Living your
ou’re awed by Texas Hill Country beauty—its majestic landscape, its native wildlife, its alluring serenity. But you’re not willing to give up city living’s services and conveniences.
10 | July-August 2016 | Kerr County People
Now you can have it all in the Hill Country’s newest masterplanned community—The Heights of Kerrville. Scott Kocurek, Managing Director of The PNL Companies, leads development of The Heights. “The beautiful property’s unique location in the city on acreage lots makes it especially appealing.” RE/MAX Kerrville Broker/Co-Owner Kitty Cowden says, “I’ve lived in Kerrville all my life and I’ve never seen anything to compare with The Heights.”
dream in The Heights of Kerrville
City living, country style The Heights offers residents comfortable, country-estate living with all the conveniences of city services—electricity, water, and trash, along with the security of Kerrville Police and Fire Departments. The gated community’s 300 acres is only minutes away from medical services, including Peterson Regional Medical Center. Shopping is likewise just around the corner, as are schools, recreation, and entertainment. Within Kerrville city limits, The Heights’ two impressively landscaped entrances—one from Coronado Drive and the other off Harper Road near Interstate 10—welcome you to a scenic delight. The restful water feature at the Coronado entrance suggests the relaxed lifestyle that awaits you within the development. A property owner in The Heights, Cliff Bertholf agrees. “We were attracted to this development because it feels like it’s out in the country, nice and quiet, yet just a mile from Starbucks and Wal-Mart. After living in Kerrville thirteen years, it was time to upgrade our home—with more space inside and out. In The Heights we’ll have the best of both worlds. It’s exciting.” Future residents of The Heights can choose from expansive twoand-a-half to twelve acre lots, starting from $70,000. Spectacular views of tree-covered hills and quiet valleys grace the development’s fifty-seven lots. Six Hill Country-elegant spec homes, starting from $490,000, were designed and built to compliment nature’s surrounding bounty. Kitty notes, “Anderson-Jenkins Signature Homes is The Heights’
experienced custom home builder and offers in-house floor plan design. The fine craftsmanship in Anderson-Jenkins’ executive homes is recognized all over the Hill Country.” As a member of the Texas Custom Builders Guild, Anderson-Jenkins can offer clients the same wholesale pricing as the large corporate builders, while still doing business on a personalized scale. Plus, as a native Hill Country builder, they understand the look you want for your forever home. The Heights homeowner for a year, Randy Purswell says, “With our Anderson-Jenkins home we were able to check off all our boxes for what we wanted in a house—the design had everything we were looking for and a large lot with an awesome view. A big difference from the neighborhood we came from in Houston.” Property owners also have the option to bring their own home builder to The Heights. Architectural guidelines help ensure that all property values are maintained in a desirably esthetic community. “Our goal is to add value to the property,” continues Scott, “by setting a high standard to help the community get the very best start.”

The Hill Country’s newest master-planned community.
Step inside your dream home Kitty greets you on the covered porch at the model home’s front door. As soon as you step inside the exquisite Anderson-Jenkins home, your eyes are drawn to the magnificent view through the Great Room’s large windows. It’s easy to imagine yourself lounging on the covered outdoor patio beyond, watching spectacular sunsets as deer and antelope forage along the woods’ edge. There’s so much to appreciate here—Kitty encourages you to explore the 3,220 square feet of open-concept home with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and two living areas. An open kitchen countered with gorgeous granite is home to Bosch appliances and boasts a generous walk-in pantry. The versatile study could be converted to a fourth bedroom, while the three-car garage easily accommodates storage or a workshop. Behind the scene, Kitty points out more of the home’s attractive features—energy efficiency with open-cell foam insulation, 15 SEER Carrier HVAC, and instant hot water. Additionally, the locally-sourced materials for the 100% masonry finish help create a meaningful connection and integration between the home and its natural surroundings. Financing your dream home through locally owned and operated Security State Bank & Trust is the way to go for one-stop service. Senior Vice President and Loan Officer Kyle Priour can set you up with special lot financing, a construction loan, and a mortgage. The Hill Country’s bank since 1941, Security State is here to ensure you have what you need to make your dream come true in The Heights.
We have what you need to make your dream home come true.

Hometown ties Some folks have a knack for making you feel at home—like The Heights’ team. The Priour family is known for the foundation of the Hill Country Youth Ranch back in the 1970s. Kitty Cowden’s Kerr County roots run deep. In the 1860s her mother’s family, the Reals, settled in the Turtle Creek area and prospered in ranching. Kitty grew up on one of the family ranches in west Kerr County. Kitty, along with co-owner Becky McFadden, opened RE/MAX Kerrville in 1999. RE/MAX Kerrville regularly supports local kids’ athletics programs, American Cancer Society, Symphony of the Hills, and Hill Country District Junior Livestock Show. Scott Kocurek’s sister Jeannie Hilsabeck lives in Kerrville with her husband Guy, a Kerrville Police Officer. Jeannie has been a teacher and associated with education in Kerrville for many years. She is currently at Our Lady of the Hills High School. No wonder some places just feel like home.

H S E R F FOOD
Treat Yourself Body Treatments Designed to Detoxify, Rejuvenate, Exfoliate & Relax
by Kevin & Linda Pillow
Fresh Nyjer.
That is what you will need to feed the onslaught of lesser goldfinches about to descend upon your feeders. You most likely have seen a little less of these guys at your feeder station lately. That is because they are out enjoying what nature has to offer. But, come about mid-July or even a bit earlier, they will begin nesting. They are one of the latest nesters in the Hill Country. They nest late because they are one of the few species who do not feed their young insects, only seed. As nesting gets underway, they need a reliable food source which would be the flowers dying off. With that said, they, like any species, enjoy convenience. That’s where humans come into the equation. To attract them you will need fresh, clean Nyjer seed. Some may know it as thistle. It is not the nasty thistle that grows wild in fields. Nyjer is imported from Myanmar. It is heat treated so that it will not grow in your yard. The trick is that it must be fresh. Birds look for oil content in seed. So when seed is fresh it is seen by the birds as the colors of the rainbow—much like we see an oil slick on the ground. If seed is not fresh, they see it as a feeder full of rocks and will not go near it. Since it has been slow at the Nyjer feeders of late, you may not realize that it needs to be changed out. If in doubt, take out a few seeds and crush them with the back of a spoon on a piece of paper. If you see small dots of oil, it is still viable food. If not, throw it out and put in fresh.

Title Talk by Diane Green
Protecting Homeowners
Your All-Occasion Event Center
G
etting title insurance is one standard step you will take when purchasing a home. Title insurance is crucial for a home buyer because it protects you from the possibility that your seller doesn’t (or previous sellers didn’t) have free and clear ownership of the house and property and, therefore, can’t rightfully transfer full ownership to you. Even though the chance of calling on the insurance for coverage is relatively low, the value on what you stand to lose if you go without coverage is high—you could, in fact, lose the house itself.
What could happen if you don’t get title insurance?
Here’s how things could go wrong. In an extreme case, a seller could knowingly try to sell you a home he or she doesn’t own. There have been instances of renters posing as sellers. In other instances, the seller might have co-purchased the house ten years ago with a brother he hasn’t talked to since and is unaware that he now needs his brother’s signature to sell. Or a problem might be lurking in the more distant past. For example, the seller might have bought the place from a single woman, not realizing that her ex-husband still co-owned the property and hadn’t signed off on the sale as required. Or the seller might have inherited the house under the terms of a will that turns out to have been out-of-date and a more recent will leaves the house to someone else.

Not all title problems involve the whole house. For example, liens may have been filed against the house. People or agencies may have, within the public records, legally claimed the right to be paid from the proceeds of the property’s sale in order to settle the owner’s debt to them. Typical debts include taxes, child support, and contractor’s fees. These liens can stick to the house like glue until the liens are satisfied and released. Title Companies find and correct these title issues and more. Title companies are here to protect your dream of homeownership. Diane Green moved to Kerrville in 1972 with husband, Bob, and immediately began her title insurance career at Kerr County Abstract & Title Co. Diane and Bob enjoyed raising their children in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Diane has spent 42 years in the title business and is the owner of Kerr County Abstract.

ou have out-of-state guests coming. What to do? Freshen up the guest The list was long. Very long. So many places to go, to room, stock the fridge. Then what?
In addition to the usual preparations, you make a list of excursion options—at least that’s what this proud Native Texan (and even prouder of our ruggedly beautiful Hill Country) did when my sister, Mary Stewart, was making her first trip here in April.
see, to experience. Most were opportunities for Mary to choose from but, as far as I was concerned, one was written in stone—The Y.O. Ranch Headquarters’ minisafari. After all, who doesn’t love a safari. The folks at the Y.O. refer to it as their “Wildlife Tour,” but doesn’t mini-safari sound much more exotic? continue to next page Kerr County People | July-August 2016 | 27

First spotted were the greater kudus—large grayish-brown antelopes from Africa. The white lateral stripes down the sides of their bodies provide perfect camouflage in wooded areas. Kudu horns are spectacular, as long as seventy-two inches and making two and a half graceful twists. Next to appear were the scimitar-horned oryx, named for their magnificent curved horns several feet long. Though now considered extinct in the wild, we could imagine these large antelopes’ mostly white coats reflecting the desert heat in their native Africa.

“And what kind of deer is that?” Mary and I asked in unison. Debbie informed us that the unusual animal we saw was a Pere David’s deer, named after the French missionary who is considered to have saved the deer from the brink of extinction in China. It has been described as having the neck of a camel, hooves of a cow, tail of a donkey, and tall branching antlers of a deer. Bless his heart. The white-bearded gnu emerged next on our mini-safari. A type of wildebeest from Tanzania and Kenya, this guy is also a strange mix. You might think its forequarters and curving horns came from an ox, the hindquarters from an antelope, and the mane and tail from a horse. The long shaggy white beard is uniquely its own. continue to next page

A giraffe provided us with our grand finale. As the world’s tallest mammals, they’re notorious for their long necks and legs. But did you know that the beautifully spotted giraffe boasts a tongue measuring twenty-one inches— perfectly suited to stripping leaves and buds from treetops? And for plucking cookies from…well, you just have to see the photos to believe it. “Is that all?” you ask. Of course not, there is so much more, but you have to take the safari to find out. Young, old, or in between, you’ll love it. That’s my promise to you.
Bragging rights Before Mary headed back to Shreveport, I asked what her favorite thing on “the list” was (the ones we actually experienced—certainly didn’t make it to all). Reflecting on the week, she paused before answering. “It’s really tough to pick one. But if I have to pick, it would be the Y.O. tour.” I smiled (big) inside. Mission accomplished. The way I carry on, you might think I’m an owner of the Y.O. Ranch Headquarters—but it’s really just my old Texas pride about everything Texas. The Y.O. really does have something for everyone. Visit their website YORanchHeadquarters.com, follow them on Facebook—Y.O. Ranch Headquarters or call 830640-3222. 1736 Y.O. Ranch Rd, Mountain Home, Texas. Diane, publisher of this magazine, is a fourth generation (at least) Texan. She loves all things Texas.

Starting your
fall garden in the
summer
t’s that time of year to begin preparing for your fall garden! Yes, it is in the heat of the summer. If your spring garden swam away in the moist month of May, now is the time to get that green thumb back in the garden. Fall is actually a great time to have a vegetable garden. The spring storms are no longer with us and starting your second crop of tomatoes in July will ensure you’ll have tomatoes long into October. If you wait until August or September to plant tomatoes the first frost will likely have them instead. Choose an area that is sunny until about 3 in the afternoon—this way tomatoes have some shade in the August heat. We do know how hot it can get in August! It’s also a good time to plant the last squash, and cucumbers. round of peppers, squash If you’re lucky, a corn crop will give you plenty to eat and you’ll have the stalks for fall decorating.
garden areas ready for your fall crop plantings. It won’t be long before time to plant winter crops,so start adding compost to those beds they’ll be ready when the plants arrive. This is also a really good time to find your favorite swimming holes. Gardening in the cool of the day, or late evening with a quick dip in between!

Keeping brown hair gorgeous by Katie Davis
UV protection is important for brunettes. While natural brown pigments are able to convert UV rays into heat, in the long run the sun will still cause brunettes to appear pale. Brown hair must be protected from the sun’s rays— especially color-treated. UV rays fade artificial pigments faster than natural ones. Long-time UV exposure also weakens the hair. After changing your hair to a brown color you should use hair care products for colortreated hair. Such products tend to the color and give hair luster at the same time. You can also use leave-in treatments or cures, which are sprayed into still-damp hair. These treatments deepen the brown and produce warm light reflections. Chlorinated or copper-containing water may cause a visible green tinge in lighter browncolored hair. Most blondes know a home remedy for this—an acidic rinse of diluted lemon juice or aspirin dissolved in water. The brown color may lose its radiance
between touch ups—you can bring new highlights to your hair by using an ammonia-free tinting conditioner, which will rinse out and will not fundamentally change the color of your hair. The tinting conditioner will, however, add deep color with warm light reflections to your hair. Natural oils, such as olive or coconut, condition and help to build up the substance of every individual hair. The use of these oils is the ideal way for brunettes to condition for lasting natural shine. You will see the best results if you use a repair treatment with such natural shine boosters regularly.

for
Caregivers by Tina Woods
Caregiving for an elderly loved-one is an awesome and loving task. Few gifts are more valuable than time and attention. Far too often, though, the stress of caregiving creates health problems for the caregiver. Like oxygen masks on an airplane, caregivers must first care for themselves so they’ll be able to care for their loved one. Hard as it may be, it’s critical for caregivers to take a break so they can continue their important work. The Dietert Center’s “Take Five Club” can help. Caregivers bring their loved-one to the Club for structured activities, games, and lunch. It’s not adult day care—it’s better! We celebrate life and all that a person can still do. While their loved one enjoys the Club, caregivers have four hours to run errands or just relax.
all the activities and each other. Caregivers sometimes forget that it’s important for their loved-ones to get a break from them, too!” The Take Five Club meets Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and costs $35 per day. Scholarships are available. Prospective Club members should be able to socialize, be ambulatory (canes and walkers okay) and be continent. Call for a free DVD and see all the Club fun. Caregivers enjoyed more than 4,400 hours of rest last year while their loved-ones played at Dietert’s Take Five Club! Tina Woods is the Dietert Center’s Executive Director. Contact her at (830) 792-4044, ext. 247, or visit the Center’s website: www. dietertcenter.org.

PRMC Volunteer Auxiliary
The future belongs to . . . Look for a smiling teenager in a teal-colored “ELEVATING HEALTH AND EACH OTHER” T-shirt if you are at PRMC this summer. Any one of them could be your future technologist, nurse, doctor, rehab specialist, or phlebotomist.
Many see this summer program as a way to “preview” a possible career in healthcare, as well as an opportunity to give back to their community. PRMC encourages and welcomes those who want to pursue a career in healthcare.
These young people, representing area high schools—Tivy, Our Lady of the Hills, Bandera, Ingram Tom Moore, and Center Point—and one is home schooled—will be working one four-hour shift weekly, although some will work more. They are assigned areas of interest to them where possible, such as the Lab, Women’s Services, Acute Rehab Unit, Radiology, Rehabilitation Services, and the Ambulatory Care Center.
The summer Junior Volunteers are Yolanda Calderon, Sydney Castaneda, Matt Chmylak, Juan Cruces, Kit Davis, Tiffany Fausset, Andrew Lockwood, Corpus McKay, Olivia Milner, Dustin Paradee, Jack Parker, Valerie Stickler, Jessica Tran, and Jonathan Treibs.

Vitamin D: the sunshine vitamin
Vitamin D has been nicknamed the “Sunshine Vitamin” because the ultraviolet-B light from the sun activates the Vitamin D in our skin cells. Our bodies can make the required amounts of Vitamin D from the sun alone; however, decreased sun exposure because of cancer risks and our indoor work styles have led to widespread deficiency. The amount of Vitamin D that is converted from the sun varies according to the time of year, latitude and longitude of where you live, and skin color. Smaller amounts of Vitamin D can be found in food such as fish, liver, eggs, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, and natural cheese.
Vitamin D supplements should contain Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) because it is absorbed quickly, maintains blood levels of the active vitamin (25-hydroxyvitamin D) for a longer period of time than Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), and is more potent than Vitamin D2. Although the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is only 400 IU per day, some studies are finding the body’s requirement may be closer to 4000 IU per day. Because vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, toxicity can occur at high levels of supplementation. Studies are confirming that doses up to 10,000 IU per day in healthy adults are still nontoxic.
Vitamin D has long been known to prevent childhood rickets and to aid in intestinal absorption of calcium. Vitamin D deficiency has now been linked to a wide range of diseases including depression, schizophrenia, stroke, osteoporosis, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and several types of cancers including breast cancer. Several groups of people are at a higher risk of developing Vitamin D deficiency including elderly people, dark-skinned people, overweight or obese people, breastfed infants, and anyone who has limited sun exposure. A simple blood test at your doctor’s office can determine if you truly have a Vitamin D deficiency by testing the active form: 25-hydroxyvitamin D. The optimal level is about 60 ng/ mL. Since so many people are Vitamin D deficient, a blood test is not mandatory for supplementation.

Using Reiki to Balance Body and Mind
a focus on Veterans This past June, Kerrville invited eight families for the Annual Wounded Warrior Family Hill Country Adventure. Our community welcomed them with gratitude for their service and the sacrifice they’ve made for our nation. I was grateful to be one of many who volunteered time, services, goods, or events for these deserving families. Achieving balance in any situation can be challenging. Imagine what our Veterans must go through every day in pursuit of balance in their lives. Many suffer with chronic physical pain from injuries sustained in the line of duty. Others bear the heavy burden of the invisible Reiki Master Anne Schneider

wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and traumatic brain injury. In 2011, 89% of VA Medical Centers used alternative therapies. Fortunately there’s a growing awareness among traditional clinicians that complementary therapies can help support their conventional medical and psychological treatments. Reiki is one of many excellent integrative therapies available to our Veterans. This non-intrusive, hands-on technique promotes relaxation and supports healing at multiple levels.
What Reiki can do for all of us • catalyze the body’s natural ability to heal • reduce stress—physically and emotionally—through relaxation • reduce pain, especially chronic pain • stimulate the immune system • aid recovery after physical therapy and workouts

How come
Texans are so dad-blamed proud of
Texas? by Jim McLaughlin
44 | July-August 2016 | Kerr County People
In late 1900 and early 1901, a fellow named Patillo Higgins drilled a well on Spindletop Hill in Beaumont, Texas. On January 10, 1901, at a depth of 1,139 feet, the well blew in and sent a column of oil 150 feet into the air. It took nine days to cap the flow, and that one well produced over 100,000 barrels of oil per day. Within a year, there were over 200 similar wells in the Beaumont area. Both the Texas Company (Texaco) and the Gulf Oil Company were formed to develop the Spindletop Field. The East Texas Oil Fields followed within a few years, and later, vast quantities of oil were discovered in West Texas. Texas is agrarian. Some talented merchants, a few astute businessmen, and a smattering of professionals––doctors, lawyers, and the like–– prospered in the state, but most people in those days were farmers or ranchers, living on, and off, the land. My dad’s parents were typical. With thirteen children, they scratched out a living on eighty acres in the backwoods, up near the Red River. At Christmastime, the little ones got penny candy, an orange, an apple, and maybe a half-dozen pecans. My ancestors did not strike oil, but many folks in similar circumstances did. Consider the case of Granddad’s forty-year-old neighbor––I’ll just call him “Tex”––who had a wife and eight children. He farmed eighty acres of rocky Texas soil with a Georgia stock plow and a mule. If Tex worked hard and it rained, he might net $500 in a good year. No matter how hard he worked, if it did not rain, he went down to the local bank with his hat in his hands. And it did not rain a lot. One day, some big city dudes came by and offered to lease Tex’s land for $5 an acre and allow him to keep a full one-eighth of whatever oil they found. He nervously signed, mainly because of the lease payment. Tex had never seen $400 in one place at one time. The dudes hit a gusher, followed quickly by several more.
Oil, at the time, was worth almost a dollar a barrel. Tex bought some drilling rights from his neighbors and within six months, ol’ Tex was making $8,000.00 a day, seven days a week, thirty days a month, 365 days a year. His wife got her dream home and Tex put a shiny new washing machine on the front porch. His kids, as they came of age, got new sports cars––foreign jobs. The local bank asked him to be on the board of directors. Tex went to Neiman-Marcus in Dallas and bought 365 pairs of socks. He had promised himself, if he ever got rich, he would wear a brand new pair of socks every day. In Tex’s mind, that was the ultimate luxury. When Tex was forty-two, he bought an airplane and learned to fly. He liked it so much, he bought a bigger airplane. Tex called his wife “Mama” and took her to New York City to shop and see Broadway shows. He drank Jack Daniels whiskey and smoked Cuban cigars. He wore alligator boots and Stetson hats and talked long and loud. In fancy restaurants, he ordered $100 bottles of champagne and told the waiter to “keep ’em coming.” What’s the good of being rich if you can’t show off? This windfall didn’t just happen that one time. Over a period of years, it happened thousands of times, to Texans from all walks of life in all sorts of financial situations. Each handled the event in his or her own way, most without ostentation, but many reacted exactly like Tex. The trickle-down effects of the oil money boosted the economy of the whole state and everyone shared to some extent in the overall prosperity. Tex always knew, in his heart of hearts, that he didn’t deserve all that money, but he was not about to give it back. He continued to live large until the wells slowly began to dry up. One day, he discovered that he owed more than he could possibly repay, and his legal team advised him to declare bankruptcy. He told everyone who would listen, “Them stupid, ignorant bankers loaned me more money than I could pay back.”
Tex, and hundreds of people like him, traveled all over the world spreading big tips, cigar ashes, and whiskey bottles as self-appointed goodwill ambassadors for the state of Texas. They created the stereotypical image of a loud, obnoxious Texan that permeates popular literature, media, and consciousness. They also did something much more important for their state. These oilmen demonstrated to a bunch of hungry young Texans that anything is possible. They built a fire-in-the-belly ambition into several generations of farm kids growing up in near poverty. Men like Tex became role models. They showed us that there is always a way out and we don’t have to accept our fate as so many of our ancestors did. We can do better. We can amount to something. We don’t have to hang our heads. We can stand up and look any man in the eye. Tex, and others like him, gave us ambition, optimism, and attitude. If we don’t strike oil, there are lots of other ways to succeed. We know the formula. All we need to do is choose a path and work like hell. After all, this is Texas. Jim was born in Lubbock County, Texas in 1936 and now resides in Kerrville. As a proud fifth-generation Texan, Jim studies and writes about Texas history, with a bit of humor thrown in.

Friends’ Bookstore Open for Business by Skye Alexander
“We didn’t know you were here,” say many first-time visitors to the Friends of the Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library’s bookstore. Indeed, the bookstore has been one of the best-kept secrets in town––but the Friends are doing their best to change that. Located on Level 1 of the library, the recently renovated bookstore has an extensive collection of hardcover, paperback, coffee table, gift, large print, and children’s books available at about one-tenth their retail prices. You’ll also find lots of audiobooks, CDs, and DVDs on the shelves. Everything has been donated from private collections or retired from the library. Individuals can bring in gently used books during bookstore hours, or leave boxes on the loading dock. “In addition to our books being at ‘sale’ prices all the time, we have special sales on different kinds of books each month,” says bookstore manager David McCormick. At a time when e-books are gaining popularity and brick-and-mortar bookstores are closing their doors, “This is a major resource in Kerrville for paper books,” points out former librarian and bookstore manager Carol Wichman. Gotta have friends A nonprofit, 100-percent volunteer organization, the Friends of the Library raise money to support literacy programs in our community. Proceeds from the bookstore help fund a summer reading program and educational events––free to children and their families––plus
a Lego club, crafts activities, and movies for all ages. Currently, the Friends are working to improve a program that provides books to local newborns and their parents. They also ship books to servicemen and women stationed overseas and around this country. The Friends have 300 members and eighteen enthusiastic volunteers who generously put in nearly 1,000 hours working in the Friends’ bookstore in 2015––and that doesn’t include all the time they spent bringing programs, events, and services to the people in our area. “We’re always looking for volunteers and new members who want to help their community with literacy projects,” says membership director Dani Brady. Reading aloud to grownups Remember how much you enjoyed being read to as a child? On Saturday, September 10, the Friends will host a day of readings by local writers for adults. Come listen to poets, essayists, novelists, and other authors read their work. Authors will have books for sale and signing, and the bookstore will be open. Would you like to be considered as a reader? Please submit a piece that takes no longer than ten minutes to read to the FOL Events Committee, P.O. Box 293342, Kerrville, TX 78029 or e-mail it to FOBHML@gmail.com with “Submission” in the subject line. Check the Friends’ Facebook page and blog <FOBHML.blogspot.com> for more information. The Friends’ bookstore is open every Wednesday from 1–3 P.M. and the second Saturday of each month from 10 A.M.–4 P.M.
