South Texas Atheists put up Godless Billboards

Dont Believe in God

Youre not Aloneis the message printed on two billboards in Corpus Christi Whenever I see a religious message on a billboard two things occur to me fi rst why would someone even need to advertise for the creator of the universe and second why does the lord never advertise in CC Magazine

So now the atheists are in on the game and Fred Edwords national director of United Coalition of Reason explains The point of our national awareness campaign is to reach out to the millions of humanists atheists and agnostics living in the United States Non-theists sometimes dont realize theres a community for them because theyre inundated with religious messages at every turn So we hope our effort will serve as a beacon and let them know they arent alone

Well thats nice and even nicer is the complete absence of outrage among the religious folk in town Well done everyone

Heroes of the Month

A new non-profit organization with a mission to cultivate a healthy community by growing the local food system is sprouting from the seeds of the Corpus Christi Downtown Farmersrsquo Market

GROW Local South Texas leaders announced the new organization its members and mission at a news conference held on March 8th at the Tango Tea Room 505 S Water Street Corpus Christi

As the work of the Downtown Farmersrsquo Market Board of Directors began to expand the group quickly realized there was more to their efforts than managing one market With goals including easier access to locally-produced food educating the community about production and the importance of a local food system and advocating for policies that further this movement the market board quickly realized it was time to grow

The newly formed non-profit organization will encompass the Downtown Farmersrsquo Market and expand to promote the local food movement with the help of 30 committee members and a growing list of projects

Creating an educational garden in partnership with The City of Corpus Christi at Tom Graham Park to incubate future local producers

Developing a network of restaurants producers and consumers to provide farm-to-table dining options

Providing a much-needed singular voice to advocate for policies that support producers and the local food system

ldquoMy dream for this community is easy access to affordable healthy

food that is produced literally in our own backyards The plans and projects we have for this community are long overdue when compared with nearby culturally-similar cities like San Antonio and Harlingenrdquo says GROW Local South Texas Executive Director Aislynn Campbell ldquoA national trend toward healthy eating and growing locally economies is upon usrdquo

GROW Local South Texas will build upon the current momentum of activity in Corpus Christi support the Go Local movement and help to provide Corpus Christi and South Texas with the quality of life its residents deserve

Editors note This is the third of the series of stories on the history of the Nueces Strip the piece of land between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande which in the spring of 1875 had been the scene of raids by bandits from Mexico who rode into downtown Corpus Christi and stole among other things eighteen prized saddles It was estimated at the time that since the end of the Civil War at least 2000 people had been killed in the Nueces Strip and more than 900000 cattle were stolen and taken into Mexico where they were sold to border lord Juan Cortina who then shipped them to Cuba for sale

A troop of Texas Rangers led by Captain LH McNelly rode after them and among the troop was Ranger George Durham a farm boy from Georgia whose father had ridden with McNelly during the Civil War Late in his life Durham told his story to a writer who used it and trunk full of handwritten notes by Durham to compile a history of his time as a Ranger That book Taming the Nueces Strip is the basis for these stories

By Dale Rankin

July 1875 in the Nueces Strip near the Laguna Madre south of Corpus Christi

The troop of forty Rangers had hidden themselves in an oak mott about one hours ride from the Laguna Madre while their scouts patrolled the prairie in search of bandits running their stolen cattle south toward the Rio Grande Just after sundown the scouts rode into the Ranger camp with a captive they had found riding one of the Dick Heye saddles stolen in the raid on Sol Lichtensteins store in downtown Corpus Christi The man said he was a gambler and had won the saddle in a poker game at a place called Neales Ranch They lashed the mans hands behind him and put a lariat around his neck and strung him up to a cottonwood tree The man was able to tuck his chin and keep his windpipe open so they began bouncing him on the end of the rope It produced the desired effect and after a short swing on the end of the rope the captive changed his story

He sad he was a scout from a raiding party of about fifty people who had been raiding around La Parra and had rounded up more than three hundred beeves The raiders were heading south hugging the Laguna Madre on the road used by General Zachary Taylor in the war with Mexico The bandits would cross the Arroyo Colorado in the early evening near the present city of Harlingen then skirt the edge of the Palo Alto prairie and make a dash for the river They would cross the Rio Grande in eight to ten hours

Now the Rangers had their sights on a group of bandits and knew their route They were twenty-five miles from the river In the parlance of the Western it was time to head em off at the pass

The Rangers moved out in skirmish formation with advance patrols out front and flank riders to each side You could smell a fight in that salt air George Durham said They moved east toward the Laguna through the hardpan country with salt cedars and patches of scrub-oak It wasnt hard to see the trail of the stolen herd when they crossed it Rock the lead scout stopped his horse and signalled back that the trail led south Rock rode ahead at a gallop to the top of a small rise and repeated the gesture this time indicating he had sighted the gang eight miles distant The Rangers spurred their horses and drove hard The bandits sighted them at the same time and kept their stolen herd as tight as they could as they

picked up the pace After a chase of about three miles when it became apparent that they couldnt outrun the Rangers the bandits drove the herd onto a small island in the salt marsh and took their stand in the fringe of brush on the far side of the resaca They had about a half hour to get ready as they watched the Rangers ride toward them from the open prairie When Captain McNelly spurred his horse Segal given to him by Captain Richard King a few days before the horse took off with so much force he kicked hardpan mud forty feet in the air The Rangers followed suit and began closing on the forted bandits They reined in five hundred yards from the bandits just out of rifle range The rangers circled in around McNelly who spoke to them Durham put his words down for posterity

Boys across the resaca are some outlaws that claim theyre bigger then the law - bigger than Washington law bigger than Texas law Right now well find out if theyre right or if theyre wrong This wont be a standoff or a dogfall Well either win completely or well lose completely Those cutthroats have plundered and raided and murdered at will Theyve mistreated our women and carried off some in slavery You will follow me in a skirmish line spaced at five-pace intervals Dont fire a shot until I do Dont shoot either to your right or left Shoot only at a target directly in front

While the captain was talking the bandits began firing but their shots fell short only splashing the shallow water standing in the resaca Some of the bandits were still mounted tasked with keeping the herd together and others also mounted were drifting around behind the herd The rest were dug in for a fight They had only to hold their ground until more men came from across the river to move the herd

The bandits in their strong defensive position were not expecting a charge so when McNelly began to lead the Rangers toward their position some of the bandits broke for their horses and lit out across the prairie The ones who stayed began firing wild mostly low McNelly and his rangers had yet to fire a shot He was spurring in closer in a way that scared not only the bandits but some of the Rangers as well

This was the first time most of the troop had seen the usually mild mannered Captain in fighting trim In the mind of Durham We were glad we were on his side and not the other The first of the Ranger horses went down and a Corporal Rudd barely managed to jump clear grabbing his carbine in the process The line of Rangers was less than a hundred paces from the bandits in the brushline Durhams horse fell to his knees and Durham grabbed his 50 caliber Sharps rifle and ran toward the fight

At thirty paces McNelly drew his pistol and opened fire Twenty paces from the brush Durham saw a man squatting behind a clump of scrub and cedar As he jumped up to get away Durham could see a fancy beaver hat and a long scar down his cheek It was the man who had pistol-whipped a shop owners wife during a raid a few weeks earlier on the Nueces He ran for his horse

Durham pointed his rifle at the scar and dropped the hammer In Durhams words he had on a big beaver hat and when I fired his head just seemed to explode along with that hat I had fired my first shot in combat and I hit my target I had brought down the prize - that scar faced dude who quirted down Martha Noakes Right then I quit being a scared

In the world of wrestling Chavo Guerrero Jr is considered royalty as a third generation wrestler from the reigning Guerrero family that hails from

By Andy Purvis

Charles Jeter answered the phone and handed it to his son ldquoDerek yoursquore going to be a Yankeerdquo said the voice on the other end Derek could not believe itrdquo Neither could the rest of the baseball world Derek quickly called Michigan Baseball Head Coach Bill Freehan a former 11 time All-Star catcher with the Detroit Tigers told him the particulars and said four words ldquoWhat should I dordquo Freehan answered with four words of his own ldquoYoursquove got to signrdquo Derek Jeter signed a New York Yankee contract on June 28 1992 just two days after his 18th birthday The amount was for $800000 Jeter had become the first high school player selected in the 1992 Major League draft It would become the pick of a lifetime So sit back relax put your feet up and let me tell you the incredible story of how Derek Jeter became a Yankee

Derek Sanderson Jeter was born June 26 1974 with good genes In the late 1960rsquos his dad Charles an African-American from Alabama had played shortstop and second base at Fisk University located in Nashville Tennessee After Fisk Charles moved to New Jersey were he met his future bride-to-be She was of Irish descent white and her name was Dorothy They moved their family to Kalamazoo Michigan when Derek was four Charles Jeter taught his son many things but through it all Derek Jeter was better then everyone else the first day he played at anything

He was tall and very skinny some said he had to run around in the shower just to get wet Derek was the leader of his team at shortstop He was quiet respectful and said ldquoyes sirrdquo and ldquono sirrdquo When others were heading to the mall he was going to the baseball diamond to play catch Derek Jeter hit over 500 and only struck out once in 23 games his senior year of high school His hands were educated and soft like cotton candy His footwork labeled him as a tap dancer a Gregory Hines at shortstop He played basketball in high school to stay in shape for baseball and he predicted two things ldquoWhen I grow up Irsquom going to play for the New York Yankees and marry Mariah Careyrdquo

The University of Michigan Notre Dame and The University of Miami all offered him a scholarship to continue his education while playing baseball for them Dot Jeter wanted her son to go to Notre Dame while Derek leaned towards Miami but then he met Bill Freehan of Michigan and changed his mind Michigan was coming off of probation and the program was down

But lying like a snake in the grass was New York Yankee scout Dick Groch One story had Groch telling a Michigan State recruiter who was adding Jeterrsquos name to a mailing list ldquoYoursquod better save your postage that kidrsquos not going to school hersquos going to Cooperstownrdquo Groch later said that Ken Griffey Jr had been the best he had ever seen in high school until he saw Jeter Now he placed them right there together There was only one problem the New York Yankees picked sixth in the draft No one in their wildest dreams thought Jeter would be there when it came time for the Bombers to pick

Herersquos how the June 1 1992 draft would commence The Houston Astros owned the first pick They also knew there were some issues with their starting third baseman Ken Caminiti and the use of steroids Infielder Phil Nevin from Cal State Fullerton had been named the College Player of the

Year Houston Scouting Director Dan OrsquoBrian liked both Nevin and Jeter and felt that their scout Hal Newhouser was right about Jeter Bob Watson Houstonrsquos Assistant General Manager leaned toward Nevin a college kid versus a high school kid The Astros felt that Jeter would be easier to sign but owner John McMullen wanted someone who would move through their system more quickly They called Jeterrsquos advisor Steve Caruso and asked what it would take to sign Jeter The answer $750000 to $800000 not a bad price for the Number One pick The Astros made their choice

Former pitcher and now Astros scout Hal Newhouser took the call from his boss Dan OrsquoBrian upstairs ldquoWell Irsquom throughrdquo he said to his wife when he came down the stairs ldquoThey picked Nevinrdquo Newhouser never spent another day in baseball after that except when he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame later that same summer He was beside himself with the Astrosrsquo decision ldquoHersquos the best Irsquove ever seenrdquo said Newhouser Hal never used a radar gun He didnrsquot need a gun to tell him that Jeter threw fast Other scouts with radar guns said he topped out at 90 mph from shortstop to first base Turns out Hal didnrsquot need stat sheets or box scores either The Houston Astros had lost 97 games during the 1991 season and thatrsquos one of the reasons Newhouser had been hired to scout for their team Hal had made the long round trip from Bloomfield to Kalamazoo to see young Derek Jeter play in high school numerous times all with joy ldquoI donrsquot know if Derek will play shortstop or end up in centerfield Either way hersquos going to play in the Majors for 20 yearsrdquo exclaimed Newhouser

The second pick was owned by the Cleveland Indians In 1989 the Tribe had just signed Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez and they were in dire need of pitching A big hard-throwing right-hander named Paul Shuey a pitcher

from the University of North Carolina was right there for the choosing They took Shuey

The third pick belonged to the Montreal Expos who also needed pitching They liked left-hander B J Wallace of Mississippi State University Wallace went north to Canada with the Expos

The fourth pick rested with the Baltimore Orioles With Cal Ripken Jr at shortstop the Orsquos grabbed up power-hitting outfielder Jeffery Hammonds of Stanford University

Pick number five fell to the Cincinnati Reds They wanted Jeter but future Hall-of-Fame shortstop Barry Larkin was in the way They chose the next best player in outfielder Chad Mottola from the University of Central Florida

George Steinbrenner had been banned for life from day-to-day operations of the Yankees by Commissioner Fay Vincent for paying Howie Spira $40000 to spy on Derek Jeterrsquos idol Dave Winfield Nevertheless George made it clear that he still owned the team and he approved Jeter as their pick if he fell that far The Yankees were in need of some luck as they had not been in the playoffs since 1981 ldquoCaptain Luckrdquo was staring them right in the face with the sixth pick Anthony Robbins once said ldquoYou see in life lots of people know what to do but few people actually do what they know Knowing isnrsquot enough You must take actionrdquo

And so it began with the sixth pick of the 1992 draft Kevin Elfering the Assistant Scouting Coordinator and Director of Minor League Operations for the New York Yankees had never seen Derek Jeter play All he was required to do was say ldquoDerek Sanderson Jeter of Kalamazoo Centralrdquo and he was a Yankee Unbelievably the best baseball player in the land fell to the New York Yankees

In about 10 days Derek Jeter will begin his 19th season in pinstripes He has collected 3304 hits five Gold Gloves and five World Series rings all while playing in 12 All-Star Games To think he could have been a Houston Astro All they had to do was say his name into the telephone What a difference it might have made especially since Houston will now play in the American League

Guerrero is used to traveling From Mexico to Australia to Japan hersquos seen the world and experienced the different culturesrsquo reactions to wrestling ldquoYou go to Mexico and itrsquos a different type of wrestlingrdquo said Guerrero ldquoMexican people are very very passionate so whatever they like they really like So if yoursquore in Mexico and you go to a wrestling match they go wild Itrsquos part of their

culture in Mexicordquo

Living in the footsteps of a successful family can be stressful but for Guerrero itrsquos a way for his fans to relate to him because of his familyrsquos history in the sport ldquo Itrsquos happened several times where a fan comes up asks for my autograph and they are shaking and I ask whatrsquos wrong and they start crying and I ask whatrsquos wrong and they say Irsquom so excited to meet yourdquo said Guerrero ldquo Irsquom like hey Irsquom just

a regular person out there that you see on TV So I calm them down a bit and let them know it was fl attering but Irsquom just a guy who gets paid to live my dreamrdquo

Guerrero may be modest but he realizes the importance of upholding his image as a role model Hersquos focused on regaining the TNA World Tag Team Championship title with ldquoThe Super Mexrdquo Hernandez undergoing intense training to prepare him for any situation he may encounter during any given match ldquoI think anytime we get in the ring we are a contender ldquosaid Guerrero ldquoWe will take it back tomorrow if we had a chancerdquo

Looking forward to a huge turnout from the serious wrestling fans in Corpus Christi Guerrero boasts that TNA will deliver an evening of excitement like no other ldquoIf you are a wrestling fan and you are watching TNA you will see a great organization with great wrestlers tearing the house downrdquo

In my line of work I have the honor of interviewing an array of really cool people During our conversations I bombard these poor suffering souls with a bunch of questions about their personal lives that appear to have nothing to do with their careers (Hmmmhassle or nose around might be a bit more accurate than interview) I always have the mindset that the end result will be hope Maybe a reader will fi nd out that the musician actor comedian or entertainer of their liking was from a small one-stop-sign town too Perhaps reading about someones path to celebrity or at the very least a gig that actually pays the bills and supports a family will serve as inspiration for their own journey The little details often provide the motivation to take that fi rst step Some of these entertainers go through years of what seems like endless auditions rejections and very lean times before they create a big name of their own or fi nd fortune (as in luck not necessarily money) in portraying a well-known character

If you are from Corpus Christi or Alice or Portland or Kingsville or wherever youve probably heard (or thought) that your hometown is not big enough or cool enough or connected enough to make big things happen Youve got to start somewhere There is no reason not to dream big right here in Corpus Christi

American Bank Center and Feld Entertainment will present four fairy tales with Disney on Ice Rockin Ever After Thursday April 25th through Sunday April 28th The show will feature stories from Disneys popular fi lms The Little Mermaid Tangled Brave and Beauty and the Beast The Little Mermaids Prince Eric (Sean Wirtz) and his princess on and off the ice Princess Ariel (Kristin Cowan) shared with me the roads that led them to this national tour and what it

is like to be part of such a great show

Sean grew up in Marathon Canada a small town

(seriously small about 4000 people) just

outside of Thunder Bay at the tip of Lake Superior With a mother and an uncle who loved being on the ice it was only natural that Sean would begin skating At 13 he moved to Montreal to live and train with another uncle a coach who had worked with skaters during the 92 94 and 98 Olympics

Seans skating took him around the world to compete in national and international competitions He went professional in 2008 and worked for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line as a cruise ship entertainer In 2012 Sean joined Disney and found that the opportunity to perform in various shows and tour was thrilling

Kristin laced up her fi rst pair of skates at age three in Spokane Washington To be fair her mother a 25 year veteran performer with the Ice Capades probably did the lacing Kristin took to the ice immediately but unlike Sean did not fi nd herself interested in the more serious competitive side of skating As a little girl she always wanted to do pairs skating and focus on the art of storytelling Kristin briefl y left the ice in 2005 to begin as an engineering major at a college outside of San Francisco but being really into math growing up led her to switch to accounting Fortunately for her (and eventually Disney and especially Sean) she missed skating got back on the ice in 2007 and joined a Dutch-based company Holidays on Ice

The ice skating community is very small Both Sean and Kristin were looking for a partner and through friends Sean got her name When he contacted her in October 2011 she said it just worked out And within a couple of weeks I knew it worked out nicely They trained together performed together and sent a performance video to a representative of Disney and now they skate as a couple in The Little Mermaid part of the Disney on Ice Rockin Ever After tour The show is two hours long with an intermission and features talented performers dancing and gliding on the ice and fl ying through the air making the aerial stunts look like second nature Kristins own aerial act is called the Spanish Web and depicts how mermaid Arial gets her human legs from Ursula Looping her wrist with a rope Kristin is lifted high into the air and her web partner (not Sean) helps her twirl and spin Good thing she had some training at a circus school She is really excited about playing Princess Ariel in the show as this is her fi rst

A Love Like A Fair Tale

time playing a character

Kristin and Sean are constantly working on different elements like lifts and moves to keep their performances fresh and captivating Fortunately neither skater has ever had any serious injuries during their careers Kristin offered everyone gets sore muscles and such but weve been very lucky They both fi nd the worst part of a ten-month tour is how much they miss their families The schedule does not allow for a lot of time off to travel home but whenever possible their families will come to a show and sneak in a visit My favorite part of the interview was the little twist that came toward the end of my conversation with Sean (I spoke with him fi rst) I had no clue that Sean and Kristin were a couple off the ice until Sean when asked what he thought was the best part of his job without missing a beat Sean replied skating with Kristin Kristin agrees

Doing what you love to do for a living with the one you love while seeing the worldyes please



Sean grew up in Marathon Canada a small town (seriously small about 4000 people) just outside of Thunder Bay at the tip of Lake Superior With a mother and an uncle who loved being on the ice it was only natural that Sean would begin skating At 13 he moved to Montreal to live and train with another uncle a coach who had worked with skaters during the 92 94 and 98 Olympics

IIntoxication is a universal human behavior Every culture that has ever existed has had intoxicants available for its members to use Most cultures

have a few approved intoxicants and everything else is taboo What these are in our own culture is obvious alcohol and caffeine are Okay everything else is taboo Heres where the problem lies We like to think of America as a nation where laws exist for good reasons not ancient prejudices But our drug laws are a perfect example of how cultural taboos have been made into laws with the result that the United States now has the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world At the end of 2009 it was 743 adults incarcerated per 100000 population

Humans have a need to change their state of being from time to time You can see this early in life when children spin around in place making themselves so dizzy they fall down laughing We daydream to help us envision a better environment During sleep we create dreams which often bring back old fond memories During surgery we are given anesthesia to keep us from actually feeling the pain of a scalpel entering our bodies I hope in the future the powers that be will accept this notion as fact and allow the members of society to act upon their own bodies as they see fi t

Rumors amp Lies Large Sodas and Crack Pipes

By Charlz L VinsonCvinsonccmagonlinecom

A ban was scheduled to take effect in New York which would limit the sale of sugary drinks to containers of 16 ounces or less This doesnrsquot mean you would not be able to consume more than 16 ounces of sugary drinks just that vendors would not be allowed to sell the product in containers which hold more than 16 ounces of that particular product Just before the ban was scheduled to take effect it was struck down by the courts

Like most bad laws this one was based on a simple premise to protect society from the dangers of a substance

There is a concept that seems to have been lost somewhere in the last hundred years or so The concept of adulthood An adult is (or was) a person who has reached a certain age typically 18 or 21 years and is thereafter deemed responsible for his or her own actions A hundred years ago we gave people a lot more credit You could go down to the apothecary and purchase Bayer brand heroin for your cough or cocaine to cure lethargy Cannabis use wasnt illegal either Then things got silly

First in 1920 a bunch of do-gooders managed to prohibit the sale of alcohol everywhere in the United States What was the result The creation of a massive black market for alcohol and the parasitic class of criminals who benefi tted from it There were turf wars between rival gangs and violence in the streets Eventually in 1933 the nation came to its senses and repealed the prohibition of alcohol but evidently some folks in government service were so pleased with the amount of crime they were now able to combat complete with generous federal budgets that in 1927 they managed to make almost every other intoxicant they could think of illegal as well

Its for our own good if it wasnt illegal everyone would do it

Now an adult citizen isnt considered responsible enough to purchase a large soda Can we not just allow adults to make their own decisions and deal with the consequences Dear reader do you think you would run to CVS and buy heroin today if it were still legal There are very good reasons to not take heroin and the fact that its illegal doesnt make that much harder to buy No most of you have lived your entire lives without even considering purchasing heroin even though it has always been available to you because you choose not to take such a dangerous and addictive drug

As children responsible adults properly taught us which household items were dangerous poisonous and otherwise off limits These same people who instructed their kids not to touch rat poison bleach or matches are the same who will eat barbacoa tacos and drink Dr Pepper Are these items good for you Will they lead you to a life with Diabetes and possibly a dialysis routine The point that New York was trying to make with a ban on sugary drinks in

Its like a deatha death in the family -Peter Steele Type O Negative

containers of more than 16 ounces is this Donrsquot abuse substances your body will deteriorate as a result

We all should be free to choose for ourselves after age 18 what to do with our own bodies Want a tattoo Go for it Want to toke up after work Fine Just follow this mantra Do whatever you want to yourself as long as your actions donrsquot infringe upon the rights or freedoms of others

A digression so I can complain about something unrelated

Irsquove been the victim of prejudice before and let me tell you about it One night I was driving home down IH-37 at a top speed of 90 miles per hour I was following a line of cars that were all going that fast Eventually we passed a Texas Highway Patrolman who turned on his lights and was able to wrangle two vehicles myself included I was positioned behind the offi cer the other vehicle was parked in front of him The offi cer fi rst went to the car ahead of him spoke to the driver for about half a minute then allowed him to leave He then walked over to my car The fi rst question he belted out to me was ldquoAre you in CCPD alsordquo Confused about his query I asked back ldquoWhatrdquo He responded with ldquoWho do you work forrdquo This further confused my thinking brain I thought quickly to myself ldquoHow does onersquos own job affect the details of a traffi c violationrdquo After telling him who I worked for he then instructed me to move my vehicle in front of his He then gave me a speeding ticket and allowed me to leave On the way home I had time to digest what had transpired The fi rst car had a driver who was a fellow peace offi cer while the second driver (ME) was just some average Joe The fi rst car received no ticket while the second car (ME) got a citation What was the difference We both were performing the same infraction so we both should have received the same citation But there is unwritten rule about to be written in this monthrsquos diatribe rant of Rumors amp Lies That is that cops donrsquot give tickets to cops

And while on this subject of prejudice whatever happened to the police event surrounding the sister of a local congressman Irsquom still waiting to see if justice is truly blind or if nowadays it can read Braille

In conclusion I want to strongly stress this statement Donrsquot abuse substances If you like smoking go for it If you indulge in pecan pies do it If a 10-hour movie marathon makes for a perfect weekend then by-golly mark it on your calendar Some people read books others roll joints Everyone should respect everyone else Why cant we all just get along

CC History



By Dale Rankin





The Rangers moved out in skirmish formation with advance patrols out front and flank riders to each side You could smell a fight in that salt air George Durham said They moved east toward the Laguna through the hardpan country with salt cedars and patches of scrub-oak It wasnt hard to see the trail of the stolen herd when they crossed it Rock the lead scout stopped his horse and signalled back that the trail led south Rock rode ahead at a gallop to the top of a small rise and repeated the gesture

this time indicating he had sighted the gang eight miles distant The Rangers spurred their horses and drove hard The bandits sighted them at the same time and kept their stolen herd as tight as they could as they picked up the pace After a chase of about three miles when it became apparent that they couldnt outrun the Rangers the bandits drove the herd onto a small island in the salt marsh and took their stand in the fringe of brush on the far side of the resaca They had about a half hour to get ready as they watched the Rangers ride toward them from the open prairie The Rangers began closing on the forted bandits They reined in five hundred yards from the bandits just out of rifle range The rangers circled in around McNelly who spoke to them Durham put his words down for posterity




This was the first time most of the troop had seen the usually mild mannered Captain in fighting trim In the mind of Durham We were glad we were on his side and not the other The first of the Ranger horses went down and a Corporal Rudd barely

managed to jump clear grabbing his carbine in the process The line of Rangers was less than a hundred paces from the bandits in the brushline Durhams horse fell to his knees and Durham grabbed his 50 caliber Sharps rifle and ran toward the fight


Durham pointed his rifle at the scar and dropped the hammer In Durhams words he had on a big beaver hat and when I fired his head just seemed to explode along with that hat I had fired my first shot in combat and I hit my target I had brought down the prize - that scar faced dude who quirted down Martha Noakes Right then I quit being a scared country boy I was a Ranger A little McNelly

The Rangers were off their horses now and beating through the brush taking the fight close in firing as they went The brush line was only twenty paces deep As the Rangers closed in bandits would pop up and make for their mounts but it was too late Two jumped on one horse and took off but a Ranger got in a good carbine shot and one fell the other made it another twenty paces before he fell too two bandits with one shot I got dubs he shouted

McNelly had his section of the brush under control but one bandit was wounded and not firing but not dead McNelly called to his men My pistols empty Bring me some more shells At that the outlaw broke cover and ran toward McNelly grinning and brandishing a Bowie knife McNelly fired his pistol and struck the man right in the mouth McNelly mounted and rode out to where a Ranger was kneeling over the first man McNelly had shot while riding in

Hes asking for a chaplain the Ranger said he must be a war veteran The man had taken a 50 caliber Sharps round under the chest McNelly who had been a Virginia minister before becoming a Ranger took a bible out of his pocket and read scripture until the man died

On the other end of the brush line a bandit broke and ran jumping on his horse Ranger Smith brought him down with a pistol shot He was slashing the grass and floundering when Smith came up too close The outlaw rolled over got one shot into Smith and killed the Ranger in his tracks Smith had broken the Captains rule about approaching a wounded man

McNelly rounded up his Rangers and put them in a dry camp on the on the edge of Brownsville then he headed for the Miller Hotel where he set up a headquarters

At the order of Captain McNelly the bodies of sixteen dead bandits were stacked up like cordwood in the town square at Brownsville An order was put out that if anyone attempting to come and claim a body should be arrested and brought to the Captain

the ground and are joining in to support the event while the rest were created specifi cally to kick off this new city-wide effort

ldquoI came in with this idea thatrsquos done in San Antonio and I thought we could do it in Corpus Itrsquos the Contemporary Art Month The idea is to let people on the South Side know that K Space is here basically that was the fi rst thing Also to point out where art is To put art on the South Side so people who go into Appliance Mart for example would see some art and go ldquoOh wherersquod that come from Whorsquos that artistrdquo Then wersquoll have a poster that says where it came from who that artist is and a little bar code that you can fl ash with your smart phone It will go to the K Space site where you can

look at all those artists that are all over town and you can see where all the art isrdquo

Visit the CAMCC webpage KSpaceContemporaryorgcamcc for a map and info on all the great art around town this month

Irsquove long admired Lyndarsquos art and her support of the community This past fall I got to know more about her through a Creative Capital Development Workshop held at K Space Lynda was so interested in the program she traveled to attend one and felt she got so much out of it that she then spent years working to bring it to Corpus Christi

As I told Lynda I see her efforts to bring us that workshop as refl ecting the 36 years she spent teaching It seems like shersquos still doing a lot of teaching and encouragement among her fellow artists and the local community at large

In addition to helping get these projects off the ground Lynda has created a self-guided art tour of the cityrsquos bayfront area for locals and visitors

alike cctexascomAssetsDepartmentsParks-and-RecreationsFiles35 Bayfront Art Tour_031708pdf

She also researched compiled and created a book detailing each piece of Corpus Christirsquos Public Art Collection from 1914 through 2009 (visitcorpuschristitxorgpublicarttourcfm)

ldquoWhen I see something that I think could be better I want to go and try and make it that way Especially after I went to Creative Capital (2009 workshop) I got a chance to go to that and see that artists need to be business people I always knew that but I didnrsquot really understand how it would work

ldquoAfter that I was driven to get it here so that a few people would know what it takes to do what they want to do I gave the information out to people like Sheila (Rodgers) and she has run with itrdquo

Sheila and several other local artists (including

IIf you live within reach of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times yoursquove no doubt read her articles over the past year Lynda Jonesrsquo roots in this area run deep

If you are an artist in the Coastal Bend you have defi nitely benefi ted from her tireless support of the local art scene for many years

If you live in the Lindale area she has beautifi ed your neighborhood park If you went to Cunningham Junior High from lsquo68 to lsquo74 or Mary Carroll High School any time between lsquo74 and lsquo04 Lynda Jones was a part of your art education

Lynda is a Trustee at the Art Museum of South Texas where she chairs their Exhibition Committee Her work is frequently in shows at K Space Contemporary where Lynda is a board member You will also see her work shown at Wilhelmi-Holland and the Islander galleries and up in San Antonio at the Found gallery in La Villita

A soft-spoken Texas native with a genuine smile Lynda has a seemingly boundless enthusiasm for the possibilities of art in our community I gather she also has a huge aversion to the spotlight When I contacted Lynda about writing a profi le of her and her work which is terrifi c stuff she defl ected In fact Irsquom probably going to be in the doghouse with Lynda for not letting myself get truly diverted despite her best efforts

When we met for this interview Lynda told me all about her latest community project with K Space which will hopefully become an annual tradition ndash Contemporary Art Month in Corpus Christi

Throughout the month of March contemporary art is on exhibit in various places usual and unusual all over the city These works will be on display March 1st through March 31st More than 20 venues are displaying contemporary art during the event Ten were already scheduled before the project got off

myself) were fi nally able to attend the workshop in person this past fall when Lynda and other board members were able to help K Space put together grant funds to fi nance it

As lsquoEco-Artistsrsquo Lynda and Sheila comb the beaches for the fl otsam that washes ashore and they create art with it We show a few photos of Lyndarsquos work here but please visit Lyndarsquos website to see more lyndaajjonescom

While there you will also see her terrifi c community spirit in bringing the arts to the aid of a local green spot Lindale Park

ldquoWhoever wants to do one just has to turn in a design to me I send it to Parks amp Rec the Beautification Committee and the Lindale Neighborhood to make sure that everybody likes it Then they can have the board and the paints to do onerdquo
