Band earns Superior ratings
at Region contest; on to Area
by Sara Sanders
On Saturday, October 17, the Junction
Golden Eagle Band performed at the UIL
Regional Marching Band Competition in
Brady under the direction of Dan Wynn, drum
major Lynsey Gold, and co-drum major Abby
Jackson. After receiving awards at pre-UIL
competitions such as “Best Brass”, “Best
Percussion”, “Best Woodwinds”, “Best Drum
Major”, and “Best in Class A”, our JHS band
had an optimistic attitude about its impending
competition. The band’s hard work and dedication paid off when its performance of selec-
tions from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Jesus
Christ Superstar”, with solos by Lynsey Gold,
Jairo Dominguez, Coreigh Lawhon, and the
entire JHS Percussion Section, received the
highest rating possible of Ones across the
board. Each member of the band gave 110%
during the competition, as they do at every performance. Hoping to further advance in the
competition, the band will be competing in the
UIL Area Marching Band Competition in
Groesbeck on Saturday, October 24. This year,
the Golden Eagle Band has truly proved its slogan: “Who’s the best band? JHS!”
Congratulations and good luck!
Early in the fourth quarter of Junction’s 41 to 14 victory over Rocksprings, Angora running back Seth Shanklin (6) meets some of the Eagles’ top defenders. Mizael Sauceda (45)
takes him down. Trevor Brawley (55) comes in from the front; Alec Menchaca (3) from the
right; and Jason McKinnerney (5) and Victor Parga (33) arrive on the scene to mop up.

The Junction Eagle
Last Friday night at Eagle
Stadium, the Junction Eagles
handed the Rocksprings
Angoras their first defeat in
the District 29A race, and
improved their own district
record to 4-0. After the 41 to
14 win, the Eagles have this
week off. They will finish the
regular season playing the
Punchers in Mason on
October 30, then hosting the
Menard Yellow Jackets on
November 6.
The Eagles got a bit of a
slow start, managing only
eight yards on their first drive,
but then scored on their next
three possessions, jumping
out to a 21-point lead.
Running backs Ty Stapp
and David Fuentes battered
the Angora defense to the one
yardline, then Eagles quarterback Jason McKinnerney
sneaked into the Rocksprings
end zone. Next, McKinnerney
and the two running backs
marched down to the Rocksprings six, behind the blocking of the Eagles offensive
line. Then, Stapp took the
handoff and jumped over the
scrum piled at the goal line.
The Eagles scored again at
the beginning of the second
quarter when D. Fuentes
headed for pay dirt, saw some
red jerseys ahead, lowered his
shoulder and drove it into an
unfortunate Angora defender.
After each of these touchdowns, Luis Roman kicked
extra points for the Eagles.
At the same time, the
Angoras struggled against a
solid
Eagles
defense.
Junction’s D was not giving
ground. The Angoras gave up
possession on downs on their
first drive. On their next
drive, on second and 16, Tyler

Community support needed during Red Ribbon Week
by Kaycie Sullivan
Red Ribbon Week is a national “drug free”
celebration in memory of Enrique “Kiki”
Camarena. Camarena was a DEA (Drug
Enforcement Administration) Agent who
worked undercover to stop dangerous drug cartels. In 1985, Camarena was killed for keeping
us safe and drug free. He will always be
remembered as a successful agent, loving husband, and caring father, who died protecting
the United States against drugs.
As parents and community members, we are
role models. Please show your support and
wear your red ribbon every day during Red
Ribbon Week. Wearing red ribbons shows our
children that we are united against drugs. Let’s
work together to help our children grow into
law-abiding, drug-free citizens. Please pick up
your ribbon this week (starting Wednesday) at
Super S or the Kimble County Chamber of
Commerce.
Thank you to the Chamber for purchasing
the red ribbons for the community and thank
you to The Junction Eagle, local businesses,
the Sheriff’s Department and Police
Department for their continued support during
Red Ribbon Week.
You can also show support by dressing up
with the students.

Meanderings
by Frederica Wyatt
Michaelmas Daisies, sometimes known as Purple Asters,
have added their hues to the
beauty of autumn colors, and
the time is nigh to get out the
rakes as the "mighty blasts of
October are seizing and
whirling aloft" a myriad of
leaves.
I was amazed on a recent
day to observe an ancient
native Walnut tree near my
parents' home-place. From all
appearances, the tree had met
its demise some time ago,
leaving only a "stump" to
mark its place in the world.
Suddenly, new life has sprung
forth, and green limbs are in
evidence. That old tree
reminds me of the adage,
"truth crushed to earth shall
rise again".
My sincere condolences are
extended to the family of
Nelda Blaylock Carpenter,
who slipped from our midst
last week in Kerrville. She
was laid to rest Thursday in
the Junction Cemetery beside
her late husband, Richard
Carpenter, Jr. Nelda was the
daughter of the late Raymond
and Maudie Fay Cox
Blaylock. Nelda and I were
members of both the London
and Junction Chapters of the
Order of the Eastern Star, and
the Business and Professional
Women's Club of Kimble
County.
Dennis and Betty Smith
were in Coleman on Saturday
to attend funeral services for
his aunt, Partha Smith
McMillan. She passed away
Wednesday, October 14, and
sympathy goes to that family.
Junction Chapter, Order of
the Eastern Star, celebrated its
centennial anniversary Saturday afternoon with a lovely
"open house". A special event
was the awarding of a fiftyyear membership pin and certificate to Martha Martin
Wilson. Making the presentation was Deputy Worthy
Matron Loretta Lindley of
Bandera. Several local members have been recipients of
recognition for a half-century
of service, and two of them,
Dortha Williamson and Jurene
Simmons, were among those
in attendance at Saturday's
observance.
Out-of-town
guests, local OES members,
Masons, and others, were on
hand for the memorable occasion.
Paco Moore and his wife,
Marie, of Bandera, were
among several persons who
traveled from afar. Paco told
me he is a descendant of
Maxfield Henslee, who is
buried in the Little Saline
Cemetery.
One of Friday's visitors at
Kimble Historical Museum
was Harold D. Jobes of the
Austin vicinity. He and Cheryl
are in the process of building a
new home at Leander. It is
always a pleasure to visit with
Harold, as we share a mutual
interest in the history of this
area. While he was here, he
left a contribution to the building fund in memory of my
brother, Fane Burt.
Bill Hoglan of Williamson
County sent an inquiry, via email, concerning one of his
former co-workers, the late
John C. Cowsert. He related
information we already knew
- John served in the Navy during World War II and later
worked for the FAA. (He was
also Junction's first Chief of
Police in 1956.) Bill wanted to
know the location of the final
resting place of "this Texas
character". John and his brother, Dave, are both buried in
the Copperas Cemetery that
had been donated by their
ancestor, D. P. Cowsert in
1890.
Beth Mahill of Mayhill,
New Mexico, sent information the hunting season in the
Sacramento Mountains begins
in September and continues
through January. The long
period covers hunters with
mussel loaders, bows, rifles,
and includes some persons
with handicaps.
Joanie
Puryear
of
Fredericksburg wrote that an
application had been submitted for an historical marker for
the Taylor Family Cemetery.
The site has received designation as an historic cemetery
and is located off Highway 87
on Taylor Road in DeWitt
County.
Kit Fuller of Los Angeles,
California, forwarded me an
item from the Ukiah City
Press, 31 Jan. 1879: "Jimmy
Potter writes from Kimbell
county, Texas, under date of
december 18th , to his brother-in-law, M. C. Briggs, and
the following is an extract-We
are all well at present, except
William, who has been sick
about three months. (According to Kit, this probably refers
to James' young son,
William.) Tom Potter and
family are enjoying good
health. Myself and Tom are
fixing to go on a buffalo hunt,
and if you were here, you
could see more fun that we did
on that Scott Valley run. I
killed a fat bear the other day
that cut six inches clear fat on
the back. I run one all day yes-
terday, but failed to come up
with him, as the wind was
blowing so hard I lost the
dogs. I have me a ranch and a
few cows, hogs, and horses.
Tom has a good place, and
some seventy head of stock.
(This was on the headwaters
of Cajac Creek.) Brother Bill
(County Judge William
Potter) raised the best crop on
the South Llano, and has a
good number of stock. We
raised 300 bushels of corn last
fall. If you will come out we
will show you a heap of good
country, and the finest range
you ever saw. If you see that
man who said we were still
living in our wagons, tell him
- for me - that the truth ain't in
him. We are well fixed for
house room, and will give you
a dry place to sleep any time
you will come. Write soon. J.
K. Potter"
Kit is of the opinion that
Tom Potter died circa 1880,
and I think, perhaps, he was
one of the first persons buried
in the Wooten Cemetery on
Cajac Creek, although many
of the older graves have no
markers.
My path crossed that of
Jack Smith during the week
for the first time since he and
Sue returned to our "part of
the world", and I appreciated
his kind remarks about
Meanderings.
Book Review
By Rosanna Stapp
South of
Broad
By Pat Conroy
On June 16, 1969, in
Charleston, South Carolina,
18-year-old Leo King starts
the day as he usually does,
delivering the News and
Courier.
When finished, he attends
mass then has breakfast with
his parents at Cleo's. At break-
fast, his mother gives him a
list of things to do that day.
Each one will affect his life
and future and will form
bonds of friendship that will
last a lifetime.
This story is mainly about
Leo: about how his family
shapes him and how his
friends bring him out of his
shell.
Pat Conroy has written a
very interesting novel. The
characters are multi-layered
and complicated. There is
adult language.

Golf News
by Ruth James
There was a blind man’s golf
tournament at Brackenridge
Park this past weekend.
Impossible, you say? Me too,
but there they were teeing off
and putting. Each man had a
sponsor who lined his club up
with the ball then stepped
back; the blind man swung,
and away the ball went. The
camera showed good drives
and putts, but I'll bet lots of
time was spent looking for
balls that went awry, and many
four putts added to the score.
But it shows what a good
game golf is. How fortunate
we are to have our local
course.
I talked a few weeks ago
about a group of locals that
plays in the morning, so this
week I want to tell you about a
group that plays in the afternoon. I don't think either group
has a name for its group like
some of the teams that play in
the San Antonio scrambles,
names like Fort Sam Houston
Dawg Fight group, Fort Sam
Houston Friday Gaggle,
Fredericksburg Super Seniors,
and River Crossing Women.
These fellows just get together
for a fun game of golf: Mick
Casaday, retired coach; Kenny
Smart, past president of the
club; Art Barragan, "A" player; Billy Broyles, longtime
golf member; Don Baugh,
longtime golf member; Bobby
Adams, "A" player; Clay
Armes, "A" player; and
Stanley Graham, "A" player. A
good bunch of golfers and part
of the crew that keeps our
course looking so pretty.
Golf is a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and
slice it and shank it, hit it into
all the traps and miss every
green. The next day you'll go
out, and for no reason at all,
you really stink.
I can't forget last week’s
scramble winners, Clay
Armes, Daryl Stanley, Candy
Bierschwale and Cole Lawler.
Correction
In last week’s article on the Junction City Council meeting, we reported in error that Kristi Metcalf was at fault for
an accident that had occurred in the prior week. The incident in question had occurred on September 14, 2009 and
no fault has been claimed or assessed. Metcalf’s statements
at the council meeting were “I slid by as I was parking,”
and “I slid across her vehicle.”

Texas.
She is survived by her son,

My Opinion
by John Parker
The substance of today’s
“opinion” piece is 100 percent
mine, but a lot of the words I
am going to repeat from a copy
of an address Mr. Walter
Williams gave during a cruise
sponsored
by
Hillsdale
College. Dr. Williams, of
course, is an honored and distinguished professor of economics at George Mason
University.
The first thing he questioned
was the justification for the
massive growth of government
in this nation in the 20th and
21st centuries. He looks back
and says it is far from the narrow limits the founding fathers
envisioned. “Is it the need to
promote what the government
defines as fair and just?” This
of course gives us the question: what is the legitimate role
of government in a free society?
Well, the people who drew
together in that time envisioned a way and means to
provide a government in the
newness of a society never
seen before in the history of
civil societies. Those founding
fathers gave us a rule book–the
Constitution.
This rule book gave us such
things as what they understood
as the legitimate power of the
federal government. (If you
wish to read what they are, get
a copy of the “rule book”,
Constitution, and read article
1, section 8. Congress is
authorized there to do 21
things. (That’s all?) Yep, that’s
all. Today as much as threequarters of what Congress
taxes and spends money on is
nowhere to be found on the
list. (Bailout banks and auto
companies, nope.)
What we can safely say:
America and its so called free
and “honest” elections has
departed from the constitutional principal of limited government that made us great and
the most prosperous nation in
the modern world.
Mr. Williams closed with
“Americans have never done
the wrong thing for a long
time, but if we’re not going to
go down the tubes as a great
nation, we must get about
changing things while we still
have the liberty to do so.”
Ivy Echoes
by Ginger Boerm Andrews
I went to see Marvin Lange
of Koocksville, outside of
Mason today. Before I left, I
wondered what I could bring
him. Since he loves watermelon, I thought about that. I had
two “last of the season” runty
ones but when I cut into them,
I discovered they weren’t any
good, so instead, I printed off a
bunch of pictures of the old
silos and the dam that Lewis
Ferguson, Katie Goodman,
and I went to see a while back
on the Main Llano River.
Marvin had told me about
swimming at the dam in his
younger days and catching a
bunch of suckers that were trying to swim up the dam at one
time. He also mentioned the
silos so thought he’d enjoy the
pictures. I made sure I had new
batteries in my tape recorder
and that my camera was
charged and away I went, as
usual, running a little late.
By the time I got to White’s
crossing I was getting pretty
anxious to get there, when all
of a sudden I spotted two baby
javalina hogs swimming in the
river. Well, I couldn’t pass up
that photo opportunity and so I
got out of the car and walked
toward the river but before I
could even focus the camera
the little piglets were swimming straight towards me, lickity split; coming at me as fast
as they could, happy to see me.
By the time I got a shot of
them, they were at my feet
looking down, not up. So I
couldn’t get a good picture. I
wondered what I should do in
this situation; everything in me
said to pick them up and take
them home. Then a small voice
said, ”They might bite” or
”They might be full of sharp
things that might stick you”. I
don’t really know where that
idea came from, unless it was
remembering the story about
Old Yeller and the sharp tusks
but these guys didn’t have any
tusks. They were tiny and cute
and at my feet. Then I thought,
“H’m, I wonder if I should be
worrying now that their mother might be coming up from
behind me to kill me”. I couldn’t remember if that only pertained to bears or if javalina’s
were the same way. To be safe,
I said “goodbye”, got back in
my car and headed on to
Chris Younts from San Angelo, who will be opposing incumbent Congressman Mike Conaway in the race for U.S.
Congressional District 11 Representative in the Republican
Primary in March, will be in Junction on Tuesday, October
27, at 5:00 p.m. in the Kimble County Library Meeting
Room. He will be answering questions and explaining how
he can make a difference in Washington. Everyone is invited to attend.

I found Marvin at his home,
in bed. He had a stroke that
kind of took the wind out of
him, so he had an oxygen tank
nearby and a tube in his nose to
breathe. He smiled really big
when he saw me and was anxious to see the pictures and listen to my stories about seeing
the dam and silos. He tried to
remember things to tell me, but
it was harder this time, than
last. He was content to just
have me do the talking. He was
in pain. He said he hurt all the
time, ever since he fell out of
his bed and hurt his back. They
give him a bunch of pills that
keep the pain manageable and
allow him to sleep at night.
He’s at home, and that is a
good thing. Aubrey, his son,
was there, keeping watch over
him. He has a lot of friends and
people around him who love
him dearly. I kissed him on his
forehead telling him to get
stronger, and I would come
and get him and take him to
see where the Toad Level
School used to be and to see
the old Bauman field that he
used to work so hard in and the
Community Center in London,
where the mouse ran up his
pants leg, and he laughed and
smiled that million dollar smile
and said he would.
I got home and had an email
from Linda Rampy Fritz. I
haven’t seen her since high
school. I found out that she is a
cousin to Jerry and Judy
Johnson of the Long Mountain
Community. Judy’s mother
was Linda’s dad’s aunt. Linda
got married to Gerald Fritz in
February of 1972, during her
senior year in high school. He
joined the Air Force and went
through basic training in San
Antonio. From there they went
to Great Falls, Montana, at
which time, Linda got pregnant and they had a son,
Michael, in July of 1974. Six
weeks after he was born, they
came back to San Antonio for
more basic training and then in
November of 1974, Gerald
was sent to Thailand where he
and twenty two others were
killed in a helicopter crash on
May 13, 1975, just a week
after his 21st birthday.
Linda moved to Grape
Creek, a little community
north of San Angelo and started to college. She got her BS
degree in medical technology.
After graduation, she went to
work at Shannon Hospital for
26 years before retiring. She
has been retired now for three
years. Michael, Linda’s son,
and his wife live in
Alamogordo, New Mexico.
He is a civil service firefighter
and works at White Sands
Missile Range. Linda still lives
in San Angelo, but travels
often to Alamogordo to visit.
Another person that emailed
me this week was Darlene
Kiser Brady. Darlene is the
daughter of Nellie Lorene
Hight Brady who was the
daughter of George Marion
and Nellie Lodusky Andrews.
In other words, Harlan Hight is
her uncle. She has a lot of
interesting stories to tell, but
that will have to wait until
another day!

A message
from Chief Marvin Ivy
Halloween is next week, and
some of you will be shopping
this weekend for the supplies
you will need. I have a request.
If you would please buy a
good brand of toilet paper, we
would appreciate it. That probably seems strange, but by now
you have come to expect
quirky from me in these
columns. It seems that our officers this time of year are busy
confiscating those items used
to commit crimes. Whether it
is paint ball guns, pellet guns
or toilet paper, we seem to be
up to our ears in confiscations.
All of the toilet paper used in
the police department over the
last year was confiscated on
Halloween night last year by
Officer George Kirchman. We
like the expensive brands, the
best of course, so if you are
stocking up so your kids can
sneak it out to use on their
friend’s and teacher’s homes,
be sure and buy the good stuff.
Thank you.
Now on a serious topic, I
saw a mom almost get hit
twice in a crosswalk. In both
cases, she charged across without looking the driver in the
face, who was about to start
SMALL TOWN
driving forward to drop off his
kids. She touched the curb,
handing off her small child and
made a U-turn back across the
crosswalk. I know the driver of
the truck, and I don’t think he
was being very negligent when
he assumed that the pedestrian
on reaching the curb would
continue on her way rather
than reversing and walking
back in front of him. I could
tell by the look in the pedestrian’s eyes when she stormed
past me that either she was
late, in a hurry or both and/or
having a really bad Monday
morning. The fact is we aren’t
allowed to get so wrapped up
in our problems that we forget
to use common sense when we
are driving or walking through
the school zones.
I wrote a ticket last week to a
young man who had the bad
luck to run a stop sign in front
of me. When he saw me, he
threw his hands up in the air,
jerked his car over to the curb
and waited for his ticket. I didn’t disappoint him. I did ask if
there was an emergency or a
problem. He admitted that he
was having an issue, and I cautioned him to not let his emo-
BY KRISTI HULL
tions dictate his driving. It is
asking a lot to ask a young
driver to act mature when they
are going through, what they
think of as, a real crisis. I know
human nature, and I understand it is really difficult to
leave the problems at work or
at home when you get behind
the wheel. But think how
much worse your problems
will be if you cause a wreck or
worse yet, if you hurt someone
through your negligence.
A final note of concern: Last
Sunday I wrote a couple of
tickets in that area of North
Main just beyond the interstate. That isn’t newsworthy.
That happens almost every day
I work. What was unusual was
that one of them was to a
young driver who lives here.
Most local drivers know that
that area between Harold’s and
Cooper’s businesses is not a
good place to speed. The turning traffic coming off the interstate tends to be careless at the
stop signs. The eighteen
wheelers take forever to get
moving across the intersections. The wind turbine blades
frequently have the roadway
tied up. Out-of-town drivers
are changing their minds about
where they are turning into and
from which lane. Local drivers
either stay away from the intersection or crawl through just
trying to survive. Many wave
as they pass me running radar.
I think they are just glad to
have crossed the battlefield
safely. The young driver I
wrote last week didn’t know
the speed limit there and
seemed really surprised that I
thought 16 miles over was too
fast. Talk with your young
drivers and remind them of
how dangerous that area is.
Wear your seat belts, and enjoy

Waters.

October is National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month
by John Hughson
Kimble Hospital offers
breast cancer detection tips
If you see a pink ribbon this
month, it is most likely as a
reminder of the deadly effects
of breast cancer. This month in
honor of National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month,
Kimble Hospital offers a few
tips on detecting this disease.
“Breast cancer is the most
commonly diagnosed cancer
among American women. In
fact, according to recent statistics, one in eight women will
be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime,” said
Renee Gamble, FNP-C. “The
key to beating breast cancer is
early detection through mammograms.”
According to the Centers for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention, breast cancer is
the most common cause of
death
among
Hispanic
women, and the second most
common cause among white,
black, Asian, and American
Indian women. Last year,
over 200,000 women were
diagnosed with breast cancer.
Still the best known method
for detecting cancer early,
when it’s most treatable,
mammograms are highly recommended for women over
40 or those with a family history of breast cancer. These
non-invasive x-rays can show
a tumor, even before it is big
enough to feel or cause symptoms. Annual mammograms
are covered by Medicare benefits as well as most major
insurance plans. Additionally,
monthly breast self exams are
suggested for women of all
ages.
In addition to regular mammograms, the following
lifestyle choices can help
lower the risk of breast cancer:
• The risk for breast cancer
increases with age, so don't
miss that mammogram after
50. According to statistics,
over 77 percent of all breast
cancer cases are in women 50
and over.
• Control your weight and
exercise. Stay active and make
healthy choices in the foods
you eat and the kinds of drinks
you have each day.
• Know your family history
of breast cancer. If you have a
mother, sister, or daughter
with breast cancer, ask your
doctor what is your risk of getting breast cancer and how
you can lower your risk.
• Find out the risks and benefits of hormone replacement
therapy. Ask your doctor
about the risks and benefits of
hormone replacement therapy
and find out if hormone
replacement therapy is right
for you.
• Limit the amount of alcohol you drink on a daily basis.

Middle school Eagles travel to Rocksprings
by Coach Butch Lewis
The JMS Eagle football
team traveled to Rocksprings
last Thursday afternoon to
take on the Angoras. There
was no victor in the game as
both teams battled to a 14-14
tie. A lot of people would
make the analogy that a tie is
like kissing your sister, no
offense intended to sisters, but
we were very proud of our
young Eagles as they battled
back from a 14-6 deficit at half
time to tie the game.
In the 1st quarter, our Eagles
struck first as Justus Young
scored on a 41-yard run over
the right side. Blocking for
Young was the right side of
the line made up of Trace
Hickenbottom, Cade Taylor,
Henry Whitworth, Kolby St.
Clair and Austin Rivas. The
try for the two point conversion was unsuccessful. The
Angoras answered with a 60yard run around their right
side and made the two point
conversion. The score at the
end of the quarter was
Junction 6, Rocksprings 8.
In the 2nd quarter, our
Eagles were held scoreless.
We moved the ball inside of
the Angora 10 yard line but
had a pass intercepted by the
Angoras. Rocksprings return-
ed the interception to our 12
yard line and then punched it
in over the left side for their
score. The two point conversion was no good, making the
score Junction 6, Rocksprings
14. Safety Drew Martinez
intercepted a Rocksprings
pass and returned it 55 yards
to the Rocksprings 15 yard
line as time ran out in the 1st
half. Score was Junction 6,
Rocksprings 14.
The 3rd quarter was a defensive struggle as both teams
were unable to move the ball.
Our Eagles defense made up
of Judge Modesto, St. Clair,
Whitworth, Cole Mason,
Hickenbottom, Young, Juan
Perez, Rivas, Dontay Foy,
Daniel Newbury, Martinez,
and Andy Uribe played great
defense in the 2nd half. The
score at the end of the 3rd
quarter remained Junction 6,
Rocksprings 14.
Our Eagles entered the 4th
quarter down by 8 points and
desperately needing a break.
On 4th down Rocksprings
lined up to punt on their own
44 yard line. The Angora
punter fumbled the snap, and
the Eagles took over on the
Angora 34 yard line. Two
plays later Young ran around
the left end for the touchdown
behind great blocking by
Martinez, Rivas, Mason,
Whitworth, Victor Reyes and
Hickenbottom. The two point
conversion was successful as
Young ran over the left side
again on the conversion. Our
Eagle defense held strong, and
the final score was Junction
14, Rocksprings 14.
The JMS Eagles will travel
to San Saba on Thursday,
October 22, for a 6:30 p.m.
ball game against the
Armadillos. Please come out
and support these young
Eagles.

JISD board hears student council recycling Red Ribbon
presentation/changes dates on calendar
Continued from Page 1
by Sarah Harrison
The Junction Eagle
The JISD Board of Trustees
met in regular session on
Wednesday, October 14, in the
Middle School library. Not in
attendance were Derrick Ard,
Luke Levien and Allen
Castleberry.
The pledges to the U.S. and
Texas flags were recited and
an invocation was given by
Wheeler Hanks, JHS principal. Hanks then presented a
power point program on what
has happened in high school
from the beginning of school.
The Consent Agenda was
then considered; a motion was
made to approve it as presented; and the motion carried
unanimously. The items in this
agenda were as follows: the
financial reports, food service
report, the DIC report and the
approval of the Superintendent Evaluation Form for
2009-1010.
JMS and JES Student
Council members, under the
direction of Kaycie Sullivan,
presented information on their
recycling project. Several
members read essays on the
different aspects of recycling
for our community, and
Sullivan also reported that
these Student Council members had made a presentation
to the public at the City Hall.
The next item of business
was a consideration to make
some changes to the present
2009-2010 School Calendar.
The staff had requested that
December 8 and 9 become
early release days, due to the
district UIL meet for elementary and middle school being
held in Junction, and buildings
and staff are needed to make
this possible. Secondly, April
5, which is at present a bad
weather day, needs to be
changed to May 10 because
April 6 is TAAS testing, and
teachers need their students in
school the day before. The
board members agreed unanimously that these two revisions could be made to the
JISD 2009-2010 School
Calendar.
The last item was to nominate a candidate as a member
of the Kimble Central
Appraisal District in Anne
Rose’s slot. (Rose had asked
not to be nominated again.)
The motion was made to recommend that the Board
appoint by resolution Bob
Chapman as a representative
to the Kimble Central
Appraisal District. This
motion passed unanimously.
There being no further business, the meeting was
declared adjourned.

“Mr. Whitetail”
to be guest host
for Wild Game
Dinner
submitted by Connie Booth,
Kimble County Chamber of
Commerce Director
On Saturday evening,
November 28, at 6 p.m.,
Junction will be the site of
the 25th Anniversary Kimble
County Wild Game Dinner. It
will be sponsored by the
Wild Game Dinner Association, the Kimble County
Chamber of Commerce &
Junction Tourism, and the
Junction Volunteer Fire
Department.
For a donation of $10, ticket holders gain entry into the
Coke Stevenson Center to
enjoy a meal of assorted wild
game meats, beans, chili with
all the trimmings, and maybe
even some gumbo. A meal
ticket also enters the holder
into the Grand Prize
Drawing.
The Grand Prize this year is
an all expense paid trip for
two, flying out of San
Antonio, to the Safari Club
International Convention in
Reno, Nevada, including a
one-year membership for
two, a $2,000 value.
(Participant must be present
to win the Grand Prize.)
Raffle tickets are also sold
for $1 each to possibly win
one of the 30 rifles and shotguns, hunting and fishing
gear, archery equipment, custom knives, hunting trips, and
more, each with a value of at
least $100. This is a family
oriented event and everyone
is welcome.
This year we plan to
include a Mini-Hunting Expo
in the afternoon from 1 p.m.
The Eagle Band takes time to relax and admire their handiwork before boarding the bus for home. In the back row, from left, are Brian Serna, Zack
Herbst, Taylor Gentry, Cole Mason, Alyssa Valverde, Walker Weaver, Amanda Guzman, Jairo Dominguez, Hanna Leistikow, Eric Aguerro, Abby Jackson,
Kevin Bowers and Elizabeth Dennis. In the third row, from left, are Joey Brady, Kolby St. Clair, Haley Parsons, Gladis Reyes, C.J. Ramsey, Lynsey Gold,
Damian Wilkerson, Jacob Ricker, Philip Guzman and Jaime Condarco. In the second row are Rocio Perez, Kilee Wilham, Juan Perez, Kendra Powers,
Leaura Mullins, Isela De la Cruz, Hanna Braneff, Regan Powers, Elizabeth Swicegood and Joanna Gutierrez. Front row, from left, are Tye Douthit, Ben
Ricker, Wyatt Burton (with trophy), Coreigh Lawhon, Lee Payne, Trace Hickenbottom and director Dan Wynn. Not pictured are Kayla Hightower, Luis
Valdez, Derek Cantu and Victor Reyes.
to 5:30 p.m. on the grounds of
the Coke Stevenson Center.
Admission will be free.
So, make plans to come on
out to the Stevenson Center
and meet internationally recognized hunter/author Larry
Weishuhn “Mr. Whitetail”.
He will have some of his
books for sale and will even
sign them for you. And I bet
you can get at least one good
huntin’ story from him, too!
For more information, go to
www.junctiontexas.net or call
the Chamber at 325-4463190.

The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, October 21, 2009
Mike
ness and have earned a week
of rest and what a great time
for it to come. I know champions don’t rest, they reload, and
I expect there is a special purple plan being developed even
now for our neighbors up the
road about 30 miles. Pat yourselves on the back, Eagles,
and get ready----you can do it!
Hey Ike,
Our Junction
Boys are playoff bound! It is
amazing, Ike, it seems like
each week somebody else on
this 2009 Eagles team comes
up big. You have to give credit to the leadership exhibited
by McKinnerney, Brawley,
Keeton, the Fuentes brothers
and Stapp, but you can’t overlook great players like
Warden, Whitworth, Parga or
Chapman. Some of these players step right into key roles
after being out for a couple of
years. I can think of
Sienkeiwich and Aguerro
right off the top of my head
that are fantastic pieces of this
great Eagle team. Great work
from Sandlin, Wilson and
Rosas make this Eagles team
solid. Also, Ike, players coming into their own like
Menchaca, Roman, Craig and
just lately Schoppe really
round out the heart of a team
that has given us fans a great
season and now a post season
to look forward to. I am full of
Eagle Pride!
Congratulations, Junction
Eagles, you took care of busi-

Let’s see what Punchers do

Hey Mike,
Ike
Not
so
fast…..there is
still a scenario in which a
three-way tie and a coin toss
could keep us out of the playoffs! If you jinxed us, we’ll
have to line you up on the fifty
and let our Eagles take turns
running you over! We need to
win one of the next to be sure
we are in, but there are several
ways for other teams to help us
clinch a spot. As for the game,
WAY TO GO EAGLES!!
That was a BIG step towards a
playoff birth, and y’all are really coming together as a team!
I think the thing that jumps
out the most to our Eagle Fans
as they watch a ball game is
just how much fun our players
are having…..they truly seem
to love the game! It’s hard not
to get excited watching a
bunch of players that show the
kind of excitement, preparation and determination needed
to win the game. With that in
mind, Eagles, better not take
the week off just because it’s a
bye. No, better work extra
hard at preparing for Mason
and knocking them down a
peg or two!

Jordan Keeton (66) levels the Rocksprings quarterback and jars the football loose. In on the
tackle are Brayden Schulze (4) and Tyler Wilson (12). Jacob Chapman (61) has his eyes on
the ball, but won’t be able to beat out the charging Rafael Fuentes (58), obscured by
Rocksprings player #32, for the fumble recovery.
Kaitie Chenault (5) is all concentration as she lines up to hit the ball. She is surrounded by JV Sophomore Mary Whitworth (23) is wound up and ready for the kill. Close at hand to cover
teammates Kate McLain (30), Gabby Lawhon (4), Lexi Gallegos-Samora(15) and Chelsi all possible outcomes are Kayley Eckert (3), Jessica Roper (4), Heather Burleson (11) and
Davis (3) readying to continue the play.

GOOD LUCK EAGLES!!!!
The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, October 21, 2009
With no open receivers to be found downfield, the Eagles’ scrappy senior quarterback Jason
McKinnerney (5) drives for yards the old-fashioned way. To his right, moving to block for
the QB is sophomore lineman Jordan Keeton (66).
“Not gonna happen! Not on my watch!” Junior linebacker
Trevor Brawley (55) sees to it that the Angora pass receiver
has no chance to catch the ball. Brawley was also credited
with eight tackles in the Eagles’ 41 to 14 win.
Page 9
Junior Mizael Sauceda (45) (far left) has stripped the Angora ball carrier on the kickoff
return after the halftime break, and will bounce on the fumbled ball, recovering it for the
Eagles. Teammates Dustin Schoope (44), Rafael Fuentes (58) and Nathanel Warden (62)
hurry to get in on the action.
Just before halftime, on a first and ten, Jacob Chapman (61)
and Brayden Schulze (4) combine to wrestle this goat to the
ground for a loss. Jordan Keeton (66) is on the way.
With the game clock running out of time for the Angoras,
this long pass from the Junction 36 yard line was intended
for Rocksprings tight end Tyler Varga (85), but Eagles
defensive back Rigo Rosas (7) has batted the ball away.
Eagles junior defensive back Tyler Wilson (12) pulls down an Teammates Mizael Suaceda (45) and Brad Sandlin (2) can
interception early in the first quarter, while Jason be seen roaming the backfield close to the goal line, planning
to thwart any Angoras receivers.
McKinnerney (5) has the deep routes covered.
Hoss running back David Fuentes (8) reels in a short pass
from Eagles QB Jason McKinnerney (5) and heads further
into Angora territory. Fuentes carried the ball 19 times in
the contest with Rocksprings and made 104 yards and two
touchdowns for the Eagles.
Ty Stapp (23) jukes, dodges, reverses, cuts across the field,
breaks tackles and hauls it 31 yards to the Rocksprings one
yard line. On the next play, Stapp will head right up the
middle for his second touchdown for the night.
