Historic events planned for Texas Heroes DayBy PAUL SCHENCK
LA GRANGE — Texas He-roes Day at Monument Hill/Kreische Brewery State Histori-cal Park in La Grange starts an all-day celebration Saturday of his-toric events that took place dur-ing the days of the Texas Repub-lic from 1836 to 1845.
The day will especially honorthe pioneer heroes who fought forthe Republic of Texas in two fe-rocious battles in 1842. One wasat Salado Creek near San Anto-nio and the other was at Mier onthe Rio Grande River on the bor-der between Texas and Mexico.
The remains of the brave menwho died in these two battles areentombed at Monument Hill StatePark, and that’s where the celebra-tion starts Saturday at 9 a.m.
Entrance to the park is free ofcharge and includes the KreischeHouse and the ruins of the KreischBrewery.
Scott Dunbar and the TexasDare-Devils will be there withtheir cannons to start activitieswith a bang, and other pioneer re-enactors will provide aimed firewith their black powder rifles.Former Texas Rangers will beamong the re-enactors, dressed intheir typical Ranger attire of the1880s era.
The featured speaker will beJoe Davis, president of the FormerTexas Rangers Association, lo-cated in Fredericksburg. Heserved as a Texas Ranger from1969 to 1993, fighting 20th cen-tury outlaws such as bank robbers.
Davis will focus his remarks onremembering the men who puttheir lives on the line to protectTexans for the past 190 years.
Early Rangers were the expe-rienced Indian fighters who madethe frontier safe for settlers, start-ing in 1823 to protect Stephen F.Austin’s colony. The “Immortal32” Rangers died during theMexican army attack on theAlamo in 1836, and other Rang-ers participated in the San Jacintobattle, as well as the MexicanBorder Wars and the Mier Expe-dition in 1842.
The program on stage startspromptly at 9 a.m. Saturday, tell-ing the tragic story of the DawsonMassacre and of the Mier Expe-dition. This year’s retelling willfocus on two heroes from LaGrange, Captain Nicholas MosbyDawson and Captain WilliamMosby Eastland. Both men losttheir lives in their battles and areburied in the tomb at MonumentHill.
As the story unfolds, theMonument Hill Singers will singthe songs that the survivors ofboth battles sang while impris-oned in Perote Castle, deep insideMexico. Later in the program, thereplica of the flag that the ladiesof La Grange sewed for these vol-unteers to carry into battle will beauctioned off.
One of the most moving partsof the morning program is the sol-emn wreath-laying ceremony.Wreaths of remembrance areplaced one at a time around thestone tomb. The wreaths are con-tributed by descendants and theirfamilies, and are laid in place bySons of the Republic of Texas(SRT).
The first Texas Heroes Daywas started in 1849, one year af-ter the remains of the DawsonMassacre victims and the BlackBean Death Lottery were re-in-terred on Monument Hill.
Family members and survivingsoldiers then gathered at the tombto honor the dead heroes, and soonit became a reunion of Texas ser-vicemen. That tradition continuesto this day. Texas Heroes day paysrespect to and honors all Texasveterans.
and period crafts. A favorite ac-tivity that children always seemto enjoy is shelling ear corn be-fore grinding to make corn meal.
The Texas Parks and WildlifeDepartment also will have a dis-play on archeology.
Texas Heroes Day events ac-tually start Friday night with aprogram at 6:30 p.m. at the Fay-ette Public Library, Museum andArchives in La Grange. Twomembers of the Daughters of theRepublic of Texas (DRT) will puton their sunbonnets, long skirtsand aprons to portray some of thescenes in Sunbonnet Angels, abook by Jo White of La Grange.

EDITOR’S NOTE: To com-memorate the 175th anniver-sary of Fayette County, the fol-lowing article published in theFootprints of Fayette column inAugust 2001 is being reprinted.
Did you ever wonder how andwhen Fayette County was orga-nized? What distant events in ourstate’s history would shape “oldLa Fayette’s” boundaries, as weknow them today?
In the days when Texas landswere still a part of Mexico, it waspolitically divided into governingmunicipalities. Two of these cov-ered the entire lower Colorado andBrazos River basins.
Mina formed the upper district,with its southern boundary nearLa Grange and the La Bahia Road.From there, the Municipality ofMatagorda ran all the way to theGulf of Mexico.
The boundaries for these mu-nicipalities were often alignedwith the river drainage systems,forming the basis for future landsurveys. Much later, in North andWest Texas, counties would besurveyed in a north-south, east-west orientation.
When the Republic of Texaswas founded in 1836, the Countyof Bastrop was organized at thesouthern end of the Municipalityof Mina, with Colorado Countybeing formed at the upper end ofthe old Municipality ofMatagorda. La Grange and the LaBahia Road again formed thenatural boundary between thesetwo new counties.
The Second Congress of theRepublic of Texas authorized theorganization of Fayette County onDecember 14, 1837.
According to Weyand andWade’s An Early History of Fay-ette County, “The petition pre-sented by Judge James Lester,Andrew Rabb and John Moorerequested that the district near thedividing line between the countiesof Bastrop and Colorado beformed into a county to be knownas Fayette in honor of the Marquisde La Fayette, who had so mate-rially aided the American Colo-nists earlier in their struggle forindependence”.
With five counties sharing itsborders, our newly organizedcounty was somewhat larger insize than it is today. As the popu-lation of Texas continued to grow,boundaries changed, and newcounties were formed. In 1846,Fayette would give up some of itsterritory to a new neighbor to thesouthwest, Lavaca. Again in 1874,the newly organized county of Leeto our north would take anotherchunk of God’s country.
Today, Fayette County is 934square miles in size and almost 47miles across at the widest point.She is traversed by the ColoradoRiver, which divides it into twonearly equal parts.
Our neighboring counties,starting to the north are Lee,Washington, Austin, Colorado,Lavaca, Gonzales, Caldwell andBastrop.

Governor goeson business-luring trip
By ED STERLING
AUSTIN — Maryland is the next state in Gov.Rick Perry’s sights. He’s already been to Califor-nia, Connecticut, Missouri and New York to courtbusinesses, hoping they will pull up stakes and headto the Lone Star State.
Perry announced on Sept. 12 that he would bein Maryland on Sept. 18 to make his pitch. To pre-pare Maryland for his arrival, a 60-second radioad and 30-second TV ad are running in severalmarkets.
“The ads showcase the opportunities and free-dom available to families and businesses thanks toTexas’ smart fiscal policies,” the governor’s officestated, adding, the nearly $500,000 television andradio ad buys and the governor’s trip are paid forby “TexasOne” and “no state tax dollars were tobe used for his travel and accommodations, or forthe ad buy.”
TexasOne, according to information attexasone.com, raises money to fund “specialevents, outreach programs, and other exciting andhighly visible marketing and communications pro-grams. These programs are directed at a targetedaudience of corporate decision makers and site se-lectors.”
An excerpt of what Perry says in one advertise-ment is this: “Unfortunately, your governor hasmade Maryland the tax and fee state, where busi-nesses and families are paying some of the highesttaxes in America. Since taking office in 2007, he’sapproved 40 new taxes and fees, projected to costyou $9.5 billion more through 2014. That’s a jobkiller. …”
The Baltimore Sun, in a Sept. 12 news articleabout Perry’s planned visit, quoted a spokeswomanfor Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. She referredto the visit as a “job-poaching expedition.”
Justice Hecht Gets PromotedGov. Perry on Sept. 10 announced the appoint-
ment of Justice Nathan L. Hecht of Austin as chiefjustice of the Supreme Court of Texas, effectiveOct. 1.
Hecht, set to serve as the court’s 27th chief jus-tice, succeeds Wallace B. Jefferson, who announcedhis resignation earlier this month.

announced the state sales tax revenue in Augustwas $2.39 billion, up 2.1 percent compared to Au-gust 2012.
“The latest monthly gains were led by sectorssuch as construction and the restaurant industry,”Combs said. “For the recently ended fiscal year,state sales tax revenue totaled $25.8 billion, an in-crease of 7.2 percent from fiscal 2012. Both busi-ness and consumer spending contributed to thegains for the year.”

Robotic Tuna Checks HullA six-foot-long robotic fish designed to detect
contraband hidden on a ship’s hull is being testedon the hull of the Battleship Texas, the museumship docked at the San Jacinto State Historic sitein La Porte.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department on Sept.11 reported that the fish, going by the name ofBIOSwimmer, “is a highly maneuverable, un-manned underwater vehicle that is equipped witha sophisticated suite of sensors and embodies thenatural shape of a tuna.”
A test team, the agency said, planted packages“of mock contraband of varying sizes in tight, hard-to-reach spaces on the battleship’s hull and put-ting the BIOSwimmer through the paces to see ifit can successfully detect them.”
A heavy-gunned dreadnought class vessel thatserved in World War I and World War II, the Battle-ship Texas “is showing us that you’re never tooold to be of service to your country,” said AndySmith, the ship manager for Texas Parks & Wild-life.

Hauling papers in a MorrisMinor while racing a Volvo
By WILLIS WEBB
Amazingly some of us manageto live into at least “early old age”despite some risky (add “dumb”)shenanigans in which we involvedourselves.
Being an inveterate storyteller,some “set-up” is in-volved be-fore gettingto the point ofthe story ofthe pointlessrace betweenthe Morris
Minor (driven by me while “haul-ing papers”) and the Volvo.
Let’s say the race is reminis-cent of an old Laurel and Hardymovie.
If you don’t know whom Lau-rel and Hardy are, ask your kids.They’ve probably seen the oldblack and white comedy one-reel-ers of the slender Englishmen StanLaurel and the pudgy,mustachioed American OliverHardy on Saturday mornings. Ifthat doesn’t do it, think one word:slapstick.
Naturally, we need appropriatemusic for this old-fashioned, shortflick. So, maestro, tune up the or-chestra and be sure your pianist isthe best rinky-tink ivory tickleravailable.
Start off slowly, with a softhigh-note boogie woogie soundand we’ll build from there.
As a University of Houstoncollege senior in the summer of1959, I shifted to a night classschedule so I could take a full timejob as general manager of TheGalena Park Reporter, circulatedin that suburb along the HoustonShip Channel. The Reporter was
owned by Rigby Owen Sr., pub-lisher of The Conroe Courier, andBilly I. Ross, a professor in theUH journalism department.
Since my old rusted-out 1952Chevy two-door was on its lastleg, I went to a Galena Park deal-ership and bought a brand newskipper blue 1960 Morris Minor2-door sedan, a British MotorCorp. (pip-pip, cheerio, etc.) prod-uct. The little 4-cylinder MorrisMinor was, I believe, meant tocompete with the GermanVolkswagen “beetle,” which be-gan taking America by stormabout that time. It carried with ita note with 36 “easy” installments.
My Morris was equipped witha pair of bucket seats in front, abench seat in the back and, con-sidering it was a small car, a siz-able trunk. I figured I could fillthe entire car except the driver’sseat and the motor with the tab-loid Reporter and easily make thehaul back to Galena Park.
I’d made several of those roundtrip hauls and had the car brokenin pretty well when one Wednes-day I was driving the printed prod-uct back to Galena Park along I-45. I’m in the right lane and, hon-estly, going a bit above the postedspeed limit.
Okay, maestro, now’s the timefor some ominous music (a blus-tery deep bass note combination)instead of that soft rinky-tink pi-ano in the background.
A furrin-looking car (I forgot Iwas driving a British import)zipped by me on the left. Thedriver stuck one hand up and sig-naled to me he thought I was 1-year-old. Well, that did it. I tookoff after him, floor-boarding thelittle Morris, not realizing I waschasing a durn Swedish Volvo.
But, I caught up with him. He’sin the right lane now and I moveup even with him on his left. Andgrin.
He gains about a quarter car(Volvo size) lead and I push harderon my gas pedal, pulling evenagain
We zoom along, front wheel tofront wheel, for a minute, then myalmost-new Morris Minor beginsmissing and the Volvo pulls awaywith the driver again signaling methat he thinks I’m a baby.
By now, my car’s sputtering sothat I think, “Omigawd, I’ve got32 payments left. I can’t afford toblow the engine.”
With that, I pulled onto theshoulder, cautiously left the en-gine running. I got out, went to thefront of the car and raised thehood. The oil cap, which has awire welded to the top and is thenattached to the engine block, hadpopped off.
However, the wire kept the capfrom falling off the block and un-der the vehicle. So, the cap wasbouncing back and forth, alter-nately hitting the tops of two sparkplugs, which created a miss in theengine.
I thanked my lucky stars, re-placed the cap and continued myappointed rounds, glad that it hadnot been a costly incident.
From that point on, I resistedall challenges, even from VWs.

Our readers write:Is piping water for all of the people?Dear Editor:
I have never written a letter to the editor in mylife, but here goes.
I have recently become involved and want tomake a difference in my community. Where I grewup in upstate New York, there is so much rain thatdepleting a water aquifer is not an issue!
But here there are profiteers who are trying touse taxpayer dollars to build pipelines to transferwater from our aquifer without concern for what itcould do to our community.
Someone tell me who thought this was a goodidea, especially in a state that is in perpetualdrought. If you have a well, I am sure you alreadyknow the effects of a pipeline going in. If you don’thave a well, it still affects the health of our landand can raise your water rates.
Just to give you an idea, Proposition 6 on theNovember ballot involves giving $2 billion on topof $6 billion already passed by voters in 2011. Whyis the legislature asking for more money when theyhaven’t spent one dime of the $6 billion to floatbonds that we gave them in 2011?
I think what they’re doing is trying to get betterterms on “free money” — this $2 billion will comefrom our Rainy Day Fund.
There is always going to be a crook around totake advantage when the masses aren’t looking. Ijust wish … well my magic wand is in the shop. Ifyou say to yourself “I would like to do somethingto ensure my grandchildren have water, but whatcan I do? I do not know enough about it to make adifference.”
Come to the Independent Texans Conventionon Saturday at the Bastrop Convention Center andlearn about what’s happening. Also, visitwww.indytexans.com
Republicans, Democrats and Independents arecoming together to make a difference, I am tellingyou now that you should be concerned and startcaring! Be the change you want to see! Get inspiredand act.
For all of the people for crying out loud!

By CHAD FERGUSONBanner Press Editor
BRYAN — It had been sevenyears since the Cougars lastopened a season with threestraight wins.
Brazos, under first-year headcoach Mike Bonewald, had hopedto duplicate the feat against theAnderson-Shiro Owls in an early-season showdown of unbeatenslast Saturday night at Baker Fieldon the campus of Allen Academyin Bryan.
But the Owls scored on theirfirst four possessions of the gameto mount a 30-6 lead andoutscored Brazos 52-32 to im-prove to 3-0.
“It’s the same speech (everytime). It’s not what’s on the score-board or our record … we want tocontinue to improve and play welltogether,” said Bonewald. “It’show we respond and get thingsgoing in the right direction.”
After wins over preseason
ranked Burton and Louise inwhich the Cougars outscored theiropponents 43-21, Brazos had theirmost productive offensive show-

allowed A-S to rush for 634 yardsand the Owls had three backseclipsed the 100-yard barrier.
“I thought we came out flatand we could make all kinds ofexcuses,” said Bonewald. “But thenext time we (coaches) will havethem mentally ready to play.”
Offensively, quarterback ChrisDemny, and his receiving core ofJohn Vasquez, Dillon Gonzalesand Ryan Brzozowski gave theOwls fits.
Demny finished with 299yards through the air, completing28 of 41 passes, but was inter-cepted twice.
Both Vasquez and Gonzalesfinished with 10 catches each,with Vasquez having 120 yardsand a touchdown and Gonzalesowning 86 yards and three scores.
Brzozowski finished the fivereceptions for 52 yards and wason the receiving end of a two-point conversion.
A-S took the game’s openingkickoff and marched 63 yards in10 plays to gain an early 6-0 lead.
But the Cougars respondedwith a 75-yard drive of their ownin eight snaps to tie the game at6-6 after both teams failed to con-vert the extra-point kick.
Demny connected withVasquez for a 10-yard strike withfive minutes, 32 seconds remain-ing in the opening quarter.
The Owls scored on their nextthree possessions to open a 30-8lead.
Brazos rallied to within 30-20before intermission on Demny’s15-yard pass to Luis Viera and 12-yarder to Gonzales. Demny andBrzozowski teamed for the two-point conversion after Viera’s TDcatch.
After A-S added two third-quarter touchdowns to increase itsmargin to 44-20, the Cougars con-tinued to battle and scored on two11-yard passes from Demny toGonzales.
The Cougars’ final score camewith 5:05 remaining in the game.

Cardinals explode to pinRice with third straight loss
By CHAD FERGUSONBanner Press Editor
ALTAIR — The Cardinals andRaiders were knotted at 8-8 aftereach team had produced a first-quarter touchdown.
But then Columbus explodedfor 38 unanswered points tomount a 46-8 lead and coast to a46-21 victory over their ColoradoCounty rival last Friday night atRice Veterans Memorial Stadiumin Altair.
The win lifted the Cardinals’season record to 2-1 and markedthe first time since 2010 Colum-bus has won two of its first three
games.Rice, on the other hand, con-
tinues to search for answers. TheRaiders dropped to 0-3 and havebeen outscored 155-97.
But the losses have comeagainst St. Thomas, a TAPPS Di-vision I area finalist a year ago;Luling, who made its first appear-ance in the Harris RatingsWeekly’s Class 2A Division I top10 this week; and much improvedColumbus under first-year headcoach Tony Valastro.
And it doesn’t get any easier,as Rice hits the highway to EastBernard this week to battle de-fending Class 2A Division I cham-pion and Harris Ratings Weekly’sNo. 1 ranked team.
The Raiders are 0-3 for the firsttime since 1996 when Riceopened the season with eightstraight losses and finished 1-9.
Although Raiders head coachGary Zeinert would much rathersee the tables turned, he has notbeen discouraged by his team’scontinuous effort.
“There’s one thing for certain.… these kids don’t quit,” he said.“I promise you. They will play ashard as they can for four quarters.It’s not in their DNA to quit.
“Right now, I am concerned
about everything, but that’s a typi-cal head coach. We are giving upway too many big plays on de-fense, our offense is making mis-takes and we continue to miss ex-tra points.
“We have to keep grinding. Weare playing some good people,”Zeinert said. “We have to believeby the time district gets here wewill be battle tested and ready tocompete for a playoff spot.”
Valastro had plenty of praisefor his Cardinals, but knows theywill have to continue to improveto get ready for a tough District25-3A schedule.
“I thought we played and ex-ecuted much better than we didlast week (in a 28-14 loss to state-ranked La Grange). Our effort wasthere, but we made too many mis-take,” said Valastro.
“We want to run a first-classprogram and do things the rightway. Our goal is to improve eachweek and I think we have contin-ued to do that.”
The two quarterbacks — seniorTyson Simcik of Columbus andRice junior Jordan Johnson —provided the spark for both teams.
Simcik had the upper hand. Hecompleted seven of 11 passes for234 yards and three touchdowns,
and also rushed 14 times for 57yards and three touchdowns andfive two-point conversions.
Johnson countered with 131yards and two touchdownsthrough the air, completing 14 of28 of his attempts. He added 126yards on 19 carries on the groundand that includes three sacks for32 yards.
Columbus speedster RoyceCaldwell caught Simcik’s firsttwo TD strikes covering 16 and73 yards, while Eugene Shorterwas on the receiving end of theother for 6 yards.
After the Cardinals built a 46-8 lead after three quarters,Johnson connected with HunterPakebusch for 15 yards andTurner Mattoon for 6 yards in thefinal period.
Greg Roy scored the Raiders’first touchdown and then ran forthe two-point conversion with 8minutes, 27 seconds left in theopening period to tie the gameonly 40 seconds after Simcik andCaldwell had teamed for their 16-yard score.
Simcik ran for the first of hisfive two-point conversions afterthe strike to give Columbus a brief8-0 lead.
Tyson Simcik, left, accounted for six touchdowns and five two-point con-versions and Royce Caldwell caught two scoring passes against Rice.Banner Press Photos by Donnie Rollins
