County jail
fails inspection
By Joe Baker
According to information
from a representative of the
Texas Commission on Jail
Standards, the Karnes County jail failed an inspection on
March 24.
The jail underwent its annual inspection and was
found in non-compliance.
The inspector’s report
states that, at the time of the
inspection, six doors within
the jail were non-functional.
The report further states that
“the doors will not lock and
there is no way to secure the
doors”. As a result of being in noncompliance, the county will
have 30 days from the receipt
of the official notice to sub-
mit a written plan of action to
this agency to remedy the situation. Once the plan of action has been received by this
agency, the county will have
up to one year to fulfill the details of their plan of action. Generally,
non-compliant jails remain open unless
circumstances, such as lifesafety issues, deem that a jail
should be closed. Jails can
only be closed through a formal vote by the nine-member
state commission who meet
quarterly each year.
Karnes County Sheriff David Jalufka said the problem with the doors has been
around since before he took
office. The issue, he said, is in

Kenedy High School

know I could get in trouble.”
School administrators, in
accordance with school policy, placed the school on lockdown and the Karnes County tactical response team
responded, blocking off the
roads to the school. Students
were moved to the football
stadium and then to the middle school before being returned to the high school
campus.
Police searched the campus and no item was found.
About two hours later, the
building was then released
back to the school where
classes resumed that afternoon.
Kenedy Police Chief Duane
DuBose said that the lockdown and the evacuation
went smoothly.
“The parents we talked
with at the scene were understanding,” DuBose said. “I
was really happy with the response at the school. Drills
are one thing, but when you
kind of put that extra pressure on – being a real incident
– you don’t know how people are going to react. Everybody did a good job. I was really happy with the school’s
side and I was happy with our
officers and the officers from
the agencies that responded
to assist.”
Kenedy High School was
placed on lockdown and all
the students were evacuated following a bomb threat
about midday on Friday,
March 26.
Fortunately, no actual
bomb was found and the students were returned to their
classrooms later that afternoon.
Police said that a Kenedy High School student was
heard saying that there was a
bomb on campus.
Administrators took the
student from the classroom
to the principal’s office where
he was further questioned
about the remark but the student never denied that he
made the threat.
This triggered school officials to call the police. A Kenedy police officer was present when the principal again
asked the student about
what he said. Based on what
the student said, the officer
placed senior Kyle Scott Gomez, 18, under arrest for making a terroristic threat, which
is a Class A misdemeanor.
Police said that the student was taken to the Karnes
County jail and while being
processed at the jail he began
to change his story, saying
words to the effect of, “I didn’t [email protected]

Wide Open Spaces
Painter Donald
Dunn escapes the city
lights to build
an art studio
in Choate, Texas
By Julie Hemby Nichols
Contributing Writer
A
strong spring wind
jangles the dainty
metal chimes on the
front porch of a little
wood frame home – interrupted
by the occasional noise of an
18-wheeler or a speeding car
or truck winding down Texas
Highway 239.
Birds chirp and flit around in growing
oaks, stocked with feeders.
A brush line across the roadway brings
out other wildlife at night, when the only lights include the few residential overheads. Not any street lights, though, to
punctuate the clear night sky.
As winds die down at dusk, recent rains
have brought out the frogs to sing their
night songs, and some crickets chime in.
A coyote yammers in the distance.
Wide open country, free from the bustling traffic and crowds, is the way artist
Donald Dunn, 63, prefers his surroundings these days.
“Some people ask, ‘Why would you
move from Corpus to Choate?’” his wife of
38 years Debbie Dunn said. “He just want-

ed to have an atmosphere more for his
painting.”
So last July the couple, both retired from
successful careers, moved into that little wood frame home formerly owned by
Roy and Lucy Belle Ryan. With the help of
his contractor cousin Mike Dunn, they remodeled it, being sure to add a small art
studio – where he puts onto canvas images of the Texas countryside – and a partial
wrap-around porch – where they enjoy relaxing in a pair of rockers or on the front
porch swing. As the weather warms, they
hope to see hummingbirds like they did

Scott Atkinson portrays Jesus praying during “The Day He
Wore My Crown” - a resurrection musical and drama presented by the First Baptist Church of Kenedy on March 27.
Local firefighters will have
the opportunity to learn
more about using extrication
equipment such as the jaws
of life and other lifesaving
tools, and they will also get
valuable firefighting training
during an upcoming event at
Jerry B’s, a restaurant located
just outside the north edge of
the Kenedy City Limits.
The public is also invited to attend and watch local firefighters as they learn
more about removing accident victims from crashed
automobiles and various
firefighting techniques.
Jerry B’s owner Allen
Brown will bring several
junked vehicles to an area
behind the restaurant that
the firefighters will practice
taking apart as part of the
training exercise.
Also, property owner Mike
Burris has offered to let the
firefighters conduct a training fire on a house he owns
located just north of the restaurant, so there will be extrication and firefighting training all happening on the
same day.
The all-day event will get
started about 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 10, and is expected to wrap up around 5 p.m.
All Karnes County firefighters have been invited
to participate in the training
event.
Loose hay will be lit inside
the building and local firefighters will practice finding the source of the fire and
putting the fire out.
Later in the afternoon, the
structure itself will be fully
ignited and eventually will
be allowed to burn down
once the training exercises
are complete.
Karnes City Fire Chief
Charlie Malik, who is helping coordinate the training
event, expects about 50-60
local volunteer firefighters
will attend, getting an opportunity to learn more about
firefighting and extrication
during the event.

From page 1
last summer when they first
moved here. And, they just
put in a huge garden.
“If you paint wildlife, you
got to be out in it and see it
every day,” Mr. Dunn said.
“Our move to Karnes County will hopefully bring a little
slower pace of living where
we can see a sunrise and sunset without the haze and big
city ground light reflecting into the atmosphere blocking
the moon and stars. I love to
look at songbirds and wildflowers, to be able to look out
my window and study natural
wildlife.” Mr. Dunn’s work, depicting Texas wildlife and nature scenes, will be on display during a show from 5
p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, April
17, at the Second Street Gallery in Kenedy. He plans to
have eight original oil paintings, plus a print of his favorite “Shin Oak Whitetail.” He
will also have a giclee, which
is a relatively new process of
making fine art prints from
a digital source on canvas, of
“Nostalgic Glance of a Texas
Legacy,” depicting a longhorn
with the Berclair Mansion as
the backdrop.
The art show is free to all
ages.
“It’s a kid-friendly establishment,” Second Street Gallery Owner Saundra Schultz, who teaches art lessons to
area youth and who is an artist herself, said. “(Mr. Dunn)
is a well-known artist and has
done a lot of commissions,
and had his work displayed in
numerous galleries.”
Mr. Dunn’s paintings also
are on display at the Bryant
Gallery in Kingsville and the
Matthews Gallery in Aransas Pass. In his nearly 40 years
as an artist, he has sold some
200 paintings and 600 prints,
and while most of his clients
are from Texas, people as far
away as England, New York,
Wyoming and Georgia have
bought his work.
Since 2004, he has contributed to the South Texas Charity Quail Hunt, where he met a
faithful client Frank Harlock,
who owned a Corpus-area
beer distributorship. Because
the event, formerly known
as the South Texas Celebrity Weekend, drew celebrities,
the Dunns also have met television series Dallas stars Patrick Duffy and Larry Hagman. While Mr. Dunn gets to
go along on hunts, he usually shoots photographs, rather than a shotgun, at potential subjects – including one
of a bird dog in a painting titled “Honor System,” which
he donated in January to the
auction at the charity event to
raise money for Corpus Christi Spohn Hospital and wildlife
management programs in the
area. Another favorite painting, “Cornered Pair,” depicts
the story of an English Pointer on point, conflicted with
his natural instinct to go for
the bird coupled with the discipline bred into such hunting dogs.
Mr. Dunn keeps his digital camera handy at home

Artist Donald Dunn and wife of 38 years, Debbie, relax in their wooden rockers on their
side porch. The couple moved from Corpus Christi to Choate last July so Mr. Dunn could
concentrate more on painting his natural Texas landscapes and wildlife.
and while traveling to capture landscapes and wildlife.
He then uploads the images
onto his computer, or sometimes prints them out, to recreate his visions onto the canvas. Before that, he relied on
35 mm film and more expensive store developing.
“Because it’s Texas wildlife
and Texas scenery, it is absolutely photo-realistic painting,” Schultz said. “The insight this man has of nature
and his surroundings is just
uncanny; it’s just unbelievable the talent he possesses.
He has recreated what God
has created.”
Mr. Dunn’s oil paintings,
the giclees and prints will
be on display at the Second
Street Gallery for two weeks
and on sale as well. Prints
run $35, and his art ranges
from $1,300 to $5,500. Canvas dimensions typically are
24- x30-inch, but he also has
done 20- x 24-inch and 16- x
20-inch canvases. The “Shin
Oak Whitetail” is not numbered, but is a signed print
costing $35. Although he does
not yet have a price (he will

most growing up was wildlife.
I paint a variety of birds – wax
wings, doves, brown pelicans,
red birds. I plan to do a painting of cardinal from a photo I took on a real cold morning just outside the window;
the leaves and limbs had little droplets on them, and that
red bird was right in the middle of it.”
Mr. Dunn has painted or
drawn for as long as he remembers, but when he was
six years old his second grade
teacher inspired him to take
his talents further.
“All I can remember is her
name was Ms. Compton, and
it was Christmastime and we
were drawing the manger
scene on the board, and she
let me draw the camel,” he recalled “She just really praised
me and encouraged me, and
that’s what got me started.
That one teacher. It’s amazing how much something like
that would influence a child.”
His parents sought art lessons for him when he was
nine years old. His first painting, a water color he keeps in
a modest frame on a wall near
his easel in his studio, depicts
a swan.
“One thing led to another
and I just kept drawing, and
as years went by I got better,”
he added, noting that he took
art courses at Texas A&I University in Kingsville.
“I kind of painted what I
wanted to paint and not what
they wanted me to paint,”
he chuckled, as Mrs. Dunn
joked that on an eccentricity scale of 1-10, the professor
rated an 11. “I paint realism;
I don’t paint abstract or contemporary. My art professor

Farm on the San Gabriel River Bottom,” “Brown Pelican
on Nueces Bay” and “Storm
Frenzy.” “Someday art is just gonna explode in Kenedy, Texas,”
Schultz said.
Mr. Dunn’s paintings of native Texas wildlife in natural environments and unique
geographical landscapes are
influenced by his family’s
farming and ranching heritage. The grandson of Wade
Jimmerson, he was born
in Kenedy and his parents
owned a cleaners business
in Pettus. Though the family moved from this area when
his father was hired by Southern Mineral Corp. and he and
his sister were quite young, he
credits owning land in nearby Pawnee with fueling his
love of wildlife and his keen
eye for the details of his surroundings.
In 1952, his family moved
to Corpus when his father got
a job with Great Southern. He
graduated from Corpus Christi’s Miller High School in 1965
and attended various colleges with the hopes of studying
wildlife management. He was
drafted into the U.S. Marine
Corps Reserve Unit, but never
deployed, from 1968 to 1974.
“I see nature differently
than most people because I
see beauty in an old mesquite
tree or prickly pear as well as
a beautiful whitetail deer or a
longhorn cow grazing in the
pasture,” he said, his deep-
gave me a C in Painting, and
I really needed a B. I was trying to keep my grade-point
up to stay out of the draft. I
understand now where he
was coming from. He was always trying to get me to open
up and be free. He would tell
me, ‘Quit trying to put perimeters around your paintings,’
something like that.
“The dean of the art department liked my work, so I went
to the dean and talked to him;
they required three paintings;
I did five. They were all realism,” Mr. Dunn continued.
“The dean talked to the professor, and they changed my
grade.”
Mr. Dunn continued his
training as a semi-professional artist while working
as a special services technician with Southwestern Bell
Telephone in Corpus, crediting artist and teacher Robert H. Garden, who now owns
Art Enterprises Inc. in Irving,
with helping him master color and light when he was 28.
“I took lessons for about six
weeks, and he taught me a lot
about using light,” Mr. Dunn
explained. “You have your
highlights, indirect light, direct light, sunlight, skylight …
You got to consider all of that
coming into that painting,
and he taught me that, and six
weeks later I was going to lessons every week, and he says
to me you’ve already picked
up on everything I have got to
teach you. I really can’t show
you any more of what you’re
doing right now. Your drawing ability is basically where
it’s at, and I have taught you
everything I can teach you
about color and light – and
now you just need to perfect
it.”
He also learned from the
late Dick Turner of Corpus
Christi. Painting has become
easier for him through the
years, and extracting color
and dimension comes naturally – something the layman
admiring his artwork does
not always regard.
“You’ve got to consider which direction the sun’s
coming from, what time of
day it is … you’ve got shadow light, and you’ve got to
use complementary colors to get that shadow light,”
he explained. “For example, if you’re paining a red
vase, on the shadow side of
vase, you’ve got to use red
and green to make that shadow. And, a shade of green
in the white makes a highlight. Green is complementary color to red. Any other color it’s not going to look real.
If you have a droplet of water … I use lavender and orange or red and green. When I
say I have a red vase, that’s the
main color, and then the tint
of green and white to make
that highlight. If you have a
red vase on a yellow table, to
make a shadow on the table
you got to use three different
colors – red, lavender and yellow mixed together – because
you have reflective light on
the table. You got to consider
all of that to make it look real.
“I used to have to think
about all of this when I was
painting, but now it’s just second nature,” he continued.
“When you do it so long, you
know what to look for. Everything comes together; it’s a lot
easier than it was 15-20 years
ago.”

Mr. Dunn went professional with his art upon retiring
in 2002, after 32 years with
Southwestern Bell. While he
can usually complete a painting in three to four weeks as
opposed to a few months
when he first started, he
spends days on detail and admits he is a perfectionist.
When he’s stuck and the
painting is not coming together as he envisions it, he
steps away from it for a while
and usually does something
outside.
“I can mess it up faster than
I can fix it up. It has to be right,
or I won’t let it out of my studio,” he said. “Detail is I guess
the No. 1 thing in my work. It
may just be a little highlight
on the eye or the pupil may
be oblong instead of round. I
want it exactly the way it is in
nature.”
Mrs. Dunn added she often
will think a painting is complete because he will work on
it all day and have his subject
proportional and composed.
There have been times he has
skipped lunch.
“It’s not finished until his
initials go on it,” she said.
“That’s the last thing he’ll do
because he’ll spend several
weeks on detail. Maybe one
little piece of fur here or one
little blade of grass.”
His 6-foot, 2-inch frame
huddles on a stool in his studio, where he works hard to
focus on making the painting look three-dimensional and transparent, using layered painting. He constantly
observes his surroundings,
seeing potential in what seem
like everyday scenes to people who’ve grown up on a
farm or ranch.
“When we’re traveling,
he’ll stop and take a picture
of cows, windmills, birds, an
old fence or old shack,” Mrs.
Dunn said. “He never has it
turned off. I can’t tell you how
many times we’ve had to turn
around and take a picture.”
The Dunns have good reason to travel Texas highways
often. Aside from his retirement from Southwestern
Bell and hers in 2007 as a director at a large church’s daycare, they have a 17-monthold grandson to visit, along
with their older son and his
wife, in Stanton in West Texas.
Their younger son still lives in
Corpus.
“It’s been a change moving
to Choate; it’s kind of different
because we don’t have immediate family here,” said Mrs.
Dunn, who grew up in Thorndale and met her husband in
Austin. “We have relatives,
but they’re not immediate
family. But it’s not like we’re in
strange territory. I really like it
because I hate traffic; I never
liked to shop in large stores; I
like small stores.”
Mrs. Dunn said she tries to
allow her husband a quiet atmosphere and reads, watches “old show” television or
works in their garden while he
works in his studio at the back
corner of their home.
“It gets kind of lonesome.
He’s not a big talker. He expresses himself on canvas; it’s
hard for him to express verbally,” she said.
While quiet with some solitude is how Mr. Dunn likes
it, he noted that he could not
live without his wife.
“She has supported me
through the years by giving
me the time to paint, trying
to not pressure me, critiquing
my paintings and taking care
of the business part,” he said.
Returning to Karnes County brings Mr. Dunn’s life fullcircle in some sense.
“I love living in Karnes
County and being around
people who are friendly and
care about each other. We
have found this to be true in
Choate,” Mr. Dunn said. “In
big city life, this is sometimes
lost. You don’t know how different the air smells in the
country until you live in a big
city with all the smog and pollution of automobiles and refineries. I have always wanted
to live in a small community
where there is elbow room.”

two agenda items related to
Commissioners Court meetings. One item called for discussion/action authorizing
expanding public comment
time from three to five minutes. The other item called
for discussion/action about
changing one Commissioners Court meeting from a day
meeting to a night meeting
The Court took no action
on the items due to the fact
that Commissioner James Rosales placed the items on the
agenda but was not able to attend the meeting due to illness.
In other business the court
voted to authorize a letter to
be sent to the Texas Department of Agriculture requesting that a quarantine not be
imposed due to the presence
of Orabance Ramosa (broomrape) which is a parasitic
plant. The county has not received funding for broomrape eradication for the past
two years but the plant continues to grow in various
parts of Karnes County, according to information presented by County Extension
Agent J.D. Folbre.
Commissioners
From page 1
said they had brought these
concerns to the county road
and bridge administrator
more than six months ago,
but the road conditions have
not improved significantly.
County Judge Alger Kendall, Jr. told the group that he
was sorry they had to bring
the issue to the court but he
appreciated them coming
forward to voice their concerns. He assured the residents that the road issues in
their area would be addressed
soon.

Weed Control: What can we do?
The question is being
asked, “Why so many weeds
this year and what should
we do with them?” The reason we have so many weeds
is that we had two conditions
over the summer and winter
that made it ideal for weeds.
The drought reduced plant
cover this summer, leaving plenty of bare ground
and gaps in our lawns where
weed seeds could reach the
soil. The cool, wet weather
this winter made ideal conditions for germination and
growth of weeds. The result is
tremendous growth of rescue
grass, henbit, bedstraw, thistles, medic, and other weeds.
Wildflowers are weeds, too.
How are they faring in this
weed fiesta? Early in the season, it looked like it might
be a spectacular season for
wildflowers; unfortunately,
the rains were too much of a
good thing. The larger, more
aggressive weeds will overrun bluebonnets and other
wildflowers on the moister
sites with relatively good soil.
On sites with shallow soil, the
wildflowers are already showing and will make a fair show.
In addition to bluebonnets,
the primrose, Mexican hat,
wine cups, crow’s foot, and
verbena are already blooming. The peak bluebonnet period will probably be three
weeks from now, in early
April.
The best thing to do to control the cool weather weeds
(the undesirable ones!) at this
point is to keep them mowed
in order to prevent seed production. It is pretty late to apply a contact herbicide like
Wipe-Out, Weed-Be-Gone or
even Round-Up. The contact
herbicides are unpredictable
in cool, wet weather and the
“kill” probably will not come
fast enough to prevent seed
production. Warm weather will kill most of the weeds
next month anyway.
Speaking of warm weather, I have seen Bermuda grass
growing in raised bed gardens. It will not be long before all the wonderful warm
weather weeds move in to replace the cool weather weeds.
If you have trouble with crabgrass and especially sandburs I would still apply a preemergent herbicide even if a
few escape its effect and germinate anyway. There are
a number of effective preemergents. Check the list of
weeds controlled on the labels of Amaze, Portrait, Balan, Betasan and others to
see which prevents the weeds
you have in the summertime.
The best way to battle
weeds is to have a strong lawn
or, better yet, groundcovers or
mulched perennials. Weeds
do not compete well with
a thick St. Augustine, zoysia or Bermuda lawn. There
is no such thing as a thick
buffalograss lawn but, if the
drought tolerant grass is used
on heavy soil in full sun with
a western or southern facing
slope, watered sparingly and
mowed high, it will out-compete weeds during dry years.
During wet years, keep the
herbicides handy if you have
a buffalo grass lawn.
To encourage your lawn to
thicken up, it is not too late
to aerate and top-dress with
a half-inch of compost. Rent
the type of aerator that cuts
plugs rather than the spike
type. Wait until after April
15 to fertilize the lawn. Use
a slow release fertilizer such
as 19-5-9, 20-5-10, or one of
the organic fertilizers. Do not
waste your money on weed
and feeds. If you apply the
product now it is too early for
the fertilizer to be useful to
the grass, so you are fertilizing the same weeds that you
are trying to kill. If you wait
until mid April or May when

forget that the weed and feed

it sits in the garage or shed for
awhile.

Letters to the editor
Opinion
We the people? Corporations?
Editor:
‘The Judiciary is now also
the Legislative’
There is a saying “Money speaks and politicians listen.” In January 2010, the US
Supreme Court (persons in
life) decided by a majority of
5 to 4 that “people” will now
be corporations also. The first
amendment to the constitution will now allow money to
be free speech.
Since the votes were 5 to 4,
only d1 justice made it almost
impossible to change the law
as 2/3 of congress and 3/4 of
the states must vote to amend
the constitution.
It is my opinion that the
founding fathers did not really
want large banks, energy companies, and other large corporations to influence congress
with big money contributions.
I can write a check for $25.00,
but Exxon Mobil can write a
check for $25,000,000.00.

This is about the passing
and the signing of the healthcare bill.
Look at the way Obama and
the Democratic Congress have
totally trashed our Constitution. I never thought I’d live
long enough to see our government including Obama show
so much disrespect for the
United States.
To be told that i don’t know
what’s best for me! I feel I’ve
done a pretty good job of managing my life and finances. I
pay my bills and my taxes and
I’m not in debt and live within
my means.
This is what my father
taught me, to be a responsible
adult. I’m proud of what he
taught me.
I don’t just sign things put
in front of me without reading
them until i understand them.
Most of the Democrats that
said yes to the healthcare bill
don’t have a clue what’s in the
bill.
The best way we can take
care of this mess is to stand together against these people.

The sun is rising
Joe
Baker
Some people have asked me about the sun
at the top of the front page of The Karnes
County Times.
“Is the sun rising or is it setting?” they will
ask.
“Rising,” I will answer.
While in the process of coming up with a
design for the front page, an image formed
in my mind, and it was, without a doubt, the
image of a rising sun.
It didn’t take long for the year 2010 to become a year like no other year for me, both
personally and professionally. It has been
that kind of year for many other people in
Karnes County as well.
Change is coming fast and furious to
Karnes County and it’s unusual, but it is also
exciting at the same time to see the changes
coming along with these spring winds.
Throughout the process of starting this
new business, I have noticed an ever-growing
excitement throughout Karnes County.
Setting up shop here in downtown Main
Street Kenedy, I have been especially gratified
to watch the ever-growing hustle and bustle of people going about their business in the
downtown area.
Less than a decade ago, downtown Kenedy
really looked a lot like a ghost town, but look
at it now. Businesses are filling what were
once vacant buildings and there is traffic -real traffic -- lots of it -- passing along Main
Street. There are still vacant buildings, but it
is exciting to see downtown Kenedy growing
again and it fills me with hope that it can one
day return to the kind of downtown that existed here many years ago.
And it’s not just Kenedy, either.
Indeed, all the communities across Karnes
County appear from my point of view to be at
the jumping off point of what might be a renaissance, of sorts.
Largely as a result in an upswing in the oil
and gas related business activity here, there
are many new people moving here and many
new businesses starting here and people talking about new ideas, and talking about exciting new prospects for Karnes County that
lie just beyond the horizon at the edge of tomorrow.
It is looking quite likely that the Karnes
County courthouse may indeed, within a few
years be fully restored to what it looked like
when it was originally constructed 106 years
ago.
If this happens, I believe that we will have
a courthouse we can all be very proud of - a
shining beacon - a symbol of Karnes County and the people of this wonderful community. The people of this community work
hard and they take pride in their accomplishments. They take pride in what they are able
to build with their own hands. The homes
they build. The families they build. The lives
they build. A beautiful stately fully restored
courthouse, in my opinion, will be a shining beacon - a catalyst that can spur the revitalization of the downtown Karnes City area
and perhaps even the county as a whole. I get
very excited when I imagine the possibility of
what has happened to so many other communities across Texas through courthouse
restoration projects, happening right here in
our own back yard.
There are exciting new things happening at the churches throughout this community and also among the many members
of the many community organizations that
work hard to make life better for everyone
throughout Karnes County.
Many things are happening all over the
county that are improving the quality of life
here in Karnes County.
I believe 2010 is a pivotal year for Karnes
County, just as it has been pivotal -- a turning
point in my own life.
The events since Jan. 1 2010 have reminded me that there is no better place to live than
right here in Karnes County, Texas, because
you will not find better people anywhere
than the ones who live here and treat one another as neighbors and friends... no... beyond
that... they treat one another as family.
I remember the year 1984.
I was 19 years old.
During that time there was a widespread
sense of optimism about the outlook for the
future this country. A campaign commercial for the re-election of Ronald Reagan expressed those sentiments in a way that captivated many of us who heard the message,
“It’s morning again in America.”
Twenty-six years later In 2010, right here,
right now, it is my wish to echo those sentiments.
Yes, the sun on the front page of this newspaper is rising, and as long as this newspaper
exists, it always will be.
It’s morning again, in Karnes County.

Three little words
Joe
Brubaker
Folks I imagine many of you know that one
of the shortest verses in the Bible is—God Is
Love. Just three little words but their meaning is tremendous.
Oft times we humans use these words I
love very flippantly. Such as, I love your hat,
dress or other apparel or I really love a good
cup of coffee.
Be that as it may I am suggesting that we
use it more frequently and with feeling as we
tell our mates and friends that we love them.
These are special words and we should use
them more often.
More songs have been written concerning
love than any other emotion.
So my suggestion is that you and I express
our love to our spouses, our children, our relation and our friends. Now I don’t mean getting too syrupy and silly about it, but with
honesty and sincerity!
As one of the songs puts it, have I told you
lately that I love you?

Yard Work
Pamela
Baker
Despite desperately wanting to do nothing, my husband and I performed some
way overdue yard maintenance on Sunday
afternoon. To be perfectly honest, because
our inability to keep up with yard maintenance, I am not sure we should own any
property that has more than a 10x10 foot
green space in front of it. Our current property has an acre and a half. It was starting
to look a little like rainforest. So, we decided to divide and conquer. My husband, Joe,
would weed-eat, and I would mow the yard
with the riding lawn mower.
Every time I start out I feel like the task at
hand is so enormous that I become discouraged, but I begin anyhow. I start the mower
with no problem, and begin my endless circling of the yard.
After about 3 or 4 circles, I start wondering why I haven’t really seen much progress. I look back. Flat grass. I have forgotten to engage the blade. I turn the lever and
actually begin to cut grass. I don’t think Joe
is paying attention, so he won’t make fun of
me later. Every time I look over at him he
is sitting on the ground messing with the
weed-eater. I never see him actually weedeat but he is full of grass so I suppose he is.
Except it’s not really grass, it’s clover and
weeds. Thick, green, moist clover. I have
to go over it twice where it is the thickest.
Serves us right for not mowing since last
year.
I am getting the hang of it, and start enjoying the scenery. Then I become worried.
It’s like the wilderness is encroaching upon us. Can I mow over cactus? The cactus
is moving in. It’s coming, along with those
huisache and mesquite trees. They are going to take over the world.
Then I start thinking about work, and
working while you are thinking about more
work is really much too much work, so I try
to think of other things.
I notice that one of our crepe myrtle trees
has died (again, we really shouldn’t be in
charge of plants, ever) and I accidently run
over a big sheet of plastic. I close my eyes
and pray that it doesn’t break the mower. It
keeps working, so I am happy. There are little pieces of plastic everywhere, but still my
husband hasn’t noticed.
I run out of gas and need assistance.
Husband fills the tank. I require assistance
starting again. I drive around for about five
minutes before I realize I haven’t turned the
blade on again. Am embarrassed for myself
but nobody has noticed.
While I am mowing Joe flags me down.
“What happened to the door?” He says.
I look over at the storm door. It has been
smashed into a million pieces. Some of it is
on the porch, and some is hanging precariously on the edge of the frame.
“I didn’t do that! I haven’t even been over
there. You must have done it!”
Joe admits that he probably threw a rock
up while he was weed-eating, and we discuss how to clean it up. Goliath and my
storm door. All it takes is a little stone.
I carefully shake off the remaining glass
and suck up 20 pounds of tiny bits of glass
with a shop-vac. How did people survive
without shop-vacs in the past? I just can’t
comprehend it.
After four and a half hours of work the
yard looks pretty decent.
In the back of my mind, however, I am
still very concerned with the cactus and
huisache and mesquite trees, slowly inching toward the house. It would make a great
horror movie, I think.
Guest Column
Jesus’ death on Calvary
Easter is almost here and kids will soon be
out of school. Super markets have out all the
chocolate Easter Bunnies you can eat and
there are all kinds of candy eggs, Easter baskets and even live bunnies, colored chicks,
ducklings and many other things to entice
your senses and oh the smell of barbequed
brisket, potato salad and beans will soon fill
many a kitchen!
As I search through my Bible in daily readings, every year at this time I get teary-eyed
because it is not about Easter bunnies, Easter eggs or any of that although those things
in themselves are not bad, but if we focus on
only that we miss the whole purpose of what
Easter represents.
To get down to the nitty gritty, Easter is
about a man called Jesus who was born as
the suffering Messiah in a small town of
Bethlehem which means House of Bread. As
He was laid in a manger used for feeding animals, He became our Bread of Life which
came down from heaven.
On the first Passover thousands of years
ago, Moses was told by God to kill a spotless lamb and take its blood and put it over
the doorpost of every house in Egypt so that
the death angel would pass over and spare
the death of first born children, animals, etc.
Moses obeyed and as we see in history the
death angel passed over sparing all the first
born while Pharaoh and his first born children and animals perished. Ever since then,
the Jews were told to have a Passover lamb
killed and on this Passover Jesus was doing
what was prescribed by law when He asked
His disciples to find the Upper Room furnished and ready to go for what would be
His last Passover meal before He would die
and be resurrected three days later. During
the Last Supper meal, Jesus tells His disciples one of them will betray Him and they all
question is it I? Jesus said it was the one who
dips His bread in with Me but they missed it
as Judas goes out the door. Next they leave
and go to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray.
Notice how Jesus prays: “Father if it be possible let this chalice pass from me but not
my will but yours be done!” Notice when
it got rough? Jesus did not quit but accepted the fact He would have to fulfill this mission for you and for me. This was totally the
hardest thing He would ever have to do! He
even sweat blood. How many of us have ever sweated blood? I cannot imagine the difficulty or the terrible grief our Lord was under
as this happened and His three companions
closest to Him were asleep when He needed them the most. Next Judas comes bringing with him the whole group of soldiers
who arrest Jesus and take Him before Pilate. Peter tries to defend Him cutting off a
guards ear but Jesus, who created that ear
puts it back on fully restoring it. I wonder
what the guard thought after that as he takes
Jesus in. Pilate sees nothing wrong with Jesus but knows this is a crowd bent on jealousy and so orders Jesus whipped and beaten.
Have you ever been beaten by a lynch mob?
This was the most brutal beating any one
could ever have. When they were finished
with Jesus His flesh was literally hanging
off of Him. It was absolutely brutal and no
one can properly describe His appearance
but He did this for you and me and Scripture says: “By His stripes we are healed.” Not
only was Jesus beaten beyond recognition
but He was crowned with long thorns which
pierced His head causing blood to be dripping down His head from all sides. Not only that but they slapped Him repeatedly and
by the time He was condemned to die for a
crime He was totally innocent and was not
recognizable. Jesus looked out of eyes that
were bloodied and raw from a face that was
beaten black and blue but from eyes filled
with love as somehow, someway He made
His way down the street to Calvary. Dropping His cross many times due to His heavy
blood loss, finally He gets some help until He
reaches His final destination: to be nailed to
a cruel and ugly cross for something He did
not do. Listen to the nails go into His hands
and feet and see the blood flow from them.
Watch as they suspend Him high in the air
in between two thieves. His disciples fled except for John the beloved who stands there
with His mother, Mary and the other Mary.
Hear something else too? The dripping of
blood flowing still from His many wounds
and over head buzzards circle as they think
of their next meal. How sad to hear of everyone including the soldiers arguing even now
over Jesus robe which they take off and gamble for as it is made without a seam. Even
wonder who made that robe? Now look but
hide your eyes as Jesus is naked on the cross.
Think now of the abject humiliation of what
He did for us and how He was willing to go
to any length to say how much He loved us!
Can you get this picture inside yourself? Do
you think if there was any other way a loving God could save this sin-filled world He
would allow anyone to go through this cruel
treatment? The truth is there was NO OTHER way and BECAUSE OF THIS many people have looked at the cross and said Yes to
Jesus and have become disciples of His willing to die for Him if need be. But let’s go
on with this story because it does not just
end with Jesus dying on the cross. No, Jesus dies alright and was taken down off that
cross and placed in a borrowed tomb and
guards were there day and night just making sure no one stole His body and claim He
was risen. Something happened during the
night on the third day that had never happened before and His disciples remembered
Him saying He would rise on the third day.
Yes, and on that third day bright and early in the morning, Jesus did rise proving to
all He is the resurrection and the life and all
who believe in Him shall not die but live! Jesus died never more to die again and today
is in heaven having provided salvation for all
of us! Why did He die? So you and I can go
to heaven and right here and now have life
and have it more abundantly! His invitation
is for each of us no matter where we live, no
matter what we have done wrong. Today He
calls each of you to accept His free invitation
of life everlasting and a great life full of joy
here and now!
Are you tired of living the same way and
never getting anywhere? If so you need Jesus just like I do. We are all sinners but Jesus has provided His death as payment for
your sin debt in full. Ask Him into your heart
and to forgive you of your sins and then find
a church that believes and preaches Jesus
Christ. The day you do this will be your great
escape. You can’t live life alone. Jesus wants
to come in and give you that joy filled life
that He came to die for just for you. Make
this day the best day of your life and the best
Easter ever! Step out in faith and do it today!
John 3:16 says this: “For God so loved the
world, that He gave His one and only Son
that whoever believes in Him shall not die
but have eternal life.” Happy Easter and God
bless each of you!
In His greatest love ever told,

Franke, Jaskinia wed in Kosciusko
Katherine Elizabeth Franke, the daughter of Douglas
and Ann Franke of Kenedy,
Texas, married Russell James
Jaskinia, the son of Michael
and Debbie Jaskinia of Kosciusko, Texas, on Saturday,
January 30,2010. The ceremony took place in the St.
Ann’s Catholic Church in Kosciusko and was officiated by
Father Dennis Archeiga. Katrina Cachau and Amie Trevino delivered the scripture
readings.
Amy Alexander was the vocalist and organist. Attending the bride in Alfred Angelo chiffon satin grape colored
dresses were maid of honor
Deborah Frnake, sister of the
bride; matron of honor Kimberly Loveland, sister of the
bride; and bridesmaids Stacy Koether, Katie Ashby, Kara Thompson, Heather Jendrusch, and Katie Wilmes.
The flower girls were Caitlin and Courtney Wientjes,
and ring bearer was Caden
Koether.
The best man was Chance
Kutac, lifelong friend of the
groom.
The groomsmen
were Brandon Scheffler, Scott
Pruski, Cameron Poth, Bradley Koether, Shea Urso, and
Justin Russell. Serving as ushers were Garrett Lyssy, Scott
Catalena, Kevin Pruski, and
Kley Pruski.

arm of her father. The Bride

By Amelia Simmons
I recently bought a box of eggs from
chickens that were fed a multi grain diet.
They were a bit more pricey than my
regular brand. I was making a sponge cake
for a dessert and the eggs had golden yellow
yolks, so my finished cake had a lovely
rich color instead of being pale and sickly.
I didn’t notice any better flavor, but it sure
was worth the extra pennies.
On my next run through the baking aisle I
picked up a box of chemical wonder AKA the
miracle yellow cake mix. I’m an inveterate
reader and critic of ingredient labels. The
mix contains all the same ingredients as a
made from scratch cake plus a whole lot of
additives that help ensure that each cake
is a replica of the one that came before.
Instead of eggs, emulsifiers like mono and
diglycerides incorporate air into the batter
and the all natural yellow color comes from
food coloring, not the real thing. Given the
choice, who wouldn’t choose to opt for the
fresh, honest flavors of an all natural cake?
I’ll pay my extra fifty cents any day.
Not to mention, I just feel a little bit better
for those pesky chickens.

by Terri Pruski. Her gown was
designed by Pronovias and
was an beaded strapless layered silk gown with white, silver, and gold threads, among
many Swarovski crystals that
adorned the bodice and ran
along the skirt and train. the
gown was cathedral length.
Crystals adorned the edges of
her cathedral-length veil.
Katherine is the grand-
daughter of Iva Bridges and
the late Pete Bridges of Three
Rivers, and the late Fred and

trees with white. His First
Wife is called Cripple. She
has no children, so his Second Wife is the slave raising
seven children, working the
fields of manioc and doing all
the chores of the Witch Doctor’s household. Naturally
there is resentment and jealousy between the wives. First
Wife becomes a house worker for Amanda and becomes
her friend.
Baby Boy is left to play under a big tree, while Second
Wife works in the fields. He
picks up a “stone” the size of
a baseball. When the Witch
Doctor recognizes the stone
as at least an 80 carat diamond, he enlists the aid of
the French post man to get
the diamond to the Belgian
cutters. What follows is a lot
of intrigue as the Europeans

sell it for the millions they

of the mines is being threatened with the loss of his position because the Belgian
consortium want more then
diamonds from the mines.

New book to read at Karnes City Public Library
At the Karnes City Library
there is a 2009 printed fictionalized account of life in
the Belgian Congo just prior
to the granting of independence from Belgium. The author was born and raised in
Africa. Her family was one
missionary family surrounded by African tribes. Her
love for the Africans flows
throughout this account of
a small Belgian town on the
Congo River. The River separates the Belgian managers of
the diamond mines from the
Africans who do all the work
in the fields of manioc, the
house work for the Europeans and work in the diamond
mines.
The story begins in 1958
when young Amanda Brown
arrives alive when the small
airplane crashes on the end
of the dirt runway that is overrun by pigs. She has come to
do missionary work to be in
charge of the guesthouse for
missionaries.

the colonial power for a very
limited time as the Africans
are demanding “Independence, Independence, Independence!”
When the green truck goes
through the guard rail into the Congo River, First Wife
admits to tampering with the
steering wheel and brakes.
She is held for trial by the Provincial Govenor. Of course
she continues to admit guilt
in the murder of the Portuguese store keeper and uses
her gallows to proclaim a call
for independence. Murder,
intrigue, and planning produce a spectacular finish to
this novel. Be sure to look for
this book on the circular desk

Church
Kenedy First Baptist Church news
Today Pastor John Wheat
preached the on the three
crosses seen at Calvary. The
first cross beside Jesus was the
cross of rebellion on which
the rebellious thief hung who
hurled insults at Jesus and
told Him to save Himself and
them. The rebellious cross
becomes ours when we chose
not to obey God. On the other side of Jesus was the cross
of repentance on which the
other thief, aware of his sins
and mistakes in life hung.
The repentant thief rebuked
the other one saying they deserved death while Jesus was
innocent. Acknowledging Jesus Kingdom he asked to remember him when He goes
into Paradise and Jesus says
in Luke 23:43: “Today you
will be with me in paradise.”
When we repent and follow
Jesus the cross of repentance
becomes ours. The third cross
was the cross of Redemption
which only Jesus can own as
He alone is the sinless Son of
God who becomes the final
Passover Lamb. God’s plan of
redemption was there from
all eternity even before He
said: “Let there be light.” Jesus was born in a borrowed
cave, preached from a borrowed boat, fed 5,000 with a
borrowed lunch, rode into Jerusalem on a borrowed colt,
borrowed the upper room for
the Last Supper, at His death
was laid in a borrowed tomb
but His Cross was all His. God
loved us before He created
us so much that He had Jesus dying on the cross for the
salvation of the world that we
might come into relationship
with Him and know Him as
Lord and Saviour. There’s also a fourth cross which be-
comes ours when we do as Jesus says when we obediently
follow after Him carrying our
cross daily. There is nothing
that can compare to following
Jesus daily as a disciple of His
for it is a life full of joy when
you live just for Him. Know
Jesus in a relationship, not a
religion. Know Jesus through
the Holy Spirit living in you
and as His disciple the joy and
abundance that life brings
out of that relationship.
Our deepest sympathies
go to the families of Terrace
Gill, Clyde Elliott, Kenneth
Shockley, and Eileen Friesen
Neufeld.
Our drama and musical
production of the Day He
Wore My Crown was attended by many over the weekend
and we are deeply grateful for
the Lord blessing this.
United Methodist Church news
We are welcome to worship
with us at Hogg Plum Texas –
7:00am – for the Sunrise Easter Service, April 4th. Worship
will be at sunrise, followed by
a breakfast and Easter egg
hunt. All are welcome to join
us!! Regular Sunday morning
service is at 11:00am, there
will be no Sunday School
classes. If you need information or help, Pastor Ken
Houston can be reached at
780-3324 or 780-3307. United
Methodist Church is located
at 201 North Esplanade.
The devotion for this week
is “He is Risen” by Cam Homeyer, daughter of the King.
Scripture is from Mark 16:6.
“Don’t be afraid. I know
you’re looking for Jesus the
Nazarene, the One they nailed
on the cross. He’s been raised
up, he’s here no longer.” I believe those are the strongest
words spoken to mankind.
Do you realize that because
of this rising – death no longer has a hold on us. And at
the appointed time of Christ’s
return, death will no longer
be. Gone! Can you imagine
a world without death? Not
just death in humans, but all
death – whether it be plants
or animals.
One of the meanings of
rise from Webster’s dictionary is “to reach a higher status or level of importance.”
When I study the Word and
realize what Jesus did for us
through His death – He gave
us a higher level of importance. We will now be able to
share heaven with Him.
May this Easter give you
confidence to live as a “important” child of God, knowing that death is a part of history and not anywhere in our
future!! Live like there is no
death – because there is none
through Christ!!
Thought: Rise up, you no
longer need to fear!
Prayer: Lord, what love You
have for us, that You would
give everything You have for
us. Your life. In Your precious
Name, Amen.
Greater Life Pentecostal Church news
“SIMPLY JESUS”
(2 Corinthians 11:3) Life
on this earth is complicated.
Make a determined choice to
return to the simplicity that
is in Christ. What the apostle Paul calls a “sincere and
pure devotion” to Him speaks
of a single-mindedness, a focused effort to place Jesus at
the center of all that we say,
do, and think. (Colossians
1:18) “Let your all be all!”Ask
yourself: Do you make Jesus central, supreme, preeminent in every area of your
life? The failure to consciously keep Jesus at the very center of our lives is probably a
major cause of many of the
problems we experience in
life. Here are some examples
to ponder. Have you made
Jesus and His teachings preeminent... in your choice of
friends; in your interaction
with your family; in your career choices; in your motives
for attending church services; in your pursuit of healing?
We make a big deal out of everything, when all we need is
simply JESUS.
People don’t need fancy speeches to get saved.
They need a simple presentation of the Gospel of Christ
— that is, that Jesus died for
our sins, was buried, and rose
again (1 Corinthians 15:24). The apostle Paul said, “By
this gospel you are saved” (1
Cor. 15:2). Quite simply, Jesus
loves you enough to die for
you, to forgive your sins, and
He rose again from the dead.
That Gospel about Jesus, said
Paul, is “the power of God for
the salvation of everyone who
believes” (Romans 1:16).
There was no fanfare when
Peter healed Aeneas, a paralytic (Acts 9:33-34). As far as
we can tell, Peter didn’t even
offer any preliminary preaching or counseling. He simply declared, “Aeneas, Jesus
Christ heals you.” Notice how
simple Peter’s approach was:
“Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals
you. Get up.” I believe that is
an excellent model for us to
ponder as we seek to see people healed of their afflictions
and ailments — “Jesus Christ
heals you!” Likewise, Peter’s
listeners were baptized in the
Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues as they heard
the Good News about Jesus
Christ (Acts 10:36, 43-46). In
all four Gospels Jesus is identified as the one who baptizes us in the Holy Spirit (see
Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8; Luke
3;16; John 1:33). If you are
seeking the fullness of the
Holy Spirit, seek it from Jesus!
In explaining the mighty outpouring of the Spirit on Pentecost (Acts 2:33), the apostle Peter said, “Exalted to the
right hand of God, he [Jesus] has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit
and has poured out what you
now see and hear.” Look to Jesus for the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Stay focused on “the simplicity that is in Christ” (2 Cor.
11:3). He is the answer to every need and every problem
that we will encounter in this
life.
Everyone is invited to attend our Easter Resurrection
Service at Greater Life UPC at
the corner of S. Panna Maria
and 181 in Karnes City. Service will begin at 2:00 P.M.
with an Easter egg hunt to follow. For more info please call
830-780-2068.
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church news
"Understanding Life's
Passions"
Delving into the passions
which rule our lives as we
travel the paths which God
set into motion at our birth
was the purpose of the homily by the Rev. David W. Collins
III, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, from the Children's Message to the adult
congregation on the Sunday
of the Passion/Palm Sunday.
Palm Sunday began with
the procession of members
carrying palm branches to
deposit at the altar, much as
the Christians did when Jesus rode the colt into Jerusalem and was proclaimed king
and messiah by those along
the pathway. The passion of
Jesus in this instance was to
humble himself to death on
the cross after which God exalted him and gave him the
name above all names. Jesus
thus was recognized in heaven and on earth as Christ the
Lord.
Collins explained that the
story of Jesus empowers us
with love and passion. The
story tells us who we are in
this religious world making
us bolder and stronger. We
recognize how we fit into Jesus' world and are guided to
share our story with the people in our lives as we continue the good work as the beautiful children of God.
The Holy Scriptures, read
by Mary Maddox, were taken from Luke, Isaiah, Psalm
31, Philippians, the Gospel of
Luke 22-23:14-56.
Prayers were made to sustain the sick and dying, the
hungry and homeless, and all
who are weary from illness.
Condolences and sympathy
is extended to the family and
friends of Joyce Liska, who
died this past week.
Prayers were made for
those who enforce peace
around the globe to help the
victims of persecution and
oppression, particularly those
from Karnes County: Justin Chandler, James Skinner,
John Theriot, Robby Zamora,
Delmiro Villanueva Jr., Jamaica Goodhue, Michael Rosales,
Tyler Hackney, Dusty Culpepper, Kassie Villanueva, Alao
Hogan, Json Kotzur, Anthony Alvarez, Brian and Michael
Whitley, Derrick Black, Felipe
Leal Jr., Garrett Petterson, Logan Ketron, and Alex Kotara.
Paul Pfeifer announced that
a member of the Synod will
speak with St. Paul's congregation on tips how to regenerate the life of the church.
Lisa Collins indicated the
progress of the Haiti Disaster Relief drive with news of
items that have been donated for Lutheran World Relief.
All kits and the quilts are being readied for shipment on
April 7 to Seguin.
Easter is arriving. Maundy Thursday Services will be
April1st at 7pm. Good Friday Services will be April 2nd
at 7pm. Easter Morning Celebration will be April 4th at
7am. A continental breakfast will follow in the Fellowship Hall. An Easter Egg Hunt
is planned for the children after the breakfast.
First Presbyterian Church news
Upon entering the sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church, the congregation
was greeted with a colorful
array of Easter bonnets on
the ladies of the church. Treva
and Bobby Fossler welcomed
everyone and provided bulletins. Jan Johnson provided
beautiful piano music for the
service.
Elizabeth Villines acted as
liturgist, assuring us of God’s
forgiveness of our sins: “God
contends with us in our fears,
identifies our rebellion and
transforms us into an obedient and courageous people
and church!”
Pastor Chuck Gibbs read
the scriptures for the day:
Psalm 118, Luke 19; 28-48,
and Isaiah 50: 4-9a.
DONKEY ONE was the title
of Pastor Gibbs’ sermon. If the
President of the United States
rides in AIR FORCE ONE, why
would the King of Kings ride
a donkey?
The primary text for the
Palm Sunday sermon began
with Luke 19: 28. Jesus was
headed to Jerusalem. When
he got near Bethphage and
Bethany, he sent two of the
disciples with instructions to
go to the village. He said, “As
soon as you enter, you'll find a
colt, one that has never been
ridden. Untie it and bring it to
me. If anyone says anything,
tell him that his Master needs
him.“ The two disciples left
and found the young donkey
just as Jesus said they would.
The owner said, "What are
you doing?” They said, "Your
Master needs him." They
took the colt to Jesus, throwing their coats on its back,
and helping Jesus get on it. As
Jesus rode, people gave him a
grand welcome.
Pastor Gibbs posed this
question to the congregation:
Why did Jesus select a donkey? First, it indicated to everyone that Jesus was coming
in peace and friendship. Also,
Jesus was fulfilling Old Testament prophecy. Jesus was also showing that he came to
serve and not to be served.
Peace: Jesus was coming in
peace – the peace of God that
passes understanding. Shalom. Jesus was reinforcing his
teaching to his disciples. Over
and over he taught them:
“make peace” each day. Jesus
also directs us to do the same.
Make peace each day and
treat people like Jesus would
treat them. Treat them so that
they might ask: are you Jesus?
Pat and Joe Blackburn provided a beautiful arrangement for Palm Sunday of
white and pink roses in a pink
antique vase for the altar in
memory of their parents.
Following the church service, everyone adjourned to
the fellowship all for an Easter luncheon. A child’s dream
(and an adult’s too), bunnies were everywhere. Riding a “rocking rabbit,” here;
gardening there! The tables
were decorated in Easter col-
ors with little “rabbit overalls”
stuffed full of roses and candy. The Presbyterian Women decorated, with the artistic
expertise of Ann Graham and
Barbara Barnett. Strawberry Easter Eggs were at each
place setting.
The array of food and
cooks, with and without Easter bonnets, was nothing
short of remarkable, including a delicious cake depicting
a three-dimensional lamb on
a field of green. A creation of
Fran Gibbs. Each person was
given a bag of Easter goodies
and Ed Farris had the lucky
(or maybe not so lucky) gold
mark on the bottom of his
plate for which he was awarded a chicken that could lay an
egg!
The congregation invites
everyone to the Maundy
Thursday service, a unique
and meaningful service beginning at 7:30 p. m. on April
1.
Easter services begin at 11
a.m. on Sunday and will include the service of baptism.

St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church news
St. Matthew’s Episcopal
Church of Kenedy celebrated The Sunday of the Passion
with Reverend John Padgett
as pastor and assisted by Gina Franka, seminarian. Neil
Nichols was the Lay Minister
and Jose and Salome Ramirez
were the Lectors.
Being Palm Sunday the
walkway and church were
decorated with palm leaves to
signify Jesus’ passage into Jerusalem. The service began
outside with the introduction
to the liturgy of the Palms.
Everyone had a palm cross
to pin on as we marched in.
Once inside, the congregation
participated in the reading of
the Gospel of Luke’s account
of Christ’s being condemned
to die on the cross. Each person read a character’s part,
such as Pilate, Jesus, Evan-
gelist, centurions, Peter, and
servants.
After reliving this event, the
service proceeded with the
Readings. The First Lesson
was Isaiah 50:4-9 read by Jose.
It told how Isaiah as a teacher of God was often persecuted but stood firm in his faith
and service to God. God was
his strength and he only answered to God.
The Second Lesson Philippians 2:5-11 was read by Salome. Paul tells them to try
to be in the mind that was in
Christ Jesus. Though he was
of God, Jesus humbled himself and did not use his powers for his own needs and glory. God exalted Jesus and said
every knee would bow to him
and every tongue would confess his glory.
Gina delivered the sermon
and discussed the re-enactment of the Passion of Christ
through all these years. This
is a story that upsets us and
is hard to do, but it must be a
part that is included in order
to understand Christ’s sacrifice. Jesus was from a small
place of Galilee and was going
to the huge city of Jerusalem.
The people involved were the
disciples, Romans, Jews, rulers, and leaders of the religious beliefs of the day. They
all had decisions to make
about what to do about Jesus.
What would you have done in
that time? Can you see yourself in their places?
Jesus was sent to the world
to bring the Good News, to
heal the sick and help the oppressed and yet it was man
who crucified him. Luke emphasized how Jesus was in-
nocent of any guilt. Would
you have stood up for Jesus in
these circumstances? As we
experience these events during the coming week, think
about how all of this concerns
you today, and be ready to receive the Good News of Easter.
We were happily blessed
by having Elizabeth and Paul
Dent, our one time beloved
members, visit with us. We
look forward to Holy Week
with services of Tenebrae on
Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. by Neil
Nichols.; Maundy Thursday, 7:30 p.m.; and Good Friday, 7:30 p.m. with Reverend
Padgett. Easter Sunday service will be at 8:45 a.m., April
4. All visitors are welcome to
attend.
Kenedy Church of Christ news
STANDING FIRM
PREACHING CRIST
What do you do with gossip? How do you handle it
when you hear someone
speaking against your brother? What do you do with information that would bring
disgrace on the church?
Paul writes to the Philippians; “Whatever happens,
conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of
Christ. Then, whether I come
and see you re only hear
about you in my absence, I
will know that you stand firm
in one spirit, contending as
one man for the faith of the
gospel without being frightened in any way by those who
oppose you. This is a sign that
they will be destroyed, but
you will be saved – and that
by God.” (1:27-28)
Paul, the number one
spokesman for Christianity
was imprisoned. The world
was confident that this Christianity movement would
quite down and go away.
But Paul writes that his imprisonment would actually
serve to advance the gospel
(1:12-14).
How do we preach Christ?
Is it out of selfish ambition
or rivalry? Or is it out of love?
Paul writes from prison and
yet he writes rejoicing because he is wholeheartedly serving Christ. In the first
century as well as today some
people let their own egos take
the driver’s seat of their Christianity. Paul says the important thing is that Christ gets
preached, whatever our motivation.
Paul writes, “For to me,
to live is Christ and to die is
gain.” These words make
me think of the Islamic religion. Martyrdom seems to be
a selfish thing to them. It is
so I can see Allah, or so I can
receive the 100 young women or whatever it is. To the
Christian, yes it is better to
die and be with the Lord. Yet
by remaining here we have
the opportunity to carry out
the work God has for us to do.
Paul is torn.
Paul’s attitude was that he
wanted to serve in the way
that would bring the most
glory to Christ. And he was
convinced that that meant
continuing teaching and
serving others. Whatever our
situation, we must stand with
God and with one another.
At this time of the year the
entire world is thinking of
the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. It is a reminder to Christians of the sacrificial love we are to model and
share everyday. Live for Jesus and stick together with
his people. “…Stand firm in
one spirit, contending as one
man for the faith of the gospel without being frightened
in any way by those who oppose you.”
Choate Baptist Church news
What is revival? The dictionary defines revive as to
bring back to life; consciousness. Revival is simply the
act of being revived. Over the
years I have been to several
revivals only to find a spark of
what the Spirit of God has for
me. Honestly, the word revival hasn’t appealed to me for a
few years now because I knew
that once revival was over so
was that feeling of being revived. This week our church
held a revival that has opened
my eyes to a whole new world
and sparked new life in me.
Not just in me but in many
more also. Our members and
our visitors have joined in
and even those who have not
been to our church in years
have come. Why? What is different here? Maybe it was
the fact that there has been
laughter and joy, excitement
and enthusiasm. What is it
that brings people to revival? After all this was not a traditional Baptist revival at all.
Our guest speaker was Bro.
David Parks from the Cow-
boy church in Goliad. Sunday
we had a wonderful service
and after that we had a meal
for everyone. Then we tossed
horseshoes and washers and
later played a game of softball
that went on for about 19 innings, I think. Sunday was an
all day event that came at a
price with sore muscles, but
it was worth it and it was fun.
Sunday night, some good old
fashion songs, country cowboy style with a fantastic band
playing for us. It was loud
and wonderful, but what was
amazing is when we started our regular congregational singing, the people sang
out even louder and the only instrument played at that
time was the piano. There
were people and even pastors of different denominations present and they even
came back. To top it off on our
last night we had a Bluegrass
county Christian band come
and sing some of the old forgotten songs. The sermon
topic was taken out of Matthew 16. Who is the Christ?
Folks this is what revival is all
about and this is what people are looking for when they
come to church. They look for
a place where they can worship and get right with God
and then a place where they
can come and enjoy themselves in fellowship. This has
brought a buzz to our community and from there it has
only gotten better. For the
first time in years I have actually been revived. Bro. David
Parks preached his first sermon out of Ezekiel 37 where
the scripture speaks of a field
of dead and dry bones where
the prophet saw them come
back to life through the hand
of God. What a sermon! Wish
all of you could have been
there.
Are we so dull in our religion that we have become
dead in Christ and appear to
him as dry bones? If so then
read this story of how the Lord
can not only bring us back to
life but also revive us. I have
seen great light this week and
life has a new meaning for me
once again. Praise the Lord!
Someone even said that was
the first preacher they had
heard in 28 years that they
just really and truly enjoyed.
I’m glad they experienced revival again even if it took 28
years to come back to life.
Then the Lord hit me that this
was also a message for me. It
hasn’t been 28 years but I can
truly say that I’ve enjoyed this
revival.
Choate you have been revived. God has remembered
you. Today he has come back
to you. Now it remains, what
are you going to do with being revived? I am praying we
will continue in the Way. What
is Easter? Isn’t it about Jesus
who had died and came back
life? He made salvation available for all.
We would like to extend
an invitation for all to come
and worship with us at Choate Baptist Church. Sunday
school starts at 9:40 am and
our Worship services start at
11:00 am, and Sunday nights
at 7:00pm.
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church news
“PRAISING JESUS”
On Palm Sunday, members
of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church began our morning worship service with a
procession from the Fellowship Hall, around the front
lawn, then into the church
sanctuary, carrying our palm
branches and singing the
processional hymn, “All Glory, Laud, and Honor”.
The scriptures for the day
were Isaiah 50: 4-9a, Psalm
31: 9-16, Philippians 2: 5-11,
and the processional gospel
lesson was Luke 19: 28-40. At
this time Jesus and His disciples were on their way to Jerusalem. When they had come
near Bethphage and Bethany, a place called the Mount
of Olives; Jesus sent two of his
disciples on ahead to acquire
a colt. They brought it to Je-
sus and after throwing their
cloaks on it, they set Jesus on
it. As He rode along, people
kept spreading their cloaks
on the road in front of Jesus.
As they neared the Mount of
Olives, the whole multitude
began to praise God joyfully for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying “Blessed is the King who
comes in the name of the
Lord! Peace in heaven, and
glory in the highest heaven!”
Some of the Pharisees in the
crowd told Jesus to order His
disciples to stop, but Jesus
said, “I tell you if these were
silent, the stones would shout
out.”
Instead of a sermon, Pastor Wally Schievelbein read
us the story of Jesus’ betrayal,
trial, and crucifixion as it is recorded in Luke 22:14 – 23:56.

Liska
Joyce Heinen Liska of
Karnes City, Texas died on Friday, March 26, 2010 at the age
of 74, after a two year battle
with cancer.
Joyce was born on August 20, 1935 to Gerhard
Fred Heinen and Irma Anna
Braune in Three Rivers, Texas. She graduated from Three
Rivers High School in 1953.
Shortly, thereafter, she married that cute guy in the band,
Vincent, on October 24, 1953.
They danced in each others
arms for 56 years and raised
four children.
Joyce enjoyed life as a
homemaker,
bookkeeper
and manager of the local Ben
Franklin store for 17 years,
and bookkeeper of the bridge
construction company, Liska Construction Company,
she owned with her husband.
She loved to cook with her
desserts, pies, cookies, cakes,
or kolaches, always the first to
go at gatherings. Joyce would
see an outfit and go home
and make it. As more ready
made clothes became available, she sewed baby blankets
and quilts. There was never a
nursery she went in that she
did not come out with a plant
or more. Her other passion
was reading. She loved novels. In retirement, Joyce and
Vincent enjoyed many trips
together gambling.
Joyce is preceded in death
by her parents, brother, Johnnie Heinen and sister, Mabel Kotara. She is survived by
her husband, Vincent Liska,
her children and their spouses, Pam and Francis Kotara,
Tim and Sandra Liska, Don
and Nancy Liska, and Lynette
and Mike Picco, her grandchildren, Kristen Kotara Potter and husband, Michael,
Duane Kotara, Tyler Liska and
fiancée, Jackie Kulesza, Travis Liska, Tara Liska, Matthew
Picco, and Andrew Picco, her
sisters, Jean Buehring, Dora
White, Ruby Pugh, Mary Jane
Heinen, and Helen Guynes,
and many, many nieces and
nephews.
Visitation was held Monday, March 29, 2010, starting
at 2:30 PM. A rosary was recited at 7 PM at Rhodes Funeral Home in Karnes City
with Father Stanislaw P. Marciniak officiating. A funeral mass was held on Tuesday,
March 30, 2010 at 10 AM at St.
Cornelius Catholic Church in
Karnes City with her nephew, Father James Kotara, officiating. Interment followed
in the Hobson Cemetery in
Hobson.
Serving as pallbearers were
her grandchildren, grandsonin- law, Michael Potter, and
her nephews, H.R. Buehring,

friends, Werner Ahrens, Fabian Biela, Louis Lobner, and
George Smolik and long time
Company employees, Richard Asebedo, Henry Gamboa,

Urrutia.

At the request of a reader we are republishing a sports item that was originally published in the Dallas Morning News. Nick Soefje has family in the Karnes County area.
Watch out for the javelin at park
HIGH SCHOOLS
MATT WIXON
[email protected]
Frisco Wakeland senior
finds unusual place to
practice his throwing
F
RISCO — Nick Soefje
hopes to someday put on
a show with a 250-foot
javelin throw in an NCAA track
meet. But right now, the Frisco
Wakeland senior puts on a
show when he throws the javelin any distance.
That’s because he practices
in a park across from his house,
and it’s quite a sight. In a grass
area about the size of a football
field, next to a community pool,
a guy who looks like a linebacker is launching javelins.
“A lot of people in the neighborhood know him,” said Tim
Soefje, Nick’s father.
I would guess so. When a
teenager is hurling a sharp object into the air, people will investigate. Some people just
stand and stare as Soefje
launches the javelin, runs after
it and then repeats.
“During the summer,” Nick
Soefje said, “I had a few kids at
the pool say, ‘Mommy, mommy,
what’s he doing?’ ”
It’s a fair question. What is
Soefje, a 5-10, 190-pound former wrestler and football player, doing each afternoon?
ANDY JACOBSOHN/Staff Photographer
Frisco Wakeland senior Nick Soefje will throw the javelin for Mississippi State, even though he doesn’t compete for his
high school. That’s because the javelin is not offered in high school competition in Texas.
The answer:
He’s becoming an elite track
athlete in an event not offered
in high school competition in
Texas. That’s why few people
know the ability of Soefje, who
began throwing the javelin
when he was in seventh grade
and has a personal best of 172
feet, 9 inches.
Soefje can throw farther
than that, but he doesn’t have
many competitions to improve
on the mark. In the summer, he
competes in regional meets
through the Amateur Athletic
Union and USA Track and
Field. He has also competed
unattached in several college
meets, which is what led to
Mississippi State offering him a
scholarship.
When football players headlined the national signing day
in February, Soefje made his
scholarship to Mississippi
State official.
“When I signed,” Soefje said,
“I had three or four football
friends who were like, ‘How
long have you been doing this?
I had no idea.’ ”
Well, Soefje is a quiet guy.
And he practices the javelin far
from the Wakeland campus,
away from the members of the
track team and the track coaches.
Soefje doesn’t even have a
coach.
That’s the most amazing
part. Soefje puts himself
through his own daily 90-minute workout that includes practicing his run-up to the throw,
his cross-step and release.
“He’s pretty much selftaught,” his dad said.
Pretty much. But his dad,
who threw the javelin at Texas
and Texas A&I (now Texas
A&M-Kingsville), got Nick
started. Tim Soefje brought
home a javelin and let Nick try
it out.
He taught him the basics,
including how safety was rule
No. 1. That was it.
“It would be like a dad who
played little league baseball
telling his kid how to hold the
bat,” Tim Soefje said. “That’s
the extent of it.”
Nick Soefje’s only other
coach is Alex DeLuna. He
coaches some of the best javelin
throwers in the nation, including Texas A&M throwers, but
he lives 450 miles away in Laredo. Last summer, Soefje drove
there twice for instruction.
“He’s definitely got great talent, and he’s a pretty driven
kid,” DeLuna said. “Javelin is
just one of those sports where it
takes so long to develop.”
By the time Soefje is done
developing, DeLuna said, he
could be one of the top 10 javelin throwers in the nation. That
sounds good to Soefje, who has
been told he could easily throw
220 feet with specialized
coaching in college.
He’s hoping for 250 feet,
which would make Soefje a
contender for an NCAA title. It
would also earn him the recognition he doesn’t get now, but
Soefje doesn’t mind the lack of
attention. He doesn’t mind that
some of his best throws are witnessed only by curious passersby and families headed to the
pool.
“I kind of like being to myself,” he said. “I’ve never been
one of those kids who’s like,
‘Look at me, look what I can
do.’ ”
But if you go by the park,
take a look at what he can do.
It’s quite a show.

One-Act Play’s drama Advances to Area
By Brianna Morin
BT Reporter
Go back in time 75 years
ago to an Alabama courtroom. A
black man charged with raping
a young white woman faces his
accusers, seething with hate.
It’s all a lie though.
The accused man’s fate lies
in the hands of a jury of 12 white
men, who have no intention of
serving justice.
Carl “Bubba” Foley plays
that man, Tom Robinson,
in this year’s One-Act Play
performance of the courtroom
scene in a screen adaptation of
To Kill a Mockingbird.
“It just comes natural,”
Foley, a junior, said. “I just, uh,
felt so much remorse for the
character. Being a black student
myself, I just knew where my
character was coming from.”
The One-Act Play Cast
and Crew performed at district
Tuesday night, and was one
of two plays to advance to
Area April 10. The play’s
contribution allowed the UIL
Academic team overall to
reclaim the District 28-2A
championship by 9.5 points over
Navarro, whose play depicting
scenes from The Crucible also is
advancing. Nixon-Smiley’s oneact play “Rise and Shine” is the
alternate.
Foley won Best Actor out
of dozens of actors from all
six schools. Bridgette Matula
for her role as alleged victim
MayellaEwell, Matthew Soliz
for his part as the prosecutor
Mr. Gilmer and Joseph Barkley
portraying Robinson’s defense
attorney Atticus Finch were
named to the All-Star Cast, while
Garrett Denson as the scornful
father Bob Ewell earned him a
spot on the Honorable Mention
All-Star Cast. Assistant Director
Kevin Matula was recognized in
the Honor Crew.
The play is directed by
Stephanie Martinez, whose
commitment
to
excellence
propelled the group to its first
advancement in years.
“Coach Martinez and the
cast and crew did an amazing
job. This was an intense play

with a high difficulty level and
strong literary merit, and the
talent of these young people
enabled them to pull off the
win,” UIL Coordinator Julie
Nichols said. “The long hours of
practice paid off in competition
against a strong district.”
The group will continue to
practice and perfect areas Judge
Jacque Wyatt critiqued Tuesday
night.
“Most of the students have
given 100 percent because this
play portrays a very poignant
and emotional period in history,”
Martinez said. “Rehearsal can be
very emotionally draining. Most
of the students have worked
very hard to bring realness to
their characters.”
One theme of To Kill a
Mockingbird, a novel by Harper
Lee, is innocence lost, and the
inclusion of the widower Atticus
Finch’s children six-year-old
Scout Finch (Savanna Ramirez)
and her older brother Jem
(Matthew Winn) along with a
boy they befriend, Dill (Tristan
Ramirez),
highlights
this.
Atticus is appointed by the court
to defend a black man named
Tom, who has been accused of
raping Mayella, a 19-year-old
white woman. Although many of
Maycomb’s citizens disapprove,
Atticus agrees to defend Tom
to the best of his ability. Other

children taunt Jem and Scout for
Atticus’ actions. Because Atticus
does not want them to be present
at Tom’s trial, Scout, Jem, and
Dill watch in secret from the
“colored balcony,” along with
the Rev. Sykes (Enrico Cortez);
in fact Atticus’s housekeeper
and nanny Calpurnia (Desiree
De La Garza) comes looking for
the children, interrupting Judge
Taylor’s (Kaine Korzekwa)
courtroom. Atticus establishes
that the accusers — Mayella and
her father, Bob, the town drunk
— are lying. It also becomes
clear that the friendless Mayella
was making sexual advances
towards Tom, and when her
father caught her in the act,
he beat her. Despite significant
evidence of Tom’s innocence, the
jury convicts him. Even Sheriff
Heck Tate (Ethan Borroum),
the court clerk (Nick Smith)
and onlooker Maudie Atkinson
(Gabby Mika) are stunned.
Jem’s, Scout’s and Dill’s faith
in justice is badly shaken, as is
Atticus’s.
“I picked the courtroom
scene of To Kill a Mockingbird
because I think it gives the actors
and actresses a great chance to
showcase their dramatic sides,”
Martinez said.
While the play ends with
a helplessness to save Tom and
the clear disillusionment with
a broken Southern justice
system, the novel goes further
to include that Tom is shot and
killed while trying to escape
from prison.
““It shows the horrors
prejudice,” Barkley said.
After Atticus picked her
story apart when Bridgette
Matula in her role as Mayella
hollers to the jury, “I got
something to say …” audience
members from the various
towns at the district contest
literally were on the edge of
their seats.
“I think it shows how
serious the racism was and how
if anything, like a white girl
trying to tempt a black man,
were to happen, she’d go to
extreme, desperate measures,”
Bridgette Matula said. “I just
try to put myself in Mayella’s
shoes and from there, I take the
coaching from Coach Martinez
and Kevin (her brother) and
put it all together.”
Martinez wanted to keep
an authenticity to this historical
era in the South, and the use of
rough and racial language is a
natural part of that to bring
believability to the characters.
“I have to represent the
whole black community,”
Foley said. “It shows how
black people have come a long
way since then.”

Karnes City ISD Gifted and Talented Program
Parent/Student Nominations for Grades 1-12
Is your child highly curious,
beyond the group, an inventor, keenly observant, highly creative, or ask high level
questions? Does your child
discuss in detail and elaborate, show strong feelings and
opinions, initiate projects,
construct abstractions, or
thrive on complexity? If you
answered yes to any of these
questions, then he or she may
indeed be a gifted learner.
The Karnes City ISD Gifted & Talented Program serves
students in grades 1 through
12 in the four core curriculum
areas. The identification procedures for this program always start in the spring se-
mester of each year. One
part of the identification process includes giving parents/
students the opportunity to
nominate their child/self as
a possible candidate for this
special program.
The nomination period will
begin on Wednesday, March
31, 2010 and will end on Friday, April 9, 2010. Students
already in the program do not
need to be re-nominated. If
you feel your child should be
considered for the program,
please go by your child’s campus and request nomination
forms from the front office.
If the parent/guardian cannot pick up the form in person, you may send a written
request to your child’s teach-
er or counselor. Complete the
form and return them no later
than Monday, April 12, 2010.
Any form received after April
12, 2010 will not be considered for the program.
After nominations are received, a variety of tests will
be administered and data collected to determine whether your child qualifies for the
program. Parents/guardians
will then receive a notification letter by mail prior to the
beginning of the fall semester.
If you have any questions,
please call Lee Dockery at
780-2321, ext. 464.
Yeehaw! First graders at Roger E. Sides Elementary in Karnes City completed a unit of study on their state, Texas. They
learned some symbols of Texas and how to locate the state on a map. They created a repetitive book about it modeled
after a famous children’s’ book. To finish the unit, the children celebrated by making cowboy hats.

Science Project Winners Picked
By: Ashleigh Blocker
The seventh grade students had to create a threedimensional plant or animal
cell made out of edible food
for Coach Baugh’s 7th grade
science class. Their creations
were made out of anything
from a seven layer cake to a
jello mold. Chloe Wilson and
Jennifer Pruski were awarded
for having the most accurate
cells. Haleigh Blocker took the
awarded for the most disgusting project by creating it out
of yellow jello which turned
brown. Rowdy Kowalik and
Kali Dragon had the most attractive projects.
