Hauptstrasse Quiltfest still needs volunteers for May 2 Springtime in Boerne gets even more colorful in just a few weeks when more than 200 quilts are strung up along the Hill Country Mile. The annual Hauptstrasse Quiltfest is set for Saturday, May 2, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with quilts at Main Plaza, at Veterans Park and lots of locations in between.

The Hauptstrasse Quiltfest team needs at least 100 volunteers to help hang, protect and remove these unique works of art. Basic job duties include: • Hanging: Cables will be pre-hung by city crews. Volunteers will work in teams with committee members and Parks and Recreation staff members to attach quilts on the lines early Saturday morning. These volunteers will meet at the Chamber of Commerce offices to pick up quilts and locations for hanging. • Guarding: Once the quilts have been hung, volunteers will be given boxes of gloves to

offer people who may want to actually touch the quilts. These individuals will also be briefed on the event schedule and purchasing procedures so they can direct participants to the appropriate resources. • Take Down: Reverse of the hanging job.

At 4 p.m. volunteers will then remove the quilts from the lines, fold and re-bag them, then return all to the Chamber of Commerce offices.

Online volunteer registration forms are available at www.boerne-tx.gov/quiltfest.

Once a registration form has been submitted, Volunteer Chairman Peggy Morton will contact the volunteer to confirm the requested time and task. Register as early as possible to secure a time that works with your Saturday schedule.

OBITUARIES James Donald ‘Don’ Baucum May 14, 1919 - March 30, 2015 James Donald “Don� Baucum died peacefully at his home on March 30, 2015. He was born just north of Altus, Oklahoma, on May 14, 1919, to James Benton and Myrtle Belle (Wiginton) Baucum.

Don grew up on a sandyland farm with two sisters and three brothers. He graduated from Frenship High School and went on to Oklahoma State University where he not only earned his undergraduate degree, but played baseball for the legendary Coach Hank Iba Baucum as well. He married Wynona Grace Bailey on Jan. 22, 1943, and entered the Navy on March 9, 1943. Following midshipmen’s school at Northwest University in Chicago, he served during World War II in the Pacific. Don was released from active duty as a lieutenant and went back to Oklahoma State where he earned his master’s degree.

Don and Wynona began their family and his career in education in Oklahoma. John Robert and Gary Don were born in Oklahoma, then the family moved to Quanah, where Don and Wynona would enjoy living for the next 52 years. Janet Lee was born shortly after their move to Quanah. Don had the opportunity to be the elementary school principal for several years, then entered into the banking business in 1968. He served as a bank director for First National Bank in Quanah for more than 30 years. In addition, he served as the board chairman for West View Boys Home in Hollis, Oklahoma, and served as president of the Rotary in Quanah.

Following his retirement, Don and Wynona moved to Taos, New Mexico, where they spent nine glorious years celebrating many family visits and great new friendships. They were faithful members of the St. James Episcopal Church in Taos. Their last five years were spent back in Texas where they resided in Boerne with Janet and her husband, Jim. Most late afternoons, Jim, Janet, and G-Dad (as he was affectionately known by his grandchildren) gathered on the back porch to share wine, baseball stories and their love of the Texas Hill Country. At 95, he had just finished planting his summer garden. Don was a kind, generous and grateful man. He truly loved God, family and country. A life well-lived.

He was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, two sisters, and two brothers. He is survived by his son John Robert and wife Marida; son Gary Don and wife Deborah; daughter Janet Lee and husband Jim; and grandchildren Katy Yates, Bailey Baucum, Danny Baucum, Libby Kolar, Jim Baucum, Mark Baucum, Austin Baucum, Michael Vitullo, Cailean Vitullo, Janna Meredith, Jami Sims and Jodi Sanders. He is also survived by 10 great-grandchildren and one great-grandchild on the way; one brother, Tom Baucum; and a host of nieces and nephews.

A memorial mass will celebrate Don’s life on Saturday, April 11, at 11 a.m. at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church. The visitation will be one hour prior to the service at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 11. Inurnment will take place in Taos, New Mexico, at a later date.

Justin Allen McElhannon Nov 10, 1982 - April 6, 2015 Justin Allen McElhannon, 32, of Boerne was welcomed by Jesus into his forever home on April 6, 2015.

Justin was born in Del Rio to John and Tanya McElhannon and his loving older sister, Kayla McElhannon Crisp. He grew up in Lampasas and enjoyed playing tennis, rodeoing and making mischief with his buddies.

He graduated from Lampasas High School in 2002.

Justin swept the love of his life, Misty Sul- McElhannon livan, off her feet in Houston in 2004, and the two were married in 2007. His pride and joy were his three sons: Bryce Joe, Brody John and Braxton Lee. He loved dancing the night away with his beautiful wife and hunting, fishing and enjoying the outdoors with his three little sidekicks at the Frio House and the Geronimo Creek Ranch.

Justin was an integral part of the team that opened the doors of Toyota of Boerne. As the used car director, he loved the fast pace and competition, working deals and being a part of a successful business built from the ground up. Despite his struggles with his health, Justin was determined to finish his college degree. He graduated from the University of Incarnate Word in 2012.

Justin’s faith grew tremendously throughout his long fight for his life. He never wavered in his faith that Jesus could heal him. He loved his First Baptist Church Boerne church family, hanging out at the HUB with students and especially spending time with his friend and mentor, Pastor Mike Harkrider.

Justin is survived by his wife, Misty McElhannon; his three sons Bryce, Brody and Braxton; his parents, John and Tanya McElhannon; his sister Kayla Crisp and nephew Caiden McElhannon; his father-in-law Joe Sullivan; and his beloved dogs Trudy and Norman. He is predeceased by his grandparents, John and Dorothy McElhannon.

Sept. 27, 1965 - March 28, 2015 Eric David Shade, 49, of Springfield, Missouri, passed away March 28, 2015, in his home following a valiant fight with metastatic colorectal cancer. Born Sept.

27, 1965 in San Francisco, California, his life journeys later took him to Boerne, for most of his childhood. He graduated from Boerne High School in 1982. In 1986, he earned his Bachelor’s degree at Trinity University in San Antonio. After Shade receiving his Master’s and PhD from Penn State, in 1991 he and his wife, Kathy, moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he followed his passion to teach others, becoming an associate professor of computer science at Missouri State University. During his tenure, he served on numerous committees and as parliamentarian for the faculty senate for several years. His dedication and passion to educate and inspire his students drove him to continue teaching throughout his fight, until March 5 of this year.

In addition to his love for teaching, Eric also had a passion for cycling and was a member of the Springbike Cycling Club. An avid musician himself in the playing of the bass, drums, keyboard and ukulele, Eric was a great lover of all varieties of music. His wit and extreme intelligence made him a nearly unbeatable opponent in any debate, as well as any bridge hand or any other card or board game for that matter.

An undone crossword or logic puzzle rarely posed a challenge to him. Despite his analytical nature, his enormous heart and love shone brightly in all his relations with his family, friends, and students.

Eric was preceded in death by his father David Henry Shade. He is survived in this earthly life by his wife Kathryn Shade and his son Christian Shade, as well as his parents, Pat and Harold Stokes, and his brother Matt Stokes.

A visitation was held on March 31 at Greenlawn South Funeral Home in Springfield, Missouri. The service was held under direction of the same facility on April 1.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Eric Shade Computer Science Scholarship Fund at Missouri State University, in care of the MSU Foundation, 901 S. National Ave, Springfield, MO 65897.

Contributions may also be made in his name to “Stand Up 2 Cancer� Foundation thru his “star link� at constellation.standup2cancer. org/stars/49569. Stand Up 2 Cancer funds collaborative, innovative cancer research to get new treatments to patients faster.

THE BOERNE STAR

FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 2015

Viewpoints Four lanes, so much better than two The single biggest concern I am hearing about lately is the traffic congestion along River Road. Yes, it is currently a mess due to the improvements being made to make it even better in the long run.

Roadway construction is always painful in the short term, but soon forgotten when a new and better roadway is opened. This will be the case on State Highway 46 East soon.

For years, two lanes east of Boerne was plenty to carry existing traffic.

With new residential development in the Trails of Herff Ranch and two new schools all coming on-line in the last 10 years, traffic has steadily increased.

The Texas Department of Transportation, the agency that owns and maintains this road, has had plans to widen SH 46 for several years, and now the project is finally underway.

TxDOT is very aware of the city’s anticipated growth over the next several years. This is why they are widening SH 46 in this area now before other new subdivisions on the

eastside of Boerne are completed.

City and county officials are collaborating with TxDOT better than ever before, and within the next couple of years, SH 46 east will have four lanes all the way to Ammann Road.

The current TxDOT widening project on SH 46 was also coordinated with the Kendall County contractor who is widening Herff Road, so the Herff-River Road-Esser intersection could be expanded.

During these construction projects, some lanes unfortunately have to be narrowed, or in some cases closed altogether, to get the work done.

FIRE INVESTIGATION Numerous people have been asking me if the State Fire Marshal’s office has identified the cause of the house explosion in the Trails of Herff Ranch neighborhood. Not yet.

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Mike Schultz MAYOR OF BOERNE

So what is taking so long, you ask? Let me just put it this way imagine a room full of lawyers, homeowners’ insurance adjusters, investigators, equipment manufacturer representatives and forensic experts.

All of these parties are working together to determine the cause of the explosion, but at the same time protecting their respective clients’ interests.

This is a very complex situation and it is going to take time to sort it all out. I wish I had better news on this matter, but we must let the experts do their jobs properly.

EVERYONE LOVES THE LAKE City staff reminded me recently that Boerne City Lake Park is one of

our most popular family-fun places.

From March through October we do collect an entrance fee from people who are not Boerne residents.

We get many questions about why we do this.

So here is the simple answer - this park is in the Boerne city limits, so Boerne residents already pay for the park maintenance and security through their property taxes.

We charge the entrance fee to those visitors from outside the city limits so we can cover all of the expenses to keep the park clean and safe.

As it turns out the vast majority of users each summer are actually from places other than Boerne.

Season passes are available through our Parks and Recreation Department and at the entrance booth. It really is a great value for a summer full of fun - especially during those dog days of summer when the mercury reaches 100 degrees!

Kendall County resident season passes are only $75 per carload and passes for others from outside Kendall County are only $125 per carload.

Boerne residents just need to bring a current Boerne utility bill or property tax bill to show proof of residency and then there is no charge at the gate.

There are lots of fun things to do there - a playground, a pavilion for special events, picnic units with grills, walking trails, a Frisbee-disc golf course, fishing and boating.

I do want to let folks know that boats, jet skis or any craft with a combustion engine are not allowed on the lake. Kayaks, canoes, sailboats, paddleboards and boats that use electric trolling motors are OK. Why, you may ask? - Boerne City Lake is one of Boerne’s primary sources of drinking water, so keeping it as pure as possible is critical to our residents.

If people want more info on this or any other Boerne Parks and Recreation department programs they can visit our website at www.boerne-tx. gov/Parks .

And the best news of all - with these great spring rains, our lake level is up nearly six feet compared to this same time last year.

Letters to the Editor

Protect our water An open letter to Gov. Greg Abbott, Sen. Donna Campbell and Rep. Doug Miller: I am not a fan of big government, but there are times when we need your help to protect us from ourselves. Water is one of the biggest issues staring at this and future generations.

We have established statewide, regional and local entities to work within a framework of water management strategies.

And these agencies have issued worthwhile management reports such as: Areas Experiencing Significant Groundwater Decline, 1985-1995, A Study of Drought in Texas (1959), and Changes in Water Levels in Texas, 1995-2005. Yet we keep doing what we and other states like California have been doing such as building another pipeline (reference Burleson to San Antonio Vista Ridge project drawing water from the Carrizo-Wilcox/Simsboro aquifer) or budgeting for projects such as additional reservoir construction at the recommendation of the 2012 State Water Plan.

A recent news article quoted a GMA Manager that they are taking steps toward creating a regional planning explanatory report because “it’s not like we are ever going to stop using aquifers.” Are we really expecting different results?

There are some individuals and entities willing to sell their water rights; and the profits can be significant. However, if San Antonio had the forethought to purchase 50,000 acre feet (trusting the seller has not oversold available acre feet in times of drought, being water bankrupt) that is within the geographical triangle of Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio - what does that do for the rest of the regions dealing with growth and subsequent water shortage?

Rainwater catchment systems have proven they can meet a family’s water needs. Yet there are powerful naysayers regarding rainwater catchment.

Some comments that have been heard or quoted are: we are unable to control the quality of individual systems; you cannot require a private property owner (individual or developer) to install a catchment system (we do require them to connect to a septic or wastewater management system); builders will

Rainwater catchment needs to be part of the discussion because it is part of the solution.

Working together for animals The Kendall County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center is benefiting from the volunteer efforts of 20 local veterinarians. Beginning in January, a rotation was established for a veterinarian to visit the shelter each week to perform physical examinations and provide guidance to the shelter staff regarding any special care a pet may need. Sheriff, Al Auxier, initiated this program last fall.

Medical care for shelter animals is extremely limited due to financial constraints, but with veterinary participation, free samples of certain medications have been obtained to manage flea infestations and intestinal parasites. Having the animals evaluated by a veterinarian helps the adoption process by providing reassurance that the pet is in good general health or inform an adopter that a pet may need future medical treatment (for dental disease, ear infections, etc) and be prepared for medical costs.

The Kendall County Sheriff’s office wishes to thank the doctors from the following veterinary hospitals for their generous donations of time and expertise: Bergheim Pet Hospital, Boerne Veterinary Clinic, Cibolo Creek Veterinary Hospital, Fair Oaks Ranch Veterinary Clinic, Herbst Veterinary Clinic, Heart of the Hills Veterinary Center, Kendall County Veterinary Center, Morrison Veterinary Clinic and Waters Veterinary Services.

Mass meeting at Boerne High School Boerne has decided to build its own hospital. It’s now or never. The next epidemic may be polio.

Boerne schools have just been closed for three weeks because of an epidemic.

The epidemic upset the entire year for several hundred pupils, a score or more teachers, every one of hundreds of parents, caused suffering and in some cases, perhaps lasting disabilities to the health

of the sick ones, of which there were close to 500.

The only good thing about the epidemic was that the doctors were able to treat the little patients in their homes.

That was good because if they had needed a hospital, there wouldn’t have been any.

April 8, 1965 Disaster loans deadline April 30 W.E. Woodman, acting regional director, Small Business Administration Regional Office, San Antonio, has announced that the deadline for filing applications under the disaster loan program in Kendall County will be April 30, 1965.

Because of the Sept. 25, 1964, flood, Kendall County was declared a disaster area; thus, affected victims were eligible to apply for assistance.

The authorization to conduct this type of program automatically expires six months from the month in which the area was declared a disaster area.

Viewpoints The why of the thing matters PROGRESSIVE VIEWS Cindy Offutt KENDALL COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY

“This bill is not about discrimination, and if I thought it legalized discrimination I would have vetoed it.”

- Republican Governor Mike Pence of Indiana It’s more than a little interesting that Governor Pence signed Indiana’s original so-called “religious freedom” law at a private ceremony on March 26 - one to which a number of ultraconservative religious and legislative leaders were invited.

The press and the public were not.

It’s also interesting that Pence was totally unable to articulate a coherent answer to the very straight-forward questions of ABC’s George Stephanopoulos about whether the law permitted discrimination against gays and lesbians. The governor tried to dodge the issue and ended up looking the fool.

Once a firestorm of protest against the law erupted, Governor Pence and Indiana’s Republican legislature were compelled to back-peddle.

On April 2, the governor signed “clarifications” that the Indiana legislature had passed earlier in the day. The “clarifications” preclude the law from being used as a defense in a lawsuit for discrimination, and goes on to bar discrimination based on “race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or military service.”

Indiana’s initial version of its so-called “religious freedom” law went further than other Religious Freedom and Restoration Acts (aka RFRA laws).

Absent the “clarifications,” the Indiana law would have permitted private companies and businesses to use the law as a defense against lawsuits alleging anti-gay discrimination.

Or to put it another way, the Indiana law would have extended the definition of “people” to include businesses and then would have given religious people, including businesses, a special and unprecedented exemption from anti-discriminatory laws and ordinances.

Here in Texas - and despite the fact that our state has had its own RFRA since 1999 - Senator Donna Campbell has proposed an amendment that she maintains is needed to protect the “religious freedom” of Texans.

Supporters have tried to play the victimization card by portraying opponents as having launched a frontal attack on religious liberties - the so-called “War on Christianity.” This isn’t about discrimination, they contend - it’s about freedom and liberty versus a big, bad, over-reaching government that’s out to crush our constitutional rights.

What hogwash!

The reality is that this new wave of “religious freedom” laws has been pushed by conservative Christian organizations because they understand they are losing the fight to extend equal rights to gay and transgender citizens, especially marriage rights.

At their fundamentalist base, the laws were intentionally designed to permit overt discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender citizens under the guise of “religious freedom.”

In effect, the law says that because my interpretation of my religion finds homosexuality abhorrent, I have the right to refuse to let you sit at my lunch counter or purchase goods at my shop or rent at my apartment complex.

Hmmmm... where have we heard such justifications - or rather, pretexts - before?

Could it be when “religious freedom” was used to justify racism, segregation and interracial marriage?

Thankfully, in those instances, “religious freedom” failed to stop the march of history just as “religious freedom” should not now be used as a defense to excuse homophobic intolerance.

But there’s another troubling aspect about these laws - and that would be the Law of Unintended Consequences.

What’s to be done, for example, when the man whose sincerely held religious beliefs make him the supreme authority within his household and he uses that belief to excuse his abuse of his wife and children?

Or when the Muslim proprietor of a restaurant refuses to serve a group of women because - contrary to his sincerely held religious beliefs - they have the audacity to be seen in public without covering their heads?

Or when the teacher - whose sincerely held religious beliefs consider homosexuality a sin - refuses to permit a gay student into his classroom?

The Texas Association of Businesses - no leftwing, liberal organization that - has come out against Senator Campbell’s bill. And as the Texas Freedom Network has pointed out, “The language in these amendments is so vague and broad that it would almost certainly ... allow people to use religion as a weapon to harm others ...”

Polls repeatedly show that a majority of the American people now support equal rights for gay and transgender citizens. And indeed, the enormous pushback against Indiana’s law signals it is a bridge too far for most Americans.

The new wave of so-called “religious freedom” laws are motivated, pure and simple, by the demands of an intolerant, but vocal, minority. It’s up to the rest of us to stand firm against such bigotry.

If Senator Campbell’s so-called “religious freedom” amendment makes it through this year’s legislative session, Texans should vote it down in November.

Undoubtedly there will be widespread commentary on the “framework” for the Obama administration’s “nuclear deal” with Iran.

One reason that I hesitate to comment on complex foreign affairs issues is that Americans don’t have access to military intelligence given to presidents. We don’t know all the facts.

Still, we can certainly comment on overall trends of behavior that administrations demonstrate that give us a clear idea of policy effectiveness.

Some Americans accuse President Obama of turning his back on our friends while he romances traditional adversaries.

I have no problem with reaching out and having dialogue with foes. For example, President Reagan’s diplomacy with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev led to an actual reduction of nuclear arms.

As we all know, and as even most liberals now admit, Reagan’s “peace through strength” approach helped win the Cold War. Effective negotiating requires a quid pro quo, where both parties benefit. This is where Obama’s “accomplishments” to date fall short. He normalized relations with Cuba, yet got nothing in return. Did this enhance freedom for Cuban dissidents? Not at all; if you complain about the Castro brothers (Fidel and Raul, not Julian and Joaquin), you’ll get three hots and a cot (if even that) in a jail cell.

Obama dissed allies Poland and the Czech Republic by reversing a promise of a missile defense system so he could suck up to the KGB thug Putin. What was the result of this capitulation? Russia invaded the Ukraine.

Needless to say the involvement of Obama’s political operatives in an attempt to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu was over the top and an unprecedented action for a US President. This actually backfired as polls show that 70 percent of Israelis don’t trust Obama to safeguard their interests; they voted accordingly.

These examples, and many more, make you question whose side the president is actually on.

I realize that, having been exposed to a steady diet of far left thinking when growing up and working as a community organizer, Obama’s worldview is rather non-traditional.

But who is he going to throw under the bus next, Canada?

Oh that’s right, he already did that by vetoing the Keystone Pipeline as a sop to his buddy Warren Buffett, who makes a lot of

day services due to a building permit dispute.”

The Rev. Cummins said the Sunday celebration of the Mass will be moved to the Rainbow Senior Citizen Center, capable of holding 700 people. Sunday services will be relocated effective Palm Sunday, April 9.

Church officials applied for a building permit last year to raze a portion of the 1923 church building and replace it with a new sanctuary.

The Boerne city council denied the permit stating the structure was in an historical district. Archbishop Flores of the San Antonio Diocese filed suit against the city citing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed into law by Pres.

Clinton in 1993.

Last week, Snoek was announced as one of 14 recipients of the grant.

The Keystone Pipeline would dilute Buffett’s gravy train, no pun intended.

This brings us back to Iran. Obama claims it is a good deal. We’ll see when details are revealed. But I have to admit skepticism when just last weekend the Ayatollah Khamenei rallied his country to endorse nuclear negotiations with us while at the same time shouting “Death to America.”

Hmm, that doesn’t sound very friendly, does it Barack?

Could it be that Iranians are simply playing Obama to have sanctions removed so they can afford to continue supporting worldwide terrorism?

Iran has pledged to wipe Israel off the face of the map. And a petulant Obama wonders why Israelis don’t trust him, and Netanyahu dares to challenge his thinking!

Though the Soviets were certainly a nuclear threat, that they were atheists helped check any desire to actually push the button.

They were afraid of both mutual assured destruction (MAD) and leaving their socialist paradise as they did not believe in the afterlife.

Iran’s leaders are zealots who believe that martyrs will be rewarded with 72 virgins, so what check do we have on this insanity?

True, Americans don’t have access to detailed intelligence reports that presidents receive. Yet, perhaps they’re no more in the dark than Obama, as former Defense Department officials indicate that Obama misses many of his daily briefings.

Lt. General Michael Flynn, retired director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, testified that clear warnings of ISIS threats were given to Obama, who claimed ISIS was just “the JV squad.” Tell that to the families of Americans and others who have been beheaded or burned alive by these savages.

Former Obama Defense Secretaries Leon Panetta and Robert Gates gave stinging critiques of the president’s lackadaisical approach.

Sadly, this is to no avail. In 2008, Obama was quoted as saying, “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m a better political director than my political director.”

This is an extremely arrogant view of himself, a real sign of narcissism. Any competent executive will surround himself with quality people and actively seek their advice, not belittle them.

What Obama knows and believes is scary enough. What he doesn’t know but thinks he knows anyway is even scarier.

Amazingly and totally unintentionally, Obama’s actions have for the first time ever united Israel and Arab states. They agree on the need to contain Iran’s nefarious plans.

Now that actually sounds like “change that we can believe in!”

Race between enlightenment and senility “Sometimes you can spend your whole life growing into what was given to you in your youth,� says James Finley. How true that has proven to be for me.

My blessing was to be introduced to Christ at a very early age. In my teens I felt God was “calling me to preach the Gospel,� (as it was verbalized in my denomination). I hit college with a determination to be a great preacher.

I majored and minored in Christian theology and Bible. I went on to get another theology degree from a great seminary. But knowing theology is not the same thing as knowing God. By definition, theology is the study of the nature of God and religious belief.

St. Paul was an accomplished theologian before he actually came to know God personally. Meeting the living Christ on the road to Damascus altered far more than his highly developed theology - it changed his whole life. The man who knew about God became the man who actually knew God. He was delivered from toxic religion and spent the rest of his life evangelizing his world with the Good News that Christ is life. Theology is not life.

Christ is life and Paul taught that we can all meet and know the true living Christ.

Paul’s writings comprise most of the New Testament. He was Christ’s chosen vessel to take the Gospel to non-Jewish peoples and, in the process, he laid a solid theological foundation for the faith of all who would thereafter call themselves “Christians.�

I wish I had been a better student than I was back in college and seminary.

I really do. But at this stage of life I would much rather know Christ better than to know theology better. Finley’s

PRODIGAL’S PERSPECTIVE

Tom Lanier

observation is comforting because it describes me and so many of my “maturing� friends.

The Christ I met as a child in Sunday School so long ago is the Christ I still want to know - more now than ever. As distressed as I get over the lack of solid Biblical scholarship reflected from some American pulpits and media, I’m more drawn these days to spiritual teachers and preachers whose obvious desire is to know God in daily reality than to argue systematic theology.

Humble transparency seems to be the common denominator among those who seek intimacy with God - a childlike lack of concern over their ecclesiastical image or reputation among the orthodox.

Jesus said we can know only the things of God in a personal way if we become as little children. He meant it. This idea so often conflicts with us preachers with our theology degrees, titles and ecclesiastical garb.

Bill Gilham said he got over his ego needs to be call “Doctor Gilham� when the Holy Spirit whispered to his heart - “Even Jesus went by his first name only.�

Biblical scholarship is needed today.

The American church is all over the map in contending core belief systems. “Study to show thyself approved unto God....� is the Scriptural admonition

that will always stand. But should we clergy be so surprised that so many are turning away from a religion that only wants to win theological debates - to prove ourselves “right� and the other guys “wrong?�

The “child� within all of us is crying out to actually experience the God that Jesus showed us! We hunger for more than moralistic posturing over the social and cultural issues of the day.

Sometimes I think the cycle is set in concrete: A young man or woman is “called� into the ministry. Their childlike faith is the real deal. But as they go off to school we can almost predict that they’ll return steeped in theological lingo, but phony and full of themselves.

Then, God mercifully begins the inevitable “breaking� process through which they once again return in deep personal need to the God of their childhood - the God who is too big to box up in theological propositions - the Jesus we sang about, who “loves me because the Bible tells me so.�

Sometimes it takes a lifetime to grow into what was given to us in our youth.

Finley laughs as he confesses, “At this stage, I find myself in a race between enlightenment and senility.� In his 70s, James Finley’s lifetime of heavy theology, philosophy and psychology is illuminated not by a lifetime of scholarship, but by his personal knowledge and experience with the living Christ.

The boy who ran away to a monastery is now, so many years later, still humbly seeking the simple knowledge of intimate communion with Jesus. “I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead.� - St. Paul.

If you don’t get it right the ďŹ rst time, you don’t get a second chance! 31 of our customers came back a second time.

Hill Country Memorial’s Restore welcomes you to a free hip & knee replacement presentation.

Who are your friends?

My granddaughter is 4, going on 40.

Early in her third year she said to her father, “Sit down Daddy, let’s talk.

Who are your friends?� Kids can say the funniest things that sometimes turn out to be quite profound.

I have read a number of things lately that remind me of how important friendships are. A person with no friends has a lonely existence.

A friend once said to me that friends are not made, they are a gift. There are, of course, different levels of friendship, which is a part of the natural ebb and flow of life.

Having had a military career, I have friends scattered all over the country.

Some were friends for a time while others are still very close.

In our mobile society it is impossible for most people to keep up with all the friendships they have had over the years.

Friends are important for many reasons, one being they have influence on our lives. We all know or have heard of a teenager who “got in with the wrong crowd.�

Then of course, there is the other side of the equation - those who have mentored us or come alongside in trying times.

ON THE JOURNEY

Jack Purcell

A number of years ago I wrote an essay titled “My Heroes.� It told the story of three men who had a strong impact on my life.

One was a preacher-friend, another was a farmer-second father, and the third was a soldier who died in combat. These three men all had one thing in common. They were completely trustworthy.

I said earlier that there are different levels of friendship. Those that we are apt to call our “best friends.� and hopefully you have more than one, are the ones we trust. They accept us as we are, warts and all.

If you have ever done something really stupid, you may have discovered who your real friends are.

Authentic friends are those that love you even when you are not very lovable. That attribute is, of course, found in God who loves us no matter

what.

In James 2:23 we are told, “...And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.�

I am not going to say that to be a good friend you have to be a friend of God, but if our best friends have the most influence on us, it seems the better part of wisdom would be to align ourselves with those who are filled with the love of God. In his letter to Philemon, the Apostle Paul openly expressed his love for his dear friend, “Every time your name comes up in my prayers, I say, ‘Oh, thank you, God!’ I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other Christians.� (Philemon 1:4-5) We have talked about the value of friendships and that true friends are a real gift based on trust. Now let’s make it a little more personal.

What kind of friend are you? Are you trustworthy? Do your friends feel safe with you? Maybe this is a key question for you.

Have you told your friends how you feel about them? Actions are not always enough. This is a time when words take on very real importance.

Tapatio Springs names firm for redesign work The Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort & Spa in Boerne has contracted with Tripp Davis and Associates (TDA) to prepare a master plan for renovation and redesign of its 18-hole golf course.

First opened in 1983, the Tapatio Springs Resort is regarded as one of the best resorts in Texas and has been a winter haven for golfers from across the U.S. and Canada.

“Tapatio Springs is in the Texas Hill Country just outside San Antonio and it’s a beautiful property with great rolling terrain, huge old live oaks, and great vistas,” said Tripp Davis. “The golf course

was originally well routed so there is a good foundation for us to work with in terms of updating the course. While our focus will be to make the course more playable, our intent also is to provide an enjoyable golf experience for resort guests and local members.”

Work undertaken by Tripp Davis will include enhancing the existing driving range, enlarging tee boxes, reshaping greenside bunkers and leveling off some fairways for improved irrigation.

Davis and his team have already started the work and should complete the driving range redesign and

renovation and redesign of one-third of the tees and a quarter of the bunkers by the end of April.

Tips on how to be an ‘environmental’ investor Next week, we observe the 45th anniversary of Earth Day. Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day has inspired millions of people to take action to improve the environment.

But the lessons of environmentalism can also be applied to other areas of life, such as investing. Specifically, as an investor, you may well want to follow the “three Rs”: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Let’s see how these environmental themes can be applied to your investment habits: • Reduce - Many of us probably own more things than we really need. In fact, if all the other people on Earth used as much “stuff” as we do in the United States, the planet would need to have three to five times more space just to hold and sustain everybody, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

So from an environmental standpoint, it might be smart for all of us to “streamline” our possessions. And the same could be true for our investments - it’s not always a case of “the more, the merrier.”

It’s particularly important not to own too many of the same type of investments, because you could suffer a setback in a market downturn that primarily affects those assets.

• Reuse - One way of being environmentally conscious is to repair, rather than replace, durable goods such as bicycles, washers, dryers, etc.

After all, “new” is not always better.

Many investors are also prone to tossing out the old and bringing in the new and not always with the best results.

For example, some investors switch their overall strategy every so often in attempts to capitalize on some trend they have heard about. But you’re almost certainly better off by sticking with a long-term strategy that’s appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

Of course, within your strategy you can make adjustments as your circumstances change over time, but there’s

conditions to help achieve your optimal lifestyle.

Ron Warden EDWARD JONES INVESTMENTS

Learn more / hcmboerne.com probably no need to toss your entire approach overboard.

As you invest, though, always be aware that the value of your investments will fluctuate, and there are no guarantees that you won’t lose value.

• Recycle - Aluminum cans become airplane parts, old phone books are transformed into textbooks and plastic beverage containers may end up as the carpeting on your floors.

It’s truly amazing how recycling can give new life to old, unwanted products.

In a way, you can also “recycle” investments that no longer meet your needs, either because your circumstances have changed or because the investments themselves have become fundamentally altered - as is the case when a company in which you invested has shifted its focus or taken its business in a new direction.

Instead of just liquidating the investment and using the cash to buy, say, an ultra-highdefinition television with all the bells and whistles, you could find a new use for the proceeds in your investment portfolio.

To name one possibility, you could use the money to help save for a child’s college education. Or you might use it to help fill other gaps in your portfolio.

By following the “reduce, reuse and recycle” philosophy, you can help make the world a “greener” place to live.

And by applying the same principles to the way you invest, you can create a healthier environment in which to pursue your important financial goals.

THE BOERNE STAR

Recordkeeping ... spring cleaning Before we dig a little deeper into the basics of recordkeeping, how did you fare with completing the following statements?: I know I need to keep records but______________ ________________.

I commit today to establish a recordkeeping system that will help me ____________ _______________________ ______________________.

We all know life happens for us all, and our best laid plans get put on the back burner. Yet, these two statements rise up each day you wake up to another opportunity to face and resolve your barriers.

You will then be able to recharge your commitment to establishing and maintaining a recordkeeping routine.

Your routine needs to become a natural part of your daily life. Otherwise, the task facing you each day gets harder.

You will then get discouraged enough to quit all together. That’s when it gets really tough down the road.

With that caution, let’s assume you have said goodbye to something and hello to time set aside for recordkeeping. Always remember, it’s not just about balancing your checkbook or getting your FIT (federal income tax) return done on time.

Recordkeeping involves every aspect of your personal and business finances but also those memories you want to last forever with those you love.

So, let’s get started. First, if you haven’t already, make a dedicated physical space for keeping your financial records, both personal and business. For most, it’s where your computer may be ... at a desk, in a room converted to an office or maybe even just a converted closet.

I don’t recommend you put your space in your bedroom. There is always the temptation to get up to work on something. You will then lose out on precious sleep needed to keep the books!

Let alone keep your spouse awake or miss out on some “more enjoyable endeavors” in that room!

And if the reader happens to be single .... well, I won’t go there! I will leave that with you!

Whatever physical space you feel you need, start creating that space. And by all means, keep it simple.

Simple basically means an adequate desk, recording tools (from pencils, journal pad or even more versatile, a computer with a money management software program), printer and phone.

Include good lighting of course. For some, the space needs to be quiet. For others, a little music in the background helps. It all depends on your personality, work

FROM THE HEART

habits, and how easily you are distracted.

I know there are still those who manually record income and expenses in a journal.

For some, this may work fine for them, particularly if that is what they are used to and have a small household with a manageable amounts to record.

Yet with technology at every doorstep and inside just about every room of the home and business, maybe it’s time to step into the 21st century? To learn quickly and easily, your local library will undoubtedly have free classes.

So at this point, I am going to assume you have a computer and are familiar with a money management program, such as Quicken or Microsoft Money. There are others out there you can check out to see which one works for you.

If you have a business, there may already be a program available to you. Either way, this type of program can help you record and create reports needed over time for both personal and business, including tax-reporting tools.

Most of these programs also have a personal and/ or business inventory feature where you can actually keep a record of your purchased possessions that become a part of your overall assets.

The inventory records should account for depreciation on any item with “replacement” or “market” value. We all know that even the day we buy that new car and drive one mile from the dealer’s parking lot, it just depreciated at least 10 percent.

With giving time, commitment and physical space to recordkeeping, now it’s time to learn about those basic recordkeeping tools to create and maintain throughout your life.

They are Net Worth, Budget, Home and Possessions Inventory, Benevolence and Giving, Emergency Records and Life and Family Memories.

Here is your homework assignment. Go online and find out what is included in a net worth statement (both personal, and business if you own one). Then look at your assets and liabilities. What do they tell you?

Do they reflect what is most important to you, and do they support your values, dreams and life goals?

Keep in mind what Suze Orman says, “When it comes to money, freedom starts to happen when what you do, think and say are one.”

Orman also said in her

Champion High School social studies teacher and 2015 BISD Teacher of the Year Kim Grosenbacher, left, receives a certificate of appreciation from Nathan Taylor, president of Boerne SAR.

Champion Teacher of the Year tells SAR chapter ways to remember U.S. Constitution The Boerne chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), at its March 28 meeting, heard Boerne Champion High School teacher of the year Kim Grosenbacher present facts about the U.S. Constitution, her specialty.

Grosenbacher, who teaches social studies, gave the 20 SAR members and their spouses a “lesson” taken from material she acquired at a recent national Bill of Rights Institute Liberty & Security program where she was one of only 20 teachers from around the country chosen to attend.

The lesson contained a way to remember the seven articles of the Constitution by knowing what LEJFASR means, namely Legislative, Executive, Judicial, Federalism, Amending, Supremacy and Ratification.

SAR members and their spouses then were given hypothetical situations and were asked to determine which article of the Constitution applied.

The Sons of the American Revolution is a patriotic organization open to all males who can trace their ancestry to people who served in the Revolutionary War or who contributed to establishing the independence of the United States.

The society is dedicated to perpetuating American ideals and traditions, and to protecting the Constitution.

The local chapter meets monthly at Fair Oaks Ranch Country Club for a luncheon and to hear guest speakers.

“Nine Steps to Financial Freedom,” “... most people’s biggest problems in life even those that appear on the surface not to be money related - are directly connected with their early, formative experiences with money.”

As you study your net worth this coming week, prepare yourself to create (or review if you already have one, which is definitely rare!) a budget. Yes, there’s that “B” word.

My hope once you integrate a budget into your life plan and follow it, with some flexibility of course, you may begin to see the Beauty in your Budget, rather than the “Beast!”

I leave you for the moment with a tip or two from Orman’s financial spring cleaning: No Blame, No Shame; Take a Snapshot of Your Finances; Adopt a Foolproof Credit Card Strategy; Try Harder to Save; Separate Savings from Investments; Know your Credit Score; Evaluate your Retirement Plan; Diversify Your Assets; Don’t Obsess Over Your Home’s Value; Protect Your Family & Your Nest Egg.

BHS one-act play wins district, competes for bi-district today Boerne High School’s 24-member One-Act Play team is advancing to bi-district competition after winning UIL district competition for the first time since 1998.

Three BHS seniors - Madison Rogers, Kylie Quintero and Ryan Mund - earned individual performance awards as members of the cast. Mackenzie Downard, a junior, earned the top technician award.

The BHS one-act play, “The Beggar’s Opera,” was written by John Gay, adapted by Charles Jeffries and Jerry Knight, directed by Israel Aviles_ and presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. The play tells the story of a group of ragtag street beggars in early 18th century London

who decide to perform their own “opera” to show that “even the lower members of society have their vices, in a degree, as well as the rich.”

This political satire, is a fun comedy that was originally intended to awaken British society to the hypocrisy, wrongdoing and injustices carried out by the upper and middle classes against the poor of the age.

Based on this district win, BHS students successfully recreated the environment and characters of the 1700s London street corner, where all the action of the play takes place.

The Greyhounds now advance to the bi-district round of competition on April 10, which will take place at Lytle High School.

Geneva’s Sara Beth Stolle runs the hurdles in recent meet. The Eagles were at the Comfort meet last week and set 8 school records.

In a saga that could rival a never-ending story, Comfort’s varsity girls once again proved up to the challenges on the track and in the field with another solid team finish in their own home meet.

The Comfort Nation Pre-District Relays held Thursday, April 2 showcased 13 schools ranging in

“A” status from Harper (2A) to Round Rock Stony Point (6A) and Comfort (3A) held its own against some of the state’s best programs. The Deer managed 61 points in a meet that was twice the size in number of schools than the 25-3A meet which Comfort will be part of on April 15-16.

What the Deer got was a team effort with 12 of 18 girls scoring at least one

point and a couple managing double digits in the their contributions.

Valentina Campos started things off by winning the 3200 meters in a time of 12:21. Campos came back later to run the 800 where she came in fifth at 2:31 and she ran third leg of the 4x400 where she had her best split of the season at 66.06. She

Area Golf League Results Golf is an unpredictable game. Great rounds are frequently be followed by truly awful performances. At other times players can suddenly discover a key to their swing or mental game and go from terrifically bad to terrific in an instant.

Professional golfers know how difficult it can be to maintain a predictable game and work very hard to keep playing at a superior level.

Every player does best with different amounts of tournament play, practice and rest.

Some golfers need to play as many tournaments as possible to keep their edge, but others need time off to avoid mental burnout or physical exhaustion.

Peak performance is nearly impossible to maintain for very long, so golfers try to match their bursts of great play with the tournament schedule.

Every pro wants to play best at major tournaments, beginning with the Masters in early spring, so golfers pay special attention to the rhythm of their schedule as spring rolls around.

The tournaments in San Antonio and Houston lead into the Masters this year and

the great field of players in San Antonio was partly due to pros wanting to prepare their games on what has come to be known as one of the toughest courses on tour. The Houston tournament capitalizes on being the lead-in to the Masters and grooms the course and the greens to match Augusta National as much as possible.

San Antonio’s Chris Finger had his game primed to peak at the last Good Old Boys tournament. Finger had suffered through the gray winter weather along with the rest of us, and when the grass began to turn green he went in search of a little green of his own. Finger shot to the top of the field and took first place with 8 points from a round of 90. He cemented his winning performance with a string of early pars on the back nine and eased his way home to victory.

Woody Clark of Bandera has been playing with the Good Old Boys for a long time. He’s been working extra hard on his game of late and it all came together at the tournament. Clark had the best round of his golfing career, shooting 80 to earn 7 points

pion advantage.

After the Tigers didn’t score in the top of the second, the Chargers added 2 more runs in the bottom half of the frame.

Austin Blanford started the inning with a triple and then Cole Knight reached on a fielder’s choice. Kelton Roe singled and scored Blanford for the 4-0 lead. Knight later scored on a Shipp single and the Chargers were up 5-0.

Three straight singles allowed the Tigers to scratch for a run in the top of the fourth, but the Chargers

answered that with a run of their own in the bottom of the inning. Bullinger tripled and was driven in by Aldaco for the 6-1 cushion.

Floresville plated one more run in the top of the sixth after a double, single and sac fly to make it 6-2, but that’s where the rally ended and the Chargers recorded the 4-run victory.

the second half, but the Panthers couldn’t do anything with it, while Boerne tallied 4 goals when they had it.

“I didn’t expect it, once the game got going I didn’t think the wind was a factor at all,” he said. “They got their goal and then we bounced back, we started flat and responded within the first minute.”

Liberty Hill scored in the first few minutes but the Lady Hounds answered back right away when Marissa Fernandez tied it up at 1-1.

Emma Lindley then put the Hounds ahead for good at 2-1 a few minutes later and Boerne held a lead they

would never relinquish.

The Hounds extended their lead late in the first half after Cassidy Miller kicked one in on a busted play with 8:11 left until halftime for the 3-1 lead. And then with only 22 ticks on the clock until halftime, Emily Blaettner put Boerne up 4-1.

Liberty Hill had the wind in the second half, but the Lady Hounds still dominated field possession. The Hounds also scored another goal after Paige Marcell knocked one in with 33:01 left in the match, while Liberty Hill was shutout in the final 40 minutes.

BHS had five players score in Tuesday’s match and also had three players score their three goals in their secondround match up last week vs.

Lampasas.

“That’s something we’ve been working on, getting different girls involved. For the most part I like to move them around, and because of injuries, I like to be prepared,” Atilano said. “Some of these girls who haven’t been getting a lot of playing time are stepping up big.”

Blaettner tallied 2 assists in the match and Shelby Gee came up with 5 saves in 80 minutes of play.

Steely Lott had a career best high jump with 5-0 and claimed the silver medal in a tie-breaker with a jumper from Faith Academy who had fewer misses overall.

Natsha Castro took a silver medal – her best finish of the season – in the pole vault where she went over 8-0.

Raegan Lauderdale also added field event points in the high jump where she equaled a personal best with 4-10. Lauderdale then ran legs on Comfort’s fifth place relays in the 4x100 and 4x200. The 4x100 also consisted of Emily Aldrich, Jada

Aguilar and Sara Zunker and shaved another second off their previous best time with 53.43.

Ryana Butler turned in her season best in the 100 hurdles and was fourth in 17.38.

Avery Tucker earned sixth for Comfort with 18.01.

Butler anchored the 4x200 that also had Alondra Lozano as the lead leg, and Lauderdale and Aguilar completing the team.

Lozano also led off the 4x400, and in between her relay races, she came in fourth in the 400 meters and posted a season best time for

her of 64.5. Lozano led off the 4x400 with another 64 and some change.

The 4x400, which also had Aguilar, Campos and Alex Ely, was in silver medal contention with Harper at the anchor leg part of the race when a freakish semi-collision between Ely and Faith Academy’s anchor knocked the baton from Ely’s hand.

That delay dampened a solid performance from the relays’ usual first three of Lozano, Aguilar and Campos, but Ely persevered and still managed to help the relay tie its season best with 4:27.

4 new Eagle Scouts take flight at Court of Honor Hunter Baum, Bo Moyer, Jared Schiess and Michael Sosa of Boy Scouts of America Troops 85 and 185 were recognized for all their hard work and exemplary leadership at their Eagle Court of Honor, Saturday, March 21, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Eagle Scout Award requires successfully progressing through five boy scout ranks, earning a minimum of 21 merit badges, serving six months in a troop leadership position, planning, developing, and giving leadership to a service project for any religious organization, school or community; taking part in a Scoutmaster conference; and successfully completing an Eagle board of review.

Baum’s Eagle Project consisted of the construction of trashcan receptacles at selected places at the Boerne Lake. He was able to get material donated by a few businesses and a few individuals in the community.

His project helps to keep the lake and countryside clean and inviting.

Moyer did an Eagle Project that benefited Hill Country Family Services. He collected used bicycles which were cleaned and repaired to good working condition, and then given to needy families. Over 20 scouts and eight adults participated in the project, with 20 families donating used bikes.

The project was self funded with extra parts traded for those needed and individuals donating extra supplies like paint, rags and cleaning supplies.

Moyer said the biggest challenge was learning about the different bikes and how to repair them.

Schiess’ Eagle Project entailed new landscaping for The Bookstore Under the Windmill next to the Boerne Public Library. He, along with other scouts, installed the base to the water tank as well as planting a butterfly garden onsite in a water

His project also included installing new walks and concrete planter boxes as well as other landscaping there.

Sosa’s Eagle Project consisted of putting in 10 cement foundations and metal frames for swivel trash-

can receptacles at the Northrup Park baseball fields. The 2x4s for the framing, the cement, as well as many man hours digging and working cement were all donated to the project by scouts and friends in the community.

All four Eagle Scouts extend thanks to the many friends, families and

local businesses for their support and donations to their projects, and making it possible for them to give something back to the community.

Baum and Sosa would also like to especially thank Donnie Bergmann, City of Boerne Parks and Recreation superintendant, for his help with their projects.

Getting ready for the mowing season ‘cuz here it is Like it or not, it is - or almost is - grass-mowing time. Personally, I like the smell of fresh-mown grass.

But, I’m a little weird, I’m told.

The job goes a lot better if the lawn mower is ready to do its job. I hope you drained the gas out of it last fall when you quit mowing.

To get the lawn mower ready, go buy a new spark plug, an air cleaner if your mower is equipped with one, an oil filter if your mower has one, and some good quality oil.

Take out the old spark plug first - pull on the connector, not the wire. Don’t put the new one in yet.

Drain the old oil into a can that you can dispose of properly. Don’t dump it in the sewer or on the yard.

We don’t want to drink your old oil when it goes into the aquifer!

Turn the mower over and remove the single bolt in the blade(s) and sharpen it (them) with a grinder or a file or take it (them) to be sharpened by a pro. Either way, you need a

sharp blade to cut the grass, not tear it. Tearing the grass just invites fungus problems.

Put the blade back on - wear gloves so you don’t cut your fingers. Be sure to tighten the bolt.

Change the oil filter now if your mower has one. Set the mower back upright and add the oil only to the “full” mark on the stick. More is not better.

Put the new spark plug in and attach the wire back on and be sure it is goes on all the way - they usually snap in place.

Put some clean gas in it, set the choke and give the rope a pull or two.

If it hasn’t been used for a few months, it may take several pulls to get it started.

It should start after three or four pulls. If it does, voila!

You just saved a bundle by doing it yourself. Aren’t you proud?

Mow the St. Augustine to 3 inches in the sun and 3-1/2 to 4 inches in the shade, Zoysia at 2 inches, Bermuda at 1 to 1-1/2 inches and Buffalo at 4 to 5 inches.

It’s really important to mow the grass at the proper height.

It helps make it healthier.

FERTILIZING THE LAWN ]You can fertilize your lawn after April 15. Use 19-5-9 or 15-5-10 slow-release lawn fertilizer. Follow the directions on the bag. Remember, more is not better.

If you use organic fertilizer, you’ll need to use about twice as much so be sure you read the directions carefully.

QUESTIONS I was at a neighborhood fair a while back. People asked all kinds of questions about particular plants at their homes.

Almost every time they asked why a particular plant wouldn’t grow or wouldn’t bloom. I asked, “What do you feed it?”

And the answer almost

always was, “Nothing.”

Then I asked, “And what do you expect to happen if you don’t feed it?”

Many people said, “I plant it and that’s it. If it grows, it grows. What else am I supposed to do?”

“Food, water, air and sunshine” I answered.

It makes so much sense to me. I guess people just don’t think of plants as living things that need to eat, drink and breathe and if it’s a green plant, sunshine. I don’t know what they think the plants are. It’s interesting to say the least.

At any rate, after you plant something, it needs fertilizer, water, air and sunshine. If any one of them is missing, the plant will suffer in some way; it won’t bloom, won’t set fruit, won’t grow, will wilt, will die eventually and you’re going to be disappointed.

How often do you fertilize it? All the time. If you use a liquid fertilizer like Hasta Gro or Miracle Grow, you have to repeat the feeding about every 7 to 10 days.

If you use an organic,

slow-release fertilizer like Soil Food 9-2-2, you need to repeat about every month or so.

If you use something like Osmocote, it usually lasts about 3 to 4 months so that every time you water, it releases a little fertilizer.

You’re supposed to water your plants when the soil gets

dry down about two joints on your finger. That’s the only way to tell for sure that it’s dry. You can’t just look at it and tell.

HUNGER FROM PAGE 1A Kendall County at 13.4 percent, 4,540 residents, including around 1,750 children, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough to eat. Almost 20 percent of Boerne ISD students depend on the federal meal program during the school year, but have few food resources during the summer months when school is not in session.

Schultz encouraged community support of the project, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to do whatever is necessary to feed these children. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our responsibility, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take care of our own.â&#x20AC;?

During the school year, Blessings in a Backpack sends weekend food home with children enrolled in the federal program, but because of limited resources, only to elementary school students and only to a portion of those.

Kathy Bandujo, local program coordinator for Blessings in a Backpack and one of a core group that envisioned the Boerne Community Coalition, called the new initiative a plate composed of puzzle pieces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a visual analogy for all the parts

Luminarias can be purchased at the event to in honor of someone battling cancer or in remembrance of someone who has lost their life because of the disease.

Each luminaria is $5 and will be decorated onsite with the intended individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on it.

From 9:45 p.m. to 11 p.m., festivities will continue with the chacha slide, limbo, chicken dance, hokey pokey and more minute-to-win-it

acquired in June 2014, then in August that year trustees approved an initial GMP for site clean-up and clearing of existing structures, which has been completed.

Schematic designs for the new facility were approved by trustees in October as were building elevations in January.

The second phaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GMP of $3.7 million was approved March 5, and included site utilities, grading, base material, building pad preparations, parking layouts,

games.

The fight back ceremony will begin at 11 p.m. to encourage people to get preventive screenings, take care of themselves and tell their loved ones to do the same.

At 11:20 p.m. there will be a pajama party followed by more minute-to-win-it games at 11:30 p.m. The closing ceremony will commence at midnight.

In addition to Blessings in a Backpack, organizations currently participating in the coalition include Alamo Resource Conservation and Development Area, the Boys and Girls Club, First United Methodist Church, Hill Country Family Services, Oak Hills Church, Rainbow Senior Center, San Antonio Food Bank, St. John Lutheran Church, Taking It to the Streets and the Boerne Family YMCA. Some programs are already in place or under development, each serving a limited number of children for varying time periods, but the coalition aims to include a broader representation of the entire community to feed every child in need everyday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This community has the heart and the giving spirit to do this, and we hope this meeting today is the beginning of the end of summer hunger for the children of Boerne,â&#x20AC;?

street cuts at entrances and other work in advance of construction.

The third phase of the project costs approximately $228 per square foot. Trustees had previously approved budget adjustments to account for a sharp increase in construction costs that has occurred since the 2013 bond budget was developed. The new Fabra campus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the last major construction project contained in the bond â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was initially developed when construction pricing was hovering in the $190-persquare-foot range.

The 97,400-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, according to information from BISD. The new facility is expected to accommodate approximately 800 students and be the next prototype for future elementary schools.

The new Fabra campus is anticipated to open by fall 2016.

Distict-wide audio-visual systems upgrades on all campuses and cabling at Fair Oaks Ranch Elementary are remaining bond projects expected to be presented to trustees at their April 20 meeting.

BISD students excel again at state Skills USA contest Boerne ISD students won four individual state titles and the BISD welding team won its ninth overall state championship at the Skills USA contest in Corpus Christi, March 26-28.

The welding team’s success included three individual state titles. Champion High School students Mia Carrola, Brian Muzny, Logan Bourgeois, Brandon Spreen and Jarrett Reynolds won the Welding-Trailer Division and the Overall Manufacturing State Championship with their 35-foot lowboy trailer with hydraulic ramps.

Boerne High School’s Nathan Day won the Innovative Manufacturing Division with his drifting tricycle.

When Sonora Bank opened for business in 1900, folks came to the bank in horse-drawn carriages. So much has changed in 115 years. Or has it?

Although our little bank grew to serve San Angelo and Boerne and embraced the latest products and services, we haven’t forgotten where we came from. If those old-timers could come back today, they’d see we still look a person in the eye, offer a wrm handshake, and close a deal with a smile. /hey wouldn’t be surprised that we remember their names and genuinely care about their well-being, because it’s a part of our /eÝas tradition. As we en oy our 115th year, we don’t know what the future has in store, but we can promise this q our tradition of eÝcellence continues.

Following the journey of the bells, bells, bells St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bells provide medieval link between church and community

BY ELENA TUCKER

â&#x2013; Features Writer

elena@boernestar.com

Midday on a Tuesday morning, a somber, rhythmic and low-pitched tone reverberates from one of Boerneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest points. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the E-flat bell that for many years has rung out from St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church. Some days the notes commemorate death, while even more often the bell chimes the hour and calls parishioners to mass.

The doleful sound can also ring in an offbeat duo with its more lighthearted F-note companion.

This happy clamor is referred to as a peal (although the Central Council for Church Bell Ringers defines a peal as more than 5000 note combinations amongst seven or more bells).

The two-tone, abbreviated peal that rings from St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s towers is used to announce good news such as weddings or the election of a new Pope.

According to genealogical website, www.rootsweb. com, it was in 1867 that Emil Fleury - builder, postulant priest, and French immigrant - was charged with erecting a Boerne-area church on a hill just south of the Cibolo.

Later, when a larger sanctuary was constructed in 1923, anecdotal history relates that the chapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bell was moved to the new church where it occupies the northern belfry. In 1998, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;partnerâ&#x20AC;? bell joined it, taking up residence in the southern tower.

No accounting is made of any original bell. It vanished, was sold or never existed, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to imagine that the small chapel stood for more than two decades (from 1867 to 1893) with an empty belfry. Such an absence is unlikely, given the critical community role played across the centuries by Catholic church bells.

The social and religious importance of bells dates back nearly a millennium. In the 13th century, a groundbreaking edict was issued by Pope Innocent III, to the effect that bells should be used to mark the hours and summon people to church. In this way, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;seamless link between bells and belief,â&#x20AC;? was established, writes historian John H. Arnold of the University of London.

St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bells are certainly of a size to summon the neighborhood. The churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;newerâ&#x20AC;? bell, was cast in 1926 and decades afterward was sold out of a belfry in Kearney, New Jersey. It has a circumference of 30.25 inches and tips the scales at 500 pounds, according to The Verdin Company (whose services are still used by the church and which company brokered the bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1998 sale).

The elder of the bell twosome enjoys a vibrant emerald patina reflective of its more venerable 1893 age. Although Verdin has no details on file with regard to this older bell, it

appears slightly smaller within the confines of north tower.

Both bells were cast by the McShane Bell Foundry in Glen Burnie, Maryland, crafted as such bells have always been crafted. Indeed, Stuart Walman, McShane office manager, said during a phone interview, that the process remains unchanged to this day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still done the same way,â&#x20AC;? even to using â&#x20AC;&#x153;horse manure in the sand as a binder.â&#x20AC;?

Because McShaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s archives are relatively inaccessible, Walman, too, was unable to provide any details regarding Boerneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1893 bell except to say that it would have been one of many shipped across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was probably the heyday. Between 1856 (when McShane was founded) and 1893 they cast quite a number of bells.â&#x20AC;?

Today, the original Catholic chapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belfry is occupied by a much smaller bell. No documentation exists regarding this bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provenance - but then again, it may not matter, since the bell seems to hold no significance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a cast iron bell that was used more for farms,â&#x20AC;?

Bob Verdin III of the Verdin Company said, upon being shown a photograph. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would guess that this bell came from a local farmer. This bell most definitely would date back to around 1940s or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s.â&#x20AC;?

Bill Parker of the McShane foundry confirms it to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;farm bell made from cast iron and mounted on a farm bell style bracket. Looks to be about 150 pounds.â&#x20AC;?

From its more prominent hilltop tower, each morning at 7 a.m., St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e-flat bell chimes once, twice, thrice. Pause. Once, twice, thrice. Pause. Once, twice, thrice. Pause. After which the bells ring nine more times.

What does this ringing pattern mean?

According to www.catholicism.org, this sequence of bells urges its listeners to recite a prayer called the Angelus (perhaps known more commonly known as the Hail Mary). â&#x20AC;?For the sake of uniformity, where the faithful may not be gathered together in one place, the traditional practice has the Angelus said to the stroke of a bell,â&#x20AC;? the website cites, explaining that each sequence of three bells represents each verse, response and Hail Mary.

But what do the final nine strokes signify? No ready answers turn up. This question, put to a variety of church historians, yielded nothing but consternation, including a query made to James Hitchcock, author of the recognized â&#x20AC;&#x153;History of the Catholic Church.â&#x20AC;?

When asked for clarification by the Boerne Star, Hitchcock responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There seems to be no clear answer to this.

Did the nine chimes originate

as the evening curfew after the Angelus and later got added to the two earlier ringings as well? That seems be as plausible a theory as any.â&#x20AC;?

Last fall, for a time, St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bells went silent. In a bid to avoid calling in the service company, facility manager Rick Martini fiddled with fuses, control panels and solenoids, all the while connected by cell phone to Verdin, his out-of-state bell consultants. It seems that even an item as old and basic as a bell can require techsupport from time to time.

Martini was soon able to get the bells ringing once again, their tones far more than just pleasantly quaint tolls and peals that echo rhythmically over the neighboring surrounds.

Occupying the northern belfry (the left tower in this photograph) the older of St. Peters bells was cast in Maryland almost 125 years ago. In the southern belfry (right tower) resides a bell forged in 1926.
