Nearly 300 area youth representing 26 area high schools, including Boerne High School and Comfort High School, gathered at Kendall County’s Joshua Springs Park and Preserve Wednesday, Oct. 8 to participate in the Texas FFA Area 7 Fall 2014 Career Development Event. This is the second time Joshua Springs has hosted the group. According to the Texas FFA Association, Career Development Events build on what is learned in agricultural classes and encourage members to put their knowledge into practice. The events are designed to help members prepare for a career in agriculture by testing the student’s technical, leadership, interpersonal and teamwork skills as well as their knowledge of the subject matter. Area 7 stretches from Brackettville in the

west, north to Paint Rock, east to Georgetown and Florence, southeast to Gonzales and south to Natalia. Area 7 includes San Antonio and Austin. The top five finishers advance to the state competition at Tarleton State University in Stephenville in April. The results of the CDE are available at judgingcard.com/Area 7 Fall CDE. Tim Tatsch of Hondo ISD, one of the event officials, said the park hosted a couple of workshops previously which led to its selection this year. �Everyone likes the facilities,� Tatsch said, including the restrooms and large pavilion where the awards ceremony was held. “There are lots of native plants,� he noted, which were utilized in the event. In the range and pasture evaluation segment, a pasture was evaluated on the basis of the characteristics of the soil and observations of landscape conditions. Team

Early voting for the Nov. 4 general election is underway and will continue through next Friday, Oct. 31. During the first three days of early voting, just 1,793 citizens cast ballots out of 26,740 registered in the county. In the last comparable election - the 2010 governor’s race - 2,470 cast early ballots over the first three days out of 24,465 registered voters. With voter participation running well below the last comparable election, Decker said, “We were expecting a higher turnout. I just hope the loss of turnout we’ve seen over the first three days of early voting picks up over the next weekand-a-half. I really don’t want us to have less than we had in 2010.� Election office officials use past comparable elections to gauge voter turnout. According to Decker, the voting process has gone smoothly so far, and the state law requiring voters to show a valid photo ID at the polls has caused no problems. “People are coming prepared with the photo ID,� she said. In addition to the bitterly-contested gubernatorial race between Republican Greg Abbott and Democrat Wendy Davis, voters statewide will decide on a constitutional amendment called Proposition 1 on the ballot. If passed, Prop 1 would divert half the general revenue from oil and gas production taxes to use for non-toll road construction and maintenance.

Lois is survived by her son Charlie Phillip and wife Karan of Boerne and their children Chad and Chandler Phillip and Stephanie Madriz of Boerne. Lois is survived by her late son John Wayne’s daughter, Kelley Phillip Hughes and husband A.G. and their children Haydn and Clayton Hughes. Lois is also survived by her nephews, Arthur “Bill� Noll and wife Linda of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Robert Reynolds and wife Linda of Bandera; her niece, Kathleen Ann Reynolds of Sherman, Texas; and numerous great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins. Lois is preceded in death by her parents, all of her siblings, her husband Harold, and their son John Wayne Phillip. Lois was a very hard-worker. She enjoyed tending to her flowers, gardening, and home canning and baking. She loved helping outside with the chickens, sheep, goats, cattle and horses. Ranch dogs, like some of the many “Queenies� and Missy, were a big part of her heart. She and her family have been longtime members of St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church. During her final days, she was more worried about not being able to help with the outside chores and not being able to take care of everyone else’s needs, thus her obsession with prayer and St. Francis de Sales. A visitation will be held Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014, from 5 to 7 p.m. with Recitation of the Rosary at 6:30 p.m. at Ebensberger-Fisher Funeral Home.

How short is your memory? Nov. 4 is close and we better start digging deep into our fact storing computer brain. How we vote will determine the redistribution of power in our government we so desperately need after the last six years of the destructive liberal policies of the Obama regime. I remember well the ‘Fast & Furious’ Caper - the selling of high powered firearms to drug cartels in Mexico who tortured one of our federal agents the U.S. Government sent over there undercover and because of government ineptness, his cover was blown. Our government murdered our own agent! I will never forget Benghazi and the murder of our ambassador and three American soldiers who died defending him (after being told to stand down-not go to their aid) while Obama and Hillary Clinton, one of Obama’s top guns, sat in Washington watching the whole thing thru satellite transmission and received military reports - for more than seven hours - turned down the pleas for help. What kind of people are they to deliberately send them to their deaths and why! Hillary Clinton resigned when she got into hot water with lies and her flippant statement at a CSPAN airing of a Congressional Hearing, “What difference does it make who killed them?” The “difference” was the lie - the video - Hillary, Rice, and Obama publicized over and over as the reason for this tragedy, which apparently didn’t make a bit of difference to them! This is representative of core values of the Democrat platform - throw whomever under the bus for political expediency - a 2012 Election. Four lives! I remember Judicial Watch’s probe that uncovered the smoking gun in June - the IRS records. The IRS scandal and their coercion of the Tea Party to intimidate them with deliberate and illegal delays in requirements for applications for nonprofit status just before the 2012 elections. It effectively, stymied the Tea Parties public campaign against Obama and the Democrats. Judicial Watch found records of where Lois Lerner discussed with the FEC the jailing of Obama opponents in the 2012 election year. Lois Lerner, IRS, another Obama top gun, pleaded the fifth in

GUEST COMMENTARY

By Ivy D’Spain

Congressional Hearings directed at her illicit and fraudulent actions in this scandal. She resigned amid the heat on her. Lerner had also teamed up with then Attorney General Eric Holder, who lent his misused authority to the debacle. Remember also the Federal National Security Agency’s collusion in this fraud of Constitutional law, illegally providing private citizens information to Lerner for her illegal use against the Tea Party. Congressional Hearings are still actively investigating all of these events. Judicial Watch has pending suits against the Government with Holder’s correspondent misusing the DOJ authority to stop legal IDs being used to assure honest elections. He is currently defying Supreme Court rulings against his coercion of states that require IDs of legal voters to vote in any state or federal election. Holder refuses to turn over paperwork the courts have ordered him to provide Judicial Watch in their suits on voter fraud. Obama won Colorado in 2008, with more than 3,100 votes cast than the total registered to vote. That’s blatant voter fraud! They lie when they state there has not been rampant voter fraud. Check out www.judicialwatch.org as to where there has been voter fraud in key states that can swing a federal election. Remember how Obama passed the Affordable Healthcare Act against 71 percent of Americans opposed to his healthcare and the Internet security breach that followed with millions of Americans’ private information made available to the world. Another top gun, Kathleen Sebelius was the engineer of the train that crashed the first day of public operation for registration. She couldn’t take the heat from hearings on her involvement in that fiasco either! She Resigned! All of these women rose to the top

in government jobs. Yet, women are abused? No! We have been constantly hearing that worn-out Democrat theme, from the 60s and 70s, “Women are not equally treated.” They don’t receive equal pay, status or recognition comparative to men, which is a ploy to stir up women to vote for the messengers - the Democrats. If this is all they can “dig up” - its pathetic. Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner, Kathleen Sebelius, who held top positions, and others too numerous to mention puts paid to the abuse farce. If it’s not “women’s rights” - it’s “racism” they use to color every political campaign and issue in this country. They use the minorities and the ‘politically uneducated’ masses to further their hidden political agenda. And as a woman and independent thinker I’m tired of it and certainly won’t vote for the tripe Democrats that are grinding out of their liberal paper mills for public consumption. We can’t forget the open border policy where Obama has ordered the INS to stand down on stopping all Aliens illegal entry into the United States with diseases, terrorist or drug cartel members among them. What can they be thinking? With 440,000 individuals and 85,000 of them known felons coming across the Texas border not counting Arizona, New Mexico and California’s illegals. This is but a limited rendition of the lies and corruption this administration has perpetrated on the American people. There are still a few conservative Democrats who will vote against this kind of unethical behavior - on their own volition. Some are talked down by the liberals, now in control of their party. We should not accept dishonest rhetoric nor promote it with our vote. Our vote is sacrosanct. It is a private free choice we are given by the Constitution and not by either of the two parties! When it comes down to the bottom line - it’s “the peoples right to govern” this country by our vote. We must REMEMBER the past failures so that we do not repeat them. I never miss voting in any election and I am proud to show my legal identification that says I am an American and the Constitution gives me that voting right.

Prop 1, an investment in state’s economic future Boerneites and Texans will have the opportunity to make a critical investment in our state’s economic future and the safety of the traveling public by supporting Proposition 1 in the Nov. 4 election. The official ballot title looks like this: “The constitutional amendment providing for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in completion of transportation construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads.” Here’s the plain-speak on what the proposition is, the definition of “certain money” and how it will be used: The measure would divert half of the general revenue derived from oil and gas taxes from the Economic Stabilization Fund, also known as the Rainy Day Fund, to the State Highway Fund for the purpose of providing transportation funding for repairs and maintenance of public roads. It’s anticipated that this will result in approximately $1.7 billion per year going towards transportation funding instead of the Rainy Day Fund. If

GUEST COMMENTARY

Jeff Haberstroh Boerne-Kendall County representative, Alamo Area MPO Policy Board approved, the measure would take effect immediately, once the votes are certified, and would apply to transfers the state comptroller made after September 1, 2014. In essence, the bill takes monies that are currently sitting unused in the state’s coffers and passes them over to the Texas Department of Transportation to assist with repairs and maintenance of roads throughout Texas. Proposition 1 represents the single largest revenue increase to the State Highway Fund in Texas history, and our region can expect to see approximately $650 million of those funds. This measure will provide much-needed funding for our aging and congested roadways and will do so without raising taxes,

charging new fees or using tolls. Texas is expected to add 18 million people by 2040. Boerne and Kendall County expect to receive 29,400 new citizens. That’s in addition to the 33,400 residents today. Based on the current 1.1 registered vehicles per citizen, that means an additional 33,000 vehicles on our county roads by 2040. If approved by voters, Proposition 1 authorizes additional Texas transportation funding - without new taxes, tolls or fees - that can only be used for construction, maintenance, rehabilitation and acquiring right-of-way for public roads. These funds cannot be used for toll roads. HB 1, a related bill approved by the Texas Legislature in 2013, put these requirements in place. So, I urge you join me in support of Proposition 1, and vote now during early voting or on Nov. 4 to provide needed funds for our high priority projects in Boerne and Kendall County. The funds received will go towards making needed improvement to Highway 46 east and the Highway 46 Bridge over Interstate 10 on the west side. wonderful showing for Kendall County at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas.

Approximate issue rate will be one permit to twenty acres. The deer census lines for Kendall County showed a deer to 6.5 to 7 acres. This is a decrease from the 1963 census which indicated a deer to about 3.5 to 4 acres.

The delay was prompted by the fact that the increase could not be applied to out-of-city customers at this time. Natural gas rates to ultimate consumers outside of the incorporated area are closely regulated by the Railroad Commission. Changes in rates can only become effective after a public hearing and a rate determination by the Railroad Commission.

Viewpoints Sticks and Stones Politicians who cry wolf We will all have the freedom to continue breathing some of the most polluted air and drinking the most polluted water in the nation. No overreaching job-killing environmental protections for Texas! You will continue to be free from pesky details about how state money is spent. The Good Old Boy system of covering up kickbacks and payoffs to their cronies will continue to be shielded from view. No worries. What you don’t know won’t hurt you. For those of you who work for minimum wage, look forward to more of the same. You will not have any extra money to spend, which will create a drag on the Texas economy. But hey, not your problem. Texas will continue to rail against federal handouts, but shhhhhh. We don’t want anyone to know that Texas receives more federal money than any blue state. In fact, the blue states are supplying federal dollars for us while we continue to duck our responsibilities. Our state legislators will continue to scream about government overreach while quietly taking all that money to the bank. To sum it up, beware of grandiose statements about any candidate or any party. You can paint a glowing picture of Greg Abbott and the Republican Party just as you can create a Wicked Witch of the West caricature of Wendy Davis and the Democratic Party. Neither are true. If you look beyond the hate-filled or sugar-coated sound bites surrounding each candidate, the bottom line is: which policies do you want Texas to move forward with into the future? The truth is, neither I nor any of my Democratic friends in Kendall County are godless, opportunistic, secular outsiders, nor have we been sent here by Obama to destroy the state of Texas. Most of us have grown up here or have been here a long time. We even sit next to you in church on Sundays! I resent the implication that those of us who are working so hard for Wendy and Leticia are scary boogeymen. We live here just like you. We are average citizens just like you. We are just fed up with the unethical business-as-usual policies of Texas. We want what is right. We want what is fair. We want justice for all, not just those who are politically connected. We finally see a chance to change some of the corruption, cronyism and backdoor deals that are commonplace in Texas. Come on, ya’ll, Texas can do better. Jana Fite is a retired teacher and a member of the Kendall County Democratic Club.

PROGRESSIVE VIEWS Jana Fite KENDALL COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Oh my goodness, last week I found out that I am a godless, opportunistic, secular outsider and an Obama operative! ‘Scuse me folks, I was laughing so hard I spit coffee out my nose on that one. Last week’s Republican column had me wondering what had happened to me! Well, folks, I am none of those things. That was some pretty scary sounding stuff. If the idea was to scare you into thinking that something horrendous is going to happen if you don’t vote for Greg Abbott, then I guess it served its purpose and it was a great column. It is easy to make grandiose and sweeping statements about Greg Abbott that make him sound like he is the Lone Ranger coming to the rescue. But let’s examine what will really happen if you vote for Greg Abbott. The educational system of Texas will continue to flounder. Money for education, which continues to be cut, will be cut even more. The idea of privatization of education will continue to take hold. College costs will continue to increase as money for higher education dries up. The good news is that you will be able to exercise your personal freedom as you or your child take out ever-increasing loans to pay for an education. Your personal freedom concerning your right to know where dangerous chemicals are located? Well, hmmm ‌ you don’t get to keep that. We just won’t talk about that one. Ladies, you will have the personal freedom to deal with a system that makes you jump through hoops to access healthcare. And tighter restrictions on birth control are in the pipeline. And your freedom to access affordable healthcare? Umm ‌ you don’t get that. We just won’t talk about that one. And equal pay for equal work? Ladies, why don’t you continue to exercise your personal freedom in keeping quiet? Minorities, your individual liberties will be protected! Texas’ gerrymandering of Congressional districts has been declared unconstitutional. There will be many hugely expensive, long, drawn-out appeals to ensure that your congressional districts will continue to shrink as your population grows.

Aesop’s fable of “The Boy who Cried Wolf� concerns the shepherd boy who continually tricked villagers into thinking that a wolf was attacking his flock. When a wolf actually appeared, he again cried out for help, but neighbors ignored his plea, and his sheep were eaten up by the wolf. Einstein had a similar take on people who refused to change their ways, stating that the definition of insanity was continuing to do the same things and expecting different results. Proverbs 26:11 offers this colorful wisdom: “Just as a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.� All three stories share the observation that oftentimes people continue to make the same mistakes over and over. While to err is human, as we are not perfect, it is stubbornly unwise to knowingly continue making the same mistakes. Such is the case with Jesse Jackson and his never-ending accusations of racism. He recently charged the emergence of Ebola in the USA, and death of Liberian Thomas Duncan, was due to racism. Let’s analyze this. Mostly white volunteers from Samaritan’s Purse gave of their time (and put their lives at risk) to help stem the virus in West Africa. Seventy health care workers in Dallas attempted to save Duncan’s life. Of course the hospital will not be paid for any of this. Now, two workers (both of racial minority background) have contracted the deadly virus. Yet Jackson charges racism! Huh? There is lingering racism in the USA, but when hustlers like Jackson continue to charge discrimination whether warranted or not, his credibility recedes. People tune out, which actually hurts efforts to limit the remaining racism that exists. Pre-kindergarten funding has become a topic in the Texas gubernatorial race. Democrat Wendy Davis advocates universal pre-k, while Republican Greg Abbott supports increased funding for “gold level� programs that meet certain criterion and achieve the desired results. In other words, Abbott demands accountability and a return on investment. Davis does not, despite repeated studies that show the ineffectual Head Start Program has no positive impact on students’ performance past the third grade. But spending money with no accountability

BISD trustees recomending higher graduation requirements Recommendations from the Graduation Committee to revise graduation requirements were presented to the Boerne Independent School District Board during their regular meeting Monday, Oct. 17. The committee was formed to review the increased requirements of college and university entrance standards. The committee, including Board members Carol Mathews and Mellie Bergmann, parents and teachers, recommended no changes this year. They did recommend an increase in the amount of credits to graduate starting with the senior class of 1996. Twenty-one credits are presently needed to graduate from Boerne High School. As of 1996, 23 or 24 credits will be needed.

is in liberals’ DNA. They tax and spend, and spend and tax. That is what they do. And just when you think they are finished taxing and spending, they want to tax and spend some more. Democratic politicians have continued to claim the Republicans are waging a “war on women.� The latest egregious example of this demagoguery is from Colorado Senator Mark Udall. In a tight reelection campaign, Udall is picking up where the Obama 2012 campaign left off by absurdly claiming his Republican opponent wants to ban contraceptives. In its endorsement of Cory Gardner, the reliably liberal Denver Post explains, “Rather than run on his record, Udall’s campaign has devoted a shocking amount of energy and money trying to convince voters that Gardner seeks to outlaw birth control despite the congressman’s call for over-the-counter sales of contraceptives. Udall is trying to frighten voters rather than inspire them with a hopeful vision. His obnoxious one-issue campaign is an insult to those he seeks to convince.� This is strong stuff, and indicative of a party that has run out of gas, intellectually and practically. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was famously quoted during the Great Depression, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.� Sadly, his once great Democratic Party has degenerated its platform to “We have nothing to offer but fear itself.� The Democrats’ charge that Republicans are anti-women, anti-black, and anti- education is absurd and meritless and attempts to create fear in people and increase votes in what is expected to be a tough year for Democrats. Democratic Senate candidates in West Virginia and Kentucky won’t even admit they voted for Obama, and claim that they will be “independent voices� if elected. They seek to emulate endangered Democratic incumbents in Louisiana and Arkansas, who claim “independence� yet vote with Obama 97 percent of the time. Politicians who talk one way at home yet vote another way in the comforts of Washington need to be held to account. It’s an insult to voters to turn on the Southern charm while campaigning but follow the dictates of Harry Reid and the ultra liberal wing of the Democratic Party. People who do nothing but cry wolf and peddle fear are not serious policy makers and lack the credibility to lead our nation. Those who fail to learn from past mistakes cannot be trusted to make decisions that impact our nation’s future. This election campaign should be about a compelling vision for our future. Fear mongering and demagoguery have no place in it.

THE BOERNE STAR

Faith What do you want? If you have lived very long you have heard or asked this question thousands of times. Mothers ask this of their children. Lovers ask this of each other. You hear it at the fast food joint. It is a very common question. Jesus asked this question of the blind man in Luke 18:41. “What do you want from me?� This question takes on a different tone when you pause to think about the first sentence in the 23rd Psalm. “The Lord is my Shepard I shall not want.� We all want things of course; every day of our lives there are things we want. Much of the time they are not needs—just wants. Wanting turns out to be an important part of our lives. It is unlikely that we go through a day without wanting something, such as something to eat. So then, what is the implication of this statement by the Psalmist, “I shall not want?� I am not discussing the 23rd Psalm. Books have been written on the subject. However, if you chose to either read or quote the Psalm you could easily come to the conclusion that you need not read any further than the first statement.

ON THE JOURNEY

Jack Purcell

I remember hearing the story of a young missionary who had come home on furlough quite depressed. She hadn’t found a husband and in her view hadn’t been very pleased with her mission work. She went to a wise old pastor who listened to her plight and then asked her to read that first verse of the 23rd Psalm and stopped her. He confronted her, saying that it was not true of her and that she did want. This brings us to the very troubling place of whether or not we choose to allow God to meet our needs so that our wants are of little consequence. Psalm 34:9 says, “O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.� (KJV) The Message Bible renders it this way. “Worship God if you want the best; worship opens

doors to all his goodness.� The Apostle Paul obviously grasped the meaning of the issue as he states in Philippians 4:11 “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.� (KJV) Jesus challenged his disciples rather strongly about what it was going to take to follow him and included the following: “What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?� (Matthew 16:26 Message) So, as you can see, it is not really about wants. It is about trusting Jesus to meet us at the point of our need. We mortals have a hard time telling the difference between our wants and what God might want for us. As much as we might like for life to be all honey and no bees it doesn’t work that way. Without a doubt the most poignant display of this truth was heard from the lips of Jesus as he is dying for you and me. “Father, remove this cup from me. But please, not what I want. What do you want?� (Luke 22:42 Message)

Care for the roses now for beautiful spring blooms Fall can be the best time for roses in South Texas. Take the time now to prune out any dead or injured canes – prune them all the way to the ground. Reduce the height of the bush to about 3 feet. Feed each bush with either rose food or slow-release lawn fertilizer – about one cup spread out over the roots and watered in real good. Replace the mulch over the root zone by using leaves, shredded leaves or compost to a depth of about 3 to 4 inches. Old-fashioned roses don’t require nearly as much attention, but then, the individual blossoms don’t get as showy either. A deep watering once per month is about all they need right now. A little fertil-

izer each month won’t hurt, either. FERTILIZE THE LAWN NOW Yes, in case you didn’t get it done last week, there is still time to put fertilizer on the lawn to get it ready for its winter rest period (actually it doesn’t rest at all, just the tops turn brown; the roots are still quite active). Any time for the next couple weeks will be fine. Be sure to buy a lawn fertilizer that says “winterizer� on the bag. The three numbers on

the bag should have either a 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio; for example, 15-5-10 or 19-5-9. MORE FALL GARDENING It’s time to start thinking about your fall color scheme and the plants you’ll need to carry it out. Plan your fall planting by size, color and location. Now is also the time to dig up the iris, day lilies, Shasta daisies and other bulb-type perennials and divide them. Replant those that you want and give the rest to the neighbors. Be sure to leave part of the rhizomes of the irises showing above the ground so that they don’t rot. It’s time to sow the wildflower seeds that you bought some time ago. A couple of key elements are to (1) make sure that the seeds

make contact with the soil so that they can germinate (this may mean that you’ll have to scalp the area where they will be planted), and (2) be sure to keep the seeds and soil moist until the seeds sprout – usually about 10 days to two weeks. Handwatering is just fine. Get one of those nozzles that makes a fine spray to use for this watering. If you need more bulbs for next spring, now is the time to go get them. They’re in the nurseries right now but you have to hurry to get the best selection. They tend to go pretty fast. Be sure to feel each bulb you intend to buy and get the hardest ones they have. Generally speaking, we

Business Texas travel experts see Boerne first-hand BISD’s Revell named Representatives of the 12 Texas Travel Information Centers, officials from the Texas Travel Industry Association, the Texas Lodging Association, and staff members from Texas Highways Magazine visited Boerne Friday, Oct. 10 to find out why Boerne is as unique as its name, as the city’s slogan states. Boerne was the final stop on a six day, multi-city familiarization trip that covered much of central, south and west Texas. The travel counselors and writers toured the city by bus before stopping at the newlyrestored Phillip Manor on South Main Street. There they were greeted by City of Boerne and visitors center staff members before touring the property with owner Debbie Gracy. A buffet lunch followed the tours. “About 1.8 million people visit the travel centers each year,� said Larry Woods, director of Boerne’s convention and visitor’s bureau. “The travel counselors will write detailed reports for their counterparts about what’s new in Boerne.� The Texas Travel Information Centers are located at major entry points into the state. They are staffed by professional travel counselors who

Boerne Independent School District Assistant Superintendent and Business Manager Bruce Revell was selected by the San Antonio Business Journal as one of 10 honorees in the publication’s 5th Annual Best CFO Awards program. Honorees were selected based on their fiscal leadership, diligent management and the positive impact they have on their companies and organizations, according to information released by the Journal. The publication plans to highlight the honorees in a special issue. Among the 10 honorees, Revell was the only award recipient representing the field of education. Revell joined Boerne ISD in 2007 and under his leadership the district has consistently received top ratings from the Texas Education Agency under its Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas. Prior to his arrival in Boerne, Revell served as CFO for Ector County ISD in Odessa. He holds a degree in accounting from Howard Payne University. .(1'$// &2817<

The Greater Boerne Area Chamber of Commerce is an association of businesses organized to promote and improve economic vitality through partnerships, leadership and education of our members and community. We take the commitment to provide education to our members and community seriously. We are actively involved on a number of levels. As the community’s main business resource, the Boerne chamber provides frequent programs to keep business people trained and educated on topics relevant to today’s business. What’s going on nationally? Because there are now as many as five generations in the workplace across the country, scores of workshops seminars focusing on generational diversity in the workplace and marketplace are popping up across the country. While some of us want all the details before we purchase our products or services, other generations find the details on the Internet or through social media and just want to hear the bottom line. Earlier this year the chamber kicked off a new program - Speaker Series. We brought expert speakers in from outside Boerne to speak on subjects that are becoming part of everyday conversations across the United States. The first topic was generational diversity, the second on leadership and the third on new networking strategies. What’s going on in our schools? Each March the chamber invites Boerne Independent School District Superintendent David Stelmazewski to deliver the state of our district address, which includes a report on how our students measure

up compared to other school districts across Texas and the country. We learn about new best practices, plans for the future and we honor all our teachers by recognizing those who have been selected as the top performers in each school. We also work closely with the schools, assisting school staff to help students learn about the wide variety of career opportunities from which they can choose to pursue following graduation. The chamber awards five $2,000 scholarships each year to encourage deserving students to reach for the stars as they pursue their education beyond the boundaries of Kendall County. Mark your calendar for March 5, 2015 - the date of our next State of the District luncheon! What is happening within our City? Every year, the chamber hosts the State of the City Luncheon where Mayor Mike Schultz and City Manager Ron Bowman speak to us about their vision for Boerne, their plans to manage the anticipated growth in our region, transportation issues, waste management and maintaining infrastructure. Save January 8, 2015 on your calendar as the date of the next State of the City luncheon. What about the Economy? Every spring the chamber hosts an economic development forum where we bring in

experts from around the state and region to address economic issues that impact Boerne’s future. The range of speakers has included legislators, nationally and internationally recognized economists, as well as other experts with their fingers on the pulse of the local, state and national economy. They help us prepare and plan for a future that lifts the quality of life in our local community. How can we deal with the drought issues more efficiently? Every October, the chamber brings a panel of experts to Boerne to discuss some aspect of drought management. This year’s water forum was held Oct. 23, and we talked about storm water management. As the community considers plans for incorporating all the new construction within city limits and the boundaries of Kendall County, maybe we can learn about new ways to capture storm water that is more attractive, environmentally friendly and more affordable. The chamber also produces an annual magazine, Boerne Lifestyles, for people who are considering relocating or visiting Boerne. This year’s 72-page issue provides information concerning our thriving business community, the growing local healthcare industry, Boerne’s first-class education and enrichment programs, Hill Country homes and communities, local arts and culture as well as the growing destination and event venue industry. It also includes a complete directory of our chamber member businesses. If you haven’t seen this year’s Boerne Lifestyles magazine, we encourage you to drop by our office and pick up a copy.

Avoid these scary investment moves Whether you have young children or not, you’re probably well aware that Halloween is almost here. However, despite the plethora of skeletons and ghosts you might see floating around this week, you probably don’t have much to fear, except, possibly, running out of candy. But in real life, some things genuinely are frightening - such as “scaryâ€? investment moves. Of course, investing, by its very nature, is not a risk-free endeavor. Ideally, though, these risks are also accompanied by the possibility of reward. Nonetheless, some investment moves carry very little in the way of “upsideâ€? potential and should be avoided. Here are a few to consider: • Not investing - The scariest investment move you can make is to not invest at all - because if you don’t invest, you are highly unlikely to achieve a comfortable retirement or meet any other important financial goals. In a recent survey conducted by the National Council on Aging and other groups, 45 percent of the respondents who were 60 or older said they wished they had saved more money, and almost onethird said they wished they had made better investments. So make investing a priority and choose some investments

that have the potential to provide you with the growth you’ll need to meet your objectives. • Overreacting to “scaryâ€? headlines - The financial markets like stability, not uncertainty. So the next time you see some news about domestic political squabbles or unsettling geopolitical events, such as conflicts in foreign lands, don’t be surprised if you see a drop, perhaps a sizable one, in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other market indices. But these declines are usually short-lived. Of course, the markets do not exist in isolation - they can and will be affected by what’s happening in the world. Yet, over the longer term, market movements are mostly governed by mundane, non-headlinegrabbing factors, such as corporate earnings, interest rate movements, personal income levels, and so on. Here’s the point: Don’t overreact to those scary headlines, or even to short-term market drops. Instead, focus on the fundamentals driving your investments - and main-

THE BOERNE STAR

Wreck-proof your recreation, part 1 What are appropriate recreation and entertainment activities? This might be a somewhat loaded question here, since we all have different ideas on “what is appropriate.” So, first think about what you believe to be healthy, appropriate recreation and entertainment activities. Then ask yourself “What activities do I consider unhealthy or inappropriate for both adults and children?” Since practically any activity that occupies a person‘s leisure time could be part of the arts, entertainment and recreation, how do we distinguish between the good and not so good? Again, one key criterion is your core values. Where do those values for yourself and family fit into the choices you make for entertainment and recreation? Your core values should be the deciding factor as to whether you go to a particular movie, view an art show or what you leave sitting around in your home and on your computer. So, review your core values, dreams and goals. Then see how your recreation and entertainment choices line up. If you get some kind of internal check, search out what that‘s all about. Maybe, you are trying to tell yourself not to entertain that type of entertainment. Of course, most psychologists and public health experts advise staying away from any aggressive and graphic violent videos, movies and any pornography, not only for children, but also adults. What are the consequences of inappropriate choices? Yes, video games can be fun and entertaining, but not at the expense

of sacrificing your core values and risking your child‘s own wholesome development. As one example, we have all heard the growing evidence over the years that points to a link between violent videos and aggressive behavior in children. A number of states today, such as Illinois, Michigan and California, have all passed state laws to prohibit the sale of violent video games to minors. National Institute on Media and the Family released its 13th annual Video and Computer Game scorecard (2008), which revealed there is a major gap between parents‘ awareness of the time their kids spend with video games, as well as the content, and what is actually happening. Their national survey translated into 59 million young players. “The overwhelming majority of these kids play their video games, do their homework, keep up their responsibilities and have other interests. No problem. So it‘s clear that video and computer games are not inherently bad for kids. Some kids, however, get hooked. Computer game addiction is real and growing. Our research shows that almost one out of seven game players shows signs of an addiction.” In addition, the scorecard linking violent media with attitudes and behavior

resulted in overwhelming evidence that screen violence has an effect on the kids watching it. “Not all kids mimic what they see. Yet, the more pervasive effect of violent media is not so much violent behavior, but rather the culture of disrespect it creates and nourishes.” A large amount of media use, including video games, has also been linked to sedentary lifestyles by a number of studies, contributing to the obesity problem in our nation. Yet, there is no reason kids can‘t play games, eat healthy foods and get enough exercise. The major factors are The Big Three: Too Much Time, The Wrong Content, Sedentary Lifestyles. Helping your child develop a healthy and balanced life depends on you as their parent. I believe this also translates for adults as well with a number of unhealthy activities, including these three major ones. Inappropriate recreation and entertainment can result in emptiness, self-deceit, infidelity to one‘s core values, faith and family, and reckless behavior. The perceived fun only leaves you with fractured relationships and futility! Now that you‘ve heard the bad news, next week let’s focus on the good news for healthy, appropriate recreation and entertainment activities. Sharon L. Benedict, is a speaker, author, and weaver.

Surprising event in George Wilkins Kendall Life The life of George Wilkins Kendall began to intrigue us shortly after we moved to Boerne, 20 years ago. At the time we were still RVing around the country for five to six months a year, so we made our destinations some of the places that he or his descendants had lived. We have literally, physically researched the Kendall family in courthouses and archives from coast to coast: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Florida, Oregon, Oklahoma, UT Arlington, as well as in other Texas communities. We thought we pretty well knew all about Kendall. So it was a surprise last week to discover a baptismal record for George Wilkins Kendall and his siblings in of all places – Quebec, Canada, where only one child was actually born! In view of the Kendall’s family background that was a total surprise. Read on. When we visited Amherst, New Hampshire, the area in which Kendall was born, we were surprised there was little recognition of his name when we inquired about him at the local library. They did not even have a copy of Fayette Copeland’s “Kendall of the Picayune.” They did recognize the name Wilkins, as Reverend Daniel Wilkins had been one of the founders of the town. While there we collected early records on both sides of George’s family, and visited the local cemetery to view family graves and previous family dwellings. Later in Massachusetts we traced both families back to Bray Wilkins in 1628 and Francis Kendall in 1640. George was actually born in Mont (not Mount) Vernon, a small community on the outskirts of Amherst in 1809. The village had separated from Amherst in 1803. This is where George’s parents Thaddeus Kendall and Abigail Wilkins lived at the time. Abigail’s father, Samuel Wilkins, was a Deacon in nearby Amherst Congregational Church from 1771 to 1816.

THE FAMILY HISTORIAN Mary Alice Dell GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF KENDALL COUNTY

The family was prominent in the community at that time. Rev. Daniel Wilkins, the great-grandfather of George, had been called as the first minister of the new community in 1741, a position he held almost until his death in 1783. During this period, the second church of the Congregational community was built on the Village Green in 1774. It still stands, in use each Sunday. With his mother’s ties to that church, one would have thought that is where George would have been baptized. Thaddeus and Abigail had four children born in Mont Vernon where Thaddeus had a failing business. After the birth of William in 1813, they moved to Vermont and then on to Canada. It was there that their fifth child, Abigail, was born June 9, 1814. BAPTISMAL RECORD Finding the baptismal records was one of those serendipitous events. I wasn’t looking for them. As I was reviewing what types of records are available on the Library Version of Ancestry in preparation for teaching a group to use it, I inserted George Wilkins Kendall’s name in a vital record database thinking I might find a town record of his birth. To my surprise, the Quebec record popped up showing the Aug. 5, 1816, baptismal records with birth dates of George and three of his siblings at the Presbyterian St. Andrew Church in Montreal. The other siblings were Thaddeus Richmond born 1811; Katherine Fletcher born 1812; and William Hubbard in 1813. Thaddeus was identified as a merchant in the document. A separate baptismal record showed the baptism of his sister Abigail in 1815. She died in

This is not a good time to do any serious pruning on your woody plants.

It’s full of water when it’s fresh and the water will freeze.

1816 and William in 1820 while the family was still in Canada. It apparently was sometime shortly after his baptism that 7-year old George returned to New Hampshire with a family friend to live with his grandfather, Samuel Wilkins. Better educational opportunities were offered there than in Canada. He never again lived under the roof of his parents, who eventually returned to the US and settled in Vermont. Although Kendall is mostly remembered in Texas because of his influence on the sheep industry, he really made an even greater impact on the rest of the country during his lifetime through the pages of the New Orleans Picayune, which he co-founded and wrote for until his death. This was the paper that carried his first-hand stories of the Santa Fe expedition and the Mexican-American War as America’s first foreign war correspondent. Both events were the subjects of books he later wrote. Many of you probably know the story of his marriage to a beautiful talented French lady and the birth of their four children in France. After the death of his mother, who was strongly anti-Catholic, he brought his family to Texas. For more details, I recommend reading Copeland’s book which was written with the help of Kendall’s daughter, Georgina Kendall Fellowes, who had carefully saved her father’s dairies, letters etc. You will have new appreciation for the man for whom Kendall County was named. Copeland’s papers, which include copies of his correspondence with Georgina, are housed at the University of Oklahoma at Norman. He microfilmed Kendall’s dairies covering the last 10 years of his life. To our chagrin, we found all that was left in the microfilm box of the last five years was a foot of blank film – the actual images of the dairies had been cut away and stolen.

SAVE THOSE SEEDS When the seed pods on your favorite plants start turning brown, it’s time to collect and save them for next year. You need to be sure to wait until the seeds are dry and just about ready to fall off the mother plant. Put them in zippered sandwich bags with a label stating the name of the plant and the date you collected the seeds. I use old business cards for the labels. Put the seeds in a jar or plastic bottle with a large lid and place it in the fridge – not the freezer! They will keep well until next year. In fact they’ll keep for several years if you can keep the moisture away from them. That’s why you put the date on it. After

SEARCH FOR LIVING DESCENDANTS Our search for a living direct descendant of Kendall, convinced us there were none. Kendall, who died in 1867, never lived to see any of his grandchildren. His son William died in his 20s, unmarried, and his daughter Carolyn, born deaf, never married. Georgina, who married after her father’s death, had one son, who died with no issue. It was left to Kendall’s son Henry Fletcher to produce two children who lived to adulthood. Henry Fletcher attended West Point and married his commanding officer’s daughter from Portland, Oregon. They had two children, Adeline de Valcourt, named after his mother, and William Henry. Adeline, who lived all her life in Portland, did not marry until 1961 at age 63. She died seven years later, leaving her estate to her brother, William. She had inherited her aunt Georgiana’s collection of Kendall documents and pictures, which now fell into her brother’s hands. It was the 1970 obituary of William (or Billy as he was known in the family) that we found in a Sarasota, Florida, paper, that led us to the remaining grandchild. Billy’s will did not mention any children and left his estate to his wife. When she died, it was left to her sister (who later sold Kendall’s papers to UT Arlington). We had arrived at the end of the road – no living descendants. The Patrick Heath Public Library is paying tribute to Kendall this month in a display showing his books and pictures. So the moral of my story of finding an unexpected baptismal record is you never know when a serendipitous moment will occur while you are doing research on your family history. It couldn’t have been just a coincidence that this happened shortly after I took some Kendall materials to share in the library display.

a few years, if you haven’t planted all of them, throw them away because the percentage of them that will sprout will probably be pretty low. Of course, if you plant them in 6-packs and one doesn’t sprout, you can just replant it. Send comments and questions to gardener@gvtc.com or visit www.thehillcountrygardener.com.

After handing Fredericksburg their first district loss of the year last week, the Boerne High football team looks to give another team their first district loss of the season Friday when they travel to Liberty Hill. The 2-0 Hounds face off against the 2-0 Panthers Friday at Liberty Hill, 7:30 p.m.

Boerne High defeated Fredericksburg (38-20) and Taylor (35-21) in district play, while Liberty Hill has beat Canyon Lake (19-14) and Taylor (21-17). The one common opponent the two teams have already played is Taylor, with BHS winning by 14 over the Ducks, while Liberty Hill beat Taylor by just four at 21-17, but Grey-

Eagles host Waco Vanguard The Geneva School of Boerne six-man football team has a key district gme Friday when the Eagles host Waco Vanguard at Geneva, 7:30 p.m. Both teams are undefeated in district play so the winner takes the lead in the standings. Geneva is 6-1 overall and so is Waco Vanguard, which means both have played well so far.

Geneva defeated Winston last Friday 53-0 after they scored 30 points in the first quarter and added 23 more in the second to kick in the mercy rule at halftime. The Eagles dominated on both sides of the ball and limited Winston to 40 total yards of offense, the third straight week they’ve held their competition under 250 total yards.

You kill a lot of earthworms learning to play golf. Beginning golfers struggle to get the ball in the air. They hit grounder after grounder, one worm burner after another, until they learn that hitting down on the ball makes it go up. Modern golf clubs are designed to help the ball into the air. Drivers have more loft than before. In fact, the leading driver manufacturer has an ad campaign urging players to “loft up.” Hybrids are replacing long irons because it’s easier to get the ball in the air with a hybrid than with a 3 or 4 iron. The 2 iron has all but disappeared. You’d think the goal of golf is to hit the ball as high as humanly possible.

RUN FROM PAGE 15A 19:01 and Antonio Sagar clocked in at 19:47 for 48th. BISD had the top four individual boy runners at Saturday’s race after Tankersley and Rodriguez from Champion came in 1st and 4th and Luevano and Monroe were 2nd and 3rd.

HOUNDS FROM PAGE 15A two-game lead over Boerne High with just two matches left so even if Fredericksburg lost their final two and BHS won out and they tied, the Battlin’ Billies would still be district champs since they own the tiebreaker over the Hounds by sweeping them. Boerne High (31-8) slips

But then the wind blows. Those beautiful high shots blow sideways into the trees or out of bounds. A shot down the middle of the fairway hits a wall of wind and stops dead. On a really bad day, the ball can be coming back toward you as it hits the ground. You long to burn a few worms with a rusty old 2 iron. Of course, if you play a lot of golf in Lubbock, a windy day is par for the course. What we Hill Country golf weenies call a stiff wind is a gentle zephyr to a Good Old Boy from the Llano Estacado. Just ask Freeman Sansom, the winner of the last tournament. A cold front passed through in the early morning and the wind was blowing hard out of the north, but Sansom hardly noticed.

As you might expect, Freeman is a resident of Lubbock. He comes down every year to play golf with his Bandera buddies, and while the rest of us were cursing the wind he was reveling in the advantage Mother Nature had handed him. Sansom birdied holes 4 and 12 in a 4-point round of 91 and sailed to a finish at the top of the field. Garry Hanson winters at his home in Kerrville but he returns to his native home of Alberta, Canada for the summer. I haven’t spent a lot of time in Alberta but I’d wager that you see more than your share of north wind up there. In fact, I’d bet that the windy, slightly cool tournament day made Garry feel as comfortable as it did Freeman Sansom. Hanson’s score suggests he was feel-

ing just fine as he came in second with 3 points from a round of 90. Bandera and Flying L resident Gene Eubank came in third with an 87 for 2 points. Boerne’s Richard Leeder came in fourth with 1 point from his 87. Bandera’s Gary Manning was closest to the hole on No. 2, and Jim Skoglund, another Bandera resident, was closest on No. 7. Freeman Sansom added to his winning round with the prize on No. 12, and Banderan John Palmer was closest on No. 17. Boerne’s Walter Stroman did an admirable job of cheating the wind and took medalist honors with a nice 77. The 26 players in the field amassed a paltry total of 10 points on a very tough day for golf.

Girls Elite Feet was swift of foot and took first in the girls varsity race at TLU after they scored 40 points. Champion came in second place with 87 points to edge out Boerne High who was in third place with 88 points in the twomile race. Boerne Champion Anna Norman came in fourth to lead the Chargers after she clocked in at12:30,

Hadley Wilfong posted a 13:10 for 11th, Melanie Furr placed 17th with a 13:24, Sydney Melnar came through the shoot in 13:55 for 28th and Sabrina Talley was 31th in 14:04. Also, Rebecca Tankersley was 36rd in 14:10 and Anna Tankersley finished 79th with a time of 15:33. Boerne High Ashlynn Tucker paced the Lady Hounds with a second-

place finish after she ran a 12:20, Arron Dearrington came in 15th in 13:24, Kortni Langlanais finished 19th in 13:39, Rachel Avalos ran a 13:52 for 24th and Madison Kidd came in 28th in 13:59. Andrea Gerner was one spot back for the Lady Hounds in 29th with a 14:01 and Lillie Frasier rounded out the team with a time of 14:29 for 45th.

to 6-2 in the district and a win Friday at Devine or next Tuesday at Bandera locks up second place in the district. Boerne needed a win on Tuesday to force a tie in the standings with Fredericksburg and they had a good start after they took the first game, 25-17, but the Battlin’ Billies bounced back and won the next two, 25-19, 25-18 after they used their height advantage well at the net with the short set.

Boerne High prevailed in the fourth game, 25-18, to tie it up at 2-2 and force a fifth and deciding set. In Game 5, it was back and fourth and tied at 10-10, but Fredericksburg scored the next two points to make it 12-10. Boerne cut the gap to 12-11, but the Battlin’ Billies converted the next two points for the 14-11 lead. The Lady Hounds called a timeout and came out of the break by scoring the

next point to make it 14-12, but Fredericksburg put the match away on the next point despite hitting the ball out of bounds. The kill attempt by one the Fredericksburg players was clearly out and ruled out, but the net official that stands on the floor ruled that a Greyhound player had touched the net, which awarded the set-winning point to the’ Billies to close out the match and wrap up first place.

BMSN medal winners

Ryan Koth and Payton Williams, both 7th graders at Boerne Middle School North, won medals at the recent BMSN Invitational Cross Country Meet held at Boerne City Lake earlier this month. Koth came in third out of 34 boys and Williams finished seventh out of 40 girls. Participating schools were BMSN, BMSS, Kerrville and Geneva School of Boerne.

EAGLES FROM PAGE 15A

BHS FROM PAGE 15A hound coach Mike Dormady said you can’t really compare common opponents to get a true feel for how the game is going to go. “Week to week it’s different,” he said. “Personnel match ups are different so it’s tough to look at common opponents to see how things are going to work out.” The winner of Friday’s game sits at 3-0 in the district

MATCH FROM PAGE 15A Champion is trying to hold on to third place in the district and is being chased by Floresville who is one game behind at 9-5. If Champion wins their last two matches, they’ll enter the postseason as the third-place team in 27-5A. Floresville and Seguin are fighting for that last spot available in 27-5A with Floresville at 9-5 and Seguin at 8-7. Seguin can’t catch

CATS FROM PAGE 15A ball as evidenced by their 1,387 rushing yards this year, compared to just 157 passing yards. Comfort coach Michael Harbuck said the Cats will have their hands full with Randolph on Friday. “They’re a good football club, well balanced and they play hard,” he said. “They’re disciplined and they don’t shoot themselves in the foot and they’re real methodical and don’t turn the ball over.”

CHARGERS FROM PAGE 15A didn’t want to risk injury but at the same time you have to keep your kids ready so we changed up our practices just to create a game atmosphere.” Kaiser said they’re doing pretty good health-wise. “We’re about as healthy as we can be,” he said. “Everybody that’s available is available and healthy.” With homecoming festivities all week long, Kaiser said they had to keep the players focused on the game. “For the most part they did

and has the inside track to the district crown with only two regular-season games on the schedule after Friday. “That puts you in the driver’s seat playoff-wise and you’re building momentum because it’s a big game,” Dormady said. “We have to win on the road, we’ve done it two times this year but we have to play our game.” Boerne’s game is throwing the ball behind the arm of Quinten Dormady who has already tossed for more than 2,000 yards and accumulated 24 touchdowns, but on Fri-

day against Fredericksburg, the Hounds turned to the ground game to protect their lead and eat up the clock. In the fourth quarter, BHS chewed 9:03 off the clock in the 12-minute period by running the ball with Nick Novak. The sophomore was brought up from the JV in midseason and Dormady said he’s made a lot of progress in a short time. “We started with baby steps and now he has the whole offense down,” Dormady said. “We’re getting him more involved and get-

ting him more opportunities and we’d like to even get him involved in the passing game.” Dormady said Liberty Hill runs the Wing-T offense which is designed to keep the ball on the ground and burn up the clock, which limits how many times their opponents handle the ball. The coach said they have to be productive when they do have the ball. “You have to execute, you can’t take a series off,” he said. “You have to take care of business on your end.”

Champion at 10-4 for third, but Floresville could if they won their final two and the Chargers lost their final two. Champion closes out the regular season Friday at home against Lockhart and then hosts Floresville on Tuesday in what could be for third place. On Tuesday, the Mules won the first game 25-16, but it was close early at 9-8 with Heights only up by one. From there, the Mules went on a 16-8 run to go up 1-0. The second set was much closer throughout. The Chargers looked like they might

tie it up at 1-1, and even held a 22-18 lead, but couldn’t close it out. The Mules scored the next three points to make it 22-21, but Champion took the next point and pulled ahead at 23-21. From there, Alamo Heights tied it at 23-23, forcing the Chargers to call a timeout. After the break, Champion pulled ahead 24-23 and was one point away, but the Mules scored the next two points to pull ahead 24-25. The Chargers burned another timeout and came out and tied it at 25-all, but the Mules

scored the next two points to pull ahead 2-0. Alamo Heights has only dropped one set in district this year and that was to Champion when they met in Boerne on Sept. 19. They wouldn’t drop another set to the Chargers as they completed the sweep by taking the third game, 25-17. Sara Martin led the team in kills with 17 and Loren Bragg added 10 kills. Haley Higgins finished with 27 assists, Isabelle Oviedo tallied 13 digs and two aces, while Hannah Roe blocked a shot.

Randolph has struggled in their kicking game this year, especially with extra points. In fact, it was their lack of kicking game that cost them the Ingram contest. Both teams scored four touchdowns, but the Ro-Hawks went for two each time and only converted once. “That might be something that gives us an edge,” Harbuck said, “but it’s going to take everything we’ve got, that’s for sure.” Comfort doesn’t have a problem with their kicking game, they have one of the best kickers in the greater San Antonio area in Victor Falcon who has already

made a 52-yarder this year and is talking with some Division I colleges. Last week against Cole, Falcon kicked field goals of 39 and 41 yards and has been known to kick them from beyond 60 yards in practice – without a tee. “Going into the game I’ve got a kicker that can get me some points,” Harbuck said. “When you get to a certain yard line it’s an option, it’s never automatic, but we have confidence in him.” The Cats have played well in district, especially after an 0-5 start to nondistrict, but Harbuck said their tough nondistrict schedule made

them better. “We had that tough nondistrict, but we learned a lot and we bounced back and are sitting right where we need to be,” he said. “They’re showing a lot of maturity and our execution rate has gotten a lot better, we’re improving.” Harbuck said it’s been a combination of things that has them playing some good football right now. “We’ve been more cohesive and have been able to get people healthy,” he said. “We have some new additions in there and I think getting healthy and getting the new guys up to speed has all come together.”

good, but it’s those things that worry you as a coach,” he said. “You end up trying to gather them back and refocus on their job and the kids have responded pretty good.” Lockhart is a tricky match up because they run the Wing-T and like to keep the ball on the ground and burn up the clock, limiting the other team’s possessions. In fact, the Lion has accumulated 2,839 rushing yards compared to only 181 passing yards. “What they do, they do well,” Kaiser said about Lockhart. “Their kids have bought into that system and they do a tremendous job.

It’s going to be a physical game because they’re looking for three yards and a cloud of dust on every play. They just want to keep moving the chains and wait for you to be undisciplined and pop one.” The Lions are 4-2 in district with victories over Seguin, Memorial, Floresville and Kennedy. Their two losses have come to Alamo Heights and Tivy and they’ve been lopsided defeats. The Mules beat them 52-20 and the Antlers smacked them 62-10. “In games they’ve gotten in trouble they’ve had turnovers,” Kaiser said. “Against Heights and Tivy, they were turning the ball over and gave

those teams short fields.” Kaiser said if you can score early and often it causes the Lions to get uncomfortable because they can’t run it as much and have to pass. “They don’t want to throw,” Kaiser said. “That’s not what they are built around.” Champion’s off week came late into the season, but Kaiser said it came at a good time for them because it gave them some down time before what they hope is a successful stretch run. “We’re selling it as it’s our midway point,” he said. “If we want to be playing in that state championship game on Dec. 19, this is our halfway point.”

DEER FROM PAGE 15A in a first-place tiebreaker like they did last year, but Blanco avoided that whole scenario by sweeping the Deer on Tuesday. Comfort, 27-11 overall, has two regular-season matches left. They host Florence this week and visit Jarrell Tuesday. One more win by the Deer in

Perez and Sueltenfuss both dropped in six aces apiece for the Eagles who finished with 36 aces in the match. their two matches clinches second place for them in the district. Lago Vista is in third at 7-3 and even though the Deer have swept the Lady Vikings, Lago Vista could still pass up Comfort if they win their last two and Comfort drops their final two. If that were to happen, Lago Vista would be 9-3 and Comfort would be 8-4, but one more win by the Deer enters them as the No. 2 seed into the postseason. Center in S.A. The Area championship match will likely feature Champion and Alamo Heights. Both will advance to regionals set for next week, but the winner of Friday’s match earns a higher seed heading into regionals. Boerne High tennis The Hounds defeated Reagan last weekend, 11-8, and BHS coach Ray Perez said it was a good win even though the Rattlers weren’t at full strength. Boerne High is 10-10 overall this year and has a bye in the Area round, they’ll prepare for regionals set for Oct. 31 – Nov. 1 at the Northside Tennis Center.

Athlete of the Week Quinten Dormady Boerne High’s Quinten Dormady threw four touchdown passes and ran for another in leading the Greyhounds past Fredericksburg last win for a homecoming victory. Dormady has now thrown for 24 TD passes this year.

FABRA FROM PAGE 1A Of the $99.5 million from the 2013 bond approved by voters last May, $20.8 million is budgeted for constructing the new campus, but the guaranteed maximum price is expected to be brought before the board early next year. The 90,000-square-foot new campus is being built on 19.6 acres at the corner of Johns Road and Lattimore, approximately one mile from the current Fabra Elementary campus, which dates back to 1948. The new school will accommodate 800 students, kindergarten through fifth grade. That is an increase in capacity of approximately 200 students over the current campus on Lohmann Street. After the meeting, Fabra Elementary School Principal Jocelyn Dudney said she has been given the opportunity to be involved in planning for the new campus. “I’ve been involved in the development of this new school from the very beginning - talking about ideas, visiting schools, meeting with architects and meeting with community members,” Dudney said. “It’s been ongoing, even emailing ideas to architects. It’s been more than I’ve dreamed I would be able to do.” Dudney has been principal

THE BOERNE STAR at the school for three years and an educator for 19 years. “In the previous school district that I worked for, we built schools all the time, but never were principals involved at this level,” Dudney said. The proposed design, presented by Pfluger/OCO Architects Kent Niemann and Carr Hornbuckle, include “learning communities” that incorporate traditional classrooms clustered around shared spaces that teachers can access for expanded instruction and special projects. “Each of the learning neighborhoods has that shared common space and what we’ve been able to do is design a school where we’re limiting the amount of transitions the kids are going to make throughout the day,” Dudney said. She also said the shared spaces among the classrooms allow for reading and math specialists, as well as other educators who work in conjunction with teachers to have a space that facilitates better one-on-one learning. “They do that now, but they’re confined to the four walls of a normal classroom,” Dudney said. “Here there are so many opportunities in those shared common spaces for kids to work with other adults and other groups, where they’re limiting the amount of transactions they make.”

Sculptor finishes larger-than-life monument

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2014

Jay Hester recently finished what’s literally been a “heroic� effort. That is, Hester has completed a larger-than-life sculpture of Texas philanthropist, George Mitchell - the scale of which isn’t necessarily noticeable at first glance. “This is what we call ‘heroic’ size,� Hester explained as he smoothed and cleaned the clay contours of Mitchell’s uniform. “When you have outside pieces, like in parks, they’re made larger-than-life so that they optically appear lifesize when you see them.� Hester, who was commissioned to create the busts of four Boerne heroes more than two decades ago, said that those sculptures are similarly proportioned, that is, they’re “heroic� as well. “The ones right here in Veteran’s Park - I did those heads in 1992 - and when you see them, they look lifesized, but they’re bigger.� The reason for this disproportion, Hester said, is that seen within the scale of the outdoors, a figure’s true size would be lost. Hester has had statues commissioned across the United States and throughout Texas, several of which are on the Texas Tech University campus. Another sculpture, “Lasting Friendship,� adorns a Fredericksburg park. Interestingly, Hester’s current sculpture of George Mitchell is the third one he’s executed of him. “It’s no coincidence,� Hester said, the implication being that sculpting creates an inevitable familiarity with the subject. Local photographer Ed Hall is a principal figure in the Boerne Performing Arts and an avowed admirer of Hester’s creations. Hall, who

Jay Hester nears the finish line of a heroic-sized statue of George Mitchell that - once cast in bronze - will stand on the Texas A&M Galveston campus. has for the first time been able to watch a statue’s creation from birth through execution, is not shy in expressing his awe of Hester’s work. “The level of detail that (Hester) puts into this is just incredible,� Hall said. “Look at the buttons for instance. A lot of memorial statues don’t have this kind of detail. That was one of the things that impressed me about Jay’s work - the research.� Indeed, the research was evident around Hester’s studio: a grainy, blown-up photograph of a scabbard’ a vintage uniform jacket, purchased off eBay; and numerous photographs of Mitchell as a young man. “You’re talking about a pretty sizeable job,� Hester admitted. “It’s not an everyday deal.� That is something of an understatement. Most people, even most artists, don’t earn a living by breathing life into hundreds of pounds of clay.

Hester estimates he’s incorporated about 300 pounds of that medium into Mitchell’s form. And of course there’s the armature too, which is to say, the structure or skeleton that supports the sculpture from the inside - another aspect of the work that Hall greatly admires. “He has to be an engineer as well as an artist,� Hall said. Hall, whose art is photography, is fascinated by Hester’s ability to conceive of a subject not merely in two dimensions, but in three. A special eye is required to envision not simply from side-to-side and top-to-bottom, but from front-to-back and every other possible angle as well. Sometimes, of course, that artist’s eye is displeased. “I came in one afternoon and he had cut through the right leg and was relocating the whole thing,� Hall said with an incredulous laugh.

Hester’s clay creation is destined for a Bulverde foundry where a bewildering series of steps involving dissection and molding, negatives and positives, slurries and casting and finally a mystical-sounding “lost wax� process that will result in a bronze, heroic statue of George Mitchell. “It takes six months or more,� Hester said of just his portion of the statue’s creation, adding that because such efforts emphasize historicity and accuracy - as opposed to artistic license exactitude is everything. “There are very few artists who do monuments. There are a lot of people who do sculpture but who don’t do monuments,� Hester added. It seems that when it comes to such larger-than-life efforts, such understatement is the norm. “It’s no easy chore,� Hall, watching from the sidelines, said.

Geneva School of Boerne held its Grammar Summer Math Challenge Awards during the third week of school. Pictured at left, Geneva math volunteer Ellen Yarbrough helps kindergarteners Aben Patteson and Sydney Schaefer present the 1’s cube in their construction of the millions cube at the Grammar Summer Math Challenge Awards assembly. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade sharpened and maintained their basic math facts and problem-solving skills during the summer in this voluntary challenge and were rewarded with medals at a school assembly.

How much water is in your well? Understanding your well water levels has never been more important than it is today. Whether you live in an area affected by record-breaking drought, have concerns about overuse, or prefer a more proactive approach to your water management. We can help. Water Well Awareness is a measuring and monitoring service for water wells. We are a new service that was started to provide the individual well owner improved awareness of the ground water levels on their property. We offer affordable rates. Our fee structure is developed to give every well owner an affordable solution for a one time measurement, and also be able to choose a recurring monitoring service if they desire.
