Richards ISD to celebrate centennial By Connie Clements Examiner Reporter Calling all alumni of the Richards Independent School District! Dust off those school days memories and join your classmates for a weekend of reminiscing and celebrating Richards ISD’s 100th anniversary. The school district and community volunteers have joined forces to fill in the gaps of “lost years” of the district’s history so that it can be preserved for future generations. Margaret Bailey, one of several
event coordinators, said the centennial celebration will kick off with a program at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016, with finger foods and light beverages in what Richards ISD Superintendent Martey Ainsworth called “an open history lesson, so to speak, to continue to get information.” The Richards PTO will offer lunch for $10 per person after Sunday’s 9:30 a.m. devotional. Proceeds from the lunch as well as T-shirt sales will be reinvested in the district priSee RICHARDS Page 7a

A Category 3 Hurricane hit the coast causing wide spread damage and a massive exodus of residents north by those living in the storm’s path: This was the scenario for the South Texas Section Amateur Radio Emergency Services (HAM operators) Fall 2016 Simulated Emergency Test Exercise this past weekend began. Throughout the half-day Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) drill, HAMs from around the state of Texas met to test their abilities to connect to one another and to relay messages to others in safe locations. The Grimes County Amateur Radio Club Group (GCARCG) joined manpower with the Brazos County ARES members to learn and participate in the mock
emergency drill. Had it been a true drill, each club would be expected to meet (deploy), if possible, to their County Emergency Operation Command Center. For the Brazos County ARES group, that would be an underground bunker in Bryan; however, for the Grimes County Club, that
would be in Anderson. Each area has access to a strong signal tower called a Repeater and other antennas and equipment. The taller the Repeater the farther the signal and messages can transmit to other towers and users. Members of the GCARCG, Mike Silcox Grimes County president, call sign KG5FAB, Dominick Adamo, Grimes County Secretary, call sign, KG5JRA, and his wife Sarah, Deborah Richardson, club treasurer, call sign N5SCI, and Larry Smith, call sign W5LAS, worked closely with those assembled from the Brazos County ARES club to test the response times and capabilities for of the disaster event. The Brazos ARES leadership was instrumental in setting up the drill site as well as trouble shooting See HAM Page 7a
Brenham film company boon to surrounding area By Connie Clements Examiner reporter Thanks to the efforts of one Texas producer and our state’s second look at “film friendly” incentives, Brenham and surrounding communities may soon get an economic shot in the arm.

Many moons ago, before the invention of Ritalin or the Internet, a young, broke college student named Roberto Antonio Smiley signed up for a stand-up competition at his Student Union Building. The prize money was $500, which was nearly 5 months’ rent for the "efficiency" closet Smiley was living in at the time. Though he had never stepped on a stage, and the only prior laughs he had gotten were due to his colossal leprechaun ears, he went for the gold. When he arrived, his only competition was a grown man wearing an oversized sombrero with no act... so... he won the money and the tender hearts of his fellow students. The rest is history. Since that incredibly average performance, Roberto shortened his name to "Bob" and started a caffeine-induced tour spreading laughter and gaiety to the masses. As a novice jokester, Smiley honed his talents as the merchandise-managing MC for bands like Newsboys, Third Day, and Mercy Me. Sixteen years later, Bob is now one of the nation's most in-demand and hilarious clean comedians and he absolutely loves his job, no matter how many times his father challenges its legitimacy as a career choice.

Dracula gets Southern flair in NTA production We Can Help You…
By Carol Herrington Correspondent Mint Juleps are not needed to enjoy this uproarious fast-moving, twoact play where the diabolical Count Dracula comes to the Deep South where most everyone is definitely clueless and innocent. Oblivious to the systematic chain of events indicative of something going astray, the citizens and occupants of the Stewart Plantation tick off the maladies of the two damsels of distress to one another but can’t make 2+2=the misbehaving Count. Not until Col. Van Helsing, portrayed by Dan Paul, does the Yankee-originating Count Dracula, played by David Brown, begin to point to the supernatural. Mina, played by Paula Countryman, is the first Southern Belle to fall prey to the maniacal but charismatic Count; then, her best friend Lucy, played by Taylor Smith, begins suffering the same fate. Set in present day Dixie, the play was originally written in 1980, and first-time Navasota Theater Alliance Director, Jane Brewer, has brought the play current to the 21st century. Although, subtle inferences to longago television shows were left in and bring out the “ahh, I remember that” moments. The play appeals to the younger and older generation with the acting talents of the cast. Set in the palatial home
of Doc Stewart, played by Grant Holt, where insanity and innocence rule at the same time is the primary setting of the first half. Doc Stewart is anxiously awaiting the visit of Van Helsing to identify, and hopefully cure, the two young women in his charge. Mina, his niece, and Lucy, the fiancé of Bobby Joe, played by Scott McDuffie. The Count himself is now a guest at the plantation after his home is inundated with plumbing issues forcing him to find dwelling at his neighbor’s home, which is now into its first month. Mina’s symptoms, as ticked off by the Doc, are crazy dreams about “Mick Janner” with searing red eyes, along with fatigue, that according to the Doc, “even industrial strength Geritol won’t work.” Throw in the “lampinphobia” (sic), a fear of lights, and the endless pints of blood transfusions, the Doc has been unwittingly feeding his other guest, the Count, when transfusing Mina. The quick thinking, ESP and supernatural believing, Van Helsing, snaps open his medical bag and promptly puts the 2+2=Dracula formula. However, in his bags of tricks to ward off the Count, are not the traditional tools of the trade. The three men are constantly interrupted in their planning of the demise of the Count, by the Count’s

Brewer She caught the acting (and singing) bug when she was 7 years old in the church choir. Once bound for a career in Opera in Europe, the first-time director changed her mind once economics set in and she discovered the pay would be lower in Europe. She stayed state side and became a music teacher, producing musicals starring her pupils. Brewer has worked her way up in NTA, first as a patient with “seven small lines” in the Sunshine Boys, then as an actor and stage manager and Music Director for the kids and teen camps this past summer. “Playing different roles

has helped me in directing,” Brewer said. “Directing is complex. You have to balance the needs of the people and the business office. The resources of a community theatre is not unlimited, so I am always looking for ways to make the budget stretch.” Patrons of the NTA will recognize the furniture and wallpaper in the Dracula in Dixie from previous performances. The two-act, fast-moving play, “The Count will Rise Again: Dracula in Dixie” opens Oct. 6 on the Navasota Theater Alliance stage, 104 Washington Ave. The three-week event is suitable for the entire family, and runs through Oct. 23. A costume contest is Oct. 8 at 6 p.m. The Dinner Theatre on Oct. 15 begins at 5:45 p.m. and is catered by D’Vine Cuisine; tickets are $30.

Paxton loses bid to stop transfer By PatriCk Svitek The Texas Tribune AUSTIN — Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday lost his last-minute bid for a court injunction to prevent the federal government from transferring its oversight of internet registrations to an international body. Hours before the transition was set to take effect, a federal judge in Galveston ruled against Paxton and three other state attorneys general who had asked him to temporarily halt the transfer while they pursue a lawsuit challenging it. The four sued the federal government late Wednesday after Republicans in Congress, led by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, failed to halt the transfer. At midnight Friday, the United States is set to cede control of the internet’s domain system — essentially its address book — to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. Critics say the move could open up the internet to
censorship by unfriendly countries, while administration officials and many tech industry heavyweights say such concerns are misinformed. In a statement late Friday, a Paxton spokesman called the ruling disappointing. “It’s a dire day in our country when the president is allowed to unilaterally give away America’s pio-

Insanity and hilarity reign in the "The Count will Rise Again, Dracula in Dixie", which opens Thursday, Oct. 6, at the Navasota Theatre, 101 Washington Ave. Insane patient and Stewart Plantation guest and side kick, Renfield, played by Jared Gouchenour, drives his master, played by David Brown, to the edge of sanity.
New director brings count to life By Carol Herrington Correspondent Going from six small lines in the Sunshine Boys, Webb Elementary fifthgrade teacher Jane Brewer transforms the notorious Count Dracula of Transylvania fame into Count Dracula from Pennsylvania, now living in the heart of the Deep South. Two years later, Brewer is directing the hilarious antics of innocent genteel folks who are up against the charming but devious wiles of Count Dracula, who has escaped a demise in Pennsylvania, and is now living in the lap of luxury at the Stewart Plantation. Brewer, who has a master’s degree in vocal performance from the University of Houston, took a stage management course as part of her curriculum. She has also played a number of roles in every play in production at NTA since joining the community theatre group in August 2014.

neering role in ensuring that the internet remains a place where free expression can flourish,” the statement read. “We will continue to weigh our options as the suit moves forward.” Among other things, Paxton’s lawsuit argues the move violates the property clause of the U.S. Constitution by giving away government property without congressional authorization.

This is your chance to share your thoughts on what you would like to see in our next NISD superintendent. On Thursday, Oct. 6, TASB Executive Search Services will be hosting several sessions throughout the day and evening to get feedback from the community, administration, staff, all employees of the district and the school board. Having the community get involved in this is important to the school board. Please attend the allotted times that are posted in The Examiner and on the district website. It’s important that you attend the times posted for your defined group so that no
NISD Corner By Greg Mock one will feel intimidated and unable to speak freely on their thoughts for qualifications of our next superintendent. By design, board members are encouraged not to attend sessions other than the board meeting so that we can have a candid look at what others throughout the district want. Likewise, administrators are encouraged not to attend the teacher time slots and so on. If you
cannot attend the sessions, there is a survey on the website that all are welcomed to fill out. All of this information will be analyzed and taken in to consideration. Of course each one of the school board members’ email are available on the website as well. As we continue through this process, I encourage all who are truly interested to attend the regular and special meetings that we will be conducting in the coming months. Ultimately at the end of the process, the board will gather all the information and hear all the interviews and it will be up to us to choose the very best fit for NISD.
There is a reason we elect a board of seven to govern the district. Important decisions like this need to be made by responsible individuals who truly have the best interest of the district at heart. This board is a diverse group spanning ethnicity, race, gender and age. With the help of our community, I know we will make the best choice. We are reaching out to the community. Be a part of the solution. We Are Navasota. Greg Mock is president of the Navasota School Board.
Meanwhile, back at the capitol ... The ridiculousness of the current presidential election is continuing apace, so much so that it makes me wonder if our politicians, running or otherwise, actually know or care about the issues that face our nation. Nothing in our current candidates’ soundbytes indicate they are even aware of the latest actions of our sitting demagogue-inchief, Barack Obama, who intends to hand over control of the internet to a multinational group. Not our current candidate, nor our sitting solons, not anyone, with the exception of Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has tried to stop this action. The president seems to feel that the internet belongs to everybody. While that may be true, then it stands to reason that giving control of IP addresses and domain names to a group of politicians only will mean that there will be controls and rules added which will make surfing less easy. As it has been said by numerous people in numerous ways, those who control a thing have the power to destroy a thing. And the freedom you now enjoy as you look up recipes and flame conservatives on Facebook will be gone. That might sound dire, and it probably is, but it has to — must — be a concern
Publisher Comment
By Tony Farkas to us, to everyone, that enjoys free speech and unfettered access to the information beast. To my mind, though, is this: why are American interests routinely suborned to world domination? Who is our president that he can blithely allow this to happen, and not fight to maintain our supremacy, even for something a seemingly trivial as this? For some states, including Texas, this isn’t a trivial matter, as four Attorneys General have filed suit. According to former Ambassador John Bolton, in speaking to Breitbart News, the long-term effects of this handover will be devastating. It should go without saying, but I’m saying it anyway, that Congress should have done something about this when it had the chance. Yet in another stunning, as well as unsurprising, display of the disconnect between our leaders and us the people, nothing got done, and we are the poorer for us.
Another example of government gone wild is the $1.7 billion payment to Iran, ostensibly for reimbursement of equipment that was ordered but never delivered, but sent to a regime that is without a doubt rushing headlong into area nuclear superiority and has pretty much promised death to America. This was done without oversight, and without approval of Congress, or even informing the American people. Things seem to be spiraling more and more out of our control, and we are less and less able to effect change on our government. That right there is the reason why the populist
movement, which is propelling candidate Donald Trump into the stratosphere, has grown by leaps and bounds. There’s no trust anymore. Both parties are calling Trump unfit for leadership, but is it truly a reflection of his ability, or just last-ditch efforts by a failing bureaucracy trying to maintain control of a monstrosity of its own design? We’re not providing consent of any kind. We’re being told how we need to live our lives, and in many ways, treated like the sheep we’ve become by allowing this to happen. It’s time to take that back.

She spent many years working in retail and at Texas A&M for several years also. She was employed with Hospice
Ausby Brazos Valley until her health failed. La Shondra enjoyed shopping. She would shop for many family and friends members. She would go shopping day and night especially at Ross. It really didn’t matter what the items were she loved going walking through the area shopping malls. Spending time with her family and friends had given her so much joy. MeMe was the kind of person that was a true friend with all her family and friends (she would stick by you until the end, no matter what you needed if she could help you she would).
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Myrtle Venters and John Lattimore Sr.; maternal great-grandmother Roxie and John Henderson; one uncle, John Lattimore Jr.; two aunts, Helen Jean Williams and Geraldine Thomas; and one sister, Guterriez Lattimore.

Arrangments are entrusted with Lewis Funeral Home and Chapel 509 South Baylor in Brenham.
SOURCES OF MONEY FOR FUNERAL One or more sources are generally available to help defray funeral expenses. These include third party sources such as life insurance, liability insurance payments, governmental allowances for members of the Armed forces, veterans, Social Security, workers’ compensation and welfare. Also available to many are union and fraternal benefits. post-death Most expenditures are at least in part paid from personal funds of family. Some people prearrange and prefinance their funeral and final disposition of the deceased. There may be specially designated insurance. Two basic kinds of insurance are: (1) funeral
insurance which provides funds to pay for a funeral; and (2) burial insurance which provides a specific funeral (facilities, services and merchandise). A word of caution: Many allowances and benefits are payable only to the extent that they reimburse for actual funeral expenses.

It’s been TEN YEARS since that day, The day that Bright Light took you away. We were all going to be home soon, When we got that terrible news. You were so young at just twenty-one, And we all wonder why, why this one? There’s not a day that goes by, That we still ask why, why? Day after day we talk to you, Night after night, we weep for you. And then we remember that it is God’s Heavenly plan, And that one day we will be happy and together again. For you are a special ANGEL in Heaven, that is apart of us, And it is not where we wanted you, but where in God we trust. You touched the hearts of many, like only an ANGEL can do, We would have held you every minute, if we only knew. So, We send this special message to the Heaven up above, Please take care of our ANGEL and send him our love. We Love and Miss You So Very Much, Your Family and Friends

Keep Ruger Safe For the four little boys who were scared and lost in Bastrop County, Ruger will always be their four-legged hero. As the search stretched for hours into a cold winter night, local law enforcement authorities turned to Texas Game Wardens. Game Warden Christy Vales responded with her canine partner, Ruger. After the boys had been lost for more than seven hours, Ruger nosed his way to the shivering and frightened youngsters, who were then safely reunited with their parents. Ruger and nine other hard-working dogs in the Texas Game Warden K-9 Unit provide search and rescue services across Texas. Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation provided funds to form the K-9 Unit in 2013. Now the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation is raising funds to make sure the canine game wardens have the specialized safety equipment they need, over and above their standard-issue equipment. These dogs work all hours, in all seasons, and don’t stop until the job is done. In the brutal heat of a Texas summer, a search and rescue mission can become a dangerous operation. Dogs are prone to heat exhaustion because they don’t sweat like humans do, so the foundation is raising money to provide cooling vests for these hard-working canines. For $3,000 the foundation can outfit all ten dogs with cooling vests that will ensure their safety on even the hottest Texas day. All money raised will be used for cooling vests and other needed safety equipment for the Texas Game Warden K9 Unit.

Youth ‘scout’ the airwaves with HAM radio By Carol Herrington Correspondent Helping a little old lady across the street, arts, search and rescue and merit badges have a new patch of distinction in Navasota — HAM operations. The newly formed Grimes County Amateur Radio Group (GCARG) is sponsoring Navasota Boy Scout Troop 361 and the Adventure Crew 361. Members of the troops will be learning HAM operations and earning a patch in HAM radio operations. Over a four- to six-week period, middle-school and high-school young people will learn about HAM operations and how to build a receiver as part of their foray into the decades-old art of communication via band waves. The troop meets Monday nights at 6:30 p.m. in Whitehall at the Community Center. The plan is to meet once a week. Assistant Troop Leader and GCARG Secretary Dominick Adamo, call sign KG5JRA, is leading the course. Assisting Adamo is Deborah Richardson, GCARG Treasurer, call sign N5SCI. There is no age requirement to become a HAM operator. There are many minors who are
HAMs. To participate in the troop, contact Boy Scout Master Randall Stiner by email at assistantscoutmastertroop361@yahoo.com. Troop members will be participating in a nationwide Jamboree on the AIR that runs Oct. 14-16; the free local Jamboree on the Air in Navasota will start at 9 a.m. and occur only on Oct. 15 at the Navasota Center. This will coincide with the new GCARG meeting, which will be having their monthly meetings at the same location the third Saturday every month starting at 10 a.m. in Meeting Room A. The club’s web address is http://www.gcarg.org. “We will bring our laptops for the Internet online option and our cars and trucks that are equipped with HAM radios,” said Adamo. “We want to the children, not only from our troop, but anyone else who wants to participate, to have as many opportunities as possible to talk to others on the air. We will have a licensed tech so that we can broadcast over the air. The kids will be able to talk to anyone all over the world online using an Echolink.” The children will love it said Richardson. Adamo noted there are over 5,200 amateur radio operations
online at any given time. “The kids are very excited and they asked a lot of great questions,” said Richardson. “It is nice to see girls get into the technical aspects of any field, but especially HAM operations, which has been traditionally a male dominated field of communications.” The purpose of the badge is to learn about HAM operations, said Adamo. It is called the Radio merit badge and is inclusive of broadcast radio, hobby radio (i.e, HAM), emergency communications, short wave and general radio, he said. Les Watson, call sign KE5VPY, a GCARG member, gave the 12-plus youth a brief history of HAM operations on the first night. “We are focusing on the HAM, CB aspect,” Adamo said. “These are considered the Hobby Radio Services. “The first night we talked about how your cell phone is also a radio, as is most anything with remote signal radio waves, like your TV remote. Anything with electromagnetic waves can be a radio; it just depends on whether it is a receiver or a sender or both.” Different members of the club have donated crystal radio kits for the project, and Matt Silcox, call sign
K5MBS, also a co-founder of GCARG, has donated license books for those wanting to become licensed as a HAM operator. In the book, there are instructions for how to build a HAM radio. There are three levels of licensing and each cost about $15 per test. The Technician License is the entry level. The licenses are good for 10 years. “Crystal kits are kits from which you can build a HAM radio. The kits got their names from crystals that were interchanged in the mechanism for broadcasting and receiving – they used real crystal quartz,” said Adamo. The kits are also referred to as foxhole radio, said Silcox. Foxhole radios were first used by soldiers in World War II, specifically at Anzio, later spreading across the European and Pacific theaters. Those were similar to the crystal radios but could operate with a razor blade, safety pin, toilet paper, etc. “If we build the kit from the book, then the radio will not have a power source, but they can receive communication, just not transmit,” said Richardson, adding, that only licensed HAM operations can transmit on the ham bands (designated air waves).”
HAM
The drill also had a representative from MARS: Military Amateur Radio System. MARS is primarily used to transmit messages between military basis and military personnel to their families stateside. The drill is normally twice a year and is meant to highlight failings as well as successes. The purpose is to have all HAMs ready for a disaster – manmade or natural. “During the May tornados that hit this area, some HAMs got on the air and were able to help a State Trooper in Summerville pinpoint the exact tracking of the storm,” said Tally, the Brazos County ARES coordinator for the drill held Saturday, Sept. 24. In Grimes County, the ARES designated representative is Dominick Adamo, call sign KG5JRA, Secretary for GCARCG. “Today, all the forms and processes are stan-
dardized; unlike in the old days when everyone was using their own codes,” said Silcox, adding, “These forms can be embedded in air waves and transmitted when other means of communication are down.” In the case of a real emergency, the exact series of events are recorded and placed on a Situation Report “Sit Report” 213. Events start with set up of a radio and access the designated radio wave band – for the Emergency Operation Command HAM. Just as an in a real-life disaster, the HAMs sat around the table and recorded the information as it came into the “Command Center”. Information would include blocked roads, power status, cell tower status, internet status, and a lot more such as shelters need, fatalities, injuries, etc. “There is a chain of command for collecting
the information and having it transmitted,” said Mike Wisby, call sign KA5HIA, Associate Division Director for Texas A&M Engineering, TEEX, Extension Service. “It is local (surrounding cities) through the County Judge to the DDC (Disaster District Command Center) to the State.”
recent credit is in Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary Hillary’s America. Photos and other memorabilia at Burger’s production office chronicle his colorful life rubbing shoulders with some of Hollywood’s most popular and talented actors over the past three decades – Sam Elliott, Charlton Heston, Matthew McConaughey and Billy Bob Thornton, to name a few. Notable film credits as a stunt man, actor or producer include Magnificent Seven, Planet of the Apes, The Newton Gang, True Grit, The Hunger Games and Two for Texas.
“We would have been way into this project with building but Brenham, and I’m sure a lot of you, had a ton of rain back in May with the 22 inches of rain in this area that shut us down. God covered my rear again. It would have set me back terrible and cost a ton of money.” By a ton, Burger means a “movie minute” that can cost $1,200-2,000. The feature film will be followed by a 6-8 episode miniseries based on Brass’s 10 years of research. Burger owns the rights to eight other books that he plans to produce at RB Productions and said, “There will be some nice movies to come out of here.”
From Page 1A some of the technical issues that are want to occur when least desired. Dick Zimmer, Brazos County ARES, call sign W5DZ, was able to use a Wilnlink website to submit messages to the Bryan Command Center, and State Operations Center, while Tom Tally, call sign W5XTT, Brazos County operated alternate radio equipment to stay in contact with others in the Texas and U.S. In a real emergency, the Internet and call towers may not stay intact, so the alternate Amateur Radio system becomes instrumental in maintaining communication outside the disaster zone. The ARES drill test involved both communication equipment options.
Film From Page 1A States resulted in film production seepage to Canada – a loss of revenue as great as $600 million annually to a state. Canada’s 30 percent incentive rate and the exchange of the dollar “wiped us out,” said Burger. “Eventually we did a lot of things to bring people back but Canada still takes a lot of our trade.” Brass explained film production in Texas. “When you qualify for incentives it’s because you are bringing all these people to Texas that are spending money in Texas to make a movie. You have to prove to the State of Texas what you’ve spent and they will determine what they are willing to pay you in incentives based on what money has been spent in Texas regarding your project. You have to meet requirements - 80 percent of workforce is from Texas, spend all of your money with local Texas people and, except for a few of the major actors, everything will be Texas based.” texas boy makes good Burger, an Austin County native combined his childhood dream to be an actor and a pro rodeo cowboy into a career that spans 30-plus years with more than 126 feature films, television commercials and series. His most
Casting underway for Burning This is Burger’s second news conference in Brenham this year. In March he announced his intent to produce The Burning of Brenham based on Washington County resident Sharon Brass’s book about the post-Civil War occupation by Union troops that led to the fatal Sept. 8, 1866, fire. More than 12 businesses, a city block, and the Southern Banner newspaper (now the Brenham Banner Press) were set ablaze resulting in property loss of $3 million by today’s standards. The production team will use Bluebell Creamery’s railroad spur and trestle and film some scenes at Washington-onthe Brazos as well as building their own sets on 106 acres. Burger discussed the recent production setback.
Movie to provide jobs While it’s too soon to predict a release date, casting is going on behind the scenes for major characters like the Giddings Brothers. Names mentioned are veteran actors Nicholas Cage, Robert Duval and Sam Elliott. A casting call for extras will go out online. Aside from cast, RB Productions will employ 300 people that include specialized film crews but

The clubs members act as the eyes and ears of the community to get the official information to the command center and ultimately to the County Judge, said Adamo. Saturday’s drill was a success. The messages were transmitted to Bryan in the expected amount of time. However, all agree more still remains to be done and that will detailed in the analysis of the practice event so that they are prepared for the next tornado, flood, hurricane or manmade disaster. opportunities exist for local carpenters and artisans. Burger said the money spent on dumpsters, porta potty rentals, gasoline, groceries and lodging will have “a great impact” on the local economy. Spreading the wealth Burger wants to use area resources, particularly within a 30-miles radius of Brenham, for future productions. “Our location people will travel, take pictures and log them into our system and we put them in the Texas Film Commission for other production companies to see. We want to shop all of Texas. We’d like to look at everything you have… your downtown, an old homestead you were raised in out in the country. I don’t care what the house or barn looks like, we can fix it and you can make some money.” Burger closed by saying, “I was a local kid. I’ve always dreamed about this. I’m about doing it for the community. I’ll make my money no matter where I’m at but I want it to help people I was raised with in this community and Texas itself.”

Iola overpowers rival Latexo Examiner staff LATEXO — Iola is poised to continue its winning ways through the second half of district play after defeating rival Latexo on Friday in three games. The Lady Bulldogs won 25-17, 25-18, 25-9. Iola is now 7-0 in district play. Head Coach Jamie McDougald said Latexo was a good team, and used its skills to put Iola to the test. “It was a long road trip and the girls were taken by surprise,” she said. “Our defense lagged, as we had more balls hit the See IOLA Page 12a

Tremayne Creeks (No. 1) goes up for a reception during the Thursday game against Bryan.
Navasota shows life in loss to Bryan By Tony Farkas Examiner publisher BRYAN — Despite what the score indicated, the Navasota Rattlers came out a different team in their game against Bryan on Thursday. The Rattlers lost to the Vikings 28-14. Even so, the offense was more focused, the defense was more aggressive, and there were more opportunities to score for Navasota, which has been struggling on both sides of the ball in its tough pre-district schedule. Head Coach Patrick Goodman credits that to a bye week and the return of a key player, running back Keyondrick Philio, who had been sidelined with an eye injury since the Magnolia West game on Sept. 2. “They’re keeping their heads up, they’re not getting down,” he said. “Jabril Hunter just told them the same thing; it’s 0-0 now, and this is when it counts. If we can get it turned around in district, we’ll be fine.” Both teams were held scoreless in the first quarter, and Navasota drew first blood with three minutes gone in the second on a 14yard touchdown reception by Tremayne Creeks. Bryan answered back 2 1/2 minutes later on a short run, which was set up after Navasota fumbled a punt re-
turn. Bryan scored again with 32 seconds left in the half on a one-yard keeper by Viking quarterback Mason Ray. On its first possession in the second half, Navasota knotted the score after 1-yard Philio run. Instead of rolling with the momentum, Bryan’s Ray connects with Joseph Hedge for a 78-yard TD pass with just under two minutes left in the third. The last points of the night came when Bryan’s Roderick Crenshaw picks up a Navasota fumble and runs it back 59 yards for the score. Goodman said the team suffers from mental mistakes. “We drop the punt, they run it back; they get the interception, they run it back,” he said. “There’s two touchdown right there. We come back, we fumble, they run it back, there’s 21 points off of turnovers. “We’ve got a couple of guys with masters in psychology, maybe they can explain it to me and I can explain it to them,” Goodman said. He said they have to start capitalizing on their own turnovers, particularly when facing their next opponent, Huffman Hargrave, who sports a 6 foot 5 inch quarterback and two good receivers. “We have them at home, and we need a win,” Goodman said.

Anderson-Shiro falls to New Waverly Examiner staff NEW WAVERLY — Granted, the score read 4714 in favor of the Bulldogs, but the Fighting Owls seem to have found the corner, and are starting to turn. Head Coach Sean Witherwax said the team did a great job this game. “We drove down on the opening possession and scored, and it was the first time all year we had the lead,” he said. “The kids were excited about it. We stopped them on their first drive, and then had a chance to do it right the second time, but at thirdand-2 and fourth-and-2, we didn’t make it.” The lack of offensive production, as well as some mismatches with players, was too hard to overcome, and hurt the team, Witherwax said. “Those matchups didn’t go well, and they took advantage of it,” he said. However, the numbers show the Fighting Owls played hard — Witherwax said the team ran the most plays this game than were run all year, as well as produced the most first downs, most rushing yards, and probably the most passing yards than they’ve had all year. “We think we’re on the right track,” he said. “Defensively, we’ve got to keep working on tackling, so when we go up against good athletes, we do a better job at penning them up. I think four of their touchdowns we had them at the line of scrimmage and they wriggled out of it. “We’ve got to keep
Examiner staff CROCKETT — While it goes into the record books as a win for the Anderson-Shiro Lady Owls, Head Coach Laura Korenek said it wasn’t because her team was putting its best foot forward. The Lady Owls downed the Crockett Lady Bulldogs in a Friday district matchup 25-21, 25-19 and 25-16. “We did not play our best,” she said. “We were down several times throughout the match. I am happy with the win, but we need to play better from here on out.” Still, the win keeps the Lady Owls at the top of their district at 6-0.

working, and as coaches we have to keep trying to find ways to put us in the best position where we have a chance to play,” he said. Next in line for Anderson-Shiro is BrucevilleEddy. “I feel I know a lot about the teams in the district except this one,” Witherwax said. “We seem to match up athlete to athlete, and they run a similar offense and defense, so we have a chance.” He said he hopes to have a good week of practice, and the game will come down to who makes the least amount of errors. “Everything is starting to gel,” Witherwax said. “In the last two weeks, we’ve seen some really good plays. The offensive line got better, we’re able to run and pass the ball bet-

However, the Lady Owls came roaring back in the third game, as Coldspring’s offense sputtered.

WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 7, 2016 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Aries, you will soon learn that any obstacle can be overcome if you set your mind to it. While a certain task may seem daunting right now, you won’t allow it to intimidate you. TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) Others are paying attention to you even if they seem distracted, Taurus. Embrace the scrutiny and do your best to reciprocate any special attention coming your way. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Gemini, make an effort to be there for a loved one this week. You have a unique ability to listen and support others, and your loved one will not take your efforts for granted. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Cancer, if your energy and attention span is a bit scattered this week, take steps to ensure all of your responsibilities are taken care of. A respite is on the horizon. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Leo, by observing others you can learn how they operate and make the most of your chances to work with them. Apply a similar approach to your personal relationships. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Try to tackle a financial project this week, Virgo. Select something relatively easy to begin with, and then go from there if you find yourself in a financial groove. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) It’s time to get the creative juices flowing, Libra. Tackle a project around the house, like painting or rearranging a room. Look for a new creative hobby as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Scorpio, you have a lot of energy and a need to strive toward perfection in all that you do. Those traits will prove valuable around the office this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Keep trying to convince someone that your ideas are credible, Sagittarius. With a little more persuasion, you may win this person over and he or she will become a big supporter. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Capricorn, even if you don’t want to go along with what the group is doing this week, you just may have to concede that what is best for the group trumps your personal preference. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Aquarius, financial issues may be keeping you on your toes, but it’s nothing you can’t handle if you stick to your plan. You may want to do some tinkering, however. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Pisces, continue to bring the right people into your inner circle. One person in particular has your eye and might be just what you need.

On Sept. 6, around 1 p.m on 149, just about four miles between Anderson and Richards. The Hendersons — Keith and Debbie — were not home that day. Someone passing by noticed and reported their house was on fire. The Hendersons lost everything. Keith Henderson had also been a part of the the Anderson Fire Department at one time. The Henderson family had been committed to Texas A&M running the concession stands for all the Aggies activities for a long while. I have known the Hendersons for a very long time and I just want to help them. I was not aware of the fire till I saw a post on Facebook. Perhaps you were like me and unaware of their loss. I am posting a picture of it. They have lived in Grimes County for 35 years. A friend who opened a gofundme account for the Hendersons said, “Debbie would give you the shirt right off her back.” Debbie shared with me

Grandchildren keep things interesting with parents away Hotel Gingi was open for Paige and Chucky last week because their parents took Grandpa Fields to see his dad who suffered a heart attack. As of this posting, he is doing best as could be expected for a man who is almost 102. He recognizes all his guests and even talked with me on the phone. He is a remarkable man. •On Saturday, Paige, Chucky and I went to the Burleson Co. Fair held in Caldwell. Bree and Bean sold their rabbits and did pretty good. The kids all wanted to go to the carnival also. I walked around a little with them, but I did not last very long. I was not bored at the least because a family sat at the table with me and it took all of two minutes for us to talk as if we knew each other all our lives. My cousin Beckie’s response to this would be “imagine that!” All the kids seemed to

reinterred at the side of a brick church erected in Old Washington in his honor. The Rev. Spencer comes into the picture in the late 1860s. He was assigned to the Old Washington Methodist Church. With the rapidly depopulating of Old Washington the church building was sold. The funds of the sale went into a Ruter fund and since there was no reason to continue a church in Washington, some of the funds went to building a parsonage at Independence. In 1879 Spencer had railings placed around the still existing grave of Dr. Ruter from the fund. Twenty years later, in 1899, Rev. Spencer, now in Navasota, and much at his own expense, again had Dr. Ruter’s remains raised and reinterred in a Spencer purchased plot of Navasota’s Oakland Cemetery. With the persistence of Rev. Spencer, the remaining Ruter funds were used for a monument at Ruter’s grave formally dedicated on Dec. 3, 1901. Seven years later, on June 1, 1908, at the age of 76, the Rev. Spencer was himself interred in the same plot. (Travelers can still visit the Rutersville College site a short half-mile off Highway 159 at Rutersville, about six miles northeast of LaGrange in Fayette County. The grave and monument of Rev. Chauncey Richardson, 1st Rutersville College President, is on site.) (Written by Betty Dunn, Two Rivers Heritage Foundation)

Ministers share cemetery plot Some have probably wondered why two Methodist ministers share the same plot in Navasota’s Oakland Cemetery. That is the case with the Revs. Martin Ruter D.D., and C.L. Spencer. Dr. Ruter rode horseback into the new Republic of Texas in 1837 as a preacher and superintendent of Methodist Missions. Traveling and preaching as an itinerant Methodist minister to new settlers, Ruter concluded that the best way to preach the word of God in this new territory was to establish a Christian school. Though Ruter was stricken with fever and died at Washington-on-the-Brazos the following May of 1838, 10 fellow Methodist ministers banded together to purchase a tract of land establishing Rutersville College at a village also named in Ruter’s honor. The Republic of Texas 4th Congress chartered Rutersville College in January 1840 as the Republic’s first Institute of higher education granting four leagues of land from which funds of sales were to be used to develop the school. Soon a two story wood frame main building appeared on the Rutersville hill overlooking the vast Colorado River valley. Next was a girl’s academy building of limestone providing a study hallrecitation room, a chapel and a dining room. The college president and his wife’s two story home also served as a girl’s dormitory. The College opened with sixty-three students with the male students often forced into playing hooky as they joined neighboring Texas settlers to fend off Indians. About 1850, due to the Mexican War, local Indian troubles as well as the opening of nearby rival institutions, enrollment declined. In 1856 Rutersville consolidated with the Texas Monumental and Military Institute at nearby LaGrange and the Texas Military Institute in Galveston. In 1852 Ruter’s remains in the Old Washington Cemetery were moved with Masonic honors and
bury; Oct. 8 — Jeff Offutt, Dean Zwahr, Mike and Sarah Nigliazzo; Oct. 11 — Sterling Trullinger; Oct. 12 — Justin Branner, Emily Cotter, James Graham, Russell and Lisa Lahrmann; Roger and Kathy Lieder. Congratulations to each of you.

The cool weather that I predicted to start on Saturday, Sept. 17, is finally here. Only missed it by about some 10 days. It is certainly good to step outside and not be hit by hot weather. •There were two tombstones that were recently placed in the Martins Prairie Cemetery. They are Irene Cook Secrest, born Jan. 21, 1925, died March 8, 2016; and Ronald W. “Ronnie” McCleney, born Aug. 8, 1949, died Dec. 24, 2014. May their memories be blessed. •Mike and Robin Trant Johnson have moved the old Coneley house that has stood for almost 90 years across from Martins Prairie Missionary Baptist Church on County Road 175. It has been moved down the road to the “Ole Trant Place” where it will be Mike and Robin’s home. Early R. Coneley, born May 18, 1893, built it. He died July 24, 1964, and his wife, Willie Hicks Coneley, was born Dec. 29, 1901, and died Nov. 7, 1973. It was their home for many years. They are buried in the Martins Prairie Cemetery. Best wishes to the

NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST
Notice is hereby given that original Letters Testamentary for the Estate of Sandra Esther Isbell, Deceased, were issued on September 27, 2016, in Cause No. 8645 pending in the County Court of Grimes County, Texas to Melissa Isbell Davis.
On September 16, 2016, Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI) filed an application for approval to amend its Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (Commission). The amended TCRF is requested in accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Act Section 36.209 and Commission Rule 25.239. A TCRF allows a utility to recover its reasonable and necessary costs that have occurred since the end of the test year in the utility’s last base rate case for transmission infrastructure improvement and changes in wholesale transmission charges to the electric utility under a tariff approved by a federal regulatory authority. ETI is seeking recovery of costs for transmission capital investments it incurred from April 1, 2013 through July 31, 2016. ETI also seeks to recover approved transmission charges that are not otherwise being recovered through rates.
All persons having claims against this Estate which is currently being administered are required to present them to the undersigned within the time and in the manner prescribed by law. c/o: BRETT S. CHARLES Attorney at Law 108 E. North Avenue Bryan, Texas 77801

PA Prospect LLC P O Box 785 Columbus, MT 59019 is applying to the Railroad Commission of Texas for a commercial disposal permit to dispose of oil and gas waste by injection into a porous formation not productive of oil or gas. The applicant proposes to dispose fluid into the Wilcox formation, Grimes Co Hwy 30 SWD, well number 1. The proposed disposal well is located 12 miles NW of Anderson, TX in the Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field In Grimes County. Fluid will be injected into strata in the subsurface depth interval from 4,700 to 7,000 feet. LEGAL AUTHORITY: Chapter 27 of the Texas Water Code, As amended, Title 3 of the Texas Natural Resources Code, as amended and the Statewide Rules of the Oil and Gas Division of the Railroad Commission of Texas.
The amended TCRF would result in total TCRF retail revenues of $29,478,354 on an annual basis, which is $18,969,473 above the amount approved, subject to pending motions for rehearing, in ETI’s previous TCRF case (Commission Docket No. 45084) on July 20, 2016. This incremental $18,969,473 amount would be a 2.32% increase in ETI’s annualized non-fuel revenue requirement as compared to revenues approved in Docket No. 45084 plus ETI’s most recently completed base rate case (Docket No. 41791), and a 1.37% increase in ETI’s overall annualized revenue requirement including fuel costs as compared to such revenues as approved in Docket Nos. 45084 and 41791. The impact of the rate change on various customer classes will vary from the overall impact described in this notice. ETI has requested that the Commission make this change effective 35 days after its application was filed. The proposed effective date is subject to suspension and extension by actions that may be taken by the Commission. All customers in ETI’s Texas retail rate classes are affected by this request. Persons with questions or who want more information on this filing may contact ETI at Entergy Texas, Inc., Attn: Customer Service—2016 TCRF Case, 350 Pine Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701, or call 1-800-368-3749 (once you hear: “Welcome to Entergy� select 1, then 5, then 6, then 2, then 2) during normal business hours. A complete copy of this application is available for inspection at the address listed above. The Commission has assigned Docket No. 46357 to this proceeding. Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon this proceeding should notify the Public Utility Commission of Texas as soon as possible, as an intervention deadline will be imposed. A request to intervene or for further information should be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326. Further information may also be obtained by calling the Public Utility Commission at (512) 936-7120 or (888) 782-8477. Hearing- and speech-impaired individuals with text telephones (TTY) may contact the Commission at (512) 936-7136. The deadline for intervention in this proceeding is 45 days after the date the application was filed with the Commission, which is October 31, 2016. All communications should refer to Docket No. 46357.
