Drippin’ with tiny homes BY PAIGE LAMBERT
News-Dispatch Reporter
Alex Worlow, of Dripping Springs, climbed the stairs to the bedroom loft above the bathroom of a 200-square-foot tiny home. The staggered stairs served as storage space, as did every nook and cranny of the home. The trend of tiny homes, defined as dwellings that only span a couple hundred square feet and built on trailers, is now spreading across Dripping Springs. Worlow, who owns Nomad Tiny Homes, recently began building tiny homes after 10

News-Dispatch Reporter
When John Macintosh opened The Barber Shop in 2010, there wasn’t much business on Mercer Street. Macintosh, who has been around since the 1980s, said the street once resembled a ghost town. Residents only ventured down Mercer during a trip to the post office, said Sherrie Parks, Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce executive director. Then the post office moved to its current location in 2009, and many simply forgot about Mercer after that – PHOTO BY PAIGE LAMBERT until businesses, such as The The Barber Shop is one of several bustling businesses on the once empty Barber Shop, started to see the Mercer Street in downtown Dripping Springs. appeal of opening in Dripping Springs’ downtown. downtown again,” Parks businesses is just dead, like a “We kinda lost our identisaid,“which led to businessmuseum.” ty for a little while, of where es going, oh we can have a Business owners flocked to is Dripping Springs,” Parks monthly shopping event for make their stake on Mercer said. “The city hall is here but people to come downtown.” Street soon after everyone really The half mile stretch of road the bar opened, enjoys an area now sees at least one business Parks said. they can identify move in every year, Parks said.

Man arrested in exotic hunting incident BY SAMANTHA SMITH
News-Dispatch Reporter
The Hays County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man March 15 after he lied to authorities about illegally darting an antelope inside a gated subdivision in Wimberley. Authorities arrested Jared Grady OFFTERMATT Offtermatt, 26, of Spring Branch, on four charges including Hunting/Possession of an Exotic animal, which is a Class A misdemeanor, and giving a false report to a peace officer, which is a Class B misdemeanor. He was booked into the Hays County Jail and released on March 15 on $8,000 bond. According to an arrest affidavit, authorities were called in the early morning hours March 7, 2015 for a black buck antelope that was darted in the Las Lornas gated subdivision in Wimberley. The black buck antelope belonged to the Las Lornas Home Owners Association and was valued at $1,700 to $2,000. A deputy who was on scene recovered a PneuDart tranquilizer dart with an attached transmitter containing a serial number. The deputy sent the dart for forensic analysis, while tracking the company that sold the dart, which verified Offtermatt had purchased transmitters in October 2014. The deputy interviewed Offtermatt, who denied darting the antelope, but said he owned the darts and they were stolen from his truck. According to the affidavit, Offtermatt did not file a report for the theft, but said he ordered replacement darts on Feb. 27, 2015. The deputy checked with the company, which found

Marriage rates have declined over the past five years due to the lack of serious, longterm dating. It has been discovered that young people prefer to gaze at their phones more that into the eyes of their dinner dates. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson might’ve stated that the average size of a teenaged brain has shrunk over the past decade due to kids relying on their smartphones to hold data and to do simple calculations instead of using their minds. If Dr. Carson didn’t really say this, he should’ve. Okay, let me conclude by revealing my hypothesis of this extensive research.

Late inning heroics lift Tiger softball to win over Rangers STAFF REPORT
Two runs scored in the bottom of the seventh inning pushed the Dripping Springs Lady Tigers softball team to a dramatic, come-from-behind 5-4 win over the Vista Ridge Rangers. Providing the drama was Tiger Paige Leschber, who delivered a walk-off hit in the seventh frame for the victory. Leschber finished the game by going 3 for 4 with three RBIs and a double in the contest. With the win, Dripping Springs (17-4) continued to stay unbeaten in district play with a 4-0 record.

Its lead grew to 2-0 in the fourth before Vista Ridge surged ahead in the top of the seventh inning.

But Dripping Springs countered early with pitcher Johnny Hoyle, who struck out four batters on the night. Hoyle crushed through the first two innings by allowing one baserunner, who reached first on a Tiger error. Payne said Hoyle’s ability to throw his change-up for strikes in the early going helped keep Cedar Park at bay. “He locates it well. That’s his best pitch right now,” Payne said. But Cedar Park made adjustments in the third inning and took the advantage, and momentum, from the Tigers. Following a Seth Sparks single and a walk by Austin Silguero, Timberwolves lead-off batter Lance Holman bunted, which led to a throwing error. Two runs scored to give Cedar Park a 2-0 lead. Holman was driven in via a Jackson Molinaro sacrifice RBI ground ball out to give Cedar Park a 3-0 lead. The Timberwolves took a 4-0 advantage after 4.5 innings. Payne said Hoyle felt fine on the mound during the inning, and stayed competitive throughout.

Dripping Springs’ Ethan Fernea rounds second base as Cedar Park’s second baseman looks for a throw from the outfield after Reese Johnson hit a double in the fifth inning. Fernea, who scored on the play, was 2 for 4 at the plate in the 4-1 loss.
“Sometimes you lose it and you don’t know you lost it,” Payne said. “For us as coaches, to monitor that is important.” Despite struggles,
Dripping Springs’ offense found its groove in the fifth inning. Following a single by Ethan Fernea, Johnson followed by belting a RBI
double to left center field, scoring Fernea for the Tigers’ lone run. “I heard everyone

DRIPPING SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL
Tiger Shack preps future entrepreneurs for success BY PAIGE LAMBERT
News-Dispatch Reporter
C
layton Kurpiewski of Dripping Springs listened intently to his college professor’s discussion about accounting and finance. As the professor went on, Kurpiewski flashed back to when he was learning the same fundamentals at the Dripping Springs ISD’s Tiger Shack. The Tiger Shack is part of a four-year program that teaches students financial literacy and entrepreneurship, said DSISD cornerstone coordinator Cindy Reynolds. Students learn about business principles and concepts during their first two years and then apply what they have learned by running the Tiger Shack their junior year, she said. “These are life skills these kids need to know,” Reynolds said. “We actually give them a checkbook and make them budget as if they actually had bills.” The Tiger Shack was organized by the Dripping Springs High School booster club and sold all of the district’s branded merchandise. Since Reynolds took over in 2014, the students do everything from stocking the shelves to managing its finances, she said. Each student chooses
“Each year, several vendors will pitch items and they (students) are the ones asking the questions ... They don’t believe it’s their store until they start making the big decisions.” – Cindy Reynolds, DSISD cornerstone coordinator
what role they want in the shop’s success, she said. Some students focus on developing an efficient floor plan while others meet with vendors. “Each year, several vendors will pitch items and they (students) are the ones asking the questions,” Reynolds said. “They don’t believe it’s their store until they start making the big decisions.” Reynolds said the class sets sales goals each year and tackles problems like any other business. She said one of the biggest problems is dealing with burnout after spring break. The store’s biggest revenue was sales at athletic home games, she said. Now the store has to figure out how to keep growing while so many other school functions are winding down, she said. “There’s always
something that comes up,” Reynolds said. “It’s all about watching what is going on in the community.” Kurpiewski said he worked on the accounting and general operation of the store. When he wasn’t working on a marketing campaign or meeting suppliers, Kurpiewski honed his customer service skills. “There are so many money movers out there who don’t know anything about their product or their client,” Kurpiewski said. “Customer service is so important when you’re dealing with any part of a business.” Tiger Shack and its program helps students hone their interests in business as well as giving them practical moneyhandling skills, Reynolds said.
Students take on an internship at a local bank or business during their senior year. Reynolds said she now manages 22 interns. Grant Buck, Pioneer Bank marketing director, said interns at Pioneer Bank cycle through the different roles of the department they are interested in. “The sooner they learn, the better equipped they will be for the real world,” Buck said. “And they aren’t far away from that.” The program has helped students during the college application process, Reynolds said. Colleges typically look for extracurricular activities that show a student’s determination and problem solving, she said. She added it’s an even better fit since most of the students in the program go on to study business or marketing. Kurpiewski’s accounting professor regularly touches on subjects he experienced at the Tiger Shack, he said. His experiences in the program have helped him get a leg up in college, but also confirmed his passion for business. “It’s helping me see what I already know and what I still need to know, “he said. “The Tiger Shack helped me recognize the importance of finances in the current economic climate.”

Tiny Homes: It’s mobile, it’s cozy

accrue property taxes and currently there aren’t building codes or permit requirements specifically for tiny homes, according to Worlow. Rick Coneway, Dripping Springs director of public works and development, said the city would have to look at ways of inspecting a tiny home if it was located within the city limits. He said one of the questions would be if tiny homes would lead to owners wanting smaller, permanent lots. “It all depends on how permanent it is and if it will be hooked up to a utility,” Coneway said. “It is certainly viable.” Worlow said many people in the area want to use it as a “grandmother” addition or rental space. Tiny homes usually cost $40,000 to $50,000, he said. “One lady’s mom was living in a house, but she couldn’t afford the house,” Worlow said. “So they are going to put a tiny house in the backyard to rent out so she can afford to live in the house she’s had forever.” Tasha Nikora of Dripping Springs said many of her friends are interested in tiny homes for their sustainability. Since the home is so small, it can be easily hooked up to a rainwater system or a compost toilet. Nikora said the addition of sustainable techniques separates tiny homes from the typical mobile home or trailer. “It’s made to take on a modern feel with technology and being earth friendly,” Nikora said. “You can be off the grid

of where the antelope was darted. On Aug. 20, 2015, lab results showed the dart had trace amounts of Telazol, which is listed as a Schedule III drug. Offtermatt recanted his statement, saying he took his father-in-law’s dart gun without permission to dart a Black Buck Antelope, which ran off when he shot it just inside of the gate. Since Offtermatt darted the animal but did not collect the kill, he is being charged with Criminal Attempt for not completely carrying out the act, which is a Class B misdemeanor.

According to Parks, the mixed use area has seen multiple shops pop up in the past two years and a food truck park will soon be opening its doors. There was another influx of visitors to Mercer when Dripping Springs became the official wedding capital of Texas last year, Parks said. “All those wedding guests come and they need something to do,” Parks said. “And the sweet thing is they come and enjoy our town.” Parks said the next big thing for Mercer may be the addition of more housing around the downtown area. Doing so would create the live, shop, play mentality, according to Parks. Macintosh said he is excited to see more businesses come in and attract more visitors and future residents of Dripping Springs. “Mercer Street is definitely going to change over the next 10 years but for the better,” he said. “It’ll be exciting to see what it all has to offer.”

screaming in the dugout. It made me feel pretty good, like I was hitting with the whole team,” Johnson said. “I saw it come in and I saw it well. I swung as hard as I could.” But the Tigers couldn’t maintain momentum to orchestrate another rally. Blake, along with pitcher Omar Alzer, who earned the save, shut down Dripping Springs offense to a pair of hits in the sixth and seventh frames. Despite the Tigers’ overall youth, Payne said the team is “going to come together.” The importance of upperclassmen stepping into leadership roles is also key. Continuing to have a “never-say-die” attitude was important for Johnson. “We know that we’re better than what we’ve shown the last two games,” he said. “There’s obviously a chance to make the playoffs, which is our real goal, but to win district, that’s what we really want to do.”
