Carl Hummel and Christian Hummel were also transported to the Karnes County Jail. The three spent the night in jail and the next day they appeared before Justice of the A Karnes County deputy has resigned amid allegations that he made a false report related to an incident where he claimed to have been run down while making a traffic stop. Karnes County Sheriff David Jalufka said that he had reason to believe that Deputy Ruben Leal was not being truthful in regards to his account about what happened on Jan. 29, at around 2 a.m. It was at that time that Leal reported stopping a vehicle about 1.5 miles north of Helena on Highway 80. The deputy said he noticed an unusual number of passengers in the vehicle and drew his weapon as he approached it because there was a paper license tag on the vehicle and he was unable to verify the license tag on the radio. Leal reported that he heard a vehicle approaching from behind him and when he turned around to look; the vehicle sideswiped him and knocked him off into the ditch at the side of the road. At the time, Jalufka said his deputy did not have any feeling in his right side after the accident. Karnes City police officer Jeremiah Gatica, who was responding to the scene where the deputy was injured, was also involved in an accident. The officer lost control of his unit in front of Karnes City High School crashing into a telephone pole. The officer sustained serious injuries to his face. Both officers were airlifted via helicopter to University Hospital with injuries that were Award presented to Runge Elementrary By Kaine Korzekwa A Title 1 Part A Distinguished Performance Award was presented to Runge Elementary Tuesday, April 6. “The award is a designation recognizing that a school has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance for a three year period,” said Dina Rogers, who represented Region III in presenting the award. “Cory Green, the senior director of No Child Left Behind, also signed the award, along with Texas Education Agency (TEA) commissioner Robert Scott.” According to Superintendent Randy Ewing, Runge Elementary is one of only 18 schools in Educational Service Center (ReSee Runge, page 2 Dunn art show opens April 17 Peace Caroline Korzekwa, sitting as magistrate in the cases.

By Joe Baker See Leal, page 2 Search: www.karnescountytimes.com PHOTO BY JOE BAKER Bee County man sentenced for drunk driving crimes Omero Lugo, responsible for death, injuries to Falls City students will serve a minimum of 8.5 years By Joe Baker On Monday, April 5, District Judge Stella Saxon sentenced Bee County resident Omero Lugo to 17 years in state prison for the crimes of intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault related to a collision that killed a Falls City student and injured two other students more than a year ago. Joey Lang, a 17-year-old Falls City High School senior was killed in the collision on Feb. 13, 2009. Chasity Stone and Dillyn Lewis, passengers in Lang’s vehicle, sustained serious injuries in the crash. Lugo was driving the wrong way in the northbound lanes of Highway 181 about one mile north of Poth, and was intoxicated at the time of the crash which led to criminal charges being filed against him in Wilson County. According to Wilson County Assistant District Attorney Audrey Louis, who worked on the prosecution of the case, Lugo plead guilty in January “open to the court for punishment,” pleading no contest to all three charges. Count one was intoxication manslaughter related to the death of Joey Lang. Counts two and three were intoxication assault charges related to the injuries of Stone and Lewis. There was no plea agreement; he simply went to the court for punishment. Louis said there were numerous witnesses that appeared during the three-hour-long sentencing hearing. “Judge Saxon sentenced him to 17 years on count one, being the intoxication manslaughter. This is a second degree felony so it’s anywhere from two to twenty years,” Louis said. “We were asking for 20 years. We were asking for the maximum.” Louis said the prosecution also asked for the maximum penalty for the other charges which were 3rd degree felony charges punishable by two to ten years. Saxon sentenced him to ten years on these charges. “He didn’t argue for probation,” Louis said. “He knew it may not be appropriate considering the circumstances. He was asking for leniency.” The sentences will be served concurrently. Louis said that the See Lugo, page 2 KCHS Skills USA Team takes state gold By Ramon Perez Kenedy’s Second Street Gallery is presenting the works of Donald Dunn “Texas Illustrated through Art” – oils on canvas. The show will open on Saturday, April 17, from 5-7 p.m. and there will be a “gallery talk” with the artist at 6 p.m. The public is invited to attend the event at the gallery located at 122 Second Street in Kenedy. “We invite the public to come enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful works and speak with the artist about his passion for painting,” said Gallery owner Saundra QueenSchultz. “Mr. Dunn has been an oil painter since 1968 semi-professionally and professionally since 2002.

It’s been going on a long time.” Sheriff David Jalufka said the cases would likely be heard in county court before County Judge Alger Kendall, Jr. Commissioner Hummel told The Karnes County Times on Tuesday, April 6, that he and his nephew were acting to defend themselves after being attacked by Craig Hummel. The commissioner said the conflict came about as part of a dispute over ownership of the property. “Craig doesn’t own anything, but he told us many times that he owns the whole thing and that he doesn’t want anyone out there,” Carl Hummel said. The commissioner said he was on the property checking cattle and horses and was vis- Thursday, April 8, 2010 Serving Karnes County since 2010 Runge iting some other family who were on the property. He and his nephew looked out the window and it appeared to them that Craig Hummel was having a fight with his girlfriend, Karen Hale. According to Carl Hummel, a vehicle blocked the way of him and his nephew as they were trying to leave and as they were closing a gate, Craig Hummel approached and assaulted him and his nephew. Carl Hummel said that at that point, his nephew and Craig both called 911 as did Karen Hale. Carl Hummel said that Craig, while on the 911 phone call, was pretending to be under attack for the benefit of the 911 recording. Carl Hummel said his brother Craig has a history of scrapes with the law and various conflicts with different people. “I remember I got subpoenaed and I had to go testify, unfortunately, against him, as to how violent he was,” Carl Hummel said, indicating that his brother may hold a grudge against him because of that. The commissioner said he has hired an attorney and plans to plead not guilty. He said it was absolutely a case of self defense on his part and the part of his nephew. “I never hit him with my fists and every time he would grab me, I would just spin around and try to get away,” Carl Hummel said. “Obviously, it looks bad, when the deputies are called.” The Karnes County Times has tried to contact Craig Hummel, Christian Hummel and Karen Hale for comment, but has not yet been able to reach any of them. According the county judge’s office, court dates have not yet been set in any of the three cases. From page 1 gion) III to receive this distinction. “I feel this award highlights the efforts by our entire faculty and staff here at Runge Elementary,” Elementary Principal Debbie Witte said. “I have never gotten this award before, and I know it is a big deal. I am very proud.” The award does not come with extra funds but part of the criteria for receiving the award is to adequately use Title 1 Part A funding given by the federal government. “The criteria include many parts,” Ewing said. “Along with using funds sufficiently, a campus must be considered Title 1 for three years and have at least 40 percent of its families ranked as low income.” Runge Elementary was a Recognized campus in 2007 and 2008, and it was an Exemplary campus in 2009, resulting in the award. It is to recognize campuses for their progress. “I feel this award is for recognition of the teamwork exhibited by the entire staff— from the teachers, all the way down to the aids,” said Witte, who is in her second year as principal at the elementary by herself. “It is a true representation of the enthusiasm this campus has to reach its goals. The award is for giving every student the opportunity to receive a quality education, and that is exactly what we are doing.” [email protected] Lugo From page 1 judge signed a deadly weapon finding – the deadly weapon being the vehicle – that makes it an aggravated offense which requires him to serve at least half of his time in prison prior to him being eligible for parole. Therefore, Lugo will serve a minimum of eight and a half years in prison, according to Louis.

The color, texture, and growth rate of weeds often contrast markedly to those of the turfgrasses they may be associated with in a lawn or sports field. Consequently, weeds detract from the uniformity of a turf and add to its maintenance requirements. The origins of weeds are as varied as those of our turfgrasses. Most are introduced species from Asia and Europe that were inadvertently brought to this country. Many were unintentional stowaways in animal fodder or ship ballasts, or simply contaminants in seed or food supplies brought to this country. Unsightly Weeds in Turf In lawns and sports fields, weeds are often the result of poor quality turf, rather than the cause of poor turf. The aggressive nature of weeds and their prolific reproductive capacity enable them to invade thin, weak turf areas. Cultural practices should always be viewed as the first step to effective weed control. Always determine why weeds established a foothold and correct those deficiencies. If the basic problem is not corrected, weeds will continue to occur. An effective weed-control program also requires identification of the undesirable species as to its classification as a grassy weed, a broadleaf weed, an annual, or a perennial. Most turf weeds belong to two principal categories grasses and broadleaf plants. Chemical controls for these two categories of plants frequently differ. Grassy weeds have jointed, hollow stems; leaf blades have veins parallel to leaf margins, and are several times longer than they are wide; roots are fibrous and multi-branching; and flowers are usually inconspicuous. In contrast, broadleaved plants often have showy flowers; leaves have a network of veins at diverse angles to one another; stems are often pithy; and a taproot is usually present. Another group of turf weeds, sedges, have grasslike characteristics, but require a different group of chemicals for control. Sedges are characterized by three-sided stems (triangular cross-section) which bear leaves in three directions (in contrast to the two-ranked arrangement of grass leaves). Weeds can be further grouped according to their life span - annual or perennial. From the standpoint of chemical control, the grouping is most important, because preemergent herbicides are only effective for control of annual weeds. Annual weeds germinate from seed each year, mature in one growing season, and die in less than 12 months. Crabgrass and henbit are examples of annual weeds - crabgrass being a summer annual and henbit being a winter annual. Preemergent herbicides must be applied according to the expected date of emergence for each targeted species. Perennial weeds live more than one year, and recover or regrow from dormant stolons, rhizomes, or tubers as well as from seed. Control of perennial weeds requires a postemergent herbicide during its season of active growth. Effective chemical weed control requires identification of the weeds as to their classification (grass, broadleaf, sedge, etc.), life span (annual or perennial), and season of active growth (cool season or warm season). Effective chemical control also requires accurate timing of applications, proper rate of application, and uniformity of application. Always follow label directions for a product, and observe all warnings and precautions relative to safety of the application. Herbicide labels should be carefully reviewed for additional details on specific uses of each product, soil and sunny locations. Wilson-Karnes Grassbur Control Feld Day The Ag committees from Wilson and Karnes counties are sponsoring a grassbur control field day on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010. The field day will be co-sponsored by DuPont and we will view three grassburr control plots. Our plot had Prowl H₂O applied as a pre-emergent. The other two plots had Pastora applied as a post-emergent. We will register at the Falls City Community Hall parking lot in Falls city at 2:00 p.m. and the field day will conclude no later than 5:00 p.m. Refreshments will be available at the tour and the event is free to all participants.

Your pictures, story, and vid- eo captured the evening perfectly. Most of all, I thank you for your friendship, and your great newspaper, The Karnes County Times. You and your staff do a great job. We are very fortunate to have you and your family in our community. Editor: Janie Holcombe this gentleman and complement him for his work on The Countywide. One of the things I appreciated about Mr. Baker was that he reported the truth even if the subject happen to be about an elected official or someone “important.” Many times in small towns, things like that are swept under the rug, more or less. I believe voters have the right to know what kind of examples officials and leaders will be for our community. I thought we were really fortunate to have an editor with this kind of integrity. You may not have always agreed with him, but that does not mean that he did not provide a valuable service to this community. I really have trouble understanding how you could have sold him out like that. I feel that I can not support this newspaper any longer and will not be renewing my subscription. Dr. Joyce Kimble Newspaper won’t publish all letters In February I emailed the following letter to The Countywide newspaper. The letter was never printed. According to my computer records, the letter went out. I continued to receive that newspaper even though my subscription had run out in January. In March I received a post card reminding me that my subscription needed to be renewed. This time I called them, mentioned I had sent a letter and that I did not plan to renew. I currently subscribe to The Karnes County Times. It’s interesting, but I am still receiving The Countywide. It’s a good paper and the new staff are doing a good job, but I just have a problem with the way the owner runs his business. I just thought your readers should know that when The Countywide says they have a certain number of newspapers in circulation, some of those papers may be going out to people who didn’t necessarily request them. The Countywide 110 S. Market Karnes City, TX 78118 Attn. Jim Moser Holli Foster February 6, 2010 Dear Owner/Editor: I was raised in Karnes County from the age of 8 years old and as an adult have alternated living here or Corpus Christi for the last 44 years. Even when living out of town I have kept up with The Karnes Citation and The Countywide, so I have seen the newspaper under the direction of several editors. When I moved back home in 2003 I subscribed to the paper and really took time to read through it. I really noticed a difference and realized I was really enjoying reading it. I especially enjoyed reading the editorials written by Joe Baker, the editor. I was Sincerely, impressed enough to make a special effort to go and meet Janie Holcombe The consequences of drunk driving Joe Baker The consequences of drunk driving On Monday a Bee County man was sent to prison for charges related to an accident that took the life of a Falls City student and injured two other students. It was more than a year ago when the accident happened one mile north of Poth, although I’m not sure it can really be called an “accident.” Omero Lugo intentionally got behind the wheel and was intoxicated to the point that he was unaware he was driving the wrong way in the northbound lanes of Highway 181. It was no accident. It was intentional. Lugo chose to get behind the wheel and drive that evening when he knew he was in no condition to operate a motor vehicle. It’s hard to imagine the loss of the Lang family and all of those who knew and loved Joey Lang, a bright, talented, funny young man with unlimited potential. It was a devastating tragedy for the Falls City community and beyond for everyone who knew and cared about this young man and his family. It was a tragedy that was made even worse by the fact that it was so avoidable. If Lugo had not made the awful choice to get behind the wheel that night, Joey Lang would still be with us and the other students would not have had to suffer the injuries they did that night. No punishment of Lugo will make right the wrong that was done that night, but I hope that this harsh prison sentence will send a message to everyone about the horrifying consequences of drunk driving. It is one of the worst problems we face, especially in rural parts of Texas such as ours. Without options such as public transpor- tation or taxis, people here often take unnecessary risks driving themselves home after having too much to drink and this is absolutely unacceptable. It is time for everyone who has done this to wake up – to grow up – to sober up to the realization of what might happen when you get behind the wheel after having too much to drink. Lugo is just 27 years old. He will have to spend years in prison but after that, he will have to spend the rest of his lifetime thinking about what happened that night and the fact that a family and community lost a bright shining star because of his reckless choice. I see people driving drunk all the time in this area and it is upsetting, especially when I think about what happened on that highway north of Poth. I have seen swerving vehicles drive past police vehicles and I have seen the police do nothing about it – sometimes they just let them continue on their way. How badly does a car or pickup need to swerve before the police will make the effort to pull them over? Enforcement of the law, or lack thereof, is part of the problem, but the biggest part of the problem is a local culture that looks the other way or disregards the danger of someone getting behind the wheel when under the influence. It’s way past time that we all cease to tolerate this behavior. This will only stop when each of us do whatever we can to prevent people from driving drunk: take the keys away from a friend whose had too much to drink, report drunk drivers when we see them swerving down the road, be a designated driver when going out with friends. This problem will only get better if everyone stands up and lets everyone else know that drunk driving will no longer be tolerated. [email protected] NEW SUBSCRIPTION PRICES!

I was instantly offended. I am not that cruel, even though I have spoken of turtle soup a few times. Readers of my column will know that I am not especially fond of our newest member of the family, Shelley the turtle. We acquired Shelley several months ago in an effort to replace a wild turtle that we adopted and treated like family, only to have her run away in the middle of summer. Shelley is a red eared slider, who lives in a 100 gallon feeding trough outside in the back yard. The feeding trough has a heater, filter, and turtle “docking area” where the turtle can climb up and “bask” in the sun. However, I have never, ever seen this turtle bask. Not once. Every time I walk by her, she is hiding in the water, underneath the docking station, which my eldest calls, “Turtle Island.” The day after Easter, I went outside to empty the children’s shoes from the sand they collected at pre-school. While emptying the shoes, I looked over at the turtle’s tank. I didn’t see her hiding under the glass dock. I went over and peered into the water, thinking she was hiding somewhere else. No turtle. My father-in-law came outside at that time, and I told him that the turtle was missing. My eldest daughter also came out, concerned at the development. I called my husband and told him that Shelley was missing. My father-in-law, eldest daughter, and husband started a full scale search of the yard and surrounding area. We thought that either an animal had gotten a hold of her, which was unlikely in the fenced in yard, or she had climbed up on to the docking station (which I have never seen her climb on), and somehow managed to lift herself over the edge of the tank and escape. I saw what I thought might be little turtle tracks, but I have no expertise in this area and gave up quickly. The others didn’t give up, however. My eldest daughter went and got turtle food to try to entice the turtle back home. They called out her name. Does a turtle even know what its name is? During this, my husband came in the house, and accused me of purposely doing something to the turtle, not once, but twice. Of course I didn’t do anything to the turtle. My goal is to have as little to do with the turtle as possible. I don’t have time to cook a meal as complicated as turtle soup. And so when they were about to give up hope, my father-in-law noticed that a few stray cats had started paying attention to something under the house. The only one thin enough and adventurous to get under there, my father-in-law followed the cats to find poor Shelley, with all limbs and head tucked inside her shell, huddled down in the dirt. The cats were pawing at the shell, trying to figure out what kind of creature they had found. My father-in-law rescued the turtle, and brought her back to her home. The grateful turtle is now back hiding under the turtle dock where she belongs. I still think my husband suspects me though, just a little. You make a difference Joe Brubaker Folks I do not care what age you are; YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE! From the day we were born we made a difference in the lives of those around us. We continue to make a difference the rest of our lives. Some of our differences are positive and some are negative. All of us influence others both ways. Hopefully our positive influences far out number our negative ones. I am writing this column because I hear people say things like, I can’t do anything, I have no special talents, and I am just a nobody. Not true folks! We are important to others even though sometimes we feel otherwise. Just the opposite of these inferior feelings are the feelings of being superior to others. This attitude is dangerous! So perhaps a better path to take is the middle one. Don’t go through life brow beating ourselves or thinking more highly of ourselves than we ought to think! I Seem to remember reading somewhere that the meek shall inherit the earth. Now folks being meek does not mean we feel worthless! It means we are to be gentle and humble! So let us hold our heads high but don’t stick our noses up in the air! The Karnes County Times Karnes County’s only locally owned newspaper www.karnescountytimes.com P.O.

Dear Dave, I’m a single father with a 14-year-old daughter. I want to teach her to avoid the financial mistakes I’ve made. Do you think I should open a checking account with a debit card for her? I think the practice in dealing with money before she gets out on her own would be good for her.

No one cook is saddled with all the cooking and friends can gather informally to sample the best of home cooked fare. Co-ordination is absolutely necessary unless you want to have a dozen desserts and no casseroles on the table. You can take planning a stage further by having a themed party: a night in Old Mexico or a Vegetarian Supper or a Seasonal Supper where only local foods are served. If you go this route you hearken back to the First Thanksgiving which was the potluck to end all. It was surely a sight with the Indian’s “furkee” or turkey and the colonists’ contribution of frumenty or porridge that was a mixture of maize and corn. Sometimes – legend has it – lima beans were added to the succotash casserole, although food historians now argue that was impossible, because lima beans couldn’t grow in the Plymouth climate. The scalloped succotash casserole recipe given below can be prepared with fresh or canned vegetables. I’ve added chopped cilantro for garnish. The colonists wouldn’t recognize it. 2 17 ounce cans whole kernel corn 1 16-ounce can lima beans 1 13 ounce can evaporated milk 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese 2 beaten eggs 1 medium onion finely chopped 1 small red pepper finely chopped 2 cups crushed saltine crackers 2 tablespoons melted butter ½ tsp. each salt and pepper 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro Drain corn. Add water to corn liquid to make ¾ cup. Combine the liquid, corn, limas, milk, cheese and beaten eggs. Sauté the onion and pepper in 1 tablespoon butter and add to the mixture with 1 ½ cups crackers. Season well. Turn into a casserole. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Pour the remaining butter over the remaining crackers and sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake, uncovered for 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.

Surgeon to Wilson County The Karnes County Times Karnes County’s only locally owned newspaper Church Kenedy First Baptist Church news “Jesus Triumph of the Empty Tomb” Easter Sunday marks our deadline of Texas Hope 2010 and the distribution of CD’s with the Gospel of John to every home statewide. We rejoice many heard the Good News and responded in faith to being born again. For his sermon series concerning Jesus temptations, teachings, timing, trials and testing during Passion Week, today Pastor John Wheat discussed Jesus triumph of the empty tomb. Using George Barna’s statistics, Pastor discussed how 7 out of 10 think Easter is something spiritual but of this only 47% said anything about His resurrection. As Jesus triumphed over the empty tomb, He first spent time in the Garden where He cried in anguish three times: “if it be possible let the cup pass from Me,” but then prayed: “not My will but yours be done.” Next Jesus spent time on the cross which was the most humiliating, painful and agonizing death anyone could undergo. He endured beatings and spikes in His hands and feet as He hung on the cross for 7 hours of pure agony until He no longer had the energy to push Himself up from the crossbar. Why the cross? Because there was a penalty for our sins and Jesus paid for it through His death. When Jesus said: “It is finished,” He was saying He paid our sin debt in full. Luke 24:1-8 was the sermon text for today which tells of Jesus resurrection from the dead. Jesus came back to live fully both physically and spiritually. He went to the tomb at His death by way of the garden as He prayed “Your will be done” and through His submission and obedience we can be transformed in doing likewise. Where do you spend time? In the garden where you question God claiming your will over His? Or do you go to the tomb where you can be transformed? Jesus didn’t stay on the cross but went to the tomb and got transformed. We all need tomb time in order to be transformed. Galatians 2:20 states: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is now no longer I that live but Christ lives in me and the life I live in the faith is by the Son of God who died and gave Himself up for me.” Our deepest sympathies go to the families of Harvey Mohr, and Bill Bingham.

The devotion for this week is “Respect” by Jen Kotara, daughter. Scripture is from Matthew 15:4 – “For God said, “Honor your father and mother and anyone who curses his father and mother must be put to death.” This past year, my friend’s dad died. This person and I never got along. We fought a lot and rarely got along. When I found out her dad died, I felt so sorry for her and her family. My mother and I went to visit the family. I saw how awful they felt about their loss. The following day I went to the funeral. It was the most heartbreaking thing I ever sat through. I saw my classmate and her family devastated and depressed.

Describing the surprise of the women and Peter to find the tomb empty and the confusion which followed was the focus of the homily by the Rev. David W. Collins III, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, on the Resurrection of Our Lord/Easter Sunday at the sunrise gathering. Collins relates the perplexing encounter with the empty tomb and the angelic visitors. News is spread by the women and Peter seeks to verify the information by examining the emptiness of the tomb. The angelic visitors reminded them of how Jesus explained He would rise again on the third day. All were amazed at what had happened. The resurrection now lends strength of belief to Jesus' message and the emptiness of life has been filled with I started to cry, I was not close to the family, nor the man who died. It made me realize how sad I would be if I came home from a normal day and my mom wasn’t there. At I sat through the funeral I made a promise to myself to try always to be respectful to my mom. Without her I would be lost. The death of my friend’s dad opened my eyes. Since then I have made an effort everyday not to fight or argue. Thought: Always honor Resurrection your parents.

Kenedy Church of Christ news St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church news to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:5-11 NIV The Philippian hymn serves as a reminder to the church in the twenty-first century just as it was a reminder to the church in the first century of the meaning of the resurrection. How has the fact that Jesus was raised from the dead changed you? Yes, eternal life is a glorious promise, the ultimate promise in fact. But we are talking about more. How has the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead created a new normal in our everyday lives? Paul tells us not to look to our own interests but to those of others. He tells us that our attitude should be the same as the attitude of Jesus. Read the words to the Philippian hymn again. Today the world stands in awe of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the Dead. People take off work, but it is more than a vacation day. Families get together, but it is more than a reunion. How has the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the Dead changed you? Remember our faith is about the fact that the tomb is empty. Jesus Christ was more than just some radical charismatic political leader. As Peter told the crowd in Acts 2:36, “Therefore Let All Israel Be Assured of This: God Has Made This Jesus, Whom You Crucified, Both Lord and Christ!” Consider Jesus Christ’s Atoning Death. Think of the Cross which purchased my pardon and yours. Read and reread the Philippian hymn. How has the risen Christ changed you?

Information: YOUR NAME: ____________________________________________ PHONE: ADDRESS:_____________________________________________________________________ CITY:________________________STATE:__________ZIP:___________________ _____________ The stone rolled open and the guards fell as dead men. Many religious guards today have fallen as dead men and given themselves over to the material things and pleasures of this world. In Luke 24:2 some servant minded women on their way to give Jesus a proper burial found the stone rolled away and Jesus was not there. Satan couldn’t buy Him, sin couldn’t bind Him and the grave couldn’t hold Him. Why? In Verse 6 Scripture declares that He is risen. Christians need to roll away the stone over our hearts that hardens our hearts and holds us captive from serving our Lord . In verse 9 These women were excited, enthused and overcome with joy and they went to and told the disciples that Jesus was living they did not believe them because it all seemed to them as nonsense. Christians today who see other things more important than serving the Lord see the joy of those who serve as nonsense. Thank God for Peter who went out and ran to the tomb to see if this story was true. What we need in our churches today are more people who are like Peter. He overcame his doubts by placing faith and trust in Jesus. We should all run to Christ just as Peter did. Do something extra at Christmas and Easter, for someone who has a need. Tell someone about Jesus. Feed the hungry, visit someone in a nursing home. Spend just a little time with someone in need and you will find what Peter found. True life in the life of a Christian. In our church at Choate we are looking for servant minded people to come and help us grow in Christ. You are invited to come to Choate Baptist Church.

Easter morning was a time ship were given to the glory of stored, and our sins were forHath Made” Members of Good Shepherd Lutheran observed Maundy Thursday by partaking of a Passover Seder Meal just as Jesus and His disciples did on the evening before His crucifixion. The purpose of this Seder is to recall the dramatic and miraculous events which led to the exodus of God’s people from an ancient land of slavery and to pray that liberty will come to all people and a happy life of peace and contentment will be the possession of all people everywhere. On Good Friday, we observed the Tenebrae service which reminded us of the suffering and humiliation which Jesus endured as He took our place on the cross and died for our sins so that we might of joy and celebration, as we celebrated Jesus’ victory over death and the grave; because He lives, we will live also, and spend eternity with Him in heaven.

Pastor Wally Schievelbein began his sermon by proclaiming, “THIS is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Then he added that Easter Sunday, the day that we celebrate Christ’s resurrection from the dead is the most important day that the Lord ever created.

First Presbyterian Church news Upon entering the sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church, the congregation was greeted with Easter lilies as a reminder of the significance of the day. Easter Sunday at First Presbyterian Church was even more special than usual because of the occasion of the baptism of Katherine Alicia Perez, the three month old granddaughter of member Dianne Espinoza and niece of members Mike & Cindy Guerrero. It was a joyous and reverent occasion for all in attendance – approximately 45 individuals. Katherine Alicia Perez’s baptism was beautiful. She is the proud daughter of Ruben and Stacey Perez. She never cried, then Chuck walked her down the aisle, after he baptized her, showing her to everyone and she just gurgled and stared. She wore a beautiful white gown with lacing at the top. Her grandparents, Jesse and Alice Perez, and uncles all came, as well as Mimi Dianne and Uncle Todd, not to mention the Guerrero Four, and her Aunt Sarah and cousin Jana. Stacey’s best friend, Lupita, from Austin also came down. After church, the family celebrated at the Guerrero’s house in Helena, where “Uncle Mike” had prepared fajitas and the works for all the family and friends. Ushers were Trip Ruckman and Barbara Barnett. Beautiful Easter Lilies were provided by the The Easter Bunny stopped by the Easter Egg Hunt at St. Cornelius Church in Karnes City. Church members were very lucky this year to have the Easter Bunny stop by and visit with the kids! The church had its biggest prize give-away - about 150 treats ranging from candy, jump ropes, to large Easter baskets loaded with goodies! Church members didn’t let the wet grass stop them from having fun! They moved their Hunt inside the Education Building. Church members expressed appreciation for the generosity of parishioners who donated candy, time & energy towards this fun event for the youth. Women of the Church; and Stella Saxon played the piano. Pastor Chuck Gibbs used the Presbyterian Church’s long-form Baptism service for Katherine, which served to remind all present of the significance of baptism in the life of a child and family, as well as the significance in the lives of all Christians. In the Presbyterian Church, baptism is the sign and seal of incorporation into Christ. Jesus through his own baptism identified himself with sinners in order to fulfill all righteousness. Jesus in his own baptism was attested Son by the Father and was anointed with the Holy Spirit to undertake the way of the servant manifested in his sufferings, death, and resurrection. Jesus the risen Lord assured his followers of his continuing presence and power and commissioned them to: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always to the end of the age.” In Baptism we participate in Jesus’ death and resurrection. In Baptism we die to what separates us from God and are raised to newness of life in Christ. Baptism points us back to the grace of God expressed in Jesus Christ, who died for us and who was raised for us. Baptism points us forward to that same Christ who will fulfill God’s purpose in God’s promised future. In Baptism, the Holy Spirit binds the Church in covenant to its Creator and Lord. The water of Baptism symbolizes the waters of Creation, of the Flood, and of the Exodus from Egypt. Thus, the water of Baptism links us to the goodness of God’s creation and to the grace of God’s covenants with Noah and Israel. Prophets of Israel, amidst the failure of their own genera- tion to honor God’s covenant, called for justice to roll down like waters and righteousness like an everflowing stream. They envisioned a fresh expression of God’s grace and of creation’s goodness – a new covenant accompanied by the sprinkling of cleansing water. In his ministry, Jesus offered the gift of living water. So, Baptism is the sign and seal of God’s grace and covenant in Christ. Baptism is the bond of unity with Christ and unites the people of God with each other with no barriers of race, gender, status or age. All barriers are transcended. Believers and their children are included in God’s covenant love. A child of believers, such as Katherine Alicia Perez, is to be baptized without undue delay. Baptism of the child presented by its family or baptism of those professing their faith is one and the same Sacrament. The baptism of a child witnesses to the truth that God’s love claims people before they are even able to respond in faith. With baptism, parents, grandparents and the congregation accept responsibility for nurturing the child and guiding the child until the child is ready to make a personal profession of faith and assume the responsibility of active church membership. The family and congregation of First Presbyterian Church of Karnes City accepted, joyfully and with knowledge of the seriousness of the act, the responsibility to nurture and guide Katherine Alicia Perez from this day of her baptism forward. People from all over Karnes County and other parts of Texas gather at the First Presbyterian Church of Karnes City on Sunday morning. Everyone is welcome.

In the Nixon game at home Rhett Bell would go the distance on the mound pitching giving up 5 hits and 1 run in the fifth. The Lions wouldn’t have to bat in the bottom of the fifth as they would score 2, 2, 3, and 5 in their innings at the plate. The Lions would only have 6 hits themselves but would take advantage of 8 walks and 5 errors. Rolie Zepeda would go 2 for 3, Rhett Bell would go 1 for 1, Jonathon Hackney would go 1 for 2, Tristan Mejia would go 1 for 3, and Lane Gaskamp would go 1 for 2 rounding out the hitting for the Lions. On Thursday the Lions would travel to Stockdale and play a good game all around as they would face the Stockdale ace Colton West. The Lions would score in the first inning as Jake Havron would double to left center move to third on a pass ball and score on a wild pitch. Stockdale would tie it in the bottom of the second and it would stay that way until the fourth inning when it looked as if the clean up hitter would hit one out on starter Rolie Zepeda but the hitter wouldn’t touch home plate and the dough out did a great job recognizing it and Zepeda would appeal it on the next pitch to record the out and get out of the inning. The Lions would get runners on in every inning except the fifth and seventh. They would get runners in scoring position in the third, fourth, and sixth but would be unable to move them in. In the bottom of the sixth Zepeda would get the first out of the inning but then give up a hit, hit a batter and then give up two more singles before giving way to Isaac Cruz who would record the final two batters but the damage would be done as the Brahmas would lead 3-1. Zepeda pitched a great game only giving up one earned run. Jake Havron and Tristan Mejia would lead the Lions at the plate both going 2 for 3. Bryan Alaniz and Jonathon Hackney would both go 1 for 3 and round out the hitting for the Lions as they went 6 for 27 at the plate. After this week of play the Lions are tied for third place with Karnes City at 2 -2 and play at Poth on Friday night. Navarro leads the district at 4-0 and Stockdale is 3-1. Leopards steal two wins By Jessie Hoffman The Kenedy Leopards grabbed two district wins last week. They defeated the Nixon-Smiley Lady Mustangs 12-10 and the Stockdale Lady Brahmas 3-0. Battling against the Nixon-Smiley Lady Mustangs, the Leopards took three trips all the way around the bases. In the third inning, senior Jessie Hoffman took her trip around on an error and both senior Megan Edwards and sophomore Desiree Guerra hit homeruns in the top of the sixth. In the top of the sixth, sophomore Megan Villanueva also rounded first for a double and sophomore Corina Barrientez sent the ball to center field earning a single. Scoring for the Leopards were Hoffman with three, Edwards and Villanueva (Courtesy Runner – Lillie Vickery) each with two, and with onea-piece were Barrientez, Desiree Guerra, Ashley Leal, Jackie Hartsfield, and Anissa De la Garza. Villanueva pitched for five strike outs and fielded for six outs. To end the game, Villanueva fielded a line drive hit that knocked her off the mound and she made the throw from the ground while still catching the runner at first. Edwards caught two line drives hit to short stop. Hartsfield grabbed a pop fly hit to second and Lauren Hernandez gave it her all to catch a fly on the run in center field. Coach Anna Martin is very proud of the heart the team played with against Nixon. She said, “I was extremely proud of the Leopards for playing their game for the full seven innings. The game was close most of the way but the girls held up with a solid defense, smart hitting, and aggressive base running. The Leopards never gave up and played without the starting and back-up pitcher.” One thing that is different about the Leopards is their sense of teamwork and their attitude towards helping each other to do what is best for the team.

Photo courtesy of Quick Click Photography By Kaine Korzekwa BT Managing Editor The Smart Choices II grant was deemed a success at the March 8 school board meeting. The Smart Choices I grant was adopted in 2002, and it was continued as Smart Choices II in 2005. The grant set out with four goals: increase student’s perception of harm, reduce alcohol abuse, reduce binge drinking, and improve school climate. According to data displayed via PowerPoint by Dr. Kyle Barrington at the meeting, all objectives were met. “We were able to increase perception of harm concerning substance abuse, particularly alcohol,” he said, adding that the 2004 Pride Surveys served as the baseline for the study and the 2010 Pride Surveys teacher, Ag agent or just a “big dogs” to be competitive administers in February were stranger at a show there has but yet play smart. used as comparison in finding ALWAYS been someone to I can sit here and write the data. “Research says if you pick me up when I fall. tips down all day but my point can get a child to understand I have based my steer is, in order to be successful the factual aspect of the career on a quote my Uncle you have to always keep a dangers of alcohol use, you Randy told me my first good head on you shoulder have a child who is less likely few months showing “For and be smart--money can to use and less likely to binge anything to be worthwhile… never buy anyone happiness. drink, if they do use, and that is I have truly enjoyed these You have to be persistent!” past years with the people and an important statistic.” That persistence has shown Under the goal of animals that I have spent so through my presence in and reducing alcohol abuse were much time with and come to out of the show arena.

The phrase “This” that I am referring to is the past ten years of involvement in the show steer business.

To tell you the truth, I am honestly going to miss it. Just yesterday I was already working with baby calves for next year and yet they are not even mine! I cannot stay away from these animals. You show once, twice, three times you can’t stay away from the atmosphere. I get asked a lot “Is it worth it” and honestly in the long run it is worth every second of my time! Yet some times I barely want to open up one of my 200 dollar a month feed bills and think to myself what are you thinking paying this much to feed a animal, I have a passion for what I do and I will never lose it. I’ve been ridiculed, looked down upon, and shunned before by many due to my major involvement with my project, but I have also been praised, awarded and congratulated so much more. Encouragement is the key, there have been times where I just wanted to throw in the towel and say the heck with this but as soon as I show my weakness no matter what, there is always someone there to push me to stick with it and just hang on. Whether it be a family member, friend, Casey Ebrom level.” Goal four of improving school climate was a new initiative under the Smart Choices II grant. The focus was on those students who were afraid that another student would hurt them in school. “Most of this effort was dedicated at the middle school, junior high, level,” he said. “And, as you can tell that is where we had the greatest impact.” Barrington explained the use of the compound annual growth rate statistic. That statistic was used to judge the effectiveness of the grant. “We know that unemployment rates have been going up, but one of the statistics you keep hearing about is the fact that unemployment rates are not increasing as much as they did before,” he said. “If we can reduce the rate of increase around substance abuse, then we know that less kids are using on a daily average.” He added that the statistics showed almost an 80 percent reduction in the amount of fear related to the dangers of alcohol students loose each year. “Also, as student get older they tend to drink more and more often,” Barrington said. “In 2004 rate was increasing about 51 percent between grade levels, but 2010 it was only increasing at about 35 percent.” The presentation also included that heavy drinking, or drinking to get drunk, was decreased by almost 45 percent and a 63 percent reduction in the increase of underage drinking and driving occurred also. “If you are going to address underage drinking, (a grant such as this) is the way to do it—this has a measurable and appreciable impact on student population,” he said. “There are opportunities out there for these kids, and if they slip off on to the wrong path, that opportunity can be gone really quick.” NEW SUBSCRIPTION PRICES!
