The committee is collecting private donations and pledges.The members of the committee are Shelton Grona, Bryan Luedecke, Danny McBride, Toby Ressman, Bubba Whitehead, Demetric Wells and Huey Chancellor.

Grona said the money will be used for new turf. He said the committee will raise at

Trey Schneider, president of PBK Sports gave an estimate for the new turf during the April 21 Edna Independent School District Board of Trustees meeting. Schneider said it would cost more than $800,000 to install a synthetic turf.

Jessica Coleman Staff Writer It’s April, and in Edna, that means it is clean up time again.

The City of Edna will hold its sixth annual Clean Sweep on May 1 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and May 2 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 404 N. Kleas, under the big water tower.

Sheila Miller, code enforcement officer for the City of Edna, began the first clean sweep and said the primary goals of the event are to curb illegal dumping and beautify the city, although there are many reasons to participate, especially if you have old tires laying around.

“We accept tires because it

keeps them out of ditches and vacant lots. When you keep old tires at your house, it encourages mosquitos,” said Miller, “Water will collect in them and mosquitos will breed in those tires. They also bring roaches.”

Only passenger tires will be accepted. Tractor tires and 18wheeler tires will not be allowed.

Along with tires, the city is accepting most items that are too large for residents to put into their blue garbage cans, including mattresses, box springs, furniture, outdoor toys, plumbing fixtures like toilets, appliances, carpet, and car batteries.

Students construct cross for Methodist church

Page 2A

Jackson County Herald-Tribune

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

Jessica Coleman Staff Writer Drive by the Methodist Church in Edna, and you’ll likely see a new feature outside.

A metal cross with the “Methodist flame,” built by the Ag Mechanics class at Edna High School stands on the Allen St. side of the church.

“It was donated by The Round Table Sunday school class,” said Gail Jordan, a member of the church, and of the class, an adult Sunday school group which is taught

by Butch Norrell.

Kurtis Koop, the teacher of the boys who created the

cross, said it took three or four weeks to build.

“We probably could have done it in a few days,” he said, “but I only had one group of kids working on it, and I only have them an hour a day.”

The builders, Derek Arnold, Clinton Andel, Lane Hadley, and Dalton Martin, created the 10-foot-high metal cross in a computer program before they began cutting, welding, and polishing.

“What you see on the side of the building, we saw on a computer,” said Koop, “That’s handy when you have customers that you’re making things for. I showed it to Gail

[Jordan] before we built it.”

The four students then cut the metal, welded it, cleaned it up, and painted it with a metal grade paint.

“I’ve had these kids for three or four years now,” said Koop, “and they are kind of my go-to guys when I need projects done,” Pastor Adam Knapp expressed his gratitude for the cross, saying “I am so grateful. I am really excited that it was an effort by some of the community folks. The cross and flame are a symbol of the United Methodist Church, and is one of those things that tell the story of who we are and what we believe.”

Jessica Coleman Staff Writer Annie Mae Gloeckner may be almost 103 years old – “102 1/2,” according to her daughter, Bonnie Johnson – but she doesn’t subscribe to the idea that seniors can’t live a full life.

Annie Mae started painting as a hobby when she was 73 years old. Nearly 30 years later, she is still at it, and is coming to Jackson County to show her art at the Texana Center for the Arts.

Bonnie, who described herself as “the migrant of the family” and has been in 49 states, takes photos of her travels, as does the rest of the family, and Annie Mae paints them. Barns, flamingoes, mountains, anything they see while travelling or even in their own back yards, Annie Mae will paint, although she says she isn’t a fan of painting people.

At 102 years old, Annie Mae Gloeckner is a testament to living life to the fullest into the senior years.

“She still paints. She still gardens. She still mows her lawn,” said Morris Williams of the Art Center.

She is also an author, having penned Czechs in Wharton County (Czech footprints across the bluebonnet fields of Texas), which was published in 1985.

Annie Mae’s work will hang in the Art Center on Tuesday, May 5 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

About 20 of her paintings will be exhibited, including some of her early work.

Center’s newest exhibiting artist is 102 years young

I am a 31 year old, petite woman, who probably couldn’t run out of this office if it was crumbling around me without stopping to catch my breath on the way.

I don’t know what possessed me to sign up for a kickboxing class, but here I sit at my desk with aching legs and triceps that are all but screaming profanities at me.

There was a time that I was quite an athlete, but that time was more years ago than I really care to count (I may be having a bit of an existential crisis over being “in my 30s”).

However, despite my throbbing calf muscles, I have to say there is something I really love about it already.

I’ve always loved embarking on new adventures and I really did need something that was just for me.

I work hard and I work a lot. I spend another 20 or so hours a week rescuing animals and running them to veterinary appointments, bathing them, showing them to potential adopters and caring for foster pets. Animal rescue is fulfilling and rewarding in a multitude of ways, but it isn’t

Jessica Coleman Staff Writer

just for me. It’s volunteering for a cause I believe in. It has benefits for me, but it is for the animals.

I am also a mother, a wife, and a loyal friend, all things that have amazing benefits, but I needed something that I did because I wanted to for myself.

That something turned out to be kickboxing. My daughter was already enrolled in karate classes, and the kickboxing class is directly after hers. She can run and play in the back while I practice, so I don’t even have to hire a sitter.

I have to say, even after only a couple of classes, I am absolutely hooked. There’s something empowering about punching the snot out of a bag, and surviving two hours of cardio when I had been pretty convinced they were going to have to haul me out on a stretcher.

As a 100 lb. woman, I have never felt exactly powerful –

until now – even though at my current skill level, my legs are doing less “kicking,” and more “flailing desperately.” I’m sure what I do in class looks a lot more like drowning than it does anything resembling kickboxing, but I am looking forward to learning and improving, and maybe even one day getting through a class without falling over!

I am excited about getting into shape. My current body type could be described as “adolescent boy,” and I think I could get used to being referred to as “athletic.”

What I know is, even considering the challenges, I come out of class feeling better than I did when I went in (at least emotionally. My legs and lungs would tell you a different story).

I don’t think I will become a world champion kickboxer, but I do think I’ll one day throw a punch that looks like

an actual punch, and I’m pretty excited about that. I am also enthusiastic about having something in my life that is “just because I want to.”

As a mother, rescuer, wife, and working woman, I often forget I have emotional needs – needs that are only my own – and that it is ok to fulfill those. So I’m doing it.

I believe many of us, as mothers and wives, forget to fill our own needs, or even feel guilty about doing so.

I love my family. I treasure every moment with my children and husband, but I have found that it’s ok to say “I want to do this, so I think I will.”

I can’t wait for my next class. I can’t wait to learn a new kick or punch, or how to block.

Here’s hoping my next column isn’t about nursing a pulled muscle or broken tooth.

April is autism awareness month; Autism Spectrum Disorders involve problems in primarily two areas – social comSommerfeld munication (verbal and non-verbal language) and social interaction, and restricted interests/repetitive behaviors, including problems with insistence on routines, hyper-or hypo-reactivity to sensory items such as textures, odors and colors.

ASD is commonly accompanied by various medical problems but also nutritional problems as well. The hyperor hypo-reactivity to sensory items can present challenges to diet and nutrition.

Children with ASD often refuse to try foods with certain textures, colors, smells.

According to an article in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 69% of ASD children are unwilling to try new foods and 46% had rituals surrounding their eating habits.

This can be very challenging for parents as refusal of foods at mealtime may result in a negative behavior response such as tantrums or aggression. This selectiveness may cause children to miss out on nutrients they would receive by eating a variety of other foods. Due to this deficiency, some children may also develop pica (eating of non-food substances such as ice, chalk, detergent).

According to an article published in the Journal of

Autism and Developmental Disorders, children with ASD are at an increased risk of being overweight (18%) and obese (17%). The cause of the increase is not known, however medications commonly used to treat ASD such as Risperidone and Aripiprazole can cause increased appetite and weight gain.

There are some nutritional therapies being tried to help alleviate some of the common nutrition related problems associated with ASD. To help gastrointestinal issues, which occurs in 30-70% of ASD children, a gluten-free, caseinfree diet has been suggested.

This is a difficult option for many parents due to the increased cost of food and extra time for preparation that is required. Probiotics are another form of intervention tried for GI problems which has had good results.

Supplementation for common nutrient deficiencies (Vitamin B6, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids) as well as supplements for metabolic abnormalities (vitamin B-12, folic acid, TMG & DMG, Glutathione) are also all being tested to determine if there is any benefit in helping children with ASD. Autism is not just a one problem disease, it is multifactorial. Please remember that when working with, interacting, or treating those affected with the disease as well as their caregivers.

There is no cure at this time and much research is being done on ways to help treat the symptoms and effects of autism.

By Lisa Shapiro Staff Writer People living in the Ganado Independent School District will still have a total property tax rate below $1.20 during the 2015-16 school year if the proposed budget is approved by the board of trustees.

In the first draft of the budget the total maintenance and operations tax rate is $1.11 and the total interest and sinking rate is .0883 bringing the overall property tax to $1.1983, which is slightly less than last year’s overall property tax rate.

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

“We’re taking out of the maintenance and operations side to pay our bond payments,” GISD Superintendent John Hardwick said. “Our interest and sinking revenue is generating $465 million.”

In the 2014-15 budget the total amount in expenditures is projected to be $8,452,989 and the total amount in revenue is $8,452,989, which means this year’s budget was balanced.

The school property tax for 2014-15 is $1.1995 for people living in GISD. The total maintenance and operations tax rate is $1.17 and the inter-

est and sinking rate is $0.0295, bringing the overall property tax to $1.1995.

“We will most likely be a Chapter 41 District by the 2015-16 school year,” Hardwick said.

The first draft of the Ganado Independent School District school budget was presented during a budget workshop on April 16.

He told board members during the workshop that preliminary values won’t come in until April 24.

Hardwick said the school’s fiscal year is from July 1 to June 30.

We seek Bible answers to Bible questions. We hope you enjoy this column and will participate in sending your questions to us to use in this column. It is our intent to get everyone to reading their Bibles and searching the scriptures. We believe we are guided in our affairs today by God’s Word, the Bible. We believe that if everyone followed the scriptures, there would be no division in the religious community. We seek therefore, to center our minds on what the Bible says, so that we all might be one.

(1Cor. 1:10) Please read Rom. 1:16, 2 Timothy 2:15, & 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

Is Tithing Required Today?

The practice of tithing in the Bible was the giving of a tenth part of one’s income or goods. During the time of the Patriarchs we find two examples of tithes that were freewill offerings. Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of the spoils after the defeat of Chedorlaomer and his allies (Genesis 14:18-20).

Jacob promised to give God a tithe of all his possessions if he returned to his father’s house following his journey to seek a wife (Genesis 28:20-22). However, under the Law of Moses, the people of Israel were commanded to give a tithe (Leviticus 27:30-34). Today, there are churches that demand a tithe from their members. But is tithing commanded by God today?

For tithing to be required today, the Law of Moses would have to be binding today. Yet, the Bible reveals that Christ fulfilled the first covenant and instituted a new covenant which ended the Law of Moses (Ephesians 2:15; Colossians 2:14; Hebrews 8:7-13). If one goes to the Law of Moses for authority for their faith in practice on one point, be it tithing or circumcision, then “he is obligated to keep the whole law” (Galatians 5:3). Yet among those churches who require tithing it is rare to find one that demands animal sacrifices, keeping the Sabbath, keeping the appointed feasts of the Law, or going to Jerusalem to worship.

The truth is that today we are obligated to keep the “law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2). Christ’s law does not call for tithing, but to give according to one’s ability, “as he may prosper” (1 Corinthians 16:2). Christ’s law calls for giving voluntary, bountifully, cheerfully and purposefully (2 Corinthians 9:67). Christ’s law instructs Christians to contribute on “the first day of every week” when they assemble with the local church (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). Christ’s law teaches that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). The love of God and Christ will prompt the true worshipper to give properly (2 Corinthians 8:1-5).

107 E. Rogers St., Ganado, Tx 361.771.3315 • www.ganadonr.com April is National Humor Month

Did you know that an average preschool-age child laughs up to 400 times per day, while an average adult laughs only 17 times per day?

National Humor Month was founded in 1976 by best-selling humorist Larry Wilde, Director of the Carmel Institute of Humor. It is designed to heighten public awareness on how the joy and therapeutic value of laughter can improve health, boost morale, increase communication skills and enrich the quality of one’s life.

Laughter transcends all cultures and religions because it is the medicine of the soul and the sound of its healing. It is contagious. It impacts your physical health and well-being. The idea of laughing and the use of humor as a tool to lift ailing spirits is growing. Scientific research now indicates that the curative power of laughter and its ability to relieve debilitating stress and burnout may indeed be one of the great medical discoveries of our times.

Laughter: Reduces pain by releasing endorphins Boosts your immune system and speeds healing Works your abdominal muscles and relaxes other muscles Helps you overcome negative feelings Opens your blood vessels and may reduce risk of heart attack Raises energy expenditure and increases heart rate Laughing for 15 minutes can burn 10-40 calories per day So, take the time to laugh it is good for the heart. Call GNRC 361-771-3315 for your skilled and long-term care for your loved ones.

Edna artisan designs casket for singing legend

Page 10A

Jessica Coleman Staff Writer On April 14, the world lost a legend. Singer Percy Sledge, known for his classic hit When a Man Loves a Woman, passed away at the age of 74. He was laid to rest in Baton Rouge, La. on April 24, and in attendance was Edna’s own Trey Ganem.

Ganem, owner of custom casket company Trey Ganem Designs, created a personalized casket for the artist and delivered it himself, accompanied by his wife Michele.

“It’s kind of funny,” said Ganem, “with what I do, people contact me and tag me [on Facebook] when people die. A friend of mine called

Jackson County Herald-Tribune

me and said ‘I know the manager. I’ll call and let him know what you do, because we want something special for him,’ Then I got a text that said ‘this is Percy Sledge’s daughter.’ I was thinking ‘this is so cool,’” he said. “It’s super cool. I met a lot of great people. They were coming up to me and thanking me. His funeral was like being at the Academy Awards, and he won everything.”

The sleek, black and white casket, adorned with a working microphone, a picture of Sledge in his youth, and the words “Rock N Roll Hall of Fame,” wowed the family, something Ganem said he

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

loves about what he does.

“This isn’t really a job for me,” he said, “this is something I do to provide a service for a family that is special and touches their lives,” he said, “I enjoy doing it. What I’m doing is for the right reason.”

He also said he prays before and after the creation of each casket.

Ganem describes the Sledge family as “my new family,” and says they treated him the same, even inviting him to attend the funeral of their beloved relative.

Ganem’s creations can be seen at www.treyganemdesigns.com.

Edna businessman Trey Ganem designed the casket of music legend Percy Sledge for the funeral held April 24 in Baton Rouge, La. Ganem and his wife, Michele, attended the service.

Edna Police Reports

Jackson County Herald-Tribune

Page 11A

On April 14, police responded to a home in the 900 block of Fourth for a report of a damaged vehicle. The complainant reported that sometime between the evening hours of the day before and the time she called someone “keyed” her Kia Optima while it was parked at her residence.

On April 16, police responded to an apartment complex in the 1400 block of N. Wells for a report of a juvenile threatening another child with a knife. The caller reported that her son was playing near the basketball courts when an acquaintance held him down while holding a knife. The caller said that when she arrived the juvenile was on top of her son but he had already put the knife in his pocket. She took the knife from the young man.

Several other young people present said that they either saw the 13 year old with the knife or were threatened by him with the knife.

On April 20, a Victoria woman called Edna Police

and reported that her husband’s debit card had been used at a business in the 1000 block of N. Wells in Edna without his permission.

Someone used the card to purchase gift cards.

On April 22, police responded to a home in the 1300 block of Green for a report of an unwanted person at the home. Police responded and knocked on the door but did not get an immediate response. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Dispatcher called the complainant back and was told by the caller that the unwanted person would not let her answer the door. After some time passed the unwanted person, identified as Joe David Gutierrez of Edna, opened the door. The caller told officers that Gutierrez would not let her come to the door and was attempting to prevent her from talking to the Dispatcher. Gutierrez was arrested and charged with Unlawful Restraint and Interfering with an Emergency Telephone Call.

On April 23, police were observing traffic at Live Oak and Pumphrey when they observed a vehicle fail to stop at the four way stop sign. Police stopped the car on S. Pumphrey and identified the driver as Billy Watkins of Edna. Watkins was found to have a suspended driver license and was arrested for Driving While License Invalid.

On April 24, police stopped a vehicle on Hwy 59 for a traffic violation. The driver was identified as Fabian Hopkins of Fresno.

Police searched Hopkins person and found a personal use amount of marijuana in a plastic baggie. Officers also found several marijuana “roaches” in the vehicle.

Hopkins was arrested for Possession of Marijuana, less than 2 ounces.

On April 25, police attempted to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation at Cypress and N. Wells. The driver of the vehicle fled east on Main street to Peabody, then on Peabody to First, before

crashing into a ditch in the 900 block of First. Officers witnessed the driver flee from the car, a Pontiac G5.

After an extended foot pursuit, which did not result in the apprehension of the offender, officers went back to secure the vehicle. Officers located a baggie of suspected marijuana and a “cookie” of crack cocaine. The Pontiac was towed from the scene.

Charges are pending further investigation.

On April 25, police stopped a vehicle at W. Cedar and N. Colorado for a traffic violation. Officers identified the driver as Dakota Sheblak of Edna. Police searched Sheblak’s vehicle and recovered two small baggies containing a personal use amount of marijuana and another baggie containing two Alprazolam pills. Sheblak was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance in Penalty Group 3 =<28 grams and Possession of Marijuana = <2 ounces.

By Lisa Shapiro Staff Writer A bridge on County Road 303 will be widened after commissioners approved a proposal for the project during Jackson County Commissioners’ Court on April 27.

Precinct 3 Commissioner Johnny Belicek said the proposal to widen the bridge is more than $42,000.

Jackson County Judge Dennis Simons said Texas Department of Transportation oversees all of the bridges in

the county and each bridge has to meet TxDOT’s requirements. Simons said the county will be paying for the bridge.

In other news, commissioners approved the disposal of surplus computers and electronics through the City of

Edna’s Electronic Waste during the annual Clean Sweep on Friday, May 1 through Saturday, May 2.

Commissioners also approved a grant adjustment notice to close 2013 Operation Stone Garden.

As spring weather draws more motorcyclists onto Texas roadways, the Texas Department of Transportation is launching its “Share the Road: Look Twice for Motorcycles” campaign to reduce crashes and save lives.

The campaign – part of National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in May – urges drivers to be extra cautious, because motorcyclists are more difficult to see and less protected than other motorists.

“We see far too many deadly motorcycle crashes on Texas roadways, so we’re telling drivers to be extra diligent when sharing the road,” said TxDOT Execu-

tive Director LtGen Joe Weber, USMC (Ret). “We’re constantly told drivers simply didn’t see the motorcyclist until it’s too late. As drivers, it is incumbent upon us to be fully aware of our surroundings at all times and take proactive measures to ensure the safety of motorcyclists.”

Over the past five years, 2,354 motorcyclists have been killed in Texas. In 2014, Texas motorcycle crashes killed 455 motorcyclists. Half of the motorcyclists killed were not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. One-third of motorcycle fatalities took place at intersections. Approximately 49 percent of

motorcyclists who died in 2014 were riding in rural areas of the state.

To promote motorcycle safety awareness, TxDOT is partnering with local law enforcement agencies and Texas Patriot Guard Riders to hold motorcycle processions in select Texas cities.

The riders will carry oversized flags emblazoned with the slogans “Look Twice for Motorcycles” and “Share the Road.” Patriot Guard Riders are volunteers known for leading funeral processions for fallen soldiers and first responders.

Additionally, TxDOT is traveling to multiple cities to participate in festivals and other special events. This

year’s TxDOT display includes a special glass-panel truck showcasing a motorcycle on a virtual rural Texas roadway. Visitors will be able to step inside the truck to have their picture taken and shared via social media.

They also are encouraged to take a pledge to “Look Twice” for motorcycles.

When sharing the road, TxDOT encourages drivers to check their mirrors, leave extra room between vehicles and use turn signals to help prevent crashes and save lives.

For more information, contact TxDOT Media Relaat tions MediaRelations@txdot.gov or (512) 463-8700.

Industrial Cobras named Co-district champions

Coach Zach Marlow said the game between the Cobras and Hallettsville was played at a high level by both teams.

Although the team lost 1-0, Marlow said that it was the best the Cobras had played all year even though the outcome didn’t go their way.

“You have to give it to Hallettsville, their pitcher was dominating and they had a few timely hits when they needed them,” he said.

There were no errors on both sides, while Garrett

Sparkman pitched the game and had two walks, six strikeouts and five hits.

The Cobras played Edna on April 24 and won, 6-3.

Dylan Kruppa was the winning pitcher, only allowing six hits.

“Brock Werckle had a great night at the plate, going 2-3 and scoring two runs,” Marlow said. “We left guys on all night and just couldn’t get that one hit to get us rolling early.”

The team was down 3-1 in

the sixth inning, but the Cobras found ways to get on base, while Wesley Sliva and Kruppa came through for their team, both with two runs batted in to give the Cobras the lead, 5-3.

“We found a way to get in one more in the seventh, giving Kruppa a little more help to go finish the game,” Marlow added.

The Cobras are 10-12 overall and 8-2 in district play.

Their future games were still undetermined at press time.

The Ganado Maidens went to victory again in a game against the Louise Hornets on April 21 with a final score of 10-0. Cheyenne Galindo pitched the game for the win and had one home run and six strikeouts.

Leading hitters for the team were Alexis Mojica and Taylor Mirelez with a triple each, and Sarah Novak with double.

Mirelez and Hannah Janssen stole two bases each, while Kendall Alvarez stole a base.

Alvarez, Mojica and Novak each had a walk.

The win against the Hornets raised their confidence, but the game against Weimar on April 25 gave them a loss, with a score of 1-12. Galindo pitched for the loss with 12 hits, 12 runs, and four walks.

Mojica, Mirelez and Callis each had a hit, while Galindo had a run batted in.

The Maidens are 6-7 overall and 3-1 in district. Their next game was still undetermined at press time.

Industrial Cobra Sarah Kusak slides into third base and Cowgirl Shermeka Thompson during a game on April 24. Cobras won out against the ‘Girls with a final score of 11-7.

The Industrial Cobra softball team played three games last week and have been fighting for the runner-up spot in the district standings for the state playoffs. On April 20 they traveled to Palacios and beat the Sharkettes 12-7. Landry Mikulec pitched the game and for the win, while her, Kasi Bethke, Elizabeth Kolodzieczyk and Katie Sparkman were the leading hitters for that game.

The Cobras played the following night against Hallettsville, but suffered a hard loss, 11-1. Mikulec pitched the loss that night, but only gave up four hits, according to Coach Ted Malek.

“We had six errors that night, and when you play a team like Hallettsville, that’s too many errors,” he reflected.

On April 24 Industrial paired up against Edna for an-

other district game and won 11-7, but not without Edna giving them a run for their money. Bethke had two run home runs and Landry Mikulec pitched the game.

“The girls were ready to play and hit the ball,” Malek said. “Both teams hit the ball well.”

The Cobras are tied with Rice at press time for runnerup. They are 7-3 in district and 16-5-1 for the season.

A bit of luck results in an unforgettable experience

Page 2B

by Millie Diaz Staff Writer Steve Spalek’s luck was working for him last July at the Blue Wave Boat Tournament in Port Aransas. After a last-minute entry, Spalek won a drawing out of 80 people to be featured on the popular Texas Fish & Game cover. Check an April 2015 edition of the magazine and you can find Spalek on the left with a fishing rod watching his friend Mike Rutledge handle a trout in a dipnet.

“Mike Rutledge is a fishing friend of mine,” Spalek said. “For at least an hour he picked up that fish about 45 times,” he chuckled. “They wanted to get [a photo with] the wording on the boat, the motor, us, the dipnet with the fish – all while telling us not to look at them. It was pretty exciting, but Mike was tired

Jackson County Herald-Tribune

of picking up that fish.”

Look for the bit of pink behind Spalek and you will see his wife, Ve r o n i c a , trying not to be in the picture.

Spalek, Ve r o n i c a , Rutledge and his wife Dianna, made up a team for Blue the Wave tournament, which is held every year for Blue Wave boat owners. After Spalek’s name was announced, the people of Texas Fish & Game and Blue Wave Boats asked to follow the team the next day to take a picture of them catching a fish.

“It wasn’t a good fishing day for us,” he said. “I did catch a trout at the end of the tournament, but the people had to get back to do other things.

I won second place in the men’s division with that trout, though.”

Ve r o n i c a said she got as close as she could to the ferry so Steve could jump out and run to get his fish weighed in on time.

“He didn’t want to enter the raffle, but our friends were teasing him and pushing him to,” Veronica said.

“A friend agreed to go with him and Steve was the second to last person to enter.

He wasn’t even paying attention when they called his number out,” she smiled.

“Oh no, I won,” Steve said in a subdued fashion. “That was my reaction.” His wife giggled in response.

The thing that makes his luck bittersweet is Steve has wished his parents, Roxie and August Spalek, were alive to see the cover, because he knows they would be proud of him. Roxie passed away in August of 2009 and August in December of 2012.

“I always told people if you let my dad fish in the commode he was going to catch a fish in there,” Steve said. “My dad would’ve been grinning like a possum and wishing it was him on the

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

cover. He loved taking pictures. I’m the bashful one.”

Steve and August fished often together, and Steve attributes his love of hunting and fishing to his father.

“His dad was always photo ready, he always had this smile that came out,” Veronica said.

Steve works at J&J Piping Supply in Ganado and Veronica works with the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services in

Victoria. They have a cat Rocky, that used to go fishing with them.

The Spaleks said they’ve probably bought about 20 issues to share with family, and Steve said he’s signed about six copies. Because many memories are made there every year, they said they plan on going to this year’s tournament in Galveston, and hopefully make the tournament as unforgettable as the last.

From left, Coach Rick Ragsdale, Ganado Superintendent Dr. John Hardwick, Douglas Holt and Andrew Mann of Energy Transfer, and Indians Cody Plant and Cameron Martinez.

The Edna Cowgirls played the Industrial Cobras on April 24 and lost, 7-11.

Coach Lindsey Moehlig said the ‘Girls put everything they could into the game and made goals for themselves to meet.

“Unfortunately we came up shy for the win and a playoff seat but with the way the season ended and how much the girls improved since the first day,” she said.

Offensively, Chasity Richmond and Kim Ortolon had one run, while Kirstie Soto had a three run home run and Ria Hart had a two-run home run. Ashley Soto had a double and a run, while Brittany

The Good Ole Days

By Rev. Andrew Schroer Anniversaries are fun. This Sunday, the church which I serve celebrates its 50th anniversary. Over the last few months, in anticipation of the big day, former pastors have visited and preached for us. Our ladies published a cookbook. We wrote a history of our congregation. Two weeks ago, we celebrated a “Retro Sunday” in which we dressed and worshiped just as the original members would have in 1965.

At times like these, we can’t help but be a bit nostalgic. Our thoughts hark back to a simpler, more innocent time. As the years pass, I see our society becoming more and more obsessed with sex. I see prejudice and politics tearing our country apart. I see Christians slowly drifting from God and church. The older I get, the more I yearn for the good ole days.

But were the good ole days really that good?

Every generation at some point suffers from what I call “the Good Ole Days Syndrome.”

As the years pass, the world of our younger years is transformed in our minds into a time of innocence – a time when people treated each other with more respect, a time when the world wasn’t so cynical or cold, a time when people were more Christian and moral.

Now, I am not denying that the morals of our society in many areas of life continue to decline. Jesus said it would be that way. The world will continually become more evil as we wait for Judgment Day. The love of most will grow cold.

But is our generation really that much worse than the last?

Yes, we live in an oversexualized society. Then again, 50 years ago we were in the middle of the sexual revolution of the sixties. Our country was bitterly divided politically by the war in Vietnam. The racial divide in our country was violent and virulent. Women were often mistreated and demeaned.

Wise, old King Solomon once said, “There is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). The epidemic of sin has infested humanity since Adam and Eve. Though the outward symptoms and manifestations of that disease change with time, the root cause remains the same. People were just as selfish and lustful and full of bitterness and envy fifty years ago as they are today.

Thankfully, the truth of God’s Word is the same with every passing generation. God’s promise of forgiveness has no expiration date. Just as God guided and protected our forefathers, he promises to be by our side and get us through every pain and problem of our present world.

Though it’s fun to look back and remember the good ole days – though it’s important to see God’s grace which has brought us to this day – as Christians, we don’t yearn for the good ole days. As we remember the past, we need to be careful not to get stuck in it.

Rather, let’s look around and say, “God, what can I do to thank and serve you today.”

Let’s look ahead to the happiness and heaven which Jesus won for us. The good ole days are nothing compared to the good “new” days which are to come.
