GREEN GROUP, CONCERNED RESIDENTS HASH IT OUT - Green Group Holdings hosted the first of
a series of public meetings on Tuesday evening to discuss plans for a multi-use development which will include a landfill, proposed in the area near the intersection of Highway 183 and FM 1185 in rural Caldwell
County. Neighbors and area residents have been vocally opposed to the development, and have organized a group to oppose the development. Green Group will host another meeting at their offices, 205 S.
Main St., in Lockhart, on Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 6 p.m. Local residents organizing in opposition to the facility
have scheduled a meeting on Thursday, Oct 10, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lytton Springs Baptist Church.
Officials urge vaccination before flu season begins
With flu season set to begin and vaccine in plentiful supply, the Texas Department of State Health
Services encourages everyone 6 months old and
older to get vaccinated to protect themselves and
their families against the flu.
“We have already seen an increase in flu activity
in Texas, and now is the time to get vaccinated,” said
Dr. Lisa Cornelius, DSHS infectious diseases medical officer. “A dose of vaccine now will help protect
people throughout the flu season. There is no reason
to put it off.”
The flu is caused by various influenza viruses.
The vaccine is formulated each year to match the
strains of flu researchers expect to be circulating.
New versions of the vaccine available this year will
protect against four strains of the virus. The new
vaccine is available as a shot for everyone and as a
nasal spray for people ages 2 to 49 who are healthy
and not pregnant. The version of the vaccine that
covers three strains is also still available.
This year’s vaccine protects against the strains
A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), A/Victoria/361/2011
(H3N2) and B/Massachusetts/2/2012. The fourstrain vaccine will also protect against B/Bris-
bane/60/2008.
Flu symptoms come on quickly and can be severe.
They include fever, coughing, sore throat, aches,
chills and fatigue. Most healthy people recover without problems after a week or more, but people 65
and older, pregnant women, young children and
people with chronic health conditions are at higher
risk for serious complications and even death. It is
especially important for people in those high-risk
groups to be vaccinated.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
recommends everyone 6 months old or older be vaccinated against seasonal flu. The CDC also says that
children under age 9 who are getting the flu vaccine
for the first time should get two doses at least four
weeks apart.
People can help stop the spread of the flu and
other illnesses by covering all coughs and sneezes,
washing their hands frequently and staying home
when sick.
People can contact their health care provider,
local health department or dial 2-1-1 to find out
where to get a flu shot. Flu information and tips for
protecting against the flu are at texasflu.org.
SEE ELECTION 7A
AROUND TOWN
GO GREEN!
The Post-Register can be recycled at locations across Caldwell County, including collection
points at most LISD schools.
Election signs are cropping up across Lockhart and
Caldwell County as candidates stare down the barrel
of the beginning of early voting.
Absentee voting begins on Oct. 21 for a joint state
and local election. In Lockhart, the election may mean
big changes to the Lockhart City Council.
In the most broad-sweeping race, four candidates
have thrown their hat into the ring to serve as Councilmembers At Large, two positions on the Lockhart
City Council intended to represent the entire community, rather than the single-member districts.
Incumbent Mayor Pro Tem Angie GonzalesSanchez, who is currently finishing her first term as
Councilmember At Large, will see challenges from
three well-known candidates as she makes her bid for
re-election.
Longtime council member Kenny Roland, who
opted not to seek re-election to his District One seat
three years ago, has decided to come back to the local
political scene, this time running for one of the two At
Large seats.
Bernie Rangel, a fixture in the community as the
Parks Director, has also opted to expand his service to
the community by seeking a spot on the council.
Gonzales-Sanchez, Roland and Rangel will be
joined on the ballot by former Lockhart Independent
School District trustee John Manning, who has also
decided to make another run at public service.
Two single-member seats, in District One and District Two, also appear on November’s ballot.
Incumbent District Two representative “Big” John
Castillo is running unopposed for his second term.
Incumbent District One councilmember Juan Mendoza is facing a challenge for his seat, from longtime
Lockhart resident Marcos Villalobos.
Seated city council member Paul Gomez has opted
not to seek re-election to the council, instead choosing
to make a run next year for the position of Caldwell
County Judge.
Though filing for positions on next year’s Primary
ballot does not officially open until Nov. 9, 2013, both
Gomez and Fermin Islas have already begun campaigning for the office, with signs and other campaign
materials cropping up throughout the county.
Rumors have swirled about other candidates planning to run for not only County Judge, but for District
Attorney, following incumbent DA Trey Hicks’ surprising announcement last month that he does not
plan to seek re-election.

Nine simple tips for recycling at home
Recycling is crucial to
running a green home. It’s
also an easy and effective
way to reduce your
weekly contribution to
the local landfill.
Unfortunately, many
people either aren’t recycling as much as they
could be, or are recycling
the wrong way. A main
reason for this is lack of
access to accurate information.
Even if you know the
basics, you may have lingering questions. Cov-

anta, a world leader and
expert in sustainable
waste management and
renewable energy, offers
helpful insights into common recycling questions: • What cardboard is recyclable? All cardboard
boxes except waxed can
be recycled. In some communities, cardboard includes cereal, pasta or
other food boxes. If possible, remove adhesive labels and tape prior to
placing it in the recycling
bin, as glue can interfere
with the pulping process.
Recycle the non-greasy
portion of pizza boxes
and discard the rest with
the trash.
• Is wet newspaper recyclable? Paper fibers can
only hold so much moisture. If wet paper arrives
at the recycling facility, it
may not absorb the
chemicals needed to
process the paper fibers
into new products. Try to
keep recycle-ready paper
indoors until pick-up day.
• Should you remove
plastic bottle caps and
wine corks? Corks should
be reused or thrown in the
trash. Remove plastic
caps so you can crush the
plastic bottles, making it
easy to fit more into the
bin. Some caps are recyclable, but recycling centers
often
discard
non-recyclable caps as
trash.

• Can you recycle
items that contained
chemicals? Yes, as long as
they’re completely empty.
An exception is motor oil,
because residual oil can
interfere with plastics recycling. • Is crushing cans necessary? It’s not necessary
to crush cans in preparation for recycling, but
doing so makes room in
your recycling bin and the
transport truck, which
means fewer trips to the
recycling facility.
• How do you recycle
batteries and electronics?
Many municipalities are
now recycling electronics.
And some department
stores, such as Best Buy,
have take-back programs.
Visit
www.Call2Recycle.org to find your nearest battery take-back
location.
T‫ ה‬Unv By Tim KeLLy
• Where do recyclables
go? After curbside pickup, recyclables go to an
interim processor called a
Materials Recovery Facility. There, they are sorted
by machine and by hand
using a conveyor belt.
Separated recyclables are
sent to a processing plant
to be made into new
products.
• Why recycle? Recycling preserves natural resources and is good for
the economy, accounting
for about one million
manufacturing jobs nationwide, and generating
more than $100 billion in
revenue, according to the
Environmental Protection
Agency.
• What happens to
waste that’s not recycled?
While some materials
may be sent to landfills,
the preferred option is an
Energy-from-Waste facility, which offers a safe,
technologically advanced
means of waste disposal
that generates clean, renewable energy, reduces
greenhouse gas emissions
and recycles metal left
over in household waste.
More information about
how recycling and Energy-from-Waste go together can be found at

It’s time to get back to business

so-called leadership actually did it.
F ROM THE
Our leaders got

so involved in their
T OWER
own motives and
means, they beBY KATHI BLISS
came so dedicated
to their own lines in the sand, that they
actually triggered a “government shutdown.” I’m sure that my many friends
who are classified as “non-essential
personnel” have enjoyed this last week
of forced vacation time (for which they
may or may not ever be paid). I’m sure
they have loved spending time with
their children and their families – at
least the ones who aren’t busy working. And I’m certain that they’ve loved
their leisure time so much that they
aren’t at all concerned about how they
will pay their mortgages or their electric bills, when the time comes due, because they were forced out of work by
the very people they elected to “lead”
them.
It’s appalling, and it needs to stop. It
needs to stop today. And I strongly recommend that we all start calling, writing, emailing or otherwise badgering
our elected representatives until they
understand that NOTHING about this
government shutdown is acceptable,
and they need to rectify the situation
now. Right now. Right this minute.
Instead of pointing fingers at the Right
or the Left, instead of continuing to
babble about “Tea Baggers” and “Socialists,” we need to realize that the
war is not between us, as politically
separate factions. The war is between
the Government and the people. The
opening salvo was fired long ago.
The Right is not to blame. The Left
is not to blame. The President is not to
blame. They are ALL to blame. There
are 537 elected officials on Capitol Hill,
and there is plenty of blame to share
between them.
To my representatives on the Right
(Mr. Farenthold, Mr. Cornyn, Mr.
Cruz, I’m looking at you): Stop it. Just
stop it. We get the point you’re trying
to make, and a whole lot of us appreciate the point you’re trying to make.
It’s not working. It may be time to back
off, regroup, and find another plan.
You didn’t get your way this time. Get
over it.

Jesus E. Morales
MEMBER 2013
Jesus E. Morales was born in Luling,
Texas, on Feb. 22, 1926. He was the son
of Serapio Morales, Jr. and Silvestra Enriquez Morales. Serapio was born in
Gonzales County and was a first generation American. Silvestra was
brought to the United States by her
family when she was five. Serapio was
21 and Silvestra 15 when they married
in 1920. By 1930, the couple had four
children, Isabel, Eugenio, Jesus and
Concepcion. Six more children, including Fernando and Pedro, would follow.
The 1930 census showed that Morales
family living in Precinct Two of Caldwell County. Serapio was a farm laborer.
Although a Texan, Jesus enlisted in
the Army at Ft. MacArthur, San Pedro,
California on June 13, 1944. Like his father, he was a farmhand and it is quite
possible that he either was drafted or
enlisted while working as a migrant
farm worker. Jesus only received a
grammar school education, which was
all a child with nine siblings from an
impoverished Hispanic farm family
could expect in the way of education in
those days.
Jesus was assigned to the 99th Infantry Division, then in training at
Camp Maxey, Texas. After accelerated
training caused by severe manpower
shortages in Europe, the division entrained to Massachusetts’ Camp Miles
Standish for final preparation for overseas duty, then sailed to various English ports on troopships and refitted
luxury liners, including
Admiral
Capps, Marine Devil, George W.
Goethals, Argentina and Explorer. Its
various units arrived in Dorsetshire,
England, received two weeks of additional training, and crossed the English
Channel into France on Nov. 2, 1944. In
another two weeks, it was in the line.
The 99th’s official nickname was the
“Checkerboard Division.” Due to its
youth and inexperience, its men chose
to call themselves the Battle Babies.
The Battle Babies were about to take
part in some of the worst combat of
World War II. Rick Atkinson describes
the hell that was about to befall it and
other American units as the German’s
surprise winter offensive that would
become known as the Battle of the
Bulge struck on Dec. 16, 1944:
Two hundred thousand assault troops
packed into an assembly area three miles
deep. The initial blow by seven panzer divisions and thirteen of infantry, bolstered
by almost two thousand artillery tubes and
a thousand tanks and assault guns, would
fall on a front sixty-one miles wide. Five
more divisions and two heavy brigades
waited in the second wave, giving the Germans roughly a five-to –one advantage over
the opposing U.S. forces in artillery and a
three-to-one edge in armor.
Despite this the 99th would do itself
proud. The neophyte unit was struck
and ravaged by the German surprise
attack through the Ardennes Forest at
the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge.
The Sixth Panzer Army struck between
Monschau and Landerath. After parts
of the division were chewed up in the
initial attack, the remainder of the unit
retreated, regrouped, and with the assistance of American artillery, held its
ground against fierce attacks. First Battalion, 394th Infantry would receive a
Presidential Unit Citation. It read in
part:
The 99th Infantry Division received its
baptism of fire in the most bitterly contested
battle that has been fought since the current
campaign on the European continent

R EFLECTIONS
How would it be to
live in one place for
BY DOROTHY TAYLOR
the entire span of
one’s lifetime? This is
one item of thought that will always be
a mystery to me. Quite naturally, as I’ve
declared before, it was the big war that
caused lots of old time folks to leave the
place of beginnings. Nothing I can recall changed Cooke County as much as
the necessary army camp. And yet,
there are those who have lived in that
area all their lives, just like around
Caldwell County.
As I think back I know why I moved
on...Equal Half! After college graduation the job assignment took as to the
end of the earth...San Benito, Texas.
Several things we learned as we moved
about the valley included being content
no matter what. As the information
thrashes its way through my feeble
thought processes one really important
idea begs for attention. Had we not
moved several times we would have
missed out on knowing the “cream of
the crop” folks in several places.
It would be unreal to think that we
might never have become acquainted
with Ellis Milam. While in Huntsville
he was a classmate. He would appear
at our apartment door with hunger
written all over his face. He vowed
many times that all he had to eat was
some fried armadillo. He had used his
grocery money to pay tuition at Sam
Houston State. We believed his tales because when he appeared he could finish off anything we’d had for supper.
Once he ate an entire bowl of banana
pudding. What’s the toughest to believe is that after breakfast time and
there were a few biscuits left over he
could eat those things quickly. And, I’ll
admit that the first biscuits I baked
were delicious when they were right
out of the oven. But, after a time they
became as hard as nails. But, he ate
them like they were yummy. After a
time he met Stella! She became the love
of his life and is an especially great
cook to this day.
In our exchange of Christmas cards
and notes it’s the Milams who strike up
many happy memories. For example,
we already had four children and they
had three. We exchanged visits several
times and the number stayed the same.
But, finally, they added another, and
then another. It was Equal Half that declared that as I wrote my usual Christmas letter to them I should give them
the following news: “We finally figured
out what caused that!” Well, after all,
Equal Half does have the sense of
humor in the family. I declare that it
wasn’t me who did the survey of
names the other day in the grocery
store. It was Equal Half who walked up
to one of the nice men who works there
and asked, “Do you have a brother
named Cabbage?” His name tag declared him to be “Kale.”
Oh mercy! I could talk forever about
dear old friends. I may be just a bit envious of those who have always lived
in the vicinity where they were born.
(Kale is Kale McCrary).
Proverbs 18:24 “A man that hath
friends must show himself friendly;
and there is a friend that sticketh closer
than a brother.”

Reader stands against
landfill proposal
To the Editor:
I am writing in regards
to the proposed SH130
Environmental
Park
being brought to our
community by Green
Group Holdings, LLC,
and the recent articles
published in this paper.
As a nearly three-year
resident of Lytton Springs
I am very disturbed about
this proposed development. As a child I have always admired the beauty
of Lockhart and Caldwell
county, and when my
husband and I were looking for a location to start
our family near enough
for his Austin commute
with the capability to expand my small business
TO THE
we were overjoyed to find
our home just outside
Lytton Springs.
As both a new mom
and the owner of an
equestrian business I am
very concerned about
how this “environmental
park” will impact the traffic on FM 1185 and which
is traveled by numerous
school buses on a daily
basis. And the environmental impact this development will have on my
property and the surrounding countryside, in
regards to rainwater
runoff, drainage and air
quality.
The proposed 20 full
time jobs brought in by
this project are not
enough to outweigh the
cost to our water supply,
5A
E DITOR
air quality and surrounding property values.
We have a perfect example of how a dump can
stunt community growth
just up the road.
If we look at how
much I-35 has grown in
the last 8 years between
San Marcos and Austin;
Creedmoor compared to
the rapid growth of Kyle,
Buda, and South Austin
has been left in the dust.
Why? Because Creedmoor is considered to be
dump in the eyes of the
public and surrounding
communities.
We are already seeing
development inching its
way down from Austin,
and this whole area has
huge residential and retail
potential in the next 10
years.
Caldwell currently is
not a rich county and putting a dump here is not
going to help attract residents and businesses as
they spill over and out of
Austin. Why are we willing to
take a measly 20 jobs now
when we, as a community, will have the opportunity for so much just a
few years in the future?
Why should we settle for
a dump? Aren’t we worth
so much more?
Kaylon Robinson
Lytton Springs
Voter asks for term limits
To the Editor:
I just don’t understand
why the Federal Government refuses to accept the
WEST
Dirty
Work
to pack the cracks in the
dam with plastique explosives.
For those who are saying, “But Kathi, it’s the
law of the land!” I can
only say this. Yes, it’s the
law of the land. There
was a time when Prohibition was the law of the
land. There was a time
when DOMA was the law
of the land. There was a
time when “Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell” was the law of
the land. There was a
time when women couldn’t vote, and it was perfectly legal for people to
own other people.
Do you know what
those “Laws of the Land”
have in common? They
were bad laws. Enough
people acknowledge that
they were bad laws, and
so they were thrown out,
or rewritten and replaced
with laws that actually
make sense, and address
what they were meant to
address.
And I’m pretty sure
our Nation is better for it.
So here’s my idea.
Compromise. Put your
Party Politics in your
pocket, and remember
what your job actually is,
and who gave it to you.
Stop trying so hard to
keep your job… start actually doing your job.
And let the “non-essential personnel” go back to
doing theirs. I promise

after the car chase in
Washington, D.C., last
week? We couldn’t WAIT
to say that she was under
pressure because of the
shutdown and was blaming the government.
No… she was just a nut,
who thought the President was televising her
thoughts. Who cares
about her politics. She
was mentally troubled,
and had a long history of
BEING mentally troubled. That’s not the Republicans’ fault. It’s not
the Democrats’ fault.
Sometimes, things just
are what they are.
We also need to look at
this law, long and hard.
After all, we were told
when it passed that “we
have to pass it to see
what’s in it.” Okay, so a
lot of what’s in it, we
have come to find, doesn’t actually address the
problems it was intended
to solve, and it will make
things a whole lot harder
on the people it was
meant to help.
So why NOT delay it?
Why NOT step back, and
adjust the Affordable
Care Act so that it actually does some good, and
addresses where the
medical billing empire is
actually broken, rather
than feeding good money
after bad into widening
the breaks? Last time I

that the Left wasn’t
screaming, “it’s the Law

that have been written so
far.
Mr. President: Stop
leading your Party in acting like petulant threeyear-olds. You’re willing
to negotiate with anyone

not willing to negotiate
with OTHER AMERICANS about a piece of
legislation

making compromises, not
drawing a line in the sand

M ORALES
began... Your organization
gave ample proof of the fact
that it is a good hard fighting division and one in
which you and each and
every member of your command can be justly proud...
The Elsenborn Ridge
was struck over and over
again in an attempt by the
Germans to widen their
front. It was to no avail.
But the human cost was
high. There were over
5,000 casualties, killed,
wounded, or missing in
the 2nd Division and 99th
Divisions alone.
It is not known now
where
Jesus
was
wounded, or how he was
captured. During the Battle of the Bulge, the initial
onslaught of the enemy
attack caused retreating
units to leave badly
wounded men with
medics. It was hoped that
German captors would
provide some sort of
medical care to the
wounded, which they
often did. As one chronicler noted, “Wounded
had to be evacuated even
as units retreated. Units
generally gave the medics
priority for transportation of wounded on
whatever vehicles were
available. Wounded went
near the head of retreat-
ing columns, for safety,
while medics followed in
the rear to collect new casualties. Most units got
their
wounded
and
medics out safely, though
some locations got cut off
and other routes were too
dangerous to use after
darkness fell.”
The 99th Division
went over on the offensive in the later part of the
Bulge, and then fought its
way into Germany and
through the Siegfried
Line defenses to the
Rhine River. It was then
part of the forces trapping
large numbers of German
troops in the Ruhr Pocket,
in March of 1945.
The Luling Newsboy reported in its April 27,
1945, edition that Private
Jesus Morales had been
wounded in battle in the
European Theater, and
had been taken prisoner
by the Germans. No further word however was
available as to his whereabouts, nor to his present
condition. Two weeks
later, the Newsboy reported that Jesus’ parents
had been informed by the
Red Cross that their son
had died of wounds in a
Germany prisoner of war

E LECTION
Early voting in the
Nov. 5 election will be
held from Oct. 21 – Nov.
1, in the Conference and
Training Center at the LW
Scott Annex (1403 Blackjack St.), in Lockhart, and
at the Luling Civic Center
(300 E. Austin St.), in Luling.
Elections Administrator Pamela Ohlendorf
suggested on Tuesday
that the scheduled early
voting in Lockhart may
conflict with other plans
for the Conference and
Training Room, but the
Commissioners have not
altered the order they entered in August designating that area as the early
voting location.
Statewide on Nov. 5,
voters will be asked to decide a variety of Constitutional
amendments,
including those that
would provide property
tax breaks for surviving
spouses of those killed in
military service and
changing the requirements and procedures for
reverse mortgages. Check
next week’s Post-Register
for a comprehensive assessment of the nine proposed amendments, as
well as sample ballots for
the upcoming election.

Can help get to you in an emergency?
It’s the middle of the
night, or during the day,
and an emergency you
have not planned for has
arrived. Immediately, you
do what you can for your
child, loved one or the
person in need; maybe
you need help – maybe
there is an intruder in
your home.
You then call for help,
depending on emergency
personnel to get there
quickly and help with the
life-threatening situation.
Time passes; seconds
seem like minutes and
minutes seem like hours
and no one has arrived.
Then the phone rings.
It’s the Emergency Dis-
patcher, who advises
emergency
personnel
cannot find your location
due to not finding your
address.
This is a reality that
often occurs. Emergency
personnel go back and
forth, desperately trying
to get to the victim, only
to find themselves de-
layed because addresses
have not displayed properly; either the numbers
are not on the house or
mailbox, or have faded to
where they are not legible.
Other areas that cause

The date of Jesus’
death was given officially as April 18, 1945.
This date could be an arbitrary one representing
the actual date the POW

death was received. We
just don’t know.
Jesus is buried in Plot
B, Row 17, Grave 7,
Netherlands American
Cemetery in Margraten,
Netherlands. Jesus was
nineteen when he died
of his wounds.

The Flying Nun
Daughter of Charity takes flight of a lifetime
By Kathi Bliss
Growing up outside New Orleans, little Catherine
Brown heard her father talking about the flights he
used to take as a young pilot.
Having married a woman 20 years his junior, Mr.
Brown had long since given up his planes and flying,
by the time he had his daughter. Still, the memories
stayed with him, and he passed those along to his
children, as they sat outdoors and watch planes fly
around their area.
Deep in her heart, Catherine always longed to
know the feeling of flying in the open air. Late last
month, she finally got her chance.
As she grew up, Catherine entered the ministry,
eventually joining the Order of the Sisters of Charity,
the benevolent group that was the founding force behind the Seton Family of Health Care. Now “Sister
Catherine,” Brown saw an auction item at September’s Taking Care of Tiny Texans Gala, and knew it
was meant for her.
The “Ride of a Lifetime,” a 30-minute plane ride in
John Cyrier’s well-known 1941 Stearman airplane,
was available for purchase during the capstone
fundraiser for Seton’s Children’s Care-A-Van.
“Sister Catherine had people watching over the
auction, to make sure that she didn’t get outbid for
the ride,” said Carrie Cavanaugh, the development
director for the Seton Hays Foundation. “And since
then, I have seen other plane rides entered in the auctions and presented them to her, and she just laughed
at me. This is the only one she wanted.”
Cavanaugh and Sister Catherine were in Lockhart
on Sept. 28, to meet with Cyrier and finally give Sister Catherine her “ride of a lifetime.”
“The Stearman is the plane that they did most of
the training for, for the World War II pilots,” Cyrier
said as he gave Sister Catherine the tour of his plane,
explaining the workings of his restored historic plane.
“This one was, as well.”
When Cyrier’s Stearman was retired from military
service, it was used as a crop duster until the early
1980s, when it was finally taken out of service and
stored in a barn, until it was found by an aviation buff
and restored.
Cyrier, himself an experienced pilot and history
buff, purchased the plane several years ago, and has
since not only donated rides for auctions and other
fundraisers, but has taken pride in offering rides to
former WWII pilots.
“All of the pilots that I take up, I have them sign
the cover of my cargo hold,” Cyrier said as he displayed dozens of signatures on a small metal flap behind the cockpit. “It’s something that I really enjoy,
talking to them and learning about their experiences.”
Cyrier explained most WWII pilots were young
men fresh off the farm,
who had never seen an airplane, let alone imagined
they would fly one.
The Stearman, as a simple yet fully mechanically
driven two-seater, offered
the opportunity to train
those young men, as both
the front and back cockpits
have fully functioning controls.

Amaya completes training
at West Point
Cadet Jesus Demetrio
Amaya, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jesse Amaya, of
Lockhart, completed
Cadet Basic Training at
the U.S. Military Academy.
Amaya entered West
Point on July 1 and has
successfully completed
six of CBT. CBT is one
of the most challenging
events a cadet will encounter over the course of
their four years at the academy.
The initial military training program provides
cadets with basic skills to instill discipline, pride,
cohesion, confidence and a high sense of duty to
prepare them for entry into the Corps of Cadets.
Areas of summer instruction included first aid,
mountaineering, hand grenades, rifle marksmanship and nuclear, biological, and chemical training.
Amaya began classes Aug. 19. The West Point
curriculum offers 37 majors balancing physical sciences and engineering with humanities and social
sciences leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.
Amaya graduated from Lockhart High School.
He plans to graduate from West Point in 2017 and
be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S.
Army.
The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to
educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so
that each graduate is a commissioned leader of
character committed to the values of Duty, Honor,
Country and prepared for a career of professional
excellence and service to the nation as an officer in
the United States Army.

No Place Like Home: LHS grad returns to practice in Caldwell County
There’s no place like
home for Dr. Jamilla
Stone, a Lockhart High
School graduate.
After practicing medicine across the U.S. and
internationally, she followed her yellow brick
road back to Caldwell
County this month.
“While I have been all
over the world, my heart
DR. JAMILLA STONE
wanted to return to
Texas,” Stone said. “I couldn’t see how that would
work out, but now it has. I feel very lucky and excited to serve in my own community.”
Now a board certified family practitioner with
Seton Family of Doctors in Luling, Stone grew up
in Lytton Springs, just 10 miles northeast of Lockhart. She noted she is a fan of barbeque and again
will enjoy close proximity to the “BBQ Capital of
Texas.”
Somewhere between driving from Texas to Honduras to visit her grandparents and studying
abroad in Chile as an undergraduate student at Rice
University, Stone developed an urge to travel. She
graduated summa cum laude from American University of Antigua College of Medicine and traveled
to San Miguel De Allende, Mexico, to complete
medical Spanish training and certification.
While not a native speaker, she is well-versed in
conversational Spanish – a skill certain prove useful
with many of her patients.
Stone is an active volunteer with international
humanitarian
projects
that have taken her to
Honduras,
Mexico,
Nepal and Nicaragua.
Through her national and international exposure,
she developed a deep commitment to underserved
populations and advocating for patient rights.
Most recently, she served as assistant medical director and as a physician for a rural health care center in Union, S.C. She is drawn to rural medicine
and passionate about increasing community access
to information about chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
And now, she’s returned to her roots.
“It’s a small world,” Stone said. “Our office manager is my high school classmate’s mother. I am incredibly fortunate to be home again and
surrounded by friends and family.”
Stone’s parents still reside in Lytton Springs. Her
siblings and several extended family members live
in and close to Caldwell County. She looks forward
to visiting the woods near her parents’ house, enjoying the San Marcos River and playing pick-up
soccer games with friends and family.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. Stone, call
the Luling clinic at (830) 875-3445.

More than a score
Shutout only tells part of the story
By Kathi Bliss
They knew it was going to be the toughest game
they faced so far this year.
When they got off the bus, the Lions knew. They
had traveled to Schertz to face the Clemens Buffaloes, arguably one of this year’s District 27-4A
powerhouse teams. Until Friday night, the Buffs had
averaged 36 points per game, and sported a defensive line that had only given up three touchdowns in
their first four games.
The Lions had their work cut out for them.
As the night drew to a close, it was clear that the
job was a little more than the Lions could handle.
Clemens’ slippery, solid defense tricked the Lions into
a handful of false-start penalties before stopping their
offensive drives short and preventing Lockhart from
finding the end zone for the first time this season.
However, the final 0-23 score only tells part of the
story.
“We seemed at times to be somewhat mesmerized
by the buffaloes and every time one good thing
would happen, two bad things would follow,” Head
Coach Brian Herman said. “We just could not sustain
any momentum throughout the night. Defense
played well enough to keep us in the game but in the
end penalties and mistakes on offense and in special
teams kept us from getting on the scoreboard.”
Those penalties and missteps were costly, as the
Lions stacked up 12 penalty calls for a total loss of
100 yards. Without those losses, it seems, the Lions
could have been a contender.
In fact, the Lion offense logged eight first downs,
while Clemens had only 10. The Lions gained 205
yards, and held the Buffaloes to 240.
And the Lion defense proved to be the biggest
challenge the Buffaloes have seen this season, holding them to only 23 points, by far the lowest score
they have logged this season.
“Clemens is much improved from last year and
they currently have the best defense in the district
only giving up 21 points through 5 games,” Herman
said. “We currently rank second, having given up
108 points through 5 games. The Buffaloes defense
is bigger, stronger and faster than any defense we
have seen this year. Also, offensively they have
switched to a run-based offense that plays into their
strength and personnel. That along with having 44
hungry seniors makes Clemens a very scary opponent for anyone in this district, they seem to be on a
mission.”
The Lions are on a mission, as well, to make a bid
for the playoffs this year, and their hopes are well intact, returning to their home field on Friday night to
face longtime rivals the Hays Rebels.
The Rebels rolled over Lehman 56-34 in their first
District game of the season, and then fell 21-27 to

Kerrville Tivy last week. Like the Lions, the Rebels
are 3-2 (1-1) on the season.
The results could give one team or the other a
stronger position in the playoff hunt.
“Every week is going to be a huge challenge,”
Herman said. “So many teams in this district are capable of winning any game they play. Each week it
will come down to who is the most prepared and
then who executes the best with the fewest mistakes.”
The Lions will host Hays at Lion Stadium on Friday night. Kickoff is slated at 7:30 p.m.

for our B team,” Alford
said. “He is an excellent
student and person.”

JV Football
The J.V. Lions faced
Clemens last week. It
was a well-fought game
by the Lions, but in the
end Lockhart was defeated 24-14. Too many turnovers
cost the Lions in the end.
The game started off
great with the Lions
going from the 35 yard
line all the way down to
score, but fumbles on
their next three possessions would ultimately be
their downfall. Coach Brown said he
was extremely proud of
the kids and how they
never gave up, and
fought till the very end.
Top performers of the
night were Ralph Jaimes,
Ronald Hutchinson, and
the entire Lion defense. Cross Country
The LHS boys and
girls cross country teams
traveled to Fayetteville,
Ark., on Saturday, Oct. 5,
to compete in the Chili
Pepper Cross Country
Festival for the 16th consecutive year. The teams
were greeted by clouds
and
thunderstorms,
which delayed the start of
the meet for an hour and
15 minutes.
The Senior High Boys
Open 5K was the seventh
of 10 running events, including open, college,
high school and junior
high races. By the start of
the race, the rain had
stopped but the course
had been soaked, and
parts of the course were
turned into slippery mud
pits by the thousands of
runners. For better traction, the Lockhart boys
installed their longest
one-inch spikes.
More than 600 runners
representing 48 schools
competed in the race. Despite the poor conditions
and narrow course, the
Lockhart boys ran a
strong race and finished
in 11th place. The team
was led by junior Sergio
Moreno, who finished a
close second place in an
excellent time of 17:18,

Lady Lion Volleyball
The Lady Lions took
on Alamo Heights in district play last week,
falling in three games, (225), (11-25) and (9-5).
Alex Howard had four
kills on the night, while
Brooke Hoskins logged
15 digs. Ileana Gonzales
picked up six assists.
Howard, Gonzales and
Reagan Voigt each had
one ace, and Tassandra
McClelland and Macy
Riddle each put one block
on the books
When they hosted the
Seguin Matadors, the
Lady Lions struggled in a
rough match, eventually
falling in three, (13-25),
(11-25) and (13-25).
McClelland had two
aces, one block and three
kills on the night. Cassidy
Schmidt had three kills
and six assists. Howard
got three kills, as well.
Hoskins put up 19 digs.
The
Lady
Lions
rounded out a difficult
week of district play on
the road on Friday night,
taking on the Samuel
Clemens Lady Buffs. Although they started out
each set strong and competitive, according to
Coach Michelle Washington, the Lady Lions were
outgunned by a highly
competitive Lady Buffalo
squad.
Ultimately, the Lady
Lions fell in three, (8-25),
(19-25) and (13-25).
Match leaders were
Jasmine Foroughi, with
four kills, and Schmidt,
with nine assists. Hoskins
had 22 digs, while McClelland got two aces and
Riddle had one block.
The Lady Lions began
their second round of district play at home on
Tuesday, when they took
on the Lehman Lobos,
and will host the Hays
Lady Rebels for Teacher
Appreciation Night on
Friday, Oct. 11.
JV Lady Lions
The JV volleyball team
dropped two tough
games to Alamo Heights
and Clemens last week.
The team has shown improvement though the
first round of district. For
the both games Sydney
Johnson led all assists
with eight, Madison
Estrada had four kills,
Gloria Horton had two
aces, and Courtney Rot-
zler had 12 digs.
Lady Lion Cross
Country
The Lady Lions crosscountry team had a busy
schedule last week, with
a Tuesday, Oct. 1 home
Dual Meet against against
class 5A powerhouse
New Braunfels. Hosted at
Lockhart State Park, the
dual meet combined Varsity and Junior Varsity
teams into one race of 26
runners for the 1.9 mile
course. The Top three
Lady Lions packed on in
with Cristal Trejo (11:58)
finishing eighth, Gabby
Escobedo (12:07) finishing ninth, and Moria Salinas (12:10) finishing 10th.
Rounding out the top six
were Ness Rios (13:05),
Kaitlyn Adams (14:22),
and Sara Burrier (14:47)
finishing 13th, 17th, 19th
respectively.
Also competing and
each setting new season
best times were Sierra
Steel (16:26), Anna Espinoza (16:45) and Marrisa Tanguma (17:23) with
places of 22nd, 23rd, and
24th.
“We knew coming into
this meet that New
Braunfels was the team to
beat but we were going to
use this and get better,”
Coach Reuben Ortiz said.
“They’re ranked fourth in
the 5A class cross-country
standings but I honestly
think they have a chance
to win it all this year.
Their top eight went out
and hammered from the
start, some dropped back,
one dropped out but
most held on. This was
definitely a different style
race for our top ladies but
overall a great learning
experience and made us
better. Not to forget our
JV girls, this was a huge
change for them since
most were not used to
this quicker style race but
it actually drove them to
all new season best
times.”
Not missing a beat on
Saturday, Oct. 5, the Lady
Lions traveled to the
Arkansas Chili Pepper Invitational but due to
lighting and constant
weather delays the meet
was cancelled just before
the start of their scheduled race. The Chili Pepper is considered one of
most prestigious meets in
the nation in both the college and high school
ranks.
“It was cold, rainy, and
muddy the entire day
and the girls waited and
toughed it out hoping for
the opportunity to show
other teams who Lockhart is what Lockhart is
all about,” Ortiz said.
“We didn’t get the victory
on the course obviously
but this was a huge mental victory for us. Not one
person complained or
showed any signs of
weakness with all these
delays and Mother Nature making the day very
uncomfortable.
I just
kept hearing ‘I want to
run.’ In our minds this
was not a wasted trip because if they could get
through that day mentally and physically, we
have coached them right
and they are ready for our
district
cross-country
meet or any other chal-
lenges in life. So to everyone who made this trip
possible a huge appreciation goes out to them.”
Traveling members on
the Arkansas Trip for the
women were seniors
Nessa Rios, and Ana Espinoza, juniors Kaitlyn
Adams and Gabby Escobedo,
sophomores
Moira Salinas and Rachel
Dionne, and freshman
Cristal Trejo.
This coming Saturday
Oct. 12 the Lady Lions
will complete at the
Round
TopCarmine/Festival Hill
Cross-Country Meet.
Freshman Football
The freshman football
team was in action last
week against the Clemens
Buffaloes. They fought
hard but fell short, 48-14. The game was close
early on, but fumbles and
defensive miscues proved
too much for the Lions to
overcome. Cahil Murchison and Vincent Nevels
cored the only two touchdowns,
while
Belar
Sneed, Marcos Mireles,
Tyreese Purefoym and
Kyle Miller led the way
on defense. The Lions will be in action this week taking on
district rival Hays High
School.
Freshman Volleyball
The Lady Lion Freshman, hosted the Seguin
Matadors in their first
High School Homecoming game last week, and
despite playing solidly in
the first set, they eventually fell in three.
“The team played
solid set one, lots of communication and bodies
on the floor making sure
we took Set 1; and we
did,”
Coach
Shelly
Warner said.
In Set 2, the Lady
Lions held on to their determination but came
away with a narrow loss,
and though they gave it
everything they had in
Set 3, the Lady Lions fell
to Seguin.
“The Lady Lions are
playing hard this season
and are determined to
come out round two of
district and take these
games and own our
play!” Warner said.
They followed up their
Homecoming performance with a trip to Wimberley for the annual
Wimberley TexFest Tournament.
They opened the
morning with Bastrop,
and though they came
out on fire, they fell short.
In the second game, they
fought hard but couldn’t
put together the win.
The second round play
squared the Lady Lions
off against Bandera after
a slow start and a midmatch injury, the Lady
Lions fell once again,
placing them in their final
match of the day against
the San Marcos Lady Rattlers.
“They played with
heart and dedication during the entire tournament
and held their heads high
knowing that they gave it
their all,” Warner said.
Despite their strong
performance, unfortunately, the Lady Lions fell
to San Marcos, as well.

Seventh Grade
Volleyball
The Seventh Grade
Lady Lions “A” Team
fought a tough battle
this week on the road
against the Miller Lady
Diamondbacks, falling
in two games. Leading the way for
the team was Jollean
Vasquez, who played
setter for the first time
this season. Vasquez
had several key sets,
and served five points
for Lockhart. Abigail
Lopez also played a new
position, as the team’s
libero. She transitioned
well into the position,
and had several key
digs for the team against
a strong serving Miller
squad. The team will play at
home next Monday,
after two straight weeks
on the road.
had a solid showing and
they continue to improve each and every
week. Luke Hippensteel (fourth place),
Gabriel Franco (eighth
place),
Christopher
Jaimes (16th place),
Dylan
Schunneman
(19th
place),
and
Michael Gonzales (23rd
place) brought in the
first five runners for the
boys. Ezra
Flores,
Johnny Castenon, Caleb
Marez, Michael Gonzales and Colton Dees
rounded out the top
ten. Additional runners
included Andrew Torres, Tayten Buckowski,
Samuel Monrroy-Tovar,
Clayton Sughrue, Josef
Jandrok, Isaac Brooks,
Joshua Moya, Christian
Magallanas, Travis VandeVorde, Damien Herrera, Michael Bruch and
Reagan Smith. The Lady Lions team

showing behind the running of Jessica Jaramillo
(fourth), Charissma Magallanaz (ninth), Kaitlyn

(tenth),
Sierra

(15th),
and
Jolleen Vasquez (19th).
Jailee Matinez, Serenity

Kelsey Stevenson, Rilee

and
Aryssa

turnout of the year so
far for the LJHS cross
country teams and the
group continues to grow
in size. These runners
should be proud of their
accomplishments so far,
but even more for their
sportsmanship
and
work ethic. Many meet

week at LJHS. The “B”
Team played first, and
ended up winning 410. The game started off
with a bang as Cameron
Jackson returned the
opening kickoff 65 yards
for a touchdown. The
point after was good
when Javier Flores ran
the ball in bringing the
score to 7-0, Lions. When the Lions got
the ball back after a
four-and-out,
Flores
again found daylight
and ran 43 yards for a
touchdown. The point
after was again good
after a run by Simon
Strickland bringing the
score to 14-0, Lions. After another defensive shutdown led by
Isaac Rangel, the Lions
got the ball back. This
time, Deonte Terry ran
the ball up the left sideline 38 yards for another
Lion touchdown. The
point after was good
and the score was 21-0
at the end of the first
quarter. They game
continued in this fashion as the Lions dominated every aspect of
the game, and scored
three more touchdowns.
Reaching the end
zone for his first touchdown of the year was
Alex Sosa. Flores and
Jackson both scored
again. Defensively,
Robert Ruiz and Nathan
Stull also played very
well. Isaac Brooks
ended the game with an
interception.
Eighth Grade Volleyball
Monday night the
Lady Lion “A” volleyball team traveled to San
Marcos to play Miller in
their house. The girls
took it all the way to
three games, fighting

the first game 25-16, lost
the second 23-25, and

Eighth Grade Football
The Lockhart Lions
Eighth Grade “A” Football Team continued
their quest for a District
Championship and an
undefeated season as
they traveled to San
Marcos Miller last Tuesday evening.
The Diamondbacks
took the opening kickoff
and moved the ball
down the field thanks to
a long pass play that
gave Miller a first down
at the Lockhart 2-yard
line.
“They caught us in a
bad defensive alignment
and completed a short
pass that turned into a
long run,” Coach Glenn
Rotzler said.
The Lions’ defense
rose to the occasion and
kept the Diamondbacks
from scoring. Lockhart
took over possession on
downs and began to
march
methodically
down the field. The
Lions capped off their
first possession with a
40-yard touchdown run
by Austin Garcia. The
PAT by Julian Ramirez
was good, bringing the
score to 8-0 in favor of
the Lions.
The Lions would rally
to score two more touchdowns in the last 2:33 of
the first half. Garcia finished off the Lions’ second possession with an
8-yard touchdown run.
Ramirez’ kick was again
good, increasing the
Lions’ lead to 16-0.
The Lockhart Defense
then stalled the Diamondback’s next possession on three plays
and forced a punt. The
Lions took over possession with only 36 seconds remaining on the
clock, but put together a
five-play, 64-yard drive
that saw Gabriel Franco
take a backside handoff
on a misdirection play,
then race around the left
side untouched for a
touchdown as time expired in the half. The
PAT was wide right and
the score at the half was
Lockhart 22, Miller 0.
The
second
half
would start in much the
same fashion as the
Lions took the kickoff
and promptly marched
down the field, scoring
on Garcia’s 4-yard run
after running only 45
seconds off the clock. A
bad snap and/or hold
on the PAT kept the
score at 28-0 in favor of
the Lions.
This time, the Diamondbacks would drive
the field and complete
an 8-yard touchdown
pass with 7:06 remaining in the fourth quarter.
They completed another
pass in the end zone for
the conversion, making
the score 28-7.
The Lions got pinned
back at their own 20yard line on the ensuing
kickoff, but scored on
the very next play as
Micah Jackson raced
around the left side and
over a couple of Diamondback defenders, en
route to an 80-yard
touchdown run. The
PAT again sailed wide
right making the score
34-7.
On the Lions’ next
and final possession of
the game, it took the
Lions only three plays to
travel 70 yards to find
pay dirt. Most of the
yardage came on a long
run by Trival Joseph.
The final 7 yards came
on two runs by Skylar
Griffin, the latter being a
4-yard touchdown run.
The PAT sailed wide
right again, closing scoring at 40-7, Lockhart.
Logan Schnautz, Joe
John Colurciello, Edward Camacho, Oswaldo
Guerrero,
Makaleb Brown, Devin
Norman, Nick Cruz and
Cameron Salas did the
work in the trenches,
opening holes for the
backs and allowing the
Lions’ offense to score a
touchdown on every
possession.
With the win, the
Lions increased their
season record to 3-0 as
they prepared to host
Seguin Barnes on Tuesday.

the valley beyond, Vulcan pays tribute to the

for more than a century,
giving it the moniker of

of various buildings,
most about three stories
high. At a stop at the
Philadelphia Museum of
Arts, many sculptures
were displayed in the
park, including famous
people
like
George
Washington and Joan of
Arc, as well as the fictional Rocky Balboa.
After the bus tour, passengers were given time
to explore on foot the
places they considered
most important. My time
was spent at the site of
the Liberty Bell and the
cemetery where several
of our early patriots
were buried. Among
those notables was Benjamin Franklin. Many
tossed a penny on his
grave in remembrance of
his famous saying, “A
penny saved is a penny
earned.” I also visited
the home of Betsy Ross
of flag fame. The day
was very hot and humid,
and most travelers were
glad to board the bus for
the journey back to The
Resorts for the night.
The next morning, the
bus loaded up for the return trip. The Inner Harbor at Baltimore, Md.,
was the day’s destination. Several popular
restaurants gave the
travelers a choice of dining possibilities. One of
those
was
Bubba
Gump’s with its shrimp,
crab, etc. Members of the
group enjoyed strolling
the promenade near the
water. The SS Constellation, the last sailing ship
built by the United
States, was docked in the
harbor. It is the last Civil
War vessel afloat. Watertaxis were available for
those who wanted to see
more. One destination
was Fort McHenry of
Star Spangled Banner
fame. An afternoon
thunder storm with a
cooling shower sent people scrambling for the
shelter in the bus.
The tour bus continued on toward home,
stopping for the night in
Roanoke, Va. Traveling
the following morning to
Knoxville, Tenn., the
group visited a marvelous museum that
pointed out the history
and culture of East Tennessee. Cleveland, Tenn.,
was the destination for
the night.
The next day, the bus
made its last stop for
sightseeing at the 56-foot
cast iron statue of Vulcan, which, according to
Wikipedia, is the largest
cast iron statue in the
world, weighing in at

After the day in Manhattan, the bus headed
south to Atlantic City,
New Jersey, for three
nights at The Resorts
Hotel. The first day there
was spent in enjoying
the surroundings. Monopoly fans marveled at
the street names that appear in the ever-popular
game that is more than
100 years old. Many of
the group strolled on the
Boardwalk and explored
the unique shops along
the way. My personal
pleasure was in renting a
rolling chair which was
pushed by a jolly man
who indulged me by
showing me the best
place to buy the famous
Atlantic City salt water
taffy and even a funnel
cake. Some tried their
luck at the machines inside the casino.
The following day, the
group
traveled
to
Philadelphia, Pa. There a
step-on guide pointed
many of the historical attractions to be found
there as the bus traversed the streets of the
city. Many beautiful murals grace the brick walls

Delhi VFD seeks volunteers, support for upcoming events
Delhi is a little known
community on the eastern side of Caldwell
County; it is a quiet rural
country area with rolling
hills and beautiful landscapes. The Delhi Volunteer Fire Department was
established in 2004 and
serves a 45 square mile
area with more than 600
residents.
The Delhi VFD station
is located on State Hwy
304 and during hurricane
season serves as a link to
Interstate 10 as a major
evacuation route. Delhi
VFD is routinely called
upon to assist the neighboring counties of Bas-
trop and Gonzales.
The Delhi VFD has recently become a First Responder Organization,
responding to and assisting in medical emergencies with the Luling and
Lockhart EMS. The first
responders and firefighters of Delhi VFD participate in firefighter safety
classes and continuing
education on a regular
basis.
The community of
Delhi made the record
books
of
Caldwell
County when in 2011
tragedy struck the community with the largest
wildfire in Caldwell
County history. Firefighters of Caldwell
County,
Gonzales
County and Texas Forest
Service personnel fought
that fire side by side for
an entire week in September 2011. The men
and
women
who
proudly serve Caldwell
County fire departments
are all volunteers that
need continued support.
On Oct. 26, 2013 Delhi
VFD will hold its annual
Gun Raffle and Chili

presentation from the
Gunslingers’ Volunteers.

base toll rates will be
charged to vehicles using a

my recent Hawaii trip
that
Make-A-Wish
granted for me this summer. My favorite thing to
do in the summer is
swim! What I love most
about my sister and
brother is that they are
super helpful when I
need help with something! The nicest thing I
ever did for someone was
buy a present for each of
my family members with
my own money when we
were in Hawaii... it is
truly better to give than to
receive! I like being a kid
because I still get to live
with my parents. One
word to describe me
would be “determined,”
or so my mom says!
The advice I would
give my parents would be
to “have no fear.” The
best thing God has done
for me is to bless me with
great parents and a Christian family. If I could be
any animal I would be a
Martindale Student of

together on the weekends.
Another favorite of
mine is being on electronics because I am social
and like to stay connected! I like to play

together with my friends.
My ideal allowance

My favorite memory is my debit card each week.
Martindale Market
The second Martindale
Market on Main Street in
Martindale was a smashing success. There were
more vendors than last
time, including fresh
sprouts, more fruits and
vegetables, sweet breads,
and freshly roasted coffee; music and face painting; and live music from a
local artist “Bear.” Alex
Sandoval, a local middle
school student, was announced as the winner of
the logo contest for the
Market. The next Market
will be just after Halloween on Nov. 1. There
will be apple cider and
MM t-shirts for sale, live
music and dancing in the
streets, healthy meal
ideas, more face painting,
and a kids’ puppet show.
Come shop for your produce for the weekend and
bring your friends for a
good time!
Rather than just looking
at what’s on the outside, I
think what makes another person good-looking is there personality
and God shining through
them.
I have attended Hope
Christian Academy since
it first opened, what I
love best about my school
is my teachers and that
the Godly perspective
and curriculum they
teach from. Ten years
from now I hope to be in
college! I have my own
blog, Sunny Girl’s Blog:

Local Happenings
Eighty- four members
of the San Marcos High
School class of 1963 and
their guests, their teachers and administrators
met at the Ohlendorf
River Camp between
Martindale and Staples
on Saturday, Oct. 5, to celebrate the classes’ 50 year
reunion from high school.
The class had celebrated
their graduation in May
of 1963 with an all-night
party at the river camp
and enjoyed coming back
50 years later to celebrate.
All enjoyed visiting with
classmates and friends of
their class and remembering many good times together.
David, Harper and
Haddie Harrison, Laura,
James, Harry Mayes, and

Loraine Harrison Sunday
afternoon, rode the golf
cart, watched football and
grilled hamburgers. What
a great way to enjoy this
beautiful weather!

Are mammograms enough?
Hereditary Breast Cancer: A Personal Perspective on the BRCA Gene Mutation
“You have breast cancer.”
Nothing prepares you to
hear those words and yet, on
February 28, 2013, I listened
with disbelief as my surgeon
spoke four small words that
would change my life forever. Unfortunately, the hard
news didn’t stop with those
BY MARY KYLE
words. Not only did I have
SPECIAL
TO THE
cancer, but I had a very rare
POST-REGISTER
– and aggressive – form of
breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, which was
almost always hereditary.
Despite multiple mammograms, ultrasounds and
biopsies, until the moment I heard those four words,
the concept that I might actually have breast cancer
was inconceivable. I simply couldn’t believe or accept
that the lump would be anything other than benign.
Eighty percent of all breast biopsies are negative for
cancer so the odds were in my favor. I wasn’t worried.
To say the diagnosis was shocking would be an understatement – it was devastating. But, the diagnosis
that I had triple negative breast cancer, a hereditary
form of breast cancer was frankly confusing. After all,
my mother and her sisters didn’t have breast cancer.
Neither of my grandmothers had breast cancer. As far
as I knew, there was no history of breast cancer in my
family so how could I possibly have such a “bad”
form of hereditary breast cancer?
My immediate concern after the initial diagnosis
was what it meant for the other women in my family
– my sister, my daughter, my granddaughters and my
nieces. Triple negative breast cancer generally has a
very poor prognosis and I was terrified for the rest of
the “girls” in the family. Were they at risk? Would they
also develop breast cancer? More importantly, where
had this come from and how could we stop it? I love
each of these women and it became a mission to determine how to protect them from becoming a Pink
Ribbon Sister.
With no apparent genetic history of familial breast
cancer, my doctors and I embarked on a genetic foren- curs, this natural protection is lost resulting in a

lessen the risk of reoccurrence in the “bad” breast but
prevent a second cancer from forming in the good
breast. I’m also planning to have my ovaries removed
to avoid the possibility of developing ovarian cancer in
the future. Knowing my BRCA status made these decisions easy.
For a person who is currently cancer free, knowing
that you are BRCA1 or BRCA2 positive can help you
develop a lifelong plan to manage and lessen your risk
of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Physicians currently have numerous tools available to manage such
risks including enhanced screening, chemoprevention,
and prophylactic surgery.
Enhanced screening: It’s generally recommended
that women who are BRCA1 or BRCA2 positive undergo more frequent screenings for breast and ovarian
cancer and that screenings begin at an earlier age than
is recommended for women in the general population.
The National Cancer Institute recommends mammograms and screenings in BRCA1/BRCA2 positive
women begin as early as age 25. Other screenings,
such as a breast MRI, may be recommended as well.
There are no effective screenings for early detection of
ovarian cancer but regular exams, blood tests and
transvaginal ultrasounds may be recommended. Since
there are other cancers associated with the BRCA gene
mutations, your physician may recommend regular
screenings for those cancers as well.

Chemoprevention: Chemoprevention is a term applied to the use of certain agents used to prevent a cancer recurrence or to reduce the risk of developing a
primary cancer. Chemoprevention may include substances such as vitamins as well as approved chemoprevention drugs. Currently, there are two
chemoprevention drugs approved by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention of
breast cancer: Tamoxifen and Raloxifene. Tamoxifen
may reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in
BRCA1/BRCA2 positive women. There is no separate
research on the effectiveness of Raloxifene in reducing
the risk of breast cancer in BRCA positive women.
Birth control pills may lessen the risk of developing
ovarian cancer.
Prophylactic surgery: Angelina Jolie recently made
headline news when she revealed that she underwent
a prophylactic, or preventative, mastectomy to reduce
her risk of developing breast cancer. Angelina Jolie lost
her mother to ovarian cancer and recently lost an aunt
to breast cancer. Jolie is also BRCA1 positive. Surgical
removal of the breast and ovaries significantly reduces
the overall risk of breast and ovarian cancer in women.
There is currently no evidence on the effectiveness of
prophylactic mastectomy in preventing male breast
cancer in BRCA positive men.
As I write this article, my family is still processing
what the BRCA1 gene mutation diagnosis means to

them. One sibling has already tested positive for the
BRCA1 gene mutation and is evaluating options to
lessen the risk of developing BRCA related cancers.
Other siblings are waiting on their test results. The diagnosis of hereditary breast cancer didn’t just happen
to me – it happened to my whole family. Each of my
siblings has a 50 percent chance of carrying the BRCA1
gene mutation as does my daughter. We were caught
with our genetic pants down. We thought we knew
our family history only to find a genetic skeleton hidden in the closet.
Benjamin Franklin is credited as saying “An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” In the case of
hereditary breast cancer, this is certainly more than
true. The “cure” has been a long, hard fought journey.
I’ve had 22 weeks of chemo and twice nearly died
when chemo took my white blood count to zero leaving me unable to fight any infection. Those were scary
hospital stays. I just underwent a double-mastectomy
and reconstruction surgery and still have at least more
surgery ahead to complete reconstruction as well as
more surgery to remove the remaining ovary. In all
likelihood, I’ll also face 6-8 weeks of daily radiation.
I’m still waiting on the decision from my doctor on
whether or not radiation is required.
Despite that, I’ve been lucky – and blest. Unlike
many hereditary breast cancers, we caught it early before it spread. The last pathology report indicates no
evidence of disease in the sentinel node or lymph
glands and no cancer cells present in the breast tissue
removed during the mastectomy. This is truly wonderful, miraculous news. Not everyone is so fortunate
and blest. If you’re at risk for hereditary breast and
ovarian cancer, discuss your concerns with your
physician or a genetic counselor to determine if genetic testing is right for you. The knowledge gained
by knowing your BRCA status may save more than
one life.

Beyond the Controversy of Screening
Psychotherapist shares exercises for maintaining emotionally while coping with diagnosis
Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been one of
the most successful campaigns to raise public
awareness in recent history. Unfortunately, in
terms of successfully reducing breast-cancer mortality, the results have been mixed, which has
caused fierce debate among doctors, researchers,
non-profit groups and patients.
“Embedded in the message driving the campaign every October includes instruction to women
to strongly consider getting screened for breast
cancer, which is often asymptomatic during the
early stages, in the hopes of finding cancer before
it metastasizes,” says cancer psychotherapist Dr.
Niki Barr, author of “Emotional Wellness, The
Other Half of Treating Cancer,” (canceremotionalwellbeing.com). Debate over the efficacy of screenings has arisen
as new studies reveal possible shortfalls: self-examinations haven’t been proven effective; younger
women experience false positives due to denser
breast tissue, as well as missed positives, despite
clinical examinations; and recently published studies such as The New England Journal of Medicine’s
findings on three decades of screening have been
mixed, Dr. Barr says.
The latter found that screenings did reduce latestage cancer rates, to a small extent, but mammograms also drastically increased over-diagnosis

and unnecessary treatment, including surgeries, toxic drugs and an
incalculable amount of
stress and suffering, she
says.
“I think each woman
needs to consider screenings on an individual
basis. Family history, age
and other risk factors
should be considered in
their decision,” Dr. Barr
says. “It’s equally important to remember that,
should you or a loved
one be diagnosed with
breast cancer, you should
care for your emotional
well-being as much as
you take measures to restore physical well-being.”
While doctors, nurses and medical staff tend to
