Punchers take District
Championship
Debbie Cooper Kistler
The Junction Eagle
Last week, all eight of the
San Angelo Standard Times
staff “pickers” got it right
when they predicted Mason to
win Friday night’s “Game of
the Week”. It ended in a 41 to
28 loss for the Junction Eagles
and secured the District 29A
Championship for the Mason
Punchers. Now, the Punchers,
who are undefeated in district
play, have an open week,
before starting the playoffs.
The Eagles will finish the
season against the Menard
Yellowjackets on Friday, at
Eagle Stadium. This is a dangerous game for the Eagles
because they don’t need to
win in order to advance to the
playoffs, but Menard does.
Menard must beat Junction,
and Rocksprings will need to
beat Eldorado, to create a
three-way tie for third place
among Rocksprings, Eldorado
and Menard.
Coach Cory Spivey said that
the Jackets can be very tough
when all their players are
healthy. During the 2009 season, several key players have
been sidelined for various
games. As of press time, it
looked like the Eagles will be
facing all the Jackets this
week.
Last Friday evening, the
level of energy and excitement
in Mason was palpable.
Puncher confidence was evident as arriving school buses
and visiting fans passed
beneath a banner that warned,
“Nightmare on Puncher
Street”. It would turn out to
be referring to the third quarter
of the game.
During the first half, the two
teams
seemed
evenly
matched. Each scored early
and then spent the second
quarter trading possessions
without much progress. The
Puncher offense got nowhere
on their first try due to solid
defensive effort by Seth
Barclay, Jacob Chapman, Ty
Stapp and Eric Aguerro.
Then, starting at the Junction
48 yard line, the Eagles
offense ground out 52 yards,
with David Fuentes and Stapp
taking turns charging the
Puncher D. Stapp made significant yardage carrying a
few Cow Punchers with him,

Woody Gilliland of Abilene, right, president of West Texas
Rehab, awards Larry Crenwelge a silver belt buckle for 31
years of service with Roundup for Rehab in Kimble County.
The presentation was made at the annual lunch and auction
held last Monday.
Late in the fourth quarter, Tyler Wilson (12) hauls in a
Jason McKinnerney pass that would set the Eagles up for
their fourth touchdown. Tyler had scored earlier in the
quarter on a 39-yard pass play.

Welcome rains and cooler weather prompted a scramble by
Round-Up for Rehab volunteers last Monday as the 31st West
Texas Rehab Center event scheduled in the City Park was
quickly moved to First United Methodist Church fellowship
hall.
With the final call by auctioneer Johnny Lackey, more than
$7,000 had been raised for Rehab Center patient care programs,
and approximately 75 supporters had been fed a hot chuck
wagon meal cooked under a covered trailer by Rehab staffers
Archie Jobe, Ben Reeves and Roger Ellison.
Kimble County volunteers Larry Crenwelge, Hubert and
Sheila D’Spain, Tom and Linda Johnston, Todd D’Spain,
Darren Crenwelge and David and Marc’ Dobbins expressed
their appreciation to all who donated auction items and cash, as
well as those who had a good time bidding and buying. Cash

Meanderings
by Frederica Wyatt
The changing colors of the
native Sumac shrubs lining the
highways are vivid evidence
of the autumnal season. Soon
the Oaks will be displaying
their brilliant leaves, and other
trees will become denuded of
foliage. When the wind chill
dropped to thirty degrees, and
a hint of frost appeared on the
roof of my automobile in the
early morning hours of last
week, I was keenly aware of
the seasonal change. Daylight
Savings Time ended this
Sunday morning, and the
annual Hunters' Moon was at
its full glory Monday night.
Junction lost another substantial citizen Wednesday
with the home-going of Joe
Richard Andrews, Jr. He was
the son of the late Joe and
Bettie Collier Andrews, and
his wife was the late Jeannette
Lyckmann Andrews. Grandparents were William G. and
Sarah E. Highsmith Andrews
and John Calvin and Susie
Smith Collier. Joe was the
fourth generation of his maternal family to live in Kimble
County. He was a paternal
great-grandson of Benjamin
Highsmith, the last man to be
sent on a mission from the
Alamo before its defeat on
March 6, 1836.
Kimble County Historical
Commission has secured an
historical marker for the South
Llano River bridge crossing,
where Joe's dad was killed in
the final days of the bridge's
construction in 1937. It is
regrettable Joe did not survive
to assist with the dedication of
the marker when the present
bridge project is completed.
Last week began early when
Dr. Arthur and Elizabeth
Burden of San Antonio spent
some time at Kimble County
Historical Museum. Elizabeth
is the great-granddaughter of
Theophilus Christmus, who
once resided in Kimble
County. He was a native of
Rutherford County, North
Carolina, who made his way
to Texas. Shortly before his
move here, he sold his Llano
County land to William J.
Wyatt. One of the Christmus
daughters, Naomi Obedience
"Bede", married Andrew
Jackson Royal and were the
parents of the late Mrs. R. N.
(Lenora Royal) Teel. More
information is available in
Volume II, Families of Kimble
County.
Another
ancestor
of
Elizabeth Burden's was a sister to Dr. Daniel Bird, who
married one of the twin
daughters of George C.
Kimble. Dr. Bird died here in
1885 and is buried in the
Junction Cemetery. Charles
Byrd, another descendant,
sent me, via e-mail, news that
he is seeking an Historic
Cemetery designation for the
family cemetery in Wilson
County.
Another family researcher
who came our way was local
resident, Faye Barker, who
hails from Fort McKavett.
Much of my time last week
was devoted to compiling articles for the upcoming
"Hunters' Guide". It is always
a "labor of love" to relate stories from the past.
Despite inclement weather,
the West Texas Rehab Roundup was well attended, and
everyone enjoyed the western
barbecue
and
auction.
Volunteers who braved the
elements to make the event a
success deserve a round of
applause.
It had been several years
since I had seen Ellen and
Stephen Brown of San
Angelo. Dee and Jerry
Lackey, also of that city, are
another dear couple who play
an important role in Rehab
activities.
Several from the local com-
munity assisted, and it is a
blessing to live where folks
are willing to go an extra mile
for a worthy cause.
While in Fredericksburg on
a late-week necessary trip, I
chanced to see Mary Abilez,
who was accompanied by her
sister, Amelia Rodriguez of
Burley, Idaho. They reported
another
sister,
LaLa
Anguiano, is, temporarily, in a
rehab facility in Austin following recent leg surgery.
Our paths also crossed that
of Barbara Robbins Bishop,
who appeared to be "busy as a
bee".
Bernie DeWitt, via electronic mail, sent a query concerning William DeWitt, originally
from Oklahoma, who arrived
in Kimble County in the early
1900's, where the latter met
and married Vela Wagnon,
daughter of J. T. and Julia E.
Temple Wagnon. Bernie was
in Conroe recently and
perused both volumes of our
Families of Kimble County.
During the week, a telephone message arrived from
Lorraine Joy of Henley, who
is interested in securing a
Confederate marker for a
maternal great-grandfather,
James S. Sorrell. He is buried
in the old cemetery at Red
Rock, Texas.
Another message was from
Sue Ann Damron, vice-chairman for lineage research for
the Texas Society, Daughters
of the American Revolution.
She and I discussed the possibility of scheduling a genealogy workshop in early 2010.
Veterans' Day is fast
approaching, and several
events are scheduled for
November 10 and 11. We
hope you will make plans to
be in attendance.
Saturday, November 7, is
the date for the Rotary benefit
to be held at Parker Lumber
Company. Rotarians will be
selling barbecue sandwiches,
and we hope you will support
this project.
Scott Parker of Beaumont,
president of Parker Lumber
Company, was guest speaker
at Thursday's meeting of the
Junction Rotary Club. He presented a $10 gift certificate to
everyone in attendance, and I
am personally grateful for his
generosity. Program chair was
Michael Zaborowski.
Happy birthday wishes go
to my daughter, Charlotte, on
November 9!
Book Review
By Rosanna Stapp
The Color of
Lightning
by Paulette Jiles
Britt and Mary Johnson and
their three children, Jim, Jube
and Cherry, live near Elm
Creek, Texas, in 1863. Britt
carries
freight
from
Weatherford to Fort Belknap
and Fort Concho.
In October of 1864, Britt
and some men from a neighboring
ranch
go
to
Weatherford for supplies.
Mary and the children stay
with Mrs. Fitzgerald at the
ranch.
That day the ranch is over
run by Comanche and Kiowa
Indians. Some at the ranch are
killed, but the women and
children are kidnapped. When
Britt returns, he goes after
them.
This is based on a true family and incident that happened
in Texas. Ms. Jiles does a
wonderful job weaving a story
around the facts.

Golf News
by Ruth James
Watching Doug Adams and
Mick Casaday, two stalwarts
of the Golf Club, play number
4 reminded me of all the great
individuals whose help we've
had in the past. A few are
remembered with a memorial
plaque. Mickey Cavanass has
an iron washer and plaque at
hole number one. Mickey
graduated in '58 and according
to Don Baugh, it was the best
class that ever graduated from
Junction High School. Mickey
was an outstanding athlete in
many sports, always on hand
to give a helping hand, so his
wife Linda placed his memorial at the golf course.
Next to his plaque is the
flagpole in memory of Daisy
Newby. What a gracious lady
she was, could run that club
office single-handed if need
be. The flag pole was given in
her memory by her husband
LaRue. LaRue was a hard
worker for the club too, mayor
of Junction and a ready wit.
On number two hole is a
bench donated by the "Wednesday Ladies" in memory of
Midge Richnow, a regular
Wednesday player and as happy
a golfer as there ever was.
A plaque on number three
hole remembers Herbert
Boerm, president of the golf
club when he died in '76. It
was given by the club members to remind all of us what a
worker Herbert was, and what
a friend. And our dear Jan
King who really saved the golf
club from financial collapse
left a living remembrance with
the murals she painted on our
club house walls. We remember these friends and so many
more.
Oh, and by-the-way, Doug
and Mick both birdied number
4. Doug drove to the green in
two and would have made that
eagle putt if I hadn’t been talking to him. These are two avid
golfers as was Woodrow
Wilson our biggest presidential fan of golf. He was known
to play six rounds of golf in a
week --- in any type of weather. In winter he used red golf
balls so he could find them in
the snow. His caddie was
required to carry a flash light
for rounds played in the
evening. He once played a
match that didn't end until 5
a.m.
The last scramble of the season was played last Thursday.
Winners were Ralph Tinney,
Shannon Boyles and Greg
Lawler. Ralph made an eagle
on number two, drove all the
way to the green and one
putted. What a way to end the
season!
Happy Birthday

Ivy Echoes
Joe R. Andrews
A long time educator, Dr.
Joe R. Andrews, passed away
October 27, 2009, after a brief
illness.
Joe was born in Junction on
June 30, 1923, the son of Joe
and Betty Andrews. He
attended Junction schools,
graduating in 1942. After serving in World War II, he
enrolled in Southwest Texas
State College where he met
the love of his life, Jeanette
Lyckman of Brady. They were
married on August 23, 1947,
and were together for almost
61 years before her death in
2008.
Joe is survived by his two
sons and daughters-in-law,
Joe, III and his wife, Janet, of
Sonora and Steve and his wife,
Nancy, of Mason and three
grandchildren, Joe IV, Scott,
and Audrey.
After graduating from college, Joe began his "professional career" as an athletic
coach, progressing to high
school principal and ultimately superintendent of schools.
He was superintendent in
Mertzon, Danbury, Hitchcock,
Boling and Sonora, where he
retired in 1983.
Active in civic affairs, Joe
served as a city councilman in
Junction, was a member of the
Lions Club, a "York Rite"
Mason, and a longtime member of First Baptist Church of
Junction.
Special thanks to Dr.
Martinez and the nurses of
Kimble Hospital for their loving care of Dad.
Dad's service was held at
First Baptist Church in
Junction, Texas, on Friday
October 30, 2009, at 10:30
a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials should be made to the
Friends of the Kimble County
Library, West Texas Rehab or
your favorite charity.

I enjoy all of the seasons, but
to me fall is the best. The cool
crisp air and the changing of
the leaves, pumpkin pie, deer
meat and family coming
together for Thanksgiving. It’s
hard to beat. Also, it’s the time
when the Hunter’s Guide
comes out and I get to read all
of Frederica’s latest stories she
works so hard on every year. It
takes a lot of time and research
to do what she does and a lot of
hard work by The Junction
Eagle staff to put together such
a great publication along with
the weekly Eagle. They
deserve a lot of thanks for the
terrific job they do.
I went to help clean out
Frankie and Joe Luchini’s
house in Junction this past
week and met the neighbors,
Roger and Billie Carlile. Talk
about a small world. Billie
Carlile used to be Billie Riley.
She and her brother and sister,
Sam and Liz Riley used to live
in Frankie and Joe Luchini’s
rock house that was located
Childress to become a salesman for West Texas Utilities.
In 1955, he began working
for the City of Childress as
City Secretary. In 1957, he
was named to succeed Joe
Howard as City Manager - a
position he would hold for the
next 20 years before retiring in
1977.
He and the late Charlotte
Boyd were married August 8,
1943, in Childress.
He was preceded in death
by his wife, Charlotte, and a
daughter, Carol Kindle.
Survivors include two
daughters, Linda Doyal of
Junction and Sandra Underwood of Flower Mound; eight
grandchildren, Keith Underwood, Michael Underwood,
Tara Doyal, David Doyal,
Kennon Doyal, Shonna
Castillo, Heather Kindle,
Paige Tipton and 14 greatgrandchildren. Sign the online

Deane sold the house in
Junction to the Luchinis,
which I thought was interesting, but even more interesting
that Billie Riley Carlile lived
right next door. Talk about a
small world.
I attended the memorial
service for Joe Andrews this
week. I didn’t realize that his
health wasn’t good, so it came
as a shock to me when I
learned of his death. My son’s
name is Joseph R. Andrews,
just like Joe’s name….but I
call him “Joey”. It was always
something we laughed about
because of the confusion it
sometimes caused. Especially
at the bank. Joey would have

Seems I have a good bit of
mail. Guess that way I’m
doing my bit to support the
postal service. Of course, a lot
of it is either asking for money
for a political party, a group
that has a “policy” they want
the government to enforce or
catalogues to order your hearts
desires. If you pay attention to
all of them, your bank account
suffers. I do at least look at
most of them.
One which caught my eye is
the pamphlet from the Institute
for Justice. It’s sort of like
pearls among swine. They
have a mission: the legal representation of small groups who
have been short changed by
some larger group who got to
the local authorities with either
influence or money to bar the
small group from doing their
chosen business by law or regulation.
One interesting abuse, eminent domain, has even made it
to the voting booth in Texas
this year. Using the government to condemn private prop-
erty of citizens for the economic benefit of others was
deemed unconstitutional. A
landmark case. Other smaller
government errors in protecting individual freedom are
endeavors of funeral home cartel in Maryland, bringing to
court campaign finance laws
which silence political speech
and make it nearly impossible
for anyone except political
pros to participate in any
meaningful way in the political
process, overturning a municipal boards action which prevented a woman from the
practice of equine massage.
She had a private certification
and had graduated from a massage therapy school. The local
board of chiropractic examiners, and the state veterinary
board chimed in to require her
graduation from vet school to
“massage”
horses.
The
Institute for Justice won. Now
she can massage horses? Yep.
My congratulations to this
constitutionally basic group.

other one”. Joey said he didn’t
want to attend the funeral with
me because frankly, it made
him feel weird. I didn’t insist.
Joe and Joey met for the first
time the day we went to visit
Mozelle Rogers Low, along
with Joy and Monte Robinett
of Tyler. Joy attended high
school at Eldorado when Joe
was superintendant there. He
was also the one who discovered her mother’s body after
she drowned on the Gephart
place above Yates crossing in
1941. Joy was just a baby
when that happened, and Joe
and Mozelle were able to share
with her details concerning her
mother’s death that she hadn’t
known about. It was a blessing
all the way around, for those
three to get together after all
those years.
I handled the funeral pretty
well, and didn’t tear up until
the man said that Joe had asked
for a particular song to be
sung. It was “Jesus Is All I
Need” and then the tears came.
Joe was a Christian, pure and

ST. THERESA CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS:
THANK YOU, JUNCTION!!
St. Theresa Catholic Church held its annual festival on September 26. The members wanted to say
a big "thank you" to all that came out and enjoyed
a great day of family fun and helped to support
the parish. Thank you to all those who helped
prepare and serve up the delicious food. Thank
you to all who worked and supported the games,
bingo, auction, raffle, country store, and all the
actvities held throughout the day. A big "Thank
You" to all the donors of the items for the auction.
We thank Mrs. Barbara Whitworth, Mr. Robby
Robinson and the Senior Citizen Center for allowing us to use their property and the Chamber of
Commerce for advertising on their sign. The festival was a success due to everyone's hard work
and willingness to help. May God bless you.
Hope to see everyone next year.

simple. His last message to his
friends and family couldn’t
have been more important,
more sincere and honest and
true, and for a man of achievements to acknowledge that
Christ was all he ever really
needed was to me, the most
touching thing, the sweetest
thing he could ever possibly
say. I felt kind of bad, because
the sermon was more or less
saying how he is better off, as
a Christian to be in Heaven,
that he is free from the burdens
and struggles of this life, and I
felt torn and miserable for several hours after the funeral was
over; not allowing myself to
cry because I felt that since I
am a believer I know he is in
Heaven. So I shouldn’t be sad
and then a small voice came to
me and it was two words.
Jesus wept. He wept when his
friend Lazarus died, even
knowing he was in Heaven, so,
I finally felt I had permission
to cry, and cry I did.

A message
from Chief Marvin Ivy
We
survived
another
Halloween. It has never been
my favorite celebration due to
my line of work. I spent
Sunday taking reports of various pranks that were not
appreciated. Mailboxes and
trash cans run over, eggs on the
roof....washing machine stolen
from the bed of a pickup?
Well, that was a new one, and
it did turn up later in the day.
Toilet paper sprouted from
trees and a good sized bag was
confiscated. No cows reported
being tipped over, and no one
reported vandalism to an outhouse, so I guess times are
changing.
Next weekend is important
SMALL TOWN
to Junction. Our retailers
depend on the deer hunters for
a lot of what drives both our
community and economy. We
all recognize it, and we all
have a part in how the community reaches out to our visitors.
Whether it is giving directions, taking time to wave or
just give a hunter a smile, we
individually reflect our community.
Last weekend, my wife had
a couple of big city friends
over to spend a fall afternoon
on the river, and they seemed
to have a good time. Why they
had to wear witches hats as
they went down the river is
beyond me. I guess it kept that
BY KRISTI HULL
hot fall sun off of them.
That evening, the guests
seemed to be as impressed by
the kids in their costumes who
came by our door as they had
been by any of the wildlife
they saw earlier in the day.
Apparently in the Metroplex,
it is no longer as big a holiday
as it is here in Junction. Our
visitors did recognize some of
the good points of Junction,
and many times it is our visitors who remind us of how
good life is here in the Land of
Living Waters.
As I get older, I find myself
more resistant to change.
Changes seem to be coming
quicker and quicker, and I’m
sure that is a perception that is
based partly on reality and
partly on my desire to keep
everything the same.
Officer Maldonado moved
his family here from the
Valley last weekend, and we
want to be sure and welcome
them when we meet them. I
can’t imagine the things kids
go through when they move
halfway across the state to a
new home.
Once my father got out of
the Navy, he never moved our
family more than a few miles,
and I’m sure that many members of my generation can’t
imagine having to move a
family to start a new job. I’m
really glad to have the
Maldonados here and hope
they enjoy Junction as much
as I have.
By the way, if you find a
witches hat in the river, throw
it away for my wife. It wasn’t
her favorite hat, and I’d like
to think she doesn’t need it
anymore.

JMS Eagles battle the Punchers
by Coach Butch Lewis
B team game
Our young Eagles on the B
team played their first game of
the year against the Mason 7th
grade team. Mason had played
six games and their experience
was a big difference. Our
young men fought valiantly but
were outmanned and outscored
by a score of Junction 0,
Mason 26. Our young Eagles
on the B team were Manuel
Bernal, Ricky Alvarado, Jake
Cantrell, Brandon Leach,
Taylor Gentry, Andy Uribe,
Gage Kellogg, Devin Stewart,
Quinton Alsobrook, Jacob
Ricker, Tye Davenport, Christian Garcia, Tristan Salinas and
Mac McKinney.
8th grade game
Our 8th grade Eagles
stepped up and played their
best game of the year against
the Mason Punchers. This
bunch of young men were
soundly defeated last year as
7th graders by these same
Punchers. These Eagles had
worked hard this week and
were focused on winning. Our
young men played almost
flawless offense and very
aggressive, hard hitting
defense and were able to come
away with a 16 to 6 victory
over the Punchers.
Our Eagles received the
opening kickoff and were
driving down the field when
we fumbled and turned the
ball over to the Punchers. Our
defense held and forced
Mason to punt. They got off a
great punt and pinned us on
our 15 yard line. The Eagles
drove the ball 85 yards for the
first score with about 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.
Justus Young scored from
about 8 yards out over the
right side. Young then ran over
the left side for the two point
conversion. The score at the
half was Junction 8, Mason 0.
The 2nd half started with the
Eagles kicking off to the
Punchers. The Eagle defense
held, and the offense took
over. The Eagles drove 60
yards in six plays with Young
doing the honors with a 9-yard
run over the left side. Juan
Perez tacked on the two point
conversion with a run around
the left end. The score at the
end of the 3rd quarter was
Junction 16, Mason 0.
In the fourth quarter the
Punchers were able to score a
touchdown against our Eagles.
The final score was Junction
16, Mason 6. This was a very
satisfying victory for our
young Eagles.
The JMS Eagles will finish
their season on Thursday
afternoon at 5:30 p.m. in
Menard where they will take
on the Yellowjackets. Please
make the short trip to Menard
to watch these young men finish their outstanding season.

The JV Football team lost a
hard fought battle to the
Punchers of Mason last
Thursday night. The Eagles
received the opening kickoff
and were forced to punt after
three plays. Mason was driving
right down the field, but
Junction’s Vince Atchison
forced and recovered a fumble
on the 22 yard line. Great
blocking by Jairo Dominguez,
Dalton Schulze, Dylan Edison,
Anthony Bernal, Johnny
Richardson, and Jonathan
Baggett
helped
Kade
erties in the U.S. and Canada to
receive this designation.
“The Best of the Best
Awards recognize those Best
Western hotels that truly
demonstrate the highest levels
of quality and service,” said
Bonnie McPeake, chairwoman
of Best Western’s Board of
Directors. “The Best Western
Dos Rios is a living example of
our brand’s commitment to
caring for our guests.”
Located at 244 Dos Rios
Drive in Junction, the Best
Western Dos Rios features 52
rooms and opened in 2007.
Features at the Best Western
Dos Rios include a free hot
breakfast, 32” flat screen televisions, a full fitness room, business center, pool and wireless
and wired internet connections.
Wimberley rumble down the
field 77 yards to the 4 yard
line. One play later Danny
Campbell scored to put
Junction up 6-0. The PAT kick
was no good.
The defense held most of the
night for Eagles, and the
offense moved the ball up and
down the field at will. Late in
the second quarter, Junction
was driving in for another
score, but the ball was fumbled, and Mason scooped it up
and returned it for a touchdown. The PAT attempt was
good, and Mason led 7-6.
With just over two minutes
left in the 2nd quarter the
Eagles fumbled again giving
Mason good field position. The
defense stiffened up and forced
the punchers to try a field goal.
The attempt was wide left, and
the score remained 7-6 Mason
at the half. Led by Augustine
Fuentes, Ducie Carrington, and
Reece Sawyer, the defense
kept the Punchers in check for
most of the night.
In the second half, turnovers
proved to be costly for the
Eagles as that kept them from
scoring in the second half.
Those turnovers gave Mason
good field position which led
to two more scores in the second half. The Eagle offense
could never get on track in the
second half and would loose
the game 21-6. The defense did
a great job of keeping the
Eagles in the game. The Eagles
need to go back to work, get rid
of their mistakes and get ready
for a rematch with the
Punchers this Thursday night
at 5:30 p.m. in Mason.

Mike
in the playoffs!
Hey Ike, as
much as we hate
losing to Mason, it seems like
more times than not we do.
Why? I don’t know; it must be
one of those supernatural phenomena, or could be they just
beat us (you had some of that
too). Anyway, it happens, and
then what do you do?
Well, I guess you could go
off and nearly win state like
we did last year (I vote for
that).
Bowers did some good
work for our Eagles this week,
and we sure miss Tomlinson.
That game is past history and
now we move on---just like
that.
Well Ike, we got more football to play before the end of
the regular season. This week
at home, we get the opportunity to go and get a win and start
building some momentum for
the playoffs.
Menard has been up and
down this season depending
on players coming and going.
They have nothing left to play
with for this season other than
pride, but we have pride, too,
and we need to have a good
game to get on a good roll.
Come on Eagles-----B E A T

Hey Mike,
I’m having a
hard time remembering what
happened last week……oh
well, it must not have been
important enough to remember! We are STILL in the playoffs, aren’t we?! Well, then I
hope our boys don’t hang their
heads too low because there is
still a LOT of football left!
First, we need to take care of
a little unfinished business…..the Jackets are looking to prove that they should
have qualified for one of the
playoff spots plus they just
don’t like our Eagles very
much! A little bird told me that
they had their stud back last
week….guess those suspensions don’t mean much in
Menard. To tell you the truth,
I’m glad that he’ll be playing
because we wouldn’t want the
Jackets to have any built in
excuses when our Eagles
deliver the knockout! GO

yard line.
Ty Stapp (23) was not to be denied. He was stopped a few
yards back but fought his way for more yardage and then
stretched for the goal line as he went down. This was his second touchdown of the night. Escorting him in are Jason
McKinnerney (5) and Dustin Schoppe (44).

Jason McKinnerney and a few yards afoot for a 27-yard gain Junior Brayden Schulze (4) catches up with Puncher running

Junior Tyler Wilson (12) pulls down a pass, flips one defender aside and struggles with the other for an important 12yard gain.
The Eagles fought hard to the very end. On the last play of
the game, William Whitworth (70) drives through the line to
throw running back Zach Hudson (46) for a 3-yard loss.

Outdoors
Outback
by Kendal Hemphill
A couple of days ago my
wife sent me two emails. Her
office and mine have an
adjoining door, but she still
sends me emails. I don’t know
if this is because our society
has become so technology oriented or because my conversation is not worth walking ten
feet and opening a door. And
I’m not going to ask.
One of her emails contained
an Associated Press story
about Robert Lapointe, a 63year-old New Hampshire man
who managed to shoot himself
in the hand while hunting.
With a rifle. This is not easy to
do. I would imagine it takes
quite a bit of skill and effort.
You don’t normally aim a rifle
at your own hand, even by
accident. At least I don’t.
So I was pretty impressed
with Robert to begin with, until
I read the story. I don’t always
read the stories I write about.
Sometimes I just read the headlines and then write rude things
about the people involved, and
make up whatever facts I need.
It saves time and wear and tear
on my eyes.
But, for some reason, I read
this story, and it turns out
Robert had climbed a tree, and
was pulling his rifle up with a
rope. And the gun went off and
shot him in the hand.
Now, first rattle out of the
box, you’re thinking there are
several things wrong with this
picture. And you’re right. And
you don’t even know the
whole story yet.
For one thing, there is this
new invention they’ve come
up with for rifles called a
‘sling.’ This is strap attached to
the gun to allow it to be carried
over a shoulder, so you can use
both hands to climb a ladder or
tree. Maybe you’ve heard of it.
Second, climbing a tree and
pulling your rifle up on a rope
is the method of hunting from
tree stands recommended by
the Surgeon General, so only a
total knothead would ever do it.
Third, even a knothead, if
he’s stupid enough to swing a
gun around on a rope, should
have just the tiny shred of intelligence necessary to unload the
firearm first. If he’s not that
smart, he probably doesn’t
have the sense to climb a tree.
Or even find one.
Fourth, if a knothead found a
tree, managed to climb it, and
started pulling a gun up by a
rope, the chances are 50/50
that it would be pointed down,
especially since the barrel is
usually the heaviest end of a
gun.
Fifth (which you didn’t think
of because you’re not as smart
as me, and because I didn’t tell
you that the story said that the
trigger must have caught on a
branch), even an idiot should
know that, if you’re pulling a
gun up into a tree on a rope,
and it’s pointing at you, and it
hangs up on something, and
you loaded the thing first, you
should GIVE IT SOME
SLACK, instead of pulling
harder.
What we have here, then, is
not so much an accident as just
plain old natural selection. Old
Robert was going to go out
somehow, sooner or later, and
the only mystery is how he
managed to live to be 63 years
old if he’s been going around
pulling bonehead stunts like
this all that time. Now, of
course, he’s eligible for a
Darwin Award, but I can’t
imagine how come he hasn’t
earned one way before now.
But, as obviously silly as this
story is already, it gets better.
The rifle Robert was hunting
with, the one he loaded and
then hung from a rope, the gun
South Llano
River State
Park
National
Weather
Service Report
he managed to shoot himself in
the hand with, was a muzzleloader.
Suddenly there is an entirely
new kettle of light shed on this
whole can of worms. Not that
people don’t shoot themselves
with muzzleloaders, of course.
They do. But usually that happens while they’re loading
them.
For instance, if there is still a
live spark in the barrel from a
previous shot, and the shooter
pours a new charge of powder
in there, the spark will ignite it
and it will remove his eyebrows and any hair sticking out
past his forehead. Or sometimes, I’ve heard, a charge can
go off while the shooter is
tamping down a load with the
ramrod, which would certainly
take off a finger or two, at
least.
So there are accidents with
muzzleloaders, but they’re
pretty predictable, and definitely easily avoidable. But
none of the normal, expected
muzzleloader accidents are
anywhere near as avoidable as
the one Robert had. Because a
muzzleloader is a pretty easy
gun to render unshootable. All
you have to do is remove the
percussion cap from the nipple,
and the gun is dead.
Sometimes the cap falls off all
by itself, generally at an inconvenient time.
The argument could be made
that this is similar to unloading
a modern rifle, which is true.
But then you have to consider
that, in order for the muzzleloader to go off because the
trigger hung on a branch, it had
to not only have a cap on the
nipple, BUT ALSO BE
COCKED.
You begin to see how much
I’m going to miss Robert.
Because for sure, if someone
manages to shoot himself with
a muzzleloader this way, he
would have done something
else worth writing about if he
had lived . . .

AFBF backs estate tax relief bill...
The American Farm Bureau Federation supports H.R. 3905, the Estate Tax Relief Act of
2009, introduced Thursday by Reps. Shelley
Berkley (D-Nev.), Kevin Brady (R-Texas),
Artur Davis (D-Ala.) and Devin Nunes (RCalif.).
The bill increases the estate tax exemption to
$5 million per person and reduces the top rate
to 35 percent in equal increments over 10 years.
“We are pleased there is bipartisan support to
do better than current law in the House and
commend the sponsors of the bill for working
to increase the exemption,” said AFBF
President Bob Stallman. “Extending the current estate tax exemption of $3.5 million per
person and the tax rate at 45 percent, is a nonstarter for Farm Bureau, which supports an
increase in the exemption to $10 million a person.”
With health reform legislation stalled, estate
tax legislation could reach the House floor as
early as next week. The legislation is expected
to move independently and not be tied to other
tax provisions that expire at the end of the year.
Farm Bureau continues to support estate tax
repeal, but AFBF’s goal for this year is to
obtain a permanent $10 million per person
exemption that is indexed for inflation and is
transferable to a spouse.
Vilsack pushing EPA for ethanol blend
rate increase...
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said he is
pushing the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to raise the amount of ethanol allowed in
gasoline as the deadline for increasing the
blend limit approaches.
EPA is expected to announce its decision to
raise the blend limit to up to 15 percent in
December.
Vilsack said science indicates that a higher
“blend wall” is safe for automobile engines.
“We will continue to publicly advocate an
increase, and privately advocate,” Vilsack said.
“Our hope is they understand the significance
of this decision as it relates to the future of the
industry.”
AFBF supports raising the blend level up to
15 percent.
Australia lifts ban on beef from BSE countries...
The Australian government plans to lift its
ban on beef from countries that have reported
cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy
(BSE). The change is being made in response
to an independent scientific study that found
imported beef presented an extremely low risk
to the public with proper safeguards in place.
According to Simon Crean, Australia ’s minister for trade, “The new arrangements will not
affect the Australian food standard that requires
beef and beef products be derived from animals
free of BSE.”
Countries with interest in selling beef to
Australia market will need to undergo a risk
assessment by Food Standards Australia-New
Zealand to ensure the proper safeguards are in
place. That could include in-country audits by
Australian officials.
Australia has never had a case of BSE. The
new rule takes effect March 1, 2010.
Canada imposes movement restrictions on
Texas horses...
Due to the discovery of equine piroplasmosis
in a ranch in South Texas, Canada has imposed
movement restrictions on equines originating
from Texas .
Effective Oct. 21, equines exported to
Canada from all other states must provide the
additional certification that during the previous
21 days, the horses in a shipment have not been
in the state of Texas .
If you are preparing horses for international
shipment, please contact the USDA Export
officials at 512-383-2411 to learn the latest on
restrictions.

ATTENTION
YOUTH: Kimble County
Library has completed your
special corner of the library
just for you! Youth! You must
come by and check out what
the library has created with
you in mind.
A few shelves have been
moved around to form a youth
area for your enjoyment, reading, lounging, or just hanging
out…(away from the dreadful
adult section!) Cool and
rockin’ furniture has been
placed in “your” area. There
are bean bags to recline in
along with (my favorite) a
giant hand chair with a puzzle
piece shaped ottoman, fin-
ished off with a far-out rug to
complete your space!
Now that you have a cool
place to hang out…you need a
few new materials to enjoy
while you lounge. The library
has provided these too. We
have updated your book selections with popular titles such
as the vampire series
“Twilight,” “Breaking Dawn,”
and “Eclipse.” We also added
the newest in materials, such
as graphic novels, manga novels, and teen magazines.
Yes…we have them all for
you. Come by after school and
try out your NEW SPACE!
ADULTS…Have you ever
heard of “graphic novels”?
No? This is showing our age.
It is a new format of books.
But after reviewing the materials, they are really nothing
but what we called “back in
the old days” comic books.
The definition of a graphic
novel is “a novel whose narrative is related through a combination of text of art, often in
comic-strip form.” Another
popular type of book that
youth enjoy these days is the
manga novel, a Japanese
comic form that is read from
back to front. Now how cool is
