Boerne ISD administrators last Friday investigated a clown threat made
via social media that targeted Boerne High School. According to Boerne Police Chief James Kohler, a post was published “about harming students at BISD and that they were not clowning around.” Kohler said investigators
immediately informed the district and posted additional officers for security. “Law enforcement officials have determined that postings of this nature are a social media hoax,” BISD Superintendent David Stel-
mazewski reported in an email to parents. “We must guard against allowing incidents such as these to erode our feelings of safety, for that is indeed the intent of the per-

Frank and Lena Lyles of Weatherford join the dozens of expected Spyder enthusiasts who are gathering in Boerne this weekend. BY ELAINE TUCKER
■ Features Writer
Yesterday, the noise of approximately 100 unusual Spyder
motorcycles rumbled into Boerne for the fourth annual “Spyders in the Hills” rally. “Spyders came out in ’07,” Ray Smith, rally organizer said. “They were designed from the beginning
to be a three-wheel operation: two wheels in the front and one in the back. From a physics standpoint, it’s a much more stable arrangement. When you have two wheels in the front, you’re not going to turn too
quickly and turn over.” The rally’s “home base” is Coyote Powersports on the I-10 frontage road at the south end of Boerne.

Child hit by car in early morning taco traffic BY JESSICA GOODE

jessica@boernestar.com A 12-year-old child was the victim of a hit and run driver while
riding his bike to school a few weeks ago. Though his injuries were minor, the problem appears to be major. “Last year at the beginning of the school year my son was hit while crossing the driveway at
Mary’s Tacos [on Blanco Road] on his way to school. The lady stopped, an ambulance was called and he was scraped up but okay. [On] Thursday, Sept. 22, he was riding his bike to Boerne Middle School North and was knocked
off his bike again while on the sidewalk, crossing the driveway at Mary’s Tacos again. This time, he received some scraped up knees but he was so stressed when it hap-

Kinderpark, formerly known as Optimist Park, located on the corner of Water and Highland Streets, has recently received a facelift and is now open to the public. City officials reopened and dedicated the park last Friday morning. The new park has updated slides, swings, ropes and other play equipment that make use of the land’s topography allowing for all the new equipment to fit in. One of the playground’s unique features is the large rubberized turf that the slide sits on, while the rubber berms facilitate a child

He was born on Nov. 11, 1934, in Amory, Mississippi, to James Edward Hodo and Allison Cole Hodo, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Sadie Branch Hodo. Likewise, he is survived by his children, Allison Hodo Clements of Floresville, Edward Douglas “Doug� Hodo Hodo, Jr. of Boerne and Patrick Gunter Hodo of Boerne, along with their respective spouses Mike Clements, Lori Martin Hodo and Jennifer Robertson Hodo. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren, Michael “Micah� Joseph Clements, Jr., Andrew “Drew� Cole Clements, Luke Douglas Clements, John Gunter “Gunter� Clements, Hannah Leigh Hodo, Grace Ann Hodo, Edward Douglas “Douglas� Hodo, III, Hayden Ryan Hodo, Cole Bennett Hodo and Austin Gunter Hodo. Also, he is survived by his brother David Gunter Hodo and wife Mary Nan Hodo of Amory, Mississippi. No short summary of Doug’s life can begin to describe the impact that he has had in the world at large or his impact on the Christian Kingdom of God. Doug’s career began in the US Army in 1954 with a deployment to Germany during the Korean Conflict. After his discharge from the Army in 1956, he attended the University of Mississippi. He graduated and moved back to Amory where he met his future wife, Sadie. In 1961, he and Sadie moved to Oxford, Mississippi, to work for the University of Mississippi. With a dedication to education, Doug worked and earned two Masters degrees in the same graduation along with a PhD in economics and finance in 1968. During this time, he also was an integral part of the integration of the University of Mississippi, for which he received a commendation from Robert Kennedy, the US Attorney General. Doug was hired as one of the founding members of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) in 1972 as the Dean of the College of Business at the age of 38. Doug founded and built the College of Business at UTSA, where he led the school’s first accreditation. He served in that capacity for 15 years. In 1987, he was named the second President of Houston Baptist University, fulfilling his desire to lead students in a Christ-first education. Serving, from 1987 until 2006, Doug revitalized the university, constructing a number of buildings and putting the university on a firm financial foundation. He and Sadie were honored with the naming of the Sadie and Doug Hodo Residence College in 2013. He was involved in numerous for-profit and not-forprofit boards, including former chairman of the board at Stewart Title, board member of US Global, AAA, Goodwill Industries, Texas Heritage Bank, Hill Country Pregnancy Care Center and Faith Comes by Hearing as well as many, many others. He was also a founding board member of USAA Bank, Castle Hills First Baptist School, Houston Christian High School and Living Water International. Doug taught Bible study for 60 years, including at Castle Hills, the Disciples/Ticket to Heaven class at Second Baptist Church in Houston and the Followers Sunday School class at First Baptist, Boerne, while also serving as a Deacon at each respective church. His wife, Sadie, was the absolute love of his life. They had a magical love affair for over 57 years. They spent every morning drinking coffee on the back porch enjoying their view, talking and praying for their day and their family. He was driven to ensure that his children and grandchildren knew that he loved them and was proud of them. His steadfast and unwavering faith was an inspiration to many. Family and friends were one of his highest priorities. He was a teacher, friend, leader, servant, encourager, and a generous giver. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Ed and Sadie Hodo Children’s Endowed Scholarship at Houston Baptist University, 7502 Fondren Road, Houston, TX 77074, www.hbu.edu; Hill Country Pregnancy Care Center, PO Box 205, Boerne, TX 78006, www.lifesprecious.org; or Faith Comes by Hearing at 2421 Aztec Road NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107, www.faithcomesbyhearing.com.

Community Fair Oaks girls work to keep sea turtles thriving September marked a success for Keegan Tax and Chloe Wallace, two 10-year-old Fair Oaks Ranch residents. It took them only a year to raise $10,000 for Sea Turtle, Inc., a South Padre Island turtle rescue and rehabilitation center. Chloe has loved sea turtles since she was quite small and fell more in love when she visited Sea Turtle, Inc. for her first time several years ago. Keegan discovered her love for turtles when she visited Sea Turtle, Inc. a couple of summers ago. When the two discovered that they both wanted to help the turtles, they embarked on a year-long journey to make a difference. It started with a presentation to their school’s Early Act Club, which resulted in a school-wide fundraiser. They also sold homemade scarves, Christmas ornaments and turtle candies at a “lemonade stand.� These activities got them only about
Concert band plays Sunday The Boerne Concert Band will present its Fall Concert on Sunday, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m. in the Boerne High School Auditorium. Entitled, “Swing’s the Thing,� it will be a hand-clapping, toe-tapping lively concert of familiar music Musicians from Boerne and Champion High Schools, students who graduated and are attending local colleges or universities, band directors, both current and retired, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, friends, military musicians, and in some cases strangers who have heard about the band, come together on Thursday evenings to practice. The concert program includes “Themes Like Old Times,� “The George Gershwin Story,� “Glenn Miller in Concert,� “Sinatra in Concert,� “Big Band Superhits� and “Sing, Sing, Sing.� The band hopes to have its new Christmas CD available. Come early and enjoy listening to pre-concert music by the Hill Country Stompers who are also all members of the Boerne Concert Band. They are a small jazz combo playing Dixieland and traditional New Orleans-style jazz. They will begin playing at 5:30 in the foyer outside the main auditorium at the Boerne High School. (Hint: Can you dance the “Charleston�?)
half way to their goal. Then last month when they attended the annual Sea Turtle, Inc. “Reggae with the Ridley’s� fundraiser and auctioned off scarves and ornaments they reached their lofty goal. By reaching the $10,000 milestone, Chloe’s dad pledged to match that $10,000. In addition, another generous donor at Sea Turtle, Inc. has pledged to match all capital campaign donations. This means that these two 10-year-old girls have effectively raised $40,000 for the expansion of Sea Turtle, Inc. They have decided to increase their goal and try to raise another $10,000. Anyone who would like to help them reach their goal can donate online at www.gofundme.com/2pfdp5w or send a tax-deductible check directly to Sea Turtle, Inc., P.O. Box 3987, South Padre Island, Texas 78597 and write Keegan & Chloe in the subject line so that they know to include it in their total.

Letters to the Editor Policy
The Boerne Star welcomes letters on any public issue. Letters may be mailed, faxed, emailed or hand-delivered but must contain the writer’s name, address and phone number. Addresses and telephone numbers are for verification purposes only and will not be published. Names and city of residence will be published. Letters should be short and concise, long enough only to make your point. We reserve the right to edit all letters for style and content and refuse letters that would be objectionable to readers. We also will not publish anonymous letters. Priority will be given to letters 300 words or less that concern local topics and written by people who’ve not published a letter in the last 30 days.
In 2012, 2.75 million voters in one or more states “are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate; and more than 1.8 million deceased individuals (are) listed as active voters,” according to a survey by the Pew Charitable Trust, a non-partisan organization. Judicial Watch, a conservative, nonpartisan educational foundation that promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law, working with the State of Virginia in a crosscheck of voter registrations, learned that tens of thousands of Virginia voters had registered in another state and about 17,000 Virginia voters were registered in at least three other states since 2012. Within the last three years, Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, did the most definitive study on illegal voters ever produced for publication. Their research showed approximately 25 percent of noncitizens registered to vote in 2010. The
GUEST COMMENTARY
Ivy D’Spain
study also showed 6.4 percent of noncitizens had voted in the 2008 election, and 2.2 percent voted in 2010. This has a staggering effect on the votes of legal American voters, as there are around 22 million non-citizens in the U.S. today, and could mean hundreds of thousands of illegal votes have impacted past elections, cancelling out the votes of legal citizens. The study proved past presidential elections were impacted by illegal votes. In 2013, 43 local races in Ohio were decided by one vote or a tie-breaking vote. Democrats don’t want the Election Integrity Project started by Judicial Watch, which they have fought for
these past years. Judicial Watch defends photo identification, restrictions on early voting, and is against sameday registration and out-of-precinct voting. The organization has battled the Obama administration, which has tried to stonewall it with every questionable maneuver, and the courts, which ruled against Obama’s former Attorney General, Eric Holder (who resigned under a black cloud) to require them to provide documents Judicial Watch asked for through the Freedom of Information Act. Judicial Watch is winning Freedom of Information Act court decisions against Obama’s Machiavellian and politically motivated agenda in order to prove that illegal voting has occurred. Voting is a right only given to citizens of the United States, not illegal aliens or non-citizens. Judicial Watch sued the State of

“The truth is that all of you have failed women for generations, and you deserve to lose our votes. Next month we will grab you where it hurts. By your ballots.” “Donald and Billy on the Bus.” West, Lindy, The New York Times, Oct. 9, 2016. I was going to write about taxes – specifically the tax plans of the two major presidential candidates – thinking, almost wistfully that some small measure of the substantive ideas put forth by the Democrats might penetrate the blinders some Republicans seem always to wear when it comes to politics. But alas, no. Donald Trump’s undisciplined mouth has once again gotten him into some pretty deep poop. As everyone who hasn’t been living on the moon now knows, Mr. Trump’s recorded words about women – as initially reported on Oct. 7 by intrepid Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold – have cast a spotlight yet again on the gutter that passes for Mr. Trump’s brain. As I put pen to paper to write this column, virtually all the reaction has been strongly negative – even though there remains a significant number of Republican stalwarts who will forgive everything Mr. Trump says or does since he’s got that “R” after his name and they can’t see their way past that particular tribalism. One of the hardesthitting commentaries on Trump and women is the one cited above. According
to her online bio, Lindy West is a columnist at The Guardian, a contributor to This American Life and a freelance writer whose work focuses on feminism, social justice, humor and body image. Or to put it another way, she is everything some Republicans fear the most – a fact that means, unfortunately, that many of the people who should read her op-ed piece never will. I would add, perhaps unnecessarily, that she is also what a not-insignificant number of mainstream liberals would consider farleft. In this regard, I cannot agree with all of Ms. West’s assertions – in particular the one directed at almost all men: “Most of you (men) are no better than Mr. Trump; you are just more subtle.” While this is clearly true about way too many men, I think it’s fair to say it’s not true about all men. Progress towards true gender equality has been made over the last hundred years or so, and while I’ve encountered plenty of icky Trump-like men, I’ve also had the good fortune during my 60+ years of existence to have encountered plenty of men who are the polar opposite of Donald Trump (thank goodness!). That said, we still have a ways to go in the long march towards gender equality and the mutual respect it generates. If nothing else, the revelation of Donald Trump’s attitude towards women has demonstrated this in spades. Thing is, a vote for Donald Trump is pretty much a vote for his lewd attitudes – and

The last time I travelled to my native New York was for my 40th high school reunion in June. This gave me an opportunity to spend time with old friends and family, as well as visit favorite landmarks and sample the regional cuisine that one could only hope to experience elsewhere in the USA. I joined a few high school friends for lunch at our favorite delicatessen and ordered the classic Reuben sandwich. Overstuffed with tasty corned beef, fresh sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, topped with Russian dressing on rye bread, and washed down with a Dr. Brown’s cream soda, the meal was exceptional, fulfilling, and satisfying. Now you may think it is odd to compare having lunch at a great NY Jewish deli with our recent presidential debates, but I thought it appropriate to contrast the fulfilling and satisfying gastronomic experience with the thin gruel discussed at forums designed to help Americans select their next president. With all the problems that our nation faces, the moderators posed “gotcha” questions as opposed to eliciting the candidates’ specific solutions to our challenges. Are you concerned about the fiscal challenges we have with $75 trillion of unfunded future entitlements and our massive deficits that are forecast to grow as more baby boomers retire? The moderators didn’t even bring up this topic. Concerned that Medicare is actuarially unsound and
will face insolvency within a decade? Why would this be discussed when you can talk about a beauty pageant from 20 years ago? Troubled by a weakened and reduced military of the world’s only superpower at a time of global instability and heightened barbarian Islamic jihadism? This barely registered with moderators. We have real problems in the USA, yet the moderators and media cohorts focused on gotcha questions worthy of a reality tv show. Is this how far journalism has degenerated in the USA? What does this say about America and what its citizens are willing to accept? To make matters worse, one moderator in the last debate seemed to think it was her duty to debate one of the candidates as opposed to simply asking questions, and in the process didn’t even pretend to be objective or balanced. Now it is fair to ask difficult questions regarding a candidate’s character and past actions. The audiotape obtained from NBC archives of Donald Trump revealed vulgar, disgusting and indefensible language. It is troubling and understandably gives one pause regarding his candidacy and character. Questions regarding this audiotape were asked by moderators several times. Conversely, the character of Hillary and Bill Clinton is stained by a long series of scandals and poor judgement. From the total secrecy and complete lack

Maryland over its outrageous political gerrymandering of its congressional districts. “It was the worst violation of our electoral rights in the country,â€? according to the organization. “We hope to resolve this litigation before the 2016 elections. We must uphold the integrity of the voting booth for America’s right to vote legally. Yet the problem of corrupted voter rolls remains a national concern.â€? “Judicial Watch pursues the illegal activities through many more states in lawsuits to stop this agenda from going forward and degrading the right to have honest elections that we American citizens should expect in the voting booth,â€? according to the group. “Every election gives rise to credible new allegations of electoral fraud and provides new examples of election maladministration, as Judicial Watch learned firsthand by having a monitoring team ‘on the ground’ in New Hampshire observing the November 2014 federal elections.â€? The organization will be actively involved in the North Carolina integrity lawsuit where Obama’s Justice Department sued the state over its decision to institute voter identification by 2016 and end same-day registration, cut early voting from 17 days to 10, and end out-of-precinct voting, where there is so much opportunity for voter fraud. The integrity of elections must be upheld at all cost for this country’s honorable existence and our freedom. Judicial Watch stated that an expert report prepared by Dr. Steven Camarota proved that minority turnout actually increased in the May 2014 primaries following these reforms. Camarota is the Director of Research for the Center on Immigration Studies, a Washington, DC-based research institute that examines the consequences of legal and illegal immigration on the United States. And the same was true in the November 2014 general election in North Carolina, â€œâ€Śdespite predictions to the contrary by the Left (that this) will ‘suppress’ minority votes,â€? the group stated. “Black turnout and registration for the November 2014 election increased by every relevant measure compared with November 2010, the last non-presidential election.â€? The organization states Board of Elections data showed the percentage of age-eligible, non-Hispanic black residents who voted in the 2014 November election was 41.1 percent, up from 38.5 percent who voted in the 2010 November election, while the absolute number of black voters increased 16 percent to 628,004 from 539,646 for the same period. A federal judge upheld North Carolina’s voting requirements and stated “they did not impact African-American and other minority voters.â€? The Left is without a credible or honest argument. Thanks to Judicial Watch, which fights corruption regardless of which political party is not obeying our laws, supports honesty and integrity for all Americans, and the fight continues to preserve these United States of America. Now is the time to address the voters of the Electoral College, who will elect our next president. Information from the Congressional Research Service, published by the National Archives and Records Administration, states there is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires Electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their particular state. Some states require Electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote, according to the CRS. Texas Electors are not among those bound by State Law or by pledges to cast their vote for a specific candidate. “Today, it is rare for Electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party’s candidate,â€? according to the research service. However, if personal political choices decide this election and not the way American citizens vote, then our votes will be dead on arrival. This freedom of choice nation will also be dead, as “We the peopleâ€? ruling the government could be overridden by a small group of Electors deciding for 300 million people what kind of government will govern us on Nov. 8. Their feet need to be held to the fire on this election. This will be the last time we will be able to vote against a socialist regime, and have it count, for the people’s freedom to rule themselves. Vote this November to represent the “We the people – the populaceâ€? vote.
of transparency as Hillary led a wildly unpopular effort to nationalize healthcare in the early 1990s, to campaign finance abuses and illegal foreign contributions during Bill’s 1996 reelection effort, to selling presidential pardons to criminals and tax cheats like Mark Rich on Bill’s last day in office, to numerous sex scandals that included reports of abuse and alleged rape, to Hillary’s coordination of a smear campaign and containment of so called “bimbo eruptions� against those women who reported the abuse, to impeachment and the loss of a law license, to the sale of a quarter of our nation’s uranium to a Russian firm followed by a lucrative speaking fee of $500,000 and millions more donated to the Clinton Foundation, to further examples of pay-to-play access to State Department favoritism supplemented by generous “donations� to the same Clinton Foundation, to outrageous lies to family members of those Americans slain at Benghazi falsely blaming their deaths on an anti-Islamic video, the Clintons have consistently used the power of their offices to enrich themselves. The list of their ethically challenged maneuvers could probably fill the rest of this newspaper, and then some. Yet, there were no questions on any of this in the last debate. Despite the obvious flaws of both leading candidates, I would still expect a debate to focus on issues affecting our nation’s future. It would also be nice for moderators to inquire as to what kind of managerial skills or leadership qualities they possess that would help them deal with the challenges we face. What accomplishments are they most proud of that positively impacted their community and our overall society? What is their track record of accomplishments from previous leadership roles? Is a candidate’s business or financial experience transferable to leading our nation? The mainstream media has a track record, based on ideological bias, of failing to properly vet a candidate’s background. President Obama had a questionable academic track record, socialist mentors, never had a real job and certainly was not responsible for leading any group or organization of any consequence. His wit, charm and obvious intelligence was enough for the media to anoint him as the savior for America, yet our problems have not been resolved. After years of political division and failure to address and solve real problems with honesty, candor, inclusiveness and objectivity, our nation stands at a crossroads. We should expect more of our leaders as well as more of ourselves. We can only hope that the third and final debate rises to a level worthy of the presidency of the greatest nation on earth.
not just towards women. He has expressed the same kind of crude disrespect for the disabled, prisoners of war, the Gold-Star parents of a fallen U.S. soldier, immigrants, Iowans who supported Ben Carson (“How stupid are the people of Iowa?�), Muslims, African-Americans and their neighborhoods (“war zones�), Hispanic Americans, Mexicans (“rapists� and “drug dealers�), small business owners (the many people he’s stiffed over the years), and all us fools who pay federal income taxes. And this partial list doesn’t even touch the many insults he hurled at his fellow-Republicans back during the Republican primaries. I suppose we shouldn’t really be all that surprised. After all, Trump’s history is one of relentless disrespect for large numbers of people and institutions, usually followed by nothing. No apology. No remorse. No contrition. Or in this case, followed by a totally non-apologetic “apology� and an absolute cop-out of an excuse in his assertion that his despicable words were “just locker room talk.� Boys, after all, will be boys – even at the age of 59! That “R� behind Donald Trump’s name on the ballot should not be determinative and it should not command blind, tribal obedience. This is indisputably true with regard to this year’s election cycle. Significant numbers of Republican politicians are finally trying to put distance between themselves and the man at the top of their ticket. It’s long past time for even lifelong Republican voters to do the same.

Faith Awana salutes Boerne police with prayer circle, gift bags Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed (AWANA) club had an special meeting recently at First Baptist Church in Boerne. After making special prayer goody bags, with help from their leaders, they invited The Boerne Police Department to attend their meeting so they could receive their presents. Over a dozen officers in uniform attended to receive their tokens of appreciation made by over 200 AWANA members. The Children took their AWANA circle positions and officials stood inside the circle, showing respect to the country and God. The kids and leaders then prayed

Locker room or the upper room “Locker room banter” aside, many of us are gasping for fresh air in the stinking mire and muck of our current political hell. To quote St. Paul out of context, “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Even this late in the game, millions of us would gladly welcome a viable third choice. Enter the Kingdom of God. We who claim to follow Christ Jesus may be sickened by current political events, but we possess a concrete, objective reason to remain hopeful. Our Lord displayed in his teachings and his actions that it is possible to live in another dimension while walking through this muddy world. The political world of his day was worse than ours. (Yes, it was.) But Jesus had
the power to walk through the vile, pornographic and threatening culture of Rome with a peace that passed all understanding. He brought healing to the sick, forgiveness to the sinner, hope to the hopeless. To the dismay of many of his followers, Jesus did not overthrow the political system of his day. He simply lived above it while walking through it. When on trial for his life, he calmly told Pilate that God, not Rome, was in control. Time has proven him right. His followers throughout history, in all kinds of horrid cultures and corrupt governmental systems have marched wounded, but ultimately victorious, to the beat of his invisible drum. History is His-story, and neither Hillary nor Donald

can interfere with his rule in his kingdom. He remains the Omega as well as the Alpha, and all will be His in the end. He has the final glorious and positive word. All will be well. What we all long for is that day when our Lord’s prayer will be fully answered and his “kingdom will come on earth, as it is in heaven.” But for now, we are blessed to know that our God still reigns, that American politics cannot interfere with God’s ultimate plan for us as individuals. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
The beauty of friendship I have been thinking lately about the significance and beauty of friendship. I am richly blessed at this time of life to have an abundance of close men friends. They range in age from 50 to 97. I am not talking about acquaintances, but friends who love you in spite of all your flaws and some undefined measurement of behavior. It is sad that some people may have only one friend of that kind. Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times.” If you have friends like that count yourself blessed. Proverbs 18:24 says, “…but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” That is true on two levels, one being a friend and the other Jesus. In John 15:12-13 Jesus gives a command, not a suggestion, “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” In first Samuel we find the account of possibly the most profound friendship recorded in Scripture. The friendship of David and Jonathan. Two statements tell the story, “Whatever you say I will do for you,” and “Then Jonathan makes a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.” It is interesting that these exact words are found in Leviticus, Matthew, and James. This, I think is the bedrock of a true friendship. You
ON THE JOURNEY
Jack Purcell are loved as the friend loves himself. So what are some of the characteristics of a really good friend? If you need them they come. If you stumble on the journey, they don’t judge, they come along side. They pray for your regularly. They can read your emotions because you have allowed them to know you. They stay in touch. They are not easily offended. You can probably think of many more. You might ask, how do I stack up in this regard? One has to be a friend to have friends. Friends rarely just happen. They are cultivated and worked at. Most anything important requires effort and friendship is no different. We have already determined that love is at the heart of friendship, so the familiar passage describing love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ties it all up in a nice bow. “Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, doesn’t have a swelled head, doesn’t force itself on others, isn’t always “me first,” doesn’t fly off the handle, doesn’t keep score of the sins
of others, doesn’t revel when others grovel, takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, puts up with anything, trusts God always, always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going to the end. Love never dies.” This Monday one of my cherished friends passed on to glory. He exemplified the model of friendship. Doug Hodo was a giant of a man, not in size but in character. He had been my friend for 44 years and my boss for almost 10 years as the president of Houston Baptist University. He will be missed in the Boerne community, where he continued to serve until the day he no longer could. May God bless his family.

Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) Yep. For some of us, there actually is a third choice. In these dark days, we may expect his light to shine brighter and brighter and as he is lifted up he will continue to draw all men unto himself – perhaps now more than ever. “These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” – Jesus, the Christ.

Happy Hen Treats ... Boerne’s Randall Burkey Co. takes
on new name, new identity to meet emerging ‘chicken-as-pet’ market BY ELENA TUCKER
â– Staff Writer
Boerne’s Randall Burkey company started out in Boerne in 1947, “supplying everything you could want or need for your chickens,� according to the company’s outdated website. These days, described by current vice-president Byron Parker as “mostly utilitarian,� Randall Burkey is transitioning to the name of Happy Hen Treats, a playful, chickens-as-pets concept credited to Parker’s little girl, Kassidi. In 2010, while visiting a pet store, Kassidi wanted to buy her hen Bailey a treat. However, chicken “snacks� didn’t exist at the time, Parker said. Nonetheless, his daughter’s persistence in wanting to indulge Bailey prompted Parker to experiment with something of a Randall Burkey marketing shift. “I just took a bag of mealworms and put it online,� Parker said, “and there was a great response.� That reaction on the part of consumers has resulted in an altogether different and significant direction for Randall Burkey. Not only has the company changed its name to Happy Hen Treats, but it has tapped into the large backyard chicken movement, in which hens – rather than being relegated to poultry facilities or farms – live in urban or suburban yards. Although no data is readily available, online estimates range anywhere from tens of thousands of hen-owning households to millions. To judge by Happy Hen Treats math (in the mealworm category alone) hens-as-pets numbers are staggering. With the company importing as many
“I just took a bag of mealworms and put it online,� Parker said, “and there was a great response.� – Byron Parker Randall Burkey vice president as 100 tons of mealworms every four weeks at an estimated 1,000 mealworms per ounce, it can be deduced that more than three billion crispy, fun-sized chicken snacks are being pecked up on a monthly basis. “We’ve actually closed the Randall Burkey catalogue company,� Parker said. “Something had to give, and Happy Hen Treats was actually bigger.� According to Parker, at its peak Randall Burkey mailed out 200,000 catalogues annually. “We sold other company’s products through our catalog� with as many as 20 telephone operators to handle orders at highseason times. The company would ship out 100 to 200 packages each day to people who had a small backyard flock.� By comparison, Happy Hen Treats now sends out “full truckloads of our own products to major retailers,� Parker said. One of the new-butold company’s account managers, Edward Gates, said that the transformation has evolved from “just a handful of customers willing to bring on a strange new product� to now being in “nearly 2,000 retail stores nationwide.� Particular gratitude is expressed by Parker toward Peyton Turk of Red Crest pet store on Boerne’s north Main Street. “Early on, Peyton was extremely helpful in letting us test products in his store,� Parker said, “and it was very encouraging to see that people would buy this type
Guard against ID theft In 2015 alone, more than 13 million Americans were victimized by identity theft, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. What can you do to guard your identity and protect yourself from potential financial losses? Here are some ideas to consider: • Review your statements. Closely review the monthly statements from your checking and other financial accounts. If you find any unfamiliar charges, contact your bank or other financial services provider immediately. • Order your credit reports. The three credit reporting agencies – TransUnion, Equifax and Experian – are each required by law to provide you one free credit report a year. Make sure your name, address and other information are correct on your credit report, and if you find old or inaccurate information, have it removed. • Place a fraud alert. If you suspect you have become a victim of Identity theft, place a “fraud alertâ€? on your credit reports by contacting any of the three credit reporting agencies. You can choose a shortterm or long-term alert. And if you’re an active member of the military, you can request a special, one-year alert. • Feed your shredder. Shred all old bank and investment statements, applications for new credit cards and any other documents that contain personal information. • Destroy digital data. If you have a variety of financial accounts, you’re not just creating a paper trail – you’re also establishing a digital “footprint.â€? So, when you sell or otherwise dispose of a computer system or hard drive, you may want to take steps to destroy personal data. You might think that simply deleting it would be sufficient, but techsavvy identity thieves can “undeleteâ€? files or recover information from a formatted drive. However, products are available that allow you to completely wipe out data on

of product in pet stores.� These days, the product can also be purchased at giants such as PetSmart. As well, Happy Hen Treats stocks almost two dozen different products at Tractor Supply - a growing corporation that recently nominated the Boerne company for its “Top Vendor� award. Kassidi is no longer a little kid, rather she’s a Boerne Middle School South student who responds with a wry face when teased about being responsible for all of these changes within her father’s company. Parker doesn’t take much of the credit either. He was a personal trainer, he said, when he began working parttime in the Randall Burkey warehouse. From there he’s made his way up, had good mentoring, and has also enjoyed the good fortune to “not know any better� with regard to what might or might not be possible within his particular industry. These days Parker travels all over the world, overseeing mealworm farming, working with researchers who have interest in feeding the earth’s growing population and helping to manage a sales force that must visit up to 40 trade shows every year. Mostly though, Parker said, he’s focused on “ not losing sight of what’s working and where we’ve grown.� He’s committed to getting Happy Hen Treats out there, delighting backyard chickens and their little girl pals everywhere.

Kassidi and Byron Parker can take much of the credit for Happy Hen Treats’ development and rapid growth. What was once Randall Burkey is transitioning to the new Happy Hen Treats name and concept of treating backyard chickens as pets.

hard drives. • Change passwords. It’s a good idea to change your Internet passwords every so often – especially those passwords that provide access to financial accounts. • Leave your Social Security card home. Snagging someone’s Social Security number is a real “catchâ€? for identity thieves, so do everything you can to thwart them. And you can start by leaving your Social Security card safely at home – after all, there’s probably never a good reason to bring it out, anyway. In fact, be wary of anyone or any business that asks for your Social Security number, either in person or online. Except for a few obvious exceptions, such as your tax preparer, most reputable businesses don’t need to know anything about your Social Security information. • Watch for “phishers.â€? If you’ve ever gotten an e-mail, supposedly from your bank, advising you that your account will be “frozenâ€? unless you provide personal details about your account, it’s a good bet that someone is “phishingâ€? for this information – and they’re using the “freezingâ€? threat as bait. What’s particularly alarming is that these “phishersâ€? have gotten quite good at duplicating logos and using official-sounding language. However, a legitimate bank would never threaten you this way with an e-mail, so, if you get such a message, contact the bank’s fraud department. You can go a long way toward protecting yourself against identity theft by following these suggestions — so put them to work soon.

Boerne Champion At the Seguin meet, the Charger varsity teams both finished second. The Champion boys scored 94 points for second, one point behind Warren who scored 93 to win the event. San Marcos came in third with 123 points. Josh Rodriguez came in

The Boerne High and Boerne Champion cross country teams both raced in Seguin last week as a tune up before their respective district meets.
Chargers sweep again Boerne Champion swept its second straight district opponent in 26-5A volleyball after the Lady Chargers defeated Medina Valley in three games. Champion won Tuesday’s match in Castroville, 25-15, 25-19, 25-15 and has now swept 6 of 10 district oppo-
nents so far this year. They swept Marble Falls last Friday. The Chargers are 24-12 overall and 8-2 in district. Champion is currently in second place in the 26-5A standings, one game ahead

Warriors top Deer in volleyball Comfort High continued district play Tuesday with a short road trip to Ingram. The Deer went five with the Lady Warriors and played well in the match, but Ingram prevailed in the end, 25-17, 23-25, 25-20, 19-25, 15-10. Comfort slips to 1-8 in district play and is 13-18 overall. The Deer are scheduled to host Georgetown Gateway on Friday as they start to wind down the regular season. After Friday, Comfort is off Tuesday and then plays Florence and Johnson City to close out district. In Tuesday’s match, Daniela Lozano led the team with 29 digs, Alex Ely finished with 15 assists, Lauren Martinez had a team-high 9 kills, Jessica Haberman blocked 3 shots and Jessica Spenrath dropped in 4 aces.
Both the Boerne ISD swim teams opened their 2016-2017 seasons at the AAHSSL Relays held Saturday at Palo Alto Natatorium. Saturday’s race had a unique twist to it and let boys and girls combine on relay teams in mixed relay races. The Greyhounds and Chargers are scheduled to be in action again this Saturday at Mega Invitationals at Northside.
Some of the highlights at Palo Alto include the Champion girls 200-free relay of Grace Howard, Katie Leonard, Samantha Walker and Claudia Theriot coming in sixth with a 1:48.58, while the Lady Chargers 350-yard relay of Katie Leonard, Brittney Pike and Kandace Anz was third in 3:10.99.

Lady Greyhounds fall to Bandera in 3 BY KERRY BARBOZA
■ Sports Editor
Boerne High began the second round of district volleyball action Tuesday at home against Bandera. It was a tough night for the Lady Hounds who were swept by the Lady Bulldogs for the second time this year. Bandera won Tuesday’s match over Boerne High, 25-16, 25-20, 25-15. The Lady Hounds are 20-17 overall and 1-4 in district. They continue district play Friday at Canyon Lake and are off next Tuesday. BHS has three district matches left and if the second round plays out like the first round, they’ll enter the playoffs as the fourth-place team and would get Navarro or La Vernia in the first round, both very good teams.

Eagles clipped by Brentwood Christian in 4 sets The Geneva School of Boerne volleyball team visited Austin Brentwood Christian Tuesday night. Brentwood is the defending state champs and is tough, but they’re even tougher at home. The 2015 TAPPS state champs defeated the Eagles in four sets, 25-18, 25-19, 12-25, 25-23. Geneva is 20-18 overall and 6-5 in district. The Eagles were scheduled to host Round Rock Concordia on Thursday, 6 p.m., and they are also scheduled to host Incarnate Word in a nondistrict match Monday. After that,

Area Golf League Results My computer desktop image is a photo of the Medina River at English Crossing, but pictures of the beaches and waterways in my former home of Melbourne, Fla., hang on my study walls. My wife and I considered settling there after retiring, but returning to Texas barbeque and Shiner Bock won out over wasting away in Margaritaville. Hurricane Matthew is making it look like a wise decision. An important golf tournament was scheduled for the Jacksonville area, but the hurricane put an end to that. A tournament cancellation pales in comparison to a major disaster, but some golfers scheduled to compete will suffer serious consequences. Playing well there was their last chance to preserve a job as a touring golf pro, and they will need to make alternate, and less desirable, plans for next year. October may bring hurricanes to the coast, but here in the Texas Hill Country it is the best month for golf. Bandera’s Ted Brown has been shooting the lights out of late and it has been paying off with tournament wins. Brown doesn’t need good weather to play well. A few weeks ago he teamed with Bandera’s Buddy Antwine to blow away the competition in the storm-plagued Cowboy Classic, and he’s kept his game on track as the weather improves.
CATS FROM PAGE 11A also scored 76 against Jarrell, 60 against Weimer and 67 against Thorndale, all victories. They did have 62 scored on them by Rockdale. Both Comfort and Lexington are 4-2 overall, but the Bobcats prefer not to get into a fastbreak type of game. They want to run the ball, eat clock and limit the other team’s possessions. In fact, the most Comfort

HOUNDS FROM PAGE 11A properly and not let them run the ball the way they’d like to.” Canyon Lake definitely likes to keep it on the ground, but they will throw a little. The Hawks have 1,887 rushing yards and 514 passing yards. Boerne High’s defense has been stout this year with two shutouts. They only gave up 14 points to Fredericksburg last week in their district opener. The Hounds had a great start to the game and were up 28-0 by the end of the first quarter to take control.
GAME FROM PAGE 11A expected to be announced around 7:10 p.m. The Chargers last played at BISD Stadium on Sept. 16, when they hosted Medina Valley to open district. The next week they were at Lockhart and then had a bye week. After the off week, they continued district play last Friday at Marble Falls. Friday’s contest at the stadium will be four weeks exactly since their last home game. “It will be good to be home, our community travels well, but there’s nothing like being at home,” Kaiser said. “Some people don’t travel so this will let them see the kids play.” Both the Chargers and Tigers are 3-0 in district,

Hound tennis earns two victories The Boerne High tennis team played a couple of nondistrict tennis matches last Saturday and won both of them by similar scores. The Greyhounds played two 5A teams, both from Champion’s current district, and beat them both. Boerne High knocked off Kerrville Tivy and Dripping Springs, with identical scores
San Antonio’s Rocco Perciavalle has been a regular Good Old Boys winner for the last several months with consistent, gradually improving, scores. Gradual improvement is the key to Good Old Boys success, but it is rare to see someone manage to pull it off. Perciavalle shot 87 and Brown shot 80 to win the recent Good Old Boy tournament with a team total of 3 points. Two teams tied for second place with rounds that fell one point short of their team quota. Boerne resident Fritz Houston’s 86 combined with Flying L resident Terry Peek ‘s 87 to tie fellow Flying L’er Don Bateman’s 83 and San Antonian Joe Davis’s 86. Retired Hondo ranch manager Byron Watts won the closest-to-the-hole award on No. 2 and Peek was closest on No. 12. Bandera’s Louis DuBose took medalist honors with a nice round of 75. The team of Buddy Antwine, Mike Kornmann, John Palmer and Dewayne Pirtle won the front nine and total 2-ball matches in the Flying L Tuesday noon contest. They were 8-under par on the front nine and 9-under par for the total 18 holes. Walter Stroman, Andy Walker, Tadd Marler and yours truly, Charlie Prokop, won the back nine 3-ball match with a score of 5-under par. Prokop also won the individual front and back nines
in the championship flight with net scores of 38 and 32. John Palmer won the front and back nines in the first flight with 31 and 38. Walter Stroman won the closest-to-the-hole prize and he also was closest on No. 17 with a tee shot no more than one inch from an ace. Andy Walker was closest on No. 7 and Prokop was closest on No. 12. The next Flying L Skins Scramble will be held on Sunday, Oct. 30 at 12:30 p.m. Players may sign up in the Flying L pro shop.

has scored in a game is 34 points and that was against Ingram. They had 33 last week when they beat Rogers, 33-16, but other than that, the Bobcats have scored 13, 20, 14 and 21 points in their four other games. No doubt, Lexington will focus on trying to stop Comfort running back, Jason Faulkner. The senior is one of the top running backs in the area and has accumulated 1,032 yards on 175 carries and scored 10 touchdowns. Faulkner was selected to play in the San Antonio All-Star
game scheduled for early January in the Alamodome. Faulkner scored three touchdowns last week against Rogers and rushed for more than 200 yards, while Aidan Sweeney and Baeley Allerkamp also found the end zone for the Cats. Comfort’s defense played well and pitched a shutout for the first three quarters before Rogers got on the board with two late touchdowns in the fourth. Comfort held Rogers to 117 total yards in the game, while the Cats offense racked up 352 yards.
man came in second with a 19:05.90 and Kelsie Vicknair took third with a 19:07.67. Erin Briley posted a 20:00.11 for 18th, Alexia Engel ran a 20:50.65 for 45th, Ashlynn Fulgham came in 68th with a 21:25.79 and Reese Burkey finished 91st with a time of 21:51.93. Boerne High The Boerne High boys scored 356 points for 13th place in the field of 24. Jesse Everett finished in 59th with a 17:16.90, Arin Kleiner came in 66th with a 17:21.97, Carlos Romero was three spots behind in 69th with a 17:22.97, David Keith turned in a time of 17:28.97 for 76th, Ethan Newman ran a 17:43.70 for

Emma Stauber led the girls after she finished 15th in 19:58.33, Anahi Ibarra was two spots back in 17th in 19:59.90, Paige Wesch ran a 21:32.88 for 76th, Katie Tehas took 77th in 21:33.34, Kortni Langlinais finished in 82nd in 21:40.83, Natalie Armstrong recorded a time of 22:05.17 for 104th and Sophia Waters ran a 22:08.85 for 105. For more on both BISD running teams and how they did at district, look in the Boerne Star.
Dormady said they controlled just about every aspect of last week’s game. “If you’re the most physical team, you put yourself in a position to win the football game. When you execute good things happen,” he said. “We did a good job, hats off to all three phases of the game.” Douglas Hodo burned the Battlin’ Billies for three touchdowns, while Brooks Klutts threw four touchdown passes, three to Hodo and the other to Luke Kinchen. Colton Pool shredded the Fredericksburg defense on the ground and scored two rushing touchdowns. Defensively, the Greyhounds came up with four turnovers after Senate Hor-
ton, Andrew Weaver and Cody Atteberry all had interceptions, while Casey Cardwell had a fumble recovery. Dormady said they want to build on last week’s districtopening win. “We want that consistency game in and game out and we’ve had a pretty consistent year this year,” he said. “We didn’t let Fredericksburg gain momentum, we did a good job.” Boerne High and Canyon Lake have been in the same district since 2010 and Boerne has won four of the six contests, including the last two. Canyon Lake’s last win in the series came in 2013 when they won that game, 37-28.
The BHS girls 400-yard freestyle relay of Julia Villarreal, Teresa Schwab, Emma Parks and Brooke Walton finished 11th in 4:33.47, the Champion boys 400-yard free relay of Logan Sandige, Preston Raimondo, Kyle Bodemer and Boris Schluter teamed up for second with a 3:11.98, while the Chargers mixed 200-yard backstroke relay
while Alamo Heights is also 3-0. The three teams have yet to play each other but will start beginning with Friday’s game between Champion and Dripping Springs. The Chargers will also get Alamo Heights at home on Oct. 28. Kaiser, whose team is 5-1, said Dripping Springs is undefeated for a reason. “They’re good, they’re talented and athletic,” he said. “They do a lot of things very well, their quarterback is athletic and throws the ball well and on defense they fly to the ball.” Kaiser said the Tigers kind of remind him of his team. “After watching film, they’re a lot like we are,” he said. “They’re pretty balanced, they run and throw. It’s not a game where we have to take the run game way and make them pass, they’re not limited in that aspect.”
Champion’s only loss so far this year has come to Brandeis and Kaiser said Dripping Springs is probably better than Brandeis. “They may not be as physical, but their offense is better than Brandeis,” he said. “But a game like Brandies helped us prepare for this.” The Chargers have rolled their three district opponents so far. They’ve scored 42, 43 and 49 against Medina Valley, Lockhart and Marble Falls, while the defense has only given up 17 points during that span, including a shutout over Medina Valley. Against Marble Falls last week, the Chargers came out on fire and tallied six touchdowns – 42 points – in the first quarter alone. The Tigers, who play Alamo Heights next week, have defeated Lockhart, Kerrville Tivy and Seguin in district play.
of Seguin and Alamo Heights who are both 7-3. The Chargers have split with the Mules this year and defeated Seguin in the first round. Champion hosts defending state champs, Dripping Springs, Friday at 5 p.m. The varsity match was moved up because of homecoming festivities. Champion has four district matches left on their schedule with three of them at home starting with Friday’s match vs. Dripping Springs. They are also at home Tuesday against Lockhart. They visit Kerrville Tivy next Friday and close out the regular season with a home match against Seguin.

Cats, Deer race in Lampasas BY BILLY NABOURS
■ Special to the Star LAMPASAS – One final prep competition at Lampasas turned into a successful meet for Comfort High School cross country teams at the Battling Badger Invitational held Thursday, Oct. 6. Comfort’s girls won the JV division and accounted for five girls among the top 15 while the boys had a pair of medal winners in second and third places and the Bobcats finished third as a team in their round of JV competition. “We always use the Lampasas meet as a ‘fun’ meet for our kids. It’s one of our final meets before district and we are allowed to run an unlimited number in the JV races. We’re able to have all our athletes run together for one of the few times all season. So while it may appear we ‘ran down,’ we managed to make each other better as district approaches. Plus the competition was filled with schools above us in classification. Those schools are solid and are as good or better than a lot of the teams we’ll face at our district meet,” said head coach Billy Nabours. In the girls’ standings,

Comfort won by four points over the Fredericksburg JV – 32-36 – while the remainder of the division went Llano, Liberty Hill, Salado, Lampasas, Taylor and Priddy. Valentina Campos led from start to finish among 82 racers as she went two miles in 12:29, a time that would have placed her second in the varsity division. In fact, the Deer as a team would have finished 7th in the varsity division. Jada Aguilar came in second with a time of 13:56, Irene Esquivel was next in at seventh place and in a season best, regardlessof-course, time of 14:24. Angelica Contreras and Alex Ely also posted season bests of 14:42 and 14:48, respectively as they finished 10th and 12th. Medals were earned by the top 15. Cassy Rosales (15:25, 22nd), Heather Scheele (15:31, 25th), Valeria Trancosos (15:38, 26th), Belle Dokter (16:15, 38th), Emiko Sweeney (16:44, 43rd), Abby Hawkins (16:57, 45th), Erika Argote (17:01, 47th), Balen Navejas (17:08, 50th) and Samantha Poisal (19:06, 66th) completed the team. Sweeney and Hawkins registered personal bests. Bobcats
The teammate rivalry between Adam Smith and Alex Sanchez continued as Smith managed 19:03 and second place among 71 runners while Sanchez was third in 19:04. It marked the second straight meet that Smith and Sanchez have dueled it out down the stretch to the finish. Behind Sanchez in third among the Bobcats was Abdiel Ramirez who was 22nd overall and in a season-best time of 20:57 for 3.1 miles. Rodrigo Marquez came in 25th for Comfort in a time of 21:08, and the fifth scoring runner for the ‘Cats was Manuel Salas in 30th with 21:47. Remaining ‘Cats and their finishes and times included Aidan Sweeney (33rd, 21:55), Isaac Robeson (34th, 22:20), Chad Phillips (35th, 22:21), Slade Robeson (49th, 23:31), Joey Nunez (50th, 23:43), Dalen Rechenthein (59th, 25:16), Michael Segura (64th, 26:45), Braeden Bennett (66th, 27:18), and Trenton Fender (70th, 29:18). The times were season betters for Slade Robeson, Nunez, and Rechenthein. CHS teams will run on Monday, Oct. 17 when CHS serves as host for this year’s District 25-3A XC meet that starts at 1:30 p.m.
Skylar Tippetts had a big match with 6 kills, 19 digs, 6 blocks and 3 aces, while Julie Perez finished with 22 kills, 35 digs and 2 blocks. Braden Hall tallied 25 assists and 12 digs, Aimee Metzger totaled 12 assists, Ally Dollander recorded 10

proved that four years ago (against Wimberley),” she said. “There’s a winning tradition established here, we don’t want to lose that, we want to keep that and keeping wining and advancing to the playoffs. We want to get better but you have to show up and play every night.”
Pettibon said their servereceive defense hurt them Tuesday night against visiting Bandera. “Serve-receive is the reason we lost tonight,” she said. “We weren’t talking and they were serving the ball short and we would get there late and shank the ball.”
St. Gerard, 47-20, and also took the contest before that against Shiner St. Paul, 39-21. The Eagles were in control of last Saturday’s game against the Royals by scoring 40 of their 47 points in the first half. They added a late score in the game and everybody had the chance
to play. Austin Brentwood Christian has a very good volleyball team and is the defending state champ in that sport, but their football is struggling a bit. They are 3-3 overall and 0-2 in district with losses to Hallettsville Sacred Heart and Shiner St. Paul.

How do adults play, part 2 As we cruise through how adults played in the early 20th century, we find that many of the leisure activities, games and toys have continued in the 20th and 21st century, such as card-playing, weekend band concerts in the local park, rides into town by our more rural folk and more. These early new inventions and innovative applications started our nation on an adventurous leisure path that never before existed. Throughout our nation, families began to travel more frequently on those new contraptions like the automobile and aeroplane; then came the movies and radio. One creative venue actually accelerated all the many ways adults began to play

and sing about. And it wasn’t only the exploding sports scene that transformed how we played, but the songs about sports and past time activities. According to Songs of Sports and Pasttimes, “American popular song emerged in the same era that American leisure culture began to develop, and sports such as baseball and football began to take on their present, distinctly American forms. “As transportation improved, professional
entertainers and traveling shows and circuses became regular visitors throughout the country. “Transportation itself also became a form of recreation. In many cases, the songs themselves directed the activity. In 1915, Conway’s Band recorded a medley of children’s game songs, many quite old and some still familiar nearly 100 years later. “Adults had their own musical games in the form of dances that included musical commands from callers and singers that forced them to change direction or partners.” Let us also not forget that the growing popularity of movies that propelled songwriting to new levels. Here’s a few examples: Since Mother Goes to the
Take care of that lawn this fall From the San Antonio Water System: by Mark Peterson. Reprinted by permission. San Antonio lawns frequently fall prey to avaricious grass fungi that often don’t display the results of their malevolent activity until later in the year. Although we can’t control the weather, we can do several things to reduce the chances of lawn disease now and in the future. SUNLIGHT REQUIREMENT A brief note on the placement of particular species of grass: Bermuda grass requires 10 or more hours of direct sunlight, zoysia requires eight or more hours of direct sunlight and St. Augustine grass requires six or more hours of direct sunlight. If the amount of direct sunlight is not met, then decline and pest problems will occur. REASONS FOR DISEASE Most grass fungi prefer cool, wet weather. Therefore, most fungi are active during the fall, winter and spring seasonal rains. However, the symptoms may not become obvious until the summer. Well-meaning, but excessive irrigation will also promote fungi. Generally we ask homeowners what the watering schedule is during the dormant seasons – fall, winter and early spring. If the answer is more than once a week, then disease will occur. If a smart controller (uses weather data as a basis for scheduling) is in use, then the seasonal adjust should not exceed 20 percent during the dormant season or else disease is likely to occur. The second encouragement for grass fungi is excessive nitrogen. If a homeowner applies more than 1.5 pounds nitrogen per 1000 square feet in May and October – the only two months to apply fertilizer –then disease will occur. TYPES OF FUNGI Brown patch – grass blades turn brown and die but not the roots and runners forming circular to donutshaped patches. Brown patch is most prevalent during fall, winter and spring, and

damage may be seen then, although damage may be also seen later in spring or early summer. Best growth occurs when daytime temperatures are between 70 degrees and 85 degrees. Take-All-Patch – grass blades and roots die forming irregular patches. Like brown patch, Take-All-Patch is active during fall, winter and spring, but the damage appears in early summer Pythium – grass blades have cottony appearance and occurs on Bermuda grass planted in the shade or with poor internal drainage, or both; prevalent in the fall and spring. Gay leaf spot – diamond shaped lesions on St. Augustine grass in shaded areas that are watered at night and excessively fertilized; primarily a summer disease. Dollar spot – circular spots about the size of a silver dollar, mostly occurs on Bermuda and zoysia grass species. Dollar spot is most prevalent in late fall and early spring when homeowners are watering during the night. ACTIONS TO PREVENT DISEASE As you may have noticed, all the diseases are promoted by excessive moisture and excessive fertilization. Reduce these and a chemical fungicide will be the action of last resort. Here is a simple chart on how to prevent lawn disease. • If no rainfall occurs prior to or during the week, water once a week from April to September. Water once a month from October to March. • Water only at dusk or dawn. • Fertilize no more than 1.5 pounds of nitrogen (not just fertilizer) per 1000 square feet in either May or October. • Aerate with a core aerator at least once a year in spring or fall. • A “natural” fungicide can be created by applying corn

meal to the lawn that then promotes the development of a cannibalistic fungus, Trichoderma, which feeds on various lawn fungi. Follow the recommendations and you lessen your chances for disease — no guarantees if we have a wet winter and spring. WINTER TOOL MAINTENANCE Now is the time to start thinking about tool maintenance and getting them ready for winter storage. One of the first things you can do is to drain the gas out of the string trimmer, the shredder, the tiller, the lawn mower and any other gaspowered machine you have. Then start it up and run it until it runs completely out of gas. If you want to really protect it, take out the spark plug and put about a teaspoonful of oil in the cylinder, but no longer than our winters are around here, that really isn’t necessary. It’s a real good time to get the blade sharpened, too. Send comments and questions to gardener1935@ gmail.com or visit www. thehillcountrygardener.com.
Movie Shows and Take Your Girlie to the Movies. Now when it come to sports, who hasn’t heard the classic 1908 song, Take Me Out to the Ball Game! written by Jack Norworth with music by Albert Von Tilzer. You may not have heard their names but surely the song! Norworth wrote the lyrics on a scrap piece of paper on a train ride to Manhattan, New York. Then he handed the lyrics to Albert Von Tilzer who composed the music that was published by the York Music Company and within the same year a hit record was birthed. Here’s another baseball song you may not have known, The Baseball Rag. Now let’s venture with a few songs about trains and
cars that took families to the beach and got them sailing. Songs popped up like Come Take a Swim in My Ocean. The American Quartet popularized Sailing Down the Chesapeake Bay in 1912. Now when it comes to a subway, Walter Van Brunt brought us Subway Glide. Now let’s get off the ground as the “aeroplane” was coming of age in the early 20th century. Although not too many initially would be able to take a fun ride in a plane, by 1909, the Haydn Quartet sang Up in My Aeroplane. Then the next year, came Come Josephine, In My Flying Machine, I bet there is a song for just about any sport or leisure time activity known to mankind. Whether the
song is about the movies, buggy rides, sailing, flying, roller skating, all the way to hot rods and surfing, these songs through the generations chronicled our history and heritage of innovation, invention and just having good ole fashioned fun. Next week we’ll look at leisure time per capita, which according to some is still the same today as it was in 1900, although work and school hours are a different story. Sharon L.

Rest assured that our campuses have security systems in place and that our personnel, in partnership with law enforcement officials, have student safety as a top priority.” Creepy Clown sightings have become a nationwide trend, prompting fear, intimidation, confusion and violence in some cases.

He said the driver gave him an angry look and just went on to the back of the building to park,” Erica Sudz told the Star. The concerned single mother called the police to report the incident, and was later contacted by the school resource officer, who she said advised her son to walk his bike past the driveway in the future. “It’s hard when I leave the house at 6:30 to drive to San Antonio to work Monday through Friday,” Sudz said, adding she has witnessed other pedestrians cross the road with difficulty. “Fortunately, [my boys] are very good, well behaved boys so I know they will follow direction but the city needs to do something about the speeding on Blanco Road.” Michael Mann, Boerne public works director, said the area around Mary’s Tacos is often very busy. Cautionary signage and traffic control to protect pedestrians is not under the city’s jurisdiction, he said, but rather TxDOT’s (Texas Department of Transportation) purview. “I’ve personally had several close calls at that location. Technically, bicyclists should not be riding on the sidewalks. However, since there is no bicycle lane on Blanco, many don’t feel they have a realistic choice to ride on the pavement,” Mann said. Advising bicyclists to take an alternate route when possible to avoid the congestion, Mann said at the very least to dismount and walk through the area, giving drivers more time to see and react. “I will bring these issues up with TxDOT. I would agree that pedestrian crossings of Blanco can be treacherous, especially with school traffic,” Mann said, adding those on foot or bicycles should always cross at appropriate intersections. “It is typically a misconception that more signage (such as “Children

High pressure will dominate the weather pattern this weekend through most of next week for the Texas Hill Country meaning a persistence of dry conditions. Highs mainly in the 80s and lows mainly in the 60s. A weak cold front may pass through the area by late next week, but passage of this front looks to be dry right now with only slightly lower temperatures expected.

were investigated. Published theories state the hoax may have originated from a group of people who drew inspiration from the 2016 movie “The Purge: Election Year,” in which clowns dressed in bloody costumes are featured. Though primarily confined to online stalking, one child in Tampa Bay reported to authorities that a person dressed as a clown chased her while she waited for her school bus, according to Fox 13 news. In response, plain-clothed people have begun to retaliate, confronting people posed as clowns, chasing, them,
beating them with baseball bats or running them over with cars, then posting the videos on YouTube and Facebook. A Clown Lives Matter peaceful protest was set to take place this Saturday, Oct. 15, in Tucson, Arizona. Organizers cancelled the march on Thursday and deleted the Facebook event page after receiving death threats. “We are currently trying to follow up on a lead now but nothing else has been uncovered,” Kohler said of the BISD prank, adding no other clown incidents in the city limits had been reported. Kendall County Sgt. Neil Quick said a recent online
post predicting a clown presence in Comfort was investigated last week. He said it was not necessarily a threat, but he alerted patrol officers to be on the lookout. “They’re just trying to alarm people most of the time,” Quick said. “There was never any sighting.” With Halloween coming up, Quick said there could be a lot of people wearing clown costumes, especially with all of the ongoing hype. “If anyone feels like someone in a clown outfit is acting out of the ordinary, don’t confront them,” Quick cautioned. “Call us, and let us talk to them.”
of the Spyder riders are here to explore little known back roads of the Hill Country. “We’ve lived here for 45 years,” Diane Smith, Ray Smith’s wife and rally coorganizer said, “but until we got the Spyder, we didn’t explore all of these back roads
... we didn’t even know most of them existed. We always wondered what people who were coming from all over the country were coming here to see, and now we know.” “We’ve had our Spyder for about four years now,” Ray Smith said. “To me the
appeal is that you have the advantages of being out in the open air, seeing the countryside from an unenclosed vehicle, but you’re not going to dump it over. It’s no less fun than riding on a motorcycle, it’s just less stress – it’s just much more relaxed.”

The city also also added ADA accessibility features and soon will add “expression swings” that accommodate one child and one adult. Kinderpark, once an abandoned city well site, is one of the city’s nine parks and

at Play” or other cautionary signs) creates enhanced safety. That signage might make us feel better, but studies show that they do not significantly impact the behavior of most drivers. Certainly, protected pedestrian crossings are inherently safer. But then again, having protected crosswalks does little to protect sidewalk areas
between intersections. Signage placed between those points creates something else for drivers to observe – other than the pedestrians we hope they will see.” Police Chief James Kohler said no information regarding the vehicle or driver who struck the child was available. “What we really need is for drivers to operate at
safe speeds, without avoidable distractions, and with courtesy to others,” Mann said. “The more we can do to appeal to the well-intentioned driver, bicyclists and pedestrians to each do his part for enhanced safety, the better it will be for all of us.” The manager of Mary’s Tacos could not be reached for comment.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a Riverâ&#x20AC;? narrative debuts Ever wondered what life would have been like as an early German immigrant pioneer in the Hill Country, in an era where much of the terrain was natural, all local routes were unpaved and transportation usually involved at least one mule or horse? When the Genealogical Society of Kendall County (GSKC) debuts â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a Riverâ&#x20AC;? a window will open into the 19th century experiences of 1854 German immigrant Christian Friedrich Bergmann via â&#x20AC;&#x153;Readers Theater.â&#x20AC;? In 1857 Mr. Bergmann and his family settled along the Guadalupe River on future Kendall County land. In taking up the lifestyle of a farmer and rancher, Christian was prototypical. What sets him apart are that his original letters to his family back in Saxony were saved, translated and shared, and are the inspiration for this program. Mr. Bergmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words and insights have been crafted by Donna Peacock into a time machine, with actors giving voice to the Bergmanns â&#x20AC;Ś bringing the family to life. Donna Peacock is a former educator whose writing and publications include memoir, script, poetry and non-fiction. She designed and implemented the four-year Creative Writing Program at the North East School of the Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the time the first of its kind in the country for high school students. She has presented numerous writing workshops for both adults and children. Born and raised in San Antonio, she is now a proud resident of Boerne.

YOUR PROPERTY TAXES JUST WENT UP. OR HADN’T YOU HEARD? When local governments want to increase tax revenues, they are required to publish notices in the newspaper so that you will know. But that right to know could disappear. Local governmental entities across the state want to hide their public notices on little seen, rarely visited government websites. What you don’t know will affect you personally!
If it is not in the newspaper, you won’t know about it.
