SPCA to host fundraiser party Saturday Hill Country Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will host its 14th annual Paddy’s Party Benefit, “Roaring 2020,” Saturday, Feb. 29, at the Venue at Rafter E Ranch, 170 Side Saddle Lane. The deadline to RSVP has passed, but tickets are still available for purchase. Individual tickets to attend the party cost $100 per person with sponsorship tables available at various levels. “Our annual event showcases amazing entertainment paired with amazing cuisine and local wine and spirits, and is one of the best casual

social events in our community,” said Jayne Elliott, HCSPCA board member. This year’s entertainment will feature The Colao Band. The San Antonio Current describes Ray Colao as “Tito Puente, Pitbull and Otis Redding all rolled into one.” The Colao Band is an award-winning variety show band. Cartewheels Catering will provide the food, a 1920’s-themed cuisine featuring lobster, caviar, beef carpaccio and roasted pork loin. Paddy’s Party will have a silent and live auction that

will feature trips to Ireland and Italy. Other auction items will feature wine, whiskey, art, furniture and jewelry. The event will also feature a balloon wall prize contest with a variety of gift certificates and a 1920’s dance and costume contest. This event will assist HCSPCA in providing food, shelter and medical treatment to abused and abandoned animals in the area. The HCSPCA anticipates more than 600 animals will be saved in 2020. “As the Hill Country grows, the number of aban-

doned and dumped animals increases,” Elliott said. “Each needs our help; each seeks a safe and loving home — a forever home.” HCSPCA focuses on preventing cruelty to domesticated animals, fostering responsible pet ownership through education and lowcost spay and neuter services and providing shelter and placement services for homeless and unwanted animals in the Hill Country.

Two ‘surveys’ we ALL need to fill out

f you’ve ever wanted to try on the role of social pariah, grab a clipboard and pen and head smack dab into the middle of a large group of people. You won’t have to worry about anyone bumping into you. Most people will simply dodge you, avoiding eye contact and pretending they didn’t see you there in your full clipboard glory. Others will avoid you at all cost, even making an awkward about-face to score their getaway. I know this from personal experience. Over the years, I have collected data from literally thousands of people at festivals, large and small, all across the county to help the organizers of these events assess their economic impact. And, through lots of trial and error, I’ve gotten pretty good at stopping perfect strangers and getting them to answer a set of questions. Trust me, though. When the shoe is on the other foot, I am often wary or impatient, despite feeling a healthy dose of empathy. For whatever reason, we as a human race, are not big fans of surveys. But there are two REALLY important ones coming up and both are worth our time and attention in return for major outcomes. Last week, the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce launched our 2020 Wage & Benefit Survey, with an expanded set of questions around healthcare, childcare and employee commutes. The data for this survey is being collected electronically, so you can send in your information at your convenience. Bunny slippers, bed head and a cup of coffee? Go ahead, no one will know. Individual responses to the survey will be kept strictly confidential. The data from this survey will be aggregated and reported on or before April 1. The report will be available to area employers as a benchmarking tool and to help them forecast how to remain com-

After 44 years, one of Fredericksburg’s family-owned floral shops will close its doors. “I remember when I first opened, I just had three little things on my shelves, nothing compared to what we have today,” said Dianna Blount, owner of Blumenhandler Florist with husband Don. The Blounts and daughter Stacey York own the shop, but Saturday, Feb. 29 will be the last day they will be open. One of Dianna’s favorite parts of owning the store has been the connections she has had with customers. “I have always enjoyed what I do and I love the people I interact with every day,” Dianna said. The Blounts also pride themselves in the personalization and customization they offer to the community. “You can’t buy just flowers here, you can also buy little gifts or pieces to make the arrangements more custom and personal,” Dianna said. “I think we have also been reliable and dependable and people here really appreciate that,” Stacey said. Before closing their doors, the store will offer 50% off the entire store as well as 75% off all Christmas décor. Special occasions Over the years, the staff at Blumenhandler has been involved with creating funeral casket sprays, homecoming mums, wedding arrangements and more. Dianna remembers working with Lady Bird Johnson. “I remember sitting and designing arrangements with her with wild-

flowers for parties that she would have,” Dianna said. The store also helped decorate Main Street for Christmas, provide flowers at the entrance to Oktoberfest, special events at the National Museum of the Pacific War, thousands of weddings and other events. “It’s overwhelming when people say how much they like the flowers that we have provided,” Dianna said. “I love doing funeral work, creating casket sprays that remind people of the person they just lost.” Stacey will continue to serve the community making homecoming mums, prom corsages and other simple arrangements. She is also avail-

able for bachelorette parties where groups can make flower arrangements or crowns. She will operate under the name Blumenkasten, German for flower box. “I just love people and making them happy with something as simple as flowers,” she said. “But I think I am going to miss working with my mom the most, since I grew up around all of this.” History Growing up, Dianna always loved flowers and making crowns or leis to put in her hair. She often brought her neighbors flowers and eventually decided to go to school and work in a flower shop

Chamber to present lunch and learn workshops Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce has announced its upcoming Lunch & Learn topics, a series of low-cost training programs designed to provide easy access to professional development to local businesses. On March 9, Jon Bean with LocalRev in Austin, will present a session entitled, “Tips to Strengthen Online Presence.” Today, 97% of consumers research online for local products and services. Bean has more than nine years of online marketing experience and is knowledgeable about how to leverage the internet and social media to improve how a business shows up online to attract more customers. He will share successful strategies to gain more consumer reviews and best practices on how to respond, even if they are not all positive. Clint Fiore, with Texas Business

Buyers, will present “Business Valuations 101: How to Know What a Business is Worth,” on March 23. This will be a value-packed discussion for existing business owners, those thinking of buying a business, or those who advise business owners (banker, CPA, consultant, wealth manager, etc). Attendees will learn some quick rules of thumb, some new vocabulary, and be able to ballpark a business’ value by the end of the workshop. Fiore owns Texas Business Buyers, LLC, a leading business brokerage and valuation firm and carries numerous industry certifications. On April 13, Jon Bean with LocalRev will return to present, “Everything You Need to Know About Google My Business.” Before most people ever see a company’s website, they’ll see the Google

business listing. This session will help business owners to be sure the listing is claimed and optimized with accurate information and pictures that help tell the company’s story. Attendees will learn to leverage the power of the Google My Business platform to target those consumers that are closest to their location or service area. Advance registration is required with Chamber members paying $20 and non-members paying $30. Attendance is limited to 15. Lunch & Learn workshops are presented by the Chamber on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. Attendees may bring their own lunch, with a selection of cold drinks and coffee provided.

Real estate agents receive awards Leadership traits of Nimitz examined at renovated gallery

ow! I had always been impressed with the stories I had read and heard about Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, but the newly renovated Admiral Nimitz Gallery at the National Museum of the Pacific War really brings his career and leadership traits to life. The gallery starts with the founding of Fredericksburg in 1846 and the building of the Nimitz Hotel to set the stage for the birth of Admiral Nimitz on Feb. 24, 1885, as well as his early life in Fredericksburg and Kerrville. The number of artifacts on display from Admiral Nimitz and his family is increased by 50% compared to the previous gallery, thereby giving a really personal look at the people and time. After 20-plus years of talking about the museum in my position at the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau, I really had very little knowledge about Admiral Nimitz’s family. The new gallery gives a closer look at them, as well. As the career of Admiral Nimitz unfolds on the story boards before you, a timeline of other historical events in Texas, the U.S. and the world runs along the bottom portion of the exhibit panel. Interactive exhibits will pique the interest of older children and adult museum attendees. These include a game on how to manage an 1860s hotel, as well as another

FCVB Notes Ernie Loeffler

interactive exhibit on situations that Nimitz faced in his career. You get to choose what you would do, and then you are shown how your answer ranked against other museum attendees. Another exhibit challenges you to refuel a battleship at sea. Not as easy as it might seem at first! One storyboard talks about Admiral Nimitz’s last visit to Fredericksburg in April of 1961. Then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson invited Nimitz to help host Konrad Adenauer, the first chancellor of West Germany, at the LBJ Ranch. Admiral Nimitz died on Feb. 20, 1966. He was entitled to a state funeral and burial at Arlington National Cemetery, but had chosen instead to be buried with a standard issue headstone in Golden Gate National Cemetery near San Francisco. His graveside service was held on Feb. 24, on what would have been his 81st birthday. At the end of the gallery, the key leadership traits of Admiral Nimitz are highlighted, including determination, handling disappointment, humility, optimism and morale, resourcefulness and decisiveness. This is a great educational moment for adults and students, alike.

If you hold a leadership position at your place of employment, in a nonprofit organization, at your church or at your school, you should plan a visit to the new Admiral Nimitz Gallery which is located in the original Nimitz Hotel building on East Main Street. If you own or manage a company in Fredericksburg, you could pay to have your employees attend a seminar on leadership somewhere at a fairly hefty cost, I am sure. Or you could take them all to the new Admiral Nimitz Gallery and then discuss the leadership traits Nimitz exhibited with your employees. Your visit will be well worth the $18 admission charge for adults, which includes access to all galleries of the museum. Admission for seniors 65-plus is $14, and the charge for active or retired military with ID is $12. Tickets to the museum are good for 48 hours. The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. After visiting the new gallery this past weekend, I am personally trying to determine which of Nimitz’s leadership traits I am doing an “OK” job on and which ones need some serious attention on my part! Thanks to the Admiral Nimitz Foundation, the Texas Historical Commission and many donors for this new look at our hometown hero.

representatives each state gets in Congress and is used to redraw district boundaries. New redistricting counts are due to be sent to the state by March 31, 2021, so it is critical that we not be underrepresented, especially when rural areas often times face an uphill battle for resources against growing urban populations. Speaking of resources, each year, the federal government distributes more than $675 billion in funding and guess what? Census Bureau data is one of the chief determinants of how those dollars are parceled out. The business world leans

heavily on Census data as well with companies slicing and dicing the numbers to find opportunities for expansion and to measure growth trends. On a local level, the Chamber’s wage and benefit information can be layered on to help businesses understand the human capital needed for growth. With loads of free and valuable information to be gained and no clipboard in sight, business owners would be very short-sided to not take a small amount of time to stand up and be counted.

To earn the Quality Service Pinnacle Producer Award, a C21 sales affiliate must receive completed customer surveys for at least 50% of their transactions surveyed from Jan. 1-Dec. 31, with an average survey score of at least 95 % or better for two consecutive years. Other Quality Pinnacle Producer Awards went to:

• Kathryn McHone, Kerrville. • Stephanie Clifton, Kerrville. • Valerie Chambers, Kerrville.

Those employees will receive a customized glass trophy and be recognized at the Century 21 Global Conference. “We are thrilled to recognize these agents’ work for this momentous achievement,” said Mike Miedler, chief executive officer, Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “This is an outstanding honor • E d d i e M i l l e r, since only a small percentFredericksburg. • Amber Carpenter, Kerrville. age of affiliated agents in the United States received this • Emily Petty, Kerrville. • Jessica Robinson, Kerrville. award for sales.”

Chamber conducting wage survey The Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce is conducting its 2020 Wage & Benefit Survey and invites both member and non-member businesses in Gillespie County to participate. “This is an important benchmarking resource for our members,” said Chamber President Penny C. McBride.

Local wines served at White House Wines from Southold Farm + Cellar, a Fredericksburgbased artisanal winery, were served at the Feb. 9 White House Governor’s Dinner in Washington, D.C. Owners Regan and Carey Meador said he did not know his wines would be included beforehand and were only recently notified they had been included. Southold’s 2017 Roussanne wine, “Don’t Forget to Soar,” was served with one of the courses. Southold has been reviewed in Wine Enthusiast, Texas Monthly and The New York Times.

“Business owners and managers can use the data to better understand the marketplace to recruit and retain workers. Additionally, the data may provide the Chamber with insights into member needs.” Links to the survey can be found on the Chamber website, Facebook page and

weekly electronic newsletter. Business owners can also call McBride at 997-5000 to receive the link by email. Individual survey responses will be kept strictly confidential. The 2020 Wage & Benefit Report will be compiled and reported, in aggregate, on or before April 1.

Right to Fair Taxation – Should Texas establish equitable taxation for people at all income levels and for businesses and corporations, large and small, so our state government can fund our educational, social, infrastructure, business, and all government services to improve programs necessary for all Texans to thrive?

Golf tourney proceeds donated to HC CASA Hill Country Court CASA was one of the 13 Court Appointed Special Advocates programs to receive a portion of the proceeds raised by Kwik Chek/McCraw Oil through its annual golf tournament. Kwik Chek/McCraw Oil has donated a portion of the golf tournament’s proceeds to CASA programs across Texas since 2009, totaling $560,000 in support to local CASA programs and the children they serve. “We are grateful for Kwik Chek and McCraw Oil for their longstanding support of CASA and the best interests of children and youth in the child protection system,” said Stephanie Cash, Hill Country CASA executive director. “This donation will help us make a difference in the lives of these most vulnerable children.” Hill Country CASA is one of the 72 local programs across the state that recruits and trains volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children in the child protection system. CASA

volunteers get to know these children individually and develop an understanding of their physical, emotional and educational needs in order to make informed recommendations to the court about placements to the court about placements and services. “CASA volunteers are everyday people doing extraordinary work by choosing to speak up for children in their communities,” said a CASA spokesman. “Often, they are the one constant presence in these children’s lives while they navigate the overburdened foster care system. Their mission is to help move these children out of foster care and into safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.” Hill Country CASA currently serves 137 abused or neglected children through 64 volunteers in Kerr, Kendall, Bandera and Gillespie counties. For information, contact Hill Country CASA at 830896-2272 or HCCASA@hccasa.org.

Pfiester Bridge work Dennis Neffendorf, Gillespie County Commissioner Pct. 3 requested county funds to obtain proposals to have a hydrologic/hydraulic analysis done on a bridge on Pfiester Road. Due to flooding and other deterioration, the bridge needs work, Neffendorf said. “We approved an advanced funding agreement in April 2019 for bridge replacement and rehabilitation for the bridge,” Neffendorf said. “This is an effort to try to properly design Pfiester Bridge at the right code of apex so the water comes into the bridge and the size, length and width is proper.” The project is estimated to take three years and this would be the preliminary study step to provide a design that would address concerns with flooding and everyday use. The study could cost between $40,000-$50,000, which provides a design of the bridge boxes, which then gives the cost of the installation of the bridge. Neffendorf will work closely with Texas Department of Transportation officials. “We need to get an estimate of what they want to charge

after the study is done and find out what the scope of service for their work is, then we would start constructing a new bridge,” Neffendorf said. Commissioners agreed to have the study conducted. Website Audit John Keller, Information Systems Administrator, requested an audit be done on Gillespie County’s website to ensure that it is ADA compliant. EZTask monitors the site and verifies that it is compliant. The group also identifies issues with corruption any time major changes are made and that content is compliant. “How do we know if our site is ADA compliant?” Stroeher asked. “We have tried to maintain this on an annual basis but it includes something as simple as documents read by an automated reader or text fonts, colors and more,” Keller said. The system will also identify concerns and problems and help the county correct them. Initial cost is $3,800 and will then be $1,700 on an annual basis. Commissioners approved the request.

World Day of Prayer service slated March 6 Holy Ghost Lutheran Church will host World Day of Prayer USA at 10 a.m. Friday, March 6.

The service is written by the women of Zimbabwe and the worship service is based on “Rise! Take your Mat and Walk.” This action is a call to love, peace and reconciliation, explained a spokesman.

preciation Fund, Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission, Catholic Daughters, St. Ann’s Society and St. Joseph’s Society. The event is not viewed as a fundraiser but as an effort to bring together those of all faiths to meet for dialogue, discussion and dining during the Lenten season, said a spokesman. For those who wish to attend, Stations of the Cross devotion will be at 6 p.m. on Fridays with plenty of opportunity to attend the meal following the

devotion, the spokesman said. This is the 11th year for the Lenten Fish Fry Dinners, and attendance has been outstanding from the community over the past 10 years, the spokesman said. Around 3,200 meals are served. Meals to go will be available, but there is no drive through, and diners are encouraged to stay and enjoy the fellowship. St. Joseph’s Halle is located at 212 West San Antonio Street.

World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year, the spokesman said. It is symbolized by an annual day of celebration — the first Friday of March — to which all people are welcome. All women, including men, are welcome to join in the special service. Holy Ghost Lutheran Church is located at 115 East San Antonio Street.

“This year’s theme is the ‘I Am’ statements in the Bible where God describes Himself using various images,” said the Rev. Bobby Vitek. DaVinci’s “The Last Supper” will be used as the format to play out each week’s “I Am”

statement as two disciples will have dialog over a specific related subject, Vitek explained. The public is invited. Holy Ghost is located at 115 East San Antonio Street. For more information, call 997-2288.

Young ‘Miracles’ Students in Camile Cohn’s Yellow Door Studio art classes recently completed their “Milagros” project, which is currently displayed in the window of The Haberdashery retail store at 221 East Main Street. The papier-maché milagros, which means “miracles” in Spanish, are religious folk art charms prevalent throughout Mexico. The students in the after-school art program created the milagros and wrote an artist statement about the miracles in their lives for which they are thankful.

Dear Friends and Neighbors of Gillespie County, My wife, son, and I moved back to her homestead property to help with the ranch and be close to her family a few years ago. Her family heritage goes back over 150 years in this community, and we wanted to raise our child surrounded by folks who value the same things we do—faith, family, community, hard work,and service to others. This community is all of those things, and we are so proud to be a part of it. I did not move here to run for Sheriff. But, as a husband, dad and highly-experienced law enforcement officer, I cannot sit back and ignore the issues that have been ignored for far too long. I am concerned for the future of the county and our citizens, including my family’s, if we continue to face these, and other issues: 700% INCREASE in DRUG-RELATED CRIMES during this current administration.

BILLIES GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

Regional trip on the line late FHS blows past area, plays Liberty Hill late By McKenzie Moellering Standard-Radio Post reporter

Solid defense led the Fredericksburg High School varsity girls’ basketball to a 65-31 victory against the El Campo Ricebirds on Friday night. With the win, the Billies advanced to the Region 4-4A quarterfinals. FHS faced Liberty Hill late Tuesday in Marble Falls. “We just had to focus on playing solid team defense and we did that,” head coach Carrie Grona said. El Campo inched close to the Billies in the first quarter but struggled to keep up, as the Billies outscored the Ricebirds 46-16 in the three remaining quarters of the game. “We wanted to pressure them just enough to make them uncomfortable and have to make quick decisions,” Grona said. FHS had strong shooting throughout the game which Grona contributes to lots of reps and time shooting during practice. FHS was led in scoring by junior Audrey Spurgin with 16 points. Spurgin added 12 rebounds, four steals and one assist. Freshman Ella Hartmann had 15 points, six assists, five steals and one rebound. FHS 65— El Campo 31 Friday, Feb. 21 in Pflugerville Scoring: Audrey Spurgin 16, Ella Hartmann 15, Brittley Bowers 8,

Liberty Hill With a win against El Campo, FHS faced Liberty Hill in the regional quarter finals Tuesday night, a team they lost to in the regional semifinals during the 201819 season. Grona contributed the season ending loss to too many turnovers and not being able to handle high pressure situations. “You can’t win a game with 31 turnovers, we couldn’t shoot on the outside and we just didn’t have our rhythm,” she said last season. “I think it had to do with us trying to do something in a highpressure situation.” FHS also lost to the Panthers earlier in the season, 50-44. To get a win, Grona said her team will have to take care of the basketball, commit fewer turnovers and pound it into the post and shoot higher from the outside. “Every team we face we have to make minor adjustments,” Grona said. “We just Fredericksburg junior Aubrey Spurgin goes to make a shot before being fouled in a 65-31 area round have to say healthy and keep win against the El Campo Ricebirds on Friday. Spurgin led the team with 16 points. — Photo by Richelle the team positive.” Wilson

FHS followed the loss by beating the Burnet Bulldogs, 63-37, in bi-district Monday, Feb. 24, at Marble Falls High School. Next up is a Class 4A area round game against the winner of the Stafford-La Grange bi-district game tonight. Stafford is the presumptive favorite after winning the District 25-2A championship and finishing the regular season with a 25-9 record. Stafford is No. 18 in Class 4A, according to the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches. FHS (33-1, 9-1) is No. 14 and Boerne is No. 16.

over in the team’s first-round game. FHS beat Burnet, 63-37, on Monday, Feb. 24, during the Class 4A bi-district round at Marble Falls High School. “Defense wins championships,” coach Tim Kaman said. “That is our mantra and it is written in our locker room. That was the key tonight. Burnet has three or four outstanding guards, and we knew it was going to be tough containing them.” FHS struggled to keep the Bulldogs’ ballhandlers under wraps during the first after allowing them to get lane penetration and an early sixpoint lead. After that, the Billies locked down the paint and kept Burnet from driving to the

FHS 63, Burnet 37 Class 4A bi-district round Monday, Feb. 24 The Billies’ defense took

hoop. “It was just a great game for us as a defensive team,” Kaman said. “We were able to contain their penetration, which is their bread and butter.” Junior Dillon Rabon provided a spark off the bench, leading FHS with 20 points. Junior Jayden Sanchez scored 15 points, including three 3s during the first half. “Those two guys came up huge tonight, and we needed it as the Bulldogs were not going to let FHS’ leading scorer Ryan Davis have the ball,” Kaman said. “This was a very good win. A nice way to bounce back from that onepoint loss to Boerne in the last district game.”

The Billies lost their District 28-4A finale to the Boerne Greyhounds, 53-52, at home Tuesday, Feb. 18. Davis scored 15 points and Sanchez added 14 in FHS’ losing effort. “What a great game,”

Kaman said. “That was the biggest crowd that we have ever had at a boys’ basketball game in the 25 years that I have been here. We definitely appreciate all the support. I am so proud of our guys. They fought so hard, and we just came up a little short.” FHS sent Boerne to the free-throw line in the waning seconds of the game, with the shooter making one of two shots to take the lead. The Billies had one more chance to win the game but failed to put up a shot, leaving the team with its first loss in 33 games. “Tough to see the streak stopped,” Kaman said. “I guess we just need to start a new one.” The loss means FHS and

Boerne tied for the 28-4A championship with 9-1 records. The Billies beat Boerne, 56-53, in overtime Jan. 31 in Boerne.

Billies frosh hoops finishes third in district loop Fredericksburg High School freshman boys’ hoops finished third place in district this season. The boys went 3-2 in their last five games to finish 5-5 in District 28-4A play, 14-11 overall. FHS beat Llano, 45-40; Bandera, 63-27, and Canyon Lake, 56-46. The team’s losses came to Wimberley, 55-45, and Boerne, 57-51. “The boys ended the season playing their best basketball of the year,” coach Adam Riley said. “This group of young men has grown tremendously over the course of the season. There were periods of inconsistency that did not live up to the standard of coach (Tim) Kaman’s program, marked by some pretty tough growing pains in the areas of team play, intensity and understanding roles. Despite the drawbacks, this group of guys battled through adversity and really played well the last round of

district ballgames. “They were repeatedly challenged by our coaching staff and really began to respond in a positive way to close the year. We were especially proud of the product on the floor in our

finale against Boerne. “Despite the outcome, the boys played with a lot of heart and had probably their best game of the year. There are still big steps that need to be taken by this group to get to

where we need to be prior to their sophomore season, so the work that they put in this off-season will be vital to the long-term success of our program. Thanks for a great year, guys.”

Billies fighting for district soccer title FHS boys have two wins, one tie heading into fifth 28-4A contest Fredericksburg High School varsity boys’ soccer gained an edge in the District 28-4A race with a big win Friday night. The Billies beat the Boerne Greyhounds, 2-0, to improve to 2-0-1 in district, heading into Tuesday night’s game against the defending Region IV-4A champs. “Friday’s game with Boerne was a classic,” coach Shannon Petsch said. “We started

out with a lot of energy and Boerne was able to match it.” Cesar Zelaya headed in a corner kick during the first half to give FHS a 1-0 lead. The Billies added another score a second time on Cristian Garcia’s free kick from 20 yards. Down 2-0 during the second half, Boerne applied strong attacking pressure and had the ball in FHS’

defensive half for most of the 40-minute period. The Billies’ defense, led by goalkeeper Peter Stenberg, helped preserve the win and the shutout. “It was a huge district game and really helped us out with the standings,” Petsch said. FHS played Canyon Lake on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at Canyon Lake High School. Results were not available as of press time.

FHS JV boys’ soccer The Billies’ junior varsity boys’ team won big against the Greyhounds. FHS beat Boerne, 4-0, on Friday at home. Yamil Uribe, Kaleb Torres, Jovany Alva and Enrique Alvarado scored FHS’ four goals. Miguel Sanz and Carlos Martinez combined to shut out Boerne. The Billies are 3-0 in District 28-4A play.

Harper carried a 25-8 season record into the game. Mason entered the game as the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches’ No. 6 team. The Cowgirls had a record of 28-4, which includes two district wins against the Ladyhorns.

The Ladyhorns also beat Thorndale, 39-31, on Friday, Feb. 21, in Marble Falls. Harper opened the game by shutting out Thorndale, 9-0, during the first. Thorndale was kept at arm’s length for the rest of the game, handing Harper its first second-round win since 2014’s trip to the Region IV-1A finals. Harper 39, Thorndale 31 Area round Feb. 21 at Marble Falls Thorndale 0 16 5 10 – 31 Harper 9 15 6 9 – 39 Scoring: Rachel Perkins 15, Kylie Wosley 11, Talli Millican 6, Gracie Green 6, Callie Koenig 1.

Fredericksburg High School varsity girls’ soccer recorded mixed results over the first three games of the district slate. The Billies opened District 28-4A play with a 1-0 win against Wimberley on Feb. 11 at Wimberley but followed with a 0-0 tie against Bandera on Feb. 14 and a 5-1 loss to Boerne on Friday, Feb. 21. FHS was 1-1-1 heading into Tuesday night’s game against Canyon Lake at home. Results were not available as of press time. FHS starts the second half of district play with a home game against Wimberley at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28, at FHS Stadium. The Billies also play

Bandera at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 3, at Bandera. FHS entered Tuesday with a 16-5-2 record. FHS 1, Wimberley 0 Feb. 11 The Billies only needed one goal to beat a tough Wimberley Texans team. Bentley Lees scored on a corner kick from Karina Gonzalez to give FHS a 1-0 win against Wimberley on the road. “I honestly think we caught Wimberley by surprise, and I expect another tough game the next round of district when they travel to Fredericksburg this Friday,” coach Logan Minshew said. Claire Nevins recorded the

shut out in goal. FHS 0, Bandera 0 Feb. 14 FHS didn’t capitalize on scoring opportunities against Bandera and ended the game with a scoreless tie. “Despite several great opportunities to score, we were unable to put the ball in the back of the net,” Minshew said. “We also had several mental lapses and were lucky to escape with a goalless draw.” Nevins once again preserved a clean sheet, recording four saves against Bandera. Boerne 5, FHS 1 Feb. 21 The Billies had a diffi-

cult time handling Boerne’s attack Friday. Boerne had 24 shots on goal in FHS’ 5-1 loss to the Greyhounds. FHS allowed an early goal but held Boerne back to keep it at a 1-0 game at halftime. Boerne came out of halftime and scored four more goals. The Billies cut the lead with Gonzalez’s goal, assisted by Perla Salazar, but were unable to mount a late comeback. “Hats off to our girls though, many of them put in a very hard shift,” Minshew said. “Seniors Claire Nevins and Sydney Holster fought hard to slow down the offensive powerhouse, unfortunately it just wasn’t our night.”

Billies sluggers open 2020 season with blowout win Fredericksburg High School varsity baseball rolled through its opening week opponent. Sophomore Jav ier Rodriguez drove in four runs, and pitchers Brady Staedtler and Cole Immel combined to hold Burnet’s offense in a 19-1 win on opening day Monday, Feb. 24, at Burnet High School.

Harper girls’ track is locked and loaded for a district title run. The Ladyhorns have to contend with Mason and San Saba to win the District 27-2A championship but a pair of state qualifiers leads Harper’s seven returning letter winners this season. Coach Willie Reid is optimistic about Harper’s chances of competition with Mason and San Saba this season. “First goal is always to win the district meet,” Reid said. “And again, this will be a tall order with San Saba and Mason having most of last year’s teams back, but I feel like we have numbers in the right area this year and will try and nickel and dime ’em to a championship. Secondly, we hope to have good numbers to get to regionals and then hopefully have some state meet qualifiers. We always want to get a kid to state so our school is represented.”

Two of Harper’s top athletes represented the school in last spring’s UIL Class 2A State Track and Field Championships. Senior Gracie Green and junior Rebekah Stracke return as district champs and Class 2A state qualifiers in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles, respectively. Green, who is wrapping up basketball season before diving into softball and track, is aiming for a fourth straight state trip. “Gracie Green, what an athlete, what a blessing to coach her,” Reid said. “She is a stud softball player for us which consumes a lot of time, considering two days a week she has games, but Gracie does that extra stuff I talked about. She will come up in the mornings when she needs to and will stay late on the days she can’t be here in the morning to make sure she prepares properly to continue to be one of the best hurdlers

in the state. “(We) will look for her work ethic to rub off on the others who are following in her footsteps as hurdlers as she works to get back to the show, where I know she wants to get, as well as hopefully getting higher on the awards podium.” Harper started the season with a tri-meet against Fredericksburg High School and Kerrville Tivy on Feb. 13.

County’s finest young guns Gillespie 4-Hers compete for BB shooting honors By Samuel Sutton Standard-Radio Post reporter

Gun safety and friendly competition were the focus of Gillespie County’s 35th annual 4-H BB Gun Competition Saturday, Feb. 22, at the Gillespie County Fair Grounds. Sammy Segner, who started the event when his daughter, Jennifer Spies was in second grade, said he enjoyed it so much that he didn’t want to quit once Spies aged out. One of the main reasons he’s enjoyed it is getting to teach kids how to stay focused on something. “My kid was one whose attention

span was very short and this helped them to go ahead and be able to focus for 10 minutes and be able to fire those 10 shots,” Segner said. The competition begins with contestants shooting in four positions — prone, standing, sitting and kneeling. Then, each of them takes a written test. In a time where guns are often seen in a negative way, Segner said this provides an opportunity to flip that script by promoting gun safety. “That’s why I do it,” Segner said. “I get so upset when something bad happens with guns and that’s all we hear on the news media.”

He likes to be able to show that it’s possible to teach people at an early age to respect guns and understand how they work. “It makes me feel really good to be involved with something like that and offer a positive side to something that’s viewed upon by the nongun people as so negative,” he said. The event saw 22 shooters qualify for the State 4-H BB Gun Competition, which will be on March 14 in the Show Barn at the fair grounds. Reed Spies earned the Houston Brown Memorial Award by finishing with 468-14 points in the four shooting categories and written test.

Three individuals were presented the Top Gun Award. Spies finished first with a 380.14, Katelyn Welch came in second with a 371.16 score, and Rylee Ottmers was third with a 367.9 score. Winners at state qualify for the 55th national competition, which will be held this summer in July in Rogers, Arkansas. The Top 22 finishers advancing to state are as follows (first number is total score, second number is center shots): 1. Reed Spies .................................... 468-14 2.

Gillespie County begins its seventh job readiness training session on Tuesday, Feb. 25. CJCGC plans to hold three training sessions in 2020 with the potential of training and empowering 30 individuals to find success in employment and life, according to J.D. Windham, executive director. Since 2017, CJCGC has graduated 20 women and men with the knowledge needed to pursue a career matched to his/her abilities and interest and the skills to be a valuable and productive employee, Windham said. Even more importantly, each graduate has left knowing his/herself better, with more confidence, a community of support and a plan to provide a better quality of life for his/herself and family, Windham said. Christian Job Corps of Gillespie County also continues a weekly outreach to the Gillespie County Jail. With separate sessions for men and women, volunteers have the opportunity to help inmates better understand themselves and others as well as discover their true value and worth in preparation to return to life outside the jail walls, Windham explained.

FHS boys’ track team finishes top four at Liberty Hill meet The Billies faced their first test of the season. Fredericksburg High School varsity and junior varsity boys’ track and field competed in the Liberty Hill Panthers Relays on Saturday, Feb. 22, at Liberty Hill High School. Varsity finished fourth and junior varsity came in sixth in their respective divisions. “It was a very competitive first meet of the year and the Billies had several outstanding performances,” coach Gilbert Renaud said. Senior Troy Kneese led the Billies with 23.5 points after winning the 400-meter dash, finishing second in the long jump and helping the 4x400meter relay team win gold. Kneese also ran a leg of FHS’ sixth-place 4x100 relay. Junior Kolby Wright finished second in both shot put and discus. Cristian Avilez finished first in discus and fourth in shot put. “The varsity competed at a

high level even though they were missing athletes with all of the extra-curricular activities as well as the flu bug going around.” Sophomore Dane Carter was junior varsity’s highest point earner, with 19.

Museum reopens, honors Day of Remembrance

Elevating cello

ometimes an idea is so elegant, it is discovered more than once. Such is the case with the “cello podium.” This platform cum amplifier started as a rumor uncovered by Ken Freudigman when he was a cello student at Eastman School of Music back in 1985. The musician had heard stories of a stagehand whose father had designed an acoustic cello podium. This was more than just a platform to raise up the cello player. It was an instrument in itself, designed with a soundboard and sound post to take the output from a bowed cello and amplify it above the orchestra. “There were stories that one was made, that everyone loved it, and then it disappeared,” said Freudigman. Even as he carved out a performance career as principal cellist with the San Antonio Symphony and co-founder of the classical ensemble Camerata San Antonio, Freudigman never forgot the mystery of the lost instrument. Twenty years later, with the advent of the internet, Freudigman played a hunch and began searching acoustical historical sites online. Eventually he stumbled

Guests flocked to the National Museum of the Pacific War last weekend to see Admiral Nimitz Gallery’s major renovations. Locals and tourists saw the culmination of two years of renovation work at the gallery on Saturday and Sunday. The entire floor plan was rearranged and a new gallery space was created, said Rorie Cartier, director of the National Museum of the Pacific War. “We’re able to tell a full story of (Chester Nimitz’s) life, as you go through the entire gallery,” Cartier said. Interactive games were installed to simulate operations of an 1860s hotel, similar to the Nimitz Hotel, where players welcome guests, cook food and keep the hotel warm and clean, while also attending livestock. The opening came the weekend before Admiral Nimitz’s birthday, which was Monday, Feb. 24. To celebrate, cupcakes, coffee and a movie were enjoyed in the Nimitz Ballroom on Sunday. Cartier reiterated the importance of Admiral Nimitz, and why the renovations were needed. “Nimitz is Fredericksburg’s favorite son, so there was a lot of pressure for us to get it right, and I think we did,” Cartier said. Guests gave positive feedback about the renovations. Don McGlamery, who visited from Houston, called it “impressive.” “The decisions in leadership (game) is a lot of fun to work

across the plans. The story could have ended there, and in fact Freudigman filed and forgot about the drawings. Until one day he was preparing for a solo with the San Antonio Symphony. He resurrected the plans for a cello platform. Now all he needed was someone to build it. He found perhaps the best person in the musical universe to do that. Freudigman recalled meeting Frank Strazza at a Camerata San Antonio concert. Along with being an accomplished cellist, Strazza is a master-level woodworker based in Bandera. He crafts fine works using hand tools and time-honored techniques. “I said, hey, Frank, would you be interested in making this thing,” Freudigman recalled. “He, being a cellist, was thrilled. I couldn’t think of anyone else who could do this. His craftsmanship is off the charts. There is not a nail in this thing.” Before Strazza could start building, he had to decipher the plans. “Ken had a faded copy of a drawing drafted in 1963,” Strazza said. “I tried to find more plans, but couldn’t find anything. So, I had to interpret this one page, faded drawing into the box we have now.” Strazza got to work. He played around with the original plans, making modifications using experience he had gained from a lifetime of craft-

ing. He fashioned a soundboard from quarter-sawn spruce, curving it to simulate the top of an instrument. He installed a sound post to connect the soundboard to the top, to amplify the sound as an instrument would. He left the sides open with a fabric covering to allow the sound to be projected outward to the audience. He used the same woods used in violin-making — spruce, fir, and curly maple. Freudigman now has the podium in his possession. He has used it for concert performances, and is entranced. “The cello by itself is a very beautiful and powerful instrument, but the range in which it lies can be covered up by an orchestra, even if you are a loud player,” Freudigman said. “This podium actually helps amplify the sound, because the box itself is a musical instrument. And while it amplifies the sound, it also maintains the timbre and color of the instrument, just helping to project the frequency in a better way.” Strazza is experimenting with modifications to make it more economically viable for the average cellist. But he has no interest in “assembly line” work. “This is a glorified box,” Strazza noted. “Actually, I am more intrigued with instrument making, that’s what I do. This is more about the fine art of combining music and wood

— that is the passion where my worlds collide.” For now, Strazza’s cello podium may be the only one of its kind in the world. While there have been others, none rise to this level of complexity. “I hope for Frank to be able to build more of them,” Freudigman said. “It is a real asset for cellists. It is not cheap, but

for orchestras it would be a very good investment. Any box can elevate the cellist and project the tone of the instrument, but this version has the internal workings to do that better.” Phil Houseal is a writer and owner of Full House PR, www.

Three of the state’s most celebrated Latina musicians will be on stage at the Odeon Theater in Mason as the Texicana Mamas at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 29. The newly-minted trio — Tish Hinojosa, Stephanie Urbina Jones and Patricia Vonne — has already created a buzz from Washington, DC, New York, Nashville and now the Odeon. Their musical influences include folk, conjunto, Americana, flamenco, country and Lone Star country-rock. Hinojosa is a modern pioneer among Latina performers. She is a frequent performer at the Kerrville Folk Festival and Austin’s showcase songwriters’ venues. She has performed for President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton, and has teamed up with artists such as Joan Baez, Booker T. Jones, Flaco Jimenez, Pete Seeger and Dwight Yoakam. Hinojosa is a multiple Austin Music Award Winner. Vonne is a one-of-a kind Tex-Mex original.

She has worn many hats in her day — singer, songwriter, bandleader, actress, activist, award-winning animator and more. She has appeared on the silver screen as Dallas (aka Zorro Girl) in the Sin City films directed by her brother, Robert Rodriguez. Urbina Jones made the move from Austin to Nashville to work with the Texas Tornados’ management agency. She was the first artist in the 93-year history of the Grand Ole Opry to bring mariachi to the stage. Before she knew it, she’d penned the title track of a Lorrie Morgan album. It was the start of a musical road that saw her embrace both commercial country music and Latin-rooted Americana. Tickets for the concert are $20 in advance of the show and $25 at the box office. Tickets may be purchased online at www.theodeontheater.com. For more information, call 325-347-6781.

Artist to lead water media workshop Registration is now open for artist Kathie George’s combination watercolor-batik and watercolor-media workshop in Fredericksburg from March 16-18. The workshop will be held at the Baron’s Creek Conference Center on the grounds of the Fredericksburg Inn and Suites, 201 S. Washington St. George teaches workshops all across the country, as well as conducting international destination workshops in Italy, France and Spain. Her work is primarily water media and collage, but she is best

known for her “watercolor batik.” “Her batiking process is an exciting one, building layer upon layer of wax and color on Japanese Ginwashi rice paper as the painting progresses,” a spokesperson said. Other mediums to be examined will be the use of Geli Plates to “pull” prints and create collages, as well as creating watercolors through the use of texturizing and stenciling with overlays using the rich accents or pastel pencils. All levels of painters, beginner to advanced, are encour-

aged to join this workshop which will be taught in a stepby-step manner. A list of general supplies will be provided upon registration. George will also provide palettes of watercolor paint at a minimal cost to those who are new to the medium, but still wish to learn the process. Basic cost is $325 for the three-day seminar. To register for the class, contact Jane Drynan, 830-3073398 for further details as well as to receive a complete listing of future 2020 artist workshops.

DRT to celebrate Texas History Month Daughters of the Republic of Texas’ Dr. Wilhelm Keidel Chapter, Fredericksburg, reminds all that March is Texas History Month, a time to fly the Texas flag and celebrate the state’s history. Recognizing the importance of Texas history, in June 2003, the Legislature declared March 1-31 of every year as Texas History Month. Members are asked to fly the Texas flag during March and to promote the celebration of the upcoming Texas Honor Days: Texas Independence Day (March 2), Texas Flag Day (March 2), Alamo Heroes Day (March 6), and Goliad Heroes Day (March 27). In near freezing temperatures, 54 delegates elected from all municipalities in Texas convened on March 1, 1836, at Washington-on-theBrazos. A resolution was adopted without debate for the appointment of a committee to draft a declaration of independence from Mexico. Those appointed were George Childress, chairman, and Edwin Conrad, James Gaines, Bailey Hardeman and Collin McKinney. The next day, March 2, Childress presented a draft to the convention, and on the motion of Sam Houston, the Texas Declaration of Independence was adopted. Titled, “The Unanimous Declaration of Independence, by the Delegates of the People of Texas, in General Convention, at the Town of Washington, on the Second Day of March, 1836,” Texans had declared themselves a free and independent republic. Five additional delegates arrived, making a total of 59 signers along with the convention president, Richard Ellis, to the Texas Declaration of Independence. Flag Day for Texas was declared by the Legislature in 1915. A law was later passed on March 2, 1933, establishing rules for proper display of

the flag and a pledge to the flag, “Honor the Texas Flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible.” On March 6, 1836, the siege of the Alamo was ended when Santa Anna’s forces stormed the Alamo and killed all of the defenders. The names of those defenders who died that day are recorded on a granite memorial. Annually the Alamo Mission DRT Chapter in San Antonio holds an observance at the Alamo to honor the patriots who died there. On March 27, 1836, following the fall of the Alamo, the Mexican Army, under the command of Gen. Santa Anna, attacked Col. James W. Fannin’s men at Goliad. Fannin was forced to surrender, the men believing they would be treated honorably as prisoners of war. The prisoners were marched back to La Bahia presidio at Goliad and were executed. In all, 342 Texans lost their lives at Goliad on March 27, 1836. Their remains were burned and left unburied for almost three months until the bones were gathered and buried in a mass grave with full military honors by Gen. Thomas J. Rusk. In later years, markers were erected, the gravesite authenticated by University of Texas anthropologists, and on June 4, 1938, a massive pink granite monument was dedicated as part of the Texas Centennial. For information on joining the Dr. Wilhelm Keidel DRT chapter, ladies are asked to visit www.drtinfo.org or email drwilhelmkeidel@drtinfo.org. Any woman having attained her 16th birthday is eligible for membership provided she is a lineal descendant of a man or woman who rendered loyal service for Texas prior to the consummation of the Annexation Agreement of the Republic of Texas with the United States on Feb. 19, 1846.

Considerations BY MATT

WARD

Continue the conversation online at www.cinematicconsiderations.com

the film falls flat from the outset with an unnecessarily confusing, lackluster screenplay. Hathaway stars as an investigative journalist whose pursuit of the story overlaps with a guilt-propelled errand thrust upon her by her unstable father and pushes her into the middle of an international labyrinth of drugs and violence that could prove to be her undoing. The former Academy Awardwinning actress is an apt choice for audiences to follow around for the majority of the film’s two-hour run time, but Hathaway plays the character at such a cautious distance that it’s nearly impossible for viewers to get fully behind her performance enough to maintain interest in the haphazard political intrigue. Her best moments come in the film’s opening third, which takes advantage of Hathaway’s emotional intensity both verbally and within her eyes. This manifests itself differently as her character inves-

tigates potential war crimes in Latin America versus personal crisis with her father as well as her daughter at boarding school. Hathaway is well matched with veteran character actor Willem Dafoe, an alert and present performer willing to take risks as Hathaway’s estranged father slowly deteriorating mentally. Their scenes are dynamic and resonate with audiences long after Dafoe leaves the screen, a rarity in Rees’ film. Although Dafoe does venture over into the realm of caricature at times, his performance still carries large segments of “The Last Thing” with a bright, engaging turn that breathes life into the sails of the narrative. The weakest link in the film is Affleck’s stiff, dry turn as a political instigator from Washington with questionable motivations. If the description of the character feels vague, it’s likely because Affleck doesn’t bring much to the performance beyond a simple, almost clinical recitation of dialogue from Rees’ screenplay and it doesn’t hold up comparatively to his recent work in another Netflix original film, J.C. Chandor’s 2019 feature “Triple Frontier.” As is to be expected with a high-budget political thriller, “The Last Thing” rounds out its considerable supporting cast with a cavalcade of mod-

Short term loss, long term value ith a seemingly endless budget, Netflix continues to pour money into project after project with avid disregard for the bottom line. This strategy may seem counter-intuitive to budget conscious business owners, but for film lovers, the streaming service writing blank checks to everyone from Martin Scorsese to Noah Baumbach to Michael Bay is an overall win. Some productions may miss the mark financially, but the expansive spending spree has given filmmakers a chance to produce more daring endeavors and creative risks that should make directors better at their craft. Dee Rees — an AfricanAmerican writer/director who broke out in 2017 with the Oscar nominated drama “Mudbound” — received a major push from the streaming service for her follow-up feature based on a Joan Didion novel of the same name, “The Last Thing He Wanted,” which premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and dropped on Netflix last weekend. Filled with major star power in Oscar winners Anne Hathaway and Ben Affleck and the promise of an emerging filmmaker, “The Last Thing” has the pizzazz and the cinematic bravado necessary for a taut political thriller, but

a relatively straightforward narrative. This feels more a fault of Rees as screenwriter — a credit she shares with Marco Villalobos — than as a director as her visual storytelling is sometimes engaging and always interesting with strong cinematography from Bobby Bukowski. For a variety of reasons, “The Last Thing He Wanted” doesn’t really pull together as a compelling narrative but the shades of a taut politi-

cal thriller can be seen in the shadows. Ultimately, this makes Netflix’s spending to give Rees a chance to grow as a filmmaker worth their investment and “The Last Thing He Wanted” is a perfect movie for audiences interested in the genre to take a low-risk chance on. Matt Ward is a programmer for the Hill Country Film Festival and local film critic, who is also a Rotten Tomatoes reviewer.

Concert event benefits Hub meals program A benefit concert, silent auction and prize drawing was held at Western Edge on Main Street for the Golden Hub Meals On Wheels program on Sunday, Feb. 16. “Organizers of the benefit, Dan and Lisa Cowart, did a fantastic job of getting outstanding talent, awesome auction items, and great prizes for the event,” said Denise Usener, director of the Golden Hub Community Center. “Western Edge owners K.K. and Kelly were so generous in providing the perfect venue and 10% of their sales during the event hours,” Usener said. “The evening’s atmosphere was full of fun and fellowship as patrons generously donated funds to support our local Meals on Wheels program,” Usener said. “The music was lively and provided the perfect entertainment for an afternoon of comradery and giving.” All the proceeds from the event will go directly to providing hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors and disabled people in Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas of Gillespie County, Usener explained. “We are so thankful for such a generous community and appreciate the outpouring of support Meals on Wheels received during this evening from everyone who helped organize the event, the business owners who donated goods for the auction and drawing, the musicians, Western Edge and all those who gave of their time and money,” Usener said.

A vegetarian dish sans lecture I

was reading a newspaper article from New York the other day about the thing I probably like least. There’s a hot hip new restaurant serving cheese made from cashews, steak tartare made from split peas colored with beet juice and even foie gras made from ground sesame seeds. This latest NYC hotspot is devoted to vegetables that look and taste like meat and dairy. I prefer vegetables that look and taste like vegetables. The news story did remind me, however, of my longtime fascination with vegetarians — a fascination made all the more, well, fascinating by the fact that I’ve never been remotely tempted to become one. I’m simply someone who prefers meat in smaller servings than some, with lots and lots of vegetables. Over the years, vegetarians have suggested that my meat comes in such small portions anyway that I could easily go all the way. To which I’ve generally recoiled in horror. I won’t be ambling toward New York’s West Village anytime soon, even out of curiosity what their critic-praised beef bourguignon might taste like. I hear the unmistakable voice of Julia Child in my ear, pleading: Don’t eat anything that’s not what it pretends to be. Eat only good real food,

trum of vegetarian lifestyles, all with off-putting, technical, anti-pleasure names. Vegetarians can simply eat no red meat, which is the default position. Yet, “pescatarians” do allow themselves fish, while “lacto-ovos” can eat milk and eggs, thus their name. Vegans, the way we see it, are the true hard cores, who deny themselves any and all of the above, seldom without explaining at great length why. And then, there’s me. I’m a guy who loves vegetables, pretty much all vegetables, especially when they’re caramelized to drag their natural sugars to the surface and become crusty, sweet and golden brown. The kind of guy who can buy into the popular observance Meatless Mondays, though equally likely to prepare a meatless meal any day of the week. I remember learning years ago that humankind appeared as history’s great omnivore, built by survival instinct to live off practically anything. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. And the next time I make Julia Child’s signature bouef bourguignon, you can be sure the “boeuf” won’t actually be split peas masquerading among the thyme, bay leaves and pinot noir.

and eat it in the portions your body can handle. Moderation, preached the late great Julia. Moderation, not sleight of hand. There are many aspects of vegetarianism that annoy those of us who aren’t. The politics often on display, for one thing — politics that become for some a kind of religion. You can’t even guess what each vegetarian’s beliefs might be, since some are protesting the cruelty of raising, slaughtering and eating animals, while others see “vast conspiracies” aimed at ruining our health in the name of nefarious profit. Still others, especially in India, embrace a meatless life as part of their authentic religious and philosophical views. A few simply had a traumatic experience eating meat at some point and swore off from that moment to this. Non-vegetarians are also confused by the broad spec-

Blistered Pepper Pad Thai This slightly non-vegan version of the iconic Thai street food does use scrambled eggs – because we really love what they do in this dish. And to us at least, eggs are not meat. Obviously, there’s a whole lot of different tastes and textures working their magic in each bite of this pad Thai. You can leave out the eggs and get 97% percent of the pleasure (yes, we measured). Or you can leave them in. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups sliced mini-bell peppers, red, yellow and orange 1 onion, thinly sliced 3 spring onions, chopped, white and green parts separated 2 carrots, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup cooked green peas ¼ cup dry sherry 3 cups cooked Thai rice noodles 1 cup Dr. Foo’s Kitchen Tamarind Pad Thai Stir-Fry Sauce Juice of 1 lime Sriracha, to taste

1 teaspoon lemon pepper 3 eggs, scrambled Cilantro leaves Cook sliced peppers in olive oil at medium high heat in a large skillet or wok until they start to blister. Remove them from the pan. Add the onion, white parts of the green onion and carrots until they begin to caramelize, adding the sherry about halfway through. Then stir in the garlic and peas for 1 minute more. Return the mini-bells to the pan and stir briefly together. Add the Dr. Foo’s and stir to coat everything evenly. Squeeze on the lime and spoon in sriracha to taste. Sprinkle with lemon pepper. Stir in the scrambled eggs and serve hot, garnished with cilantro leaves and the green parts of spring onions. Serves 4-6.

Don’t wait until it’s too late! Scientific studies have proven that if hearing loss goes untreated, a condition called “auditory deprivation” occurs.

USE IT OR LOSE IT! The longer your hearing loss goes untreated, the more likely it is your brain will actually “forget” how to hear.

But there’s good news! High-quality rechargeable hearing instruments can ensure the auditory centers of your brain “stays busy,” minimizing the effects of auditory deprivation.

Courses helping students at Primary School

Fredericksburg Standard

By Jessica Stuewe

When you think of a Texas high school marching band, what usually comes to mind is rigorous practice for hours after school, parades and maybe even band camp. But there’s a part of the music program at Fredericksburg High School that is not completely centered on competiStuewe tion. This year, the band and Life Skills programs at FHS are participating in a nationwide program called United Sound. United Sound is an organization that provides collaboration between band members and Life Skills students to teach the Life Skills students how to play an instrument. Jason Younts, Director of Bands for Fredericksburg Independent School District, shared his insight on how United Sound operates. “We have nine new musicians, and each musician has three mentors,” Younts said. “You have one mentor who is typically the music follower. One of the mentors is giving the direct instruction, or just having a conversation with the musician. Then, the third mentor is sitting next to the musician, helping them with some of the physical manipulations.” Although band requires strict See UNITED  D9

Coming into school at a young age can be intimidating. New experiences like being away from your parents and being surrounded by new faces, learning to share, and making friends, are all a part of growing up. This shift to a new environment can be difficult for some students, but Kitzmiller what can make it even more of a challenge is when students are coming to a school that does not teach in their native language. As Fredericksburg becomes more diverse, the Fredericksburg Primary School is working in tandem to support these new English language learners. A school that has 20 or more students enrolled in any one grade level, who speak the same language, must offer a bilingual program. Fredericksburg Independent School District offers dual language “one-way” for grades PK-5. With a one-way model, the program teaches English learners in two languages. “Our students have different backgrounds, mostly in Spanish and English, so they learn in both languages,” bilingual Pre-K teacher Hilda Nevarez said. “The child is exposed to the second language, so they learn in both English and in Spanish, so by the end, hopefully, they will become beautiful bilingual people.” According to Fredericksburg Primary School principal Wendy Dietrich, the dual language classes make it easy for younger children to begin to transition from their native language into English.

First grade students Nicole Ayala, Lesly Vargas and Alexia Suarez work on language skills in Lisa Toepperwein’s class at Fredericksburg Primary School as part of their dual language program. — FHS Mesa photo

The program is still relatively small, and it is open to any student who does not list English as their first language. “We currently have two Pre-K4 dual language classes, two kindergarten classes, two first grade classes and one Pre-K3,” Dietrich said. “We are currently one-way, meaning only English language learners can qualify for the program, but we are hoping one day to begin a dual language ‘two-way’ model that will be made up of English language learners and non-English language learners. The goal is for students to learn knowledge and skills on grade level using the native language while learning a second language. Knowledge and skills in the first language transfer to the second language.” Research shows that people are most capable of learning new languages at a very young age when the

parts of the brain are still developing. By utilizing this stage of cognitive development, it will be easier to tear down language barriers in the future. “I instruct math and science in English, and my partner-teacher teaches language arts and social studies in Spanish,” first grade teacher Lisa Toepperwein said. “They bring in ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers to work in the program so that we can eventually go two-way so that kids from more diverse backgrounds and English-speaking kids can hopefully learn two languages, as well.” According to Dietrich, the most difficult piece of the program so far has not been teaching children in both languages, but rather retaining the teachers certified to do so. Bilingual teachers are in high demand, but the Fredericksburg ISD

Education Foundation is funding additional stipends for all bilingualcertified teachers for Pre-K through fifth grades. These stipends will help in retaining bilingual teachers like Nevarez and adding consistency to the program. “My students bring values of respect and humility from their homes and it’s just a beautiful thing to see them speaking in both languages,” Nevarez said. “Being bilingual is such a powerful thing, and for me, being a bilingual teacher is more than a job; it’s my passion. Seeing them grow and thrive in a positive atmosphere and expanding academically each day is amazing.” Emmaline Kitzmiller is a junior at Fredericksburg High School. She is a Campus Comet newspaper student, and she runs track and cross country.

Another hamstring for local government GOP ballot measure proposal about increasing control by state, partisans

oes anyone think a state lawmaker knows more about running a school district than a superintendent or school board members? Neither do we. That’s why we find no good in the so-called ban of “taxpayer-funded lobbying” proposal in the Republican ballot measures during this primary election. Proposition 3 on the GOP primary ballot states “Texas should ban the practice of taxpayer-funded lobbying, which allows your tax dollars to be spent on lobbyists who work against the taxpayer.” That redundantly worded proposition glosses over what local governments do and it gives no mention of what they can’t do — lobby for political outcomes. Just as school boards and many municipal and county governmental positions are mostly volunteer, especially in rural Texas, this “ban” would mean local governments could not stick up for themselves in the law-making arena. Locally, governmental employees can’t advocate for or against local issues, even if they believe it is in the best interest of the community. A “ban” would mean local governments would have to rely on those same volunteers to lobby their legislators, as they represent their board and work their real jobs, in many cases. This amounts to yet another bully tactic to try and seize control of local governments. And it would also leave the wellheeled, agenda-driven partisans with

little to no opposition. School districts, cities and counties regularly get knocked for spending too much, yet they deal with increased mandates from the state legislature, as well as increased property values. This would punish the very governments who made our cities and counties good places to live, and our schools good places to entrust the education of our children. These are the governmental entities that are closest to the people, so they are the most responsible for their own decisions. Some legislators have gotten so cynical about public schools — or now they are becoming known as “government schools,” as though they are 1920s orphanages with poor conditions and zero redeeming qualities. As products and supporters of public schools, we take huge exception to that characterization. Our schools, our cities and our counties are run by our local governments, and they are the most efficient way to educate our populace, and handle the myriad issues that face municipalities and counties. Voters had best stop feeling like they have to apologize for public schools and other local governments or legislators with an agenda to promote vouchers are going to gut them. That would be the very worst thing for the State of Texas and it would mean adverse effects for generations. This Texas Public Schools Week, let’s remember why we support our schools that support all students, as well as our cities and counties, and let’s not hamstring them with unnecessary limits. Vote no on this silly proposal. – K.E.C.

Dive into a hero’s way of thinking A dmiral Chester W. Nimitz, Fredericksburg’s native son and champion of the Pacific during World War II, did extraordinary things during his career. His actions during the war show his strong leadership style that he developed, being placed in impossible situations and reacting with both humility and confidence. Read our coverage of the Nimitz Gallery opening and Ernie Loeffler’s column on page A7 for details on the gallery experience. Mostly, go there and soak in how a man

from humble origins became a hero of the world’s most pivotal conflict to date. The new exhibits expertly and attractively give a glimpse into how this hero thought and what drove his decisions. Congratulations and thanks to Museum Director Rorie Cartier and all of the staff who helped steer this project to completion. We also thank those who serve on the Admiral Nimitz Foundation, which continues to do amazing things to honor Fredericksburg’s native son and bring family friendly draws to town. — K.E.C.

A new calling for this caring town Grace Center will help the vulnerable and change lives

hristine and I attended a special event on Friday night, one that will hopefully serve as a catalyst to open people’s eyes to a problem unseen through the “Aspenly” image of Fredericksburg and Gillespie County. (Insert eye roll.) A dinner for supporters of The Grace Center was the first of many informational sessions explaining the vision for a local women’s shelter. Some generous person has donated land (that’s not cheap around here) and the board has its nonprofit paperwork ready to go. The idea came about after members of the Gillespie County Ministerial Alliance learned the most frequent call for law enforcement was responding to domestic violence. The goal of The Grace Center will be to provide housing, food and support services to victims of domestic violence, which are too often women and their children. At this center, these victims can get support, be welcomed into a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, and learn their options for transitioning to another phase of life. We’ve written before about domestic violence and its prevalence, even in our community that is thought of as charming and, well, Mayberry-ish. (Maybe not so anymore.) Domestic violence calls are a response to many things — the stresses families have with finances, jealousies, immaturity, vindictiveness and more. We all have our weaknesses, and too many let their weakness be manifested through physical violence. Many times, it is a learned trait after being

raised in a home with a violent parent. I was so fortunate to be raised in a home free of parental violence. Today, my parents are still in love at ages 84 and 82. But I was fortunate to not have to worry about that as an everyday stress as a child. Yet too many children do live with it today. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence states that: • 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence (beating, burning or strangling) by an intimate partner in their lifetime. • One in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year, and 90% of those children are eyewitnesses to this violence. • Between 21 to 60% of victims of intimate partner violence lose their jobs due to reasons stemming from abuse. It’s easy to see how it becomes a vicious cycle. And it doesn’t just happen in blue-collar workers where finances may be a stress point. One woman who spoke about how the facility in Boerne changed, and perhaps saved, her life had an MBA and a sixfigure salary. But she struggled with a man who couldn’t control his anger and who manipulated her in mental and physical ways. It takes bravery to admit that to a roomful of strangers, yet it was obvious part of her new calling is to help others who may be in a position she faced, and make sure fewer victims live in these terrifying situations. The Grace Center will be a place of healing and hope. It

will be able to house dozens of families and it will be built with the possibility for expansion (a sad reality as our population grows). There are so many good people on this initial board of directors, talented architects working on the facility plans, and generous and kind-hearted donors ready to assist. We thank those who spearheaded this effort and we hope everyone reading this will also agree to pitch in and help get this center constructed. It is this community’s new calling.

ΩkecΩ Lastly, a few words from business thinker Seth Godin. These concern the time we spend on our cell phones: Wasting it When you bought your first smartphone, did you know you would spend more than 1,000 hours a year looking at it? Months later, can you remember how you spent those hours? When you upgraded to a new smartphone, so you could spend more hours on it, did you think about how you had spent so much of your “free” time the year before? If we wasted money the way we waste time, we’d all be bankrupt. Mr. Godin’s good thoughts apply to everyone. There is nothing like a real connection, a real conversation or reading a real book. ken@fredericksburgstandard.com

THIS DAY IN HISTORY On this day in history, two national parks were established in the United States 10 years apart–the Grand Canyon in 1919 and the Grand Tetons in 1929. Located in northwestern Arizona, the Grand Canyon is the product of millions of years of excavation by the mighty Colorado River. Ten years later to the day, President Calvin Coolidge signed into law a bill passed by both houses of the U.S. Congress establishing the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. — The History Channel

Governor sets survivor clemency AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott on Feb. 20 established a clemency application specifically for survivors of human trafficking or domestic violence. The application, crafted in coordination with the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, includes a section that affords the applicant an opportunity to provide a statement to the board regarding their human trafficking or domestic violence victimization. Human trafficking and domestic violence, according to the governor’s office, often lead victims down a path of offenses that entraps them in a vicious cycle of abuse and associated crime. Abbott’s announcement coincides with the launch of a new public awareness campaign informing survivors that they can submit an application for Board of Pardons and Paroles to review and consider recommending that the governor grant a full pardon for crimes committed while under the grips of a trafficker or an abusive partner.

State Capitol Highlights By Ed Sterling TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION

“Texas is committed to empowering the survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking, and one of the surest signals of that goal is laying out a true path to redemption and restoration,” Abbott said. “The gubernatorial pardon plays an important role in this redemption process, because it offers a second chance to survivors with criminal convictions resulting from their abuse or exploitation. I am grateful for our ongoing partnership with the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles as we work together to develop a stronger justice system that promotes redemption, restoration and transformation,” Abbott added. In his recent announcement proclaiming January as Human Trafficking Prevention Month, Abbott applauded state lawmakers

for passing legislation to provide survivors with “streamlined access to a clean criminal record and a fresh start.” AG supports bankruptcy Some 42 state attorneys general joined Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a Feb. 20 letter expressing support of the Bankruptcy Venue Reform Act of 2019. If passed by Congress and signed into law by the president, the federal legislation would prevent forum shopping during bankruptcy litigation. Paxton said such a law would provide protection to consumers, workers, retirees, shareholders and small business vendors “who are currently harmed by the onesided right for corporate debtors to choose whichever court they prefer.” Currently, Paxton said, individuals can only file bankruptcy in their district of residence. Corporations, on the other hand, have a wide choice of possible venues, which can be manipulated to their own advantage, he added.

Traits, not names, show identity G et this: New parents are giving newborns outlandish names so they’ll stand out on social media.

precious, special gift to the universe. Sure, times change and baby names follow trends. But don’t forget this timeless truth: We all have to make a name for ourselves. Our actions, not our names, define who we are. Are we honest or a bit sketchy? Compassionate or hard-hearted? Thoughtful or close-minded? Courageous or someone who looks the other way when we see someone else doing wrong? We freely choose our paths, and our real “names” - our real identities - will reveal themselves, regardless of the names we’re given at birth. I’m named after my father and his father. I’m the fourth Thomas James Purcell to have the honor of that name. My name carries a spiritual meaning. Many Christian saints and biblical heroes were named Thomas (including the doubting one). By giving me this name, my parents hoped to bestow good values on me. With my common name,

I never took myself too seriously - I knew I wasn’t the center of anybody’s universe. Flawed though I am, I hope my dad thinks I’ve lived up to our shared name. I do understand new parents wanting to give their kids a head start in life. But they ought to be careful. An outlandish, “unique” name may do more harm than good. “Tessadora” sounds like a 1970s Chrysler luxury sedan that never caught on with the public. Will “Tessadora” be as dated 30 years from now as bell bottoms are today? “Wrenlow” sounds like a bird that’s afraid to fly high. Opportunities abound for bullies to make fun of a name like that. That’s one thing that Tom, Bob and Tim - and Linda, Elizabeth and Carol - will never have to worry about.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for FES ‘Oscars’

It can sometimes seem that we live in a world that is more divided than united. Yet, living in Fredericksburg affords us many opportunities to be reminded that we are, in fact, part of a wonderful and caring place, held together by a common belief in doing good for others. Here’s just one example from last week. To encourage a love of reading, the librarians at Fredericksburg Elementary School planned and hosted an “Oscarsstyle” party for children at the school who had voluntarily read extra books and completed projects related to those books. The “Oscars” event was highly anticipated, at least in our household: The promise of a real limousine ride; a threecourse seated dinner; an Academy Award statue for your achievement and more. Several members of the community shared their time and talents for this event — the limousine driver who circled the block at least 20 times, the Boy Scout troop that served the meal and cleaned up afterward, the members of a local book club who made dinner for almost 100 people, the professional photographer who took photos on the red carpet of each student, and, of course, the staff and teachers at FES who helped organize and host the event, line the red carpet and pretend to be the media and paparazzi, and stay hours after school to ensure these little Oscar winners felt incredibly special. A huge thank you to all who were involved! And thank you, also, to the Fredericksburg Education Foundation for accepting the librarians’ proposal and providing the grant to help make the night even more special. Allison McDade Fredericksburg

Above the law

Throughout our lives, we have heard the expression “No one is above the law.” Being a retired police officer with over 30 years of service, I am intimately familiar with what this means, an adage which I and many others have lived by. About four years ago, this expression became much more prominent. Almost daily we heard that “No one is above the law.” This was predominately directed at the President, Vice President, Supreme Court Justices, Attorneys General and

other Republican leaders by the Speaker of the House, Minority Leader of the Senate and other members of the house and senate. The mainstream media picked up this mantra as it was voiced often on many news shows and appearing almost daily in their publications. No reasonable person can refute the meaning of this adage. However, we have come to learn that it no longer applies to everyone. Millions of illegal and undocumented aliens have unlawfully entered America and continue to reside here illegally. They continue to elude law enforcement, ignore court appearances and commit other crimes while taking advantage of all our country offers. Democratic leaders, mayors and governors of sanctuary cities and state, aid and abet their criminal activity. Remember we have been constantly reminded, “No one is above the law.” Many supporters of these illegal aliens claim the immigration laws are unjust and therefore need not be obeyed or enforced. I can tell you from personal experience that literally every criminal protests their arrest because laws are unjust and unfair. We are a land founded by the belief in the rule of law. We need to remind those who abuse this cornerstone of our democracy that “No one is above the law.” David Plavidal Fredericksburg

Cleaning up

ugly aspect of the local area that does not get the attention it deserves, or maybe I am just not aware of any efforts at cleaning up the mess. I am talking about the numerous incidents of dead deer laying beside our roads, and not just country roads. Just last week, a doe was laying beside Eagle Street. How many remember the deer laying on Main Street across from McDonald’s a few years ago? A couple of weeks ago, I drove from Eberle Lane to Beyer Road on Ranch Road 1431, and counted 19 deer skeletons in that five miles beside the road. There are many more examples I am sure. Fifty years ago, our county had a deer population of about 140,000; today it is almost a quarter million. During this same time, deer harvest allowances have not changed to compensate for proper management. When my ancestors hunted here, the proper management was to harvest very few does. With the eradication of screw worms in the 1960s, that drastically changed. But our mindset and deer harvest philosophy and policies have not. Cleaning up this issue is not simple, but not that complex either. But we will never make progress if we continue to ignore it. Maybe we can have Gillespie County declared as a Managed Land Deer Program county, and MLD tags could be picked up at the courthouse by anyone hunting in the county. Is anyone willing to really attack this issue?

Fredericksburg Public Schools join with other schools across the state in the 20th annual observance of Texas Public Schools, next week. Open houses and special activities are planned all week long. The late Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was memorialized on Tuesday on the 85th anniversary of his birth in Fredericksburg on Feb. 24, 1885, and the fourth anniversary of his death on Feb. 20, 1966. Local veterans’ organizations presented a floral tribute to the Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz Naval Museum at noon Tuesday. Church bells also tolled in his memory at 10 a.m. At the same time, a wreath sent by the local museum, was placed on his grave at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in California. A Texas Historical Commission marker was dedicated Sunday afternoon at Loyal Valley in memory of Fredericksburg founder John O. Meusebach who retired to a 640-acre ranch at Loyal Valley upon his retirement. The marker was placed alongside U.S. 87, 18 miles southeast of Mason. The Gillespie County Airport has just completed installation of a low-frequency radio beacon at the airport to aid aircraft in locating and landing at the airport. Cub Scout Pack 135, sponsored by First Methodist

Church, held its annual Blue and Gold Banquet Saturday evening at the American Legion Hall. Highlight of the evening was the awarding of Webelos badges to 14 youths who had completed all of the requirements for this rank. One boy and two girls were born in local hospitals during the past week. A boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Sanchez, Feb. 14, while girls were born to Mr. and Mrs. Gilberto Mireles, Feb. 18, and Mr. and Mrs. Duery Menzies, Feb. 20. Work is underway on the annual Easter Fires Pageant to be presented March 28 at the Gillespie Fair Park. Practice for bunnies of all sizes will be held Saturday afternoon. Harold Henke exhibited the grand champion Hereford bull at the San Antonio Livestock Show last week. The St. Mary’s Indians track team, defending TCIL District and State champions for the past two seasons, open their 1970 season Saturday at the Buffalo Relays at Samuel Clemens High School in Schertz.

Ecological conscience

hat do I mean by Ecological Conscience? The phrase comes from the writings of Aldo Leopold, specifically, “A land ethic, then, reflects the existence of an ecological conscience, and this in turn reflects a conviction of individual responsibility for the health of the land. Health is the capacity of the land for self-renewal. Conservation is our effort to understand and preserve this capacity … That land is a community is the basic concept of ecology, but that land is to be loved and respected is an extension of ethics.” From Leopold’s “A Sand County Almanac.” Leopold used the phrase in the context of what we would call today land stewardship, or what we would consider the beneficial management of the land. The idea being that in order for a landowner to be a good steward of the land, he/she must have it in their head and their heart to maintain or improve the health of the land, to care about the quality of the habitat and the sustainability thereof. It is not just about doing the right things or not doing the wrong things, but to have somewhere deep within the feeling that they are responsible for considering what is best, long term, for the land, the soil, the water, the plants and the animals. A lot of times people express this thought by saying they want to “leave this place better than I found it.” And Leopold would say, if they have that feeling deep within, then that is evidence that they have an “ecological conscience.” Of course, we all have a conscience, something that tells us the difference between what is right and wrong, how to treat each other, etc. Without, it we would have anarchy.

came an official city in 1927. Over in Texas, folks were so enamored with Tarzan that they founded a town of the same name that same year. In addition to John Carter of Mars and Tarzan, Edgar also wrote of adventures that dealt with heroes on Venus and in the Hollow Earth. Edgar’s creations, prolific nature, lasting impact were so impressive that fellow writer Ray Bradbury later said of Edgar, “Burroughs is probably the most influential writer in the entire history of the world. By giving romance and adventure to a whole generation of boys, Burroughs caused them to go out and decide to become special.” Edgar got his wish to join

the military (kind of) in 1941 following the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor when he applied to become a war correspondent. He was accepted and became one of the oldest to do so in U.S. history. It was during this time that Edgar’s heart went into overdrive and he suffered several heart attacks. The last one, on March 19, 1950, did him in for good. He was cremated and his remains placed in an unmarked grave.

Young is a Fredericksburg resident and avid outdoorsman whose work appears in the paper, Rock & Vine magazine, and other outdoor publications.

FISH DAY!!!!!

MASTER NATURALIST The land is not the only other thing that people feel deeply about. I don’t know what to call it, but I expect that most people with kids have a similar deep-down conscience about always trying to do the best for their kids, over and above everything else. As a Master Naturalist, we try to instill an ecological conscience in all new Master Naturalist trainees, and for that matter, many other landowners we work with. And I can attest to many landowners throughout the Hill Country that demonstrate they have an ecological conscience in many ways. Everything I have written above clearly implies this is something that only applies to rural landowners. But that is not the case, everyone does things that have an effect on the environment. We all, everyone on this planet, require a whole list of ecosystem services for our daily lives, so the health and well-being of these ecosystem services is vital to our lives and thus it is important to all of us to take care of the ecology. But almost a year ago, I wrote a column about ecosystem services. At that time, I called ecosystem services “Essential to Life but Almost Never Considered.” I am going to run it again next week, because I think it is an essential part of the argument that everyone needs to understand before I can finish the discussion about the collective ecological conscience. We need to first understand how much the condition of the ecology affects our daily lives. The important thing to know is that every one of us, even city dwellers who live in a high-rise in the city, do things every day that have an impact on the ecology somewhere, and almost no one gives it any thought. But if we had an ecological conscience, we should, and we would, give it more thought. But I suggest that even those of us who think we have an ecological conscience in terms of our land, and we may indeed be good stewards of the land, may well be doing things in our daily lives that are detrimental to the environment in one way or another. I sat down to make a list of everyday things that human beings do that can affect the ecology and it was a lot longer than I thought. That will be the subject of this column in two weeks. We are living in a time when mankind has already caused

Edgar’s next man-of-action creation, Tarzan, kicked even more butt. Tarzan proved the powerhouse of popularity and Edgar cashed in on him by putting him in syndication, comic strips, and movies. And, in a move that George Lucas would emulate with “Star Wars” generations later, Edgar merchandised the hell out of “Tarzan,” as well. Cha-ching, baby! Tarzan proved so popular and such a moneymaker that when Edgar bought a ranch in North Los Angeles, he named it Tarzana. The town that sprung up around his ranch adopted the name and it be-

Building relationships every day Stonewall school helps students grow together By Lauren Grona

In the world of school, learning how to interact with others and create relationships is an important virtue to establish, just as curriculum in the typical d ay-t o - d ay subjects. Grona Stonewall Elementary School recognized this in many ways; they have incorporated Restorative Circles and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) Days throughout the school year. The most recent STEAM event was held on Dec. 17, 2019, from 8-11 a.m. The students were organized into different “family” teams where they had approximately three people from each grade. This incorporated different skill levels and provided many outlets of communication and guidance from the older children. “The intention was that older students would help the younger students with the activities, and everyone would participate,” SES Principal Amie Chalberg said. “But sometimes the younger students help the older students, as well, in ways no one anticipates.” There were winter-based activities, such as a Reindeer Run, “What’s in a Name” snowman station, an igloo shelter challenge and even a coding card activity. They all incorporated an academic practice related to STEAM. “It helped me use addition and multiplication in real life

situations,” fifth-grader Adyson Schneider said. STEAM Day incorporated both the academic aspect and the realm of conversation in their activities. Teamwork was established in each of the stations and events. “The students were engaged and worked cooperatively in their multi-age groups,” SES fifth-grade teacher Jamie Page said. “The most rewarding part was watching the students problem solve and share ideas.” SES also focuses on connection with others through the process of “restorative circles.” Restorative circles were introduced at the beginning of the school year and are aimed toward third, fourth and fifth grade. They serve as an outlet for students to express themselves when problems emerge on campus. “It allows everyone to be

heard when a social conflict arises, and it also allows anyone who feels they have wronged someone the opportunity to make amends,” Chalberg said. “No one feels left out or unheard, and the class community is stronger.” The circle is controlled by chimes to indicate when the activity is in session. The classes have a “talking stick” so that no one is talked over, and it’s passed around the circle as the conflict is addressed and resolved. According to fifth grade student Kody Daniel, the best part of restorative circles is that everyone gets to say something. Restorative circles also allow students to apply their listening skills to academic settings. “It helps me learn to pay attention in class the way we pay attention in circle,” fifth-grader Maia Ybarra said. Emotional management and communication is a big

part of developing character, and the restorative circles are proving to be an effective way to build these skills. According to fifth-grader Brody Beyer, the restorative circles help him learn to calm down. Fifth-grader BellaLuz Gurrola also adds that if she’s hurt someone’s feelings, she can explain that she didn’t mean to. Social circles have been used throughout history in campfires, town meetings, and even the modern-day kitchen table. “It’s a way families have solved problems and worked out differences,” Chalberg said. “At Stonewall, we are a family, so it is only natural that we use a circle to help work out our problems and develop our community.” Lauren Grona is a junior at Fredericksburg High School. She is involved in the health science program, Student Council, the Campus Comet and National Honor Society.

Senior pens letter to a helpful community Sincerely, Valentina Chavarria

As senior days come to an end, and I’m preparing to start a new chapter of my life, I can’t help but think of all the people and experiences that have shaped me into who I Chavarria am today. I will forever be thankful to my family and friends for having my back and to my second family that I have found through the Fredericksburg Independent School District community. I will never be able to show the amount of appreciation

I have for the teachers who have been with me through this formative period of my life, but I have decided to thank them individually for all the love and support they have shown me throughout the years. This is my thank you letter to my wonderful teachers in the FISD community, from the moment I was part of the community to now. Charlotte Gardner, you were the first teacher I met when I first started middle school. Thank you for making me feel accepted right from the start and for making your other students accept me. Your class was a safe space for me, and I loved it with all my heart, from the colorful walls to your pet gecko, I had so much fun in there.

Thank you so much for always having a positive attitude and for giving me my first glimpse of the school. Coach Katie Taylor, thank you so much for always pushing me to do better, from your science class all the way to basketball. Being part of your team taught me how to better myself, how to be more outgoing, and most importantly, how to be a team player. Thank you so much for giving me friendships that I still have to this day. Shannon Windham, you made me fall in love with English. The way you taught the class always made me look forward to being there. I loved how relaxed and inclusive the environment in your class was and how welcoming you were.

I will always remember your class and how special it was to me. Coach Jennifer McBee, I love your go-getter and optimistic attitude. From athletics all the way to your Spanish class, where I was an aide, you helped me grow and gave me more confidence by being so trusting and letting me help your students. Thank you so much for giving me leadership skills and for always being so nice and fun to be with. Kim Zuberbueler, I have been with you throughout my whole educational career in Fredericksburg, and I have never met a more helpful and wonderful teacher in my life. Thank you for making me fall in love with photography

Elementary school teaches leadership By Lauren Guzy

Fredericksburg Elementary School is like its own community with a working government, but for the small and u n e m ployed. Academics is not Guzy the only thing that is important to teach to students. Schools also guide and teach young people on how the world works and how to function in it. Leadership is a skill that employers desire when hiring someone new, so why

not start teaching leadership skills as soon as possible? This is exactly what Fredericksburg Elementary School does. Student Council, Billie Council and Safety Patrol are three student programs that allow elementary school students to do different tasks that teach leadership and responsibility.

UNITED dedication and focus, the approach to teaching the students from the Life Skills classes is unique. “So much of what we do is driven by competition, some kind of deadline and some kind of result,” Younts said. “[United Sound] is very different from everything else we do. Our sole purpose is just to relate to each other as people and find a commonality between us, which is music, and just work on that.” While the band directors and Life Skill teachers were the ones who decided to incorporate United Sound into the school, the program includes abundant student involvement and leadership. “From the outside, it may not look like we do much, but thinking about our new musicians and some of the challenges they face, just in their daily lives, it’s a lot,” Younts said. “We meet every Monday, and the meetings are studentled. Seniors Daven Ballejo and Dalton Waters are our chapter presidents, so they set the agenda for the meetings and the lesson plans. We meet before, and I offer my advice, but ultimately it’s their decision.” United Sound not only works to improve music skills, it also provides a sense of community and connection for the Life Skills students. “This is my seventh year working at FHS,” Younts said. “There are nine of these new musicians. I only knew one of them before this started. Some of them, I had never even seen. I think it’s common on a lot of campuses that the Life Skills room is the

room that not a lot of people frequent. Those kids are very disconnected from the school community at large, so one of the coolest things about it is that all of those guys feel like they know people at their school. And for most of them, this is the first time they’ve had an after-school activity at all in their lives.” So far, positive changes in the Life Skills students have been noticed by their teachers because of United Sound. Life Skills teacher Mij Conway has been excited and impressed by these changes. “One change I have seen in the students since starting this program is that every Monday they are wearing their United Sound T-shirts to school,” Conway said. “This is impressive because no one is reminding them to do so. I feel they are learning some responsibility. They are so excited to go to practice and see their mentors. I know this because they talk about it all day on Mondays. The band kids didn’t know who we were before, and now they speak to us and stop by the classroom to say hello. This makes our students feel so much a part of this campus.” Along with the teachers, the students are excited to be able to participate in this program. “It just makes me feel good about being able to interact with the band members,” Life Skills student Derrick Valdez said. “I love the band. I go every time. I wouldn’t miss it. I can play music,” Life Skills student Beatris Macias said. “I gained confidence with

my new friends,” Life Skills student Evans Burkhalter said. The band members, who are stepping into roles of leadership, are also benefitting from this program. “I have gained patience,” band member, senior Zavior Vaquera said. “I’ve learned how to be patient with the other band members who are learning how to teach.” Overall, United Sound is an enjoyable experience for all who participate. “It’s fun, I have fun,” Vaquera said. “My goal is for [the new musicians] to be better than me. They’re all supportive of each other, and they all have fun.” United Sound is set to continue for the foreseeable future, and its expectations for success are high. “I think it’s such a powerful activity for everyone,” Younts said. “I think everybody is learning from each other. The world is a very diverse place, and it’s really easy to marginalize different populations based on the fact that they’re different from you. But music is such a great touchstone for everybody. Fundamentally, everything we do in our program drives individual value. If you don’t feel value, you’re not going to put the effort in, and you’re not going to feel like you’re making a difference. If we’re not helping people understand they make a big difference, just one person, we’re failing.” Jessica Stuewe is a junior at Fredericksburg High School.

As a newcomer in middle school, there is so much to learn in the three years before high school that is valuable for real life. Fredericksburg Middle School offers two Griffin programs, coding and theater, that can help students to learn skills for their future. In coding class, students learn programing, physical computing and user-centered design. Students then use the skills they learned to build

their own websites, apps, games and physical computing devices. “Students have learned the problem-solving process, computing, programming and web developing, which includes making their own website with HTML and CSS, animations and games, which include an interactive card and game using JavaScript,” coding teacher, Denise Weatherford, said. “They are currently working on prototypes and creating an app.” The coding class allows for students to prepare for classes in high school such as computer science classes and AP computer science. The students learn to code using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Python programs. “These are the languages

they are using to code and create web pages, interactive games, apps, more,” Weatherford said. “They have already learned how to do basic coding, programming and how to create products.” Students develop skills that can create a bright future for not only computer science and engineering but other careers in the world, as well. “Students learn problem solving skills, how to collaborate, create, design, empathize, team building, test products and debug,” Weatherford said. “The future is bright!” Theater class In theater class, students are given a part in a producSee CLASSES  D10

Long-time Harper leader near end of tenure By Nikki Nelms

Strong schools require strong leadership, and Harper Independent School District has just that. It takes plenty of patience, dedication and great leaders to mold a solid district. Principals, Nelms counselors, the superintendent and additional staff members play a crucial role in keeping our grounds secure. “I think it’s important that Harper High School has good leaders in order to help kids get the best out of their school

experience, and get prepared for life after high school,” stated Taylor Evans, the current No. 4 ranked student of the junior class. One key leader of Harper ISD is the superintendent, Chris Stevenson. Stevenson — current head softball coach and superintendent, former assistant superintendent and principal — has recently announced his retirement after 20 dedicated years at Harper ISD. After 31 years in the teaching industry, he has decided to say goodbye and seek out what else is in store. Stevenson feels it’s time to focus more on his family and pursue other professional opportunities. The current girls’ softball

coach chose to stay at HISD for two entire decades not only because of his desire to raise his three children in a small school, but also because he

approved of the ethics, morals and the small-town-feel of Harper, Texas. Stevenson had a difficult time determining his favor-

ite role at Harper ISD. He couldn’t seem to choose just one. “As an education leader, in every and any position, it was always my top priority to do what was best for the kids,” he said. “My main focus was always the students, whether it was about academics, athletics, or even the new protection system, they were my first thought when it came to anything.” Stevenson pressed that he always has and always will genuinely care about the wellbeing of all students. “I’m going to miss everything,” Stevenson expressed through a bittersweet grin. Although he will no longer be employed as a HISD staff member, Stevenson has prom-

ised to continue to volunteer for the community and support the district. “I remember, Jan. 6, 2000 was my first meeting here at Harper High School, and it’s crazy to see, 20 years later, there are still a few of the same faces looking back at me,” he reminisced. “I made many great memories with plenty of people, but I always look forward, never backwards.” Nikki Nelms is a junior at Harper High School, serving on the Longhorn Express for three years. She enjoys photography, serves as a varsity cheer leader, and enjoys running cross country and track as well as playing volleyball. Nikki plans to major in psychology after she graduates next year.

are important for students. “I want them to learn how to be leaders,” Lastovica said. “I want to empower them because a lot of our representatives are kids who don’t have other opportunities for that kind of training outside of school.” This past fall, Lastovica took her fourth and fifth-grade Student Council representatives to a Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association (TEPSA) sponsored conference meant for teaching leadership qualities. “We went to Austin, and we were with other elementary student councils,” Lastovica said. “They separated the adults from the kids so they had all kinds of icebreakers and just typical leadership activities all day long. They learned how to prepare a proposal and identify a problem and find a solution.” With the problem-and-solution training that the students were taught at the conference, they applied it to Fredericksburg Elementary School when they returned, for the benefit of the school and fellow students. The problem: not enough microwaves in the cafeteria.

The solution: have a fundraiser selling popcorn and pickles. “They had to write this all down, plan it out on a form and present it to Mrs. Ward, the principal,” Lastovica said. “It was great; she loved it. So, in two Fridays, they earned over $500 and were able to buy two new microwaves and put some money into a treasury for future projects.” Imani Player, Student Council president and Billie Council member, says she has fun in Student Council by helping other students and bettering the school. “We have ideas, and if we all like them, we can do it, but we have to ask the principal,” Player said. “If we feel like there is a lot of bullying going on, we could do something about it, or we could just help kids out at school.” Lastovica, knowing the stereotype that sometimes surrounds Student Council, wants to build the program up and make it more than a popularity contest. “Historically, it has been a figurehead position, but that’s why I wanted to find a workshop and make it more than that, so they actually learn

something from it,” Lastovica said. FES counselor and Billie Council sponsor Danni Vinyard believes that the Student Council has done a good job not making the program centered around who is the most popular in class. “It really is kids seeking other kids that they do think are good leaders,” Vinyard said. “You can tell that the kids are understanding the purpose of Student Council versus just voting in their best friend.” Billie Council Billie Council is another program at FES that teaches leadership and accountability and also provides assistance where needed. “The students are there to provide support for the office in any way they can,” Vinyard said. “Sometimes they help staple papers. The group that is assigned to Thursday, they help deliver food for kids’ bags, which is very important. Typically, those kids don’t have much to eat over the weekend when they go home, so that’s a huge responsibility in making sure that those kids get their bags to take home for the weekend.”

Another job of Billie Council members is to deliver white notes that have information on how a student is going home that day — whether a student is being picked up or taking the bus. “It’s really important because if a kid is going home a different way, and he doesn’t get the white note, then the parents might get confused and be like ‘Where’s my child. Why is he not here?’” Player said. “It’s very important to deliver white notes.” When it comes to picking members for Billie Council, Vinyard wants the students who are not always picked for everything and who will learn and get the most out of being a part of the program. “I really encourage the teachers to look at kids who aren’t necessarily the perfect behavior, teacher-pleaser kids,” Vinyard said. “Maybe it’s kids who need to learn responsibility, so you’re giving an opportunity for all students to participate, not just ones who are always chosen because they are well-behaved. We need to teach these skills to all students.” The main goal that Vinyard wants of her Billie Council

students is to be good role models to other students when they travel around the school delivering notes. “It’s more of the responsibility of being held accountable for knowing your schedule,” Vinyard said. “Teachers don’t set their alarms for these things. The kids need to know that it’s my time to go, and they discreetly leave class and handle their job appropriately.” Safety Patrol Another leadership program at FES, that is closely related to Billie Council, is Safety Patrol. “The main responsibility for Safety Patrol is basically traffic control as students are arriving in the morning to make sure students aren’t trying to sneak off to their classroom early, and of course, working the crosswalk helping with the stop signs,” Vinyard said. “Two students are responsible for putting up the flag at

the front of the school every morning, so that’s pretty huge. That’s a big responsibility, and they take it really seriously.” Preparing students for the future by teaching leadership and life skills that will be carried with students forever is extremely important at Fredericksburg Elementary School, but it can also be a fun experience along the way. “What I have learned and have grown from being in Billie Council and Student Council is that it’s just to have fun, and you get to help out, and you get to learn how to be more responsible,” Player said. “For Billie Council, it’s really fun because you get to deliver white notes, and that makes you feel responsible like you actually have a job to do.” Lauren Guzy is a junior at Fredericksburg High School. She is involved in One Act, the Campus Comet and the health science program.

tion to memorize, project onto an audience, and make their own by the final performance. “Students are introduced to theater by engaging in numerous activities and projects that help them to better understand what it takes to create a character and how to project that character in front of an audience,” theater teacher David Remschel said. “The point is to continue improving your skills and talents. This is an area that I definitely see progress through students’ careers.” Theater classes allow students to grow closer as a cast and be comfortable in their own skin. Theater is a safe

place for students to develop and explore their talents and passions. “The beautiful thing about theater is that you can be of any background, of any circumstance, and you will always be welcomed,” Remschel said. “You might be having a horrible day, but when you get to theater, you can become a character and release all of that frustration and create something truly spectacular.” Theater students learn valuable communication and public speaking skills that will help them in their careers later in life. “The main thing students will learn, and will hopefully

achieve while in theater arts, is the ability to stand and speak out before a crowd,” Remschel said. “Students will also learn skills ranging from minor carpentry to group management.” The students help each other with learning their parts, creating a family-like bond that can develop into a wonderful performance. “I adore seeing the students

bond while preparing for a show,” Remschel said. “To see them come together and ultimately become a kind of family is my greatest joy and why I do what I do.”

Reese Griffin is a sophomore at Fredericksburg High School. She is involved in track, cross country and the Campus Comet.

6 TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

6 Celebrate Texas Public Schools Local schools celebrate ‘What I love about Doss School’ ‘Public Schools Week’

I Love when we have partys Becase we do it together as a holl school. I Love Fridays BeI Love Doss School Becase case we go out to ore to garden its fun a we Draw pitures and and eat pizza! we play on the playgrond. My favrite subject is SoShole Studes and I Allso like Kratiev By Braeden Wadsworth righting. I Allso like to do Art. Seventh grade By Sydney Whitehead First grade

The Doss school is the oldest school district in Texas. What I love most about attending the school is its small size wich allows for a lot of personal attention. Something very unique about our school is it is multi-grade and our organic gardens, wich is were we hold

our agricultural science class on Friday’s. We also do a lot of fun things to like field trips and practice and perform programs. What I like most about Doss School is when Friends of Doss School provides lunches on Fridays.

Prepaid tuition program set for Saturday deadline Texas families can lock in today’s cost of undergraduate resident tuition and schoolwide required fees at Texas public colleges and universities. Parents can enroll their children in the tax-advantaged Texas Tuition Promise Fund before the close of the current general enrollment period on Feb. 29. “I’m encouraging Texas

families and individuals to remember the upcoming deadline to prepay and lock in today’s rates for all or some future tuition at two-year and four-year Texas public colleges and universities,” said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hagar. “The Promise Fund has a range of payment options that gives purchasers the flexibility they need to plan ahead and provide future opportuni-

ties for their children, grandchildren and other loved ones.” The Texas Tuition Promise Fund, the state’s prepaid college tuition program, allows participants to prepay undergraduate resident tuition and schoolwide-required fees by purchasing tuition units for a four-year degree, two years of community college or just a few semesters at Texas public

colleges and universities. For additional flexibility and portability, the plan also is accepted at Texas medical and dental institutions that offer undergraduate degrees. Complete plan information — including residency and other requirements, current prices, enrollment forms and more — at TuitionPromise. org, or by calling 800-445GRAD (4723), option 5.

Harper ISD Harper ISD will host a Student Showcase Wednesday evening, March 4, for pre-K through 12th grades. Parents and community members are invited to go from room to room to see their children’s projects, papers and other happenings in their rooms.

DONATING Cont. from D11

to wait about eight weeks to donate again. At the blood drive hosted by the Anatomy and Physiology students at Harper High School, 34 units of blood were collected. Donors included both students and teachers from Harper High School.

Students in Fredericksburg, Harper and Doss are celebrating Texas Public Schools Week with a variety of activities. Celebrating Texas Public Schools Week are the Fredericksburg Independent School District, Harper ISD and Doss Common Consolidated School District. Among the special events planned in the coming weeks are the following:

The staff from the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center stated that Harper High School is one of their best school donation sites, and were very appreciative of the opportunity to serve the community through the event. According to the American

Red Cross, about “36,000 units of red blood cells are needed every day in the U.S.” Given that the average red blood cell transfusion only supplies three units, it is vital for some people to donate more than once a year. For more information about donating blood or

platelets, visit southtexasblood.org. Taylor Evans, a junior, is a first year journalism student at Harper High School and plays volleyball and softball. She plans to pursue a career in neonatal nursing with a degree from Tarleton State University.

Also, on the same night, grades six through 12 will host their first Career and College Fair in the old gym from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Colleges and businesses will be visiting with students and parents about possible jobs and careers. Doss CCSD In Doss, students will be observing Texas Public Schools Week, March 2-6, with activities focusing on enrichment. Planned are safety and security drills and health and hygiene presentations. The students will be taking a field trip to the Yellow Door Art Studio in Fredericksburg on Thursday, March 5. They will be planting 20plus fruit trees in the organic garden on Friday, March 6.
