Texas eliminates straight party voting BY MOSES LEOS III The days of Texas voters casting entire ballots along party lines will soon be coming to an end. In June, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law House Bill (HB) 25, which eliminates straight ticket voting in Texas starting with the 2020 election. Straight ticket voting allows a registered voter to select all candidates affiliated with the person’s political party of choice. According to a report in the Texas Tribune, roughly 64 percent of total votes in Texas’ 10 largest counties, including Travis, were cast using the straight-ticket system. Such a trend is apparent in Hays County, which in 2016 had the number of straight-ticket ballots rise by 51 percent from the last presidential election in 2012. During the 2016 general election, roughly 60 percent of the 73,588 ballots cast in Hays County were a straight ticket. Of that amount, 50 percent cast a Republican ballot, while another 46 percent cast a Democratic ballot. Bert Garza, Hays County Democratic Party Pct. 224 chairperson, said HB 25 has been a controversial issue for most Democrats, who believe eliminating straight ticket voting removes an option for voters on the ballot.

Hays County requests federal grant money for rifle-proof vests BY SAMANTHA SMITH
In response to attacks nationwide against law enforcement officers, Hays County early this month approved a $13,580 grant application for Hays County constables to purchase rifle resistant bulletproof vests. The grant, through the U.S. Department of Justice through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, requires applicants have a “mandatory wear” policy in effect to be eligible for the grant funds. Hays County had to submit its application for the grant before a Sept. 5 deadline. According to the Hays County Commissioners Court agenda, the grant money requested by Hays County Precinct 4 Constable Ron Hood and
“Each vest is currently priced at approximately $784 per vest.”
– Clint Garza, Hays County Development Services Director
sponsored by Commissioner Ray Whisenant is $13,580; Hays County’s portion is $532 Hood said the constables and their deputies are in law enforcement positions that do civil service for the courts, and currently, daily body armor isn’t equipped to withstand automatic rifle fire. The rifle resistant body armor would be used after a hostile situation has been confirmed, Hood said. Officers sent to answer the call would don the new rifle resistant vests before responding to a dangerous situation. Hays County Development
Services Director Clint Garza confirmed that the total projected cost of the vests between the grant and the county is $14,112. “Each vest is currently priced at approximately $784 per vest,” Garza said. Garza added that while the county plans to outfit all 26 Hays County Constables and their deputies with the new rifle resistant body armor, the grant funds would currently only cover the cost of the 18 specified on the agenda document. “If the per-unit cost changes, we’ll adjust the order to increase the purchase number,”
Garza said. Hood said in a later interview that the constables would forgo wearing the new vests, allowing their deputies, who are more active in the community and would most likely respond to a hostile situation, to wear the vests.. “The constables have decided to outfit their deputies first,” Hood said. “If the funding doesn’t cover all the cost then only the deputies will be outfitted.” Buda City Council approved a similar grant application for a grant through Texas Governor’s office for rifle resistant body armor for Buda Police officers. It is unknown at this time if JAG has awarded Hays County the grant funds for the new vests.
On Oct. 5, join the Dripping Springs Friends Foundation as it hosts its 24th annual BBQ fundraiser at Pecan Grove, formerly known as the Salt Lick Pavillion.

The fundraiser helps provide services to the community and seniors in the greater Dripping Springs area. All monies raised go to help support the Friends Foundation’s programs. Those include Our Daily Bread, which is a hot meal delivery program for the homebound, as well as Phillips Lifeline medic alert
devices. The fundraiser also assists low-income seniors with financial assistance, as well as fund special events at Hill Country Care and its residents. Find more information at thefriendsfoundation.org.

Hunting feral hogs in Texas is now a high-flying affair. Earlier this year, legislators passed House Bill (HB 3535), which allows for the hunt of feral hogs from hotair balloons. The bill, which was signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, officially went into effect Sept. 1. HB 3535 introduces a new measure for tackling the increasing feral hog population, which is estimated to be at 2.6 million. Feral hogs are considered a non native species and destructive to native habitats and plants. The economical damage caused by feral hogs is estimated at $52 million dollars per year, according to AgriLife Extension Wildlife & Fisheries. Feral hogs can also have the potential to “pollute and destabilize wetland areas, springs, creeks and tanks by excessive rooting and wallowing” according to a Texas A&M Plum Creek Watershed Project publication. Since the law has passed, no permits have been issued so far, said Steve Lightfoot, spokesperson for Texas Parks & Wildlife. In order to satisfy the requirements for a permit to hunt feral hogs via a balloon, a person must obtain a pilot’s license that’s administered by the Federal Aviation Administration

Kyle Mayor Todd Webster said he doesn’t recall any concerns or proposal being brought to city council regarding the new state law. However, Webster said Hays County does have a feral hog problem “like every other county in Texas.” Webster said he had a hard time imagining anyone floating across the sky with a gun in hand shooting at hogs from above. “It doesn’t seem very functional to me,” Webster
said. David Wilson, Kyle City Council member, District 4, who is also a deer hunter, said he understands the urgency in addressing the feral hog situation. “I see the damage that it’s done to stock tanks and to pastures. They compete with commercial cattle,” Wilson said. “Deer also compete, but they are gentle on the land. They eat the grass and it grow back; hogs eat roots and do economical damage.”
Feral Hogs
Continued from pg. 1 (FAA), which regulates hot air balloon travel. Hunters must also have a landowner’s agreement which gives permission to hunt on private property for wildlife management, along with a valid hunting license, Lightfoot said. Lynn Lunsford, a spokesperson for the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board, said the FAA doesn’t regulate hunting from a private aircraft. However, Lunsford said they do have regulations

that require operators to avoid “operating the aircraft in a way that could endanger people or property on the ground.” The FAA has not adopted any new regulatory measures for the operation of hot air balloons, even after the deadly July 2016 accident in Lockhart that killed 16 people. Lunsford said the NTSB’s investigation into that accident is ongoing. So how exactly is the new bill going over locally?
Straight-Ticket Voting Continued from pg. 1
“They feel that’s an option voters like and they should have that option available to them,” Garza said. One drawback to straight ticket voting is how it affects local candidates who may be non-partisan, Garza said. While straight ticket voting is convenient, it may also lead to voters ignoring many of the “down ballot” races and measures that affect cities and counties. In Texas, straight ticket voting only applies to partisan elections, but does not affect non-partisan initiatives such as school board, city council and charter amendment measures. Deborah Chavez, Hays County Democratic Party Pct. 228 chairperson, who spoke on her own behalf, said she has heard the argument the elimination of straight ticket voting would allow for people to make more informed decisions on election day. However, Chavez questioned whether there was evidence to support such a claim. “Where is the evidence that people who vote straight ticket are not well informed?” Chavez said. “That argument doesn’t stand up.” She also questioned the purpose of the law, which some have claimed
“One of our goals as a precinct chair is to increase participation and increase voter turnout ... If we’re successful, we’re going to have more people voting. If it takes longer for people to vote, it could discourage people.” – Deborah Chavez, Hays County Democratic Party Pct. 228 chairperson
could bring Texas in-line with other states that don’t allow straight ticket voting. Texas, along with Michigan, North Carolina and West Virginia, are the only states that allow straight ticket voting. Chavez cited an attempt by Michigan’s legislature to ban straight ticket voting was barred by a lower court. “In my view, it really has one consequence, to where each voter could spend more time in the voting booth, which means longer lines at the polls,” Chavez said. “The results from that could be lower voter turnout.” But she also believed legislators are “passing legislation to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.” Chavez said the new law could impact the minority, as well as the lower economic, population the most. She said they
could be impacted as the potential for longer lines at the voting booth could infringe on time at work or with their families. In Pct. 228, which had one of the highest rates of straight ticket voters, Chavez was concerned those residents could be impacted, especially if word about the new law doesn’t get out. “One of our goals as a precinct chair is to increase participation and increase voter turnout,” Chavez said. “If we’re successful, we’re going to have more people voting. If it takes longer for people to vote, it could discourage people.” The Hays Free Press reached out to Russell Hayter, Hays County Republican Party chairperson, for comment on this story. Hayter did not respond back prior to press time.

Birdwatching: A worthy goal I
BY JERRY HALL
am reading a book titled “Life List – a woman’s quest for the world’s most amazing birds.” It is about Phoebe Snetsinger, a Missouri housewife who became interested in bird watching at age 49 when she was diagnosed with cancer and was told she probably had a year to live. That diagnosis set her off on a quest to see all the birds she could in the time she had left on earth. As it turned out, the doctor was wrong and she had many years devoted to crisscrossing the globe finding rare and spectacular birds. She became the first person to record eight thousand species and she finally died in a traffic accident in Madagascar. Her final life total was a staggering 8,398 indi-
vidual birds. A number of these, including the Hawaiian crow and the poo-uli, have since gone extinct. According to the book, “When the bus crashed, Phoebe, binoculars in hand, was killed instantly. Undoubtedly, she was dreaming of the red-shouldered vanga or the hoped-for Appert’s greenbul. She went out, as she had always hoped for, at the top of her game, in the middle of doing what she most loved to do.” I am a big fan of Phoebe Snetsinger. I, too, have traveled the globe looking at birds, and while I am not a serious “lister”, I have enjoyed every single bird, from the tiny house sparrow on my back deck, to the long-tailed resplendent quetzal in Peru. I am sure Phoebe would agree – watching birds is both fun and fascinating.

Proposition Number 1 (HJR 21) HJR 21 proposes a constitutional amendment that would permit the Texas legislature to expand the circumstances under which a partially disabled veteran or their spouse may qualify for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of part of the market value of the veteran’s residence homestead. Currently, the Texas legislature may provide that a partially disabled veteran or their spouse is entitled to an exemption from ad valorem taxation of a percentage of the market value of the disabled veteran’s residence homestead only if the residence homestead was donated to the disabled veteran by a charitable organization at no cost to the veteran. The amendment would allow the Texas legislature to provide that the exemption also may be taken when the residence homestead was donated, sold, or transferred to the disabled veteran by a charitable organization for less than the market value of the residence homestead. The amendment also harmonizes certain related provisions of the Texas Constitution. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of part of the market value of the residence homestead of a partially disabled veteran or the surviving spouse of a partially disabled veteran if the residence homestead was donated to the disabled veteran by a charitable organization for less than the market value of the residence homestead and harmonizing certain related provisions of the Texas Constitution.” Proposition Number 2 (SJR 60) SJR 60 proposes a constitutional amendment to require that certain conditions be met for the refinancing of a home equity loan to be secured by a voluntary lien on a homestead. The amendment also would: redefine what is excluded in the calculation of the
Page 3
cap on fees associated with a home equity loan, lower the cap from 3% to 2% of the original principal amount of the extension of credit, and specify that such fees are in addition to any bona fide discount points used to buy down the interest rate. The amendment would further specify the list of authorized lenders to make home equity loans, change the threshold for an advance of a home equity line of credit, allow agricultural property owners to acquire home equity loans, and update technical terminology in the Texas Constitution. The amendment would be effective on January 1, 2018, and applicable only to a home equity loan made or refinanced on or after that date. The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment to establish a lower amount for expenses that can be charged to a borrower and removing certain financing expense limitations for a home equity loan, establishing certain authorized lenders to make a home equity loan, changing certain options for the refinancing of home equity loans, changing the threshold for an advance of a home equity line of credit, and allowing home equity loans on agricultural homesteads.” Proposition Number 3 (SJR 34) SJR 34 proposes a constitutional amendment that would prevent certain office holders from serving indefinitely beyond the expiration of their term. Office holders who are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate and receive no salary would only be able to serve until the last day of the first regular session of the Texas legislature that begins after their term expires. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment limiting the service of certain officeholders appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate after the expiration of the person’s term of office.” Proposition Number 4 (SJR 6) SJR 6 proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the Texas legislature to require any

Currently, the Texas Constitution requires the Texas legislature to pass laws prohibiting lotteries, raffles, and other programs where the award of gifts is based on luck or chance. The proposed amendment would make an exception to this general rule to allow the Texas legislature to authorize credit unions and other financial institutions to institute programs which, in order to encourage savings, would award prizes based on luck or chance to the credit union’s or financial institution’s customers. The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment relating to legislative authority to permit credit unions and other financial institutions to award prizes by lot to promote savings.” Published by Texas Secretary of State Rolando B.

Proposition Number 5 (HJR 100) HJR 100 proposes a constitutional amendment to provide a more detailed definition of “professional sports team” for purposes of their charitable foundations, which the Texas legislature may permit to hold charitable raffles.

Texans bombard Badgers for 52-17 victory STAFF REPORT An unrelenting aerial assault ushered the Wimberley Texans to a lopsided 52-17 win over the Lampasas Badgers Friday at Texan Stadium.
Wimberley (3-0) surged out to a 21-3 first quarter lead, which quickly expanded to 38-3 at halftime. The scoring barrage was highlighted by a first quarter 79yard touchdown from quarterback JoJo Weeks
to wide receiver Gavin Martinez, which was later followed by a second quarter 72-yard strike to wide receiver Hayden Krebs. Weeks went 19 of 29 for 358 yards and four touchdowns through the
air. Three Texan wide receivers finished with 90 or more receiving yards in the game. Wide receiver Cade Stoever caught eight passes for 141 yards and one touchdown, and Gavin Martinez caught five
passes for 123 yards and two scores. Lampasas responded with touchdowns in the third and fourth frame. Texan running back Thomas Carruthers added a 58-yard touchdown run in the
Tiger grab spoils Hays’ homecoming BY SHANE SCHOLWINSKI
A game-winning interception in the end zone by senior Ryland Kinard allowed the Dripping Springs Tigers to escape with a 21-17 win over Hays High Friday, spoiling the Rebels’ homecoming. The defensive slugfest between the two teams ultimately came down to the final drive of the game as Hays junior quarterback Xavier Martinez led the offense down the field to the Tigers 6-yard line. With only 22 seconds left in the game, Martinez was intercepted in the end zone by Kinard. “I just saw that he under threw it so I knew that I had to make a play,” Kinard said of the game winning interception. “We just knew that we had to keep them off the scoreboard to stay in the game.” The Rebels opened the game with an 11 play, 75-yard drive, which was capped off by seven yard rushing touchdown from Martinez. Although Hays had early success in the run game, a stingy Tiger defense didn’t allow another rushing score. Martinez led Hays in rushing with 92 yards on 15 carries and 1 touchdown, while junior running back Thailand Mayberry contributed 14 carries for 57 yards. Hays head coach Neal LaHue praised the way his defense played against the Tigers, which returned multiple players from last season’s deep playoff run. “We still have tendencies to give up some big plays,” said LaHue. “But,

compared to last week, I thought they did a hell of a job, they kept us in the game.” After a Rebel 26-yard field goal in the second quarter, Dripping Springs gained some momentum as junior running back Jake Cox rushed for a 1-yard touchdown right before halftime to push the score to 10-7. Cox finished the game with 82 yards rushing on 15 carries. “Our offensive line was doing a good job,”
Tigers head coach Galen Zimmerman said. “They weren’t going to give us anything big, luckily we had kids make a couple plays. The only points scored in the third quarter came from Tigers senior quarterback Trevor Greenman on a 1-yard keeper for a touchdown. Hays responded with a touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Martinez to junior tight end Baylor Jordan.
Jordan finished the game with 4 catches for 69 yards, which was all gathered in the second half. Greenman then connected with junior wide receiver Parker Alford on a 50-yard reception for a touchdown to put Dripping Springs up 2117 with just under four minutes left in the game. “I saw Parker Alford going down the sidelines and I just threw it up and gave him a chance to catch it and score,” said

Greenman. “It was great to see him catch that.” Greenman finished the game 13 of 25 for 209 yards passing and two total touchdowns. Alford added 6 catches for 69 yards and one touchdown for Dripping Springs. Martinez drove the Rebels down the field 76 yards to the Tiger 6-yard line to put themselves within scoring distance with only 22 seconds left to play. Kinard then forced the second interception of the game and sealed the win to keep Dripping Springs undefeated on the season. “We needed to handle adversity and see what that’s like and see if our kids respond,” Zimmerman said. “It’s always positive when you can be tested and come out with a W.” Although Martinez’s late game mistake cost Hays the win, LaHue was impressed by how his quarterback played. Martinez finished the game with two total touchdowns, and was 18 of 21 for 225 yards passing with two interceptions. “I thought he (Martinez) played a great game,” LaHue said. “He made a mistake there on the throw late. But that happens, it’s football.” Hays looks to bounce back with a win Friday against the San Antonio Reagan Rattlers (2-1). Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Northeast ISD stadium in San Antonio. Drippings Springs will vie to remain unbeaten when it hosts the Kerrville Tivy Antlers (2-1) Friday at Tigers Stadium at 7:30 p.m.

Pioneer Day will be held Saturday, Sept. 23 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission is $7.50 for adults, $5.00 for veterans and seniors, and free for children four years old and under. Price of admission includes crafts made by the participants and a free ride on a horse drawn wagon.
Descendants of Confederate Veterans will hold four demonstrations throughout the day. Dr. Joseph Pound, who long ago owned the farmstead, was a Mexican-American war veteran and a Confederate Army veteran, according to primary letters in the historical portal of Texas History managed by the University of North Texas Libraries. Lauren Neugebauer, chair of the collections committee and self taught preservationist, said slaves owned by Pound and his wife’s family, who were from Mississippi, constructed
15 years since the last renovation and we have already had to replace the roof,” Neugebauer said. In order to maintain the house to its original construction, the same techniques and materials used to build the house are used in the maintenance. In some cases, that means more frequent repair. She hopes in the future they will have the funds to build a temperature controlled space for the more than 8,000 artifacts to be safely displayed. “On the back of our minds, we hope one day to (build) a visitor center so that it feels more like a real museum,” Chaffin said.

the first log cabin completed in 1865. Pound and his family, who were very active in the emerging community, are recognized as one of the founding families of Dripping Springs. The farmstead, which is recognized as a national and state landmark, sits on five acres of land and includes the house, a barn, windmill, cistern, smokehouse and cold frame, which is similar to a greenhouse. In a documentary linked on the farmstead’s website, Marjorie Owens, Pound’s great-granddaughter, said the farmstead held the first school and church services in the area. Descendants of the Pounds have resided on the farmstead up until 1983, while still solely using the outhouse and only adding the innovation of electricity to the property. The 152-year-old house and neighboring buildings are always in need of upkeep and Pioneer Day also serves as a fundraiser for those efforts. “It has only been

lacksmithing, broom making, soap making, corn shelling and candle making are just some of the actives on hand at the 27th annual Pioneer Day at Dr. Pounds Farmstead in Dripping Springs. Hosted on a farmstead more than 100 years old, Lisa Chaffin, Pioneer Day event chair, said this event is the best format to see history come to life. An estimated 40 demonstrators and vendors will be sharing their respective skills, such as quiltmaking and selling their wares. “What makes me smile, what tickles me, is watching someone discover what they (visitors) didn’t know before,” she said. It was the blacksmithing Chaffin found most captivating when she attended her first Pioneer Day with her two sons. The trio was so in awe of the blacksmith striking down his hammer onto the metal, they were invited, and accepted, to try it out themselves. For Caffin, an accountant, volunteering on the farmstead provides a creative outlet. Over the summer, she’s involved in children’s programs, which work with kids in exploring history through hands on “make and take crafts.” Traditional methods are used to create the crafts, Chaffin said. However, she hopes younger generations will gain interest through attending the event. The Buggy Barn Museum, based in Blanco, will be at the event displaying buggies and horse drawn carriages from the era. A wet plate photographer, a sketch calligrapher, leather craftsman, a display of Model T cars, Hill Milk and Honey Farmstead, and Cowboy Church of Hill Country are just some of the organizations that will be participating.
