Democrat wins HD 45 race in a landslide BY KATIE BURRELL
Zwiener becomes the first Democrat to be elected For the first time in to the HD45 office since roughly a decade, voters in Patrick Rose, who served Hays and Blanco counties from 2003-2010. selected a Democrat as Zwiener secured 42,999 their Texas House repretotal votes between Hays sentative. and Blanco counties and Democrat Erin Zwiener, claimed victory with just a Hays County resident over 53 percent of the vote and educator, defeated in the General Election. Republican Ken Strange Zwiener won the DemoNov. 6 to secure the Texas cratic nomination in March House District 45 seat. by taking 51.4 percent of
the votes against Texas State Professor Rebecca Bell-Metereau in a runoff. At 11:04 p.m. Nov. ZWIENER 6, Zwiener said she got a concession call from Strange, a Wimberley res-
ident and Wimberley ISD school board member, who gave in after 95 percent of Hays County precinct results came in showing Zwiener in the lead. Although Strange won all seven precincts in Blanco County, Zwiener held the edge in Hays County. Zwiener takes the place of Rep. Jason Isaac (R-Dripping Springs), who opted to forgo a reelec-
tion bid for a run at the Texas Senate; Isaac came up short in the March primary for that position. Zwiener, a mother, teacher and activist, ran a grassroots campaign throughout the district in an effort to secure votes on foot. “I’m eager to get to work now,” Zwiener said. “I plan to get stated on all the things I promised from finance reform and public

later took her into a different room and sat on the bed. It was at that point the victim said he felt a pistol pressed against his head and a man’s voice telling him not to get up and not look at him. The victim allegedly told authorities he saw at least two black men in his house, one carrying a shotgun and another carrying a pistol. He also said he thought there were two other men in the house as well, but could not provide descriptions. One of the men took an oxygen hose out of
Strewn about the vehicle bay of Kyle Fire Station No. 1 Monday were several large black crates packed with clothes, bunker gear and various other items. Mike Vasil, Kyle Fire Department (KFD) assistant chief, along with longtime firefighter Brandon Kitchens, spent time taking stock of what they packed, checking to make sure they have everything they need before tossing it into their truck. Vasil and Kitchens, along with two other Kyle firefighters, are part of a legion of 200 Central Texas first responders that will be heading to help California officials combat a pair of deadly, raging wildfires. For Vasil, providing respite for officials who might also be affected by the disaster is ample motivation, even if it means missing out on the holidays. “It’s good to know we can help other firefighters in California. It’s been a long fire season for them,” Vasil said. “The thing is, we can help them, so they can go home to family and deal with any losses they might have themselves.” KFD, along with a firefighter from San Marcos and many more from the Austin area, are part of the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS), which was dispatched by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott earlier this week. KFD, Kyle fire chief, said the mobilization of TIFMAS to California is only the second time firefighters have been dispatched to help out of state. In recent years, TIFMAS has been moblized to assist in natural disasters affecting Texas, such as rescue and recovery efforts in Hurricane Harvey. Taylor said firefighters from Kyle, San Marcos and New Braunfels will be part of two strike teams when they get to California. Firefighters

San Antonio man indicted for role in 2017 Kyle armed robbery BY MOSES LEOS III
A Hays County Grand Jury last month indicted a San Antonio man for his role in a 2017 armed robbery where he and at least three others allegedly held up a Kyle man in his home, while his daughters were sleeping. Charlie King Thompson, 26, was indicted on felony counts of aggravated robbery, engaging in organized criminal activity, credit card abuse and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Thompson also faces a felony count of endangering a child. According to a Hays County arrest affidavit, Kyle Police were dispatched at approximately 12:11 a.m. Sept. 13, 2017 to the 700 block of West Third Street in Kyle for a reported armed robbery. Upon arrival, authorities met with a
The suspects escorted the victim out of the bedroom into the hallway, then into another room where they took his wallet and cell phone while he laid facedown on a bed. The two men also questioned him about his PIN number on his credit card and threatened to “kill him and his daughters” if he lied, according to the affidavit.

The male victim told authorities he was browsing backpage. com, a classified website that’s been accused of enabling prostitution, when he opted to call a woman on an advertisement on the page at around 11 p.m. that night. While the victim didn’t recall the description of the ad, he told authorities the woman’s name was “Racheal,” who was identified as a black woman in a red thong, according to the affi-

INDEX
Updating procedures on how Kyle determines stipends and pay for its city leaders was approved by voters Nov. 6. The item was one of several propositions calling for language changes to the Kyle city charter. Of the seven total propositions on the ballot Nov. 6, all but one were approved. Changes include allowing the city council to adjust their salary and compensation, deferring the appointments of law enforcement personnel to Kyle’s Police Chief and requiring state law to govern various election operations. Many of these changes are procedures council already follows, but are “miswritten” in the charter, according to city leaders. Kyle residents only voted down one proposition, which called for council to have less than a quorum to approve canvassing election results. Per the current Kyle city charter, a quorum consists of three or more city council members. However, the charter allows

davit. The victim called the woman and provided his address; he continued to text the woman until she arrived roughly 30 minutes later, according to the affidavit. While the victim was texting the woman, he told her to “just walk in” as his front door was unlocked and his children were sleeping. The woman, who arrived but briefly walked out after the victim told her he didn’t have a condom. He later walked her to the back of the house and showed her the room where his children were sleeping.

Hays County emergency teams receive $400,000 in Homeland Security grants BY KATIE BURRELL
More than $400,000 in state grants meant to improve emergency response county wide was given the green light by Hays County leaders last month. On Oct. 30, county commissioners accepted four grants totaling $417,477 for the Hays County Office of Emergency Services, Hays County Command Vehicle, resources for the Hays County HazMat Team and technology for the Hays County SWAT Team. Hays County Office of Emergency Services is one of three offices to

serve the region alongside Williamson and Travis counties. “(These grants) are imperative,” said Kharley Smith, Hays County emergency services director. “I’m thankful our elected officials allow us to serve other areas. We have a lot of grant applications currently pending and we got official word this morning about $150,000 to expand
on our flood warning system.” According to grant documents, $200,000 will pay for a command vehicle to be deployed during emergency situations, which will allow for better communication and coordination. The vehicle will be used by county officials during floods, dangerous storms and other emergency sit-
uations. The grant period ends in 2020. Smith said the grant was needed as equipment was getting old. The grant for SWAT was approved previously and split across 2018 and 2019. The SWAT grant calls for $122,477.80 in night-vision technology. The Hays County HazMat Team is receiving $75,000 to update air packs, air
tanks for the team to wear to prevent contact with potentially hazardous chemicals. Many of the emergency services teams are operated mostly or solely through grants and the office is awaiting word on multiple grants. The teams address issues ranging from overturned cars, to calls about suspicious packages and weird smells. According to Smith, the biggest effect of these grants will be on the command center and will be accessible to emergency teams and police departments to better serve the area.
Kyle Charter Amends: Voters approve 6 of 7 charter changes Continued from pg. 1
for as few as two council members to approve election results. The greatest impact these propositions will have is with a section allowing the city council to set and adjust their salary once every three years after holding two public hearings and receiving recommendation from a committee. The charter currently prevents all members from receiving an increase or decrease in monthly salary at the same time. According to the current charter, one
council member could be paid more than another for the same position. The new procedure will allow changes to salary to be equitable across the dais. Council members receive $100 monthly while the mayor receives $200. Mayor Travis Mitchell said the other changes to the charter will not be significant, but will allow for more consistency in its wording. The Kyle City Charter was written in 2002; according to the mayor, the charter often contradicts itself. The charter will now match
as usual, but now the charter will make sense.” The failed proposition will likely be tried again in the future, Mitchell said. “I think the wording on that one confused
people,” Mitchell said. “We’ve always canvassed elections the way we are required to, but the charter isn’t accurate. We’ll probably try it as a proposition again in the future.”

the victim’s nose, causing him to be short-winded. The suspects escorted the victim out of the bedroom into the hallway, then into another room where they took his wallet and cell phone while he laid face down on a bed. The two men also questioned him about his PIN number on his credit card and threatened to “kill him and his daughters” if he lied, according to the affidavit. The suspects were in the home for roughly 30 minutes before they fled. The suspects took several televisions and jewelry, along with the victim’s Ford F-150. The victim’s daughters, who are minors, told police they were asleep in their bed when they heard noise in the house. One of the victim’s daughters saw several men and one woman going through their stuff, then later saw a black man wearing “dark colored clothing” standing with her father in a room while holding a gun. One of the daughters said she saw the suspects leave the house in her fa-
practices currently in place. “The charter has some parts that are paradoxical, and these propositions aimed to fix the language,” Mitchell said. “We’re going to continue

Six days later, on Sept. 19, 2017, Kyle Police investigators received bank transactions from the victim showing several locations in San Antonio where they had used his credit card. Authorities received surveillance video from the locations and saw three people who were later identified as Paul Coleman, Darrian Roberts and Tabreya Williams, who were all connected via social media. On Oct. 16, Kyle Police received a recovered stolen property report in San Antonio regarding the victim’s pickup truck. According to the affidavit, San Antonio authorities arrested a man, later identified as Thompson, who had a physical altercation with a woman. According to the report, Thompson allegedly told the woman he stole the white truck and that she “better not tell anyone.” However, Thompson assaulted the woman who later called police. Thompson is being held in the Hays County Jail on $66,000 bond.

Preparing for what’s next Legislators, elected officials prepare for transition to office BY EXSAR ARGUELLO Three days after the Nov. 6 midterm elections, Representative-elect Erin Zwiener hopped in her car and took a visit to her new office at the state capitol building in Austin, still absorbing her stunning win. Zwiener, who claimed victory over Republican Ken Strange, managed to flip a House District 45 seat that had been red since 2010. Despite not having access to her keys until the day before the 86th Legislative Session starts in January, Zwiener, like hundreds of other newly elected representatives across the country, are trying to prepare. From now until January, newly elected commissioners and state representatives are tirelessly working behind the scenes, studying and reviewing as much information as they can before they vote and act on policy decisions that will define the future of Hays County. Zwiener said she has been in contact with Rep. Jason Isaac (R-Dripping Springs) during this transitory stage; the two are looking to schedule meetings in the coming months. As someone with a lot of information on local bills, Isaac has a lot of information about local bills that Zwiener wants to review. One of Zweiner’s first points of emphasis will be introducing a bill that could grant the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District powers granted in Chapter 36 of

“We make ourselves available and our job, first and foremost, is to provide the legal advice that may come from policy actions that are part policy, legislative and judicial. This court wears a lot of different hats and we do our best to educate incoming members.” –Mark Kennedy, General Counsel to the Hays County Commissioners Court
the Texas Water Code. This would give the water district additional power to regulate groundwater. Additionally, funding could be granted to the water district in order to hire adequate staff. “It hits me in stages. I’m really excited to change gears and get to work,” Zwiener said. “It’s a little confusing not desperately knocking on doors as I did for 21 months, and it still hasn’t quite hit yet.” Zwiener said she will support the policies she believes in, but will always have an open door to speak with those who voted for her or those who didn’t. “I can’t promise I’ll always agree with you, but I promise I will always give a straight answer about why I’m voting the way I am,” Zwiener said. At the Office of General Counsel to the Hays County Commissioners Court, general counsel Mark Kennedy and his team are working to make this transition for the newly elected commissioners smooth. Kennedy said this is a perfect time for newly elected representatives to do their homework before the ball gets rolling in 2019. “We make ourselves available, and our job, first and foremost, is to pro-
vide the legal advice that may come from policy actions that are part policy, legislative and judicial,” Kennedy said. “This court wears a lot of different hats and we do our best to educate incoming members.” Kennedy and his staff are not strangers to this transition. In 2011, Hays County Commissioners Court turned red following that year’s midterm elections. The court went from four Democrats and one Republican to four Republicans and one Democrat overnight. “We’ve done this before but it isn’t a task that’s easily achieved,” Kennedy said. “Building that trust between the newly elected officials takes time. It doesn’t necessarily run along party lines. I have to win the trust of all the commissioners as much as I have to get the trust of the judge.” Kennedy said he has already had meetings with County Judge-elect Ruben Becerra and is working on scheduling a new time to meet with Precinct 4 Commissioner-elect Walt Smith. The time frame between November and January is the most important time frame to take advantage of, he said. The newly elected
Traveling to help fight wildfires is not a new experience for Vasil. During the summer, Vasil was part of a small group of Texans who joined to battle the Carr fire in northern California, which burned more than 200,000 acres. Vasil said the magnitude of fires in California is different than what they usually deal with. That includes having to work against the Santa Anna winds, which can blow up to 50 to 60 miles per hour. Fire crews also have to take into account a different landscape, which can include driving up and down winding logging roads along the side of mountains. Those who are a part of TIFMAS traveling to help in combating wildfires have to meet certain qualifications to be eligible to go. Taylor said responding firefighters must be able to be self sufficient
for up to 21 days. That includes packing fire gear and enough clothes, along with tents, cots and other items. Firefighters also try to keep up with weather patterns, so as to make sure they have the correct gear. “We can’t send someone out there that doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing,” Vasil said. Back home, Taylor and other area fire chiefs aim to fill the void left by firefighters who will be gone for close to three weeks. Providing overtime for full- and parttime firefighters is one way KFD plans to bridge the gap. The department also plans to have firefighters from North Hays County and Austin assist as well. “The main thing is we still have to respond to calls in Kyle,” Taylor said. “I’ve got to get these guys’ shifts covered for the next 21 days.”
representatives will also have the opportunity to attend the Texas Association of Counties’ Seminar for Newly Elected County Judges & Commissioners, which will be held in January. The workshop helps prepare the representatives for life as an elected official on the court, educating them on what they can expect on the road ahead. “I’m a pragmatist. I don’t have strong political leanings,” Kennedy said. “There is legal analysis that goes into what we do. We find solutions and provide legal advice, and that’s the part I enjoy.”

will provide boots on the ground for anywhere from 14 to 21 days, Taylor said. What their tasks will be once they arrive is still up in the air, Taylor said. Current estimates call for the group to provide structure protection. In addition, the group could be asked to provide manpower for Los Angeles County’s 60 fire stations, which have been taxed in recent days as they battle the blaze. The fire, dubbed the Woolsey Fire, has consumed more than 92,000 acres and is approximately 15 percent contained, according to a National Public Radio report. In total, 44 people have died as a result of several wildfires in California, with many more displaced and evacuated. “It’s good that we have the ability to help our neighbors, whether it’s in state or out-of-state,” Taylor said.

Regardless, the Central Texas Regional Mayors Coalition has begun organizing and intends to meet further to prepare for the state legislative session which begins in January 2019. The participating mayors said they want to help each other solve various taxing and infrastructure issues up and down the I-35 corridor.

REBEL FOOTBALL, 10
Early miscues hurt Lobos in season ending loss to Akins BY SHANE SCHOLWINSKI A 35-point first half deficit proved too much for the Lehman Lobos to overcome Friday as they capped off a winless season with a 49-25 loss to the Akins Eagles Friday. Despite suffering the program’s 17th loss in a row, Lobo head coach Bruce Salmon praised his team for showing up “each and every week” and battling no matter what. “We fought all the way until the end, got off to a little bit of a slow start tonight, but it says a lot about what they are trying to do,” Salmon said. “Sometimes it didn’t always reflect on the scoreboard, but they’ve helped kind of lay a foundation that we can build off of in the future.” Everything went wrong for the Lobos in the first half as they weren’t able to move the ball on offense, had multiple breakdowns on defense, and struggled on special teams. Akins’ offense moved the ball at will as senior quarterback Nicholas Cagle threw three passing touchdowns and rushed for one in the first half. Eagles senior running back Ausere Ivey also got into the end zone in the second quarter with a one-yard touchdown run. “We had some mental mistakes, and a couple of breakdowns and missed assignments that got us behind and then the turnover on the kickoff where they got the ball back on the onside,” Salmon said. “It kind of shell-shocked us a little bit, but we ended up coming back from that and ended up doing a lot better (in the second half).” The Lobos showed heart and grit in the sec-

ond half as they were able to find their rhythm on offense and play physical on defense. Lehman sophomore quarterback Bryant Lewis finished the game with 150 yards rushing and three total touchdowns on 14 carries. Lobo junior running back Keyshaun Williams rushed the ball 15 times for 58 yards, while sophomore Phillip Garcia added 36 yards on 11 carries for the Lehman offense. Although the Lobo offense got on track in the second half, the Eagles’ lead was too much to overcome as Cagle scored two more rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Cagle had six total touchdowns on the night, as well as 169 yards rushing on 17 carries and
72 yards passing on four completions. As rough as the season was for Lehman, Salmon liked the perseverance that the senior class showed week to week. “This group has been through three head coaches, and just tying everything together the perseverance part is a big deal,” Salmon said. “They are going to remember each other and they are going to remember how they fought through things together. That’s the thing that high school football kind of does, it kind of cements a lot of that brotherhood together.” The overall record doesn’t always reflect what is going on behind the scenes in a football
program, and Salmon believes the culture at Lehman has taken major strides this season. One of the major totem poles was reducing the amount of players missing games due to poor grades. Salmon estimated the program dropped its failure rate by 21 percent in 2018, which allowed the program to “hold onto a lot of the kids.” “They’ve taken care of business with the character in the class, and what they played with and displayed, and community service stuff they did is a huge thing, too,” Salmon said. “Those are things you don’t see on a Friday night, but those kind of character things is what’s going to build consistency in the kids.”
Tigers down Lobos in early season thriller BY REED GRAFF The 1-0 Lehman Lobo basketball team hosted the 0-1 Dripping Springs Tigers Tuesday night in a game that went down to the wire. Dripping Springs ultimately defeated Lehman 62-57. The Lehman Lobos came out of the game firing early, which is exactly what head coach Steve Pinchback wants from his team. “Our guys shoot a lot of shots,” Pinchback said. “What you saw today is what we do. We get after it.” That aggressive play style showed in the first half. Senior Marcus Cantu and juniors Zackary Harris and Isaiah Gonzales
lit it up from three point line early and the Lobos finished the first quarter with a 14 to 12 lead over the Tigers. The Tigers fought back in the second quarter. Senior Tyler Smith scored five points of his own in the first, and fellow senior Nick Statz added three of his own. The Tigers held a lead going into the last few minutes of the half. Cantu of the Lobos fired back, however. Following a two pointer from senior Cameron Jones, Cantu nailed a corner three as the half time buzzer rang to give his team a 33-28 lead going into the half. The Lobos had all the momentum.

HCISD students refurbish vintage fire truck BY EXSAR ARGUELLO
A sense of accomplishment cut through the chill fall air last week when Hays High educator Paul Anderlitch revved up the engine of a vintage 1952 GMC fire truck. Once the engine was primed and ready, students in Anderlitch’s automotive technology class smiled and hopped on the back of the truck, laughing as the strong wind blew in their faces as they briefly cruised the campus. The moment was the culmination of months of hard work put in by Anderlitch’s students, who helped get the vintage vehicle running and operational. The truck was operated by the Kyle Fire Department (KFD) before it was sold to a private buyer in Austin. It fell into the hands of the school district after the owner couldn’t get the vehicle to start, prompting a year-long project to get the shiny red machine running again. The feat was all part of the success of Hays CISD’s Careers & Technical Education (CTE) programs, an effort to engage students through project-based learning. The students, under the guidance of Anderlitch, repaired oil leaks, faulty brakes, pulley systems, wiring, alternator and manual transmission and other smaller repairs. Once the project was complete, the engine roared for the first time in more than a decade. “I’m really proud of the students in the class because they really did a lot of the work themselves,” Alderlitch said. “These are 16and 17-year-olds getting their hands dirty and learning with hands-on experience, just like in the real world.” But for the educators at
HCISD, the project represents a learning model school districts across the country are beginning to implement. Project-based learning is centered around giving students hands-on experience in a particular field. Conventional classroom settings, where students are sitting in desks, do not typically foster an environment of collaboration and creativity. According to Suzi Mitchell, HCISD CTE director, CTE courses are heavily underutilized and can offer a variety of certifications for students to begin working in high demand jobs once they graduate. “Our automotive technology students can become Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified, which is a nationally recognized certification,” Mitchell said. “These students enjoy CTE courses because they are hands-on and engaging. You get your hands dirty, but you learn.” Belonging again to the KFD, the fire truck will no longer be used for emergency purposes, Anderlitch said, and it will probably be used during parades and special celebrations in the city. Mitchell said the district is currently working on building auto technology facilities at Lehman High, in order to provide the same CTE program to those students. The facilities were approved by voters as part of the 2017 bond. Johnson High will have an auto tech program when it opens in 2019. “We’ve got to keep these programs alive and thriving,” Mitchell said. “Not every student will go to college, so we are opening opportunities for them to be successful after they graduate.”
An alternative draft map created by Hays CISD Superintendent Eric Wright Monday is a third option leaders will ponder as they solidify high school attendance boundaries The map was presented Nov. 12 with the intent to minimize overpopulation and the number of socioeconomically disadvantaged students at several campuses throughout the district, including at Lehman High. Map 2-A, created by the superintendent, will join map 3 and 6 as recommended to the board by the rezoning committee. The latter two maps had been recommended by the district’s rezoning committee to the board earlier this month. Hays CISD trustees will consider adopting a map at the Nov. 26 meeting, giving them the opportunity to review all three maps through the Thanksgiving break. Wright said the creation of the new map came in light of studying and observing the dis-

cussions by the community, board and rezoning commission. Map 2-A draws influence from the concerns of overcrowding at middle and high schools throughout the district. “I think 2-A is the map that hits most of the board priorities and matches their policy,” Wright said. “Socioeconomic diversity wasn’t one of those factors and I think that was something none of the other maps really addressed because of the population density in the Lehman attendance zone, but we’re going to have to figure that out internally.”
Before the superintendent’s recommendation, Brett Pennington, a 1996 Hays graduate and member of the rezoning committee, called for the board to look at Draft Map 2, which he believed prevents overcrowding, compared to Draft Map 6. “When you look at the map and make a decision, it needs to be 100 percent Hays CISD,” Pennington said. “Not 100 percent Hays High School, or 100 percent Lehman or 100 percent Johnson. Every map has a middle school overcrowded within the next two years.” Despite those issues,

Pennigton said Draft Map 2 did the best job at addressing overcrowding at the schools. Under Draft Map 2-A, Lehman High and Simon Middle School would be the last two schools to reach its building capacities. The decision to keep these schools under capacity for an extended period of time was drawn after data concluded that Lehman and Simon have the highest population of socioeconomically disadvantaged students in the district. “The plan was to make sure (Lehman and Simon) had the smallest numbers throughout the years so we can give them the support those students need,” Wright said. “That includes additional resources for the students and more staffing.” According to the districts map 2-A projection, Lehman and Simon will not reach capacity until 2027 and 2026 respectively.

Garden sage: the herb of Thanksgiving A Ask Chris

salvere , meaning to be saved. On the medical front it has been used as a stimulant and a tonic. One of its most valued uses is as a mouthwash, to help heal sores in the mouth and as a gargle for sore throats. Garden sage is easy to grow and stays evergreen throughout the winter months. It likes good drainage and a sunny location for at least the first half of the day. Although it is a perennial, it only lasts for two to three years and needs to be replaced as the old plants begin to get woody and deteriorate. Sage flowers are blue to purple and bees love them. Pure sage honey is said to be some of the
most valuable in the world. And not only does sage have a role in the kitchen and the medicine cabinet… but it looks beautiful in the garden as well. There are about a half a dozen forms of sage that can be planted. All have the same culinary and medicinal uses. Here are a few to look for: Common Garden sage will have the characteristic gray leaves with the purple-blue flowers. Purple garden sage has a purple-ish cast to the new growth. The leaves then turn gray with age. Tricolor sage is a variegated cultivar, which has green, cream, and pink colors in the leaves. This variety will lose its pink color if planted in too much shade. Biergarden sage is a gray leaf cultivar that has broad leaves and stays slightly shorter than its common cousin. All of these cultivars

lthough during Thanksgiving the spotlight tends to focus on the cooks of the house, I believe it should also be a time for gardeners to receive some acclaim. So, gardeners of Buda, Kyle and Austin, if you grew any of the vegetables that are part of next Thursday’s Thanksgiving feast, then speak up at the dinner table, and be sure to take a bow, along with the cook! For its contribution to our enjoyment of the Thanksgiving dinner, no culinary herb comes to mind more than garden sage Known in the botanical world as Salvia officinalis, this amazing herb originated in the Mediterranean basin and has a long history of culinary and medicinal uses in Europe and China. Its genus name is salvia, which is derived from the Latin word

Hays’ first winning season in four years, Goad said players are looking ahead. “They’re excited about being 8-2.

Hays High student and Boy Scout Kam Welma joins VFW Post 12161 members Saturday in retiring a U.S. flag.
Buda Boy Scout completes flag retirement project BY MOSES LEOS III
Surrounded by family, friends and onlookers Saturday, Hays High sophomore Kam Welma took pride in accomplishing a feat that has been months in the making. On the outside, his project, a fire pit constructed of stone and mortar, is simple and unimposing. But for Welma, a member of Buda Boy Scout Troop 967, it’s what the pit symbolizes that matters most – a place where area residents can properly and respectfully retire American flags. That was the goal for Welma, who on Saturday officially cut the ribbon for a U.S. Flag retirement area at the Buda Veterans Memorial at Bradfield Park. For Welma, the chance to construct something that is a benefit to the community was an enjoyable experience.
Perhaps more so was the chance to retire approximately 20 donated American flags with the respect they all deserve. “It made me feel accomplished that all of my hard work finally paid off for the flag and for the community,� Welma said. “That it will be there forever.� Welma’s path toward crafting the retirement area began when he was a Cub Scout years ago. Welma said the troop had a flag retirement ceremony behind the Buda Fire Station on FM 2770, but burned the flag in a barbecue pit, which didn’t sit well with Welma. “This hit me right in the feelings because it was not respectful enough,� Welma said. “So I was determined to make a proper place to retire the U.S. Flag. The opportunity came last year when Welma looked for a community service project to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
The process started by trying to get multiple entities and people on the same page. That includes calling the city of Buda to approve the project, along with contacting a contractor to approve the project. Welma said he had to go to different companies to ask if they could donate supplies to the project, which included crafting a donation letter. All of the materials for the project were free and donated by several parties. The only costs was a $750 fee for masons to complete the fire pit. All told, the entire project took six weeks to finish. Welma said his parents, Fire Chief Clay Huckaby, contractors and his Boy Scouts troop all played a key role in getting the project off of the ground. “I feel pretty amazing knowing there is a proper place to retire a flag in my community,� Welma said.

Kyle leaders approve workforce housing complex despite debate BY KATIE BURRELL
A new workforce housing apartment complex will soon be making its way to Kyle. On Nov. 5, the Kyle City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Kyle Dacy Lofts, a proposed workforce housing complex, by a 4-3 vote. However, debate ensued over whether more projects like Dacy Lofts should be approved in the future and if procedures for these complexes should change. Council members Dex Ellison, Shane Arabie and Daphne Tenorio voted against the deal for vari-
NRP Holdings, LLC will be responsible for developing the 300-unit complex which will house those who make an annual income of no more than $56,700, which is 60 percent of Kyle’s median household income.
ous reasons. While Kyle Dacy Lofts will not pay county or state taxes, developers will pay a PILOT fee of $2,111,821 over 15 years to the city of Kyle. The city and the developers determined the amount after negotiations, as city
staff “felt it was pertinent to negotiate” the payment to replace the city taxes that will not be paid. City officials say the amount is near the total number of taxes the developers would pay to the city. Kyle Mayor Travis
Mitchell said he was in favor of the project as there will be a fee paid in place of property taxes. All other exemptions for the project will also come from the federal government, Mitchell said. “Affordable housing can be achieved through
affordable development … it is incumbent upon the council to determine how they vote on these projects as they come and not predetermine if workforce housing is good or bad,” Mitchell said. Arabie questioned if council should designate a specific zone for these projects, requiring them to be built in the same general area. Mitchell echoed the idea that these complexes belong in the multifamily housing zone. While no decision was made for future zoning requirements, the Kyle Dacy Lofts project

Texans rank as 10th fattest in the nation BY EXSAR ARGUELLO Texas is continuously falling behind in physical health and the numbers are starting to back that up. Rising rates of childhood obesity, as well as diabetes, are some of the factors that lead to Texas’ rank as the 10th fattest state in the union, according to a WalletHub story. According to Wallethub, more than 21 percent of Texas’ children are obese, the second highest in the country. Additionally, roughly 15 percent of Texas children are physically inactive, leading some experts to conclude local governments, schools and organizations could be supplying additional resources to health education. Texas has the highest volume of fast food restaurants per capita in the country, according to WalletHub statistics. “Almost 12 percent of the adults in Texas have type two diabetes, the tenth highest percentage in the country,” said Jill Gonzalez, an analyst at Wallethub. “However, the number of projected new cases of diabetes by 2030 is 11,107 per 100,000 residents, which in the 8th lowest nationwide.” For those at the Hays County Food Bank, their mission has now extended to providing citizens cooking and nutrition classes. These efforts,
“Almost 12 percent of the adults in Texas have type two diabetes, the tenth highest percentage in the country.” –Jill Gonzalez, Wallethub analyst
according to Hays County Food Bank Communications Coordinator Mallory Best, could help educate people on what foods are considered nutritious. “Unfortunately, people buy what they can afford and healthy foods tend to be a little more expensive compared to your processed, high carb foods,” Best said. “Boxed meals and fast food are cheap. They fill you up fast for
now, but they don’t provide any nutrition to the body.” Best said the cooking and nutrition classes teach people how to cook affordable meals that they can take home to their kids and family. The food bank also challenges its recipients to buy a vegetable they've never cooked with before, as a means to spark creativity with what they can cook.
But despite these advancements, the U.S. weight loss and diet control market was valued at around $66 billion, according to the study. Additionally, the United States spends around $200 billion in annual healthcare costs related to obesity. According to a United States Department of Agriculture Oct. 2018 report, a family of four, with a moderate-cost
plan, will spend up to $141 a week on food. Based on these projections, a family of four in the United States will spend over $7,000 a year on food. Access to affordable, nutritious foods may not be feasible for those living below or at the poverty line. “We try to make sure that a third of everything we distribute is produce,” Best said. “A typical distribution will consist of frozen meat, produce, onions, potatoes, salads and loaves of bread. The goal is to pack as many nutritious foods as we can that will provide people with the fuel to get them throughout their day.”
Time to think about year-end investment moves Financial Focus by Kevin M Spotts
Add to your IRA. For the 2018 tax year, you can put up to $5,500 into your traditional or Roth IRA (assuming you are eligible), or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older. If you haven’t reached this limit, consider adding some money. You have until April 15, 2019, to contribute to your IRA for 2018, but why wait until the last minute? Increase your 401(k) contributions. You already may be investing in your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan, but you might be able to bump up your contributions for the rest of the year, if it’s allowed. Of course, you should always put in enough to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered. Take your RMDs. If you are 70½ or older, you must start taking withdrawals – called required minimum distributions, or RMDs – from your traditional IRA and your 401(k) or similar retirement plan. Generally, you must take these RMDs by December 31 every year. But if you turned 70½ in 2018, you can wait until April 1, 2019, until you take your first RMD. However, you will then have to take a second RMD (the one for age 71) by December 31, 2019. Taking two RMDs in one year could give you an unexpectedly large taxable income for the year, possibly bumping you into a higher tax bracket and affecting the amount of your Social Security benefits subject to taxes. So, if you are considering delaying your first RMD, consult with your tax advisor. Make changes in response to life events. In 2018, did you experience a major life event, such as a marriage, divorce or addition of a child? Or did you change jobs or retire? Any of these events could lead you to adjust your investment plans, so now may be the time to do so, possibly with the help of a financial professional. Review your investment mix. At least once a year, it’s a good idea to review your investment mix to ensure it’s still suitable for your goals and risk tolerance. Sometimes, even without your taking any action, your portfolio

She cited public housing, which is “something as a council we need to start talking about,” and the Section 8 Voucher program. “I’m very uncomfortable with the fact that we’re not communicating and looking into other options for our citizens right now,” Tenorio said.
Map 2-A, Lehman will have an economically disadvantaged (ED) population of 64.8 percent, the highest in the district. Map three and six lists Lehman at 61.8 percent ED respectively. “The overwhelming response was to keep the middle schools intact and by doing so it elevated that ED population somewhat,” Wright said. “The overall capacity will be less at those high ED campuses, so we can support those campuses with additional resources.” Looking at all the recommended maps, Secretary Vanessa Petrea said she was most concerned with the overcrowding of the middle schools and is in favor of
