RUNOFF ELECTIONS

Biedermann, Schmidt, Olfers win Buckingham tops King in Senate race to replace Fraser By Ken Esten Cooke Kyle Biedermann rode a tea party-backed wave of antiincumbent sentiment and scored a huge upset against three-term District 73 State Rep. Doug Miller in Tuesday’s runoff elections. In county races, Vicki Schmidt defeated sitting county tax assessor-collector Marissa Weinheimer and Charles Olfers outpaced Dennis Behrends to win the runoff for Precinct 1

County Commissioner. “I started this campaign as a grassroots challenger knocking on thousands of doors and meeting tens of thousands of voters,” Biedermann said in a news release Tuesday night. “I have been blessed to live in Texas for the past 30 years and I have been working as hard as I can to provide for my family and serve my community. Tonight was a great win for the taxpayers and conservative grassroots.”

Biedermann, who was not available for comment by press time, stated he will not be beholden to entrenched interests when he gets to the State Capitol. “It was a tough fight, but this fact also means that I do not owe the Austin lobby, the entrenched interests and the capitol power brokers anything when I arrive in Austin,” he said. “My votes as a representative will be cast based upon rock solid conservative prin-

ciples and doing what is right and just for the people in this district and our great state.” The race was called for Biedermann just after 9 p.m. as the challenger kept a consistent 55 percent to 45 percent lead as precincts reported. This marks the first time in 65 years that a Gillespie County resident has represented the district in the State Capitol. In the Texas Senate District 24 race to replace longtime

Public health nurse addresses Museum will Tuberculosis case, safety seats honor war By Scott Allen

I’m happy to say this case is almost closed up.” Additionally, Patterson said she has been going to the area high schools and talking about youth suicide prevention. “Anything that we can do to raise awareness and prevent this will be a good thing,” Patterson said.

RUNOFFS

GILLESPIE COUNTY PRECINCT RESULTS (May differ from state or district results) Cont. from A/B1

Senator Troy Fraser, Austin doctor Dawn Buckingham ran away with the runoff race against current State Rep. Susan King of Abilene. Buckingham led a field of six hopefuls in the March primary race, getting into a runoff with King. Buckingham had roughly 26,000 votes to King’s 16,000 for a margin of 62 percent to 38 percent. After these party primaries, current officeholders will continue until after the November elections. But since all county races will be uncontested in the November general election, Tuesday’s winners are virtually assured of taking office. Voters in November also will choose the next president of the United States. Tonight’s winners will be sworn in on Jan. 1. Charles Olfers topped Dennis Behrends in the runoff for county commissioner to replace the retiring Curtis Cameron. Four men had vyed for the position in the March 1 primary. “I’m very thankful for and humbled by the support and I look forward to helping and

Schmidt, who lost a previous race against Weinheimer in 2008, said she was ready to get to work, improving efficiencies and updating procedures in the office, which had been plagued by missing funds (though no malice was every suspected). “I’m excited and ready to move on,” Schmidt said. “I thank everybody for putting their trust in me and I will do my level best to improve the conditions in the tax office.” In down-ballot races for the Republicans, Wayne Christian was neck and neck with Gary Gates in the race for Railroad Commissioner at press time. In two Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals races, Mary Lou Keel outpaced Ray Wheeless in the Place 2 runoff, and Scott Walker topped Brent Webster for Place 5.

COUNTY: Scanner will digitize records children in a car, were also discussed at several events. “We have a certified carseat tech in our office; we come up to these events and check car seats, and even give away car seats,” Patterson said. “If the seats have been recalled, expired or have been in an accident, we replace them at no charge.” The tech makes sure the seat is properly installed and that the parent knows how to properly install them. After briefly discussing rabies, which Patterson said Gillespie County only had seven cases in 2015, the Zika virus was brought up. “We have not had any positive cases that were bred here in the United States, but it’s very possible that we could have that, with all the international travel,” she said. Patterson urged people to try and travel to a country that doesn’t have Zika, especially if someone is pregnant and traveling. Also, she said people should wear repellant and dispose of open water so that the mosquitos don’t have anywhere to breed. “Empty bird baths and that sort of thing,” Patterson said. “Don’t let water stand around your home where mosquitos can breed. And also use mosquito repellant.”

system that will scan documents (including voter registration) to be put into electronic format so that the county will have records in case something happens to the paper copies. “We are out of room in our file cabinets for voting registration and they have never been in a secure place like they should be,” Marissa Weinheimer, Gillespie County tax-assessor collector, said. “There’s over 60,000 records that we’d like to scan.” The total expense for the document management system and services for voter registration in the tax office is $7,509.98, with the bulk of that expense to be paid by the Secretary of State ($4,696.28). Weinheimer said the system will include two scanners, so that two users can use it simultaneously. “We will save money by having people scan in house,” Weinheimer said. “And we are able to scan up to 120 pages per minute.” Additionally, the system lets users search via key words. “I think this will provide a great service to the public and anyone who may need it,” County Commissioner, Pct. 4, Donnie Schuch said. Weinheimer said the money coming from the Secretary of Scan system for county State must be used by August, County commissioners or it will go back to the state. approved the purchase of a “I’d hate to lose that money

Roger Hansen, Gillespie County Airport manager, said the outdoor pavilion will be completed within a year. “It will be an open-air hut, also known as a tiki-hut,” Hansen said. “It’s an octagonal-shape building with chairs around it. People can sit out and watch the airplanes as they take off and land.” COUNTY BRIEFS • Commissioners approved the Mylar drawings (blueprints) for the subdivision plat of lot 89 at Boot Ranch, Phase 1. The revision was done because part of the lot will be used as a common area for Boot Ranch.

Visualization, support needed to be ‘finishers’ There are three things I notice when I look at the Facebook page of Chris Boeker, a fellow in my graduating class from high school who attended the same university. One, he always sports a huge smile. Two, he is almost always pictured surrounded by happy family members. And three, he is a runner. To say he is a runner is a bit of an understatement. In April, his wife proudly posted that Chris had just completed the 2016 Boston Marathon, his 27th overall marathon to run, and the final one needed to complete The Major Six. According to her research, fewer than 600 runners have completed these six major global marathons over the last 10 years. In looking at the photos of Chris’ marathon medals, it struck me that many of them read “finisher.” Not something as audacious as “winner” but “finisher.” I like the notion of being a finisher and could think of many more instances, in business and life in general, when being a finisher would far outweigh being a winner. I have to confess that I struggle sometimes at being a finisher. I believe I am fairly good conceiving an idea. And I love the excitement and promise of hope that comes with exploring something new. But finishing is hard work. So how do we get to the finish line more often? I asked a female friend of mine, who started running in her early 50s and now runs competitively several weekends a month, how she started. For her, running was a way to clear her head after an unexpected and traumatic divorce. It became a way she could, with structure, chanSee McBRIDE ▶ A/B7

Urgent care clinic opens in Fredericksburg By Richard Zowie

Sometimes life is filled with unexpected emergencies that require medical attention, but not the kind that need treatment in the emergency room. That’s where Main Street Urgent Care comes in. “We will quickly get you on your way again,” said Melissa Dedmon, who owns the clinic with her husband, Mark. After purchasing the Boerne Main Street Urgent Care in January 2013, the Dedmons opened another Urgent Care clinic in Fredericksburg on Dec. 1, 2015. “Both Fredericksburg and Boerne are growing at such a rapid pace,” Melissa said. “At the time we decided to open our Fredericksburg location, there were no urgent care locations in Fredericksburg. Like many other people, we have loved visiting Fredericksburg, so it was an easy decision to open.” Melissa noted that the business serves not only

local Hill Country families, but also the many tourists. They accept most major insurances (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Aetna, United Health Care, Cigna, Medicaid, Medicare and Tricare) and describe the clinic as a cost effective alternative to the emergency room for the care of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Besides providing x-rays and EKGs, Urgent Care also performs vaccine administration, drug screening, employment physicals, and treatment of job-related injuries. Other problems they treat include sore throats, upper respiratory infections, fever, ear infections, laceration repair, fractures, sprains, bumps, acute asthma exacerbation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, allergic reactions, insect stings, foreign body removal, migraine headaches, hypertension and dehydration. No appointment is needed. Urgent Care is a privately owned, owner-operated small company that has no affiliation with a hospital system or large

McBRIDE: ‘Finishers’ nel her energy and emotion into something productive and calming. Her story made me think of the opening quote of the book “Living Forward” which reads, “The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.” To be a finisher in business, we have to be able to visualize how we will benefit from leaving our current position to occupy a new one. This is often scary. It may require additional capital, a critical rethink of our product offering or a change in our workforce. But to finish, we have to have the vision to start. Another obstacle in getting to the finish line is not having the proper support. No person decides to become a runner and completes a marathon that same day. They create a strategy to achieve their goal which includes research, training, proper gear and the encouragement of others. Entrepreneurs by their very nature are usually maverick, go-it-alone types. This spirit often works well in the visioning phase, but can create some considerable drag in becoming a finisher. Finishers track their progress and know the restorative value of rest. I remember sitting on a plane in my mid 30s for a long-weekend vacation, nearly too exhausted to enjoy it. I had worked for 82 (12-plus hour) days straight. I

had been running for a long time but frankly had come to a point where I no longer knew where the race ended. Perseverance, without strategy, will not produce a finish. One of my favorite things to do as Chamber president is to connect people and help them find resources. Maybe it is introducing people who I know will share some wonderful synergy. Perhaps it is helping a member find the resources needed to grow. It’s often times as simple as hosting an event for likeminded business people to casually network. But I know it helps them become finishers. What can you do to become a finisher in life? Be a finisher and you will automatically become a winner, too.

Dealership wins excellence award The Bob Price ChevroletBuick-GMC team was recognized by its corporate office for its professionalism and superior customer service, while growing their business. On Tuesday, May 17, Craig A. Vickers, Chevrolet zone manager awarded Price and the staff in Fredericksburg the Chevrolet and Buick Mark of Excellence awards.

Bob Price, owner of the Fredericksburg dealership, and his staff accepted the award. Price also owns dealerships in Pleasanton and Floresville. Both those stores have received mark of excellence awards. “Our dealerships go above and beyond what the customer expects,” Price said. “We like to emphasize that more than the

sale of the car.” Out of GM’s nearly 3,000 Chevrolet dealerships across the United States, only 150 Chevrolet dealerships received the Mark of Excellence Dealer Trophy, according to Hunter R. Klop, the district sales manager out of San Antonio. “Mark of excellence dealerships are role models for other Chevrolet dealers,” he said.

Out of GM’s 2,085 Buick dealerships across the United States, only 34 (or less than two percent) dealerships received the Mark of Excellence Dealer Trophy, Klop said. The GM Mark of Excellence Dealer Recognition Awards Program has existed for over 20 years. Bob Price Chevrolet-BuickGMC is at 1225 Texas 16 South.

HCMH seeks funds for labor, delivery equipment As part of its spring appeal, Hill Country Memorial Hospital Foundation seeks gifts toward equipment for labor and delivery rooms. HCM officials hope the hospital’s 45th birthday results in help obtaining these items. Equipment needed for labor and delivery rooms accounts for $75,600 of HCM’s total capital budget for 2016. There are two types of labor and delivery room equipment

that are needed: 1. Four infant bed warmers with integrated resuscitation capability, and 2. A ‘BiliBed’, or phototherapy system for the treatment of neonatal jaundice. To give to the spring appeal, interested individuals may donate online at giving.hillcountrymemorial.org or by calling the HCMH Foundation office at 830-997-1297. The newest generation of infant bed warmers and Bili-

Beds will allow for increased bonding time for the mom and baby, allowing them to stay in the same room. Updated technology will allow for what officials call “a more comfortable surrounding for mom, baby and caregivers.” The Women’s Pavilion was made possible due to community donations through the HCMH Foundation. For the third consecutive year, HCM has been recog-

nized by Women’s Choice award as an America’s Best Hospital for Obstetrics. “The Women’s Choice awards show our team’s and the hospital’s commitment to the community,” said Erin Huff, registered nurse, HCM director of obstetrics. “Maternal and newborn care is a calling for the staff and team members, and we dedicate ourselves to taking exceptional care of mothers and babies.”

DAYCARE: Background questionnaires

FACILITY Cont. from A/B1

must run background checks on their employees. However, after the recent indictment of an employee at the Child Development Center at Fredericksburg United Methodist Church for inappropriate behavior with a child, where a background check had been processed, some residents are asking how effective these checks are. “When we think of background checks, we usually think of criminal history background information, and to do that, the Texas Department of Public Safety will charge a fee from their website to conduct one,” said Lt. Terry Weed, with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Fredericksburg Police Department. “The problem with background checks is actually how in-depth the personal history questionnaire is that is used at any given place of employment. I don’t know what type of background check was done on the person who worked at the church daycare center,” Weed said. “If a place of employment has a thorough or at least some proper questions they are asking of an applicant, then that information can be followed up on by doing an open records request from a variety of entities,” he said. According to Weed, this determines what will be revealed in a background check. Because of confidentiality required by state agencies, no information is available from the Child Development Center concerning what questions were asked and what kind of information was required concerning the person recently accused of committing a crime at the center. “A suggestion would be to prepare a thorough questionnaire for any applicant in order to extract the needed information,” Weed said. “This would go beyond just contacting any references listed on their application. A criminal history can be obtained from certain sources, if desired.” Weed said that in addition to asking the right questions of an applicant, it is also important to get a background check from a reputable source. “I’ve never used any of the background check websites on the internet because they won’t reveal concerns or ‘red flags’ about a person unless you address those in some type of applicant questionnaire and then do some follow up,” Weed said. “Most of the websites are going to give household information such as income and people in the household, but then you still have to verify to see if it’s

Parents may evaluate a daycare center by going online and reading information given by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services concerning childcare licensing at: www.dfps.state.tx.us/child_care/. Childcare facilities in Fredericksburg usually fill their available slots quickly. However, there are a few openings for the fall at the following facilities: • Center for New Communities Early Head Start – Little Lambs. Applications are being accepted for next year. • Kindernest Montessori School. There are a few openings in the three-year-old class. Other classes are already filled. • Stonewall Head Start, Inc., Fredericksburg Center. Openings in the fall will be available for infants through four-year-olds as well as after-school programs for five- and six-year olds. Tuition is based on family income. • JoAnn L. Hannemann. May have some openings in the fall.

accurate.” Mary Walker, spokesperson for the DFPS, said when ordering a background check, daycare centers must request a name-based criminal history check and a DFPS Central Registry check for the director, owner and operator of the business, each person employed there, each prospective employee and each person at least age 14 who has unsupervised access to children in care. Background checks are processed by the Centralized Background Check Unit (CBCU) with DFPS. Requests are submitted to DFPS and results are sent to the operation through an automated cleared notification or a match notification letter from the CBCU inspector. Each operation is assigned a CBCU inspector who works with the operation to resolve any background check issues. Court documents and risk evaluation paperwork is also sent to the CBCU. “Information provided by the DPS name base check, central registry check and FBI are typically reliable,” Walker said. “Each case is reviewed individually and policy is followed according to the information, regarding whether or not an individual may or may not have direct access to children.” Inspections, requirements There are many requirements established to safeguard the care and safety of children in daycare centers. Inspections are conducted at various times by state officials. The inspector evaluates a licensed operation at every inspection for compliance with the supervision of children, child/caregiver ratio, obvious fire, safety and/or sanitation deficiencies and a sampling of serious incident reports. Examples of infractions listed on DFPS charts are:

• A school-aged child went to the restroom unsupervised, • The center’s emergency preparedness plan is lacking information, • An infant was left in a crib sleeping during a fire drill, • A child was allowed to stay in soiled clothing for more than an hour, • Caregivers were unaware that a child had left the building, • Failure to renew background checks every two years, • No information was recorded about who was authorized to pick up a child, and • Failure to wash infant’s hands after diaper was changed. “Licensed operations must have at least one annual unannounced inspection,” Walker said. “Registered child care homes must have at least one unannounced inspection every two years. The frequency of additional inspections will fluctuate, depending on the type of permit and an operation’s ability to comply with the licensing standards, rules and law.” She said licensing staff members inspect new operations frequently in order to offer technical assistance and establish a record of compliance with the DFPS standards, rules and law. “Once a record of compliance is established, an operation’s ability to remain in compliance determines how frequently an operation may be inspected,” she said. Upon receiving notification of the incident at the Methodist Child Development Center, DFPS immediately performed an unannounced inspection and certain protective procedures were mandated.

Fly Fishers to meet June 9 The Fredericksburg Fly Fishers will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 9 at the Fredericksburg EMS Building, 221 Friendship Lane. Mike Emerson, Texas state coordinator for Reel Recovery, will be speaking at 7 p.m. during the meeting. Reel Recovery is a group that runs retreats for men that had cancer or have cancer. They

work on outdoor treatments, such as fly fishing, to help them deal with the problems that come with cancer treatment or post-recovery treatment. Ties and lies will run from 6-7 p.m. and then a short business meeting will follow, prior to Emerson’s speech. For more information, visit www.FredericksburgFlyFishers.org.

LBJ State Park, Walmart to host fishing day June 4

Keller Williams agents who participated in a company-wide community service effort called RED Day include, from left, Jill Tabor, Krista Duderstadt, Tommie Bailey, Jamie

Sparks, Janice Fisher, Jason Patrick, Evan Stahl and Keri Salinas. They donated their time to the Fredericksburg Food Pantry on Tuesday, May 17. — Submitted photo

Keller Williams Fredericksburg agents celebrate RED Day here Eight Fredericksburg Keller Williams associates donated their time to the Fredericksburg Food Pantry as part of Keller Williams’ annual day of service dedicated to Renewing, Energizing and Donating (RED) to local communities. The company-wide event titled RED Day, which started in 2009, asks local associates to spend the day serving worthy organizations on the second Thursday of May. “RED Day is built on the belief that people can and should come together to achieve extraordinary things to help others,” said Jason Patrick, assistant team leader of Keller Williams, Fredericksburg. “This year, we unloaded pallets from the food truck and helped organize and restock the shelves. RED Day just happens to be a one-day expression of the constant state of the Keller Williams culture. We see a need, discover who can meet it, and get it done.” Those participating in RED

Day were Jill Tabor, Krista Duderstadt, Tommie Bailey, Jamie Sparks, Janice Fisher, Jason Patrick, Evan Stahl and Keri Salinas. Since the first RED Day in 2009, Keller Williams associates have given hundreds of thousands of hours of community service through activities ranging from food and blood drives to rebuilding homes and schools for community members in need. For more information about RED Day, visit kw.com. The Fredericksburg Food Pantry has been serving Fredericksburg and Gillespie County for over 20 years. The Food Pantry is an interdenominational Christian organization that is passionate about fighting hunger and supplementing needy Gillespie County residents’ food needs. They are completely dependent on local support to fulfill their mission of feeding those in need. The Keller Williams Realty

Fredericksburg Market Center, located at 1303 East Main Street, is a full-service real estate firm with 18 sales associates.

participants may bring their own equipment and favorite bait. Parents are encouraged to bring their children and enjoy a morning of fishing. It was noted that no dogs will be allowed at the event. The first Saturday in June of each year is designated as the annual “Free Fishing Day” and no person is required to possess a fishing license or stamp endorsement while fishing on that day on any public waters. No fishing license or stamp endorsements are required regardless of age, while fishing from the banks in a state park or in waters completely enclosed by a state park. Visitors are encouraged to

pack a picnic lunch and plan to spend the day. Visitors can enjoy the outdoors by walking the nature trails to see the wildflowers and animals, enjoy free fishing on the banks of the Pedernales River, visit the presidential exhibits and see the historical film and take the self-guided tour to the LBJ Ranch and Texas White House. For more information, event, call 644-2252. Individuals can follow the park on Facebook at www. facebook.com/LBJSTATEPark@tpwd.texas.gov.

IRS scam calls Pretrial hearing scheduled in sexual abuse, indecency case blanket town ing. “It can scare some of our older residents,” said Leian Peterson, administrative assistant for Police Chief Steve Wetz. Peterson said it is still good to report the calls in the event a scammer is successful. “A report can back up a victim’s claims if a financial dispute is referred to a credit bureau,” she said. “Officers will tell them to call credit bureaus or creditors, because once these scammers get a driver’s license or Social Security number, then it can potentially damage their credit.” Callers are urged to hang up and not give out any information. Additionally, IRS agents will never: • Call to demand payment on the phone or call without having first mailed a bill. • Threaten to use local law enforcement to have people arrested for non-payment of taxes. • Demand payment without giving the opportunity to question or appeal the amounts in question. • Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.

There was a $75,000 bond set for the continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, a $20,000 bond set for the indecency with child by sexual contact (under 17) and bonds of $35,000 each for 12 offenses of sexual assault of a child (under 17). Unless there is a motion by his attorney for bond reduction and he bonds out of jail, Batterton will remain in the Gillespie County Jail until the hearing, said Assistant District Attorney Lucy Wilke. Charges Pseudonyms were used for the alleged victims in court documents. Batterton was charged with continuous sexual abuse of Louana Smith (alias), specifi-

The case went to the grand jury but was dismissed due to insufficient evidence. The case was reopened after the recent indictments, according to police. Batterton has had misdemeanor traffic violations in 2005, 2006 and 2011. He also filed a restraining order against a woman in January of 2014 and a change of name for a minor child.

A rash of fraudulent phone calls claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has hit the area, according to police, residents and one local accountant. “We had eight clients either come in or call yesterday saying they had received these calls,” said Marc Jacobi, CPA, on Friday. “Most of our clients know it’s a scam but we did have one client who sent in money last year.” Jacobi said the calls are traced to either Indonesia or the Northeastern U.S. “We’ve traced them to a call center that apparently specializes in fraudulent credit card collections,” Jacobi said. “One client was urged to drive to the Walgreen’s in Kerrville, purchase more than $2,000 in debit cards and then read them back to the caller,” Jacobi said. “They were told if they did not, they would be picked up in a squad car.” Citizens are urged to report the calls to law enforcement.

Yes, my wife has MS Go ahead, ask me about it By Joe Kammlah

My wife can’t cry. Don’t get me wrong. My wife, Diane Kammlah, is still as emotional as she ever was. She used to cry at sad occasions, at joyous celebrations, and even stupid commercials. If you don’t believe me, you will when I tell you her favorite movie, which she will watch endlessly, is “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Yes, my wife is emotional but don’t expect her to shed a tear. She has multiple sclerosis (MS). I tell you this because Wednesday, May 25, is World MS Awareness Day. The National MS Society estimates 2.3 million people around the world have this autoimmune disease, called an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. In the disease, your own antibodies attack your own cells, creating lesions which disrupt the nervous system. When Diane was diagnosed with MS in 2007, one physician described the disease at its simplest. “Imagine taking your pen knife and scraping off the outer covering of one of your appliance cords and exposing the copper wiring,” he said. “With multiple sclerosis, the outer layer (myelin sheath) is attacked by ones’ own antibodies, thereby, disrupting your nervous system from conducting messages properly.” In Diane’s case, the most outward sign is in her right leg forcing her to walk with a cane or using a scooter. But there are unseen symptoms. The lesions in the brain also cause cognitive issues such as dropping words in a sentence. All MS patients have a low tolerance to extreme heat. A patient may experience a sudden electric shock. “The hardest thing is that you can’t see it. So you don’t

Sports camps and leagues for high school, middle school and preschoolers are being offered through the Fredericksburg Independent School District Community Education Program. Students who like to play softball or basketball may want to join a league or attend a camp. Those looking for less strenuous activities may want to consider learning how to crochet or play Mah-Jongg. To register and for additional information, call Carol Reeh, director, at 830-9977182.

Multiple Sclerosis Foundation statistics • More than 400,000 people in the United States and 2.5 million people around the world have multiple sclerosis (MS). • Two hundred new cases are diagnosed each week in the United States. • Rates of MS are higher farther from the equator. It’s estimated that in southern states (below the 37th parallel), the rate of MS is between 57 and 78 cases per 100,000 people. • The rate is twice as high in northern states (above the 37th parallel), at about 110 to 140 cases per 100,000. • The incidence of MS is also higher in colder climates. • People of Northern European descent have the highest risk of developing MS, no matter where they live. • The lowest risk appears to be among Native Americans, Africans and Asians.

know what MS patients are dealing with,” Diane said. “It’s called the snowflake disease because no two are alike.” There is no cure, although some medications can help certain symptoms. Diane does not ask for pity but rather feels it important that people have

a better understanding of the ailment. Research continues for a cure or at least help. Recently, success has been seen with infusion of one’s own stem cells. “It’s important that people have a better understanding of MS. I know when people see

And when they do and I tell them I have MS, they are uncomfortable and I don’t want people to be uncomfortable,” Diane said. Ask questions, Diane says. “Don’t be afraid. You may know people with MS.”

50th anniversary of ‘Batman: The Movie’ to be celebrated at the LBJ Ranch, June 4 Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park will continues its outdoor summertime movie series at dusk on Saturday, June 4, with the showing of “Batman: The Movie,” starring Adam West at the LBJ Ranch near Stonewall. The film starts at dusk and will be presented on a large outdoor screen. Access to the ranch begins at 7 p.m. A mov-

ie trivia contest will precede the film. Prizes will be given out to trivia contest winners and the best dressed superheroes. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, refreshments and come dressed as their favorite superhero. The program is free of charge. Entry to the LBJ Ranch is located off U.S.

Highway 290 onto Ranch Road 1. Parking is available on the airstrip taxiway adjacent to the movie site. The Johnsons invited guests to their ranch to show some of the biggest blockbusters of the 1960s. For modern visitors, the “Movie Under the Stars” series is a great way to enjoy timeless classics while experiencing a fun-filled

night of family fun on the LBJ Ranch — just like friends of the Johnsons experienced in the 1960s and 1970s, a spokesperson for LBJ Ranch said. This year marks the 50th anniversary of “Batman: The Movie.” The film was released in 1966 and features the Dynamic Duo facing off against the arch-villains of the Unit-

ed Underworld — the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, and the Catwoman — who plot to dispose of Batman and Robin and control the entire world with the help of a secret invention that instantly dehydrates people. The LBJ Ranch airplane hangar visitor center will be open from 7 p.m. through the end of the film. Visitors

are welcome to explore the interactive exhibits, shop the Western National Parks Association sales outlet and use the restrooms in the building. Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on park activities call 830868-7128, ext. 231 or 244, and visit www.nps.gov/lyjo.

The need for blood donations in South Texas and across the nation is growing. But according to information released recently by the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center, blood donations are on the decline. In fact, donations across the country are at their lowest point in more than 30 years, and they are down 21 percent in South Texas in the last four years alone. There is no substitute for blood. “We want people to know the need is real and ongoing,” said Elizabeth Waltman, chief operating officer of STBTC. “Blood is used in so many different kinds of therapies, and the patients needing blood depend on the generosity of the community to make lifesaving donations.” The report also shows that in an average year, 38 percent of the population of the United States is eligible to donate blood — but just four percent of the

population actually makes a donation. These donors make possible more than 11 million blood components for patients every year, 300,000 of them in South Texas alone. “Now more than ever, we need people to step up and give blood,” Waltman said. The largest percentage of red blood cell transfusions in a year are used in internal medicine, 28.5 percent. Another 19.2 percent go to cancer treatment, and 9.5 percent of the transfusions are for trauma cases. Historically, blood collections go down during the summer because of vacations and because people are out of their normal routines. School-related drives cease during the summer. The emergence of Zika as a significant health risk is expected to reduce the number of eligible donors by an additional two percentage points. The Zika virus, which can cause serious birth defects, is transmitted by mosqui-

toes, though sexual contact and via blood transfusions. Zika is being actively spread by mosquitoes in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and virtually all of South America. STBTC already is asking donors who have traveled to countries where the virus is actively being spread by mosquitoes to delay their donations by 28 days once they return. And beginning July 1, STBTC will test all blood donations for Zika. “If the health department identifies a mosquito transmitted case of Zika in our service before testing is in place, it could have a very serious impact on our ability to collect and provide blood throughout South Texas,” said Dr. Samantha Gomez Ngamsuntikul, associate medical director at the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center. Statistics for the report came from STBTC records and the AABB, the trade association for U.S. blood banks.

Later, on his way to the Alamo Archives, Blocker ran into a group of men with hats which read “National LCI Association.” Some knew of the events that LCI-449 had been through and sent Blocker information pertaining to them. During the past 15 years, he interviewed more than 300 World War II veterans who were associated with his grandfather’s gunboat group.

MEMORIAL: Blocker to give keynote Keynote speaker for the event will be Dennis Blocker. Born into an Air Force family, Blocker traveled the globe and attended Department of Defense schools. Because of this background, he developed a love of country and appreciation of the military. Blocker has worked in San Antonio emergency rooms for the past 17 years as a medic. Twelve of those years were in a level one trauma center. While off duty, he pursued another quest involving his own family, which brought him into a close involvement with this museum. The discovery on the fly leaf of a book of the name of the vessel his grandfather served on, LCI-449, began the process. Through research, Blocker found that his grandfather

SPORTS Harper knocked out of UIL 2A softball playoffs Lady Longhorns lose 10-0 to Weimar By Danny Hirt

Although Harper got off to an aggressive start, in the end it was Weimar’s base-hitting prowess that carried the day in Friday’s UIL Region IV 2A semifinal softball playoff game. The Ladyhorns fell by a 10-0 margin in a one-game series that was ended in the bottom of the sixth inning under the mercy “run” rule. Ironically, it was the same Weimar team that bounced HHS from the playoffs last year, taking both games, The contest was played in the Wimberley ISD baseball/ softball complex. “We missed on some opportunities early and made a few mistakes that Weimar was able to take advantage of — and that’s what great teams do,” said Harper head coach Scott Vasquez. “We felt if we could keep it close, we would have a chance, and for four to five innings, we were in the game. The girls played hard and were working on every pitch.” Later this week, Weimar will take on Shiner in the regional finals. Shiner topped Kaufer in a best-of-3 series, 15-1 and 144, to advance. Weimar 10, Harper 0 The Weimar Ladycats, the semifinal contest began on a high level, highlighted by Harper’s lead-off batter, Julia Mauldin, in the top of the opening frame. As a relief pitcher in the playoff contest, the junior was tagged with the loss. Mauldin powered the game’s opening pitch to right centerfield for a single, then reached second on a fielding error, and the Ladyhorns were in business — or so they thought. But this is when the wheels began to fall off Harper’s band

Next batter Mercy Garcia laced a base hit to center, but was soon erased when she was nailed trying to steal second base. Morgan Baethge then struck out on a called third strike to end the Harper threat. With both teams executing playoff-level defenses, the scoreboard remained at zero until the bottom of the fourth frame. Weimar lead-off batter, Makayla Kunz, exploded on a 0-1 pitch, sending it back over the left field fence for a home run and giving the Ladycats a

1-0 lead. Later in the stanza, Micaela Mangum knocked in a couple of runs with a wellplaced line drive past the third baseman, putting Weimar up, 3-0. The Ladyhorns were unable to mount a comeback in the fifth as they went down in order. The top half of the sixth stanza had promise when Mauldin reached first after being hit by a pitch. But she was left stranded at second when the next three batters were retired in order — on a pair of ground-

outs by Garcia and Baethge, then a pop fly in foul territory by Logan Menzies. Trailing by a survivable 3-0 score, Harper struggled defensively in the last half of the sixth, allowing the first four Weimar batters to reach on three hits and an error, and boosting the WHS score to 5-0. The Ladycats kept utilizing hard-hit balls to eventually raise the score to 10-0 and invoke the mercy rule to end the game. Harper 000 000 - 0 Weimar 000 307 - 10

Faith Baptist Church will host Alpha Omega Institute representatives Dave and Mary Jo Nutting, Sunday, June 12. Church officials say the specific time of that day for the event has not been set yet. The church is at 3022 Texas 16 North (Llano highway), three miles from Main Street. The meeting is free, but a love offering will be taken for the institute. On its website, AOI describes itself as “an educational organization dedicated to teaching the Biblical and scientific evidence of creation throughout the world.” Dave Nutting is AOI’s cofounder and director. He is a former evolutionist who “evolved” into a creationist after studying the scientific issues. He has been giving creation seminars at churches, uni-

versities, public, and private schools for almost 30 years, with audiences ranging from young children to groups of medical students and doctors. Before establishing AOI, he taught both on the high school level and at several colleges/universities. He holds advanced degrees in mathematics and in geology. Mary Jo Nutting is the cofounder and assistant director of AOI. Together with her husband, Dave, she has traveled and taught creation for more than 27 years. Mrs. Nutting has a master of science degree in biology, with a heavy concentration in science education. She has taught at the high school and college level, and has also home-schooled their two sons.

Lights. Camera. Action. Pecan Grove: Open “Do you like green beans?” I knew I knew the fellow sitting at the end of the bar asking about my vegetable proclivities, but couldn’t remember how I knew him. I considered my answer, then replied, “I guess I like green beans, if they’re not tough and stringy.” He got up from his barstool and walked me over to a wall of grocery items at the back of the newly re-opened Pecan Grove Store. He pulled down a can of Kirkland Organic Cut Green Beans. “You gotta try these,” he said. “These are the best green beans you’ll ever eat. I like ’em so much, I even drink the bean water.” I hadn’t stopped into the Pecan Grove Store intending to buy green beans, but in a way that episode perfectly illustrates the character of this “new” place to gather. Old-timers probably remember the convenience store/service station/ice house/bar/dance floor from the 1950s through ’80s when Lawrence Segner owned it. Clayton Grona was sitting outside the day I stopped, and he recounted how locals gathered here after work to have a cold beer and catch up on local news. “All the neighbors stopped here to drink a beer,” Grona remembered. “If there were four people, everybody bought a round. If there were 10, everybody bought a round, so you might be here for awhile.” One of those stopping by for a cold beer and deer sausage back in the 1970s was a young Rick Martin. When Rick and Becky Martin moved back to the Hill Country in 1998, he drove by “the old Segner place” and

Fredericksburg High School Class of 2016 members were urged on Sunday night to take their cue from the world of film. Lights. Camera. Action. “Apply these words to you and what you are about to do,” the Rev. Clint Pluenneke of St. Paul and Holy Ghost Lutheran Churches told the seniors during baccalaureate services at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. • Lights. He urged the students to “always remember to flip the switch of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.” “Graduates, as you prepare for what is to come, let Jesus shine in you and through you,” he said. • Camera. “With the camera rolling, I want us to think about that lens — that perspective that we have as we look to the future with our hope and that lens of hope that we have in Christ,” Pluenneke said. “God is the ultimate director in the story of our lives,” he said. • Action. Pluenneke told the graduates that “God has incredible plans in store for each of you.” “Faith in action. Action in faith. It’s pushing the button to launch our lives in the pursuit of the dreams that God would have us to dream,” he said. Pluenneke said, “Class of 2016, no matter where your path leads you, may you always, always, find your way to the arms of our Savior Jesus Christ.” Baccalaureate services were sponsored by the Gillespie County Ministerial Association. Sunday’s service opened with the procession of graduates and worship leaders and included singing led by the Victory Fellowship Praise Band, scripture readings and prayers. Mary Ann Murchison was the pianist. The Rev. Bobby Vitek of Holy Ghost Lutheran Church is president of the Gillespie County Ministerial Association. Other clergy taking part were Msgr. Enda McKenna and the Rev. Krys Bytomski, St. Mary’s Catholic Church; the Rev. Dr. Ann Hoch, Memorial Presbyterian; the Rev. Casey Zesch, the Rev. Travis Meier and Kiesha Priem, Bethany Lutheran; the Rev. Alan Williams, Holy Ghost; the Rev. Arlie Lammers, retired, Disciples of Christ, and the Rev. Tommy Russell and Austin Loza, First Baptist.

Using a video camera to make his point, the Rev.

announced to his family, “I’m going to own that someday.” Last year, Martin did buy it. His son, Matt, who was five years old in 1998, now runs it. “They thought I was crazy, but I wanted to restore the place and use it to store my collection of old motorcycles and cars,” Rick Martin said. “Matt was in college, but said he wanted to open it as a bar. I said I’m fixing to retire, but it’s your gig. It’s all him.” So the father-son team dug in to restore it to more than its former glory. The place had been closed for 20 years, and the interior was gutted, but Rick wanted to put it back close to his memories. They brought back bars from the Midwest and cut them down to fit. The AC unit sits where the swamp cooler was. The shelves with the green beans (and Spam, and oil, and saltines, and other canned products) are original, and they found some of the old beer and oil company signs in the attic. The pole out front that used to hold the Sinclair station sign was still there, but the sign was gone. They found another Sinclair sign identical to the original, and even restored it to light up at night. Outside, they fixed up the beer garden along Marschall Creek, but the original dance floor is still there and in “perfect condition.” They even kept the original name, at the request of the Segner family. “That was like a gift,” Martin said. Telling his story, he can’t keep the grin off his face. It’s a sentiment shared by others. “It’s been a real surprise,” Martin said about the traffic coming by. “For being open only three months, we now sometimes have 50 or 60 people out here.” Matt notes it’s a mix of former customers and new ones. “I’ve had more than one person say they have met people out here they haven’t seen in 20 years,” he said. “And I’ve

Rick Martin (seated) and his son, Matt, bought and reopened the Pecan Grove Store four miles north of Fredericksburg on Texas 16 North. The Martins have tried to restore met classmates that I didn’t know were still in the state.” Doesn’t really matter if they know each other or not. Just like the man (who was silversmith Bill Bell, I finally figured out — after he told me) who sold me on the green beans (and they were everything he said — I went back the next day and bought three more cans): everybody knows everybody else as soon as they walk in the door. “I’ve never been in a bar where I walk in and the guy next to me starts talking,” Matt noted. “Here, it happens naturally.” And Rick Martin knows where the credit for that goes. “Lawrence is still here.” ______ Details: The Pecan Grove Store is

Annoyed, but not mad ‘Angry Birds Movie’ a hit-and-miss proposition

“T

he Angry Birds Movie,” released in theaters nationwide last weekend, is an attempt to revitalize a fledgling video game franchise. Angry Birds was the first game to hit smartphones that had universal appeal. Players launched red, yellow, blue and black birds with a slingshot in an attempt to destroy the homes of green pigs who took all the birds’ eggs. The film version of the original game follows the same basic principles. Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) has been isolated from the rest of the birds on his island due to his rage issues. He has been required to attend anger management classes along with speedy yellow bird Chuck (Josh Gad) and big black bird Bomb (Danny McBride). When a group of pigs led by Leonard (Bill Hader) come to the island, Red is suspicious of their motives, though none of the other birds believe him. The mundane, predictable script from Jon Vitti continues onward like the original mobile game, with increasing-

ly angrier birds. The one surprise in “The Angry Birds Movie” from a storytelling perspective is how thinly veiled the sexual innuendos and vulgarity are masked within jokes in the film. Other family-friendly films do a much better job of hiding jokes for parents, who have to sit through a children’s movie, than Vitti does. Using the word plucking to replace a curse word isn’t clever, original or even tasteful in a movie that will be seen by young eyes and ears. There’s a lot of voice talent within “The Angry Birds Movie,” though directors Clay Kaylis and Fergal Reilly don’t make the most of it. Oscar

winner Sean Penn is the most misused. He plays the gigantic red bird Terence. Aside from one line of real dialogue at the film’s conclusion, all Terrance does is growl. Other terrific voice actors — including “Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage, Maya Rudolph of “Saturday Night Live” and others — are underutilized. But when “The Angry Birds Movie” gets a voice part right, it knocks it out of the park. Sudeikis’ dry humor and vocal intonations are perfect for the weakly-written lead Angry Bird, Red. While the cynicism and wit he displays with Red aren’t on the same level as Jason Bateman’s superior turn as Nick Wilde in Disney’s “Zootopia,” Sudeikis offers a performance that’s a near approximation of the wise-cracking antihero motif. Veteran Broadway actor Gad returns to voice acting after being standout character Olaf in Disney’s megahit “Frozen.” There’s a fresh honesty in Gad’s voice that drives the humor from the speedster Chuck. The character resonates through-

Chuck (voiced by Josh Gad), Red (Jason film “The Angry Birds Movie,” based on the Sudeikis) and Bomb (Danny McBride) take on mobile app of the same name.. — Submitted a large group of thieving pigs in the animated photo out the film because of the vocal performance. From a visual perspective, Rovio Animation and Sony Pictures Animation do a remarkable job with the film. The companies pull the small animated characters out of phones and tablets and throw them on the big screen at a higher quality than could be expected. The terrific animators behind the film do a nuanced job with

all the major characters, even getting into the specific details of single feather movement on the birds as they fly around the big screen. It’s the one aspect of “The Angry Birds Movie” that could be considered on par with the top films in the animated genre. “The Angry Birds Movie” is little more than a crude attempt to push its mobile products. Yet it looks better than any film based on an app
