for an adoptive parent to pay
anything other than medical, legal or counseling expenses for
the birthmother. Adoption is complicated, especially if not done
through a licensed agency.

National Nursing Home Week
Celebrate the 20th Anniversary
for a Vietnam story
A review by Therese Pantazakos
Tim O’Brien’s The Things
They Carried illuminates that
“Vietnam was full of strange
stories, some improbable,
some well beyond that, but
the stories that will last forever are those that swirl back
and forth across the border
between trivia and bedlam,
the mad and the mundane.”
O’Brien, a Vietnam vet and
recipient of the James Fennimore Cooper Prize from the
Society of American Historians, gives the story of his fellow soldiers years in Vietnam.
And whether you believe his
stories or not his main purpose is to illuminate the daily
tribulations of boring humid
days and tense nights waiting for action along with horrors which occurred rapidly and needed time to digest,
in some cases twenty years to
digest and order those events.
No matter your personal
stance on the Vietnam war
you will find his reflections
well cured by many years after the fact. O’Brien fought in
Southeast Asia in the 1960s
yet his first edition of The
Things They Carried was not
published until 1990 a decade
after he had won prizes for his
other works. 2010 Marks the
twentieth anniversary for this
important piece of history.
What were the things they
carried? “What they carried was partly a function of
rank, partly of field specialty.” The machine gunner specialist carried an M-60 weighing 23 pounds unloaded with
another 15 pounds of ammunition. He wore his ammo belts crossed over his
chest. In addition, he carried his pack which might
include letters from his girlfriend, a Bible, photos, good
luck charms and Army rations. The platoon leader carried a compass, maps, code
books, a three pound .45 pistol “ and the responsibility for
the lives of his men.” The PFCs (grunts)carried M-16s with
20 magazines of ammunition
and depending on the mission they’d add grenades. The
medic in O’Brien’s platoon al-
so carried comic books and
M&M’s. In addition these soldiers carried one another,
physically or emotionally for
the rest of their lives.
While O’Brien does remind us that the soldiers
carried more than physical
equipment he quickly obliterates any notion that these
American teens were hardened military men. Their naivete at confusung a seemingly peaceful river scene,
which ended in a massacre
of 19 year old grunts erased
any notions we readers had
that you might expect idyllic
swims in enemy territory. The
authors war is about death of
some and the misery of those
left standing. O’Brien, while
remembering the the hotwar scenarios would remind
himself and the reader that
“the war’s over. You close your
eyes. You take a feeble swipe
at the dark and think, Christ,
what’s the point?” And then
his nightmares wake him
up and he remembers more
death.
In 1855 Frank Kroll brought

children, Anton and Marianna, across the Atlantic
Ocean from Poland to settle and homestead in Panna

Kenedy Summer Recreation
Programs begin another year
The City of Kenedy and the
4-B Corporation are ready to
begin another year of summer activities for the youth
of Kenedy. Summer is almost here and while some
kids may be sitting in front of
the television or playing video
games, Kenedy students have
the opportunity to participate
in several different activities
and learn basic skills in football, basketball, track, volleyball, baseball, softball. In addition to the sports clinics,
arts and crafts will also be offered. Kenedy students ages
13 to 15 years old are eligible
to take advantage of activities.
This includes students who
live in the district or whose
parents pay taxes in Kenedy.
Students who turn 16 before
September 1 are not eligible
to participate. This is a great
opportunity to receive indi-
vidualized instruction from
coaches who are well qualified and very dedicated to the
program. Many of them are
former Kenedy athletes who
have chosen to give something back to the community.
The recreation program was
started last year by the City of
Kenedy and the 4-B Corporation and was very successful.
It is free and promises to be
enjoyable while teaching basic skills. Students do need
to register in order to participate. Registration forms are
available now at the Kenedy
Middle School office, Coach
Lin Havron (Kenedy’s Athletic Director), or from Kenedy
City Hall. This is a wonderful opportunity for the youth
of Kenedy to improve their
skills and get some good exercise while learning the importance of self-discipline and
team work.
Track has already begun. It
is being coached by Manuel De Los Santos. They practice from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
Monday - Thursday at the
Kenedy High School track.
Coach De Los Santos coaches track at St. Joseph’s High
School in Victoria. He lives
in Kenedy and was a former
Kenedy athlete who coached
track for the recreation program last year and is very enthusiastic about working with
Kenedy’s youth for a second
year. Students are encouraged to get started now, but
remember you must register
first. If you have any questions about the program, you
can call the Kenedy City Hall
at 583-2230 or Larry Kiesling
at 583-2342.
Representing the Grand
Lodge at the recital will be
Janice Fait, a member of the
Youth Activities Committee.
Two German immigrants
from New York organized the
first Hermann Sons Lodge
(Harmonia) in San Antonio in
1861. The Grand Lodge was
formed in 1890. The statewide fraternal benefit society
has a current membership of
more than 73,000, participating in 138 local lodges across
Texas.
Besides the dance school,
the Order operates two youth
camps for its junior members age 9 through 13 and a
retirement home. The youth
camps and retirement home
are situated on a 330-acre
tract near Comfort.
Widely known for its volunteerism and patriotism, Hermann Sons offers its members a variety of life insurance
plans, annuity and IRA products plus other services.

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address
perhaps the first Memorial Day
Guest Column
Jeff Steele
With Memorial Day a few short weeks
away it is never too early to start recalling
the significance of it. As with most veteran everyday is Memorial Day as we remember comrades who we have served with and
have died in combat. The loss is a memory
that is not resigned to one particular day.
Although Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic, in his General
Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30
May 1868, when flowers were placed on the
graves of Union and Confederate soldiers
at Arlington National Cemetery, it could be
said it was originally started in 1863, five
years prior.
I say that because it was when one of our
greatest presidents gave a speech not only to memorialize our fallen soldiers but also to inspire our nation. Students still learn
about the Gettysburg Address today in history classes across the country but I think
many adults may have forgotten the tribute.
I took the liberty of including the famous
speech in my article to remind all of us
about the importance of honoring Memorial Day in its original context.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, 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 con-
ceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We
are met here on a great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense we can not dedicate - we
can not consecrate - we can not hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled, here, have consecrated it far above
our poor power to add or detract. The world will
little note, nor long remember, what we say here,
but can never forget what they did here.
It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here
to the unfinished work which they have, thus
far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for which they
here gave the last full measure of devotion - that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; that this nation shall have a
new birth of freedom; and that this government
of the people, by the people, for the people, shall
not perish from the earth.
No matter if our veterans died a combat related death or not, each one “gave the
last full measure of devotion” to their country. As citizens let us work hard to ensure
that what they fought and died for was not
in vain. Let us take time to honor their service but also be participants in the democratic process for which the vowed to defend, even to death. Let this nation renew
this “new birth of freedom” and remind our
government that our veterans served and
died for the concept that our government
is “of the people, by the people and for the
people.”
God bless America and may He continue to bless our troops with His hand of protection.
Coming unplugged
Joe
Baker
Sometimes you have to disconnect yourself from the world.
I know, I know.
I know how hard it is to do that in this
modern world.
More and more each year people expect
immediacy.
More and more when people send a message, they expect – no, they demand an immediate response!
I do try very hard to respond as quickly as
possible to someone – anyone who needs
to get in touch with me about anything, but
there are times when we all need to take the
proverbial phone off the hook for a while.
A week ago, I had one of the worst
Wednesdays I have ever had.
My workload was exceptionally heavy
and I was very sick, which made it even
more difficult for me to get everything done.
Exhaustion, fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and congestion were all conspiring against me, and I honestly I didn’t think
I would ever reach Thursday morning,
when I would finally have an opportunity
for some rest.
With the Good Lord’s help, I did make it
to Thursday morning and having completed my work, I climbed into bed. Within five
seconds I fell asleep and I slept as though I
was made of stone.
Before my head hit the pillow, though, I
did something I almost never do.
I turned off my phone.
Everything comes through that thing now
– phone calls, text messages, work e-mails,
personal e-mails, breaking news and other
alerts via Twitter, Facebook messages, etc.,
etc., etc.
I turned that thing off and slept like a baby, and even after I woke up from the nap,
I left the phone turned off for a while and I
just relaxed, listening to some music.
Of course, the call of the world was beckoning, so I could not leave it off indefinitely, so late that afternoon, I switched it back
on. Yes, there were many important messages, and I got back to work, tackling each,
one by one.
But that down time was critically important.
I was now refreshed.
I was myself again.
The fatigue, the pain, the fever, the
stress….it had all faded away.
If you’re like me and you feel like the burden of being connected 24-7 in this modern world is wearing you down, take my one
word of advice:
Disconnect.
Not forever.
But at least, for a little while.
It will do you a world of good.

The 32-year-old piano student
Pamela
Baker
Today I did something I have always
wanted to do.
I signed up for piano lessons.
I didn’t take them as a child. I wanted to,
but just never did. We had a little electronic
keyboard that I played around on, but really never learned much more than basic music theory.
Recently, my 7 year old daughter started
taking piano lessons, and each week I drive
her, sit and listen to her lesson, help her
with her practicing, and try to make sure
she gets her activities done correctly.
One of the reasons why I was so excited to have her start taking lessons is that I
was trying to live vicariously through her. I
always regretted not learning to play as a
child, especially since I have heard that music, like language, is best learned in our early years. I want my children to have the
opportunity to learn, even if they don’t become great concert pianists.
I figured it was too late for me.
But while listening and helping her practice, it occurred to me that now that I am an
adult, I have the ability to get my own piano
lessons now. I have been the only one preventing me from learning. What worries me
is the time involved.
The lesson itself doesn’t take that long –
it’s the practice time that concerns me. I’ll
have to give something up – computer time
or television time perhaps, even though
there is less and less of that to give up these
days.
I feel a little guilty about taking the lessons. I could spend the money and time
on something else. As a parent I am always
concerned about my children and making
sure that they get all the learning opportunities they deserve.
But what better way is there to model a
life-long love of learning than to join in the
learning with them?
We’re one step closer to starting that Baker Band.
Automobiles
Joe
Brubaker
Folks I got to thinking that many of our
younger readers have little or no knowledge
of the early automobiles or cars as they are
now known.
So this old man will try to enlighten them.
First of all just starting the car could be a
major project. Most times it took two people to start the vehicle One to be out front to
crank the engine and one inside to work the
gas and spark levers located on the steering
column.
Cranking the engine was a dangerous task!
Many an arm was broken If the engine backfired making the crank spin and hitting ones
arm.
Tires and inner tubes were another problem.
Every car carried a spare tire, a jack to jack
the car up if you had a flat. Tire tools and a
tube repairing kit and a tire pump. The tubeless tire did not come about until after W W II.
I remember how happy the adults were
when the self-starter was invented and they
did not have to crank the car anymore.
There were no heaters in the first automobiles and of course no air conditioning. No
ash trays and no locks on the doors.
Up north in the winter many cars carried
tire chains and a shovel to dig out of a mud
hole or a snow bank.
You also had to keep alcohol in the radiator
or drain it each night when it was setting in
the barn or garage.
There is no argument that the invention of
the Automobile was a giant step forward in
the transportation field. However because of
the time spent cleaning and repairing them;
there were still those who would drive a horse
and buggy shout as they drove past a stalled
car; “Get a horse-get a horse!”

Dear Dave,
My husband is in the middle of serving a
five-year prison sentence. We have a nineyear-old son, and we’ve sold our home and
everything else of value just to get by and pay
off debts. I’ve managed to pay off almost everything, but we still have about $20,000 in
debt from credit cards and a car note. Our
rent is $375 a month, and the car payment is
$400. He was making about $100,000 a year
before he was incarcerated, and the only income we have now is my monthly disability check of $1,478. Should I file Chapter 13

Dear Dave,

Dear Andrea,
The only time you’ll ever hear me tell someone to sell their house to get out of debt is as

option. Another would be if you don’t really like the house, and you’ve considered selling it anyway. The third situation would be if

health.
Producers are encouraged
to apply for CSP now to ensure their applications will be
considered during this funding and ranking period. However, they can make their final decision to participate in
the program before they sign
a contract. USDA expects the
CSP final rule, which establishes the policies and procedures for the program, to be
announced within the next
several weeks.
CSP, authorized in the 2008
Farm Bill, offers payments to
producers who maintain a
high level of conservation on
their land and who agree to
adopt higher levels of stewardship. Eligible lands include cropland, pastureland,
rangeland and non-industrial forestland.
Potential applicants are encouraged to use the CSP selfscreening checklist to determine if the new program is
suitable for their operation.
The checklist highlights basic
information about CSP eligibility requirements, contract
obligations and potential
payments. It is available from
local USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service offices or on the NRCS Web site
at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/
programs/new_csp/csp.html.
CSP offers two types of potential payments—an annual
payment and a supplemental payment. The annual payment will be determined by
estimating the environmental benefits produced by the
conservation activities a producer installs and maintains.
A supplemental payment
is available to participants
who receive an annual payment and adopt a resourceconserving crop rotation on
cropland.
For more information
about CSP, please visit http://
www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/new_csp/csp.html.
Catch the Reading Express!
The Falls City Public Library, in cooperation with the
Texas State Library and Archives Commission, is sponsoring the 2010 Texas Reading
Club this summer.
The theme is “Catch the
Reading Express!”
Programs and activities are
planned to promote reading
as a leisure activity, to stimulate curiosity, and to encourage children to use library
resources. The Texas Reading Club is self-paced and
helps children to retain their
reading skills throughout the
summer. A beautiful certificate created by the renowned
Texas Children’s book illustrator, Kim Doner, and signed by
the governor of Texas will be
presented to each child who
reaches their reading goals.
Children ages 4 through 2nd
grades are asked to read at
least 10 books to receive a
certificate. For those kids
in grades 3 through 6, they
must read at least 2 hours for
an award, and a prize will be
given for the boy and girl in
grade 7 and up who reads the
most books.
Additionally, the Falls City
Public Library has scheduled weekly activities and
programs for the enjoyment
of all who participate in the
Texas Reading Club. Some
of the activities include an
ice cream social and color
the train crafts. We also have
Spikey Mikey the Magician
and Happy Tails Entertainment booked for a couple of
afternoons of fun. But that’s
not all we have planned. For
a complete list of the schedule of activities and rules and
requirements, contact the
Falls City Public Library at
830-254-3361. Mrs. Mutz and
Mrs. Ermis will be happy to
help you out. Early registra-

Eating Up
By Amelia Simmons
1 cup English walnuts, coarsely chopped
People living in the early 21st century take sugar for granted. It is no longer a
prized, rare and expensive luxury but a necessity – even a nuisance.
Sugar production has always been a political issue. Early on in our history, Britain
made herself hugely unpopular by the collection of taxes it charged on sugar imports
to the New World. We all know what happened.
Since the Revolution, domestic sugar
production was protected by tariffs and the
price of sugar went at first down, and then
up and up. By the early 19th century it was
a status symbol and kept under lock and
key with equally prized spices like cinnamon and cumin.
Sugar consumption arouses controversy for dietary reasons. We all know the concerns that medical conditions such as
obesity, diabetes, hyperactivity, attention
deficit disorder are caused by sugar. This
too isn’t new. In Victorian days, 19th century physicians believed that too much sugar could arouse one’s passions and urged
women to control the number of sweets
and cakes they ate.
Ah, that sweet American tooth.
Butter a heavy bottomed rectangular pan. Melt 1
cup sugar in a heavy saucepan until it turns golden brown. Stir constantly. Scald the half and half
and add to the caramelized sugar. Stir until the
sugar is melted. Add the remaining sugar and return to low heat. Bring the caramel to 246* or softball stage. The syrup must form a firm ball (not
hard) when dropped into cold water.
Remove from the heat at once and stir in the orange rind, butter and nuts. Add a pinch of salt.
Beat until creamy. Pour into the pan and mark in
squares. Leave until cold before turning out and
eating.
Orange Candy from St. Miguel d’Allende
Warm the sugar, butter, chocolate and milk in a
saucepan over low heat until melted. Boil, stirring
constantly until the mixture reaches soft ball (as
above). Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla. Turn it into a shallow buttered pan. Cut into
squares when cool. Makes 24 squares.
3 cups sugar
1 ½ cups half and half
½ cup unsalted butter
Grated rind of 2 large oranges
Dormitory Fudge
In the late nineteenth century there was a tradition of fudge making in student’s dormitories,
where the candy could be stirred over a spirit lamp
late at night. The name fudging was already in use
on campus and meant “almost cheating”. Fudging
became a popular slang expression.
3 cups sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces good chocolate
½ cup milk
1 teaspoonful vanilla

TEMPLE, TEXAS, May 12,
2010 – The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) is accepting applications from Texas agricultural
landowners for the next Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) funding cycle that
ends on June 11, 2010. Applications are accepted on a
continuous basis and those
not received by June 11 will
be considered for funding after Oct. 1, 2010.
“CSP supports ongoing
stewardship of private agricultural lands by providing payments for maintaining and enhancing natural
resources,” said Don Gohmert, NRCS state conservationist for Texas.
Congress limited enrollment for CSP nationally at
12.7 million acres per year.
Applicants will compete

Water efficient practices
for saving your landscape
By J.D. Folbre
Texas Agrilife Extension
County Extension Agent- Ag/
NR
Whatever It is Called, Landscape Water Conservation
Makes Good Sense
This year’s drought has affected not only area farmers
and ranchers, but also homeowners. Many homeowners
are seeing their landscapes
wither due to lack of rainfall
and summer heat. Some homeowners are seeing their
water bills skyrocket and several communities have asked
homeowners to conserve water through water rationing.
To help alleviate landscape
water problems this summer
and in the future, Texas Cooperative Extension, water utilities and civic leaders across
Texas cities are promoting
landscape water conservation.
Whether
called “Xeriscape,” “Water Smart,” or
“Water Wise,” landscape wa-
ter conservation produces
quality landscapes that conserve water and protect the
environment.
Water-efficient landscapes
are a viable alternative to the
conventional, high-water requirement landscapes. For
the past several years, residential and commercial landscapes have utilized more
than 25 percent of the total
water consumption in urban
areas of Texas. This percentage can be reduced to extend
the water supplies of Texas.
By incorporating water conserving principles into home
or commercial landscapes, it
is estimated that water usage
can be cut in half.
Water-efficient landscapes
are not cactus and rock gardens. They can be cool, green
landscapes full of beautiful
plants which are maintained
with water efficient practices.
The same green, Texas-style
landscapes which we are accustomed to can be achieved
and still conserve water.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION INFORMATION
Extension programs are
open to all citizens without
regard to race, color, sex, disability, religion, age or national origin.
Click It or Ticket campaign
Memorial Day is coming
and Meredith Carter, Texas AgriLife Extension Service Karnes County Extension agent, wants to remind
drivers and passengers that
it is almost time for the annual Click It or Ticket campaign.
This year, the campaign has
new seat belt and child safety
seat laws to back it up.
The new seat belt law requires ALL passengers in
both the front and back seat
to buckle up. The new child
safety seat law requires children under 8, unless taller than 4’9”, to ride in a child
safety seat system, which includes booster seats. Although the adult seat belt law
has been enforced since it became effective on September
1, 2009, the child safety seat
law included a grace period
that will end on June 1, 2010,
when strict enforcement will
begin.
More people in Texas are
wearing their seat belts, but
we are still losing too many
lives from traffic crashes. Although seat belts have been
proven to save lives, more
than half of those killed in
crashes were not buckled up.
Groups that are still not consistently wearing their seat
belts include 16-20 year olds,
pickup truck drivers and passengers, and male drivers and
passengers.
Staying inside the vehicle is
the key to surviving a crash.
Statistics from 2008 showed
that 77 percent of occupants
who were thrown from their
vehicle were killed. Wearing
your seat belt is the best way
to increase your odds of survival in a crash. According to
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, seat
belts are credited with saving 255,115 lives from 1975
through 2008.
The Click It or Ticket campaign seeks to reach teens
through a website (http://
seatbeltsrock.com/) where
teens can create a personalized video to share with their
friends. The video follows
teens as they begin a road
trip and includes the names
of their friends on billboards
they pass along the way.
Teens who participate will be
entered into a contest to win
prizes.
The enforcement time for
this year’s campaign by the
Texas Department of Transportation is May 24 through
June 6. During that time, extra
law enforcement will be on
the roads to enforce the new
laws, with the goal of saving
lives.
Save yourself the time, the
money, the hassle, and potentially your life. Buckle your
safety belt. Wear it properly, and wear it every time you
get into a vehicle. Spread the
word – seat belts save lives!

thing.”
Dziuk said he’s seen Kinney
grow and mature as an athlete since her freshman year.
“She doesn’t get as nervous anymore,” he said. “She
sets her sights on winning the
event.”
Kinney said experience has
helped her handle the pressure of state competition, but
the stress has increased since
her first trip to the Austin contest.
“I felt like I knew what to
expect. As a freshman, I didn’t
know what to expect or think,
and I had nothing to lose,”
she said. “Returning to state
my sophomore year, I had a
little more pressure and more
competition. Saturday I felt as
if the whole world was on top
of my shoulders.”
The triple jump was her
first event Saturday morning;
she was concerned at first Friday’s rains would be factor,
but they weren’t. Her second
event, the 200 M. Run, came
later in the afternoon with
hot, humid weather at Mike
A. Myers Stadium at UT-Austin becoming a concern because she had to stay hydrated with water and Gatorade
and protected under the
shade. Then during the race,
she hurt her hamstring.
“I saw when she hurt it because she stepped funny and
Sports
didn’t have the power to stay
up with the others,” Dziuk
said. “I’m proud of her that
she kept running and didn’t
stop. I think she would’ve
placed third, but I could tell
something was wrong.”
Running a 25-second 200
Saturday, Kinney hopes to
whittle down the time for
next year’s competitions, and
she wants to exceed her best
triple jump during a practice,
a 39-foot, 3-inch jump. Competitively, her farthest jump
came at district in Poth in
April at 38 feet, 8.5 inches.
“Goals for colleges are very
important to me,” she said.
“Triple jump is what I really want to work at as well as
the 200. I hope to raise triple
jump to 39 feet my senior year
and start college at 40 feet. I
also hope to run my 200 time
in 24.9 seconds, if not faster.”
She hopes to break all of
her personal records during her senior year and gain
the confidence it will take to
compete at the collegiate level, and “most importantly
have fun during my last year.”
Portraying a positive attitude to teachers, friends,
teammates and classmates is
important to Kinney.
“She is definitely a leader,”
said Dziuk. “Everyone else
should work as hard as she
does.”

You may know the San Antonio River flows through Bexar,
Wilson, Karnes, Goliad and Refugio Counties. You may even
know that flow from the San Antonio River supports the bays
and estuaries of the Texas Coast. But, you may not realize
that the land areas and creeks that drain to the San Antonio
River are known as watersheds. Simply put, we all live and
work in a watershed.
How can we help protect our watersheds?
The San Antonio River Authority (SARA) takes great pride
in preserving and protecting the San Antonio River and its
surrounding watershed, and each of us can help too. Keeping
our yards and streets clean keeps our rivers and creeks
clean. That’s how to be watershed wise.
To find out more about SARA and to become more
watershed wise, please visit www.sara-tx.org or call toll

said Gotthardt. After learning about

it is just an added bonus that he has
a vast knowledge about the history

The science teacher also states
that “this is a very valuable learning experience for the students in

Education sometimes involves

By: Kayla Kotara and Theresa Fenner
Falls City held their prom on May 8, 2010. The theme was FIRE AND ICE. This year’s
prom king was Will Kirchhoff and the queen was Kim Kroll.
Falls City gathered to honor
the new members who were
inducted to the National
Honor Society on Tuesday,
May 11, 2010. The NHS ceremony consists of three parts:
the candle ceremony, the new
member installation, and the
new officer installation.
The night began with the
welcome given by Mrs. Christy Blocker as she announced
the students names as they
gave a flower to their parents.
Kim Kroll read the invocation, which was followed by
the pledge to the flags led by
Will Kirchhoff. Then the history of the NHS was presented
by Mrs. Kim Moy.
The candle ceremony, led
by Kim Kroll, demonstrated
the four qualities that make up
the National Honor Society:
Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service.
Mrs. Blocker then began the
induction of the new members. These were senior, Clarissa Camber, juniors, Tatum

Kenedy Middle School
celebrates Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of pride, independence,
and freedom!
Most of North America recognizes this date, May 5, 1862
because it was the last foreign
invasion on North American
soil. Mexico had borrowed
money from England, Spain,
and France.
They needed time to pay the countries
back. England and Spain were
willing to give Mexico time to
repay, however France, who
was the strongest in military
might at that time in history decided that they wanted
to expand their empire and
have a stronghold in North
America. The French headed
from a victory in Vera Cruz to
a small city known as Puebla.
A poorly armed Mexican militia of 4500 surprise attacked,
stopped, and defeated a well
outfitted French army of
6500 soldiers. The victory was
a glorious moment for Mexican patriots. The victory inspired the people of Mexico
to rise up and be courageous.
Sixth graders studied the
history of Mexico which helps
them to understand why we
celebrate special days like
Cinco de Mayo. As a part of
their studies they hosted the
Cinco de Mayo celebration
for the whole school. The
celebration included food,
fun, games, shopping, music, and prizes! Homemade
flour tortillas were made
and donated by parent, Irma Ascebedo, chicken and
beef taquitos were provided by Barbara Gilley, guacamole and chips were donated by Mrs. Patton,sixth grade
geography teacher, Mexican
wedding cookies were donated by students, roasted corn
and lemonade was provided
by another parent, Rosemary
Vickery.
Games and prizes were also a part of the festive occasion. Mrs. Jendzrey, 8th grade
American History teacher donated decorations and prizes
for the festival. Games includ-

Another fun part of the afternoon was the market . Mrs.
Kathleen Nichols’Craft classes made and sold beautiful
paper roses and colorful foil
lizards. Sixth graders brought
one item from home they
were willing to donate to the
market. Every item was sold!
Items were jewelry, stuffed
animals, gameboys, lotions,
home decorations, clothing,
or pinatas filled with candy.
Students also had projects
related to Mexico that they
made and sold at the festival
market. Altogether $894.15
was raised at the celebration. The money will be used
for the sixth graders world
project, Heiffer International. What a fun way to learn
about the country of Mexico, enhance cultural pride,
shop for Mother’s Day gifts,
and raise money to help fight
world hunger! It all happened
last week at Kenedy Middle
School. A school where the
students hearts are large with
compassion and genorosity. Mrs. Patton would like to
thank all the staff who assisted with the celebration and
beautiful decorations.
Pawnee student earns 2nd
place honors in science fair
Joe Cruz, seventh grade student at Pawnee Junior High,
earned second place honors
in the seventh grade physical science division of the annual Coastal Bend Regional Science Fair held at Texas
A&M Corpus Christi on Saturday, May first. The fair had
more than 750 entries from 32
school districts.
Joe’s avid interest in bow
hunting inspired his experiment design. Joe’s entry, titled “Power Point,” was an
investigation of the penetration ability of mechanical
and fixed-blade broadheads.
Broadheads are the arrow
points used in bow hunting.
Joe conducted his experiment in a barn near his home
in Karnes County by shooting the different broadheads
into high-density foam. Joe’s
conclusion was that mechanical broadheads had more
penetration ability than fixed
blades. Joe would like to extend his experiment by using
a target that has density more
similar to the flesh of the animals he likes to hunt.
Savannah Dobson, also
a seventh grade student at
Pawnee Junior High, entered
“What’s Hiding on Your Fingers?” in the life science division.
Savannah investigated the difference in the
presence of bacteria of unwashed hands, water-rinsed
hands, and hands washed
with soap and water. She cultured the bacteria in agar and
compared the results. She

First Presbyterian Church of
Karnes City on Sunday, May

A large, beautiful fern
graced the altar for the Sunday worship service. It was

Father, J. H. Davis, Jr.
Kathy Chapman was the
liturgist, announcing: “This
is the day the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in
it! The steadfast love of God
surrounds us; be glad and
shout for joy, all you upright
in heart.” The traditional Sunday morning service was
made more beautiful by the
lovely solo piano and accompaniment by Stella Saxon.
Bingo Vela provided scripture readings, beginning with
Psalm 98: “Oh, sing to the
Lord a new song,” followed by
Revelation 22:12-21 and John
17: 20-26.
Cindy Guerrero presented the Minute for Missions,
a topical story of a thriving
multicultural church composed of many different nationalities. The minister said:
“We pray in languages of our
hearts and everyone understands.”
Pastor Chuck Gibbs’ sermon was entitled “Supercharged Friends.”
He posed these questions
to the congregation: “Have
you ever had a stranger do
you a “kind deed?” Have you
ever let someone with one or
two items in the line at the
grocery store go ahead of you
when you had an overflowing
basket? Or had someone let
you pass in front of their car
when they are stacked up in
traffic and you are simply trying to cross? If so, you should
thank their church; thank
their Christian friends.
Harvard and Notre Dame
Universities joined together in some research on what
makes people kind. They
found that the kindest people
were affiliated with a religious
organization. People who are

Our Confidence Is In
Christ
What if two businessmen
who sold the same product worshipped in the same
church? There could be some
possibility of tensions or hurt
feelings.
In the Philippian church there were people
who came in promoting circumcision. In essence they
said to the gentile converts
that before you could become
a Christian you had to first become a Jew. While we might
find this ridiculous, think of
some of the things that have
broken apart churches that
we know of over the years.
The apostle Paul was the ultimate candidate to write on
this subject. He first recalls
his resume (vv.4-5), claiming that he had more to brag
about than anyone. Then
Paul makes a statement that
ought to end any disagreement, put a nail in the coffin
of any argument.
But whatever was to my
profit I now consider loss for
the sake of Christ. What is
more, I consider everything
a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whose sake I have lost all
things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
(vv.7-8)
What is it that you
like to brag about? Have you
ever heard about the guy who
said, or at least thought, “It’s
not just that I follow Christ,
but I am a better Christian
than you because I also put
a rock in the bottom of my
shoe every morning? He said
that we couldn’t know Christ
like knew Christ, because we
hadn’t had the experience or
walking around with a rock in
the bottom of our shoe!
Where does your confidence lie? Where do you
hang your bragging rights? I’ll
root for the Longhorns in any
event that they are in. When
it comes to the NBA the Spurs
are my team. But whether
our favorite sports teams win
doesn’t matter in the scope of
eternity. I am with Paul, it is
all trash compared to knowing Jesus Christ!
Are you a businessman
who is a Christian? Or are you
a Christian who happens to
rum a business? If we rejoice
in the Lord no matter the circumstances; If we really count
everything as nothing compared to knowing Christ; If
we realize that no matter how
many entries we have in the
loss column, know Christ is
one win that trumps them all;
If we are ready to say that it is
not about our talent or business associations, but about
Christ. - Then we are headed
in the right direction!
Who are you living for?
What motivates you decisions? What do you consider a gain or a loss? Rejoice in
the Lord!

The devotion for this week
is “Forgiveness” by Louella Syring. Scripture is from
Psalm 32:1-7. “Blessed are
they whose transgressions are
forgive, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the person
whose sin the Lord will never
count against him/her.”
There are those that feel
that their sin is absolutely unforgiveable. But many of us
seem to commit the same
sins again and again; yet
we know that what we do is
wrong. How then, do we go to
the throne of grace and fall on
our faces before God and beg
for His divine forgiveness?
How do we know deep in
our hearts that because Jesus
died for all our sins that all we
need to do is repent, and we
will be forgiven? We know all
this is true because the Bible
clearly tells us these wonderful truths in Psalms and again
in Romans as Paul quotes that
wonderful truth. All we need
to do is repent and accept
that marvelous gift of salvation so we may go to our eternal reward in the arms of Jesus. What a beautiful truth
that is!
Thought: In an imperfect
world, may we strive to be like
one perfect man, Jesus.
Prayer: Dear Lord, forgive me all my sins that I may
dwell in Your house for all
eternity. Amen.
St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church news
Contributed By: Pat Hemby
The Sunday after Ascension Day was celebrated at St.
Matthew’s Episcopal Church
of Kenedy with Reverend
John Padgett as pastor. Neil
Nichols was the Lay Minister
and Reader.
The First Lesson was Acts
16:16-34. Paul and Silas were
going to a place of prayer and
were bothered by a woman slave who could tell fortunes and her masters made
money from it. Finally, Paul
demanded that the spirit which possessed her come
out of her body. The owners
became angry and a crowd
helped them strip Paul and
Silas and beat them and then
throw them in jail. While they
were in jail and in chains, an
earthquake shook the ground
and it loosened their chains
and opened the doors of
the jail. The jailer was afraid
and was about to kill himself
when Paul told him not to.
The prisoners did not try to
escape and it astonished the
jailor. He realized that it was
God’s work and asked how to
be saved. He and his entire
family were saved and baptized.
The Second Reading was
Revelation 22:12-21. John
had a vision of Christ who
told him he was coming again
soon. Christ told him to be
a testimony to others that all
who believed in him would be
in his kingdom with him one
day.
Reverend Padgett read the
Gospel of John 17:20-26. This
is an account of the part of Jesus’ last prayer and teachings
to his disciples. Jesus told
them that there must be unity among them as there was
unity among God, Son and
the Holy Spirit. Jesus prayed
to God that the disciples
would understand how important it was to love one another and live in unity regardless of their differences.
Reverent Padgett explained
that the passage was showing Jesus praying for his disciples and all other believers

It was one of his most important teachings and he kept
repeating it to them so they
would understand. The unity of God the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit as one was emphasized. This is how Jesus
wants the disciple to be with
one another so others would
believe that he was truly the
Messiah. He wants all to believe and needs us to carry on
his word. We do not all have
to believe the same way and
act the same, but we must believe that Christ is the Messiah. We can be in unity in
love and spirit as God fills our
hearts with unconditional
love. Then as we learn to love
ourselves, we can also learn
to love others. God empowers us to love if we are open

“Living the Abundant
Life in Jesus”
This morning Pastor John
Wheat spoke on John 10:10
which says: “The thief comes
only to steal, kill and destroy;
I have come that they may
have life and have it to the
full.” The Phillips translation
says: “The thief comes with
the sole intention of stealing, killing and destroying but
I am come to bring them life
and far more abundant life
than they ever had before.”
There are two sides to this:
first the thief comes to steal,
kill and destroy; second Jesus comes that we might have
life and have life more abundantly.
What does the thief come to
do? He comes to steal taking
away so that you can no longer have it. Second, he comes
to kill to the point we can no
longer use it. Third, he comes
to destroy life and mess it up
making this also unusable.
Jesus says He comes to give
us life and give us life abundantly. There are three things
in this. First, Jesus wants us
to be secure and have eternal
life as 1 John 5:13, John 10:2930 and John 3:16 declares.
Second, Jesus wants us to be
obedient to what God asks
of us. There is nothing like a
life spent in true obedience
to God as it is very fulfilling.
Ephesians 2:10, John 15:14
and Proverbs 10:16 say this.
Third, Jesus wants us to have
life with purpose. Romans
8:29, Matthew 5:14-16 show
this. All this abundance God
gives is given to glorify Him
in a life well spent in love with
Jesus as we find ourselves do-
ing things He asks of us thus
making His wonderful name
known.
Would you rather have a
miserable life or one of abundance? The choice is completely yours. Read John 3:16.
Today marked the retirement of Richard Robinson as
Minister of Music. How grateful we are to Richard for all his

"Working to Help
Others"
Operating with the promise that Jesus prays for us
from his time and beyond into ours, the Rev. David W. Collins III, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, chose that as
his topic for the homily on the
seventh Sunday of Easter.
Jesus prays and offers His
support to his disciples and
all who follow as we work for
the unity of the church. With
that support, we can all survive, stick together, and work
for life, the environment, and
a better way. Patterns which

current times might need
changes. Splits of temptations must be ignored as we
face the struggle of assisting
the world and its peoples.
Failure can lead us astray.
We rely on the promise of Jesus found in John 17 to lift
and encourage us to reach
other troubled beings. The
peoples of the world do not
assume the same as we do, so
God calls us to work through
difficulties with hope and
prayer. We want love, not
misery, and God can give support and guidance in our daily lives.
St. Paul's position to visualize how we effect the community is considerable. True
we see our beautiful church
with its serenity, but what we
do within that spills over into
the community and the world
is how we are judged. We are
responsible for what happens
within our congregation and
how the membership meshes with life's requirements.
St. Paul's support ranges from
Angel Food Ministries, open
Vacation Bible School, a team
for Relay for Life, Fifth Quarter football event, and Lutheran World Relief in the form
of financial aid and sending
health kits, layettes, quilts,
school kits, and sewing kits.
The Holy Scriptures, read
by Dorothy Myers, were taken from Acts, Psalm 97, Revelation, and the Gospel of John
17.
Prayers for those who are
ill were made, especially all
who are in nursing facilities
and shut-ins. Medical care is
current for Audrey Miller and
Scotty Davidson while Erna
Borgfeld and Adela Zimmerman will be returned to their
homes. Prayers were made
for victims of natural disaster
in Tennessee and Texas. Constant prayers go out for those
in military services as they
serve as peacemakers in troubled areas.
Barbara Jonas reported on
the successful Relay for Life
and appreciation to the congregation for its support of
the event.
Angel Food pick-up will be
Saturday, May 22. Thank you
for volunteers who help.
South Texas Christian Center news
Contributed By: Yvonne Pogue
The Incredible Father
Sunday, May 16th dawned
as usual but for Jim and
Yvonne Pogue it was a totally
new day for the birth of South
Texas Christian Center would
become real. Doors opened
at 9:30 am and people of all
walks of life began filling into
the Kenedy Civic Center Auditorium.
As services started Pastor
Jim opened by saying what
does Christ in my heart mean
for you and me? This is very
personal added Pastor and
we will be experiencing the
love of God unlike anything
we have ever experienced.
Jim then introduced his lovely wife, Yvonne, Earl and Linda Dowd, Louis and Aimee
Garibay and his mother, Mac
Pogue.
A beautiful skit was performed by the Pogue and
Garibay kids as the story of
creation was narrated from
beginning to end and what
God did to bring about the redemption of mankind. It was
truly awesome!
Using Luke 15:11-31, Pastor
taught on The Prodigal Son.
The Father in this story represents Father God. The oldest
son a high achiever, diligent
in his responsibilities and at
the same time has an inflated ego and lacks compassion.
His younger brother not an
achiever becomes a pain to
big brother as constantly he’s
told to do his work. Finally the
younger brother goes to his
Father asking for his inheritance. The Father loves both
sons and gives each a free will
just as God does us. He allows his prodigal son to go off
squandering his money on
wild living. Soon losing all his
money he comes to his senses
saying I will go back and say
to my Father, I have sinned
against heaven and you and
am not worthy to be called
your son- make me as one of
your hired servants. His Father watches everyday for his
lost son and seeing him in the
distance runs after him puts
his best robe on him, a ring
on his finger, and sandals on
his feet and prepares a feast
and calls him son! His oldest
son comes back and seeing
the party is upset but told by
his Father all has always been
available to him. Pastor Jim
closed and asked with which
brother we identified and
asked that we would allow
God to speak to our hearts.
Come be blessed! South

The Wisdom of God’s
Creatures
Everyone needs models to
imitate as they grow up. We
can look at some of God’s
creatures - some very hard to
"love" and "admire", but the
Bible teaches us that they are
special and make very good
teachers.
From Job 12: 7 10, we read these words:
"But ask the animals, and
they will teach you, or the
birds of the air,
and they will tell you.
Or speak to the earth, and it
will teach you.
Or let the fish of the sea inform you.
Which of these does not
know that the hand of the
Lord has done this.
In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of
all mankind."
From Proverbs 30: 24 - 28
we read words written by
Agur:
"Four things on this earth
are small, yet they are extremely wise:
Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up
their food in the summer.
Coneys are creatures of little power, yet they make their
home in the crags;
locusts have not kings,
yet they advance together in
ranks:
a lizard can be caught with
the hand, yet they are found
in king’s palaces."
Looking at the ant we know
that an ant is tireless and
strong. It can carry ten to fifty
times its own weight! In comparative terms that would
mean a 150 pound man could
carry an object 1,500 to 7,500
pounds. But more important,
these words tell us that ants
are constantly making preparation for the future. They
never rest. So we, like the ant,
must constantly prepare, going tirelessly about the work
of the Lord, ready with his armor to do our part in his work.
The second creature mentioned is the coney, sometimes translated to be an Arabian mouse. They are small
and weak, yet they have the
wisdom to find security in
the crags or rocks. The spiritual comparison is compelling. As Christians, we know
our weakness and know that
when we venture far from
our Rock, Jesus Christ, we become vulnerable. Our refuge
is with the Lord; without Him
we have no security.
The third creature is the locust. A single locust is hardly
noticeable; it is harmless and
insignificant. But when locusts travel together they get
the world’s attention. The importance of working together
is clearly seen in Christ’s establishment of the church. We
must pull together to change
the world, just as Jesus did
when he sent his apostles out
two by two to establish his
Obituaries
churches, depending on local
people to help them.
The final creature mentioned in Proverbs 30 is the
lizard. We know that a lizard
can be held with the hand,
but they are small, ugly, and
scaley. Although the are not
warm, cuddly creatures , they
can be found in a king’s palace. In ways we are like the
lizards; there is nothing warm
and cuddly about us, as we
are poor, miserable sinners.
In the eyes of the world we are
nobodies. Yet, some day, because of the grace of God, we
will be found in the palace of
the King.
Agur brings us four small,
yet extremely wise creatures.
We can learn from them as we
can from many more of God’s
John Abel Lerma was 48
creatures. There are times years old and resided in
when we might just want to Karnes City, Texas. He passed
sit back and enjoy God’s creations. What is more pleasant than sitting outside in the
summer watching the lightening bugs and wondering
" How do they do that?" Just
remember these words from
Proverbs 22: 2 which read,
"the rich and poor have this
in common: the Lord is the
maker of them all."
We praise God for the wonderful spring rains. We ask
His healing in Nancy Avant,
Willie Gabraith, and John
Vickers. We prayer for the
Family of Delilah Coan Morgan and for the Family of Willie Spreen, Jr.

Wright
met his future wife, Dorothy Whaley. They were married on Dec. 6, 1969 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in
Longview, Texas. Willard and
Dorothy enjoyed 41 happy
years together devoted to one
another and to their family.
Willard worked as an independent contractor, owned
and operated Wright Tractor
and Equipment Co., and was
a Certified Farm Equipment
Appraiser. He loved helping
people and he loved the business of farming and ranching.
In 2002 he and Dorothy relocated to his mother’s family
ranch in Peggy, Texas where
he built their home and a deer
proof fence surrounding his
ranch. Later, Willard built a
cabin on Choke Canyon Lake
where he enjoyed fishing with
his family and friends. But
above all, Willard loved his
family and lived his life devoted to his Catholic faith and
those he loved.
Willard served as an altar
boy at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church for many years.
He later attended Christ the
King Catholic Church in
Kilgore and after moving to
Peggy, Texas, he attended St.
Elizabeth’s Mission Catholic
Church. His best friend and
companion during these last
years has been his son, Aar-
on, who showed devotion
and love, seldom leaving his
father’s side during his illness.
Willard Earl Wright, Jr., age
67, of Peggy, Texas, entered
into eternal rest on Tuesday,
May 11, 2010 after a twelve
year courageous battle with
cancer. Willard was born to
the late Willard Wright Sr. and
the late Agnes Wright on September 21, 1942 in San Antonio, Texas. Willard graduated
from Longview High School
in 1962 and from Kilgore College in 1964. He then graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree from
Texas A & M, and joined
the Air Force following graduation. In 1969, he returned
to East Texas to pursue a
Master’s Degree at SFA, and
Willard is preceded in
death by his cherished son,
Scott Wright; his mother and
father, Willard Wright, Sr. and
Agnes Wright; and his brothers, Larry and Jerry Wright.
He is survived by his devoted
wife, Dorothy Whaley Wright,
and his wonderful son, Aaron Wright; his sisters, Carolyn
and husband, Wayne Deakins, and Loretta and husband,
Bill Barnes; his mother-inlaw, Sarah Whaley; his sistersin-law, Betty and husband,
Frank Owens, Sue Wright, and
Alice Wright; and many nieces and nephews.

celebrated Saturday, May 15,
