The funds will be used for student scholarships and program support, according to a spokesman. Dr. Tom Hutton, chair of the Forging Futures committee, presented checks for $70,000 each to the HCUC Foundation and TTU – Fredericksburg. “In 2019, we had an even better event than the first year, and we are so pleased to be able to make these financial awards,” Hutton said. “What goes on in this building is tremendous. It literally is forging futures for so many of our students. We are delighted to be part of it and to play at least a small role in what goes on here.” Dave Campbell, chair of the HCUC Foundation, accepted the award on behalf of the foundation. “We are so appreciative of the work the Forging Futures committee has done, and the generosity of the people that supported the event,” Campbell said. “A lot of great things are going on in this building. People are having the opportunity to learn and grow that they would not have had if this university was not here.” Dr. Kelly Fox, Director, Higher Education Teaching Sites, Fredericksburg and Highland Lakes, also expressed her appreciation. “We are so grateful for the hard work of the members of the Forging Futures committee,” Fox said. “The majority of these funds have gone to scholarships.

TSCRA warns of scams targeting ranchers Special rangers of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) are warning cattle producers to take extra precautions amid a surge in scams targeting ranchers. Scott Williamson, the director of law enforcement for TSCRA, urged all ranchers to be on high alert, but especially those who do business via websites and social media. He said con artists prefer the anonymity of electronic or even phone communications and that it is more difficult for law enforcement to track down and prosecute the perpetrators. One popular scheme over recent years is for a prospective buyer to inquire about cattle, hay or equipment that is for sale by the rancher. The buyer will send a check or cashier’s check that is more

than the agreed price. The buyer will ask the seller to cash the check and give the extra money to someone else to pay for transportation and delivery. The check is often counterfeit, designed to look legitimate for just long enough that it can be cashed and the money wired. Sometimes the scammer will even attempt to obtain the items before the check has finally cleared and found to be counterfeit. In either case, the victim is liable for the funds while the crook enjoys the ill-gotten proceeds. Another common scam targets ranchers who are buying cattle, hay or equipment. The con artist will falsely advertise the items using misleading descriptions and fake photos or video, only to deliver inferior products.

According to Williamson, the perpetrators of these schemes are often very good at crafting the transaction into a civil action. That means law enforcement cannot file criminal charges, and a lawsuit would be a rancher’s only recourse. “Also, if you deliver the payment before receiving the property, you may not receive the delivery at all,” he said. Tips for avoiding fraud • Verify the person that an individual is attempting to do business with a trusted source. • When selling items, consider payment options such as an escrow service or online payment system. • Never accept a check or cashier’s check for more than the value of the sale. • Confirm checks are valid by contacting one’s bank or

the issuing bank. • When buying items, never issue payment until the items are received unless there is complete trust in the seller. • Always inspect and document livestock or items before taking delivery, and remember, an individual has the right to refuse delivery. • If an individual believes that he is a victim of a bait and switch purchase, act quickly. The more time that lapses, the more it appears that the individual was initially agreeable to the transaction and the ability to remedy the problem erodes. “There are a lot of bad people out there who will try to take advantage of your trust and goodwill,” said Williamson. “Trust your instincts and remember the old saying — if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

Naval historian honored By Samuel Sutton Standard-Radio Post reporter

The Admiral Nimitz Foundation dedicated a reading room to Capt. Roger Pineau as way to honor his service and his family’s continued support on Friday, Sept. 20, at the Nimitz Education and Research Center, 311 E. Austin Street. Roger’s son, Andy Pineau, spoke ahead of the dedication, and showed his appreciation for the honor. “This is truly a special occasion for our family and we are grateful beyond words for this recognition,” he said. Andy was joined by his sisters, Julie Hubbard, Susanne Pineau and Antoinette Pineau for the ribbon-cutting before the tour. While touring the room, family members were able to see classroom features, which included Roger’s vest and some of the books he helped to translate. Roger Pineau began serving in the U.S. Navy immediately

after graduating from college in 1942. He was multilingual, having learned Swedish from his mother and French from his father. During his service, he picked up Japanese so he could interpret communications from Japan, which he did until 1945. In 1946, he was selected for the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey. There, he was tasked with photographing and investigating the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From 1947-1957, he helped Samuel Elliot Morrison write the definitive naval history of U.S. operations of World War II. In 1960, he served as an advanced team for President Dwight Eisenhower. “Eisenhower was supposed to have a trip to Japan that ultimately was cancelled because of riots that were taking place,” Andy said. While the trip was canceled, his service on this earned him a White House Service Medal. Andy considers his father an

“insider’s insider,” as he was able to establish a close rapport with the Japanese. Roger did a lot of editing and translating for books such as “Midway, the Battle That Doomed Japan,” “Kamikaze, The Divine Winds that Served Japan,” “The End of the Imperial Japanese Navy” and “Japanese Destroyer Captain.” “Whether these were translating officers or commentators, he was one of the first translators that gave scholars, historians and enthusiasts in learning about the war a Japanese viewpoint of what the war was like from their end,” Andy said. Andy went on to give a more detailed background into his father’s service, and concluded by saying his passion for Japan and its people “was manifested in his devotion and love of the Nimitz.” Andy said he was “so pleased” to have his collection at the Nimitz. “This is really where it belongs,” Andy said.

MY 2 CENTS

An inspiring life of grit, courage and connection

have always believed the best part of travel is the people you meet on the journey. The stories they share. The things they teach you. The perspectives they offer. Enter Mari Barb. I was enjoying an after-dinner drink with professional friends in a hotel bar at the edge of the historic district of Colonial Williamsburg. Several football games were on and the crowd was noisy with conversation and cheering. I felt someone brush my shoulder while passing behind my barstool and turned to see if it may be another person attending our same conference. Instead, I saw a petite grayhaired woman, obviously advanced in age, but standing ramrod straight and spry on her feet. When our eyes met, she asked, “Do you know me?” I smiled and shook my head no, but told her my name and offered a handshake. “Do you have a smart phone?” she asked. Another head shake that indicated yes. Then she spelled her name for me and said, “look me up.” I soon learned that Mari, who celebrated her 100th birthday just last week, was born in France the same year World War I ended. She and her family were part of the French Resistance in the second World War, helping both Jewish families and Allied pilots evade the Nazis in conquered French territory. She met her husband in the war, an American soldier who retired from the U.S. Army as a major and, according to online reports, the couple were both employed by the Central Intelligence Agency and lived in several countries. When offered one of our barstools, she waived it off, preferring to proudly stand. She was there to visit with a friend, who happened to be our bartender. Through Mari, we met several other locals in the bar, each decades younger, and all with a genuine fondness for this elderly woman. Since she told me she no longer drove, I asked if she would like for me to make arrangements to get her home. Again, she smiled and waived me off, telling me she had a ride home with one of the guys in the band after their last set. Mari has no shortage of friends. I learned she goes out most every evening, connecting with people she knows and meeting knew ones. In fact, for years her community of friends has organized an informal birthday party for her at Buffalo See McBRIDE ▶ A7

In 2003, Estela Avery, wife of the late jewelry artisan James Avery, received a barn for her birthday present. “I had asked Jim for a ring and he handed me a package and it was large so I thought maybe he was trying to disguise it. But instead, it was a picture of a barn,” she said. “And I looked at it and said ‘It’s a barn’ and he repeated ‘It’s a barn!’ like I was supposed to be excited. But really I was just confused.” Little did Estela realize that Jim had always known that she wanted a large space to entertain. The barn was completed in July of 2003 and private parties and events were held in August 2003. The barn is now available for public use. “I have always been involved in charities and organizations and this space became a spot where I Alegria Barn, owned and operated by Estela Avery, sits on 225 acres between Fredericksburg and Kerrville and can be used could host and walk away at the for private events, parties, weddings, retreats and more. — Standard-Radio Post/McKenzie Moellering end of the day and not have to worry about cleaning my house or Alegria Barn my kitchen,” Avery said. • Owner: Estela Avery • Phone: 210-383-3201 Jim also had a say in how the barn • Established: 2003 • Website: www.alegriabarn. was made, using drawings he did by com • Address: 14575 Texas 16 hand to share his dream with the South • Primary business: Event venue architect. “Jim supported a lot of local artisans and wanted to make sure that they could work on the masonry of weddings. to look like a ship, as the barn was A catering kitchen is located onsite originally built by shipmakers.

Gala to benefit Wellness Center expansion The community is invited to reserve tickets and tables to attend the Hill Country Memorial (HCM) Gala XVIII on Oct. 19. The event will be held at the Vista Oaks Event Center, 8192 U.S. 290 East. Proceeds from the gala will benefit the HCM Wellness Center and its transformation into a modern hub for health, well-being and fitness, a spokesperson said. Opened in 1991, the HCM Wellness Center annually serves nearly 37,000 people in the Texas Hill Country region. Hampered by an aging building and a limited floorplan, the center has run out of

space. This comes as the need and demand for its services and programs continues to grow in the community. With the community’s help, the HCM Wellness Center can renovate and expand its current footprint without incurring the major expense of building a new complex. The revitalization would enable the center to increase the number of community members it currently serves by 50%. Renovation plans calls for: • The doubling of exercise and classroom space; • Comfortable locker rooms;

• More space for exercise classes, thus eliminating wait time; • Updated exercise and fitness equipment. “By updating the HCM Wellness Center into a more modern facility, the community will benefit from having a local, trusted resource equipped to assist them with health, recovery, nutritional counseling and lifestyle transformations,” the spokesperson said.

Visitor research findings to be highlighted Oct. 16 Wondering what percentage of visitors to Fredericksburg are staying overnight? Want to know whether age makes a difference in terms of lodging preference — hotels/motels versus guesthouses/B&Bs/ STRs? Want to know from what part of Texas most of our visitors come from? On Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 9:30 a.m., the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau (FCVB) will unveil the answers to these questions and much more as we highlight the findings of the latest Fredericksburg/Gillespie County visitor research. The FCVB hired Core Research, headquartered in San Antonio, to conduct our visitor research this past June and July. The staff of Core conducted 10-minute interviews with 480 visitors at 11 locations around Fredericksburg and the county. An invitation to take an online survey was sent to the

FCVB Notes Ernie Loeffler

FCVB’s database for our consumer e-newsletter. That produced 1,482 completed surveys. In addition, 48 respondents in-market completed a mobile text survey. The free presentation will take place in the Nimitz Room in the Conference Center at the Inn on Barons Creek, 308 South Washington Street. Doors will open at 9 a.m. for networking with other local hospitality partners. Coffee, juice and pastries will be available. The actual presentation will run from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., followed by a questionand-answer period that will end by 11 a.m. Please let us know that you will be attending by contacting Jan Musgrove, Sales and

RECYCLING pick up and shipping of certain material. Bailey said the city started to realize the collected materials they were collecting weren’t being utilized. “In a roundabout way, we discovered a lot of that material was going into landfills,” Bailey said. Six months ago, Bailey said city staff received an email from Federal International, saying the materials were being sent to other landfills. “They didn’t call, it was just an email,” Bailey said. “I’m not sure how long they had been doing this. I received the email six months ago, so I assume it had probably started around that time.” Bailey and the rest of city staff had been following the recycling situation closely, so this wasn’t a shock to them. Nationwide Bailey said this seems to be a nationwide case, as many cities are struggling with the issue of having no market for recycling. According to WasteDive. com, China’s new policies and refusal to continue accepting U.S. recycling have affected cities in different ways, and have hurt smaller cities most, causing them to increase prices and make more program changes. Texas, according to WasteDive.com’s article, didn’t see many changes right away, but as time went on, the effects caused changes to be made by cities. Several cities and col-

Cont. from A1

leges, including the City of Denton and Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, have decided to suspend certain recycling programs. Other places, such as Nacogdoches and San Angelo, have decided to keep recycling, but suspended certain items, similar to Fredericksburg’s decision. Surplus The primary reason for the changes is that there just isn’t a market for these materials, and therefore, they aren’t even being recycled. Bailey said there’s so much surplus material not being recycled, recycling centers that are trying to store it are running out of room. “I mean, literally, we’ve visited a couple of recycling and sorting facilities where they have a parking lot the size of a football field covered up with bales of paper and plastic,” Bailey said. “And the (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) is beginning to regulate how much material these facilities can have on site because it starts to become a fire hazard.” Bailey said it is concerning, but he is hopeful that the United States may start moving more toward different recycling options, such as Waste to Energy. “This is where you more or less incinerate this material to generate heat to turn turbines that generate electricity,” Bailey said. Currently, other countries

Although I would say there were no major surprises in the new findings, there are definitely data points that businesses can utilize to fine-tune their marketing strategy as our visitor destination continues to evolve. One great piece of news — 69% of those who participated in our survey said their Fredericksburg/Gillespie County visitor experience “exceeded their expectations.” And that percentage is up from 52% in 2013, when we last completed major visitor research! Thanks to all of our hospitality partners. We hope to see you on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 9:30 a.m. at the Inn on Barons Creek!

like Germany and Sweden are doing this to generate energy while recycling. But until the market changes, and mixed papers and plastic are recycled again, Bailey said the city plans to keep the Recycling Center operating, with the exception of accepting mixed paper and plastic. Pro-recycling A presentation was made before the city council on Sept. 3 to inform them that the Recycling Center will no longer be able to recycle mixed papers and plastics, starting Oct. 1. From then, until Nov. 30, they will take the items in, but they will have to be sent to the landfill. Bailey ensured that until Oct. 1, these materials are still being recycled. To get the word out about the changes to the Recycling Center, Public Information Officer Lea Feuge said they will be mailing out fliers to those who participate in recycling, and will put signs on bins at the Recycling Center, alerting residents of the change. Bailey, as well as City Manager Kent Myers, said the city is pro-recycling, and encourages residents to keep bringing their recyclable materials (cardboard, aluminum and tin cans) to the Recycling Center, as that is still accepted. Cardboard is one of the most accepted items in Fredericksburg, as it takes up almost 50% of room in the Recycling Center.

My own grandmother buried her parents, all 10 siblings, her husband and scores of friends. She loved and remembered them each day, but made new friends and was a loyal friend in return, until her own dying day. It was a wonderful reminder to live fully and authentically in the moment. To be present and wholly open to what-

ever that moment brings. To be emboldened by the past instead of tethered to it. To say yes to the next thing, person or opportunity. A great philosophy for business or in one’s personal life. Thank you and God bless you, Mari Barb. You were the only gal the place cool enough for the line, “I’m with the band.”

City approves new tax rate, budget at Thursday meeting By Samuel Sutton Standard-Radio Post reporter

Fredericksburg City Council approved the city’s Fiscal Year 2020 budget and 2019 tax rate during a special meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19. 2020 Budget The adopted budget is $70,353,604, which is $1,763,075 more than last year’s budget of $68,590,529. The budget would have been adopted at $70,377,604, but due to the county decreasing their proposed budgets for dispatch services, the city’s budget changed. This reduces the city’s general fund contribution to EMS dispatch by $4,978, to the fire department dispatch services by $904, to the electric and water services by $453 and to the police dispatch services by $15,839. It increased LEC expenses by $1,003. Reasons for the budget’s overall increase include several capital improvements, such as the completion of an $18 million water bond project, construction of the new Electric Services facility, improvements to Marktplatz, new park restrooms and the creation of a new cell at the landfill. With that, the budget will also include a full year of funding for the new vegetation management program, which started in 2018. Other reasons for the increase are new personnel costs, which include adding two new positions: a police patrol position, which will be primarily

funded by a state grant, and a new accountant position in the finance department, which is partially funded by the General, Electric, Water and Solid Waste funds. There will also be an enhancement to Texas Municipal Retirement System retirement benefits provided to all fulltime employees. This includes increasing the retirement contribution rate from the city from 5% to 6%, which is matched by employees. A 2% cost-of-living and merit increase, which will be effective Jan. 1 to qualified employees, is also included. 2019 property tax rate The 2019 property tax rate was approved at 22.7 cents per $100 valuation, including 1.89 cents dedicated to maintenance and operations and .37 cents dedicated to debt service. The adopted rate is lower than the initially proposed tax rate of 23.2 cents. During a meeting on Monday, Sept. 16, City Manager Kent Myers said lowering the rate to 22.7 cents would create a decrease of revenues in the budget of about $89,000. However, the city does have sufficient fund balance to cover this deficit. Myers said that seeing as the council did adopt a rate lower than initially proposed is an indication that the council listened to the input that the citizens provided. Councilmember Gary Neffendorf, who opposed the new tax rate, wanted to adopt a tax rate of 22.38 cents, which was

TAKE US ALONG

lower than both of the previously discussed tax rates and the 2018 tax rate. He wanted to do this to show residents the council was listening. “The county’s proposed rate is roughly 10% above the effective rate, so I thought we should listen to what the citizens had to say and come down some,” Neffendorf said. “In my budget version, we would use up all of the extra general fund cash reserves above the threemonth level, and would have to change one of the numbers by $50,000. “I’m proposing that we change the budgeted city sales tax number and increase it by $50,000.” But no other members favored that decision. Property taxes account for 27% of General Fund services, the second highest contributor under sales taxes, which account for 40%. Over the past two years, police funding is up 10.7%, funding for fire services is up 33.7%, EMS funding is up 14.9% and Parks funding is up 54.6%. Items driving these costs include a new police officer position, new police vehicles ($195,622), a new fire truck ($100,000 for eight years), a new ambulance vehicle ($95,000 for three years), a street traffic study ($75,000), sidewalk improvements ($100,000), a new restroom at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park ($240,000) and Marktplatz improvements ($138,000). The new budget and tax rate will take effect on Oct. 1.

FHS jazz band musicians dominate at region contest Fredericksburg High School Jazz Band members made sure they will be well-represented in the Region 29/32 jazz band after contests Saturday, held at LBJ High School in Johnson City. In fact, only seven top region jazz band members will not come from the FHS program. Fredericksburg racked up all 10 first chairs and 19 jazz musicians qualified for one of two region jazz bands. All 10 first chair finishers followed the contest with taping a number for state audition. Those results will be released by the second Sunday in November, said Jason Younts, Fredericksburg Independent School District Director of Bands. “Every student worked really hard, both independently and

Registration taken for Cotillion classes Fredericksburg will be hosting its seventh annual Cotillion classes this fall at Hoffman Haus. This is the fifth year that Hoffman Haus has opened its doors to the Fredericksburg Cotillion program. The 2019 Cotillion classes start on Sunday, Oct. 6, and meet every other Sunday through Dec. 3 at Hoffman Haus. Classes are open to all area students in the fifth, sixth and seventh grades. The cost is $145, and registration is due no later than Sept. 28. Online registration forms can be found on the Fredericksburg Cotillion Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/ fredericksburgcotillion/. Cotillion is a nationwide program that blends lessons in etiquette and manners with instruction in ballroom and popular dance in an effort to help students gain self-confidence and character-building skills that will serve them throughout their lives, ex-

plained spokesman Elizabeth Harris. Cotillion believes that an essential component in providing a well-rounded education for any child is “social skills,” Harris said. In this context, cotillion defines “social skills” as the art of knowing how to interact well with others while treating them with respect and consideration. Studies show that in addition to children with welldeveloped social skills being more pleasant to be around, they also do better academically, know how to make and maintain lasting friendships, make better teammates, get admitted to better schools, and get better jobs, according to Harris. The positive effects of welldeveloped social skills are limitless, she added. Instructor Ward Sear of Denver brings almost 30 years of professional cotillion instruction experience to the class. Sear has taught Cotillion all

over the United States to a variety of ages. Locally, he has taught Cotillion at the San Antonio Country Club for 28 years and in Fredericksburg for the past six. Each week the class focuses on a different aspect of etiquette, all incorporated under the umbrella of social dance. Topics such as making a good first impression, conversation skills, meeting and greeting others, sportsmanship and teamwork, social media etiquette, and dining etiquette (complete with a seated, formal meal) are discussed. Attendees have the opportunity to practice these items and learn about the importance of common courtesies. For more information, email Harris at fbgcotillion@gmail. com.

board will now send a letter to TxDOT with their selected firm. “They have asked us to initiate this process for them and form a new agreement,” Smith said. “It is our hope that we can get a new firm in place and get this project going.” Smith stated that typically, this process would take six months if TxDOT were at the helm, but with the advisory board stepping in, it could take as few as three months. “I am glad they came around and saw that we needed to do this as we need to get this started,” Stroeher said. The project was expected to be completed by the end of 2020 but due to delays, it will not. Commissioners approved the letter to be sent, allowing the advisory board to begin the process of selecting a firm. County Attorney Steve Wadsworth was chosen to fill the empty county attorney position, following the absence of Chris Nevins, who will be the new County Court at Law judge.

Wadsworth has served as the Assistant District Attorney for the 216th Judicial District for the past 13 years. He also worked in McCullough County and had a private practice. Wadsworth will also provide advice to the commissioners court and be of assistances to matters related to the county. “I have not seen him in the courtroom but I have heard he is solid in the courtroom,” Stroeher said. “I think we are fortunate to have Wadsworth in this position,” Schuch said. Wadsworth and Nevins will be sworn in on Tuesday, Oct. 1, ahead of their criminal docket schedule. Other business Commissioners also: • Approved hiring five temporary personnel in the Elections Department. • Approved a bid from Friendly Natives Nursery to landscape and irrigate the new AgriLife Extension Office and Facility Maintenance/Technology Services buildings. Cost is $3,980. • Commissioners will meet at 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 14 at the Gillespie Courthouse.

objectives: • Develop and manage attractive, high-quality communities of homes for working families in the county; • Provide administration of employer-assisted housing benefit funds for Gillespie County employers and their employees. Polly Rickert, co-founder of the organization, said the group’s goals are following a 2018 community visioning plan and creating a supply of homes that wouldn’t take up an excess of working family incomes. “We are focused on addressing one of the critical workforce issues identified in ‘A Path to the Future,’ the longrange community vision plan completed in 2018,” said Rickert. “We have conducted extensive research and meetings with other corporations in this space,” she said. “We realized that the approach with the highest likelihood of success is to form a nonprofit corporation and work collaboratively with local employers and philanthropic investors to create a supply of housing that would meet the Housing and Urban Development affordability test of 30% of an annual household income.” Samantha Ray, human resources consultant and Haus Verein board member, said employers helped drive the need as they have trouble finding employees to fill available positions. Many are willing to participate. “We researched different approaches to employer participation across the country and found that the most successful have been Employer-Assisted Housing Funds managed by nonprofit corporations or government agencies,” Ray said. “We believe the combination of housing development and administration of these housing benefit funds are going to

make our odds of success very high.” Initial focus Haus Verein’s first focus for the remainder of 2019 is to meet with the 18 largest employers in Gillespie County and assess demand for employerassisted housing benefit programs from employees in the county. “We will do a survey with as many employers who will participate to try to figure out demand,” Rickert said. “Then we’ll know what kind of product we need to deliver out of the gate — is it a 3/2, is it a 2/2, a rental or sale?” Rickert said a working group has been brainstorming for a year after the city’s visioning process. She said the board is made up of people with different areas of expertise. Haus Verein will set up to be the administrator of granttype funds paid by employers who can benefit from a tax deduction. The grants can help employees with a down payment on a home, Rickert said. Using the nonprofit to admin-

istrate lessens the tax burden on the employees who qualify. “An employer may decide to do grants for a down payment on a home, say $10,000, given out over a period of five years,” Rickert said. “We make it easy to administer in non-discriminatory fashion.” The employer and employee could come up with a contract for, say, five years in which the employee would get $2,000 a year for housing allowance. If the employee backs out, there would be a charge back. Employer funds also can be used for rental assistance. Rickert said while employer participation is important, she believes some philanthropic individuals in the community will help provide the funding. Property owners could potentially sell property to the organization at a discount, then use the difference to market rate for a tax write-off. Units While still in the formative stages, Rickert said the group has made some progress on the neighborhood design. “We know the density needed to get the price down. On a net basis, it will be six units per acre,” she said of the homes. Rickert said the target market is the “middle-income crowd,” at or below about 75% of the average median income of $58,000. “To purchase, a buyer will have to have at least 75% of that,” she said. “We’re targeting teachers, policemen, firefighters, nurses, first-line retail managers. That’s our primary target.” Rickert said Haus Verein’s target price for homes would take up no more than 30% of

household income. Neighborhoods will have home owners’ associations and some restrictions, including no short-term rentals. The organization also will have first right of refusal for buybacks. Haus Verein board members traveled to McAllen and met with Affordable Homes of South Texas Inc., which has run a similar program for nearly four decades. “We’ve been leaning on them,” she said. “We will provide remote services while we get up and running.”

Living History Day scheduled The City of Fredericksburg will be hosting a one-day living history program from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, at Fort Martin Scott, 1606 E. Main Street. Admission is by donation, which will help the city in their efforts to offer these programs to the public. The theme for this program is “Preparing for the Winter.” As Fort Martin Scott was a U.S. post on the frontier from 1848 to 1853, the soldiers had to be ready to be called to duty even in the

winter months. Pioneers prepared for winter by canning, making candles, getting out the winter clothes, and making sure their supplies were plentiful. Living history reenactors will be on site for the event. There will be cannon firing and weapons demonstrations throughout the day.

Since 1992, more than two million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight from EAA’s network of volunteer pilots. For many, it was the start of their journey to becoming a pilot, aircraft mechanic, air traffic controller, or many other career possibilities, according to Allen. The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is a growing and diverse organization of members with a wide range of aviation interests and backgrounds. Founded in 1953 by a group of individuals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who were interested in building their own airplanes, EAA expanded its mission of growing participation in aviation to include antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, ultralights, helicopters, and contemporary manufactured aircraft. Membership in EAA enables persons to share the spirit of aviation with the most passionate community of recreational pilots, builders and restorers. EAA is the only association that offers the fun and camaraderie of participating in the flying, building, and restoring of recreational aircraft with the most passionate community of aviation enthusiasts, Allen said. For more information about EAA or this event contact Allen at 830-997-8767.

Holy Ghost to host prenatal loss service Holy Ghost Lutheran Church will honor young lives lost during worship services on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5-6. The prenatal loss memorial at 6 p.m. Saturday night will be followed by a reception of families who have lost a child. The reception will be held in the Holy Ghost Fellowship Hall. Families will be given the opportunity to meet one another and discuss community resources. Sunday morning services are at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. “In our community I find differing attitudes when

talking about prenatal loss,” said the Rev. Rick McMinn, pastor of Life Care Ministry at Holy Ghost. “There are those that represent the strong, resilient response which believes these matters should not be shared in public. Others look for other families who have suffered the loss of a child to share their feelings with.” McMinn said that current research indicates that 15-20 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriages.

He said that his mother lost her first child and he did not know about it until he was 19 years old. “We didn’t talk about it nor have any ritual to honor my sister’s death,” McMinn said. “Isolation after a prenatal loss is intense. It simply is not something we have grown up talking about and are still hesitant to do.” For more information, contact McMinn at 830-3709237.

Billies roasted at home

FHS drops non-district game to Wimberley, L slide at three The non-district slide continues. Fredericksburg High School varsity football lost to the Wimberley Texans, 48-31, on Friday, Sept. 20, at FHS Stadium to drop a third straight game. Turnovers and special teams miscues kept the Billies from getting back on the winning path against one of the area’s top programs. “We just made too many mistakes to win against a good team,” FHS head coach Lance Moffett said. “It’s kind of the same song and dance. The kickoff return to start the second half killed us. We stop them and then run into the punter, give them a penalty to keep them alive and they go score. We just have to find a way to eliminate mistakes.” FHS started the game by marching down the field to set up kicker Aaron Cordero-Rojas’ 27yard field goal to lead 3-0 at the 9:42 mark during the first. The Billies’ defense had Wimberley stopped on next drive, but the punt unit committed a roughing penalty that gave the Texans a new set of downs and helped set up their first touchdown of the game. The game stayed close for most of the first half until Wimberley reeled off 20 straight points, starting with an 8-yard TD pass from senior QB Cooper McCollum to Nash Elsner. That score made an 11-point game heading into the half. The lead grew even more when Wimberley returner Juan Olmedo Barraco received the opening kickoff of the half — the Billies’ third KR TD allowed this season — and took it for an 83-yard score to give the Texans an 18-point advantage over FHS. Both teams traded drives following the TD return, and FHS found an offensive spark and moved into Texans’ territory during its second drive. But an interception gave Wimberley the ball and a 15-yard FHS penalty on the return placed the ball at the Billies’ 18.

It took all of three plays for Wimberley to punch it in on senior quarterback Cooper McCollum’s 19-yard run, growing the lead to 24 points. “We had a stretch in the game where we were really good,” Wimberley coach Doug Warren said. “Proud of kids and the effort for getting a win today.” FHS didn’t stay down for long and responded on the next drive. The Billies moved the ball 81 yards on seven plays before senior quarterback Tucker Elliott connected with senior receiver Jarrett Beard for a 34yard TD pass. The duo initially reconnected on the two-point try following the touchdown but a five-yard penalty erased the points and the Billies failed to convert on their next try. Elliott found sophomore Jud Beard for a 22-yard TD strike

during the fourth to cut it to a 10-point deficit with 6:13 to go during the fourth but a pair of 15-yard penalties on Wimberley’s next drive gave them an advantage in field position. McCollum found Olmedo Barraco for a 29-yard TD pass to make it a 17-point game. Elliott led the offense with 267 total yards and three TD passes. Jarrett Beard caught four passes for 82 yards and two TDs, and senior Hunter Metzger ran for a touchdown and recovered a fumble. Defensively, senior linebacker Luke Duderstadt led FHS with 12 tackles. Jud Beard had four passes defended, and senior defensive tackle Davis Reeh put pressure on Wimberley’s quarterback five times. The Billies have a chance to rebound against the Boerne Greyhounds on Friday, Sept. 27, also at home. Game time is 7:30 p.m. “We’ve played really good football teams and we’re a really good football team, but we’ve come up short,” Moffett See FOOTBALL  B3

Billies set for 28-4A title fight FHS beats Devine, Sonora before district’s start against Bandera on Friday By McKenzie Moellering Standard-Radio Post reporter

After wrapping up nondistrict play, Fredericksburg High School varsity volleyball has their eyes on a District 284A title. The team hosted Sonora on Tuesday, Sept. 20 and won in five sets and then hosted Devine for homecoming on Friday, Sept. 20, winning in three straight sets. Heading into district play, the Billies are 14-15. The team traveled to Salado late Tuesday, Sept. 24 and will hold their first district game at home on Friday, Sept. 27 against Bandera. Freshmen and JV will play at 5 p.m. followed by varsity at 6 p.m. Looking ahead, the team will host Wimberley at home Tuesday, Oct. 1 and then travel to Boerne on Friday, Oct. 4. Results can be found in the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post Daily Update. Preparing for District FHS will begin its District 28-4A slate on Friday, hosting Bandera at home. Head coach Jason Roemer believes a tough schedule early in the season will help his team in district play. “We had a tough schedule and I think this is helping us prepare,” he said. “It allowed us to be put in adverse situations and learn to fight our way out of them.” The team has worked on serving and passing as well

has being the aggressor and dictating play through the offense. One area that Roemer sees weakness is in the team’s consistency. “Volleyball is one of the only games that when you make an error, it’s a direct point for the other team. If I throw an interception on the football field, I can go make a tackle and keep the other team from scoring,” Roemer said. “We give up a point every time, it’s tough and mentally challenging.” FHS has a young roster this season, so Roemer said it was important to play 30 matches ahead of district. “I guess you could call it a rebuilding year when you look at our experience level and add the fact that it’s my first season with them,” he said. “Our schedule was challenging and we needed that so we could learn what it takes to win against good teams and identify which players and combinations help us get a win.” To get a district championship, Roemer says his team has to be consistent in all phases of the game. “We can’t get too dependent upon our outside attackers and make it difficult for our outside hitters to find kills,” he said. “We find success when we are able to establish Megan (Wahrmund) and Clara in the middle to open up the net for the attackers.” District 28-4A will be tough for FHS this year as many teams return experience or

are senior heavy. • Wimberley: Returns core of their 2018 undefeated district team. Target will be on the back row. • Boerne: Nine returning seniors. FHS lost to Boerne at the Boerne Tournament in August. • Bandera: Young but playing well. FHS beat them in a close match earlier in the season. • Canyon Lake: Very similar to FHS with a few returning seniors and good younger players. • Llano: 1-14 on the season, FHS won both matches in the 2018 season. “Our district is full of good girls with athletic programs and good coaches who want to compete,” Roemer said. “Our last five weeks will have 10 good, competitive matches.” Devine FHS hosted Devine for homecoming on Friday, Sept. 20 and won in straight sets, 25-14, 25-19 and 25-20. “We started out good but then played completely different in Set 2,” Roemer said. The team had four attack errors in set 1 but then 17 over the second and third sets. “We have been talking about how serving and passing are key to our success, and this was no different,” Roemer said. “We served 14 aces to only two errors and passed in serve receive well.”

As impressive a season as she had last year, volleyball player Adrianna Hartmann is on pace to top her performance. The Fredericksburg High School athlete was an allGreat American Conference second-team selection in 2018, when the Henderson State University (Ark.) junior led the conference with a .353 hitting percentage. In her final year of eligibility, the 6-foot-2 middle blocker has been producing even more. Through 12 matches, she already had reached double figures in kills four times, a feat she didn’t accomplish until her 17th match last year. “She’s done very well,” Henderson State head coach Philip McDaniel said. “She’s gotten faster. She’s gotten stronger.” During a loss to Spring Hill, Hartmann had a season-high 17 kills and a .448 attack percentage, a gamebest except for one player who had one attack. Two weeks earlier she had 15 kills and a team-best .438 hitting percentage against University of Texas at Tyler. As of Sept. 23, she ranked fifth in the conference in hitting percentage. “She’s developed some shots and developed more range,” McDaniel said. Though Hartmann said getting kills was her task in high school, her attention has turned to getting blocks. “My kills are still getting

there,” she said. “I’m mainly contributing with my blocks.” Hartmann, who finished fourth in blocks in the conference last year, had a season-high eight total blocks in a Sept. 13 match and reached six blocks in three others. “She’s done a great job with her footwork,” the coach said. “She’s been one of the better blockers in the conference. She’s a strong individual.” She conditioned more diligently during the past two summers to have a greater impact. “I wanted to stay strong,” she said. “I wanted to get on and off the net faster.” The second tallest on the squad, she has needed the toughness to battle opponents who target her, especially when she’s going for a kill. “Most teams they do a triple block,” she said. “All the front row hitters are on me.” Men’s golf Gabriel Mirelez of Wesleyan University (Conn.) shot 184 (98-86) at the Detrick Invitational, the season opener. The freshman out of Fredericksburg High School was sixth among the Cardinals. Former Billie golfer Hudson Ross shot 218 (70-77-71) to tie for 39th in the Firecracker Open. Most recently, he competed for St. Edward’s University. Men’s soccer Fredericksburg resident Garrison Engstrom started three of the six games he played for Southwestern University. He is a freshman forward.

Sonora In five tough sets, FHS beat Sonora on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 25-21, 19-25, 22-25, 25-23, 1614. “We survived, playing well in spurts and gutting out a win,” Roemer said. “It was not our best effort on offense, but defensively, we found a way.” Karlie Nebgen and Megan Jinright had 23 and 20 digs respectively. In set one, the Billies notched 12 kills with five errors, set two they had almost the opposite with six sills and 13 errors. “We were too one dimensional on offense but finally in the fourth set we mixed up our shots and had Sonora on their heels,” Roemer said. “You can see that we played as a different team from one set to another.” FHS 3, Sonora 2 25-21, 19-25, 22-25, 25-23, 16-14 Kills: Avery Stephens 14, Clara Pluenneke 10, Megan Wahrmund 9, Zoe Aldrich 9, Megan Jinright 6, Jaci Spies 3.

BILLIES said. “That’s what happens when you don’t make the plays that you need to make. All the way to the end, we’ve had a chance. Even tonight.” The Greyhounds are undefeated after four weeks of play. Wimberley’s McCollum was responsible for six total touchdowns and 261 yards of offense. Sophomore Moses Wray ran for 77 yards and Josh Limely had 85 receiving yards and a touchdown on two catches. “Anytime you come into this place and come away with a win, it has to be positive,” Warren said. “It’s been a tough place for us to play, against a good, quality opponent. We knew coming into tonight that was going to be no different.” Wimberley (4-0) plays Austin Regents on Friday, Sept. 27, at home.

Billies XC wins varsity boys title in home meet Kendrick stays golden during hot trot in Fredericksburg Invitational on Wednesday The Battlin’ Billies beat the heat to capture the varsity boys’ title at their home meet. Fredericksburg High School won varsity boys’ and junior varsity girls’ championships at the Fredericksburg Cross Country Invitational on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park. “The FHS XC teams ran very well in the conditions to continue working toward our late season goal of being ready for the district meet on Oct. 17,” head coach Dan Aldrich said. Junior Andrew Kendrick captured a fourth individual championship by winning the race with a time of 16:34. Varsity girls finished third, and JV boys finished second.

The meet was shortened due to heat causing issues during the races. “For this time of year, it was extremely hot with temperatures at 96 degrees and hardly a breeze in the air,” Aldrich said. “Under these conditions, the visiting teams had athletes that were not prepared for such conditions and there were many heat exhaustion issues occurring. “A big thank you goes out to the Fredericksburg Independent School District Athletic Trainer Natalie Handley for properly taking care of the athletes in need in a timely manner, as well as the City of Fredericksburg’s first responders that were called on site to take a handful of kids

to the hospital that had severe conditions.” This was the first meet FHS has hosted where an ambulance was needed and due to heat related stress issues during the high school races. The final three races of the day for middle school runners had to be canceled. Next up for FHS is the McNeil Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 28, at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock. “Our goal is to make it back to the state meet and this meet is the same course as what will be raced at the state meet in November,” Aldrich said. “Our goal this week is to perform our best of the season and evaluate where we are as a team compared to the other

She said that Boerne South simply had some strong hitters that placed the ball well, but as the scores show, the Billies competed well against them. “The game against McCormick wasn’t an easy win, but things were really clicking for us and we made some excellent plays,” Marshall said. “The girls came in rested and ready to play. We were ahead most of the game against O’Henry. One server was able to put them in the lead.” “We adjusted our servereceive, but still struggled to return the ball in play,” Marshall said. “Regardless of the scores, I am still proud of the determination and work ethic of these girls.

They were able to re-engage a bit and finished with some good play.” The win put them at 2-0 in pool play.

Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post

Billies wrap up non-district against Greyhounds years. Now, Boerne maintains an approach based on a spread offense that’s comfortable running or throwing based on what the defense gives them, much like FHS’ offense. “Schematically, they ran the same offense for so many years and last year they got a new coach, so they’re a lot more like us,” Moffett said. “They’re almost a mirror image of us. The run the same basic defense and offense that we do. “I think that makes it a little bit different.” Boerne brings another talented quarterback to the fold despite the offensive changes. Sophomore Rashawn Galloway has only started four games at quarterback but already sports DI offers. “He’s already committed to Lamar, so he’s a dual-threat guy,” Moffett said. “He slings it really good. He runs the offense really well.”

By Joshua McKinney Standard-Radio Post sports editor

A three-game skid has Fredericksburg High School football reeling. But the team remains positive heading into a rivalry game with another Hill Country program. The Battlin’ Billies host the Boerne Greyhounds at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, at FHS Stadium. FHS is looking to end the non-district slate on a high note against the Greyhounds. “Natural tendency is when you lose three in a row, people on the outside of the organization want to point fingers, throw darts, place blame,” head coach Lance Moffett said. “That creeps in. Kids hear that … we’re constantly trying to overcome human nature (to listen). “We know that we’re better than 1-3, but ultimately if it gets us 5-0 through district, then mission accomplished. That’s what we’re playing for anyways. District.” Boerne poses another tough non-district challenge for an FHS team that’s been through the ringer during the first four weeks. FHS opened with a 35-26 win against Class 5A program San Antonio Sam Houston on Aug. 30, then followed that with back-to-back, one-score losses to fellow 5A teams Kerrville Tivy and Bastrop Cedar Creek. The most recent wound came at the hands of the Wimberley Texans, which won last Friday’s game, 48-31, and looks to be a serious challenger for the Class 4A-DII crown. This week’s focus won’t be about Boerne; it will be about fixing things that cost FHS ballgames the last three weeks. “Right now, it’s not about them. It’s about us,” Moffett said. “We’re not functioning in a way that allows us to overcome the normal mistakes of a game.”

This means cleaning up whatever’s allowed three kickoff returns for scores over the past two games as well as other special teams mistakes leading to first downs or touchdown drives for the other team. “We’re making too many mistakes to have success against the quality of opponents we’re playing,” Moffett said. “If you play lesser qual-

ity people, you can probably still win these games making these kinds of mistakes. So, we have to find a way to eliminate these mistakes and get back together.” This week’s opponent Moffett expects this week’s game to be another typical FHS-Boerne showdown. “They’re undefeated, so they’re pretty good,” Moffett

said. “They’re 3-0 and we’re 1-3, so everybody in America would pick them to beat us, but I think we’re better than our record indicates and we’ll get after them. We’re hungry for a win and a positive taste.” Last year’s coaching change brought Boerne a different offense approach. Gone is the Greyhounds’ pass-heavy spread offense that racked up stats over the

Expectations high for opening of archery-only hunting season

Battlin’ Bass fishing team wins honors

The hot, dry conditions that have been gripping most of Texas could make Saturday’s archery-only white-tailed deer season opener a challenge for bowhunters, yet those who know how to work the conditions can still find good hunting. For the first time this fall, hunters are required to report all antlerless deer harvested in 21 south-central Texas counties. “Although dry conditions should encourage deer to frequent feeders more consistently and more often, the hot temperatures may curtail movement during much of the day except for the periods around dawn and dusk,” said Alan Cain, TPWD whitetailed deer program leader. “Until cooler temperatures arrive and deer movement picks up, hunters may consider using game cameras to narrow down peak deer movement

near their favorite hunting location and increase chances of success.” Texas boasts a robust whitetailed deer population of about 5.3 million deer which should contribute to hunter success this season. Despite the deterioration in range conditions over the last several months with the 100-degree weather and wind, Cain notes, “Hunters should expect an excellent deer season with above average antler quality and fawn recruitment.” Cain explained that good rains early in the fall of 2018 set the stage for an excellent crop of winter weeds lasting well into the spring. The excellent habitat conditions continued into early July and were critical in providing the nutrition bucks needed to maximize antler growth, he said. While the archery-only sea-

son kicks off this weekend and runs through Nov. 1, the general gun season opener is still more than a month away on Nov. 2. A special youth-only weekend season is set for Oct. 2627. The general season runs through Jan. 5, 2020 in North Texas and Jan. 19, 2020 in South Texas. A late youth-only season is also slated for Jan. 6-19, 2020. For additional late season deer hunting opportunities and county specific regulations, consult the 2019-2020 Outdoor Annual of hunting and fishing regulations. New this fall, hunters in parts of south-central Texas will be required to report all antlerless deer harvest in Austin, Bastrop, Caldwell, Colorado, Dewitt, Fayette, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Karnes, Lavaca, Lee, Waller, Washington, and Wilson counties.

Jacob Brown and Rowdy Vick of the Fredericksburg Battlin’ Bass fishing team, finished first in the Faith Angler Network Central Qualifier on Saturday at Lake Travis. The two anglers caught five bass weighing a total of 15.190 pounds, including a best bass weighing 6.69 pounds. Also competing for the Battlin Bass were Maosn Meier, Rance Penick/Kase Kramer, Gabe Cross/Clayton Curl, Jaxon Koennecke/Gus Barron, Lincoln Staats/Blayke Hollis, Emmit Ayala/Jett Whiting, Wyatt Givens/Diego Olaguez and JT Parker/Braden Green.

Seidenberger, Matthew Smith, Will Degenhardt, Adan Neri, Cade Lehne. Defensive standouts: Charlie Johnson, Sammy Deluna, Gary Seidenberger, Youri Estrada. Coach’s comments: “Great win for our guys to beat a quality program like Wimberley,” coach Adam Riley said. “We made several big plays in key moments on both sides of the ball. Matthew Smith had several big catches to extend drives. Charlie Johnson has

been active in the secondary with four INTs, including two in this one. Sammy Deluna forced a big turnover as well. Tackling continues to be an area of inconsistency that will need to be fixed before district play begins. Overall, we are pleased with the progress of these young men and are looking forward to a matchup with Boerne.” Record: 3-1 Next game: Boerne, 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, at Boerne ISD Stadium.

Coach’s Comments: “The 8 White team played a good Wimberley team and stifled their offensive attack,” Coach Michael Langford said. “The defense survived a late push by Wimberley to secure the victory in the closing moments.” “Defense and big plays were a key to this win, and we are extremely proud of our total team effort that led to a successful victory,” Langford said. He added that they are looking forward to their next opponent, Medina Valley, and the continued support from friends, family and fans.

Kraut Run/Walk set Oct. 5 Fredericksburg Morning Rotary Club will host its 10th Annual Kraut Run, which features 8K and 5K timed runs and a 5K walk, on Saturday, Oct. 5. This year’s run will again start and finish at the Fredericksburg Middle School. Kids ages four and up can also register for an 18-foothigh inflatable obstacle course sponsored by Firstmark Credit Union. The obstacle course will open at least 30 minutes before the Kraut Run starting gun, and be kept open throughout the event. Registration includes multiple trips through the course. (Kids registered for any Kraut Run race may run the obstacle course at no additional charge.) All registered runners/ walkers will receive a longsleeved technical race shirt, and medallions will be awarded to the top three fin-

ishers in each age group, for each timed race. The top man and woman finisher in each race receive an engraved beer stein. Each child registered for the obstacle course receives a short-sleeved T-shirt. The obstacle course is designed for enjoyment and a feeling of satisfaction for completing the course rather than competing for time, said a spokesman. Because of the sponsors, proceeds of the race support literacy programs like Books for Babies, Our Time to Enjoy Reading, Teacher Supply Cabinets, Dictionaries for Third Graders, Scholarships and more. All participants can register at www.fbgkrautrun.com. A post-race celebration will be held at Town Pool, featuring Opa’s sausage, Altstadt beer and Kelani yogürt.

n a 12-hour period I was stung on the bum by a scorpion, zapped on the forearm by a red wasp, and stepped barefoot in a trail of red ants. It was kind of exhilarating, in a hurty sorta way. And it’s not like I was Indiana Jones-ing. The scorpion got me in bed, the wasp while getting the mail, and the fire ants while cooking in the kitchen. That’s just part of living in Texas. I’ve gotten used to it now. But one of the biggest differences between Texas and every other state is the number of things that are pointy and sting-y. Compare Iowa, for example. The arrival of spring meant you could finally shuck the overshoes and heavy coats and roll on the lawn. The grass was so soft it was like natural shag carpet. It invited spirited games of touch football, badminton, and croquet. If you try to walk barefoot through the typical Texas yard you’ll leave a bloody trail. I’ve had to use pliers to pull out grass burrs from my scarred soles. Pointy plants here are myriad and predatory. Besides grass burrs (which you can never eradicate) casual walkers are attacked by yucca, cat-claw, mesquite, cactus, and nettles. And that’s just

Edwards Plateau historical group to meet in Harper Edwards Plateau Historical Association will meet Saturday, Oct. 5, at the new Harper Community Park Hall for its semi-annual fall meeting. Sign-in begins at 9:30 a.m. The day will include a lunch, refreshments, stories and anecdotes and a visit to the newly-renovated museum. Books by area authors will be available for purchase. The upcoming meeting is open to the public, and those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by Oct. 2 for the catered meal. Cost of the meal is $15 per person. To RSVP, contact Frederica Wyatt at 325-446-2477 and leave a message or write to P.O. Box 271, Junction, TX 76849. Dues may also be paid at this meeting for those wanting to be members. Dues are $5 per person or $7.50 per couple. The program for the upcoming meeting in Harper will include the presentation of the colors and pledges led by the Boy Scouts. Also, the program will include a welcome from Jeanette Bode, president of the Harper Chamber of Commerce, and Dan Abbott will share some of his cowboy poetry. Harold Jobes, a Duderstadt family member, will talk about murder in Gillespie County; Antonio Bill of Alice will speak on Arturo Pruneda’s life in ranching and shearing in and around Menard and Harper,

Charles Eckert of Mason will give an update on the association’s business. After lunch, a “quick draw” of eight Harper pioneers will be presented. Descendants of founding families will give shortened versions of their ancestors’ history, including the large land owners of Peril, Stevens, Hopf, Kroll, Whitworth and Parker, and then move on to the community-based Harper, Rogers and Kensing families. During breaks, attendees are encouraged to browse through the association’s “Historian” publications, which are for sale at moderate prices, or the books of other local and area authors. Previous meetings have been held at Fort Terrett, Fort McKavett, Fort Chadbourne, Camp Verde, the YO Ranch, San Angelo, San Saba, Burnet, Winters, Rocksprings, Menard, Llano, Junction, Mason and London. The Edwards Plateau mainly covers 22 counties, and although the association itself is not large, interested persons come from quite a distance to learn more about people and places. In past years when Harper hosted the meeting, researched histories presented included the Bierschwale, Kent and Spring Creek stories in 1999 and the McDonald, Taylor, Noxville, Joy and Duderstadt families in 2012.

Doss News The Doss Volunteer Fire Department hosted an appreciation dinner for the volunteers who help make the fundraising fish fry a success.

ST. MARY’S CLASS OF 1966

By Shirley Lange

Meet some of our local law enforcement personnel and catch up with your neighbors and meet new ones. Get-well wishes to Evelyn Kordzik, Clyde Woerner and James Lange. It was wonderful to see Virginia Mohr this past Sunday. It has been a long road to recovery for her. There is a touch of fall in the air. We have had cooler temperatures in the mornings and wonderful clouds. Only a few ranchers had some light showers. In the afternoon, temperatures showed summer was still here. Everyone is excited to see the beautiful colors of autumn.

St. Mary’s High School class of 1966 recently gathered for their 53rd anniversary class reunion, hosted by Donald Klein. Pictured front row, from left, Sharon Lange Kasper, Phyillis Pape Klett, Danny Svatek, Janet Kaiser Salpietro, Carolyn Usener Kuhlmann, Sandra Hohmann Heep and Pete Boulette.

The historical society is inviting the public to their hosting of the Edwards Plateau Historical Association meeting from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 5 in the new community hall.

Call 830-739-2101 (Peggy) or 830-343-7129 (Nancy) by Wednesday, Oct. 2, to reserve your spot. Our area is a very large part of the Edwards Plateau, but enthusiasts come from all over the 20-plus county region. Abbreviated stories from the Peril, Stevens, Hopf, Kroll, Whitworth, Parker, Harper, Kensing and Rogers family members should be memorable. There will also be cowboy poetry from Dan Abbott, Sweets by Melanie, recollections of Arturo Pruneda, and “murder in Gillespie County” by Harold Jobes. Jeanette Bode of the Harp-

er Chamber will give the welcome, the Rev. Mike Weaver will offer a prayer, the Boy Scouts will present the flags and lead pledges. The Longhorn Cafe will serve the noon lunch. They hope to see as many as possible there to learn more about the folks that settled here, and then tour the museum. A map for a driving tour of the eight historical markers in the area will be given out, as well as other interesting buildings and sites. The Harper Library is hosting a couple of speakers for the public’s enjoyment. The first is on Oct. 10 with Horticulturist Beth McMahon speaking about planting spring bulbs and the next month, Hill Country Memorial Hospital will have a representative explaining hip and knee replacements.

To contact the Help Center for needed services or signing up for the Thanksgiving or Christmas boxes, etc., please contact Patty Sims, Geraldine Skipper or Mary Kampa. Apologies also to Cheryl Bisson who probably received phone calls over this, but she is not on the board of the Help Center. Mary Kampa is. Our well wishes go out to Diana Doris Peril who fell ill this past week. She is now in nursing home for hospice care.

Considerations BY MATT

September 25, 2019

| C5

Now in theaters Sept. 25-Oct. 1, 2019

Pretty, shallow bird erhaps the most underappreciated aspect of quality filmmaking is solid editing. If done properly, audiences will almost never notice the intricate amount of work it takes to cut together hours of footage, alternate camera angles and multiple takes into a single, cohesive feature film. When things are off, a bad edit sticks out like a sore thumb. It may be a weird transition, a continuity error or even several minutes of footage that could be consolidated to make a film better that stays in for unclear reasons. “The Goldfinch,” a theatrical adaptation of Donna Tartt’s 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, is poorly edited for a different reason: there’s no depth or substance to the characters and storyline. Clocking in at just under two-and-a-half hours long, “The Goldfinch” is the rare film that’s simultaneously too long and too short to make for a quality piece of cinema. This isn’t to say that there’s not a lot of beauty in director John Crowley’s film. “The Goldfinch” is an exceptionally artistic film with highminded philosophical discussions of criticism, fine art and

the world of antiques; and yet the whole affair is remarkably distant and vague. Viewers follow Theo, a 13-year-old boy traumatized by the death of his mother from a bombing he survived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. After sneaking out a painting from the rubble, his life is constantly, impactfully changing because of the single portrait of a small bird. At nearly 800 pages, Tartt’s novel is substantial enough to support a television miniseries and “The Goldfinch” would have been much better served as a six-part event on HBO or Showtime. Motivations are rarely clear in Crowley’s film as characters often do things because they have to in order to advance the story rather than for a significant purpose. This is most apparent in Ansel Elgort’s relatively

monotonous performances as the elder Theo, which Elgort plays with a mild combination of shock, bewilderment and apathy. Though his Theo has an addiction to pain medication, Elgort vaults Theo into a constant state of malaise that keeps the character floating through situations rather than actively engaging in them. Narratively, “The Goldfinch” doesn’t make enough good use out of a compelling turn from Nicole Kidman as the mother of a young family that takes Theo in after the attack. Her work of quiet, demure empathy is a welcome change early in the film and helps draw viewers into a film that doesn’t hold up as well when she leaves the screen. Similarly, there are solid, yet lesser turns from Jeffrey Wright as an antique shop owner who takes Theo in, Luke Wilson and Sarah Paulson as Theo’s father and future stepmother, and Finn Wolfhard as a Russian immigrant who befriends a young Theo. But none of these performances are given enough context or character development to shine on their own and are largely wasted by the film’s haphazard, disjointed final 30 minutes.

Film adaptation of Pulitzer winner ‘The Goldfinch’ leaves audiences wanting less and more

Oscar winner Nicole Kidman and Ansel Elgort star in the feature film adaptation of Donna Tartt’s 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “The Goldfinch,” now in theaters.

If there’s a reason to seek out “The Goldfinch,” it’s the technically profound and stunning cinematography of Roger Deakins, who took on this project immediately after his Oscar-winning filming of “Blade Runner 2049.” Each stroke on the color palette of his camera work is carefully chosen and crafted to match the mood of the scene as much as it enhances the natural lighting moment to moment. Even when nothing of consequence is happen-

ing on screen (as is often the case with “The Goldfinch”), Deakins always comes through with a striking visual depiction of Tartt’s words brought to life. The only real possibility of an Academy Award nomination despite high expectations for the film as a whole prior to its release, Deakins is more likely to be recognized come awards season for his work in the yet-to-be-released World War I epic “1917” from director Sam Mendes that arrives

in December. Visually arresting but slow as molasses, “The Goldfinch” is much better conceptually as a work of art than in practice as a feature and should prove to be a film that audiences need to wait until it hits a streaming service to take a chance on. Matt Ward is a programmer for the Hill Country Film Festival and local film critic, who was recently added as an official Rotten Tomatoes reviewer.

Fall Farmer’s Market slated to open Oct. 3 The Fredericksburg Farmer’s Market (FFM) will begin its fall season of bringing locally grown and produced foods to downtown Fredericksburg on Thursday, Oct. 3. The market will be celebrating its 12th year of operation. Every Thursday until Nov. 21, from 4-7 p.m. (or until dark), shoppers can meet farmers while shopping for fresh produce on the grounds of Pioneer Museum. The producer/grower market consists of farmers, ranchers and wineries located within the geographic neighborhood of Gillespie and adjacent counties, offering a wide variety of vegetables, berries and other fruits, meats, goat cheese, eggs, Gulf seafood, baked goods, wine, flowers and more. Pizza baked in a wood burning oven, soups, salads, tacos, sliders and pastries are all made with local ingredients. Wine from local wineries can be purchased by the glass or bottle and non-alcoholic iced beverages are also served. At the Chef’s Corner, visitors will find free samples prepared by local chefs using ingredients from the market. Shoppers can meet the farmer, rancher, chef and artisan baker and can support local agriculture and viticulture in Fredericksburg.

‘Real food’ of the Bahamas

he Bahamas, so recently the source of terrible headlines after Hurricane Dorian, form a set of Caribbean islands that are not in the Caribbean. They are in the Atlantic. Yet the same smoldering mix of sugar, rum, pirates and slaves that formed Caribbean culture (and cuisine) over four centuries formed these 700 large and small islands to exist as a world apart. Glittering highrises from Fort Lauderdale down to Miami may be the Bahamas’ closest neighbor but the food you eat there, the music you hear there and the people you meet there live much closer to their roots far away in West Africa. Slave ships from England, and indeed from New England, gave a gingerbread swirl to the larger Victorian homes that survive from colonial days, but not to the miles of small houses the hurricane scattered across rock, coral and the clear blue-green sea. Many islands played matchmaker in my lifelong love affairs with the Caribbean and its people, but the Bahamas inhabit a unique space. As early as the 1980s, their tourism industry launched an often-copied initiative called simply Meet the People. Yes, most Americans still booked rooms in the luxury resorts of Nassau, Paradise Island or the Abacos, if they weren’t showing up for only a few hours aboard a cruise ship. But Meet the People was different. It was like any tour of a mountain, a rainforest or a

waterfall, except the natural wonder being toured was … human. In the program, we were taken to regular houses, not the “great houses” of long-gone sugar barons or the mansions inhabited by Britain’s governors before Bahamian independence in 1973. We shared mugs of coffee, maybe a rum-laced planter’s punch or a few bites of conch fritter with a real family who lived there. And while the experience surely was choreographed, it was light years better than dining on fancy French or northern Italian classics at some resort’s flagship restaurant. In the end, Bahama’s Meet the People campaign wasn’t the least bit like buying a ticket to meet the gypsies who allegedly lived in caves above Barcelona years ago, complete with dinner cooked over an open fire and an “impromptu” flamenco performance. I returned to the Bahamas many times over the decades, most memorably flying low from the Florida coast in a legendary Chalk’s seaplane, another piece of the experience that’s now gone. I always tried to Meet the People in the spirit of

that campaign. And because of it, I try to Meet the People everywhere I travel. One evening in the Bahamas, on that very first visit, I had the impulse to ask our waiter a silly question that has since become part of my reporter’s repertoire. After the tall, graceful, white-haired and very darkskinned server in a tuxedo had described the specials from places like Tuscany and Umbria, I asked him what he loved to eat. “Dis food, mon,” he replied. “It’s real good.” “Come on!” “It is.” “I know that. But I mean, you. You don’t eat this. Maybe ever.” “Dis? Oh yah. No, I don’t eat dis.” His glance bounced around the plush red dining room from chandelier to chandelier, then lowered toward the floor. “I can’t afford to eat here, mon. No way.” The end result of this conversation was the equally dark-skinned chef coming to our table a few minutes later, saying that while he was trained by the resort in northern Italian cuisine, his favorite thing to cook was not on the menu — Bahamian minced lobster. Even that struck me as too highbrow, until he explained that claw-less Caribbean lobsters could be pulled from practically every square foot of ocean surrounding the islands. We were invited into the chef’s kitchen to watch him prepare our dinner. Bahamian minced lobster is the best northern Italian cuisine I’ve ever tasted.

John DeMers is director of culinary hospitality at Fischer & Wieser’s Culinary Adventure Cooking School in Fredericksburg. He is the author of both Fischer & Wieser cookbooks, Fredericksburg Flavors and The Sauce, along with 54 other books. He can be reached at john.demers@jelly.com.

Bahamian Minced Lobster

This is pretty much the recipe we watched the Bahamian chef prepare, as though for his own dinner at his desk among the purchase orders and overtime forms, that long-ago night in his fancy resort kitchen. He used Caribbean lobster, of course, because it was plentiful and cheap. But unless you have a connection in the Bahamas, the Maine lobsters they’ll steam for you at the supermarket will work just fine. 3 (1-pound) lobsters, steamed ¼ cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup chopped celery ½ cup chopped onion ½ cup chopped green pepper ¼ cup diced bacon

Thanksgiving Dinner to honors vets, first responders A tradition begun three years ago in Fredericksburg to honor veterans and first responders will continue with the Fourth Annual Veterans and First Responders Thanksgiving Dinner. The Thanksgiving Dinner is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 25, at Bridge Church (formerly Oak Hills Church). There will be one seating time this year, at 12 noon. Seating is limited to the veteran or first responder and one guest. “Barbi and I are incredibly honored to co-host this great event for our local veterans and first responders,” said State Rep. Kyle Biedermann. “In these times, it is especially important to thank our veterans and all of those who serve in uniform.” “As the son of a retired Army colonel and the father of two Navy sailors, I know many of our men and women in uniform have sacrificed and contributed to make our community and our country great,” he said. “We are excited to be a part of this dinner to say

thank you and to honor these heroes and their families, who have sacrificed so much.” This event is free of charge and done by volunteers. The dinner is expected to draw close to 300 veterans and first responders. Hundreds of local volunteers will be needed to make this an amazing event, Biedermann said. Veterans and first responders who would like to attend are asked to RSVP by calling or texting 830-998-3469. “God bless this awesome district for consistently delivering for veterans and first responders.

Sweaty, Sweaty Hippos?

Hippos have an oily red liquid that oozes out of their skin. It isn’t sweat. Sweat evaporates and cools a body. This liquid looks red in sunlight and it stays on the skin and protects it from drying out – and acts as a sunblock, too!

How Hippos Keep Their Cool

To stay cool in the African heat, hippos spend most of their day in rivers and lakes. Their eyes, nose and ears are located on the top of their head, which means they can see and breathe while the rest of their bodies are under water.

Don’t let their gentle appearance fool you. The hippopotamus is considered the world’s deadliest large land mammal. These giants kill an estimated 500 people per year in Africa.

Q: What is a baby hippo called? A:

Hippos leave the water at night to look for food. They like to eat grasses – lots of grass. They eat 80 lbs (35 kg) of vegetation each night.

How many hippos can you find on this page?

Are hippos slow? Quite the opposite! Even though their legs are short, and their bodies are large and heavy, a hippo can run fast! Hippos have been clocked running at speeds of 19 to 25 mph (30-40 km/h).

How many differences can you find between these two hippos?

Hippos have a pair of huge incisors in each jaw. The large, curved lower canine teeth are like tusks as they grow throughout a hippo’s life. They can reach a length of 1 foot 8 inches (50 cm)! These teeth are used for combat, not eating. When a hippo yawns, it’s not tired but it is a sign of a threat.

2020 Land Rover Defender SUV T

he Land Rover Defender SUV is back! In the United States, that is. After a 22-year absence, the iconic 4x4 will be available on this side of the pond for the first time since 1997. But this is not the standard, strippeddown utilitarian, toolbox on wheels that has conquered the wilds of Africa and Australia. This will be an entirely new vehicle designed to appeal to those who demand luxury, comfort and technology, as well as the off-road capability that has made Land Rover legendary the world over. The 2020 Land Rover Defender SUV meets that market in spades. I fell in love with the Land Rover Defender the first time I rode in one. My Professional Hunter in South Africa had one and everything about the vehicle screamed “safari.” The vehicle, with its minimalist styling and workhorse bravado, was the very epitome of adventure. That beast of a

vehicle drove over and through everything my pro hunter put it through. He drove it through brush, over rocks, used it to carve a trail through tangled foliage, and to haul everything from stores of food and camping equipment to dead animals weighing upwards of 2,000 pounds. The 2020 Land Rover Defender SUVs will, apparently, be able to do all this and more. Despite being far more aerodynamic than its predecessors, the 2020 Land Rover Defender SUV still carries a box-like appearance that contains massive integrity. Its monocoque architecture delivers triple the torsional rigidity

of a body-on-frame design that delivers lightweight strength and durability. This design is welcome news for longtime Defender fans who saw the vehicle exit the states due to a lack of compliant safety standards. The interior is sparse but durable and highly functional. Fabrics are canvas-inspired, and the available leather seats

are combined with Kvadrat Steelcut Premium wool textile for extra durability. Consoles are available in a number of wood veneers and the Defender Durable Rubber Flooring take a beating and are cleaned easily. The new Defender will also be the first vehicle from Land Rover to feature PIVI Pro. This “infotainment system”

Hospital still needs community’s support Rural healthcare is not guaranteed, so let’s get behind our facility

e enjoyed touring the new Kathleen C. Cailloux Birthing Center at Hill Country Memorial Hospital. The generosity of the Cailloux Foundation and many other donors will help that facility usher in the next generation of Fredericksburg residents with top-notch care. It’s a joy to realize the capacity at the obstetrics wing of the hospital has been doubled and rooms made to make anxious soon-to-be parents feel as comfortable as possible. These gifts helped ensure that Gillespie County residents have a wonderful facility for years to come. Yet we hope all reading this realize that obstetrics care is not a given for rural hospitals. Many closed delivery operations years ago and, in many areas, rural Texans must drive half an hour or more to larger cities to have their babies. Local healthcare expert Sarah Freymann Fontenot writes in her “Fontenotes” email newsletter that one recent study claims 46% of rural hospitals operate at a loss and 700 nationwide are in danger of closing. (www.sarahfontenot.com.) Deliveries, heart-attacks and other acute-care episodes, where every minute is crucial, mean we all need to take care of our rural hospital facilities. In spite of being one of the most successful rural hospital models, Hill Country Memorial has not been immune to the negative changes in healthcare, where declining federal reimbursements mean less revenue. HCM provides $20 million in charity care each year. No businesses

or organizations can continually absorb this. For its part, HCM has had to do some restructuring in the changing face of healthcare. Those changes did not come without difficult choices across its departments. For our part as a community, we must continue to support our hospital, for obstetrics, hip replacements, surgeries or any number of professional services at the Hill Country Memorial organization and its affiliated clinics. One way we can lift up local healthcare is to support the Hill Country Memorial Gala XVIII, which will be held Oct. 19 at Vista Oaks Event Center. Proceeds from this event will go toward renovating and expanding the HCM Wellness Center, an important part of HCM’s mission to “Create Healthy.” Tickets are still available and those able to support the HCM Foundation with larger gifts are encouraged to do so. It is essential that this community continue to support its hospital as it has since 1971. It has outgrown being simply a hospital. It is a multi-faceted healthcare organization with an unbelievable number of services for a rural institution. It is also a huge reason that people are drawn to this community. We join HCM in asking those who are able to support this institution, which is driven by a board of some of this town’s brightest minds, as well as operational leaders who navigate a rapidly changing field. Obstetrics is just one part of a lifetime of health services. But the additions to the birthing center were a welcome gift to rural healthcare in this part of Texas. Let’s all remember this larger gift of healthcare. – K.E.C.

Constitutional Amendment No. 7 (Editor’s note: Over 10 weeks, this paper will give a pro and con outline on the issues on the Nov. 5 Constitutional Amendment election, as presented by the nonpartisan League of Women Voters.) Constitutional Amendment – Proposition 7 Funding Public Education Proposition 7 (HJR 151) “The constitutional amendment allowing increased distributions to the available school fund.” Explanation The School Land Board, an independent entity of the General Land Office, oversees the management, sale and leasing of more than 13 million acres of land for the Permanent School Fund. The State Board of Education can then make distributions from this fund to the Available School Fund. The revenue generated from the land is used to purchase real estate and make investments to help fund public education through the Available School Fund. This proposition would increase from $300 million to $600 million the amount the General Land Office could distribute to the Available School Fund each year. Arguments For • This proposition will improve funding for public schools by doubling the distribution

from the School Land Board to the Available School Fund. • Were it not for the $300 million cap in the Texas Constitution, this could have been happening already, making more money available for public education. • As more money is available to school districts from the state Available School Fund, they should need to rely less on local property taxes. Arguments Against • Both the School Land Board and the State Board of Education have responsibilities for managing the Permanent School Fund. If the School Land Board makes larger deposits directly to the Available School Fund rather than into the Permanent School Fund, it changes the amount the State Board of Education is required to distribute from the Permanent School Fund. • The State Board of Education is required to make a percentage-based biennial distribution to the Available School Fund. If they have less money in the Permanent School Fund, it might result in lower overall school funding. • In the past, the School Land Board made questionable investments at the expense of public education funding. With the opportunity to make larger contributions, it might increase the lure of debatable investments.

rom the time a child is in its mother’s womb, pheromones are secreted that tie the mother and child together forever. The bond that is created is carried into infanthood and develops into a lifelong tie that is not broken. When a child is reunited with his or her mother after spending time away, the child often has some of the best sleep, just due to the fact that they are within the same proximity as their mother. My mother lives 840 miles away, and there is nothing like being in the same space again. Over Labor Day, my mom came down for a short visit as we had not been in the same place since February. Right before her arrival, I fell and fractured my elbow, completely eliminating most of our plans of spending time outside exploring new parts of Texas. I had to start from scratch, but part of me was just okay with doing absolutely nothing. Our plans turned into exploring a new winery, Safari Winery, which has wines from Chile and South Africa. We sat outside under a cool (ish) breeze, drank wine and enjoyed conversations about holiday plans, family members and most anything else under the sun. Every once in a while, I would just sit back and take a picture with my mind, almost hoping to freeze time. I think took her out to Doss to experience the Doss Volunteer Fire Department Fish Fry, one of this area’s

Mile High Thoughts

Disaster declared in Imelda’s wake AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott on Sept. 19 declared a state of disaster in counties impacted by Tropical Storm Imelda, which first hit the upper Texas Gulf Coast on Sept. 15. Counties listed in the declaration include Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Hardin, Harris, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Newton, Orange and San Jacinto. The declaration ensures that local officials have access to any state resources they may require to respond. Safety select panel meets The House Select Committee on Mass Violence Prevention and Community Safety met in the Capitol Sept. 17. The panel is assigned to study mass violence, recommend ways to prevent future occurrences, reinforce public safety in Texas and address any shortcomings. Over the next few months, the panel will meet in Amarillo, Dallas, El Paso, Houston and Odessa. “In the wake of recent shootings in El Paso and then in Midland-Odessa, it goes without saying that Texans are hurting,” the panel’s chair, Rep. Drew Darby, R-San Angelo, said. “We’ve lost friends, family members and co-workers from these acts of mass violence. And I say we because these tragedies and

this loss of precious life are felt by everyone in our state, whether or not you knew the victims personally. Texans deserve better and they expect and demand our earnest work to deliver sensible solutions.” Col. Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, testified that there have been 12 mass casualty attacks in 53 years in Texas and that six of those attacks occurred in the past three years, resulting in the deaths of 82 people. Discussion included topics such as social media postings, internet use, hotlines, tips and purchases of weapons and ammunition. Panelists also discussed how law enforcement entities can share databases that contain information on criminal activities and suspicious behavior. Opioid makers Purdue Pharma and affiliated U.S. companies filed for bankruptcy last week under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. After the filing, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said his office for more than

a year has worked “to hold Purdue Pharma accountable for its deceptive marketing of prescription painkillers like Oxycontin, which has fueled our opioid epidemic.” Paxton said in a news release that the bankruptcy filing was not unexpected “and is consistent with the framework structure agreed upon by a bipartisan group of 29 attorneys general and Purdue Pharma to obtain those resources to help the communities impacted by opioid misuse and addiction.” Pipeline inspections The Texas Railroad Commission, the state’s energy-regulating agency, on Sept. 17 announced that in fiscal year 2019, which ended Aug. 31, its inspectors completed more than 4,800 pipeline safety inspections and issued more than 2,500 citations for violations. In contrast, Railroad Commission inspectors completed 3,294 pipeline inspections, resulting in 2,444 cited violations in fiscal year 2018. “Protection of public safety and our environment is our highest priority,” said Stephanie Weidman, director of the commission’s pipeline safety section. “We boosted our inspector numbers from 63 in 2018 to 70 positions in 2019. This will help us keep pace with the state’s new pipeline infrastructure.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Building legacy

Thank you, thank you for printing Michael Barr’s well-researched, clearly written and interesting article about the building material, locally called “Basse blocks,” even though Ed Roos also contributed substantially to this building style in Gillespie County. With Mr. Barr’s guidance, newer residents might notice the importance of these men in the construction and remodeling of both commercial and residential building stock that we treasure here. I look forward to more articles from this talented writer. Patricia Basse Jobe Granddaughter of Hugo Basse Austin

Building blocks

I enjoyed reading Michael Barr’s column on “Basse Block,” but there is more to this story. These cement blocks were once the craze across America, not just in Fredericksburg or

Fire danger

On Sunday morning, Sept. 22, at 8:30 a.m., I saw a woman with black hair in a tan pickup throw out a lighted cigarette on Old Mason Road. The wind was blowing about five mph. I was horrified! I went over, put it out and collected it. I am asking her to please, please — do not do that again. Fires are an ever-present danger right now, and we all need to be careful. Pat Rice Fredericksburg

Future not what it used to be

I am certain that years ago, our city leaders had our collective good in mind in seeking to relieve Main Street congestion by asking TxDOT to assist in developing Friendship Lane into a bypass for large trucks. Apparently, the political interests that control TxDOT have been less focused on our Main Street issue and are primarily working for the benefit of large oil and gas corporations in West Texas to further develop their high-speed trucking routes through our community and not so much for local usage. On a similar topic, we have learned that once a new pipeline easement has been established through our county, there will be others to follow in the future, so likely this bypass will not decrease, but instead, increase trucking operations throughout our county. I want everyone to ask our local officials to not passively watch TxDOT continue but instead tell them to immediately discontinue all plans for the “Relief Route” BEFORE TxDOT designates a preferred route, which will permanently devalue some of our residents’ properties and before our citizens inevitably vote against a $60-plus million construction bond. Like a chess game strategy, I believe we are being played for the fool. TxDOT knows that without a doubt we will vote this bypass down, but once they get to designate a “locally preferred route” for their books, they can claim that “we approved of the route” as a community. TxDOT may then find corporate interests who will “benevolently” offer to pay TxDOT’s expenses and any semblance of local control will be taken out of our hands. Therefore, it is time now to stop TxDOT from continuing to plan this inappropriate bypass, so our city officials can reconsider local alternatives to solve our local issues.

among “people isolated from the rest of the world.” Decorative concrete blocks were the rage in house building from about the 1890s to 1930s and came in an assortment of styles and sizes. They could be purchased from local building suppliers by either Basse or Roos or even made on the construction site with a concrete block machine available through the Sears Roebuck catalog for $42.40 in 1910. The Sears Roebuck & Company “Wizard” Block Machine was patented and copied by dozens of other companies and sold across the U.S. These machines were so easy to use they allowed anyone from a skilled mason to a farmer to make their own blocks. Sears marketed their machines through mail order and they came in an assortment of elaborate designs. The 1930s saw the end of decorate concrete blocks due to mass production machines prohibiting the case for ornamental faces produced by machines. One would think parts of the machines used by Basse and Roos might still be lying around somewhere. And, there

initial work on a Fredericksburg bypass and will recommend a route around the city for a 70 mph, limited access, I-10type highway in January. Anyone whose property is near or on the 250-400-foot right of way will have an immediate devaluation of their property, perhaps making it impossible to sell or get improvement loans. We know this highway will significantly increase noise, light and air pollution, reduce local mobility and require local taxpayers to pay for expensive land acquisitions along with 10-20% of the estimated $250 million construction costs. It will also change the nature of our community by creating a highway barrier around the city, making it difficult to get from one side of the road to the other. We also know that it will take 12 to 20 years to come to fruition, if it is approved. A common assumption of those aware of this project is that it will never be approved by local voters. However, if TxDOT senses community support, they will waste several million dollars with environmental, historical property and other studies to flesh out the bypass details. In the meantime, local property owners will be in suspense not knowing what is to become of their property. It is time for our city and county elected leaders to either put a stop to this bypass project or to quickly put it to a county vote. The city’s transportation master plan already calls for the completion of Friendship Lane from 290 East to 290 West which will give traffic relief from Main Street and this should be the priority for our community. When and if the Friendship expansion proves insufficient, we could work on a less grandiose and more appropriate local solution. Dave Campbell Fredericksburg

Presidential fatigue

I was not surprised at the response to John Rodriguez’s letter. I was amazed at the level of vitriol heaped on him for exercising his freedom of expression. I think he was merely conveying the fatigue and frustration that many of us feel with the lies, corruption, obstruction and flaunting of the rule of law exemplified by this president and this administration. His contempt for the media and for Congressional oversight show his autocratic tendencies. In addition, news just broke tonight that a whistleblower has come forth and the president may have compromised national security! Fiscal responsibility, reducing the deficit, and free trade used to be animating issues of the Republican Party. Recently, we were informed the federal budget deficit will top $1 trillion for the 2020 fiscal year ending September 2020; and the federal debt has leaped from $19 trillion to $22 trillion since 2017. Both will continue to increase for the foreseeable future. Unnecessary tariffs have damaged producers, farmers and consumers. So much for, “I alone can fix it.” Oliver Williams, M.D.

Cornerstones required an impression on two sides, accomplished on the machines by slipping in a different embossed end plate. I cannot agree that the blocks in themselves are not beautiful. In Fredericksburg, these

concrete blocks were painted according to a local architect. Perhaps we should begin a survey as to which buildings were made of blocks made by Roos and which were made by Basse. It isn’t fair to classify all such concrete buildings as made of “Basse Block.” Mark Wieser Fredericksburg

50 YEARS AGO in the Standard SEPTEMBER 24, 1969

Sunday has been proclaimed as Alfred and Myra Petsch Appreciation Day in Fredericksburg as a tribute to the couple who for over 60 years have been civic leaders and community builders. An Appreciation Day dinner will be held Sunday evening at the Fair Park Exhibition Hall. Capt. Alton B. Meyer, 32, son of Mr. and Mrs. Benno C. Meyer of Fredericksburg, has been listed as being a prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese, thus ending a two-year wait for the parents since they heard he was missing in action in April 1967. The Fredericksburg Lions Club will stage its annual mop and broom sale Friday and Saturday on the courthouse lawn. Lions Club members will also be making door-to-door sales. Nearly 125 children joined the staff at Pioneer Memorial Library Saturday morning to celebrate the end of the Summer Reading Program, with 90 youngsters receiving certificates for having read 112 or more books over the summer. Douglas W. Richter, son of Maj. and Mrs. Willard E. Richter, is one of 1,400 freshman cadets who have entered the U.S. Air Force Academy class of 1973. T/Sgt. Curtis W. Herbort recently returned from a

tour of duty with the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. With this tour of duty, he completed his 13th year of USAF duty. Herbort, his wife, Carolyn, and children, Donna and Richard, will leave soon for their new assignment at Beale Air Force Base, California. One girl and five boys were born in local hospitals during the past week. A girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Alejandro Cedillo, Sept. 19, while boys were born to Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Flint, Boerne, Sept. 18; Mr. and Mrs. Augustin Garza, San Antonio, Sept. 21; Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Collier, Kerrville, Sept. 21; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Edmundson, Sept. 22, and Mr. and Mrs. Terry Joe Wootan, Stephenville, Sept. 23. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Oestreich and son, Brett Lee, have returned from from Schweinfurt, Germany where he had been stationed. Gillespie County has recertified as a Modified Certified Brucellosis Free Area. Such a certification facilitates the free movement of cattle both into and out of the county. The Fredericksburg High School Battlin’ Billies football team scored a 35-6 victory over the Llano Yellowjackets Friday evening. The St. Mary’s Indians swamped the Texas School for the Deaf Rangers, 50-16, Saturday night.

May 23, 1933 - September 21, 2019

David Knopp went to be with God on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2019. David was a longtime resident of San Antonio, Texas. He was born July 23, 1933, to Mary Flint Knopp and Max Knopp in Fredericksburg, Texas. David was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His favorite game to play was football, although he felt it was a waste of time to watch. If he couldn’t “play” football he wasn’t interested. He was a favorite of the Billie fans during his high school years. He received a scholarship to Texas Lutheran University but gave it up after a year for football in the Air Force. His wife, Judy, often teased him that he never had to fight during his time in the military because the “team” could not afford for him to be injured during battle. David worked many years for the Department of Motor Vehicles before opening San Antonio Auto Title Service. If you had a car title problem he could find the solution. David was an extremely hard worker who seemed to not understand that it was okay to rest. He actually considered yard work resting but still took time to enjoy a beer or two or more on the patio at day’s end. David is survived by wife, Judy Knopp; daughter, Karen Klein and husband, Greg, and daughters, Kathy, Kim, and Kristy Knopp; step-daughter, Annette Griffith and husband, Jeff, and step-daughter, Roxy Sunvison. He is also survived by grandchildren, Jason Hicks, Libby and Joey Klein, Jeremiah Luna, and Gabbi, Max, and Katie Griffith; great-grandchildren, Aislin Hicks and Natalie Luna. Also surviving David is twin brother and best friend, James Knopp and wife, Agnes. David is also survived by brotherand sister-in-law, Trey and Gay Lynn Wilson. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. David was preceded in death by sister, Irene Luckenbach, and husband, Wes. He will be forever missed by all of us who loved him so much. A celebration of David’s life will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 2 p.m., at Knopp Assisted Living, 202 Billie Drive, Fredericksburg, TX 78624. Contributions in his memory can be sent to PAWS Shelter of Central Texas, 500 FM 150 East, Kyle TX 78640.

Coyotes: Rural and urban

few years ago, an edition of Texas Wildlife magazine contained two articles about coyotes that I found fascinating and informative. Here are, briefly, some of the things discussed in these articles. First, some basic facts: Coyotes are about the size of a mediumsized dog, 18-24 inches high at the shoulder and three feet long. They weigh between 25 and 40 pounds. They are mostly, but not strictly, nocturnal. They are true omnivores, eating small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and bird eggs, insects, fruit (including melons and prickly pear tunas) and carrion. Coyotes mate for life. Pups are usually born in April or May. Wildlife biologist Steve Jester describes the wide fluctuation in coyote population numbers throughout the year, from a low of about 270,000 in the state in March, before pups are born, to a high of about twice that number just after the pups are born. This indicates a high mortality of the young, although once a pup reaches maturity, its lifespan can be as much as 10 to 15 years. Interestingly, estimates of population densities in Texas indicate that the Hill Country has the lowest population with only about 0.5 coyotes per square mile compared MASTER NATURALIST ▶ D8

Women landowners focus of conference ‘Tips for the Trade’ topic for Monday, Tuesday event in Fredericksburg “Tips for the Trade” is the theme for the Bennett Trust Land Stewardship Women’s Conference, Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 30-Oct. 1, at the Inn on Barons Creek in Fredericksburg. With a greater number of women making the decisions as landowners and operators, the Bennett Trust Land Stewardship Women’s Conference targets this under-served segment of property owners, according to the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service program’s coordinator. Cost is $100 and includes meals, break refreshments and tour transportation. “Women are increasingly the decision-makers on many ranch operations,” said Larry Redmon, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension program leader and associate head, Texas A&M University Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, College Station. “One financial institution branch manager specializing in ranch loans recently said 90% of the decision-makers they deal with are women.” Redmon said in many cases, believing they were protecting their wife, daughter, sister, etc., men who man-

aged financial and other resources in the past failed to include the women in the decision-making process. “Then, when he is suddenly no longer in the picture and the woman inherits the property, she is not prepared to handle the daily management decisions,” he said. And often, Redmon said, they don’t feel comfortable asking all their questions in an audience full of men who might already know the answers. This meeting allows them to network with other women working in the same situation they are. “These women have told us they feel more at ease in an audience of only other women,” he said. “I can testify it is a totally different dynamic.” This program, in its fifth year and winner of the Texas A&M Vice Chancellor’s Award in Excellence for Diversity, aims to provide women the tools they need to manage their piece of Texas, he said. More than 300 women from the Hill Country and as far away as Oklahoma and Louisiana have attended in the past, including numerous repeat attendees, Redmon said.

Survey respondents have indicated they manage anywhere from as few as five to 10 acres up to 5,000 to 10,000 acres. One respondent in a survey said, “When I inherited the land, it might as well have been in China … I had no idea what to do with the property.” After attending the conference, she said, “It’s been such an eye-opener as far as considering what you can do with land in Texas. It’s been wonderful to learn about ecology and ecosystems and saving the type of nature we have. Now I have options I can choose from.” This year’s keynote speaker, Susan Ballabina, Ph.D., Texas A&M AgriLife deputy vice chancellor, College Station, will address conservation of natural resources. Other speakers and their topics on Monday include: • “Quail” by Amanda Gobeli, AgriLife Extension associate with the Texas A&M Institute of Natural Resources, College Station. • “1D1 Wildlife as Agriculture” by Redmon. • “Agriculture Laws Every Land-

owner Needs to Know” by Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, AgriLife Extension, Amarillo. • “Financial Considerations on the Ranch” by Jae Thompson, Capital Farm Credit, Uvalde. • “Path to the Plate” by Whitney Whitworth, AgriLife Extension family and community health agent, Llano County. • “Brush Busters/Prescribed Fire” by Dr. Morgan Treadwell, AgriLife Extension range specialist, San Angelo. • “Guts and Glory: Finding Your Place” by Dr. Megan Clayton, AgriLife Extension range specialist, Corpus Christi. On Tuesday, conference attendees will travel to outdoor sessions on plant identification, skeet shooting and archery in the morning. Following lunch, the group will tour a ranch in the Fredericksburg/ Kerrville area. For more information on the conference, go to https://agrilife.org/ bennetttrust/, or contact Redmon at l-redmon@tamu.edu or Linda Francis, l-francis@tamu.edu.

Registration taken for Birding the Hills program Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will hold a multi-day birding workshop Oct. 7-11 in Fredericksburg. “This is ideal for bird watchers and nature photographers,” said Emily Grant, AgriLife Extension agent, Val Verde County. “Participants will engage with expert speakers and be able to observe birds on private land not previously open to the public.” Birding the Hills will be limited to 15 participants. Online registration is available at https://valverdeextension.ticketleap. com/birding-the-hills/. The cost is $250 per day or $850 for the entire event. The cost includes lunch and dinner while in the field and transportation to birding locations in the Edwards Plateau ecoregion. Departures each morning will be from the Gillespie County AgriLife Extension Office at 95 Frederick

Road. The Edwards Plateau covers an area of West Central Texas that lies roughly between San Angelo, Del Rio, Austin and San Antonio. The eastern part of this region is considered the Texas Hill Country. Workshop highlights include a welcome dinner, three full days of birding, photography opportunities at a private ranch acclaimed by nature photographers and access to private lands, some of which have never been birded before. “Birding the Hills is a great birding program for beginner and intermediate birders,” Grant said. “We’ve focused on educating landowners and birders about the opportunity to use private lands for nature tourism opportunities, and we now will have access to some truly remarkable properties.” Some of the species the workshop hopes to see include the pied-billed

BUY

grebe, white-tailed kite, Swainson’s hawk, common ground dove, rufous-crowned sparrow, clay-colored sparrow, pyrrhuloxia, canyon wren and canyon towhee. “We’re right in the heart of Texas Hill Country, and we’re excited to welcome birders from Texas and across the U.S. to this event,” said Brad Roeder, AgriLife Extension agent, Gillespie County. “Participants will gain access to some of the most scenic ranches and places in Gillespie County.” Each day will feature a different guest speaker during the lunch break covering a wide-range of topics related to birding and wildlife. The educational programs and speakers include: • Oct. 7 — “Birding and Bird Watching: Contributions to Our Conservation Legacy” by Romey Swanson, Audubon Texas director of conservation strategy, Dallas.

• Oct. 8 — “Beef, Birds and Butterflies: Sustainable Coexistence in an Agroecosystem” by John Tomecek, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension wildlife specialist, San Angelo. • Oct. 9 — “Back(yard) 40: Managing Songbirds on Lands Large and Small” by Maureen Frank, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension wildlife specialist, Uvalde. • Oct. 10 — “Land Management at the Kerr Wildlife Management Area” by Ryan Reitz, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist, Kerr. Participants are encouraged to register and then book accommodations immediately due to the high demand in Fredericksburg yearround. A list of hotels, recommended items to pack and additional details are available by contacting Grant at 830-774-7591 or Roeder at 830-9973452.

MASTER NATURALIST Cont. from D7

with 6 coyotes per square mile in South Texas. In an article by Colleen Schreiber, reprinted from Livestock Weekly, the work of Professor Stanley Gerht was described. This was a longterm study of urban coyotes in Chicago that involved radio- and GPS-collars, DNA, and food studies of about 700 coyotes. The Chicago metro area has about nine million people and an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 coyotes. The people have been there much longer than the coyotes, so it is not that the people moved into the coyote’s habitat, but that the coyotes moved into Chicago. This work tells the story of a teenage male that was collared when he was living with his parents. He later dispersed and became part of a pack that established an adjacent territory, then he became the alpha male and helped raise six litters. He was hit by a car 11 years after being first collared. A female coyote collared in 2000 spent her entire life within about five miles of O’Hare Airport, raised seven litters averaging eight pups each and died of natural causes. Her mate was with her the whole time and was still in the area when the article was written in 2014. The study found that urban coyotes are more strictly noc-

turnal, have larger litters and a longer lifespan than rural coyotes. Pup survival is 61 percent in Chicago compared to 13 percent in rural Illinois. Vehicles are the main cause of death in the city while hunting or shooting is the main cause in rural areas. There is even a video of a coyote looking both ways before crossing a road! Rodents and/or rabbits are a main source of food for the urban coyotes. Deer (mostly carcasses, not kills) are also a significant portion of the diet. Fruits of all kinds also make up an important part of their diet. Surprisingly, domestic

house cats (or feral cats) and human garbage make up only one and two percent, respectively, of urban coyote diets. During a 16-year period, only 17 cases of attacks on dogs were reported, and most of these were in February, the beginning of the breeding season. There have been no reports of coyotes attacking people. Chicago has a program to remove problem coyotes from an area, and less than 5% of the collared or marked coyotes were ever labeled as “nuisance” animals. The bottom line seems to

be that coyotes can simply learn to live in urban areas without much conflict with people, even in areas where we would conclude there is no suitable habitat for them. Given the lifespan, the litter size and the small territories many of these urban animals live in, their vision of a good habitat must be different than our vision. Likewise, who would have thought that South Texas would have over 10 times the coyote population of the Hill Country? Are more coyotes being hunted or trapped or shot as predators in the Hill Country to cause this difference? Are there that many more food sources in South Texas? This just seems to me to be one more example of us humans not understanding Nature very well. Who would have thought 7,000 coyotes would choose to live in Chicago? I wouldn’t.

Farm Bureau program offers grants to schools Small-scale gardening and large-scale farming have much in common, and Texas Farm Bureau’s (TFB) Learning from the Ground Up program helps students make that connection. The program grants up to $500 to a teacher or administrator from a public or private Texas school. The Gillespie County farm Bureau will match the $500 grant. The program funds activi-

ties that help students understand the source of their food, fiber and fuel and gain a greater knowledge and appreciation of Texas agriculture. “We need students to have a deeper appreciation for how their food is grown and for the people who grow it,” said Al Weinzierl, president of the Gillespie County Farm Bureau. “This program can help our teachers bring agricultural concepts to life in their classroom.”

Parent-teacher associations and other organizations are open to apply as long as students are involved in the project from beginning to end. Qualifying projects include school gardens, raised beds, greenhouses, hydroponics and aquaponics. These provide students with hands-on learning about agriculture and food production. “Most students learn well when all of their senses are fully engaged, and school gar-

dens can do just that,” Weinzierl said. Applications can be submitted by mail or email and should be received by Oct. 18. Additional information and applications can be found in the Learning from the Ground Up section on www.texasfarmbureau.org/aitc. “We highly encourage educators in the area apply for this grant,” Weinzierl said. “It’s a great opportunity for our students in Gillespie County.”

One of the pleasures of homeownership is the ability to take on projects to customize a house that truly make it your own. With plenty of owners taking on renovation projects as New Year’s resolutions, this report is a great place to search for projects others have undertaken successfully. Nearly three-fourths of Generation Y and Millennial consumers (73 percent,) over half of Generation X (51 percent) and 50 percent of Younger Boomers choose to DIY home projects. Seventy percent of the Silent Generation indicated that they hired a professional to complete their project – the highest of any generation.

When it comes to projects undertaken for the benefit of the consumer’s pet, marginally more respondents indicated complete satisfaction when they hired a professional, 65 percent compared to 61 percent. However, consumers are more likely to DIY a project for a pet (56 percent) than a general home project (47 percent). Anyone taking on remodeling projects to get the most bang for their buck on resale should speak to a REALTOR®, as they have unique and instrumental insights into which projects and upgrades bring the most value to homes in your area.
