SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2016
15 years later A new tower now dominates the New York City skyline, a defiant symbol that Americans can be knocked down but always get back up. Memorials honor the dead in NY, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. Like the nation as a whole, New Braunfels today will reflect on and remember the events of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001.

Local emergency workers remember tension on 9/11 By Dalondo Moultrie The Herald-Zeitung
Most anyone you ask of a certain age knows where he or she was the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when jetliners crashed into buildings and a field, bringing down structures of stone and steel and shaking the American way of life as we knew it. Though they weren’t in New York City; Washington, D.C.; or Shanksville, Pa., when the images of burning images of the terrorist attacks were broadcast worldwide, some locals still remember the pictures that were seared into their consciousnesses, and they say those mental images likely will last forever. In the latter part of 2001, Darren
While we were responding, my captain was talking to us. If this is what it is, we need to be careful of secondary devices. We were on heightened alert. It turned out to be not much of anything. It was not even a fire but we had a full response rolling.”

Church leaders respond to 9/11 anniversary By Molly Block
Today, on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, many church leaders in New Braunfels are calling the community to action. For Brad McLean, the pastor at First Baptist Church of New Braunfels, the memories of that day are still fresh in his mind, even after 15 years. McLean was 30 years old in 2001, and was serving a church in Oklahoma. “I just remember that the school met in the church building, and people were talking about something bad that had happened in New York City,” McLean said. “I remember going home and watching what was happening on the TV. I was trying to process what was taking place, and wondering how this was going to impact our nation. I was in front of the TV when the second plane hit the tower, and I was honestly in disbelief. I remember thinking, ‘Things are about to change in this country.’” While watching the act of terrorism unfold in NYC, the young church pastor was in shock. He wondered to himself, “What will tomorrow look like?” McLean understood he

didn’t have the answers to that question, and in fact — no one did on that fateful day. In the midst of unimaginable grief, confusion and fear, McLean turned to the Bible for answers. “I was still a pretty young pastor at the time, but I knew I had to address what had happened in our nation on Sunday,” McLean said. “I knew of nothing specific to say, but I tried to direct the fears of the nation into confidence in the Lord. The ramifications of the event were difficult to grasp and understand — both spiritually and emotionally. Even though I felt pretty ill-equipped to speak of the ramifications, I knew the best thing for me to do was to turn to God’s word and let God speak to it.” In the initial weeks and months following the national tragedy, McLean saw a burst of nationalism and pride in the U.S. The overall message throughout the country seemed to be, “We must defend our nation.”
Got Bulky Trash?
“All of that was really good, but obviously, 15 years later, the support for our nation has faded somewhat,” he said. “I believe a social change has taken place that has distracted our nation from what is most important. If people really want the U.S. to be great again, we must turn back to the Lord — because what we value and think is great is rarely what God deems great.” Along with McLean, Brett Becker, the senior pastor of Quest Church in New Braunfels, believes the one thing the community can do to improve the city — and our nation — is actively pray with a grateful heart. “We remember with gratitude the many soldiers who have fought and are fighting in America’s longest war — the War on Terror,” Becker said. “Many soldiers have been wounded and many others have given their lives to keep us safe, and we honor the sacrifices of all who have served in our Armed Forces

and their families.” Becker said there are three things people can do today, on the anniversary of 9/11. “In light of this, what can each of us do? We can first pray for the safety and welfare of our soldiers and first responders,” He said. “Second, we can engage in activities that will build up our communities and our nation, including voting in elections. Third, we can promote the spirit of unity that was present in the aftermath of 9/11. There is more that unites us as Americans than that which divides us, and we don’t have to see eye-to-eye on every issue in order to walk side-by-side to build a better future for our communities and our nation.” Karen Tudor, pastor at Unity Church New Braunfels, believes that change will happen in the U.S. once hearts are changed. “This anniversary is the right time for us to come back together,” Tudor said. “We need to come together to create a future with hope and peace in it. May everyone be mindful on Sunday that peace starts in our own hearts.”
I knew of nothing specific to say, but I tried to direct the fears of the nation into confidence in the Lord.

Groups still helping survivors of 9/11 attacks Staff Reports
Fully 15 years after the attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. that changed our country — and our very lives — forever, thousands of widows, survivors, their families and their children still feel the financial bite of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001. CNNMoney reported the attacks inspired Americans to donate billions to families who lost loved ones during the attacks or in the forced crash of Flight 93, which was headed for the federal capitol when passengers overran the cockpit, crashing the plane in Pennsylvania. The IRS recognized 300 9/11-related charity non-profits in the immediate aftermath, but that number has dwindled. Within five years, at least a third of them had closed. Over the years the help has leveled off, although the financial need has not. And now, we’re finding heightened rates of catastrophic illness and mortality among the first re-
sponders at Ground Zero as well as the thousands of workers who helped clean up the site. Here are a few of the non-profit opportunities for those who can help the families of the victims, first responders and workers who cleaned up the site of the worst terrorist attack in our history. A look at Charity Navigator, a clearing house of opportunities to donate, shows fully 729 non-profits related to 9/11. It rates charities on scale of 0-100 or 1-4 stars. What follows is a list of a few of those as well as some found elsewhere on the Internet. • Tuesday’s Children provides long-term support to families of the victims of the 9/11 and other terrorist attacks worldwide. It has a Charity Navigator rating of 88/100. International Business Times reports it is one of the most successful 9/11 charities still operating 15 years later. • The Wounded Warrior Project is one of the bestknown post-9/11 veterans
groups, supporting service members who were injured after the attacks. Its mission is “to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women and has an 84/100 score on Charity Navigator. www.woundedwarriorproject.org • The FealGood Foundation was founded by John Feal, a U.S. Army vet who lost part of his foot when a steel beam fell and crushed it during the recovery effort. Feal founded this organization after being denied federal benefits for his injuries and seeing the same thing happen to many others. http://fealgoodfoundation.com/ • The Michael Lynch Memorial Foundation was established in memory of FDNY firefighter Michael Lynch, who was killed responding to the attacks when the World Trade Center collapsed. The foundation provides educational grants to the children of firefighters and other victims of the 9/11 attacks. As of 2013, Inter-
national Business Times reported the foundation had awarded scholarships worth more than $3.5 million. http://www.mlynch. org • Beyond the 11th was founded by two women who lost husbands on 9/11. It offers financial and emotional support to widows who have been affected by the horrors of war or terror. www.beyondthe11th. org • VOICES of September 11 commemorates the essence of 9/11 and helps families heal after tragedy while helping communities prepare for respond to and recover from other acts of mass violence or
disaster. http://voicesofsept11.org • Massachusetts 9/11 Fund provides “efficient and compassionate assistance and relief” to state residents who were directly impacted by the 9/11 attacks. It also coordinates legal assistance, financial advice and counseling. http://www.massfund.org • New York Says Thank You Foundation was founded at the urging of a 5-year-old boy and seeks to galvanize 9/11 responders, survivors and victims’ families by completing service projects throughout the country. It boasts
Did you know? n 20 percent of Americans knew someone hurt or killed on 9/11. n Around 36,000 units of blood were donated to the New York Blood Center, but only 258 were used. n The IRS fast-tracked the approval of 300 new 9/11-related charities. By 2006, one-third couldn’t be located and 38 had closed. n The fires burned for almost 100 days after the attack. n Around 1,300 corporations and foundations made 9/11-related donations accounting for nearly 40 percent of all donations. n 2,992 people died in the attacks.

OPINION
Marking 9/11 is a sign of deference and defiance
There are days which resonate — that have continued meaning on the American landscape even as the decades swirl past. Dec. 7, 1941. Nov. 22, 1963. Jan. 28, 1986. On that Tuesday morning, 15 years ago, Sept. 11, 2001, joined that list of days that will remain vividly in the memories of anyone who was alive at the time — and in the history books for all those who follow after. Some say why dwell on that day? It’s the past. We should be looking forward. We would argue its to pay tribute to those men and women who gave their lives in selfless service on that day — first responders, and every day heroes who rushed in when others rushed out. Those who stopped to help others, risking their lives in the process, simply because it was the right thing to do — the human thing to do. We would argue that the war that began that day isn’t over. Osama bin Laden is dead, and the Al Qaeda network he oversaw that launched the deadly attacks has been weakened, but ISIS peddles the same deadly ideology, the same hatred and the same goals. We would argue that the old adage of those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it is a very real threat — and the cost of such an error would be too high to ask our nation to pay. We would argue that marking the anniversary of the events of that awful day isn’t just a chance to remember those who died because they were in the wrong place or at the wrong time, to honor those who lost their lives trying to save others or to salute those who served in this nation’s armed forces in the War on Terror that started in its aftermath. It’s also a way to send a signal to those who would threaten the United States that we can’t be broken. A new tower stretching heavenward in New York City is evidence of that. And Americans don’t forget. Let today’s paper stand as evidence of that.

Remembering 9/11 Becky Voges: The one thing that I remember is how we all came together. We were united in love and compassion for people we did not know. I wanted to gather my family around me and protect them. The heroic stories we heard renewed my faith in mankind. We were all reminded once again of what really matters. United We Stand--Divided We Fall! Giovanna Viktoria: I was 4 years old. I remember my grandmother coming into the room where my mom and I were sleeping and she said “Sandy (my mom) we are under attack, New York’s been hit” and turned on the TV. I sat there in my pajamas watching the tower burn. I saw the plane hit the second tower. I didn’t understand why or what was happening, but my mom started to cry, and so did I. Jason N Jayna Gibbs: I’m from Massachusetts and as soon as I started watching the coverage, all I could think was that I had been in NYC August 11th, exactly one month before. We didn’t go up into the World Trade Center during the visit because it was cloudy and they were literally in the clouds and we wouldn’t be able to see the view. Kay Holt: Shocked while getting ready for work as I watched the first plane hit. Fearful as I tried to maintain normalcy throughout the day. I tried to understand the vast outcome that our nation would endure. Attending the NBHS gathering after, all I could do is cry as I watched the ROTC youth pass by and pray for their safety. Our safety. I often wonder where they are today. Bill Raissle: I was on an American Airlines flight out of Dallas about half way to Baltimore. The pilot started making a slow U-Turn and I thought “there are no U-turns between Dallas and Baltimore”. I thought it might have been mechanical. The pilot announced that we were heading back to Dallas and it was something about a horrific plane crash on the east coast. I assumed something must have happened at BWI. Called my wife to assure her that we were OK and she filled me in on what was happening. Everyone on the plane was starting to look at everyone else on the plane very carefully. My wife told me the Twin Towers were hit. Not knowing anything about NYC, I assumed she was talking about David Robinson and Tim Duncan. Made no sense. It all came clear as my trip and the day unfolded. Jeffrey John: I was patrolling Kosovo when we returned to a blacked out remote camp. Told to “pack it up, we’re out.” No clue why, we just got there. Helo’d back to Camp Bondsteel where 300 U.S. Marines crowded around one 25 inch TV, watching a repeat of the plane crash, over and over again, whipping the Marines into a pissed off kinda mood you only have nightmares about. Went to war four months later. Payback is sweet, but the fight will never end. Kelly Boyer Holder: As the 911 Supervisor at NBPD, I was at work. In the 911 Center we had the TV on Fox News and watched as that first plane hit the first tower. We were all dumbfounded, but since we worked with emergency situations all the time, we figured it was just a horrific accident, until the second plane struck the second tower. Right then we all knew we were under attack, and as the day progressed, and we watched the events unfold throughout the
day, we all knew that our lives, our duties and responsibilities in law enforcement, and our perspective on the world and our security, had changed forever that day. It was a day, and event, that I will NEVER forget. Jamey Mendez: I was a nursing student at a clinical site. I was in one of the residents rooms and I was changing the linens on her bed while she listened to German polka songs on the TV. The show was interrupted buy the breaking news and she asked me if I changed the channel. She loved her polka music. At first we thought it was some action movie, but it we quickly realized it wasn’t and we both began to watch in horror. I’ll never forget that day and all the emotions my nursing friends and I felt. Some were angry and confused while others we scared and anxious to get home to their loved ones. Tricia Hartnett Mathis: I was working the floor 12hr shift at a hospital in downtown San Antonio, someone from the office across the street called the nurses station and told us to turn on the news.. Couldn’t watch too long because we had patients to take care of. I remember looking at my good friend Gwen and telling her I loved her and we both turned and walked the opposite direction down the hall. When the second tower fell I was in a patient’s room and looked over at the elderly gentleman and he had tears rolling town is face. The rest of the day was blur. I slept with the light on that night because I was afraid. Ricky Reynolds: I was in attending college at Sam Houston State University. I was sitting in my 8 a.m. Criminal Law class when it happened. This was before the age of smartphones, and the professor had strong “no cell phone policy” so we were all oblivious to what happened. I walked outside my class and the halls were empty. I walked through campus to my car and through the usual packed computer lab, and no one was around. Once I got to my car, I turned on the radio, and no music played on any station, and was all talk. Once I listened to what happened I was stunned and went straight home. Never will forget that sad feeling I had for all the folks in New York. Lisa Heltzel Gavitt: The night before, we were finishing our plans to visit family in upstate NY the next week. By morning, we knew that trip wasn’t gonna happen. We couldn’t take our eyes off the TV. We went to the flea market that weekend. It was packed with people, but so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Amy Luna Margraves: I was pregnant and had a toddler at home. The TV was on Dora the explorer and someone had to call me to tell me what happened. I turn the TV on in my bedroom to see what was unfolding before my eyes. In disbelief. Unable to help from Paris, TX. My over whelming feeling to hold my family came over me. Katina Kat Berry Garza: I worked for Southwest Airlines. I heard the news coming in to work that morning. When I arrived I stood in the break room watching the second tower fall in disbelief. I was told to go home and come back to work the closing shift. I prepared myself for complete chaos when I arrived for the closing shift, but the airport was completely vacant and eerie. It was a very somber day. Then the military was stationed in the airport and it was very surreal to me, I did however meet my future husband in that group of military men sent
We asked readers on our Facebook page to share their memories of Sept. 11, 2001. Here are some of the best. there to protect us. Susan Nice: I was in my car and listening to NPR, on my way to pick up the dry cleaning for my then fiance. Our wedding was planned for September 15th. We both were in shock about the event, horrified about the atrocities ... and we felt guilty because we were also concerned about if we would still be able to proceed with our planned wedding and honeymoon. Aliene Maggie Theis: I was in my classroom in the small town of Falls City. I had a classroom full of 8th grade boys. Another teacher came into my classroom and told me that America was under attack. I had a small TV in my car which was going to go in my kitchen at home. I got it out of my car and put foil on the antenna just in time to see the second plane hit..so sad. David Gartman: I was the Support services Lieutenant for the Hobbs NM Police Department at that time. I was getting ready to go to work and had the television on watching the news. I vividly remember the first plane striking the tower and my first thought was what a horrible accident and how could a pilot have hit the tower with a commercial airplane. When the second plane hit the second tower, I knew then what had happened. The police department staff gathered and immediately started making contingency plans, for what we weren’t really sure. We knew we had several large gas refineries in our area and Air Force bases in Clovis and Alamogordo. We spent the next 48 hours trying to prepare. It was after this that the anger, dismay and disbelief hit us as a group. That day changed law enforcement forever. Betty Malarick Jackson: I was in Houston in a hotel waiting for my trade show shift to start and watching the Today Show. I saw the second plane hit and there was knock on the door. A housekeeper asked if she could watch with me and we stood there and cried in fear and disbelief. Lauren Smith: I was a sophomore in high school. I remember sitting in English class that morning watching the horrific, surreal images appear on the TV screen. Nothing made sense, and no one truly understood what was happening. We all just stumbled around campus in a daze, wondering if we should go home or stay at school. We lived near DFW international airport at the time, and it was so eerie to look up at an empty, silent sky (all airplanes were grounded within hours of the attack). Our world changed forever after that day. This is the first year that my students, who were born in 2002, will consider 9/11 an historic event. I pray that they will never forget. God bless America. Linda Wilson: For our last stop on a 3-week trip, we were in Barcelona, Spain, on 9/11. We were at the Olympic Stadium when we heard about the first plane. We learned the full extent of the attack when we arrived at our hotel and saw CNN coverage in Spanish. Although 9/11 is a regional (Catalonian) holiday there, all celebrations were cancelled. Both Spanish and Catalonian flags were at half staff. I still get chills thinking of the support we were given by numerous Europeans, especially since we were stuck there for a week.

New York City reflections on that Tuesday morning 15 years ago Even in the face of change after the terror attacks, New Yorkers remain bold, resilient By Laura McKenzie The Herald-Zeitung

On Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, I was a 20-year-old college student who had just started my junior year of art school in New York City. I was listening to the radio as I got ready for class when I first heard that two planes had crashed into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. My roommate Melanie and I immediately went to the rooftop of our apartment building on 20th Street where we had a clear view of the towers burning 2.5 miles away. We were joined there by other residents, many of them crying or watching in shock.
Candles, flowers and messages are left at Union Square as New Yorkers react to the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
Some memories are vivid. I remember seeing the South Tower collapse into a cloud of dust and debris and 30 minutes later, the North Tower followed. I remem-
ber vigils at Union Square and missing person fliers plastered on phone booths. I remember families holding out hope for good news that never came at the 69th
Regiment Armory, five blocks from where I lived. I remember crowds of people on Park Avenue stopping to applaud as a fire engine passed by. I never went to the World Trade Center before 9/11, but I saw the towers everyday. When emerging from an underground subway in an unfamiliar part of the city, I would look for the towers and immediately know which direction was south. That point of reference was gone. Life felt divided into two chapters: before Sept. 11 and after. The events of that day was all anyone was See NYC, page 6A

VOICES Bill Hammond saying goodbye to business association THE FIRST AMENDMENT Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Bill Hammond is hanging up his leadership shoes as chief executive officer of the Texas Association of Business and Chambers of Commerce at the end of the year. It’s been a long and thoughtful 19-year run. Hammond, who owned the Dallas Tent and Awning Co., spent eight years in the Texas House of Representatives (1983-91). He was best remembered from that time for carrying the Sunset bill for the Texas Education Agency. He irked teachers in the process. One of his comments for improving the teacher corps was, “The first name of every geography teacher in Texas is ‘Coach.’” The TEA Sunset bill effort helped earn him a slot on Texas Monthly’s list of Ten Best legislators for that legislative session. Before going to work for TAB, Hammond was appointed by Gov. George W. Bush in 1995 to chair the Texas Workforce Commission. In that job, as the employer representative, Hammond was aggressive in pushing a welfare-towork agenda – sometimes, critics thought, with too much aggressiveness. Hammond left the Workforce Commission post for the TAB job in 1998. A true business-oriented conservative, Hammond refused, as the Tea Party influence grew in the Repub-

lican party in the Legislature, to have TAB dragged into ideological battles over social policy. When the evangelical far right was pushing a constitutional amendment in the name of religious freedom, to discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, Hammond spoke at a joint press conference in 2015 with Democrats and representatives of civil rights groups opposing the effort. Hammond and others in the business community were well aware of the backlash in states like North Carolina and Indiana, that had adopted such an approach — only to see businesses, other organizations, and others cancel conventions and drop expansion plans. That included the National Basketball Association’s decision to drop Charlotte, NC, as the venue for its All-Star game next year. The TAB also urged Texas to accept Medicaid expansion, almost completely at federal expense, as good
for business and the health and job situations for Texans. The Texas Medical Association and Texas Hospital Association also backed that position. But Gov. Rick Perry and successor Greg Abbott, who have spent a lot of time campaigning against the federal government since Democrat Barack Obama became president, both turned thumbs down on accepting the Medicaid expansion. While Texans don’t get the benefit of their federal tax expenditures, local taxpayers and people with insurance in cities like Dallas and Houston continue to pay for care of indigents at their hospitals. “It’s our money that we’re sending to Washington, D.C., and we aren’t

getting it back,” Hammond pointed out. “We pay for it with corporate income taxes, we pay for it with our personal income tax and we pay for it in the fact that our premiums are higher than they would be if everyone was insured.” Hammond’s enthusiastic interest in education has been a continuing influence on his tenure with the business association. TAB has endorsed, and pushed, expanding pre-kindergarten to full day for all students who already qualify for half-day Pre-K. The organization also has been a continuing force in seeking to expand and educate the Texas workforce. It has endorsed and encouraged alternative pathways to get a college degree for non-traditional, older
students, through on-line courses and other means. While standing up for several things as important to the state, and to business, one area in which Hammond could be taken to task is not endorsing enough tax money to sufficiently fund some of his goals, like improving education. But his overall record has helped the business community maintain a strong presence in Texas public affairs. Hammond says he will open a media and lobby operation, and will continue to represent the business-oriented values he holds dear. Stayin’ Alive -- Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, seeking to capitalize on the progressive movement he helped develop while running for president, is trying

to share it with others. He hopes to help Democratic progressives raise money in hopes Democrats can reach the four votes they need to regain control of the Senate. If they do, and Hillary Clinton and Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine win the White House, that would make Vice-President Kaine, as presiding officer of the Senate, the tie-breaking vote for control. Sanders is trying to raise money for Katie McGinty in Pennsylvania, Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire, Ted Strickland in Ohio, and Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada. Sanders is asking his supporters to support the four progressives, by sending in $2.70. The proceeds will be split among them.

15 years later: My memories of September 11, 2001 It’s been a decade and a half, but I remember it like it was yesterday. On an early September day, I had my windows down as I was driving to my congressional office at the Capitol complex. My route took me past the Pentagon, and I can still hear and see it vividly — there was a loud sound and then when I looked to the right, I saw smoke coming from the side of the Pentagon building, the epicenter of our country’s national defense. The color of the smoke alarmed me — it was dark as if something chemical was burning. This was no controlled

brush fire — something serious had happened. At the entrance to the Rayburn House Office Building garage, I was stopped by police and told
that a plane had just hit the Pentagon. I had been an eyewitness to what we would soon learn was part of a group of attacks that will never be forgotten. The Capitol complex was on lockdown and staff were told to evacuate the area, but I went to my office and remained there throughout the day since the streets were closed to traffic. I took in the news of the developments on the tragedy, including how brave passengers on Flight 93 took on their plane’s hijackers and made the ultimate sacrifice in bringing down the plane in rural Pennsylvania. The plane
was believed to have been headed for the Capitol or the White House. As a result of the attacks that day, the House of Representatives’ newest Committee was formed, The Homeland Security Committee. I asked to be a member and was appointed to the Committee. We coordinate with the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and CIA, who all employ highly trained professionals to stop terrorists from applying their trade. On the committee we strive to shield the homeland from international and domestic threats,
secure our borders and thwart cyber attacks. The Homeland Security Committee continues its efforts to protect the homeland and Americans so nothing like 9/11 can happen again. But the threat remains. I consider the world to be more dangerous than ever because of the Obama Administration’s policies, which include funding Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism. In addition, ISIS, al Qaeda, and other Islamist extremists have built a global network they can leverage to direct and inspire terrorist attacks.
The Washington Post reported in June that the Obama Administration has determined that at least a dozen former Guantanamo detainees have conducted deadly attacks on American and allied forces in Afghanistan following their release. Refugees coming from the Middle East remain largely unvetted for being potential threats. In contrast to Mr. Obama’s policies, we must fight back against terrorism so that Americans remain safe. The U.S. must use every possible means we have to defeat extremists.
NYC Continued from page 4A talking about. How could this have happened? Who had done this and why? Lower Manhattan had been evacuated, but that didn’t stop a few curious classmates I knew from sneaking downtown, or so they claimed. It was days later before I felt comfortable taking photos of the response around my neighborhood. It took years for me to fully grasp the gravity of what I witnessed. This summer I visited the National September 11 Memorial for the first time. Unlike most New York landmarks, there is no official entrance or security line to enter the memorial plaza. It’s an open space, free for all. In the footprints of where the towers once stood are two pools of cascading water surrounded by bronze panels with the names of those who lost their lives inscribed. There are also trees at the site and Photos by LAURA McKENZIE | Herald-Zeitung if you look closely, you’ll A white rose is placed beside a name inscribed in the notice one is different from the others.

Tree, which was originally planted when the towers were built in the 1970s, was discovered under the rubble at Ground Zero with damaged roots and branches, but it showed signs of new growth. It was saved from the site and replanted at the memorial in 2010 as a symbol of hope and survival.
Reflecting on Sept. 11th 15 years later, it’s clear New Yorkers are more aware of their surroundings today. There are signs on subways reminding riders “If you see something, say something.” Ferries carrying passengers between Manhattan and Staten Island are escorted by Coast Guard gunboats. Bags are
searched at museums and Broadway shows. But in important ways, things have stayed the same. The city is still bustling with energy and possibility. New Yorkers remain a vastly diverse group of people who are tough, bold and resilient. The skyline has changed, but the character of the city remains intact.

PENTAGON Continued from page 1A up a slope from the Pentagon, which could be clearly seen from his vantage point. Bounds was in customer support and the morning of the attacks, he was working on a customer’s computer on the sixth or top floor of the OPM building. The televisions in the building were on and employees were following the attacks on the World Trade Center, but much of the news was still confused. “The news reports were all wacky that day,” Bounds recalled. “We had televisions in the building and because of the twin towers, we had the televisions on.” Then, an airliner rattled the building as it flew in low overhead, wings canted to a 45-degree angle. That was particularly troubling because the airspace in Washington, DC is restricted and there should have been no plane flying in the area — and particularly flying so low. “A whole bunch of thoughts go through your head — was this a pilot who was afraid and was flying low trying to get out of the way? When it circled low to try to get to the Pentagon, you just knew something was going on. Planes weren’t allowed to fly low in Washington,” Bounds said. He watched as the plane swerved in the general direction of the White House and continued on its axis, following the slope, down toward the Pentagon. It flipped up on its side, sheared some wires and came down in front of a section of the Pentagon, with the wing that was pointing downward clipping the ground and shearing off. The plane’s momentum drove its fuselage into the building like a missile. “It exploded into flames — it was quite a fireball,” Bounds recalled.
Early press reports said a helicopter had crashed on the Pentagon grounds, but Bounds knew better. “It was a clear day, and you could clearly see it,” Bounds said. “It swerved around the building, then came back around and you could see it going down, down, down, toward the Pentagon.” Bounds wanted to help at the scene, but there was no way to go there and besides, he had 100 employees he was responsible for. “I had employees I had to take care of because I was branch chief,” Bounds recalled. “I wanted to run over there and help someone, but you can’t. I had to look after my employees. It was the worst feeling — a feeling of being close, yet able to do nothing.” The basement of the OPM has thick walls and was reportedly able to survive a nuclear attack — a claim Bounds himself would never want to put to the test. He evacuated his employees to the basement, where they hunkered down until Homeland Security decided to evacuate Washington. Then, they became part of the gridlock that decision created. But not Bounds. He stayed in OPM, watched the news unfold on television and tried, unsuccessfully, to call his wife and let her know he was OK. At 2 p.m., Bounds walked out to the Metro station and was confronted by police who asked why he hadn’t left with others. “I said, ‘Did you see that crowd?’ I didn’t want to get into that crowd,” Bounds said. The entire experience created a bad feeling. “Not only was it a bad feeling that I couldn’t help, but I knew I couldn’t do anything about it,” Bounds explained. “It was the worst feeling. I knew America would never be the same again. The world is a very different place.”
REMEMBER Continued from page 1A Station No. 1 downtown that morning “when things started going wrong.” “We really couldn’t believe it was happening with the first plane and then the second one we knew something was up. There was a problem,” Brinkkoeter said. He said, as everyone now knows, next followed the crash of a jetliner into one side of the Pentagon, and later, after passengers fought back, desperate hijackers plowed a fourth passenger plane into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The crashes, while all more than 1,500 miles away, reverberated back here in New Braunfels. Brinkkoeter said NBFD was on high alert. Firefighters here were concerned about the well being of their comrades rushing into danger in the northeast, but knew their immediate duties were to keep New Braunfels safe. He said local crews began securing buildings in town and keeping out a watchful eye for any possible attacks close to home. Everyone’s nerves were on edge. “We had an emergency call of a house explosion. We were thinking the worst but it didn’t turn out to be that,” Brinkkoeter said. “While we were responding, my captain was talking to us. If this is what it is, we need to be careful of secondary devices. We were on heightened alert. It turned out to be not much of anything. It was not even a fire but we had a full response rolling.” The heightened tensions spread across the nation, as well as other parts of New Braunfels. Other emergency responders here felt blindsided by the attacks but knew they needed to remain calm. Kelly Holder was a 911 supervisor at the New Braunfels Police Department, where she retired in

Firefighter Brad Bendele, left, and Battalion Chief Darren Brinkkoeter train Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016 for Sunday’s climb of the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio.
2007 after working there about 16 years and in law enforcement for about 26 years. She said she was at work when her mother called her to say that a plane had flown into one of the towers. Holder said she didn’t think too much of it. “I said it’s New York. Things like that happen. We all thought it was like an accident,” she said, adding that she gathered her things and went into the dispatch center where they had on a television. “We were watching it and the second plane hit. Right then I knew it was an attack. It was planned. I think it became clear to everybody at that point.” Once the realization hit that America had been attacked on our own soil, she and others went into self-preservation mode. Boyer said she didn’t think about hopping into her car and driving somewhere to help those in need during the fallout of the attacks but she thought about doing her job. The concern became focused on whether the attacks could happen here or at least closer to home. And then the idea was to prepare,
Holder said. “Common sense tells you that chances of anything happening in New Braunfels are slim. But we are close to San Antonio. There are military bases there. We’re in the flight pattern of the San Antonio Airport,” she said. “In the beginning we didn’t know what to expect or what to think. We went into preparation mode. We watched as everybody else did in shock and disbelief. As the events of the day unfolded it became pretty clear there were targets and we weren’t one of them.” Looking back, Boyer said the world changed after the planes crashed. She believes the events ushered in a new consciousness. “I think we all became a little bit more aware. I think our innocence was taken from us,” she said. “We had felt a sense of security on our own land. That was taken from us that day. ... It opened your eyes and made you realize we are all susceptible to terrorism.” What was not shaken was her faith in people in uniform and their willingness to do whatever the job called for. “We see that all of the
time in our profession. It was shocking that we lost so many lives that day. It was devastating,” Boyer said. “But to see them respond that way in New York and at the Pentagon, that wasn’t surprising. That’s what men and women in law enforcement do everyday: They run toward the danger; they don’t retreat.” People will find any number of ways to commemorate this 15th anniversary, but Brinkkoeter said the way he chose will specifically honor those men and women who went into those towers and ascended scores of flights of stairs in hopes of saving as many lives as they could while risking their very own. He said he will strap on his full firefighter gear and trek up as many flights of stairs as it would’ve taken a first responder to reach the top of the World Trade Center towers. “Myself and another firefighter are going to the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio in our gear,” Brinkkoeter said. “We’re going to climb the Tower of The Americas. We have to go twice, but we’re going to climb 110 flights.”

This prosthetic treatment begins with the implantation of several titanium anchors in the upper or lower jaw or both. After the implants are placed into the jaw bone, a denture may be put in place. Inside the denture there are attachments that will
snap on the implants and hold the denture in place. In some cases, two implants will hold an upper or a lower denture in place. Often this is done using the patients existing denture, eliminating the expense of a new denture. This procedure can often dramatically improve the quality of a patient’s life and health.

TEACH Continued from page 1A Evan Bandy, world geography teacher at the New Braunfels High School Ninth Grade Center: Bandy said he was 17 years old, starting his senior year at Coronado High School in Lubbock, on 9/11. He was listening to a CD in his truck on the way to school, and when the CD ejected, he heard a morning radio host talking about something serious. “I left my truck and went into the building, where immediately to my right, I saw one of the old box TVs already out in the hall from my government teacher’s room, and that’s when I saw the second plane hit on live TV,” he said. Bandy described the day as “somber and surreal.” “A lot of kids went home, and the kids who stayed kind of shuffled silently from class to class, where all the box TVs the school could find were up and running CNN news. We sat each class that day just watching the news unfold over the other two planes, the speculation, the president speaking, et cetera.” Bandy was the singer in local band at the time, and the band had a gig that night. He said he talked to the venue and the other bands scheduled to play, and they all agreed it would be okay for the show to go on. His pre-show ritual was to stop at a convenience store and get two liters of water to get hydrated before taking to the stage. That night at the convenience store, Bandy said, there was a four-block-long line of cars. People were buying gasoline in a panic. As he paid the clerk for his water, he asked the clerk what was going on with all the people lining up to buy gasoline. “He said, ‘Didn’t you hear? We are going to war.’ I didn’t realize how true it was at the time,” Bandy said, “but my response was something like, ‘I know some terrorists hijacked planes and attacked us with them, but I don’t know about war.’” “When I tell my students about it, I recant my personal story,” he said. “It makes it more real to them to hear details of my day exactly as I remember them and for them to see my reaction to it still fresh on my mind as it was 15 years ago. I also mention about the panic and chaos it inspired, not just in regular people, but in the government as well.” When he teaches students about 9/11, he also talks about the invasion of Afghanistan and then of Iraq and, as a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, he shares tales from his military service. Bandy said that he hopes
students learn that history isn’t all ancient wars between emperors and kings. “That event happened when I was just a couple of years older than they are now. We have history about to be made with our presidential election. History will be made during their lifetime that will affect them in some way,” he said. “I also hope they take away that life can change in an instant based on what happens anywhere else in the world. I mostly just hope that they understand that the event and the events that followed are all related, and history never really stops — it just changes course based on impactful events.” Ali Skalemenos, social studies teacher at New Braunfels Middle School: Skalamenos said she was a 17-year-old student at New Braunfels High School on Sept. 11, 2001. “I was a senior at New Braunfels High School, in the broadcast journalism classroom,” she said. “That day the news had our attention as a live report came across the screen and we watched the footage of the second airplane flying into the building. Everyone stopped what they were doing and tuned in with disbelief.” After the 9/11 attacks, a New York fireman donated an American flag from Ground Zero to the school. Skalemenos, as student body president, got to accept the flag on behalf of the school. “It was an honor to accept the flag that once flew at the World trade Center,” she said. Skalemenos said the 9/11 attacks are covered as part of the Patriot Day lesson in schools. “We explain that Patriot Day is an annual observance on Sept. 11 to remember those who were injured or died during the terrorist attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,” she said. For the lesson, students read about the event, watch an interview with a fireman who was there that day, discuss the events as a class and talk about the 9/11 memorial and museum. “I hope our students understand why we observe Patriot Day and why Sept. 11 was a pivotal day in American history,” Skalemenos said. Matt Vanderbrook, social studies teacher at Smithson Valley Middle School: Vanderbrook was 15 years old and starting his freshman year of high school when the 9/11 attacks occurred. “Sept. 11, 2001, is one of those days in history that almost anyone who was alive will remember exactly where they were and what they did,” he said. “I first found out about the attacks

when I got to second period in my high school. From there, it was a day watching the events unfold through the TV in classrooms.” Vanderbrook said he remembers an overarching feeling of fear and uncertainty about what would happen next. And, like a lot of people, he was personally affected by the attacks. “My neighbor from down the street was killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center,” he said. “I was in shock about how my neighbor from a small town in Louisiana was one of the many killed that day. It wasn’t just tragedy that struck New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia; it was a tragic event that affected everyone in the United States.” Vanderbrook added, “None of these students were alive on 9/11, but they all live in a world that has changed because of it. It is important for them to un-
derstand that. I talk about my experiences and historical facts, and we have a class discussion.” When they learn about the attacks, Vanderbrook said, his students are usually shocked at first, but then they develop a sense of pride.
“Once we discuss the importance of our first responders and military since 9/11, many students are proud, especially if their family members have either served our country through the military or are first responders,” he said. “They begin to realize the impor-
tance of their family members’ sacrifice. “I hope students realize how much the world we live in today has changed due to these events,” he continued. “I also hope students recognize how these attacks brought together our country.”

Colorado State holds off Roadrunners for 23-14 victory UTSA Athletics
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Colorado State rushed for 220 yards and held UTSA to minus-one yard on the ground en route to a 23-14 victory on Saturday afternoon at Hughes Stadium. Dalyn Dawkins led the Rams’ (1-1) ground attack with 68 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while Izzy Matthews added 49 and a score.

Guardians bowl over La Pryor in road win Staff reports
LA PRYOR — The Guardians (2-1) recorded a one-sided 41-16 win over La Pryor Friday night on the road. John Paul II took a 2716 lead into the half and pitched a shutout in the third and fourth quarters, outscoring La Pryor 14-0 down the stretch. Sammy LaRue scored on
in the middle of the end zone on what was the fourth third-down conversion of the drive. Victor Falcon’s extra point gave the visitors a 7-3 lead with 5:34 left in the first quarter. The Rams answered on their next possession. Dawkins, who rushed for 34 yards on the drive, beat the Roadrunners defense to the left pylon on fourth down and goal from the one to put the home side back on top, 10-7, late in the opening stanza. After Colorado State pushed its lead to 10 on a 6-yard scoring dash by Izzy Matthews with 3:18 left in the half, UTSA closed the gap to 17-14 on the ensuing pos-
session. On second down and 19, Sturm found Jarveon Williams over the middle for 28 yards down to the Rams 16. On the next play, the junior signal caller connected with Brady Jones over the middle for a touchdown with 14 seconds remaining until halftime. However, the Rams struck quickly before the half, as Faton Bauta found Elroy Masters for 45 yards down to the UTSA 20. With two seconds left, two consecutive offsides penalties against the Roadrunners on missed field goal attempts gave Colorado State a third try from 28 yards out. Bryan split the uprights to provide the 6-point halftime lead.
Neither team scored in the second half until Wyatt Bryan drilled a 46-yard field goal with 2:24 left to make it a two-possession game.

Central Michigan stuns Oklahoma State 30-27 on incredible final play John Tranchina AP Sports Writer
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — The officiating mistake was a doozy — and it cannot be fixed. The play that followed was even more astonishing. One of the oddest endings imaginable left Oklahoma State stunned and Central Michigan celebrating. A misinterpreted rule extended the game when it should have been over and allowed the Chippewas to score a wild, winning touchdown on a Hail Mary and lateral — yes, both! — that covered half the field for an 30-27 upset of No. 22 Oklahoma State on Saturday. Oklahoma State (1-1) tried to kill the final 4 seconds of the game by throwing the ball away on fourth down, but the Cowboys were penalized for inten-
tional grounding, which is a loss of down penalty. Rules state that the game cannot end on an accepted live-ball penalty, referee Tim O’Dey of the Mid-American Conference, CMU’s league, said. But he later admitted there a situation where the game can end. “There’s an exception to the rule that says if enforcement of the foul involves a loss of down, then that brings the game to an end,” O’Dey told a pool reporter. O’Dey said after conferring with NCAA rules committee secretary Rogers Redding after the game, the crew determined the “extension should not have happened.” But the final result stood. Article 3b of the NCAA rulebook states: When the referee declares that the game is ended, the score is final.

No. 6 Houston routs Lamar 42-0 Knight tosses 3 TDs empty seats. The official time of the delay was three hours, 36 minutes. The Cougars passed the time Postma during the delay receiving some extra coaching, listening to music and even dancing. They also had some chicken sandwiches delivered as lunchtime came and went with no end to the delay in sight. “Everybody made the most of it,” linebacker Steven Taylor said. It didn’t take Houston (2-0) long to get going after the delay, and a touchdown dive by Justice made it 14-0 with less than a minute left in the first quarter. That score was the first of three straight touchdowns, which included a second score from Justice, which pushed the lead to 28-0 at halftime. “We kind of wore down,” Lamar coach Ray Woodard said. “I was proud of our effort, but we just got outmanned today.” The Cougars answered those who wondered if they would suffer a letdown after their huge win over then-No. 3 Oklahoma last week, or be looking past the FCS Cardinals (0-2) toward Thursday’s American Athletic Conference opener at Cincinnati. Herman said that Ward would have played had Saturday’s game been a conference game and that he’d return against Cincinnati. He believes his team can be much better despite coasting to Saturday’s win. “To win a game 42-0 and still have that much work to do is a definite eye-opener for our guys,” he said.

rience of facing a top 10 team when they open Southland Conference play next week. HOUSTON: The Cougars did what they were supposed to do against a lesser opponent and were able to give some of their banged-up starters a little bit of a break with a quick turnaround.
HOUSTON (AP) — About the only thing that slowed down the sixth-ranked Houston Cougars on Saturday was bad weather that led to a 3 1/2hour delay. The Cougars easily overcame the absence of injured quarterback Greg Ward Jr. as well as the marathon lightning delay for a 42-0 victory over Lamar. “I’m really proud of the entire team really for handling that kind of adversity,” coach Tom Herman said. “We train for that kind of chaos.” With Ward on the sideline nursing an injured right shoulder, backup Kyle Postma ran 39 yards for a score in the first quarter in a game that lasted six hours, 18 minutes. The Cougars had three players top 100 yards rushing for the first time since 1974, and piled up 381 yards on the ground. Kevrin Justice had 111 yards and two touchdowns, freshman Mulbah Car added 109 yards and a score in his debut and Postma scrambled for a career-high 106 yards with two TDs. Dark clouds descended on the stadium soon after Postma’s score, and a lightning strike forced the game to be suspended at 11:36 a.m. with 3:13 left in the first quarter. Multiple lightning strikes followed, pushing the game back again and again. It wasn’t raining at the beginning of the delay, and fans remained in their seats despite a warning to move to the concourse. It was a festive atmosphere, with many fans chanting and dancing, and at one point doing the wave. But it began to rain at about 1:30 p.m. and chased all but a few fans out of their seats. By the time the game resumed at THE TAKEAWAY 3:12 p.m., the once mostly-full LAMAR: The Cardinals stands were dotted with many should benefit from the expe-
in A&M’s 67-0 win Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Trevor Knight and the Texas A&M offense took some time to get started Saturday, but when the Aggies got going, they were tough to slow down. Knight threw for 344 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score in a 67-0 rout of Prairie View A&M. Knight finished 21 of 37 and threw touchdowns of 8 yards to Speedy Noil and 34 and 64 yards to Christian Kirk in the second quarter as the 20th-ranked Aggies (2-0) built a 38-0 halftime lead. Knight also ran for a 78 yards on seven carries in just over one half of play. “We didn’t start as quickly as I hoped we would,” Knight said. “There’s not a lot of explanation for that besides execution. We have to execute better out of the gates. We settled in obviously and got some big plays going, especially in that second quarter and to start the third quarter.” Noil made his debut after missing last week’s game serving the second game of a two-game suspension he received before A&M’s bowl game last season. The Aggies extended their home non-conference win streak to 23 games and are 2-0 for the fourth straight season. “As a coach, when you set out and have a plan — not necessarily X’s and O’s plan but what you ask guys to do — and that happens, you feel good about it,” Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. “The key to any successful team is to be able to duplicate that week in and week out.” Texas A&M outgained the Panthers 672-205 in earning its largest shutout since defeating Missouri 73-0 on Sept. 18, 1993. “Shutouts are hard to come by,” Texas A&M cornerback
YES, THEY’RE RELATED In case you’re wondering, Lamar quarterback Carson Earp, who started but threw for just 14 yards while splitting time with Andrew Allen, is related to infamous Old West lawman Wyatt Earp. The senior and the man known for his part in the legendary battle at the O.K. Corral are distant cousins. The propensity for people to refer to quarterbacks as gunslingers seems a little silly when compared to the likes of Wyatt Earp, who was literally a gunslinger in the wild West.
TOUGH DAY The only area where Houston struggled on Saturday was in the kicking game. Ty Cummings was 12 for 12 in his career before missing field goals attempts from 31 and 25 yards against Lamar.
POLL IMPLICATIONS The Cougars should maintain their position in the poll after getting a lopsided win against a team they were supposed to beat.
UP NEXT LAMAR: The Cardinals host Sam Houston State on Saturday. HOUSTON: The Cougars play at Cincinnati Thursday.
LAST WORD “It was 511? It seemed like about 1,511,” Woodard said about Houston’s total yardage.

Nick Harvey, who also had a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown, said. “Getting a shutout doesn’t happen every day. We feel great right now, but we made some mistakes.” Texas A&M managed a 22yard field goal in the first 10 minutes before busting the game open over the final 18 minutes of the half. Keith Ford, who had two touchdowns, had an 11-yard scoring run with three minutes left in the opening quarter before Knight tight-roped the sideline for the final 5 yards of a 32-yard TD scamper to end the first. “With us, it’s getting up to our tempo,” Kirk said. “All we need is one explosive play to get us going. Once we get that first explosive play, we take advantage of the tempo and get right back on to the ball and start running our plays.” Prairie View (1-1), which plays in the FCS Southwestern Athletic Conference, had a 38-yard field goal blocked and missed a 42-yard field goal in the first half. “We knew going into it that we were going to have to play above ourselves to have a chance against a top 20 SEC program,” Prairie View coach Willie Simmons said. “I thought they competed for 60 minutes. They didn’t quit. We have them our best punch, and that’s all you can ask for.” Trey Green threw for 160 yards on 13 of 39 passing, but the Aggies’ defense had pressure on Green throughout the game.

Man’s nonstop work schedule leaves little time for wife
DEAR ABBY: I am a stay-at-home mom who doesn’t work. My husband wants me at home, and I’m OK with that, but the problem is, he is now working two jobs and I never see him. When he gets home, he’s so exhausted he can’t keep his eyes open. He sleeps only four hours a night. I’m afraid he will crash and burn from overwork and lack of sleep. I also miss him and want to be with him. With no time together, I feel like I’m losing him. How can I make this work? I don’t want to put pressure on him or make him feel bad, but I need him. I told him I’d get a part-time job, but he said he works for the both of us and that was the end of that conversation. I don’t want to lose my marriage over this! Do you have any advice that might help? -- LOSING HIM IN TENNESSEE DEAR LOSING HIM: I don’t blame you for being concerned. What your husband is doing isn’t healthy for him, for you or for your marriage. It’s time to discuss this with him more fully than it appears you have been able to so far. He seems to be old-fashioned in his views about marriage. Generations ago, husbands were expected to be the sole provider, but economic reality has put an end to that. Today, both spouses work, primarily because they need to. It may take mediation along with some input from his doctor to make your husband face reality, but he needs to understand that you are worried sick about him, that you’re not happy with things as they are and that you are starting your job search. DEAR ABBY: I have been a widow for almost a year. I have met someone I really like and we have started to date. My roommate, “Eva,” encouraged me to meet this man (I’ll call him Warren) and get to know him if it would make me happy, so I did. Warren and I have a lot in common. We can talk to each other for hours. Eva now tells me she doesn’t like having Warren at the house because it “reminds her of how alone and single” she is. She says she doesn’t want him here even if she isn’t home. This is causing problems because my work schedule makes it easier to have him over for coffee so we can talk before I leave for work, or on days off when she’s at work and I’m at home. When I offer to set Eva up on dates, she refuses. She told me she “hates” men and all of them are nothing but liars and cheaters. Please help. I want to help my friend and also to have a good relationship with Warren. I feel happiest when we’re together, but I don’t want to lose my friend over this. -- TORN IN TWO OUT WEST DEAR TORN: Because of Eva’s aversion to men, continuing to try fixing her up isn’t going to work. You didn’t mention whose name is on the lease, but if it’s Eva’s -- and she’s not comfortable with Warren coming to visit -- consider moving to a place of your own or in with a roommate who’s not jealous.

Season of changes NB Parks and Recreation gears up for new fall programs By Molly Block
W
The Herald-Zeitung
hile the leaves on the trees haven’t quite begun changing colors yet, the New Braunfels Parks and Recreation Department have already rolled out their new family programs this month — a sure sign of fall. After a spectacular summer season, the fall activities, programs and classes began in September and will continue through January. Kelsey Heiden, marketing coordinator for the parks department, said that a new section was added to their programs this fall called "family fun." Almost all of the family fun activities are either low-cost, or free with the purchase of a facility card. Facility cards are $7 for adults and $5 for children. They are good for the whole year, Heiden said. "The idea behind the family fun events is to foster community engagement, and also to get people to understand parks and recreation with the hope that they will come back," Heiden said on Wednesday. "We're going to have our family paddle boat races on Thursday, and this will also be our third fall to offer the S'more Campfire Stories. We offer that once a month until January, and families actually get to camp out in Landa Park — and that's not something that's typically allowed." Also back by popular demand this fall is family dodgeball at the Landa Recreation Center, which Heiden believes was a big hit last year. "We want families to engage with one another, and just have fun," Heiden said. "We're going to offer some special events too like the father/son Nerf gun war, and holiday Mike Wallace, programs supervisor for the Nature Education Center at Fischer Park, leads a program on archery See FALL, page 3C on Sept. 3, 2016.

“And I think we all have a duty to devote at least a small portion of our daily lives to ensuring that neither America nor the world ever forgets 9/ 11.” – Bill Frist, former US Senator. In 2011, just two days before the 10th anniversary of the horrific and unimaginable events of September 11, 2001, I was invited to speak to an assembly of college students beginning their senior year. Because of the timing of my talk, I told the true story of my Uncle George’s closest friend, Malcolm, who had gone on a brief holiday to Denmark. Early one evening, Malcolm left his hotel room in downtown Copenhagen for a brisk evening walk around this historic city. While enjoying his leisurely stroll, he was surprised to see the shadow of a figure crouched in the doorway of a closed shop. Perhaps the man was ill and needed help, he thought. As he approached the stranger in the light of the evening’s full moon, Malcolm was surprised to learn that the man he encountered was not ill at all, just simply kneeling in prayer. As soon as he realized what the mysterious figure was doing, the vacationer apologized for any disturbance he may have caused. Looking up, the crouched figure smiled and quietly explained to Malcolm that many years before — his only son had been a college student in Copenhagen and had also worked with the local resistance fighting the Nazi occupation in Denmark. Late one night, German military forces retaliated and his son, attempting to flee, was shot and killed in that very doorway. Every year on the anniversary of his son’s death, the father explained, he visits that small shadowy shop door to kneel, to remember, and to honor the place where his son had drawn his last breath. Facing those bright college students, I drew the parallel that just as the doorway did for the man See FITSKO, page 4C

New Braunfels’ Founders Oak is considered “Giant of the Forest”
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth brought forth grass ...and the tree yielding fruit...and God saw that it was good. And after creating man in his own image, God ‘planted a garden...and out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food.’ Trees have always been as basic to man's needs as the food he eats. Their benefits are so much a part of his very existence that these blessings are often taken for granted. It is a foolish man, indeed, who believes he is beyond the blessing of trees. They are the legacy of the past, the boon for the present, and the promise for the future.” The preceding paragraphs are in the preface to the third edition of the book, “Famous Trees of Texas” written in 1984 and published by the Texas Forest Service, a part of the Texas A&M University System and edited by John A. Haislet. The purpose of the book is to memorialize those trees that have been a witness to some of the exciting periods and events in Texas history. Also recognized are trees that are certified by the American Forestry Association as the largest of their kind in the United States. The first edition of Famous Trees of Texas was published in 1970. New Braunfels is included by the recognition of the beautiful oak on the east side of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church at the north end of Castell Street. The tree, not surprisingly, is called “Church Oak.” There is a large concrete
FALL Continued from page 1 happenings with Santa for families." For the teens, a call to duty Nerf tactical program will be offered at the beginning of December and January. The event is free with a facility card, and will take place at the Landa Park Aquatic Complex. Teams of two to four will be paired up according to age through two different environments to experience indoor and outdoor tactical scenarios. Participants are encouraged to bring their own Nerf gun, and the "ammo" will be provided. Robin Kunkel, recreation manager for the parks department, believes some people might also be interested in the sewing class offered this fall. "The sewing class was new this summer, and a lot of people liked it," Kunkel said. "We decided to carry it over into the fall programs. It's a little more expensive, but I think people really see the value there. We're really trying to hone in on what we offer and spread ourselves in every area. These are all fun things that people can do to learn a hobby, develop a new skill and be exposed

marker at the base of the tree placed by the Texas Historical Landmarks Association. The Association's secretary, Miss Adina de Zavala who was the daughter of the provisional vice-president of the Republic of Texas and who also began the movement of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas to save the Alamo, spoke at the dedication in 1917. The marker inscription states the following: “Folklore says that here at the dawn of Texas history, stood an Indian village in which one of the early missionaries lingered many days, that here a vision of the chief's daughter freed the first German in Texas. Tradition says that under this tree Mass was offered by the Abbe Em Domenech in 1849.” What the marker did not reveal about the site where this exceptional oak is located is an interesting bit of history of the founding of New Braunfels. The to nature education." For people who are interested in volunteering with the parks department, Kunkel said there will be plenty of opportunities to give back this fall. "The Parks and Recreation Department has many volunteer opportunities for those interested in serving our community, and keeping our parks and trails beautiful," the fall 2016 program guide said. " Whether you are an individual or group looking for a one-time event or an ongoing project, we have an opportunity for you." Volunteer opportunities include: invasive plant removal, "micro" picking, trail maintenance, mulching, park playground builds, landscape bed adoption, working special events, nature programs and watering trees. Kunkel believes parks and recreation programs serve to protect the environment, promote social interaction, increase economic development and improve community health. For more information about volunteering or any fall programs offered, visit www.nbtexas.org/parks. Additionally, pre-registration is strongly encouraged for any of the programs or activities offered.
site is part of a steep embankment overlooking the Comal Creek. Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, Commissoner General of the Adelsverein, chose the site for the best safeguard of the founding families of New Braunfels who arrived March 21, 1845. Prior to their arrival, the Prince had a three-sided stockade built for their protection. A cannon was fired morning and evening to further ward off a possible attack by Indians. The Centennial Issue of Famous Trees of Texas by Gretchen Riley and Peter D. Smith, published in 2015 by the Texas A&M Forest Service, contained an exciting addition- the 314 year-old Founders' Oak in Landa Park. The entry was researched and written by Jane Miller and submitted by Kelly Eby, Urban Forester of the City's Parks and Recreation Department. By 2012, through the ravages of time, only 55
of the original 87 Famous Trees of Texas remained. Founders' Oak is one of only five trees given the distinction to be named a Famous Tree of Texas since the initial 1969 listing. Landa Park's beloved Founders' Oak was officially christened a Famous Tree of Texas at a gathering of hundreds who attended the Saturday morning, Aug. 4, 2012 celebration that included Paul Johnson, Texas A&M Forest Service, presenting Mayor Gale Pospisil a certificate honoring Landa Park's Founders' Oak as a Famous Tree of Texas. There is much to reveal regarding this majestic tree, but the space needed requires another column. This year, New Braunfels is recognized for the 28th consecutive year as Tree City, USA, a distinction awarded by the Texas Forestry Service and the National Arbor Day Foundation. Our William and Dolores Schumann
Arboretum in Landa Park is one of the largest in the country. The Founders' Oak in that arboretum in Landa Park is considered the “Giant of the Forest” at 64 inches tall. Knowing our community's devotion to its trees, Friends for the Preservation of Historic Landa Park invite the public to attend a gathering at Landa Haus, 360 Aquatic Circle, in Landa Park for a presentation by Mark Peterson on Monday, Sept. 12 at 3 p.m. Come at 2:30 p.m. for refreshments prior to hearing Mr. Peterson's presentation. New Braunfels' Historic Landa Park, Its Springs and Its People will be available for purchase before and after the presentation. The first award presented at the Parks and Recreation Department's annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner is the Mark Peterson Award. This award is given to the organization

that hosted the best Arbor Day program of the year. The award is given to honor Mark Peterson in recognition of his time as our area's Regional Urban Forester because he worked hand and hand with our local garden clubs and other organizations to beautify our parks and preserve our forests. Mark is among those who have guided us to an awareness of the blessings and necessary nurturing of our trees.

SHOULD YOU BE GLUTEN-FREE?
Lauren Beller, RD, LD CTMC Clinical Dietitian Gluten is a protein found in wheat. The main reason someone would need to eliminate gluten from their diet is if they have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. If you don’t have either one of those, it’s not medically important to remove gluten from your diet. Some people find that they feel better when they stop eating gluten. However, when you eliminate wheat-containing products from your diet, you also eliminate good vitamins and minerals. It’s important to get those from other sources if you’re not eating wheat, particularly B vitamins and fiber. While it’s not going to hurt you to be gluten-free, it’s important to do a little more work to make sure you’re eating a healthy diet.

Many people believe they can lose weight by adopting a gluten-free lifestyle, but many gluten-free products are full of sugar, fat and things you don’t need. Be sure to read nutrition labels and choose whole foods rather than pre-packaged, gluten-free cookies. Symptoms of gluten intolerance can be varied. Some people may experience diarrhea or stomach pain after they eat foods containing gluten. In some cases, joint pain has been linked to gluten intolerance. If you suspect you may have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, see your doctor for a blood test.

Using the correct fertilizer can make difference in lawn Q. I understand it is recommended that we fertilize our lawns on or about Oct. 1. What type of fertilizer should we use for most efficient feeding? A. I recommend use of a “winterizer� lawn fertilizer with a formula of 3 parts nitrogen, 1 part phosphorous, and 3 parts potassium source. Formulas such as 15-510 or 16-8-12 work well. If you have open bags of slow release lawn fertilizer from this summer, use it for your winter flower and vegetable garden. Q. What insecticides are they using for mosquitoes in Florida and here in Texas to stop the Zika Virus? On the news it looks like they are doing a lot of general spraying. How will that effect birds and beneficial insects? A. From what I can discover, it appears they are using malathion and premethrin. Malathion has been used for mosquito control for several generations. It does kill beneficial insects such as honey bees. We are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to mosquito control. They carry many diseases and must be controlled. So far, general spraying of potent insecticides is the most effective way to control them.
FITSKO Continued from page 1C Malcom had encountered, the site once known as Ground Zero, now the National September 11 Memorial, has become a sacred place to pray and to honor those whose lives were lost. Preserving that sacred ground for generations to come is one of the ways to ensure that future generations recognize that freedom is never free, and will always be challenged by those who wish to deny it or destroy it for others. Today marks the 15th anniversary of that fateful
CALVIN FINCH Columnist Calvin Finch has a Ph.D. and is a retired Texas A&M Horticulturist.
Q. Can we plant potatoes this fall? When? A. The usual time to plant potatoes is in early February for an early summer harvest. Some gardeners plant potatoes in September with hopes of enough mild weather to produce a crop. Potatoes are hot and cold weather sensitive. Q. We have a new home and landscape. We also are blessed with deer. What shrubs can we plant that the deer will not eat? Are any shade tolerant? A. In the sun, plant Texas mountain laurel, thyrallis, esperanza and pomegranate. In both shade and sun consider standard and dwarf yaupon holly, standard pittosporum, boxwood, nandina, primrose jasmine, Mexican honeysuckle, and viburnum. For more information on each of the plant species visit plantanswers.com. Q. How long will our day and during these ensuing years, we’ve wept, we’ve grieved, become a bit less trusting, but ultimately stronger in our resolve to remain free by continuing to support this great democracy we call America. And while our country is less than perfect with its obvious flaws and past and present inequalities, it is still a place of great reverence and undeniably the most free and noble republic ever known in the history of humankind. And that’s worth celebrating today on this September 11, or any day for that matter.
zinnias, marigolds, begonias, and penta keep blooming. When can we plant snapdragons, stocks, pansies and the other cool weather annuals? A. The warm weather annuals will often bloom all the way to Thanksgiving but you can plant cool weather annuals such as snapdragons, stocks, dianthus and calendula in September. Wait until October or November for pansies, cyclamen and primula. Q. Last year my fall tomatoes were devastated by hornworms. By the time I figured out what was causing the damage, they had stripped the plants. What could I spray them with to prevent the same damage this year? A. We usually try to keep a close watch on the plants and as soon as any foliage feeding is noticed, spray with a Bt product. If you are troubled with hornworms and stinkbugs, a preventative spray of Sevin every 10 days would work for both of the tough to control insects.
Viewing our closest star Total solar eclipses are amazing, but they do not happen often in my neighborhood. They do not happen often in anyone’s neighborhood. The Sun offers plenty of treats on days it is not in total eclipse and this week’s column is devoted to, well, observing the everyday Sun. OK, maybe not just the everyday Sun, because any solar eclipse other than a total eclipse at totality requires protection for your eyes. So, actually, this week’s column is devoted to safely observing the Sun when it is not at totality during a total solar eclipse. That is, pretty much anytime it is not too cloudy, although some cloudiness can make the view more interesting. Let’s start with no optical enhancement, just your eyes and the Sun. Magnification 1X. #14 Arc Welder’s glass: Many supply stores sell just the dark glass used for eye protection while welding. The one to use is #14 Arc Welders Glass. This glass gives sufficient protection so you can look directly at the Sun through it. Solar Glasses: There are inexpensive specialty glasses made for solar viewing. One company selling them is Rainbow Symphony. Pinhole Projector: You can use two index cards. Make a small hole in one index card using a pin.
next option, optical enhancement (magnification greater than 1X). There are downsides‌shakiness and more difficulty aiming due to magnification. A tripod or specialty mount will be helpful. Do not look at the sun while aiming, or through the optical equipment. Binocular Projection: The Sun’s image can be projected through binoculars. As with the pinhole you can hold binoculars so they point toward the Sun and hold a piece of white cardboard behind the eyepieces.
ERIC ERICKSON Columnist Eric Erickson a member of the New Braunfels Astronomy Club.
Hold the card up toward the Sun and hold the other index card so sunlight coming through the hole lands on it. Move the card with projected sunlight on it back and forth until you see the best image of the Sun. You can experiment with larger holes and different distances between cards to get bigger images. One common result of the above methods is the Sun looks small. You want to see a bigger Sun? Let’s move on to the
What’s in the Sky? The Summer Triangle is directly overhead. The bright stars Vega (in Lyra the lyre), Deneb (in Cygnus the swan), and Altair (in Aquila the eagle) form it. Take it easy, lie down and check it out. Use binoculars too.

Vanished flag from famous 9/11 photo returns to ground zero NEW YORK (AP) — An American flag raised at ground zero on Sept. 11 in a defining moment of patriotic resolve took its place at the site Thursday after disappearing for over a decade. The 3-foot-by-5-foot flag took a symbolic and curious journey from a yacht moored in lower Manhattan to the smoking wreckage of the World Trade Center, then to a firehouse about 2,400 miles away in Everett, Washington — and now to a glass case at the National Sept. 11 Muse-
um. A TV show, a mysterious man and two years of detective work helped re-establish its whereabouts. “In a museum that’s filled with such deeply powerful artifacts, this newest of artifacts is certainly one of the most emotionally and historically powerful,” museum President Joe Daniels said as the display was unveiled Thursday. The flag’s absence, he said, “just felt like a hole in the history of this site.” The flag is the centerpiece of one of the most resonant
images of American fortitude on 9/11. After plucking the flag from a nearby boat, three firefighters hoisted it amid the ashen destruction as photographer Thomas E. Franklin of The Record of Hackensack, New Jersey, captured the scene. The Pulitzer Prize-winning picture inspired a postage stamp, sculpture and other tributes. Meanwhile, the flag was signed by New York’s governor and two mayors and flown at Yankee Stadium, outside City Hall and on an
aircraft carrier near Afghanistan — except it wasn’t the right flag. It was bigger, and by 2004, the yacht’s owners had publicly broached the error. By then, officials had no idea what had happened to the real flag. They were in the dark until November 2014, when a man turned up at an Everett fire station with what is now the museum’s flag, saying he’d seen a recent History channel piece about the mystery, according to Everett Police De-

tective Mike Atwood and his former colleague Jim Massingale. The man, who gave firefighters only the name “Brian,” said he’d gotten it as a gift from an unnamed National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration worker who’d gotten it from an unidentified 9/11 widow. The detectives gathered surveillance video and circulated a police sketch, but they haven’t found the man or been able to confirm his explanation of the flag’s prov-
enance. But a forensic expert analyzed dust on the flag and halyard and found it consistent with ground zero debris. Meanwhile, the detectives scrutinized photos and videos of the flag-raising and consulted one of the yacht’s former crew members to compare the flag’s size, material, stitching, hardware and halyard. Taking all the evidence together, “we feel it’s very likely the one captured in the photo,” said Massingale, now with the Stillaguamish Police.
