The sights and sounds of yesteryear will be heard this weekend as the sixth annual Texas State Championship High School Rodeo Founders Invitational will take place at the William and Alton Allen Ex-position Center in Hallettsville.
The origin for holding a high school rodeo came from an idea of prominent Hallettsville citizens, Claude Mullins, the
local school superintendent; Alton Allen, a local attorney; and Leon Kahanek, Sr., a local pharmacist.
With all also being ranchers and having the interest in the sport of rodeo, the three com-bined together to organized the first High School Rodeo.
In addition to the young con-testants having the opportunity to compete in rodeo events, another important part of the rodeo’s history resulted when
Alton Allen invented the “Hal-lettsville Barrier”.
The calf-roping barrier in-volves a spring-loaded device attached to the chute and releases as the calf comes out of chute, thus giving the calf a head start over the contestant and their horse.
It is at the time of the bar-rier’s release that the timing of the rider has to get their horse moving at the right moment.

Hallettsville City Administrator Grace Ward will meet with officials from both local schools Thursday to see what they are willing to do concerning The Hardball Field.
The City Council mulled over the matter at its regular monthly meeting Monday evening.
The Economic Development Corporation (EDU) has offered up $173,000 for replacement of the turf at the baseball which drew the ire of some council members.
The EDC would like to have some type of contract with the schools for use of the field.
The general consensus of the council should they would not be intresed in offering a long term lease or to selling th baseball field to either school.
“The city cannot continue to maintain the artifi-cial turf with no ownership from the schools,” Ward said. “The city gets nothing financially unless a playoff game is hosted.”
The council could possibly take action on the matter at the Oct. 19 meeting.

Joan Riske Homecoming Queen
Miss Joan Riske was crowned HHS Homecoming Queen at half-time of the Brahma-Giddings here Friday night.
She was crowned by 1969 Home-coming Queen, Becky Roth. Miss Riske was escorted by Brahma quarterback Pat Bollom.
Fires• The local firemen answered
a call after 10 o’clock Thursday morning.
The alarm brought them to the west side of town where electrical wires shorted out, the insulation began to burn and some dropped to the ground.
The location was just in front of the Mrs. Henry Ehler Sr. home.
The strong wind caused the par-tially bare wires to overlap and the fire resulted.
The city utility crew made nec-essary repairs.
• Firemen extinguished a fire on the West side of town after a car caught fire at the Bucek Dairy Mart at 8:45 Friday night.
• The HVFD replied to call at the Mr. and Mrs. Laddie Konvicka home on the west end Saturday at 3:15 p.m.
Butter melting in an aluminum pot on the cooking range somehow caught fire and spread to a cloth and then the kitchen wall. Smoke was heavy but damage was light.
• The rural alarm was sounded Sunday afternoon.
Two rural trucks sped to the Rudolph Svetlik home eight miles north of town on the Schulenburg Highway where fire had spread over 30 acres of grass and brush land.
The firemen brought the fire under control shortly after arriving at the scene.
Mr. Svetlik said he did not know how the fire started but did recall several dove hunters in the area shortly before the alarm was turned in at 1:40 p.m.

Indians Down TSD
The Sacred Heart Indians, dis-playing their best defensive show-
ing of the season, stampeded over the Texas School for the Deaf Rangers in Austin Friday night. The score was 30-12.
The Indians played a bigger op-ponent showed a determined effort to win and their effort was great.
Sacred Heart scored a touch-down in each quarter.
The first Indian TD was scored by Pat Henke after the Indians blocked a Ranger punt. Ronnie Rehm made the second TD when he returned a kickoff 88 yards. Andrew Kutac and Mike Hemmi each scored a touchdown to close out the scoring.
Sacred Heart led in first downs 14-8.
Kutac led the Indians in rushing with 130 yards.
Playing outstanding defense were James Grahmann, Henry Kal-lus, Louis Rother, Kutac and Rehm.
The win gives the Indians a 2-2 record.
Brahmas Fight Gamely But loseto Giddings
The HHS Brahmas staged a great battle but were finally nosed out by the powerful Giddings Buffaloes in the opening District 25-AA game for the two teams. The game was played in Hallettsville in ideal weather before a capacity crowd.
Fumbles at vital times ended up costing the Brahmas. The outcome was not actually decided until the fi-nal minutes of the grueling contest.
The Brahmas were somewhat handicapped without the servic-es of halfback Terrell Johnson, who suffered an injury in practice Wednesday.
After a scoreless first quarter, Giddings went 74 yards for a six-pointer and led 7-0 at the half.
The Brahmas came back strong in the third period to march 66 yards for the lone score. The two-point conversion attempt failed and the score stayed 7-6.
Giddings scored late in the fourth period after recovering a fumble at the Brahma 39 to make the final 14-6.
The Brahmas were on the Gid-dings 20-yd. line when time ran out.

This has indeed been an unusual year. With all of the “crazy” happening on this planet, one thing has stayed constant and that is that the kids who Turtle Wing provide services for and the families and educators they support need them more than ever. After much prayer and investigation, Turtle Wing has decided to have their 2020 Monster Dash. Their Safety Plan was approved, with the main difference being that they will not have a Kid Zone. Additionally, they are not charging for any of the activities. This is meant to be a fun, family event and everyone is welcome! The 8th Annual Monster Dash will be held on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 5-7 p.m
The Monster Dash was started in memory of Jack Hooper who LOVED Halloween and looked forward to dressing up each and every year. His love for this fun holiday is what inspired volunteers to begin this evening of not only remembering Jack and his fun loving spirit, but also providing an opportunity for our community to get together and enjoy all that our small towns have to offer. The highlight of the evening will again be the traditional Jack Hooper Costume Contest and of course the Monster “Dash” which will spotlight who the fastest kid or big kid on the block is. Addi-tionally, attendees will enjoy Boo-Around-the-Block, a Halloween themed Bake-Off, a silent auction, and of course food and music. The evening will be concluded with a spooky performance by the On Pointe dancers.
For the first time, the Monster Dash will be held at Jack and Mary’s in Schulenburg (610 Lyons Avenue, Schulenburg) and will overflow onto Anderson Street to the south. Families from across the Turtle Wing service area, which includes Fayette, Colorado and Lavaca counties, are invited to participate. Halloween Themed Bake-Off entries will be accepted at 4 p.m.. Businesses, organizations and individuals may begin setting up for Boo Around the Block at 4:30. This is also when the Judges will begin the tasty job in the Bake-Off Contest, selecting Best of Show, Tastiest and Most Creative. Those interested in entering the Jack Hooper Halloween Costume Contest must check in between 5-6 p.m.
There will be numerous categories such as Best Homemade, Best Group, Best Duo, Scariest, Funniest/Silliest, Cutest and Best 5-minute Throw Together. At 6 p.m. the Monster Dash will begin, which is a 50-yard sprint. The On Pointe dancers will perform at 6:30 p.m., followed by the announcement of all of the winners. Turtle Wing Foundation mission is to help children with learning challenges in rural areas achieve their full potential.
Program participants all have academic, social-emotional, behavioral and/or developmental needs. For more information on the Monster Dash please contact event chair, Kari Tumis, at (361) 772-6998 or kari@turtlewing

Every year, National 4-H Week sees millions of youth, parents, vol-unteers and alumni come together to celebrate the many positive youth development opportunities offered by 4-H. The theme for this year’s National 4-H Week, Oppor-tunity4All, is a campaign that was created by National 4-H Council to rally support for Cooperative Ex-tension’s 4-H program and identify solutions to eliminate the opportu-nity gap that affects 55 million kids across America.
4-H believes that young people, in partnership with adults, can play a key role in creating a more promising and equitable future for youth, families and communi-ties across the country. In 4-H, we believe every child should have an equal opportunity to succeed. We believe every child should have the skills they need to make a differ-ence in the world.
Lavaca County 4-H will observe National 4-H Week this year by highlighting some of the inspira-tional 4-H youth in our community who are working tirelessly to sup-port each other and their commu-nities.
“We believe youth perspectives are so important and a solution to eliminating the opportunity gap, because young people come with new ideas and new ways of see-ing the world,” explains Jennifer Sirangelo, President and CEO of National 4-H Council. By encourag-ing diverse voices and innovative actions, 4-H believes that solutions can be found to address the educa-tional, economic and health issues that have created the opportunity gap.
Lavaca County 4-H members will be out in their communities doing kind deeds and seeking opportuni-ties to make a difference in their neighborhoods. Leadership and community service are an impor-tant part of all 4-H projects. Luke Bludau, Lavaca County 4-H Council President, stated “4-H has taught me speaking skills. This is a life skill that I will use forever. I am no longer afraid to talk to adults. I en-joy interviews and public speaking contests are exciting. 4-H has also taught me to serve my community and give to others. I wish every child had the opportunity to be in 4-H!”
In Lavaca County, more than
one in ten youth have enrolled as members in 4-H. 4-H, is the na-tion’s largest youth development and empowerment organization. 4-H cultivates confident kids who tackle the issues that matter most in their communities right now. In the United States, 4-H programs empower six million young people through the 110 land-grant univer-sities and Cooperative Extension in more than 3,000 local offices serving every county and parish in the country. Outside the United States, independent, country-led 4-H organizations empower one million young people in more than 50 countries.
National 4-H Council is the pri-vate sector, non-profit partner of the Cooperative Extension System and 4-H National Headquarters located at the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Learn more about 4-H at www.4-H.org, find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/4-H and www.face-book.com/LavacaCounty4-H and also on Twitter at https://twitter.com/4H.

This week of spooky sea-son stories will take you on a road trip to six haunted hotels around Texas.
Starting in Galveston, Hotel Galvez looks like any other grand hotel on the outside, but some say the hundred-year-old hotel will send chills down your spine with its haunted past. The rumors that surround the hotel say it is haunted by a ghostly woman who is said to have jumped off an armoire and strangled herself to death in room 505. Guests can stay in the room, but some never make it through the night before requesting a room change.
Next stop on the road trip is Jefferson Hotel in Jefferson. Jefferson is said to be one of the most haunted small towns in Texas. However, the ho-tel is the hotbed of the city’s paranormal activity. Guests have experienced whispers from nowhere, knocks on walls and head-boards, the smell of cigar smoke, children laughing and faucets turning on water of their own accord. The most haunted rooms are said to be rooms 5, 19, 20, 21, 23 and 24.
Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells is next up. The previ-ously abandoned building is said to be haunted by guests who never left and some spirits of those who fell to their death while exploring the abandoned building. Before being closed in 1972, the hotel, dubbed a “top tier health spa destination”, was vis-ited by Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Glenn Miller and former president Lyndon B. Johnson before his presi-dency began. The hotel is planned to open again in
late 2022 after renovations.The next stop, in El
Paso, is De Soto Hotel. The abandoned building has stood for over 100 years in downtown El Paso. Some people say they have seen a shadow in one of the ho-tel’s hallways that can only be seen by video, accom-panied by an eerie voice. People say it is a playful spirit named Sara. How-ever, the basement is said to be home to “something truly demonic”. Local tales speak of a history of satan-ic worship occurring in the basement. Those who have been to the basement have reported feeling watched and unwelcome and being attacked with scratches, bites, pinches and hits by unknown entities.
Next up on the road trip is the Driskill Hotel in Austin. Located in the heart of downtown Austin, the hotel is best known for its rich history and proximity to Sixth Street. The 130-year-old building is rumored to be haunted by ghosts roaming the hall-ways and rooms. Three of these ghosts are a young girl, a jilted bride and the original owner and cattle baron Jesse Driskill.
The last stop is Magno-lia Hotel in Seguin. It was built in 1840 as a two-room log cabin that transformed into Seguin’s “largest and most elegant hotel” during the 20th century. The inn is now known as “the most haunted hotel in Texas” and the owners, Erin and Jim Ghedi, claim that there are 13 ghosts haunting the building. The hotel has been featured in numerous ghost hunting programs, including PBS’ “Strange Towns” and The Discovery Channel’s “When Ghosts Attack”.
Next week in my spooky season series, I will tell you about two haunted places that saw battles during war and one place where an infamous face still lingers.

The North American Securities Administra-tors Association (NASAA) released its annual enforcement report on Wednesday, Sept. 23, which shows increasing numbers of investiga-tions and enforcement actions taken by state securities regulators to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the nation’s financial markets.
In its 2020 Enforcement Report on 2019 Data, which includes responses from 51 jurisdictions throughout the United States, NASAA reported that state securities regulators conducted 6,525 investigations in 2019, up 23 percent from the year before, and took 2,755 enforcement actions, up 33 percent from 2018.
These actions led to $634 million in restitu-tion ordered returned to investors, fines of $80 million and criminal relief of 956 years, includ-ing incarceration and probation.
The report also demonstrates the growing effectiveness of state legislation or rules based on vulnerable victim protection statutes.
The 85th Texas Legislature adopted the law, providing a valuable tool for the Texas State Securities Board to defend Texas’ vulnerable investors and legitimate businesses. A report filed with the agency pursuant to the law led to the first state action against metals.com, and the Texas Attorney General and the Texas State Securities Board recently joined the Commodity Future Trading Commission and 29 other states in filing a complaint against the firm and others accused of defrauding elderly people across the United States.
Organized in 1919, the NASAA is the oldest international organization devoted to investor protection. NASAA is a voluntary association whose membership consists of 67 state, pro-vincial, and territorial securities administra-tors in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada and Mexico.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2020CATTLE ON HAND: 2151 WEEK AGO: 1263
There were 219 cows and 37 bulls. The packer market was again a little weaker. A good run of cows and bulls saw the top price off $3/cwt on cows and $1/cwt on bulls. All this is in line with the seasonal break in the packer market.The calf market was essentially a steady market in line with last week’s rise in prices. Some of the lighter weights were still showing as much as $10-$13/cwt increase in tops on top of last week’s big jump. Comment was there are just not many light cattle coming to market.All other heavier classes were unchanged. Just was a good solid market across the board.This market report is available on Facebook as well as on the web at www.cuerols.com.PACKER BULLS: all weights: 69-86.

The Texas Czech Heritage and Cul-tural Center in La Grange will host the annual Heritage Festival and Muziky on Oct. 17. The Fest will be altered to a one-day event for 2020 only.
The Fest kicks off at 10 a.m. with heri-tage and culture in the Czech Village, an early 1900s recreated village complete with residential houses, barns, and stores. Demonstrations of early life for the im-migrants will take place throughout the grounds all day, including working in the saw mill, the operation of the Czech News-paper Museum press and engine, black-smithing, corn shelling and grinding, hay pressing, and more. Plenty of food and cold beverages will be available as well.
An antique farm equipment show sponsored by the South Texas Wheel Spinners & Crank Twisters Club and an antique/classic car show, sponsored by H&H Automotive and by Lad Tro-jacek - Farmers Insurance, will spread throughout the village. Visit the country store and Gift Shop for some good buys. The Janak Barn and Texas Czech Agri-cultural Museum displays farm practices and implements from the late 1800s up to 1940. Children activities will also be available to keep those youngsters oc-cupied. SPJST will host a fish pond and an Ax Throwing event and the Leo’s Club will have a train ride.
The Czech Village houses two music museums. The Czech Music Museum of Texas, located in the Kalich House, fea-tures four genres of Czech music – classi-cal, folk, polka, and liturgical. The Polka Lover’s Club of Texas Museum, located in the Hoelsher House and Huebner Center, features a display of Texas polka bands,
as well as memorabilia and photos of the Polka Lover’s Club of America, Texas Chapter.
Inside the TCHCC Main Center, stop by the Czech Gift Shop to browse the brand-new stock of authentic Czech items, T-shirts, caps, crystal, periodicals, music CDs, and new Christmas decora-tions for 2020. Enjoy the current exhibits in the Main Center Museum: A Festival of Music exhibit and other rotational ex-hibits. Have you always wondered about your Czech roots? The spacious Melnar Library, the largest Czech genealogy library in the US, will offer help with genealogy and other research.
In the evening, kick back in your favor-ite lawn chair for the SPJST Octoberfest on the Deck with music by the Dujka Brothers from 6 - 9:30 p.m. The music will be live and the public is welcomed to attend. They will also broadcast LIVE on Facebook on the TCHCC Facebook page! Mark and John Dujka have been making music together for over 30 years and have several acknowledgements, including being inducted into the Polka Hall of Fame at the KC Hall in Hallettsville, and receiving a Favorite Song Award from the International Polka Association for their recording of Church Picnic Polka. The song is featured on their latest CD, Let’s Have a Party, which celebrates the duo’s 30th anniversary. The HEB Fireworks Finale will close out the Fest at 9:30 p.m. (weather pending).
Plenty to do for the entire family at the Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Cen-ter in La Grange. If you’re not kin when you get here, you will be when you leave!

Many have called this hurricane season record-breaking already. So, how many records has it broken so far?
There were 28 named storms in 2005. As of Sun-day, Oct. 4, there have been 24 this year. But at this point in the season in 2005, there were 18, according to the National Hurricane Center.
This year, Tropical storm Edouord became the earliest fifth named storm of a season and since then every named storm following has been the earliest at that point, ac-cording to Colorado State University hurricane re-searcher Phil Klotzbach. So, while the season does not have a record on total activity yet, it is on its way to doing so if the pace continues.
The 2020 season has also tied a record in an-other measure of activity: United States landfalls.
Klotzbach said there have been nine United States landfalls by named storms this year, tying the record set in 1916.
So what records are probably safe from this season? The most hurri-cane-strength storms in a season was 15 in 2005, and the most major hurricanes, storms category three or stronger, was 8 in 1950. This season has had eight hurricane-strength storms and two major hurricanes, one of those being Teddy.
This season is still ongo-ing, but October landfall-ing hurricanes in Texas have been far and few be-tween in past years. There have been three recorded October hurricane hits in Texas: Jerry in 1989, Hur-ricane 10 in 1949 and an
unnamed storm in 1912.While there are no im-
mediate threats currently, there is still some activity in the tropics that are be-ing monitored. Tropical Storm Gamma is mov-ing toward the Yucatan Peninsula sending rain to Mexico. Another tropical cyclone, number 26, has a high chance of develop-ment in the next few days in the southern Caribbean.
With two months left in Atlantic hurricane season, we do not want to let our guard down. It is always a good idea to be prepared. Make sure you have a hurricane kit ready and review your family plan to make sure you are ready for anything coming our way.

NOTE: Ballot will vary depending on where you live.
WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO SEEKTHIS OFFICE, AND WHY NOW?
This is my family’s ancestral home. We still live on the ranch that’s been in our family since 1831. Because of that, I want to make a positive difference for all those who live here and for future generations of our families. I have been in a position of service to people for most of my adult life as a peace officer, public school teacher, mentor, ordained church elder and business owner/employer. One of the aspects of public service I truly enjoy is the ability to make a positive difference in the lives of others. I feel that my whole life and the experiences in it have led me to this point. After seeking the position when former Judge Tramer Woytek resigned, I won the Republican nomination of the Republican executive committee by a vote of 9-7. What major party platform issues do you believe will impact how you do your job as Lavaca County Judge? As a conservative Republican I am a staunch defender of the U.S. Constitution. I believe in smaller govern-ment. I am pro-business and will always seek to pro-mote Lavaca County owned and operated businesses. I am for taxpayers keeping more of their income in their own pockets by being fiscally conservative in all our county business dealings. I believe in the rule of law and the protection of individual rights and prop-erty. I will remain focused on the public safety of our county and working with the Sheriff, EMS Director and Fire Departments to ensure that we always have the best trained, best equipped and best paid personnel possible serving our county’s needs. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ACROSS TEXAS TOOK A HUGE HIT IN 2020 WITH THE FALL OF OIL AND GAS VALUATIONS,
THE WORST OF WHICH WON’T LIKELY BE REALIZED UNTIL NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET CYCLE. AS LAVACA
COUNTY’S LEAD BUDGET PLANNER, HOW WOULD YOU INTEND TO DEAL WITH THE ANTICIPATED SHORTFALLS?
The County Judge is the CFO of the county, and the budget will be one of my primary responsibilities. Because of careful planning and spending by former Judge Woytek, as of March 2020, the county enjoys a surplus budget of nearly $13 million. This is allocated as emergency funds. It is enough to run this county’s operations for almost 12 months without collecting any taxes. The Texas Association of Counties recom-mends only 3-6 months in reserve. The county calls this a “rainy day” fund. Well, it is raining. This year our taxes went up again. Given our situation, I really don’t think that it is a good move to cause even more financial hardships to so many who are currently struggling, especially when we have the means to ease some of that liability.
OUR CURRENT COUNTY ADMINISTRATION HAS ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THE FACT THAT SALARIES
OF EMPLOYEES AND ELECTED COUNTY OFFICIALS HAVE NOT KEPT UP WITH THE TIMES. HOW MIGHT THAT ISSUE BE ADDRESSED, ESPECIALLY WHEN
DEALING WITH BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS?The salaries of all our county employees is an issue, to be sure. However, I am particularly concerned with the salaries of our public safety personnel. Our law enforcement personnel are terribly underpaid. We are blessed to have the people that we do working on our behalf. They save lives and protect our property, and they deserve a living wage. I want to bring the salaries of these fine people into the 21st century. As I mentioned before, we currently have a budget surplus. NEITHER OF YOU ARE ATTORNEYS. PART OF YOUR DUTIES
AS COUNTY JUDGE COMES IN DEALING WITH LEGAL MATTERS, SUCH AS SETTING BONDS FOR THOSE INCAR-CERATED, PROBATE ISSUES, AND OFFERING RULINGS
IN BOTH CRIMINAL AND CIVIL CASES. WHAT QUALIFIES YOU TO HANDLE THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF THIS JOB?
In addition to having a criminal justice degree, I taught college level criminal justice courses to AP high school students. I have many former students who have chosen to enter a career in law enforcement, including those who joined the FBI, Border Patrol, DPS and many county and municipal agencies. Approximately 70% of the duties of the County Judge are judicial in nature. Because my background is strong in the area of law enforcement and civil process, I have actual experi-ence in the application of law on the enforcement side as well as civil process experience. I am familiar with and have experience with all types of warrants, writs, citations, mental health issues and probate issues that will come before me as your County Judge.
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE BEST QUALIFIES YOU TO HOLD THE OFFICE OF LAVACA COUNTY JUDGE?
I believe that the combination of my education, experi-ence and background make me uniquely qualified to be your County Judge. To my knowledge, I am the only candidate with actual working experience in business as an administrator, business owner/employer and in criminal justice as an instructor, educator and Master Peace Officer. I can begin performing the duties of the office from day one. I am about open and honest representation. I am your Republican candidate and I am proud to have that party affiliation attached to all my advertising and promotional literature.
WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO SEEKTHIS OFFICE, AND WHY NOW?
Senator Teddy Kennedy made a comment after the assassination of his brother that came to mind when I decided to run for this office. “... be remembered as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it …” I saw the wrong. and I want to make it right. That can only be done by being in the seat of the County Judge.
WHAT MAJOR PARTY PLATFORM ISSUES DO YOU BELIEVE WILL IMPACT HOW YOU DO YOUR JOB AS LAVACA COUNTY JUDGE?
When Lavaca citizens go to vote we will be choosing more than a candidate. Character, morals and ethics is also on the ballot. The character of our democracy, our society, is on the ballot. We have a choice. Yes, we have challenges—the worst public health crisis in a century, worst economy downturn since the Great Depression, climate change, global distress, racial injustices—and each will test us. But I firmly believe Lavaca County citizens still believe in the American idea and its principles, its purpose and its promise, and together, we can overcome the challenges.
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ACROSSTEXAS TOOK A HUGE HIT IN 2020 WITH THE
FALL OF OIL AND GAS VALUATIONS, THE WORST OF WHICH WON’T LIKELY BE
REALIZED UNTIL NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET CYCLE. AS LAVACA COUNTY’S LEAD
BUDGET PLANNER, HOW WOULD YOU INTEND TO DEAL WITH THE ANTICIPATED SHORTFALLS?
President Roosevelt stated he was not a great leader but surrounded himself with intelligent people who were the experts in their fields, and those people were the ones who made President Roosevelt the leader that overcame the Great Depression and WWII. Our knowledgeable county employees and I will call upon those who are the experts in the fields of finance. They have the knowledge and have the best interests for our county at heart. Sharing their knowledge and guidance with our county commis-sioners and auditors will give us a different approach to meeting this challenge. Our current county administration has already ac-knowledged the fact that salaries of employees and elected county officials have not kept up with the times. How might that issue be addressed, especially when dealing with budgetary constraints?Continuing from the previous question: Creative finance and again calling on those who are educated in the field of finance and taxation. Together with input from our county employees and the leaders of finance, we can use unique approaches and come up with solutions. Together, we can accomplish many things.
NEITHER OF YOU ARE ATTORNEYS. PART OF YOUR DUTIES AS COUNTY JUDGE COMES IN DEAL-
ING WITH LEGAL MATTERS, SUCH AS SETTING BONDS FOR THOSE INCARCERATED, PROBATE
ISSUES, AND OFFERING RULINGS IN BOTH CRIMI-NAL AND CIVIL CASES. WHAT QUALIFIES YOU TO
HANDLE THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF THIS JOB?My 40-plus years of research and reading court dockets, probate cases and civil court records has given me the understanding of the legalese of the documents and the understanding of the laws that were applied for the decisions. Having taught Texas History and the Texas Constitution for 30 years furthers my understanding. I also believe I have the personality to be patient and listen to all arguments, and not react rashly with my decisions.
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE BEST QUALIFIES YOU TO HOLD THE
OFFICE OF LAVACA COUNTY JUDGE?My commitment to the county. This is my home; my heart and soul reside here. I want what is only the best for its citizens, and I feel it is my civic duty. It is my right as a citizen to work for all the people in our county and give the county the best I have.

The Hallettsville Volun-teer Fire Department is teaming up with the Na-tional Fire Protection Asso-ciation (NFPA), in promoting Fire Prevention Week, which started Sunday, Oct. 4 and runs through Saturday, Oct. 10.
The NFPA has been the official sponsor of Fire Pre-vention Week for more than 90 years with this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign referred to as “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!”
The campaign works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep them-selves and those around them safe.
According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States.
Almost half (44 percent) of reported home fires started in the kitchen and two-thirds (66 percent) of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.
Statistically, the NFPA reported more than 2,630 people lost their lives in the United States in 2017 from home fires, and fire departments across the nation responded to 357,000 home fires.
With cooking being the leading cause of home fires fire departments have responded to more than 173,200 fires annually between 2013 and 2017 and two of every five home fires start in the kitchen with 31 percent resulting from unattended cooking.
In addition, more than half of reported non-fatal home cooking fire injuries oc-curred when the victims tried to fight the fire themselves. Also, children under the age of five face a higher risk of non-fire burns associated with cooking than being burned in a cooking fire.
The Hallettsville Volunteer Fire Depart-ment encourages all residents to embrace the 2020 Fire Prevention Week theme and wants to share safety tips to keep you from having
a cooking fire including: • Never leave cooking food unattended.
Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grill-ing or broiling. If you have to leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove.
• If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you’re cooking.
• You have to be alert when cooking. You won’t be alert if you are sleepy, have taken medicine or drugs, or consumed alcohol that makes you drowsy.
• Always keep an oven mitt and pan lid nearby when you’re cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan to smoth-er the flame. Turn off the burner, and leave the pan covered until it is completely cool.
• Have a “kid-free zone” of at least three feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried.
In a press release from City Hall, Mayor Alice Jo Summers proclaimed this week as Fire Prevention Week saying, “I urge all the people of Hallettsville by checking their kitchens for fire hazards and using safe cook-ing practices during Fire Prevention Week 2020, and to support the many public safety activities and efforts of Hallettsville’s fire and emergency services.”
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK – OCT. 4 - 10
This year’s theme: Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen
This week (Oct. 4 - 10) is Fire Prevention Week 2020. The theme for the week is “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.” Promoting Fire Prevention Week are seated Mayor Alice Jo Summers and standing from left Hallettsville Fire Inspector Alton Brown Jr., Sparky the Fire Dog and HVFD Fire Chief Stephen Grahmann.

The calf roping barrier is still used in rodeo’s held worldwide today.
After the first high school rodeo was held in Hallettsville in 1947, the high school rodeo became so popular that it became an annual event for our community until com-ing to an end in the late 1970’s.
It has been over 35 years since the last high school state champi-onship rodeo was held in Halletts-ville, but descendants of the Allen Family, along with the Dickson-Allen Foundation; CH Graphics; the Lavaca Exposition Associa-tion; the Texas High School Rodeo Association; Modern Exploration Inc.; Oviedo; The Kubeczka Fam-ily, Mudbuddys, Allen and Allen Law Firm, P.C.; Hallettsville Ab-stract and Title Company; Rocky Creek Resources; LLC, Lavaca Midstream; Peach Creek Field Services, LLC; Phillip Reed Energy Group, LP; and Eric Johnson are bringing the sport of rodeo back to its roots.
Those attending will get to see the Top-4 Contestants in each event from each of the Texas High School
Rodeo regions, who have been in-vited to compete, for jackpot fees as well as $20,000 in added scholar-ship money.
Competitors will vie in events that include bull riding, barrel racing, pole bending, break-away roping, goat tying, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, tie-down calf roping, steer dogging as well as team roping for header and heeler.
This year’s event will begin Saturday with contestants will competing and performing at 11 a.m. and again at 7:00 p.m.
On Sunday, the top competitors from Saturday will come back to compete in the final round begin-ning at 10 a.m.
Concessions will be open with hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos and frito pie made with the Cervenka family’s homemade chili.
The organizers of the rodeo in-vite the public to come and watch these young cowgirls and cowboys display their rodeo talent.
All events are free to the public, so make plans to enjoy a sport that for many years brought excitement to this community.
the suspect vehicle refused to stop and continued through Hallettsville towards Shiner reaching speeds up to 120 miles-per-hour.
As the vehicle neared the Shiner city limits, where a Shiner PD officer set up spikes outside its city limits that proved to be effective on the suspect vehicle.
The Hallettsville and Shiner po-lice officers along with the Lavaca County Sheriff’s Office and Con-stable Larry Hlavac continued the pursuit of the suspect vehicle through the Shiner area.
The vehicle traveled down 8th street where one the passengers bailed out of the moving vehicle and
evaded on foot before being quickly apprehended by the Shiner PD, Con-stable Hlavac and a Shiner citizen.
The suspect vehicle was stopped shortly afterward with the remain-ing occupants taken into custody without further incident.
It was later confirmed that the vehicle was stolen out of Houston during an armed robbery.
The Hallettsville PD wishes to thank the Shiner PD, the LCSO, Lavaca County dispatchers, Con-stable Hlavac and the Shiner citizen for their assistance with this danger-ous situation.
The names of the suspects were not named in the press release.

PALACIOS – The Lady Brahmas eked out a five-set win over the Palacios Sharkettes Friday in a District 28-AAA match.
Palacios won the first set, 25-20, Hallettsville the second and third, 25-23, 25-11 before the Shar-kettes forced a tiebreaker winning the fourth set 26-24. In a spine tingler, the Lady Brahmas prevailed in the fifth set, 17-15.
“This was the wake-up call we needed,” Coach Lindsay Hudson said. “I would consider it one of those matches that if something could go wrong it would. But one way or another, we fought and made the decision they weren’t going to beat us.”
Kenna Kubenka led the Lady Brahmas(15-5, 8-0) in the marathon with 18 kills and 4 aces. Kin-leigh Hall added 10 kills and 3 blocks.
Addison Belicek set up kills with 22 assists and Briahna Mayfield assisted on 20.

Hallettsville dropped its first set since Sept. 11 and had to comeback from one down to beat short-handed Yoakum 3-1 on the road Tuesday, Sept. 29.
Yoakum won the first set 25-14 prior to the Lady Brahmas winning the next three, 25-17, 25-22, 25-19.
The first set was an exercise in futility.
The Lady Bulldogs led 12-9 before going on a 10-1 run helped by 4 Halletts-ville hitting errors and aces by Riley Witte and Sophia Jahn.
The Lady Brahmas con-trolled the second set behind 4 kills by Lauren Cervenka and three by Kenna Kubenka and Kin-leigh Hall in the 25-17 win.
The Lady Brahmas ral-lied from a 20-17 deficit in the third set to close
strong with Cervenka pro-viding 2 kills and Hall 1 during a 5-0 surge in the 25-22 victory.
The teams were tied 14-14 before Hallettsville rolled off seven points in a row to take control. Cervenka led the run with two aces and Hall put down 2 kills.
The Lady Brahmas amassed 39 kills in the match with 16 attack er-rors. Kubenka had 10, Hall 9 and Cervenka 8. Kaylee Svetlik led in blocks with 3, Courtney Woytek was the leader in digs with 20 and Addison Belicek put up 19 assists.

LLANO – The Hal-lettsville Brahma offense sputtered in the second half and Jim Ned took ad-vantage, scoring 10 unan-swered points in the third quarter en route to a 24-21 in a battle of state ranked teams Friday night.
The Brahmas had a critical turnover to start the second half and the Indians turned it into a 55-yard touchdown pass from Tate Yardley to Aus-tin Martin to tie the score at 21.
On its next possession, Jim Ned had a drive stall at the Brahma 9 and set-tled for a 26-yard field goal by Hayden Humphries with 3:28 left in the third quarter for what proved to be the game-winner.
The Brahmas had a chance to tie the score but a 36-yard field goal attempt that was wide left early in the fourth period. After the miss the Brah-
mas never saw the football again. Jim Ned ate up the 10 minutes and 23 seconds of the clock and the game ended with the Indians in victory formation at the Hallettsville 3.
The Brahmas made only three first downs and a paltry 78 yards total offense in the final two quarters.
“We became one di-mensional in the second half because we couldn’t throw and catch like we have been able to,” Brah-ma Coach Tommy Psencik said. “Penalties and turn-over hurt and you can’t do that against a good ball club like Jim Ned.”
Runnings backs on both sides turned in yeo-man service.
J im Ned’s Xavier Wishert rushed for 216 yards on 24 carries and scored on runs of 70 and 20 yards.
The Brahmas’ Jonathon Brooks gained 203 yards on 20 carries and had
scoring runs of 1 and 39 yards besides returning an interception 51 yards for a touchdown, the Indians’ lone turnover.
On its first possession of the game, Hallettsville had a good-looking drive stall after a turnover at the Jim Ned 12. On the fifth play, Wishert went up the gut for 70 yards an a touchdown.
Ty Gerke returned the ensuing kickoff 38 yards to the Jim Ned 42 and the Brahmas overcame a hold-ing penalty to drive the 48 yards in 9 plays capped by Brooks going over from the one-yard line. Chase Janak kicked the point af-ter to knot the score at 7-7.
Brooks’ interception and return for 51 yards and a touchdown gave the Brahmas a 14-7 lead.
The Indians came back with a 9-play, 88-yard drive that ended with a 20-yard
touchdown run by Wishert.Hallettsville replied
with a long drive of its own traveling 88 yards in 10 plays
On a second and 20 from their own 17, quarter-back Trace Patek hooked up with Luke Bludau for 23 yards and a new set of downs at the 40.. The Brah-mas eventually scored with Brooks going 39 yards on a fourth and 2 to take a 21-14 halftime lead.
“We’ll learn from this loss,” Psencik said. “Some-times a tough loss can be as good as an easy win.”

The Houston Astros have found a good time to get hot.
After having a pedes-trian-like 60 game season, the Astros seemed dead in the water and no one considered them a threat.
But you have a team that knows the ins and outs of the playoffs, it is hard to count them out.
Houston amassed 16 hits Monday in the 10-5 win, the most given up this season by the A’s pitching staff.
Jose Altuve, George Springer and Carlos Cor-rea each played their 53rd playoff games Monday. Altuve has struggled all season and hopefully has come out of the doldrums.
Correa crushed two home runs and Springer had four hits.
Are happy days here again? Time will tell.

The Sacred Heart Indians had two op-ponents cancel games because of the corona-virus.
An Indian team member tested positive for the virus last week and Sacred Heart shut down school Friday be-fore returning Monday.
The Indians were due to play Houston Northland Christian here last Friday but of-ficials from that school decided to cancel the game.
The Indians were to play The Woodlands Legacy Prep on the road Friday but that game, too, was cancelled.

Remembering ‘Marion’I remember exactly where I was when
I heard the tragic news, over the radio, about the death of a person who was very dear to me. Heck, I had known him all my life – he was my role model – I wanted to be just like Marion Michael Morrison.
Marion had done it all and he was, to me, the shining example of a great Ameri-can. After all, how many Americans can say that they flew fighter planes in World War II, fought against the Apache, and shot down bad guys in the old west? Well, if Marion was with us today he could lay claim to all those things and more; why, he even fought against Santa Anna at the Alamo.
I was working the graveyard shift at The Dow Chemical, in Freeport, Texas, on June 11, 1979, when the shocking news about Marion came across the radio. I worked alone in a brine-treating facility in one of Dow’s chlorine gas plants. And it was a good thing that I was by myself, because the news brought me to tears; not something I would have wanted the other guys to see.
Many thoughts raced through my mind that night. I wondered how my life would be without Marion – he was the one who provided me with some diversion from the problems and strain of my daily routine. When I had troubles, I could always go to the local picture show, have some popcorn, and watch Marion fight Indians or out-draw a bad guy and then my world would seem normal again.
No, I knew my life would never be the same without the Iowa-born Marion
Michael Morrison. And after careful con-sideration, perhaps I should use the name that Hollywood placed upon him in the late 1920s. I can just hear him saying, “Pilgrim, you better cut out that Marion crap and start calling me John Wayne!”
John Wayne , nicknamed “Duke,” was a man of few words, most of the time, but when he spoke nearly everyone listened. He made over 200 films, best I remember, and only won an Academy Award for one of them – that being True Grit, which is not one of my fa-vorites. In my opinion, he should have won awards for The Searchers, The Quiet Man, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, Red River, The Horse Soldiers, The Cowboys, and The Shootist.
From the time he was discovered by director John Ford, Wayne showed his versatile ability to play any role which was offered to him. Granted, some of his movies were not so hot and most of those I don’t even remember but all the rest are burned into my brain – I can tell you the names of the characters in most of the movies (my favorites), and I catch myself reciting the dialog along with the actors.
As I write this, I remember even more of my favorite John Wayne movies such as Rio Grande, In Harms Way, Fort Apache, and The Flying Tigers. And who can forget Fighting Seabees, Sands of Iwo Jima, Big
LONE STAR DIARYBY: MURRAY MONTGOMERY
There are so many ‘whys’ in life;the answer is simple: Trust GodWhy? Why? Why? Sometimes no matter how many
times we say it, no answer can be found. Why were we born? We may wonder why we were,
especially at times when nothing but trouble seems to come our way.
As we go through life, there are times when we wonder why certain things happened to us as a child, in school, at our work, in different relationships, and in events that occur during our life.
‘Why’ often best expresses our deepest questions. Why we lost a loved one, why we are sick or why our life takes a certain direction.
It’s not just you and I who want to know “why.”Moses prayed, “Lord, why have You brought trouble
on this people? Why is it You have sent me?” when he was chosen by God to lead the children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt (Exodus 5:22).
Joshua cried, “Alas, Lord God, why have You brought this people over to the Jordan at all — to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? (Josh. 7:7).
Gideon lamented, “Why then has all this happened to us?” (Judg. 6:13).
Nehemiah asked, “Why is the house of the Lord forsaken?” (Neh. 13:11).
Job cried, “Why did I not die at birth?” (Job 8:11). Even our Savior cried out while hanging on the
cross, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matt. 27:46).
There are many more “why?” questions that we’ll cover next week, but let’s concentrate on some of these first.
First of all, let’s look into the name God gave to Mo-ses when he requested an identifying name: “I Am That I Am.” That’s the name God gave for Himself, showing that God is alive and is offering salvation.
That name was later shortened to four letters — YHMH, probably pronounced “Yahweh.” It’s usually translated as “Lord” in English. It’s used 6,700 times in the Old Testament.
Through the centuries, scholars have tried to define the name, but never came to a real conclusion. And maybe that’s the way God wants His real name to be — a mystery.
While God’s true name is a mystery, the “why’s” we as believers ask are also often a mystery. Some of the answers are revealed to us over time, while others won’t be known to us until we are in the presence of God.
What we do know for sure is that the human race is in trouble. If we didn’t know it before, we should see it even more clearly in 2020 as we face a worldwide pandemic of epic proportions, along with all kinds of other trials and tribulations.
It seems like the more educated we get, and the more computers and other devices we have, the more trouble we seem to be getting ourselves into.
What we as Christians should know by now is that God is the only one who can get us out of this mess. It may take Christ’s triumphant return as King of kings and Lord of lords to resolve it.
In the meantime, God offers us salvation. He’s doing for us what we can’t do for ourselves.
Exodus is a powerful and true story of God working salvation. It’s a story of the Lord helping His people get out of trouble.
This same God is willing and able to get every one of us out of “trouble” as we go through life. It may be physical or mental or spiritual trouble, but the Lord is here to guide us through it all.
— Buddy Preuss(Continued next week)
T H E B I B L ESOLID GROUND
Jake, Back to Bataan, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, The Comancheros, Chisum, Cahill U.S. Marshal, Mc-Clintock, and The Alamo.
Several months after the death of John Wayne, his friend Ronald Reagan was asked to write something about the actor. His tribute tells much about the man. Reagan recalled the time when Wayne was in Dallas for the premiere of Chisum. He returned to his hotel room late one night to find a note tacked to his door. It was from a woman who said her little daughter lay critically ill in a local hos-pital. The woman wrote, “It would mean so much to her if you could pay her just a brief visit.” At 3 o’clock in the morning, he took off to the hospital and visited the astonished child and every other patient who happened to be awake.
John Wayne was always a solid backer of our troops. During the Vietnam War, he was one of the few from Hollywood who firmly sup-ported our soldiers. In his tribute to Wayne, Ronald Reagan wrote of an inci-dent that occurred when Duke and actor Jimmy Stewart were traveling to-gether to attend an event; along the way, they encoun-ter a group of demonstra-tors who were carrying a Vietcong flag. Jimmy Stewart had just lost a son in Vietnam. It seems that Duke excused himself and walked into the crowd; when he returned there was no Vietcong flag.
I wonder sometime what John Wayne what think about the things that are going on in today’s world. I’ll bet he would have al-ready made a movie, or two, about our brave kids fighting in Iraq and Af-ghanistan. No doubt, he would probably have paid them a visit and told them how proud he was of the job they are doing. He was like that you know, a pa-triot to the core and a great American.
It’s doubtful that John Wayne would have thought much about the rights of our enemy; he probably would have figured that murderers give up their rights when they kill inno-cent people and attack us on our own soil. The John Wayne that I remember would have most likely been looking for a rope rather than “due process” – but then again that’s just my opinion.
Duke had a saying about how he expected others to treat him. He used that motto in one of the scenes from The Shootist when he said, “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people and I require the same from them.”
Although he never knew me, I feel that if we had ever met, Marion and I would have been good friends – well anyway, that’s the way I like to imagine it.
COVID-19 has changed numerous act iv i t ies throughout the county and the process of voting is no exception. The good news is that each voter has sev-eral options to keep their voting experience safe.
If you qualify to vote by mail, you can vote from home and avoid the pub-lic polling locations. You must apply for a mail-in ballot and your county elec-tion office (Lavaca County Courthouse Annex, 412 N. Texana, Hallettsville, Texas) must receive the ap-plication by Oct. 23, 2020. The sooner you get your application to the county election office, the better.
Who can vote by mail? You can vote by mail if you are 65 years or older (or will be 65 on Nov. 3); are sick or disabled, will be out of the county dur-ing the early voting period and election day or are in jail but otherwise eligible to vote.
The Texas Election Code defines disability as a “sick-ness or physical condition” that prevents a voter from appearing in person with-out the risk of “injuring the voter’s health.” The Texas Supreme Court recently opined that “a voter can take into consideration aspects of his health and his health history that are physical conditions in de-ciding whether, under the circumstances, to apply to vote by mail because of disability.” You are not required to explain your disability and simply need to check the box. Voters are encouraged to review the Centers for Disease Control’s website for a list of conditions that place vot-ers at risk if they contract COVID-19.
When completing your vote by mail application, be sure to mark all required boxes on the application and sign the carrier en-velope in a clear, legible manner. If you are complet-ing the application with the assistance of another individual, that person must also complete the applicable section on the application.
Once you receive your
mail-in ballot, you can re-turn your ballot through the US Postal Service, use a contract service such as UPS or Federal Express or personally hand deliver your ballot to the county election officer. Be sure to bring photo identification with you if you return your ballot in person. You can only return your personal ballot and not a ballot for another person.
Curbside voting will also be available for all voters during the early election period and Nov. 3. This op-tion will be available at all polling locations on elec-tion day and it is suggested that you call ahead to let the polling location and/or election office know you plan to use curbside voting on that specific day.
The early voting period has been extended this year to allow more opportu-nities to avoid large crowds and fewer lines on election day. It begins Oct. 13 and continues until Oct. 30. As an extra bonus, Lavaca County is also conducting early voting on weekends (Oct. 17, 24 from 8 a.m to 5 p.m.; Oct 18 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.) and extended hours on Oct. 13, 19 and 26 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m). Try to go to the polls during non-peak hours like the middle of the morning and afternoon.
Safety protection mea-sures will be taken at the polls according to Gwen Holt, Election Adminis-trator for Lavaca County. Poll workers will be fur-nished cloth masks and face shields if they de-sire. Hand sanitizer will be placed at the entrance
of all polling locations and all voters will be asked to sanitize their hands before entering. Each polling location shall also have markings to indicate the six-foot social distance. Voting machines will be spaced out to create more safe distance between vot-ers. Additionally, poll work-ers will sanitize the pencils for paper ballot and the stylus for electronic voting after each voter uses them along with the commonly touched areas of the elec-tronic voting machines. The Texas Secretary of State encourages all voters to wear masks at the polling location and keep the mask on at all times.
If a voter has COVID-19 or symptoms related to COVID, the voter should contact the county elec-tions office to request an emergency mail-in ballot or to use curbside voting.
In-person voters are also encouraged to bring to the polls their notes and/or the nonpartisan Voters Guides supplied by the League of Women Voters marked with their choices to save time when marking their bal-lots. Voters can also print a ballot with their candidate choices using VOTE411.org, the online version of the Voters Guide.
Voters are encouraged to access the user-friendly League of Women Voters of Texas website (my.lwv.org/Texas/voting-elections) which contains extensive information and videos on all election topics.

If you had to paint a picture titled October, what would you include? For many of us, fall has a very distinct appear-ance. We decorate our porches with scarecrows, pumpkins, and other winter squash (as mentioned last week). The leaves in the trees begin to fall and there is a crispness in the air. Does your fall image have a sensory appeal? Per-haps in thinking about what your picture might include you already have an aroma wafting through your mind. For the pumpkin obsessed, the scent is an obvious one. But what exactly is the pumpkin scent and why are so many consumers drawn towards it?
Aroma plays an important role in the interaction we have with food. Our food choices go beyond what we see and often are driven by how they smell. The scents that many identify with for fall are actually spices and herbs. Did you know that using spices and herbs can be an excellent strategy for improv-ing your heart health?
The Better Living for Texans program unit adapted a guide from the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension that categorizes many of the popular flavors:
• Strong flavor: bay leaf, cardamom, curry, ginger, pepper, mustard, rosemary, and sage
• Medium flavor: basil, cumin, dill, fennel, garlic, marjo-ram, mint, oregano, thyme, turmeric
• Sweet flavor: cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger, carda-mom, mint, fennel
• Savory flavor: oregano, garlic powder, curry powder, dill, onion powder
• Peppery flavor: mustard, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and chili powder
Spices and herbs can be expensive to stock in a kitchen at first. Start with the some of the most common including pep-per, cinnamon, and a few of the medium flavors. If you store your dried and powdered spices in airtight containers in a dry, dark place they will stay flavorful for a few years.
MASTER WELLNESS VOLUNTEER TRAINING CLASSES BEGIN OCTOBER 21ST
Lavaca County Extension is looking to expand its com-munity outreach by growing the Master Wellness Volunteer program. Master Wellness volunteers receive 40 hours of ed-ucation related to health, nutrition, food safety, healthy food preparation, public speaking and much more. In return, volun-teers are asked to give 40 hours of volunteer service to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
The volunteer opportunities may include giving presenta-tions for local community groups, assisting with healthy cook-ing demonstrations, distributing information at health fairs, working with schools and data entry. Previous health or well-ness training is not required but an interest in living healthfully and helping others do the same is.
This is an excellent opportunity for those who have flexible schedules and are looking for a way to become more involved in the community. The training classes will meet face to face in the conference room of the Lavaca County Extension Office in Hallettsville. The first class will be held on Wednesday, Octo-ber 21. Classes will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. weekly. After the first week, classes will move to Thursdays: October 29, November 5, November 12, November 19, December 3, December 10, and December 17. The fee for this session has been reduced to $10. The regular training fee is $75. An online version of this training will be offered in January at the regular rate of $75. For more information or to sign up for the class call the Extension Office at 361-798-2221.

Victoria Col lege’s Al l ied Health Continuing Education Department will accept com-pleted application packets for Spring 2021 courses from Oct. 1 to Oct. 30.
Victoria College will offer specialized training in the fol-lowing fields during the Spring 2021 semester:
• Medical Assisting •Medication Aide• Nurse Aide• Pharmacy Technician• PhlebotomyThese training courses can be
completed in 14 weeks or less and lead to industry-recognized credentials and in-demand jobs. Financial aid and scholarships are available.
Medical assistants work along physicians, mainly in outpatient or ambulatory care facilities such as medical offices and clinics. Nurse aides, or certified nurs-ing assistant (CNAs), provide intimate, hands-on healthcare
to patients in medical settings. The Nurse Aide Course does not require a high school diploma or GED to enroll.
Medication aides are CNAs that have completed additional classroom training to be certi-fied to dispense medications to patients while working under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN). Pharmacy technicians re-view dosage calculations, drug classifications, dispensing of sub-scriptions, billing and reimburse-ment in a retail or pharmacy set-ting. Phlebotomists draw blood from patients, collect a variety of other specimen samples as well as label blood vials.
“These professions are always in demand in our region, and many of our students find em-ployment after completing these courses,” said Shari Gould, VC Allied Health Continuing Edu-cation director. “These courses are ideal for people who want to gain entry-level employment
in a healthcare profession with minimal class time.”
All classes will be conducted face-to-face at Victoria College’s Main Campus. Medication Aide and Nurse Aide classes will also be offered at VC’s Gonzales Center.
Due to the COVID-19, Victoria College has implemented pro-tocols to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of its students, employees and guests. Students will be required to wear a facial covering, have their tempera-tures taken and pass a health screening before entering the classroom. Social distancing will also be required.

Around the country I am hearing people say they are voting for the person, not the party. There is an old saying, “We are known by the company we keep.” In our election process we have individuals who profess that they do not believe in the organization that they represent. When the Democrat Party sponsor-ing a candidate cannot be found on campaign releases, signs, and other literature this presents questions. If this were a church, they would be called a “hypocrite.” The Bible tells us beware of wolves in sheep’s cloth-ing, (Matthew 7:15)
The Democrat Party is an organization that is known to support abor-tion, anti 2nd Amend-ment, and aligns with organizations that are complicit in burning, loot-ing, rioting, killings cops, and destroying historical monuments. Why would anyone affiliate with that organization? If elected, the Democrat Party plat-form could be used to run your government. {Inter-net search: “Democratic Party Platform for 2020”}
When people in Wash-ington, Oregon, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Cal-ifornia, New York, also Houston, Austin, San An-tonio, etc. elected Demo-crat mayors, county judg-es and governors, they thought they were voting for “good people.” Do you think they expected their elected officials to stand by and let their cities be torched, people threat-ened and businesses de-stroyed? After all, these were“good people.”
Why would you con-tinue to belong to an organization opposed to your core beliefs?
Most of us and our parents were once Demo-crats. The Democratic party of JFK no longer exists. It has left us and gone astray. Are you re-ally still a Democrat? Do you really want a Demo-crat to represent you? If
candidates will not stand for the platform they are running on, will they stand up for you? Can you trust what they promise today they do tomorrow?
Don’t be fooled, your vote does matter. VOTE wisely!

Sunday, Oct. 4, 2020. Do any of you remember the mid-forties, mid-fifties, the polio summers? Before there was a vaccine, when breathing, if struck by polio, meant life in an iron lung. Do you remember a brother, a sister, a cousin, or a friend who went from playing tag on Saturday to legs that wouldn’t run on Monday? Do you remember that your parents forbade swimming in pools, birthday parties, or even Dick Tracy serials at the movies for fear of you becoming infected? Do you remember how even the President of the United States became restricted to a wheel chair?
Can you imagine how your parents, though likely blessedly departed, would react to the parade this weekend, in front Walter Reed National Military Medi-cal Center?
Your father, your brother, your uncle, your cousin en-closed in an air-tight limousine with a patient infected with an incurable disease for an hour’s exposition. A disease in many instances that is an analogue to poliomy-elitis. Three words come to mind: Vain, Cruel, and, Stupid.
Sincerely,R.G. Weiss
In response to Mr. Dan Kasper’s letter, I am in total agreement with you. I am also in agreement with Mr. Joel Johnson’s letter, whose family has suffered personal attacks. Back to Mr. Kasper’s concerns, there are at least two (2) stand up groups for Lavaca County and our citizens that I am aware of. The local group here is the Lavaca County Incident Rapid Regiment, (LCIRR) headed by Tim Berkovsky with others, who have been active recently with events in Hallettsville and Yoakum. Annual dues are $40. Mr. Berkovsky’s contact number is 361-208-3728 and he can give you more information on join-ing and the focus of the group. Please speak to this man as he can give you a lot of good information.
Another group is the Texas Freedom Force, who also stand up to defend Lavaca County and surrounding areas. The first year membership is $40. Their headquarter’s address is This is Texas Freedom Force; PO Box 591447, San Antonio, Texas 78259. Their website is TXFreedomForce.org and they also have a Facebook page. They have also been active in Hallettsville, Austin and San Antonio defending the Alamo Cenitaff.
All citizens are welcome to join one or both of these groups, even if you are senior citizens. There is always some-thing you can do to help and support these younger, strong people who have stepped up to defend our Constitutional rights here in Lavaca County and sur-rounding areas. If members of these groups and citizens had not stood up in
Hallettsville at Glen’s Meat Market this past summer, there would have been two (2) bus loads of “antifa” jerks coming in from Austin to take down our town and who knows where they would have stopped. Folks, we have to turn Ameri-can back to God and stand up for our rights or we will loose them. Citizens, stand up for your Community; stand up for our Texas and US Constitution.
V ‘Anne, thank you for prayers; happy to hear you love the Lord; how-ever, I still agree with Kevin. Have you checked out the platform you support? Dem’s support raising taxes, green new disaster, defunding the Police, abolish-ing religious freedom, etc., and, well, the entire Constitution, just ask Hillary. You stated you do believe there will be a Judgement Day in Heaven. What will you tell God the Father when He asks you why did you support shedding inno-cent blood with abortions murdering ba-bies? Why did you support homosexual marriage when My Word tells you that is an abomination? Why did you support transgender body mutilation when I chose that person to be a girl or a boy? I gave you My Word to guide you so why did you support these things totally against My Word and my Will? What will you say? I dare you to read Isaiah 1:4-7 and 5:20; Revelation 18:4 Our salvation is determined by our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ; Judgement will be determined by our “works”. Today we do not have the same Democrat Party platform as it was in the 1950’s.

Dr. Freytag of Lavaca County Chiro-practic in Hallettsville, is joining chiro-practors nationwide this October during National Chiropractic Health Month (NCHM) to encourage the public to get “active and adaptive” and maintain mus-culoskeletal health and function in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since March, many people across the country have incorporated changes into their daily lives to reduce their potential exposure to the novel coronavirus: avoid-ing crowded public spaces, working from home, forgoing air travel for long car trips, ordering food online, and avoiding gyms and health clubs. As a result, many are moving less and experiencing musculo-skeletal conditions such as back pain, neck pain and headaches.
“In addition to physical inactivity and poor posture from increased screen time, the added psychological stress that people are experiencing because of the COVID-19
pandemic can make muscles tighten, lead-ing to aches and pains,” said Dr. Freytag.
During NCHM, Dr. Freytag will share information on musculoskeletal health and strategies to prevent pain such as getting enough physical activity daily, be-ing aware of posture and ways to improve it, getting adequate rest, and managing stress naturally.
National Chiropractic Health Month is a nationwide observance hosted by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and held each October. NCHM educates the public about the importance of mus-culoskeletal health and raises awareness of the benefits of chiropractic care and its natural, patient-centered and drug-free approach to pain management, health, and wellness.

LETTERS to the EDITORDemocrat Presidential Candidate
Joe Biden is touting Wall Street’s sup-port for his $640 Billion housing plan that would force - low income, multi-family housing developments into American suburban communities and small rural towns.
Recently - during a visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin - where the Black Lives Mat-ter organization and members of Antifa have led riots for weeks - Biden told supporters that Wall Street supports his housing plan because it “will increase the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).” More government spending. “And by the way, its not a waste of money. Even the folks on Wall Street point out that will increase the GDP, make it grow.” Biden said of the plan, “people will do better, people will do better,”
Biden’s housing plan, as reported, would implement an unprecedented ex-pansion of Section 8 housing vouchers while requiring that local communities,
suburbs, and small towns to abolish strict zoning laws in order to become eligible for certain federal grants.
The plan provides for $300 million investment “to give states and locali-ties the technical assistance and plan-ning support they need to eliminate exclusionary zoning policies, and local regulations that contribute to sprawl.”
Communities unwilling to eliminate their zoning laws to allow for multi-family, mixed income housing develop-ment in their neighborhoods would be shut out of federal grants under Biden’s plan. To include city and state street/highway construction and maintenance.
Former New York State Lieutenant Governor Betsy McCaughey, a Republi-can, has called Biden’s housing plan “di-sastrous” for suburban and small town families who would see rapid dense and high rise housing developments pop up in their communities. Biden’s plan is to force suburban neighborhoods/towns
with single-family homes and minimum lot sizes to build high-density afford-able housing smack in the middle of their leafy neighborhoods. Local pref-erences and local control be damned.
The plan is coupled with Biden’s expansion of illegal and legal immigra-tion, importing the poverty of the Cen-tral and South American Countries into the United States, producing a model for packed suburbs with record popu-lation growth, dense living spaces, and potentially a migration from large cities to smaller, middle class communities.
This is dove - tails into Biden’s national immigration plan (where to warehouse all of these new immigrants) includes an effort to provide amnesty to all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens now living in the United States, freeing border crossers into the country, and restarting welfare — dependent legal immigration that would cost American Taxpayers billions. For Biden — where
to warehouse these new legal - illegal aliens flooding into the country — alas — the big city suburbs and small rural town America.
Aside from mass amnesty and the above stated goals the plan commits to:
• Ending the National Emergency Declaration at the southern border
• Ending the travel ban from foreign countries that sponsor terrorism
• Providing federal student low in-terest loans and free community college to DACA illegal aliens
• Cracking down on Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) agents
Biden’s plan would drive up huge costs for American Taxpayers. The American Taxpayer would not be eligible for any of these new entitle-ments bestowed on these newly-arrived citizens/potential citizens, but will have the privilege of paying the bill.

JOE BIDEN TOUTS WALL STREET SUPPORT PLAN TO ABOLISH AMERICAN SUBURBS
Some years back, I wrote a let-ter to the editor of the Tribune in which I made the statement that “there was a communist hiding under every rock, and some day they were going to come out to play”. Recently, a person told my daughter Christie that they remembered me writing this ar-ticle and that, considering what is going on in our country today, they would like for me to address this again.
In my letter, I called your attention to something that hap-pened on January 10, 1963. The House of Representatives and the Senate began reviewing a document entitled “Communist Goals for Taking over America.” It contained an agenda of 45 separate issues. This was read on the floor of the House of Representatives so that it could be placed into the Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963.
I want to now call your at-tention to something else that happened in the fall of 1963. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that any Bible reciting or prayer, in public schools, was deemed un-constitutional. If I had to choose one specific event that has dem-onstrated the demoralization of our country, it would have to be this decision of the U.S Supreme Court.”
At that point in time they had accomplished their goal number 28.
The Tribune Herald has kind-ly agreed to publish this Congres-
sional record on the same page as this letter, so please go to that document now and read goal 28. Do this each time that I call your attention to other goals as we explore what the American Communist Party planned for us way back then.
God was now out of our school, and they could begin to start cre-ating a culture to take God out of our Country.
Now let us look at some of the other goals.
Goal 15 -- Have they accom-plished this? What party is it? Don’t jump to a hurried conclu-sion. One of the two parties proudly calls itself socialists. The other party is the Constitutional Conservatives, but don’t forget the never Trumpers who on critical votes, will side with the socialists. One party is lost and the other needs help.
Goals 24, 25, 26, the pornifica-tion of our country. Think about the movie “Cuties”, now being streamed into our living rooms all across America, Pedophilia any-body? Also think about the rest of both soft and hard core porn that is being streamed into our homes. How long has it been since you could sit and watch T V with your grandchildren without cringing? Now think how your daughter may have to compete against an athlete who was born with male reproductive organs, and after competing with him, she must now share her bathroom with him. Think about Epstein and his love island, and all the
famous people who visited this island with him. Do you shudder as you think about the thousands of young girls and boys who have been kidnapped and sold into the rampant sex trafficking that has been and is occurring worldwide, and yes, this includes the United States?. Do you not agree with me that 24, 25, and 26 has been scratched off their list?
Now goal 27. How many Churches have split because so many of their members have decided to use the Bible like you use the buffet line in The Golden Corral? They pick and choose what they want, if they don’t agree then leave it there. They think, “I like this part, but hey I sure don’t like that so let us just ignore it”. Do you agree that this goal is complete?
Go to goals 22 and 23. How many of you remember the “Piss Christ Photograph”? It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a small glass tank of the artist’s urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art’s “Awards in the Visual Arts” competition, which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Govern-ment agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects, funds that are furnished by U.S. Taxpayers, which of course in-cludes you.
Read goals 29 through 31. Think about the statues that have fallen in American. Think about what is being taught in our Col-
leges and in many High Schools about our Founding fathers and our history. When was Civics and Government taken out of the school curriculum? Which brings us to goals 17 through 20 and goal 42. Read them now. Think about the constant TV coverage of the violence that has been occurring in America the past 3 or 4 months. How many of you have noticed , when watching the news, that a lot of the protestors are young college educated kids, with no responsibilities, endless funds from rich liberal Daddy’s and Mommy’s money, with plenty of time to “peaceful” protest about a world they know noth-ing about?
Oh, I sure can’t skip goal 40. Discredit the family as an insti-tution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce and the murder of 80 million babies, with a dis-proportionate majority number being black babies, Eugenics anyone?
Read goals 4 through 7 and think about what has occurred in the past few years as it relates to China, but in particular what has occurred the past few months.
Being a Cold War veteran, I find it hard to believe that I missed the fact that at the same time I was serving in Germany, there was a second Cold War occurring in American. This war, the Communist Takeover of America has been fought since around 1920. And in the past few months this war has gone from cold to hot. We can no longer call
it a Cold War. It is beginning to leave bodies on the streets.
Now I want to quote E. M. Cadwaladr, columnist from the website, “American Thinker”.
“The true hardcore Marxists on the left don’t see the world in terms of peace, social justice or minimizing the suffering of individual human beings. The only god that their ideology ac-knowledges is power. President Trump and the millions and millions who support him are a threat to their power”. “The long march through the institutions, proposed by American commu-nists of the 1960’s has reached its Zenith”. “They run the schools, they run the bureaucracy, they run the media”, end quote.
But people they don’t run me, and I know they don’t run you nor do they run the millions of Americans who feel as you and I do.
November 3rd will soon be here. This is the most critical day in the lives of every God lov-ing, patriotic American. If you treasure the values, the morality, the love of country, the love of family that was taught to us by our parents, our grandparents, our great grandparents, all the way back to the founding fathers, then you must vote. There is always “hope”! YOU MUST DO YOUR PART BY VOTING. Let your voices be heard at the ballot box. The Silent Majority MUST be heard. It needs to roar on that day like a mighty lion.
Jerry Lackey
Mr. HERLONG.Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and ar-ticulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedi-cated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers ofcom-munism in America. At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, underunanimous consent, the following “Cur-rent Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen: CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexis-tence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitu-late in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that to-tal disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Com-munist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satel-lites. 6
. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Ger-many as separate states in spite
of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to sus-pend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as aone-world govern-ment with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to out-law the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. 1
6. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claim-ing their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Com-munist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teach-
ers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assign-ments, editorial writing, and policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key posi-tions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and build-ings, substitute shapeless, awk-ward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, re-pulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws govern-ing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
5. Break down cultural stan-dards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pic-tures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churchesand replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bibleand emphasize the need for
intellectual maturity which does not need a “religiouscrutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.” (Remember these goals were published to expose them in 1958) Coincidence?
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inad-equate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of Ameri-can culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a mi-nor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist move-ment to give centralized control over any part of the culture--ed-ucation, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or pro-cedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Com-mittee on Un-American Activi-ties.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. 36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the pow-ersof arrest from the police to so-cial agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining co-ercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscu-ity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. At-tribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to sup-pressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the Ameri-can tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“] united force [“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native popu-lations are ready for self-govern-ment.
44. Internationalize the Pan-ama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally res-ervation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over do-mestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Bluebonnet Youth Ranch prize drawing set SaturdayLike many local charities im-
pacted by this year’s COVID-19 pandemic, many of Bluebonnet Youth Ranch’s planned fund-raising events were canceled and/or postponed in 2020.
But coronavirus didn’t cramp this year’s annual raffle prize drawing, and they’re set to give away a host of unique and wonderful prizes on Sat-urday, Oct. 10.
One such prize was donated by a generous and longtime
supporter of the Bluebonnet Youth Ranch comes from Major Baseball Hall of Famer Craig Biggio.
Biggio joined the Houston Astros in 1988 and played for that ball club his entire career. He holds Astros franchise re-cords for most career games, at bats, hits, runs scored, doubles, total bases and extra base hits, and he ranks second in runs batted in, walks and stolen bases.
As what many considered the core of the so-called “Killer Bs”—what many fans called the trio of Biggio and power hitters Lance Berkman and Jeff Bagwell, later joined by many other Astros legends whose last names also started with B—Big-gio was instrumental in seeing the Astros to their first World Series appearance in 2005.
He also played a major role in helping Corpus Christi land the Hooks minor league club
and ballfield.Shortly before his retire-
ment in 2007, Biggio became one of the select few in all of Major League baseball to join the 3,000 Hit Club. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015.
His autographed baseball, donated to this year’s prize giveaway, is one of many great prizes up for grabs, with all proceeds going to benefit the Bluebonnet Youth Ranch, lo-
cated just outside Yoakum along Highway 77A to Cuero.
The Bluebonnet Youth Ranch is a non-profit organi-zation that that serves as a long-term, residential home for dependent, abused and neglected children.
For more information about the prize drawing or find out more about the facility, visit their webpage at https://www.bluebonnetyouthranch.org/ or check them out on Facebook.

HUMBLE. PRAY. SEEK. TURN. LIFE CHAIN 2020Pro-life Christians gathered Sunday, Oct. 4, at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Hallettsville to join thousands of Christians nationwide to peacefully and prayerfully stand before God on behalf of pre-born children. Participants spread out on both sides of Highway 77 south, holding signs that read: “Jesus Hears, Heals and Forgives,” “Pray to End Abortion,” and “Abortion Kills Children.” Since 1987, Life Chain has been a public witness of prayer and repentance, uniting the Church against the evil of abortion, while boldly standing in the hope of Christ for our country. The Hallettsville Life Chain was started in 2008 by a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. It is a prayer event open to all. When we gather together, and come before our God, we believe that hearts will change. This peaceful, family friendly visual that abortion is wrong and the Church is opposed to killing pre-born children will be a message loudly heard. For more information on Life Chain, please visit the website: lifechain.org.

Agricultural program offering 3 CEUs American Pickers to Film in Texas
Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and their team are excited to return to Texas. They plan to film episodes of the hit series American Pick-ers throughout the area in November.
We understand that with the proliferation of COVID-19, we are all fac-ing very uncertain times. We, at American Pickers are taking the pandemic very seriously and will be following all guidelines and protocols for safe film-ing as outlined by the state and CDC. While we plan
to be in Texas in Novem-ber, we will continue to re-schedule if conditions change for the worse. Re-gardless, we are excited to continue to reach the many collectors in the area to dis-cuss their years of picking.
American Pickers is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on History. The hit show follows Mike and Frank, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find sizable, unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them.
As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Mike and Frank are on a mission to recycle and res-cue forgotten relics. Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters with re-markable and exceptional items. The pair hopes to give historically significant objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.
Mike and Frank have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover some-thing they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them.
American Pickers is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or someone you know has a large, private collection of accumulation of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send your name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to:
