    A man suspected of be-

    ing involved in a carjacking


    was killed Tuesday when he
    was struck and killed while
    searching for gas for the ve-
    hicle.
    Te subject, Victor Mon-
    roe Pierce Jr., 37, of Vidor,
    was pronounced dead at the
    scene at 8:31 p.m. by Pre-
    cinct 1 Justice of the Peace
    Deidra Voigt and taken to
    Seydler-Hill Funeral Home
    in Gonzales.
    Department of Public
    Safety ofcials said a pedes-
    trian was struck and killed
    at the 643 milepost of I-10 at
    approximately 7:35 p.m.
    Earlier in the day, Gua-
    dalupe County ofcials re-
    ported that a 1993 green
    Ford had been forcibly tak-
    en from the vehicles owner
    at a SunMart convenience
    store in Guadalupe County.
    Investigators believe Pierce
    had stolen the vehicle and
    was driving through Gonza-
    les County when it ran out
    of fuel around milepost 643.
    Te deceased had at-
    tempted to get gas and mon-
    ey from a nearby residence,
    but failed, and returned to
    the intestate at which time
    he was struck and killed.
    Te Gonzales DPS Ofce
    conducted the investiga-
    tion in conjunction with the
    Gonzales County Sherifs
    Department. At this time,
    authorities speculate that
    the deceased approached
    trafc on I-10 afer failing to
    Most of us take for granted the
    availability of everyday consumable
    items like snacks, but for many mem-
    bers of our military serving in far-of
    places, even something so simple as a
    candy bar or pack of raisins is consid-
    ered a luxury.
    Members of the Gonzales Elks
    Lodge 2413 and youngsters attending
    the Gonzales Youth Center are out to
    change that for some service members.
    Lodge members and the GYC
    youth are working together on an on-
    going project to send We Care Pack-
    ages to service personnel serving in
    dangerous areas of the world such as
    Afghanistan, Iraq and West Africa.
    Te We Care Packages are com-
    prised of items most requested by
    service personnel serving in those ar-
    eas. Te local youngsters will collect
    items and prepare them for shipment
    and the Elks will handle the logistics
    thanks to a grant from the Elks Na-
    tional Foundation.
    ENF Grant Coordinator Bob Day,
    himself a Navy Seabees veteran, was
    on-hand Tuesdayto explain to the
    kids a little of what its like serving
    overseas and the value of the items
    being shipped.
    Te packages currently being pre-
    pared will be shipped out in time for
    Tanksgiving, and future item drives
    will be held for Christmas, Easter and
    the Fourth of July.
    While the news head-
    lines are alarming afer re-
    ports of three cases of Ebola
    in the Dallas area, includ-
    ing one death, ofcials in
    Gonzales County and with
    the Texas Department of
    Health say local residents
    have no reason to be con-
    cerned about the potential
    for a major outbreak.
    At Memorial Hospital
    the health and safety of our
    patients, our staf, our visi-
    tors and our community
    is our top priority, a news
    release from Sascha Kar-
    dosz of Gonzales Memorial
    healthcare Systems notes.
    We are ready to imple-
    ment the precautions and
    protocols recommended
    by the Centers for Disease
    Control (CDC) in the event
    that a patient would arrive
    with symptoms of Ebola.
    Our preparations in-
    clude being alert to rap-
    idly identify patients with
    symptoms consistent with
    Ebola, especially if they
    have traveled from parts of
    Africa where many cases
    have occurred. We have
    procedures in place to tri-
    age, isolate and evaluate
    any patient who appears
    to have Ebola symptoms,
    Kardosz added. We rou-
    tinely care for patients with
    a variety of infectious dis-
    eases using universal pro-
    tocols and continually rein-
    force our infection control
    and prevention measures
    with our staf. We are dedi-
    cated to the health and
    well-being of everyone in
    our care, their families, our
    staf and the community.
    A group of 43 people
    in Texas who had contact
    with the states frst Ebola
    patient have been cleared
    from twice-daily moni-
    toring afer reaching the
    21-day mark, the longest
    incubation period for the
    disease, the Texas Depart-
    ment of Health announced
    this week. Te group is a
    mix of health care work-
    ers, household contacts
    and community members
    whose last possible contact
    with the states frst patient
    was Sept. 28.
    Te TDH said the in-
    dividuals have no Ebola
    symptoms and are not at
    risk of developing Ebola.
    Te states election code will be
    violated in Gonzales County on
    Election Day, but the County Clerk
    says the county has no choice in the
    matter because it cant fnd people
    willing to serve as election judges.
    County Clerk Lee Riedel said
    Tuesday she has received a com-
    plaint regarding the use of Rachel
    Trevino as the alternate presiding
    judge in Precinct 12, the box lo-
    cated at JB Wells Arena, on Elec-
    tion Day. Trevino is the mother of
    Democrat District Clerk candidate
    Bonnie San Miguel, and state law
    specifcally prohibits the immedate
    relative of a candidate from serving
    as an election judge or alternate.
    I dont get to pick em, Riedel
    said Tuesday. Te parties do that.
    And since I dont have enough
    judges to begin with, we dont re-
    ally have a choice.
    Riedel said the complaint does
    not question the integrity of Trevi-
    no, a Democrat, only her relation-
    ship to the candidate.
    Ive went to the party chairs and
    Im yet to hear back from them,
    she said. And since I havent heard
    back from the Republican judge in
    that precinct either, she may be the
    only judge we have there.
    Gonzales County Democratic
    Party chairman Eddie Escobar was
    in court on Tuesday and unavail-
    able for comment.
    State election code provides that
    the county chairmen of the two
    major parties nominate precinct
    judges and alternates, which are
