The Junction Eagle
Ahhhhh....cooler weather,
Friday night lights, the fight
songs, the cheers, the passes,
the touchdowns....the constant,
irritating blasts of the referees’ whistles! The Junction
Eagles won last Friday’s football game against the Leakey
Eagles, 51 to 0, but the frequent penalty calls made it
hard for fans to keep up with
the action and figure out what
was going on on the field.
It’s a wonder the players and
coaches were able to keep up
with their game plan strategies
and make adjustments.
The first quarter was spent
with each team testing its
opposition; neither team having great success, the ball
being pushed back and forth
Junction Eagle Dontay Foy (23) has pulled in a Drew Martinez pass and is fighting the
mid-field. Each team sufscrum of defenders in last Friday’s 51 to 0 rout of the Leakey Eagles. Foy would pull in two
fered an interception. A Drew
more Martinez passes, good for two touchdowns.
Martinez pass was tipped
out of reach and snagged
by an alert L-Eagle, then
Junction’s defensive back,
Laith Bannowsky, picked off
a Leakey quarterback pass. By
the end of the first quarter, there
had been nine flags thrown,
but no score. It appeared that
the Leakey Eagles’ non-threepoint stance and movement
of feet on defense threw the
Junction Eagles offense off for
awhile. During the first period,
the teams looked pretty evenly
matched.
Then, on their third possession, the Junction Eagles
took flight....and soared. Head
coach Cory Spivey said that
his players had not experienced a standing-up defense,
so they had to make adjustments....and adjust they did.
Crossing the goal line on the
next five consecutive possessions were Justus Young, Juan
Perez, Dontay Foy, twice, and
Martinez. Then Junction lost
possession on another interception. That was followed by
a safety, another touchdown
by Perez, another safety, then
a touchdown by Jose Salazar.
Clay Dennis made three successful point-after kicks and
Young ran in a two-point conversion. That’s 22 first downs,
437 yards and 51 points.
While the J-offense was scoring, the J-Eagles defense was
playing tough. The L-Eagles
had to punt five times, lost
the ball on downs twice, had
one interception and gave their
opponents four points on two
safeties. The J-Eagles limited
the L-Eagles’ ground game to
a mere 49 yards and 10 first
downs. Leakey’s only success
came from their passing, totaling 122 yards. Coaches stats

First Kimble County
jury trial held in four
years brings guilty
verdict
by Shain Chapman
Special Prosecutor
On Tuesday, October 2,
2013, after a day long jury trial
that ended at approximately
8 p.m., a Kimble County jury
found Billy G. McGinnis, Jr.,
guilty of assault causing bodily
injury, family violence. The
case stemmed from an August
27, 2012, incident where Billy
G. McGinnis Jr. destroyed
miscellaneous furniture in
the family home and threw
it at his then-wife, Rhonda
McGinnis, injuring her foot.
Rhonda McGinnis’s elev-
en-year-old child was being
shielded by Mrs. McGinnis
when the assault occurred.
Kimble County Sheriff’s deputies Steve Brown and James
Stewart responded to Rhonda
McGinnis’s frantic 911 call.
Deputy Stewart was able to
find and arrest Mr. McGinnis
who had fled the scene. Deputy
Brown conducted the follow
up investigation that led to Mr.
McGinnis’s conviction.
The trial was presided over
by County Judge Andrew
Murr, who just last week Andrew Murr announces his candidacy for the Texas legis- Delbert Roberts receives a congratulatory handshake from

U.S. Highway 83 North is scene of fatal vehicle accident
On October 6 around
8:20 p.m., 10 miles north
of Junction, a fatal accident occurred on North U.S.
Highway 83 involving a 2005
Kia SUV and a 2012 Mazda
M3S. Highway patrolmen
were called to work the wreck,
and Trooper Kody Eckert
and Sergeant Steve Jones,
both from Brady, responded.
According to these offic-
ers, Draven Reid Wirick, an
18-year-old male college student from Kingwood, Texas,
was driving the Kia, and Isaac
Cruz Guzman, a 36-year-old
male from San Angelo, was
headed to San Antonio in the
Mazda. There were no other
passengers in either vehicle.
The report stated that Wirick
was traveling north in the Kia,
while Guzman in the Mazda
was headed south. On a curve
in the highway, Wirick left the
northbound lane crossing over
the center stripe into the southbound lane facing Guzman,
and the passenger sides of the
vehicles collided, killing both
drivers. The Kia was spun into
the ditch where it caught fire.
Both vehicles were completely

Meanderings
by Frederica Burt Wyatt
Brisk, chilly mornings have
arrived in Texas, and we are
enjoying the long-awaited
Autumn weather. The countryside has been blessed by rainfall, and I noted some Cenizo
shrubs are retaining their blossoms.
My heartfelt sympathy is
extended to my son-in-law,
John Rohowetz, who lost his
mother, Mary Elaine Leonard
Rohowetz, last Thursday,
October 3. John and Charlotte
are in Indianapolis, Indiana,
to spend a few days with his
father, Stanley, and attend
funeral services on Monday.
Other survivors are John’s sister, Sheila of Indianapolis, and
brother, Ed and his family of
St. Louis, Missouri. Elaine was
a native of Wisconsin, but she
and Stanley formerly owned a
home in Austin, Texas, where
they spent the winter months
each year.
Kimble County Historical
Commission is grateful for the
widespread interest in its current project for a larger museum and history center. The
memorial program continues,
and recent monetary contributions are gratefully acknowledged. Latest memorials for
Leona “Tiny” Wood Lennon
have been received from former classmates, as well as
other friends. The past week’s
donor list includes Walter and
Jan Hill Dedeke, Jo Ella Bolt,
Phil Stapp, and Jean Chessher
Blaylock, all of Junction. Outof-town former classmates and
their families who sent donations were Florence Hannah
Franks of Granbury, Mr. and
Mrs. Bob Beck of Levelland,
Lorena Boone Buster of
Oglesby, Rowena Boone Rose
of Gatesville, Sam Kindrick
of Bulverde, Rojelio and
Juanita Espinosa Menchaca
of Austin, Bennett and Sue
Ragsdale of Voss, Tom and
Edwina Heffernan of Poteet,
and Sandra Spiller Wolf of
Lawrence, Kansas. Among
other friends contributing in
Tiny’s memory were Dennis
and Judy Armstrong of Harper,
Jimmy and Janet Stetler Jones,
Gary and Kandy Phillips Dick,
Margaret Burt Gaver, and
Frederica Burt Wyatt.
In addition, Jimmy and Janet
Jones donated in memory of
Britton A. Burt.
A highlight of last week
was the semi-annual meeting of Edwards Plateau
Historical Association hosted
by Kimble County Historical
Commission. The event was
held Saturday, October 5, in
the Family Center at College
Street Church of Christ, and
was attended by members
and guests from the Edwards
Plateau and nearby counties.
Included were persons from
Burnet, Caldwell, Gillespie,
Hays, Kerr, Kimble, Llano,
Mason, McCulloch, Real,
Runnels, San Saba, Sutton,
Tom Green, and Williamson.
One out-of-state resident,
Wayne Tinnelle of San Dimas,
California, joined the group for
the day’s activities. Guests were
registered by Billie Meckley
and Margaret Gaver, and Janet
Jones presided at the refreshment table. Among authors
present were Chuck Parsons of
Luling, who was accompanied
by his wife, Pat; Joseph Luther
of Kerrville, and Peter Rose
of Telegraph/Austin. Copies
of The Edwards Plateau
Historian were available from
Publications Chairman Harold
D. Jobes of Cedar Park, and
a table of Kimble County
books was attended by Billie
Fox Noguess and Kay Martin
Hurley.
Four presentations comprised the day’s program.
Nancy Hagood Nunns told
the story of “Kimbleville, A
County Seat,” as written by
KCHC Chairman Frederica
Burt Wyatt.
“Taming the Frontier –
the Roley Gentry Family”, a
research paper also compiled
by Chairman Wyatt, was presented by Jo Ella Bolt. The
history of “The Johnson Fork
Cemeteries” was written
and given by Jean Rembold
Froneberger. The fourth portion of the program featured
Peter R. Rose and his excellent
visual and oral presentation of
“Following Corporal Kimbell
–1880”.
EPHA President Ruth
Cooper of Winters opened
the meeting, and a welcome
greeting was given by former
County Judge and KCHC
member Andrew Murr, who
was accompanied by his son,
Coke. Invocation was given
by Charles Eckert of Mason,
and the meal blessing was lifted by James Murphy of San
Angelo. A delicious lunch was
catered by Bebe’s Specialties
and Catering, under direction
of the owner, Vivian Saiz.
Kimble Historical Commission is most appreciative of
each person who contributed
to the overwhelming success
of the meeting.
Volunteer docents Meckley
and Wyatt were pleased to
host a tour of the local historical museum Thursday afternoon when Fred and Brenda
Perry of London, England,
spent some time in Junction.
The interesting visitors were
en-route from the Big Bend
area to San Antonio, where
they anticipated a visit to the
Alamo. Their original plans
included a trip through the Big
Bend National Park, but that
did not materialize due to the
government “shut-down” of
national sites.
Jack and Brenda Taylor
Wade of Pelham, Alabama,
who journeyed to Texas for
the annual Josiah Taylor family reunion held September
28 in Kerrville, spent time
at the local historical museum before returning home.
Brenda is the granddaughter
of the late Charles Aquilla and
Ethel Turner Taylor. Greatgrandparents were Thomas C.
and Laura Evans Taylor and
Robert and Emma Scarborough
Turner, all of Kimble County.
A great-great grandmother,
Elizabeth Tumlinson Taylor,
is among relatives buried in the
Junction Cemetery.
Among others who came
our way in search of family
genealogy was Leora Kennedy
of Universal City, a descendant of John Bass Chenault
(1848-1917) and his wife,
Lillie Harmon Chenault (18561914), both of whom are at rest
in the Junction Cemetery.
Willis Springfield of Rio
Frio, who attended Saturday’s
meeting of the Edwards
Plateau Historical Association
in Junction, told this columnist one of the most interesting events of Real County’s
Centennial Observance was
a tour of the county’s burial
places. The attendees were
privileged to hear a bit of history at each cemetery.
A “Bridge to the Past” visit
to and a bit of maintenance of
the graves of one’s ancestors
should be a priority of everyone. Incidentally, the first
Sundays in April and October
are designated as annual cemetery visitation days in Texas.
Mike, Christine, and Abby
Zaborowki were among guests
at the recent wedding of
Christine’s sister, who opted to
have the ceremony in the scenic Dominican Republic. Abby
was one of the bridesmaids,
and the family enjoyed a brief
vacation along the ocean front.
Father of the bride is Gene
Grant, a transplant to the
Poconos area of Pennsylvania
and a former Junction resident.

Book Review
By Rosanna Stapp
W Is For Wasted
By Sue Grafton
When Kinsey Millhone is called by the coroner’s office to
identify a John Doe, she is intrigued. She wonders why her name
and business address were in his pocket.
As she is between jobs, she decides to do a little investigating
to see if she can find out who he was and what his story was.
As he was homeless and his stuff was stolen, this makes
Kinsey’s work harder. However, his three friends give her some
invaluable information that takes her to Bakersfield and some
upsetting news.
Ms. Grafton takes two different plots and in the end weaves
them into one story making this one of her best novels.

TEXAS PRESS
ASSOCIATION
The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, October 9, 2013
Ben Broker says:
I spend most of my time
looking for something that
I put up where I would
know where to find it;
trying to think of a word
or somebody’s name; or
looking for a place to go
to the bathroom.
Do Cokes in the smaller glass bottles taste better than in
other containers? Yes/No?
For years I’ve heard people say that Cokes in the smaller 8 oz.
bottles taste better than from other containers. Yes, I believe they
do. However, the exact same liquid goes in all the containers. So,
why is the taste different? Would you believe it is because of the
shape of the container?
Coke is bottled or canned under the pressure of carbon dioxide
gas we call carbonation. When the Coke container is opened, the
gasses are released. The first drink from any container tastes the
same as the gasses first escape. Because of the bulbous shape of
the small bottle some of the gasses cling to the walls of the bottle
and are released slower, thus keeping more of the gas bubbles
in the drink. In the small glass bottles more of the gas bubbles
linger, giving the Coke a consistent bubbly taste. It is these gas
bubbles that give off the refreshing taste. Cans with straight
sides release all of the gasses more quickly resulting in a flat
taste; whereas in the bottle, these gasses cling to the sides as they
climb to the top. The smaller neck in the bottle traps these gasses
longer thus keeping the coke taste longer.
Likewise, beer drunk from the “longneck” bottle taste fresher
longer since these gasses cling to the small neck of the bottle.
The “head” on a poured beer is a mass accumulation of these
gasses.
Another interesting fact about bubbles in beer and champagne
is that when swallowed the bubbles causes a faster absorption of
alcohol into the blood and circulatory system of the body. The
alcohol being absorbed much faster will cause the consumer to
feel the effect much more quickly.
A friend told me one time that he did not drink “longnecks”
because he began feeling the effects of intoxication too quickly.
This is especially true of champagne which has extreme carbonation.
Do you remember the “old beer sots” drinking beer and playing dominoes for a long period and not marketedly showing the
effect? Not knowing why, they put salt in their beer glasses.
The salt causes the beer to quickly lose its bubbles (carbonation) which reduces the rate of alcohol absorption in the blood.
Urination expels some of the alcohol before the absorption into
the blood stream.
Whoda Thunk?
See you next week in the paper.
After thunk: Beer originated in Egypt. The Jewish slaves diet
consisted of beer and bread.

Lines from the
L i n k s by Don Glover
Greetings to all from Junction Golf Course! Wouldn’t it be
nice if we had this beautiful golf weather year round. When I
was a kid, I never seemed to worry about the temperature. We
would play outdoors whether it was 105 or 50. If it rained, we
would go to the river. If you’re going to be wet, you might as
well enjoy it.
Now I’m always watching the thermostat. Perfect weather
now is 60 to 78 degrees, and rain is best enjoyed indoors. My
folks bought our first swamp cooler when I was 12, but I don’t
remember suffering prior to that happening. My, how we have
become spoiled by modern conveniences.
A good example is the golf club. We used hardwood or persimmon until the 80’s. Taylormade then created a steel golf
driver. During the 90’s, titanium golf drivers were brought to
the market. (I still use one.) Now golf driver heads are made
from several materials put together as one driver head. Old golf
drivers were about 220 grams in weight. The modern driver head
can weigh as little as 180 grams. Lighter equipment equals faster
swing speeds which equal longer drives.
Can you imagine what PGA golf statistics might look like
now if Arnold or Jack or Lee or Gary might have used new
technology back then. Jack Nicklaus could drive a golf ball 285
yards, using a persimmon driver head, a steel shaft and leather
club grips.
That club was considerably more heavy than today’s drivers.
If you really think you’re a good golfer, go to a yard sale, find a
persimmon headed driver and go hit it 285 yards. Tell me how
that works out for you.
The winners of the October 3 Scramble were George Perez,
Ralph Tinney, Nick Sanders and Boocoo Haas. Tied for 1st
place were Casey Murr, Johnny Rimes and Don Glover. Skins
were won by Perez, Tinney, Sanders and Haas. Closest to the
pin on hole #6 was Murr. Closest to the pin on #8 was won by
Glover.
Remember, golf should be fun. Forget the bad shots, remember the good shots, and look for one positive thing in each golf
swing.
The Menard-Kimble-Mason Unit of the Texas Retired
Teachers’ Association gives a scholarship each year to a college senior who is doing student teaching through a college or
university.
This year’s recipient is Ashley Gardner, from Junction, who
is currently student teaching at Nelson Elementary School in the
San Antonio Independent School District. Her level of assignment for student teaching is kindergarten. Ashley will graduate
from UTSA in December.
Presenting her with a check for $300 is the unit President,
(who happens to be Ashley’s proud grandmother), Mary Ann
Woodard of Junction.
We
appreciate
our Pastor!

A message
from Chief Marvin Ivy
I take some hits from time
to time about my articles, but
I continue to think they serve a
helpful purpose. Consistently,
the most popular subject that I
pick on is not always my reader’s favorite. Rather it is the
topic that I recognize a community needs to read about.
I have said many times that
if the chance to get money is
too good to be true, it probably
isn’t a good thing. No one out
there will pay you thousands
of dollars to go and buy gift
cards and send the numbers
back. They may give you a
worthless piece of paper that
looks like a check and you
may be able to cash it like a
check. But when it gets turned
around in a few days, you will
owe the bank all the money
they gave you, and if you have
sent it off to the bad guys in the
form of gift card numbers, you
will be left deep in debt.
Add these scams to the:
grandson in jail in a foreign
country needing bail money,
but don’t call his parents. Or to
the: we found this guy, and he
has lots of money that we can
cheat him out of since he is a
“stupid minority”, and all you
have to do is show some real
cash to allow us to dupe him
out of his money, and we all
can be rich. Or the: you have
won money in Nigeria and if
you send me the finder’s fee,
I’ll give it to you. Or recently:
the do this on the internet for
me, and we will pay you this
huge sum of money to do this
simple job, which won’t really
take you any time at all. All of
these are examples of scams
where greed, racism and gullibility take precedence over
common sense.
Many of these crimes are

tellers who will spot things that
will be a tip off. The staff at the
Lowe’s grocery store has been
able to save a few victims from
being sucked in. Many of my
readers have called to say they
avoided being a victim due to
our warnings here in the paper.
The most important group to
alert are the elderly, who may
have some money to lose and
are more trusting than some
of us think they should be. If
you read this article, share it
with some of my non-readers.
The victim last week said she
never reads my articles. Now,
she will be paying thousands
of dollars in restitution because
she was a victim of a swindle.
It happens here more often
than you think, and I am sure
I don’t hear about all of them.
The ones that hinge on greed
and racism probably are reported the least of all, because of
the embarrassment factor.
Until later, help us live crime
free here in the Land of Living

Moments
Well, Seniors, we’ve finally made it to our last year
at Junction High School, and
slowly but surely, time is ticking down to that glorious day
we will be handed our diplomas. They say to go forward
and never look back, but today
I want to take you back to
some of the wonderful memories we’ve shared over the
years.
Starting way back in kindergarten, remember when all we
had to worry about was getting
a sticker on our folder, what
center we would play in that
day, or going out for recess?
For me personally, I will never
forget attempting to run away
from my kindergarten class
and Mr. Peters informing me
that it was my job to go to
school.
Then we moved on to elementary school, where we
began lots of reading. Do you
remember the trips down to
the AR Lab to check out a
book? I vividly remember how
we would hide out near Mrs.
Molesworth’s desk as long as
possible, just trying to avoid
going back to class. Once, I
even stapled my fingers together in the AR Lab. Nevertheless,
she started hiding the stapler
after that incident. Some of
us had the honor of being in
Mr. B’s (Bullard’s) class, one
of my most favorite teachers.
Then we moved on to fourth
and fifth grade, where they
piled up the homework, and
we were constantly being told,
“You won’t get away with that
in middle school!”
When middle school came
around, we were exposed to
the seventh and eighth graders.
Remember how much older
they seemed as they towered
over us? And who can forget
the thrill of getting to eat at
the Little Store for lunch? We
really thought we were the big

dogs then! We were also introduced to junior high athletics
when we were in the seventh
grade and had the privilege to
play for the Junction Eagles.
Another thing burned into
my memory is Coach Butch
Lewis’s seventh grade history
class. He made learning history
fun and we were always having a blast in there. Speaking
of history, I’m sure we can all
remember Mrs. Craig’s dreaded spiral, which I still have and
use occasionally. I believe she
told us we would need it later
on in high school and beyond,
and she was right!
After eighth grade promotion, we all headed to high
school to begin our final educational journey at Junction ISD.
A rite of passage in high school
was that we got to go OFF
CAMPUS for lunch. Learning
to order ahead, eat fast, and get
back on time was a big challenge. With high school, came
more time-consuming sports.
Most of us started to focus on
our favorite sports and mine
was tennis. I had a blast on
lots of fun tennis tournaments
with my teammates and Coach
Abilez.
Of course, we cannot forget
one of the greatest moments of
our lives happened during high
school, turning sixteen and
getting our drivers licenses!
And we mustn’t forget Mrs.
Boone’s numerous scientific
lectures. Staying awake during them will surely pay off in
the future. And let’s not forget
Mr. Ramirez’s countless stories when he got off topic during Spanish class. And never
shall we forget Mrs. Castillo’s
contagious school spirit. These
are all just a few of the wonderful memories made at Junction
High School.
Out of all these unforgettable
memories, I will never forget
how my faith in The Lord has
grown during these maturing
years. There are many times
when we have had to lean on
God and on each other when
we were struggling with life
decisions. I’ve enjoyed being
a part of FCA, See You At
the Pole, House of Faith, etc.
that are encouraging Christian
organizations! I won’t ever forget my youth group leader at
the Methodist Church, Jerry
Wallace, and both my pastors, Scott Bradford and Steve
Fieldcamp, my family, and
friends who have all made a
big impact on my Christian
faith.
Looking back at all the
memories made in Junction
with friends, family, teachers,
coaches, and spiritual leaders
only serves to show how much
we are cared about and how
much we mean to each other.
Reflecting on the past and all
the good times makes me a
little sad. It is definitely bittersweet to think of leaving
this place in less than a year,
so we need to make a lot more
memories this year. We have
certainly been blessed to have
had such wonderful experiences here in this small town,
Junction, Texas.
May God bless Junction,
Texas, and may God bless the
Class of 2014!

Eagles
Continued from Page 1
listed the following tackles:
Zach Aguilar, 7 and 1 sack;
Joshua Mogford, 7 tackles;
Bannowsky, 6 tackles, 1 interception. Young had 5 tackles and a sack. Both Salazar
and Dennis were each credited with 4 tackles and a sack;
Henry Whitworth and David
Lee Modesto with 4 tackles
each; Judge Modesto, 2 tackles
and a sack; Jordan Easterling,
1 tackle and 2 sacks.
Some highlights in the contest were watching the quick,
fast Perez run and then spin
out of reach, making him
frustratingly hard for opponents to bring down. The 5’6”,
135-pounder was also seen
stiff-arming a hefty approaching defender. His zigging and
zagging and side-stepping
through the battling lines
was fun to watch. On his first
TD, when he broke out of
the scrum, he lit the burners
and ran flat out into Leakey’s
end zone, gaining distance on
his pursuers. Plumley, too, is
quick and returned the first
kickoff 27 yards. On one
play, J. Modesto impressively
slammed and stopped both the
Leakey ball-carrier and the
blocker in front of him and
was an effective lead blocker for some of the rushers.
Daniel Newbury picked up a
bouncing punt and returned
it for 25 yards. On a pass
from Martinez, Newbury
made a picture-perfect catch.
Aguilar returned a free-kick
27 yards. Easterling continued
his “sacking” ways.
While the match between
Leakey and Junction was lopsided, the upcoming game
against Brackett is another
matter. The Brackett Tigers
have not lost a game this season. They have three returning players who, according to
Dave Campbell’s 2013 Texas
Football magazine, had very
impressive stats last season.
David Ortega made 1,307
yards and 16 TDs last year.
He’s also an adept receiver.
The worrisome combination
of passing quarterback Coltan
Stephenson, who passed for
1,383 yards and 16 TDs in
2012, and receiver Ez Rivas,
who caught for 594 yards and
9 TDs, will require much from
the Eagle defense.
“It’s going to be a battle,” said Coach Spivey of
the Tigers. “We have to shut
down their running back
(Ortega). They are aggressive
defensively.” He said that his
players are excited about taking on the Tigers. “They’re
ready to go.”
Eagles fans should be ready
to go too. Be out at Eagle
Stadium on Friday at 7:30
p.m. to back the Junction
Eagles. And....remember....
it’s Homecoming!
On Thursday, the middle
school Eagles will play in
Brackett at 5:30; the junior
varsity plays immediately
after.

the County Judge position as
he begins his run for State
Representative of District 53.
The case was prosecuted by
Mason County Attorney Shain
Chapman who was assigned
by Judge Murr to prosecute the
case because of a conflict with
the Kimble County Attorney’s
office. Local attorney Larry
Harrison represented Mr.
McGinnis. Judge Murr indicated this was the first criminal
jury trial in County Court in
more than four years.
Assault causing bodily injury is a Class A misdemeanor
which carries a maximum punishment of one year in county
jail and up to a $4,000 fine.
Prior to the commencement
of trial, the defendant elected
to have the jury assess punishment if he was found guilty.
After a trial on punishment,
at Mr. Chapman’s request,
the jury sentenced Billy G.
McGinnis, Jr. to a $2,000 fine
and one year in county jail, the
maximum jail time allowed for
this offense.
Kimble County Sheriff
Hilario Cantu stated that he
hopes this verdict will serve as
a message to those in the community that engage in crime,
including misdemeanor crimes
and that the Kimble County
Sheriff’s Office will continue
to arrest and pursue criminal
convictions against those who
break the law.

Road terror, motorcycles, SUVs and the Second Amendment
by Glenn Mollette
Everyone who has watched
the news has seen the SUV
being attacked by a gang of
motorcyclists in Manhattan.
We watched a husband, wife
and baby surrounded by terror
whose lives were seemingly
going to end right before our
eyes.
Most of us have imagined
ourselves in a similar scenario
and played out in our minds
how we might react.
Such a scenario happened to
my wife several years ago as
she was traveling on Interstate
75 south of Cincinnati. A group
of motorcyclists surrounded
her car. Several got in front of
her with several others to the
side and others behind her car.
As the cyclists in front of her
drove slower and slower it was
obvious to her they were trying
to force her to pull off to the
side of the road. Gripped with
fear she motioned that she was
moving forward and floored
the accelerator. Fortunately for
the cyclists in front of her they
had a moment of rational thinking and got out of her way as
she sped forward at 85 to 90
mph to get away from them.
The highway is no place for
games, rage or acts of violence.
Cyclists, truckers and automobile drivers should be courteous and share the road. We are
all paying taxes on America’s
highways and all should be
respectful of each other.
In the days ahead we will
hear from the driver and wife of
the SUV. I would have called
911. Even today, not everyone
has a cell phone. In such cases
we all need one to call for help.
More and more phones today
are capable of taking pictures
and videotaping. When you
are afraid for your life you do
not always have time to be a
photographer but criminals and
bullies do not want to be photo-
graphed. Without the videotape
airing across the nation who
knows how this story might
have been spun.
Finally, what if the family
could have pulled a handgun
out of the glove box? NYC
law makes that very difficult
in comparison to most of our
country. However, residents
of NYC should make every
effort to achieve a legal permit
and push every day for second amendment rights. What
man or woman would not
have begun firing the moment
the window of that SUV was
crashed? I would have fired
away to protect my family if I
had a gun.
Obviously, the cyclists could
have been armed as well and
thus several people could have
ended up dead. This brings us
back to the extreme necessity
that we must all utilize respect
and common sense as we travel
our highways. There is zero
need for violence. We need to
be grateful for freedom and the
privilege to drive and chill out.
Give people some room.
Don’t ride people’s bumpers.
Don’t cut people off. Do not
use hand gestures with people
as this only escalates driving
tension. Do not harass people.
Do not stop your car to get into
Anthrax case confirmed in two sable antelopes
submitted
AUSTIN - Anthrax has been
detected in two sable antelopes in Edwards County, near
Barksdale, Texas. This is the
first confirmed case in the state
this year.
The affected premises has
only exotic animals, so no
domestic livestock are involved
in this case. The Texas Animal
Health Commission (TAHC)
has issued a quarantine requiring proper disposal of carcass-
es before the quarantine can
be released. Burning destroys
the causative agent, preventing
soil contamination and reducing the chances of future outbreaks.
Anthrax is a bacterial disease
caused by Bacillus anthracis,
which is a naturally occurring
organism with worldwide distribution, including Texas. It
is not uncommon for anthrax
to be diagnosed in livestock
or wildlife in the southwestern
part of the state. Basic sanitation precautions such as hand
washing, wearing long sleeves
and gloves can prevent accidental spread of the bacteria
to people if handling affected
livestock or carcasses.
Acute fever followed by
rapid death with bleeding from
body openings are all common
signs of anthrax in livestock.
Carcasses may also appear
bloated and appear to decompose quickly. Livestock or
animals displaying symptoms
consistent with anthrax should
be reported to a private veterinary practitioner or TAHC
official.
“The TAHC will continue to
closely monitor the situation
for possible new cases across
the state. Producers are encouraged to consult their veterinary
practitioner or local TAHC
office if they suspect they are
having an anthrax outbreak or
if they have questions about
the disease or vaccination of
livestock/” Dr. T.R. Lansford,
TAHC Assistant Executive
Director for Anima Health
Programs, said.
For more information regarding Anthrax, contact your local
TAHC region or call 1-800-
a yelling match with someone.
There have been moments
that all of us have felt like other
motorists on the highway were
jerks. Pursuing an altercation
leads to nowhere. Try to keep
your cool and drive responsibly.
And, in case such a scenario
happens to you that happened to
the Manhattan family remember your Second Amendment
rights.

The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, October 9, 2013
Ike
Ike
I don’t know about you,
Mike, but I am ready for some
14-1A District football. I know
our Junction Eagles are ready
too. Kudos to our big D for
the shutout against Leakey--our Eagle pass defenders had
a great workout. Our offense
took a bit to kick into gear
but when they did----wow! I
couldn’t keep up with all our
Eagles that scored. 51-0 says
all cylinders were hitting for
TEAM Junction.
I would like to take the
opportunity to call out the
guys that are in the trenches
and are a key part of the victorious 4-1 pre-district success our Eagles have enjoyed.
Guys like Trever Wright and
Cole Mason, guys like Trace
Hickenbottom and Garet
Martin, also Brandon Leach
and Skyler Newton----these
Eagles are the backbone of
our team and are quietly doing
their jobs; they are essential to
the upcoming District battles
to be fought. From freshmen
to senior----they are TEAM
EAGLE. Thank you Golden
Eagle band and cheer squad---you rock!!!!!
A word to our Volleyballers---way to go Lady Eagles!!!!!
Keep up the great work-----crush the district!
Okay, here we go----Dis-
trict 14-1-A is up for grabs!
Bracket is 5-0; Junction is 4-1,
Mason 3-1, Harper 3-2 and
Ozona 2-3----- in the cellar
is Center Point at 1-4. Our
Junction Eagles are right in
there with the big boys in
the District. Let’s look a little
closer, Brackett is 5-0, but
the only win they have that
impressed me at all was a
32-26 win over Sabinal. (I
will give ‘em this, they score
a lot of points and have gotten familiar with winning).
Mason is 3-1, but Mason, as
usual, has had a competitive
pre-season against teams like
Goldthwaite and San Saba,
only losing a close one to
a decent 2-A Comfort team.
Harper is at 3-2 but has also
played some good schools,
like Sonora and an abnormally
decent Ingram Moore team.
Ozona kind of looks out of it
at 2-3, but don’t be fooled by
the numbers, they have had a
tough schedule (Iraan, Crane
and Sonora) and if they are
still healthy, are very dangerous. That being said, I don’t
think we have seen the best
of our Junction Eagles yet.
They are still coming together as a team----I really like
what I see, Mike. Our Eagles
have great character; they are
a bunch of good guys; and
they have talent and depth (if
all stay healthy) and ability. I
like our coaches, and I like our
chances, and I love our fans!
It all starts this Friday night,
in our House. The Brackett
Tigers come to see if they
can ruin our HOMECOMING
fun. Our Eagles and our
fans have something to say
about that-------GO BLACK--EAGLE UP---BEAT THE
TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!
Brackett 30 at Junction 32
Center Point 7 at Ozona 35
Harper 14 at Mason 42
Mike
Hey Ike !!!!!
Wonder what we can talk
about this week? We could
talk about our homecoming
celebration being rained out-we could mention some old
camel jokes, but some of us
are not camels -- we could talk
about our homecoming coming up (I wonder what Mrs.
Boone would think of that).
I guess we might could even
talk about the terrible homecoming Leakey had--OR we
could talk about my visit to the
ICU last week --that last one
was a terrible joke, it seems -sorry about that -- SO let’s just
talk about Leakey’s terrible
homecoming - the destruction
brought about at the hands of
OUR MIGHTY JUNCTION
EAGLES !!!
What started out as a penalty-laden defensive battle,
with the first quarter ending
scoreless at 0-0, rapidly turned
into a penalty-laden Junction
offensive display--with the
half-time score being 28-0!!
Following the long half-time
activities for homecoming,
Junction kept their momentum, ending the third quarter at
43-0!! The fourth quarter was
more of the same, just different
players, the final score being a
disastrous (for Leakey) 51-0.
WAY TO GO JUNCTION
EAGLES!! OFFENSE and
DEFENSE kicked BUTT!! I
guess we could say KUDOS
to the entire team, coaching
staff, and support personnel
for a job WELL DONE !!!
This coming Friday night,
we will be having our homecoming festivities, to make up
for the rained out game against
Irion County--Brackettville
will be coming here in an
attempt to ruin OUR homecoming--NOT THIS TIME!!-NOT THIS YEAR!!--NOT
AGAINST OUR MIGHTY
JUNCTION EAGLES!!-Bracketville is going to be
a tougher opponent than
Leakey,
BUT they can’t beat us IF
we play hard and avoid penalties and turnovers--COME ON
OUT, JUNCTION, and see
an awesome game--brought
to you by JUNCTION’S
EAGLES!!
I just hope I don’t end up
in the ICU again (that’s a
joke) some would say lol, but
not my generation--EAGLES
WIN 28 -24!!!
See ya at the game!! GO
EAGLES!!

Eagles rushing workhorse, Austin Rivas (33), takes a header
in the gut, but not until he had secured a first down and
moved the Junction Eagles eight yards closer to the Leakey
goal line.
Leakey wider receiver, Dimitri Perez (82), has come to a
dead stop at the line of scrimmage with the help of J-Eagle
linebacker Justus Young (20) and defensive end Henry
Whitworth (70). Teammates close to the action are Juan
Perez (9), Judge Modesto (66) and David Lee Modesto (78).
Junction Eagle Zach Aguilar (44) makes a flying open-field

The clash of the Eagles last Friday in Leakey ended with seven touchdowns for the yard loss. Aguilar would lead the J-Eagles defense in tackles
during last Friday’s lopsided victory in Leakey.
Junction Boys, as a result of this kind of effort from the offensive line.
Quick and fast, whirling dervish Juan Perez (9) refuses to be taken down. After juking
through the Leakey Eagles’ defense, he will light the burners and hustle 45 yards for a
touchdown. Clearing the way are teammates Garet Martin (52), Dontay Foy (23) and all
275 pounds of Judge Modesto (66). Perez would rush for 90 yards and two touchdowns in
the 51-0 win against the Leakey Eagles.
Teamwork: David Lee Modesto (78) has made contact with Leakey ball carrier Isaiah
Chavez (44). Teammates backing him are Jose Salazar (4), Jordan Easterling (54), Henry
Whitworth (70) and Victor Reyes (58). Driving toward the play are Justus Young (20) and
Zach Aguilar (44). The J-Eagles claimed a 51 to 0 victory last Friday night in Leakey.

Sophomore running back Jose Salazar (4) carries the ball for the J-Eagles, escorted by Trever Wright (77), Juan Perez (9),

with lots of time to pick a route. He would rush for 13 of the
15 yards needed for a first down. In last Friday’s defeat of
the Leakey Eagles, Martinez averaged 10.5 yards per carry,
rushing for one touchdown and passing for two more.
With the Leakey Eagles backed up against their own goal line, the ball was snapped over the quarterback’s head. Here
J-Eagles Judge Modesto (66) and Jordan Easterling (54) have downed the player/ball in the end zone, adding two points
for the safety. Running to the action are Garet Martin (52), Laith Bannowsky (3), Jose Salazar (4), David Lee Modesto (78),
and (in the air) Asa Plumley (6).
Sophomore Eagle running back Jose Salazar (4) returns a
punt to the Leakey Eagles 29 yard line. Four plays later,
he would cross the Leakey goal line to add six points to the
J-Eagles’ 51-0 win. Laith Bannowsky (3) keeps a would-be
spoiler at bay. Moving in are Justus Young (20) and Garet
Martin (52).

Rivas (33) have plenty of time to set the play, courtesy of linemen Trever Wright (77), Garet
Martin (52), Trace Hickenbottom (72) and Judge Modesto (66). Here, Martinez will launch
a pass to tight end Clay Dennis (11) for a thirteen yard gain, followed by a pass to Dontay
