The burn ban has been lifted. At the regular meeting of Kendall County Commissioners Court Monday, County Fire Marshal Jeff Fincke recommended commissioners formally rescind the burn ban, and they agreed. He said 119 Texas counties still had burn bans in place, but the number was slowly decreasing. Although the burn index had been around 700, or Critical, Fincke said it was now at 300 to 400 throughout the county. “The rain that we got definitely put some moisture back into the fuel...right now we’re in pretty good shape,” Fincke said.

Despite lifting the ban on outdoor burning, Fincke urged all residents to use extreme caution when burning brush or trash and to call 830-249-8645 to notify dispatchers when a controlled burn is planned. Fincke also presented an update on the LCRA 700 overlay system for emergency communications. Fincke said the Kendall tower should be complete the first week in October. The following week, Lower Colorado River Authority technicians will reprogram the county’s base radios, then start reprograming 900 radios for the Kendall County Sheriff’s Department and the Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch police departments to meet the new requirements. The week of Oct. 22 to 28, they will begin installing the radios in all law enforcement vehicles and base stations, with the new system up and running by Nov. 1. Federal

law requires that the new system be in place by Dec. 31, 2012. Commissioners approved several items associated with the Kendall County Youth Agriculture and Equestrian Center project. The first authorized purchase of the building from Horizon Structural Systems, Inc. The second authorized a contract with Speedway Erection Service Company for erecting the building, and the third approved acceptance of a bid for concrete foundation work from Boulder Contracting Co., of San Antonio. County Treasurer Sheryl D’ Spain reported county sales tax collections of $194,060.18 for July, up 21 percent from July last year. So far this year, sales tax collections stood

Several dozen people gathered on Friday morning to dedicate the newly revamped River Road Park then moved just down the road for thea dedication of the park’s new anchoring sculpture, “Father Gander.” The park’s ribbon cutting acknowledged the months of work and the quarter-million dollars involved in revitalizing Boerne’s much-loved park. City leaders, park department employees, citizens ... and residents of the goose and duck variety attended. Elected officials were recognized along with the many groups who participated in the effort. Improvements to the park include new picnic units, trails and fishing piers, interpretive signage and maps, trail lighting,

Fair Oaks Ranch joined Kendall County and Boerne by approving a property tax increase, along with budgets based on the higher rate. At a regular meeting of the Fair Oaks Ranch City Council Thursday, aldermen passed a property tax rate increase of 2.02 cents, bringing the 2012 rate to 26.63 cents per $100 valuation, a 9.32 percent increase from last year. They also adopted the general and utility fund budgets for the fiscal year 2012-13. During the second set of public hearings on Sept. 13 about the general and utility fund budgets and proposed tax rate, Fair Oaks Ranch resident Tom Boone had expressed opposition to all the increases. He particularly objected to a rise in salaries, benefits and administrative costs and the addition of a maintenance employee. “Property values have gone down,” he said, “so we’re giving everyone who works for the city a raise, increasing water and sewage rates, increasing property taxes and adding almost 5 percent to the head count. “I’m worried about fixed income citizens we have in this community who are not going to be able to afford to stay.” Boone thought increasing property taxes sent the wrong message, calling it “a bad decision all over.” In other budget-related matters, the council approved an ordinance authorizing property tax exemptions of $5,000 for homestead, $20,000 for 65 and over if the owner is a fulltime resident, and the amount required by law for disabled veterans. Early payment discounts on property taxes

Battle of the Bands set to rock area ministries The last weekend of September will feature a days-long event - “The Battle of the Bands” - to be held at the Javelina Harley-Davidson dealership on I-10. The Battle is being sponsored by Taking it to the Streets, a ministry that provides aid and “fellowship” to the homeless and the “have nots” of San Antonio and Boerne, the organization’s founder, Mark Johnson said. A midway carnival will also be present at the weekend affair, providing additional fun for the Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 27 through 30. With several activities - including the actual “Battle of the Bands” Saturday, Sept. 29, at 6 p.m., Johnson hopes to draw attention to a variety of volunteer opportunities that are available to residents of Kendall County. Although the event is a fundraiser, “the main focus is to raise the community’s awareness,” Johnson said. Organizations - some of them based in San Antonio - such as Hill

Country Daily Bread, The Little Black Dress Society, Go Tell Ministries, East Side Fellowship and One Less will have a presence throughout the weekend. “Churches talk about how the congregations need to ‘give back,’ but there are so many people in Boerne who don’t know how to go about it. So we want to let people know about the ministry,” Johnson said. Since youth involvement is the major thrust of the event, Battle of the Bands will feature headlining band, Space Man Stiff, as well as five competition bands. Taking it to the Streets provides ministry opportunities to over 100 youth in the San Antonio and Boerne areas. The organization addresses the needs of San Antonio’s homeless and Boerne’s needy, has a clothing ministry, is partnered with Hill Country Daily Bread and a program in Uganda.

Viewpoints Cases of the survival of the doggedest I’ve got to hand it to the Breadwinner. Somewhere near the top of his long Many Talents list is the ability to doggedly outlast his wife - he’s the undisputed champion when it comes to the sheer wearing down of me. For example, a long-time custom in our family is to take off our shoes when we come inside. For decades, the rest of us have dis-shod when we’ve entered our house. But not the Breadwinner. Several years ago I decided I would wear him down; for once I was going to outlast him. So several times a day I would respectfully ask: “Would you mind terribly taking your shoes off?” It was a campaign of Exhaustion-byPoliteness, more commonly known as “Kill It With Kindness.” I even mounted dispensers with disposable, put-em-onover-your-shoes booties by both garage doors. Oh well. I can say I tried. At some point after many, many months of my efforts, his doggedness won out. Just like he knew it would. He still brings in every loogie and melted popsicle he treads through from parking lots across the greater San Antonio

area. He is really, really nice but really, really persistent. I finally just gave up. I know when I’m beat. My husband also washes his hands in the kitchen sink despite knowing how much I hate gray, lifeless suds of indeterminate germiness floating around in whatever dish happens to catch handwash water. (He even, God bless him, did this the other day as he worried about having picked up salmonella in the hen pen.) Many years ago I started asking the Breadwinner not to wash his hands in the sink. I begged and I explained and I requested and I demanded. He usually responded with “OK, dear,” but again my pleading was no avail. He outlasted me. He knew that he could out-dogged me and that I’d eventually give up. Happily, neither of these conflicts are deal breakers. I mean, somebody has to give up. Might as well be me. All of which brings to mind the Boerne City Council. Thing is, I can’t seem to forget the town hall meeting of several years past, where record crowds showed up to protest the “proposed” (translation: “already Done Deal”) Esperanza

sub-development. In theory the city council had arranged the public gathering so that they could listen to what we citizens had to say. But it was quickly evident to all us attendees that the whole “town hall” production was just a show; they’d made up their minds before we the people ever got our chance to speak. Like the loogies on the Breadwinner’s soles, that evening has stuck with me. And I feel like it continues to happen - not only at the city, but at all levels of governance and authority. I frequently write my legislative representatives and I write the White House. But I’m not sure why I bother. I understand that they receive unimaginably huge quantities of mail – little of it as eloquent as mine – but responses invariably seem

to say, “Thanks, but _______” (fill in the blank). So I think I’ll quit trying. All you Boerne residents should probably quit trying too. Simply spare yourselves the effort since it sure seems like the city council is also in the business of saying, “Thanks, but _____.” Doesn’t matter what the issue is – even when citizens turn up and impassionedly speak their minds – our city government is just going to do what it’s going to do. Maybe we’re talking taxes. Maybe we’re talking new development. Maybe we’re talking rezoning. Doesn’t matter. Their minds are already made up. Argue? Explain? Plead? Don’t waste your time. If worse comes to worse, they’ll just table it until that day when you can’t plead anymore. Now, I get that the Breadwinner may have really good reasons for wearing his shoes in the house even when the rest of us don’t. I get that he may have justifiable reasons for washing his hands over resting dishes. So it would help if he’d explain these things to me. But as it is, he’s got a public image problem. Same with the city council. Maybe they

really DO listen to their constituents. But as it is, they just leave us scratching our heads. For example, nobody’s managed to explain why - even as the City website has an “Emergency Alert!” regarding strict water usage limitations - new development is always welcome. But just like the Breadwinner, the council falls back on that old outlasting strategy. Easier that way. That’s how it happens on Capitol Hill. That’s what happens at 402 E. Blanco. Or at least that’s how it seems to me. Whatever. It’s sure the case in my house, but hey, it’s only loogies on the carpet and grey suds in the sink. I’ll can live with that. And I guess I’ll live with the choices that the City Council makes too. Or at least I’ll live with them ‘til the Breadwinner turns on the tap to wash his hands in the kitchen sink … and nothing comes out. But until then, I can guaran-damn-tee you, that my husband and the government will prove to be more dogged than I am. Just one of the things on very long lists of Many Talents.

Celebrating VFW Day Each year on Sept. 29 VFW Day is celebrated in communities around the world. It is a day devoted to the organization and its dedicated members who are deeply committed to serving those who bravely serve this nation. This year marks the 113th year since the Veteran’s of Foreign Wars was established. On this date in 1899, a small group of SpanishAmerican war veterans joined together to form what is now the nation’s largest and most dedicated group of combat veterans. For 113 years the VFW has been unwavering in its devotion “to honor

the dead by helping the living.” The VFW, its Auxiliaries and specifically VFW Post 688 carry out this mission by honoring, serving and educating veterans and citizens of Kendall County. This commitment to the nation and community is demonstrated through community serve projects, youth activities and scholarships, public servant and teacher recognition programs and million of volunteer hours dedicated to local communities around the world each year. Please use Sept. 29 to remember all those who have served our country and especially those who continue to be in harm’s way. – Dave Judson, VFW Post 688 Commander

Politicians often give their best speeches on their way out the door. It has something to do with having nothing to lose. In 2009, George W. Bush finally said - and this time with passion what I had wanted to hear for three years. I was never overly impressed with Mitt Romney in the 2008 Republican primary. Then he gave his concession speech on Feb. 7, 2008. I wondered where that candidate had been all along. Here are some revealing lines from that speech: ON AMERICA’S PLACE IN THE WORLD: “Unless America changes course, we could become the France of the 21st century. Still a great nation, but not the leader of the world, not the superpower. And to me that’s unthinkable. The best ally peace has ever known and will ever know is a strong America.” Europe’s severe economic woes since 2008 make this point even more apropos. Ongoing misbehavior in the Middle East does, too. “The greatest challenge facing America is the threat of radical, violent jihad. They find the idea of human equality to be equally offensive. They hate everything we believe about freedom just as we hate everything they believe about radical jihad.”

AMERICAN DREAMING

Kevin Thompson

It’s not about dueling YouTube videos. It’s about a fundamental hatred of our way of life. Such hatred must be met with strength, not appeasement. ON DOMESTIC POLICY: “Welfare programs created a culture of poverty in our country. Some people think we won that battle when we reformed welfare. But the liberals haven’t given up. At every turn, they tried to substitute government largess for individual responsibility. “Dependency is death to initiative, risk-taking and opportunity. Dependency is culture killing. It’s a drug. We’ve got to fight it like the poison it is.” The Obama Administration’s recent attempt to unilaterally weaken welfare requirements is the latest case in point. ON CULTURE:

“The attack on faith and religion is no less relentless. And tolerance for pornography, even celebration of it and sexual promiscuity, combined with the twisted incentives of government welfare, have led to today’s grim realities: 68 percent of African-American kids born out of wedlock, 45 percent of Hispanic kids, 25 percent of white kids. “How much harder it is for these kids to succeed in school and in life? A nation built on the principles of the founding fathers cannot long stand when its children are raised without fathers in the home.” Childhood obesity is a problem, but it’s not a root problem. Romney understands causes, not just symptoms. Others simply medicate symptoms while placating causes. ON GOVERNMENT SPENDING: “Entitlements make up 60 percent of federal spending today. By (2016) they will total 70 percent. Any conservative plan for the future has to include entitlement reform that solves the problem, not just acknowledges it.” And to think this was said $6 trillion in debt ago, before the near-billion dollar stimulus bill

Texas receives clean water funds from EPA AUSTIN - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last week announced its award of $57,041,000 to the Texas Water Development Board to support the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program. The funds are for loan assistance to eligible water systems for infrastructure improvements needed “to ensure safe drinking water is available to Texas residents.” The fund program was established under the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996 authorizing the EPA to award capitalization grants to states, which in turn are authorized to provide low-cost loans and other types of assistance to public water systems to finance the costs of infrastructure projects needed to achieve or maintain compliance with the act’s requirements. States are also authorized to use a portion of their capitalization grants to fund a range of set-aside

activities including source water protection, capacity development and operator certification. The program helps to ensure that the nation’s drinking water supplies remain safe and affordable and that public water systems that receive funding are properly operated and maintained, the EPA said. In other news, President Obama appointed Ron Curry of New Mexico to head Dallas-based EPA Region 6, which includes Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. Curry is the first non-Texan to serve as director of the region since the EPA

was created in 1970. Curry succeeds Al Armendariz who resigned six months ago. TEXAS LEADS IN JOB GAIN Texas added 38,000 seasonally adjusted nonfarm jobs in August, leading the nation in number of jobs gained for the month, the Texas Workforce Commission and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week. Closest to Texas in monthly gains were Florida with 23,200 jobs gained, and Missouri with 17,900 jobs gained. Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.1 percent in August, the same as for the month of July. A year ago, Texas’ unemployment rate was tabulated at 8.1 percent. Texas’ job growth rate has been positive for 28 consecutive months and has been at or above 2.0 percent since December 2011, Texas Workforce Commission reported

Sept. 21. Among the states, the largest over-the-year percentage gains in overall employment occurred in three states where oil and gas exploration are robust: North Dakota, 6.7 percent, followed by Oklahoma, 2.9 percent, and Texas, 2.5 percent. ‘FAST’ RATINGS RELEASED Texas Comptroller Susan Combs on Sept. 19 published the 2012 Financial Allocation Study for Texas ratings that chart academic progress and cost effectiveness in 1,136 public school districts and charter schools. Ratings are from one to five stars, in half-star increments. A district that achieves the highest rating of five stars ranks among the top 20 percent of all Texas school districts in academic progress, while keeping expenditures

More reasons than vaccines to visit a veterinarian Ask 10 veterinarians and get 10 different answers. There is really only one hard and fast rule and several veterinary organizations with a task force to evaluate the situation. Veterinary journals offer lengthy discussions about this topic and millions of dollars are being spent on research every year. There are ones that are now considered “core” and “non-core” and some are not recommended. I know discussing this in the newspaper will add to the con-

troversy but what the heck? Do I have your attention? Vaccinations are given to our pets to protect them from disease. Seems straight forward: Go to the vet and get your pet’s vaccines, mark it off your list. Done until next year. But ... if you take your pet to a veterinarian only for vaccines or you believe that is the primary reason to visit the vet, you should change your focus and look forward to chatting with your vet about other topics like the Spurs, what you bought at Boerne Mar-

ket Days, Dachshund races at the Berges Fest or what you recently read in the local paper. Really, we love to hear about other things! A visit to the veterinarian should not be just for vaccines. What your pet really needs is a thorough physical examination, preventative healthcare screening for intestinal parasites and heartworms, discussion of nutrition and dental health and if your pet is older, a routine check of the urine and blood to detect kidney disease, diabetes or other “hidden” health

problems. Then, depending on the age, health status, home environment, previous vaccination history and where you live, vaccinations should be given according your pet’s individual need. Vaccination protocols for pets are changing and the only hard and fast rule is that rabies vaccinations are given based on local county laws. Residents of Kendall County are required to vaccinate their dogs and cats every year for rabies. If you live in Bexar County, rabies vaccination is required every three years. I remember when puppies frequently died of parvo virus and

young cats and kittens developed which ones are not. There are Federal laws that vetertumors and severe illness from feline leukemia.

Age difference raises question of future Question: I have just entered into a relationship with a man whom I really love and care for. I have one small but nagging concern about our relationship - I’m 22 years old and he’s almost 40. Is this a problem? Will it be a problem in the future? Jim: There’s nothing inherently wrong with such an arrangement, but there are certainly some things you should consider before going too deep into the relationship. The first has to do with the basic difference in your life experiences. You’re barely beyond college-age; he’s approaching midlife and has already spent considerable time in the adult world pursuing a career and having romantic relationships. Under normal circumstances, he will have achieved a greater degree of maturity than you have at this stage in your life. Now, I’m not accusing you of being “immature.” And it’s quite possible that he’s young at heart. But you should honestly consider whether the difference in your levels of life experience will impact your relationship before forging ahead. In addition, some young women are attracted to older men because they’re really looking for a father figure. The men recognize this and end up manipulating or controlling their younger girlfriends. Take a personal inventory and consider whether you view your boyfriend as a peer and partner, or if you’re seeking an unmet father-need in your life. If it’s the latter, you should put a halt to the relationship in fairness to you both. I know plenty of happily married couples who have significant age differences between them. But you do need to take these things into account before moving forward. Question: When I got engaged last week, I got a hostile reaction

from my parents, especially my mom. She believes we’re “too young,” even though we’re both in our mid-20s! I’m wondering if this is because of the “empty nest” syndrome - my mom and I have always been close, and I’m the last of her children to leave the home. We’ve always been a tight-knit family and this crisis really concerns me. What should I do? Juli: Even though, in your mind, parents should greet an engagement with a lot of enthusiasm, it’s fairly normal for them to have some anxiety, and even hostility. You’ve already touched on the idea that it will be difficult for your mom to let you go. Your marriage means a huge transition, not only in your relationship with her, but in her own life. Give her time to adjust to the idea of losing you. Having said that, your parents may also have legitimate concerns about your engagement.

Often they can see something that you can’t. For example, they may observe that your fiance is controlling or rude. If they’re hitting on something that could be true, validate the concern. You could say, “I can see what you’re saying. That’s why we are going through premarital counseling.” This mature attitude will assure your parents that you’re going into marriage with your eyes wide open and that you’re aware of possible red flags. If your parents continue to harp on the same concerns, remind them that you’ve already talked about that and considered their advice. Also, be careful not to put your fiance in the middle of the drama with your parents. Emotions are probably running high on all sides. Don’t make decisions or statements that could do lasting damage to the long-term relationships. Your parents will likely come around to supporting your engagement and marriage. In the meantime, reaffirm your love for them, acknowledging that this is a tough time for them.

Public Enemy Number One? Read on! Laura and Heather are worlds apart. Laura is a child of a time long past, living with Pa, Ma and sisters Mary and Carrie in a tiny log cabin tucked neatly at the edge of the Big Woods of 1871 Wisconsin. Heather’s world is a far different one; she is very much a child of today, a suburban life punctuated by a trim front lawn and two loving parents, Mama Kate and Mama Jane. Laura and Heather. One child rooted in traditional values, the other representing alternative lifestyles at their most controversial. So very different, and yet so very similar for both little girls have been banned and censored. Laura, as you might have guessed, is Laura Ingalls of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s children’s classic “Little House on the Prairie� series. Heather is the creation of Leslea Newman, whose “Heather Has Two Mommies� broke new ground in 1980 with its positive depiction of same-sex parents. Both books have been challenged as inappropriate over the years, Wilder’s book for its depiction of Native Americans as savages, Newman’s book for its presentation of same-sex parents. The point here is not to debate the appropriateness of these books’ content, but rather to emphasize a people’s right to free access to any book regardless of its subject matter. Banned Book Week will occur the last week of September, a time when libraries and bookstores around the nation mount displays and host programs to make people aware of the dangers of censorship. Now in its 30th year, the first Banned Books Week took place in 1982 in response to mounting cases of books being challenged in libraries, schools and book stores. Over 11,300 books have been challenged over the past three decades. Challenges are most often predicated on complaints about

Boerne's Bryce Collins (28) runs behind his blocker Paul Burns (20) as teammate Daren Satsky (77) watches during Friday's contest against Llano.

Hounds hold off late Llano rally for victory BY KERRY BARBOZA

■ Sports Editor

Boerne High improved to 2-2 this year after they held off a late Llano rally for the 35-27 victory Friday night at BISD Stadium. Both of Boerne’s wins this season have come at home against a team wearing orange and black, and on both occasions, the Hounds have sprinted out to big leads only to hold off a late charge by the visiting team for the win. In Friday's contest, Llano scored 27 fourth-quarter points to make it interesting. Greyhounds coach Mike Dormady said he’s glad for the two wins, but added they have to stay focused all four quarters. “I’m not sure what it is, but we have to overcome the mental block of feeling comfortable,” he said. “If you’re feeling comfortable you’re not working hard enough and we go through stretches where we feel comfortable.” The Hounds had a great first half in Friday’s game and jumped out to a 21-0 lead over the Yellowjackets. Bryce Collins scored on Boerne’s second play from scrimmage for the 7-0 lead just

23 seconds into the game. Collins ran for 27 yards on the first carry and then added a 36-yard scramble for the quick score. On Boerne’s next possession, Quinten Dormady hooked up with Paul Burns on a six-yard pass to cap an eight play, 65-yard drive and make it 14-0 after the Taylor Knopf PAT less than six minutes into the contest. In the second quarter, the Hounds found the end zone again after Quinten Dormady connected with Bradley Veselka on a 46-yard scoring strike for the 21-0 lead with 7:35 left before halftime. The BHS defense did a great job against the Llano offense in the first half and limited the Yellowjackets to 79 yards and four first downs. In that first half, Llano had the ball seven times and punted on four possessions, gave the ball back on loss of downs once, were intercepted by Bryce Hall and then ran out of time before the half. Dormady gave credit to the defense for their strong first half.

See HOUNDS, page 10

Wow. There’s no other way to describe Thursday night’s shootout between Boerne Champion and Marble Falls. When the dust had finally settled, the teams combined for 16 touchdowns, 1,300 passing yards and 1,498 combined yards and at least one state record was broken as the Mustangs won a wild one over the Chargers, 62-55. Marble Falls quarterback Mike Richardson, who attended BMSN, threw for more than 700 yards, which set a new state record for most passing yards in a game. Champion’s Kyle Poeske almost matched Richardson’s feat and threw for 585 yards, which puts Poeske on the top-10 all time list in the state for the second time this year after he threw for 577 yards in the Chargers opener. Poeske’s 585 yards (the total derived after the Champion coaching staff reviewed the game on film) is the most yardage thrown for in the greater San Antonio area and puts him ahead of former NFL players such as Tommy Kramer and Ty Detmer. Despite the record-setting night, the bottom line for Champion coach Danny Threadgill is that the team lost. The Chargers are now 2-1 and face Alamo Heights Friday in their district opener at BISD Stadium for homecoming. “Records mean nothing,” Threadgill said. “It comes down to the fact (Richardson) had a great night, but we still lost and have to get things on the right path.” Thursday’s game started deceptively slow. It was only 7-7 after the first quarter. Champion drew first blood when Poeske hit Austin Humphrey on a 30-yard strike to make it 7-0 after the Clayton Hatfield PAT with 4:40 left in the quarter. On their next possession, the Mustangs answered when Richardson hit Garrett Gray on a nine-yard pass to tie it up at 7-7. That’s when the fireworks

Chargers win last four tennis matches The Boerne Champion tennis team had a busy week of tennis with four matches last week – three of them against district opponents – and the good news for the Chargers is that they won all four matches. On Tuesday, the Chargers defeated Kerrville Tivy, 19-0, to open district play and on Friday, Champion traveled to San Antonio to take on Reagan in a nondistrict match and won that one, 13-3. On Saturday, Champion knocked off two district opponents, Lockhart and Seguin. The Chargers defeated Seguin 19-0 and breezed past Lockhart 18-1. The Chargers are 11-4 overall and 3-0 in district. This week the team hosts MacArthur on Wednesday at the Champion courts at 4:30 p.m. in a nondistrict match. From there, the Chargers will Star photo: Kerry Barboza continue district play on Saturday with two matches when they play Champion's Sara Thompson and the rest of the CharHays and Lehman in Kerrville at 9 gers tennis team picked up four wins last week, three a.m. and 2 p.m. of them district wins.

Champion sacks Seguin in district play The Boerne Champion volleyball team picked up a road win Friday night when they swept Seguin, 25-21, 25-20, 25-22. Champion improved its overall record to 23-7 and the Lady Chargers are 4-1 in district play. Champion continues district play Tuesday when they host Lockhart at 6:30 p.m. They'll also play Alamo Heights later in the week. Champion’s lone loss in district came to Buda Hays and it hurt them in the Texas Girls Coaches Association state rankings. Before the loss to the Lady Rebels, Champion was No. 2 in the poll, but they dropped to No. 15 after the loss. Champion has been playing without its best player Claire Kreuz who is nursing a sore shoulder. In Friday’s match, Emily Johnson and Haley Higgins paced the Chargers with 11 kills each, while Rachel Wallace added 20 assists and Higgins totaled 17 assists. Samantha McLelland recorded 13 digs and Johnson totaled 11 digs, while Casey Klobedans finished with seven blocks. Higgins, Elizabeth Alamillo and McLelland all dropped in one ace apiece.

fumbled and it was recovered by Jarzombek in the end zone. The score at the half was 35-24 in favor of the Mustangs, who started the third quarter much like they ended the second, with another passing touchdown. Just three plays into their drive, Richardson hit Gray for his fourth receiving TD of the contest on a three-play drive that lasted 47 seconds. Champion answered with a two-play drive that took just 23 seconds off the clock when Poeske found Chandler Ruble for a 34-yard TD pass. The touchdown was set up when Poeske connected with Travis Pospisil on a 47-yard completion to move the ball to the Mustangs’ 34. The two short scoring drives to start the third by the teams were kind of a synopsis of the game. There were seven scoring drives in the game that were four plays or less. Marbles Falls outscored Champion 13-10 in the third to take a 48-34 lead into the fourth with the Ruble TD and a Hatfield 30-yard field goal resulting in Champion’s 10 points. The Chargers outscored the Mustangs 21-14 in the fourth as the teams combined for 35 points in the final stanza. Jarzombek caught touchdown passes of 21 and 35 yards from Poeske and Dillon Manz hauled in a four-yard TD pass from Poeske as well. The Mustangs had 14 points as Richardson ran three yards for a score and then hit Gray on a 73-yard bomb for Gray’s fifth receiving TD of the night and Richardson’s sixth passing score. “It went back and forth. We were out of it and battled back, but Richardson and Gray were on,” Threadgill said. “We just had trouble getting through that big old offensive line to get pressure

Deer volleyballers take district opener Comfort opened district volleyball play Friday night at home against Johnson City and swept the Lady Eagles in three, 25-5, 25-23, 25-13. The Deer, 1-0 in district and 17-9 overall, continue district play Tuesday at home and have a tough one when they take on No. 1 state ranked Lago Vista. Comfort’s next two matches are at home to close out the first round and then the Deer hit the road for all four district matches in the second round. In Friday’s contest, Emily Martinez led the Deer with 14 kills and five aces, Daisy Avalos added 18 assists, MacKenzie Maltsberger totaled nine digs, while Haley Butler and Ciara Butler both finished with one block each. Tuesday’s match with No. 1 ranked Lago Vista is set to begin at 7 p.m.

FROM PAGE 9 “If we’re fitting things and we’re physical, we’re in good shape no matter who we’re playing because I think we match up with anybody we play defensively,” he said. “It’s just a matter of how we play when our backs are up against the wall and how we play when we’re tired and how we play when we’re under pressure.” It was a strange third quarter since there were only three possessions in the entire period. Llano took the opening kickoff and held the ball four minutes before they gave it back on loss of downs. The Hounds took over at their own 41 but went 3 and out and punted it back after they could only hold onto the ball for 1:25 for their only possession of the third quarter. From there, the Yellowjackets took over with 6:20 left in the third and went on an impressive drive that resulted in their first score of the game early in the fourth. The drive was 18 plays, went 95 yards and ate 7:34 off the clock. On the ensuing kickoff, Llano squib kicked the ball and it bounced off a Boerne player near midfield and the Yellowjackets recovered at the BHS 48 to regain

on him and it gave him extra time to throw the ball and as efficient as he was he didn’t need any extra time tonight.” Richardson completed 37 of his 46 attempts, while Poeske was 35 of 58. As crazy as the game was, Champion still had a chance to tie after the Manz score. The Chargers were down by seven, 62-55 and went for the onside kick with 41 seconds left in the game. If they would have recovered, 41 seconds was an eternity at the clip the teams were scoring Thursday, but the Mustangs recovered and ran out the clock. Threadgill said his team had its chances to win despite the record-setting performance from Richardson. “We did a lot of good things, but we had some big drops early that would have helped us,” he said. “We just didn’t execute as well as we needed to early in the game. When we did start to execute good things started to happen for us. As good as 55 points was I think we could have put 75 points on the board.”

NOTES: The Stamp Management Offensive Player of the Game was Kyle Poeske, while the Stamp Management Defensive Player of the Game was John Griffith who finished the game with seven tackles, three assisted tackles, one knockdown and he caused two fumbles. … Michael Moloney led the team in receiving with 225 yards on 15 receptions and one touchdown. Spencer Jarzombek added 135 yards on seven catches with two receiving touchdowns and a fumble recovery for a score. Chandler Ruble added four catches for 69 yards and a score, Hunter McMurrey caught two passes for 26 yards, Travis Pospisil hauled in two passes for 51 yards, Austin Humphrey grabbed two passes for 38 yards and a score, while Dillon Manz made two catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. … Even with all the passing Champion added 112 rushing yards on 23 carries. Pospisil led the team with 49 ground yards, Poeske had 46, McMurrey carried once for seven yards and Humphrey added 10 yards.

possession. Four plays later, Llano scored and it was 21-14 with their two touchdowns coming 51 seconds apart and suddenly it was a ball game again with 9:51 left in the contest. “The third quarter got away from us defensively,” Dormady said. “I’ve got to come up with new ways to put pressure on them so we don’t lose our focus like we did there.” Llano tried the same squib kick again, but this time Boerne recovered and had great field position at their own 46. Three plays and 25 seconds later the Hounds got on the board again when Collins scored his second TD of the night on a 19-yard run and BHS had some breathing room at 28-14 after the Knopf PAT. Collins had a strong night rushing the ball and finished with 229 yards on 27 carries. At the half, Collins had racked up 179 yards as Boerne moved the ball well between the tackles. In the game, the Hounds actually ran for more yards than they passed, 229 to 179. “When you look at the end of the year it will be pretty balanced across the board, but one game might be 70 percent pass and 30 percent run because teams have wanted to take the run away and the score dictated having to throw,” Dormady said. “But if

teams are going to give us the run we’re going to pound Bryce in there and make it happen.” The Collins’ TD was huge because Llano scored on its third straight possession and it was 28-21 with 6:04 remaining, but the Hounds answered on their next drive to push their lead to 35-21. Boerne’s drive ate 4:07 off the clock, took 10 plays and was capped when Burns caught his second touchdown of the night from Quinten Dormady on a 29-yard pass. Llano wouldn’t go away and took over with 1:54 left in the game and scored with 33 seconds remaining on the clock to make it a one-possession game at 35-27 after a missed extra point. Llano tried an onside kick but the ball didn’t roll the required 10 yards and Boerne was awarded the ball at the Llano 48 and ran out the clock for the win. The Hounds travel to Lyle this Friday to wrap up the nondistrict portion of their schedule. NOTES: The Stamp Management Offensive Players of the Game were Bryce Hall and Paul Burns who both scored two touchdowns in the contest. Doak Field was named the Stamp Management Defensive Player of the Game after he recorded 14 tackles and recovered an onside kick that iced the game.

Bandera answered with Michael Miller who capped two Bandera drives with touchdown runs of 15 and 4 yards for the 14-14 score at halftime.

The misunderstood opossum “Ick! Get those rodents out of here!” Everyone has seen them, maybe even has them living in their own backyards. The humble opossum. Many people, if not most, also harbor fear or hatred for these misunderstood creatures. But they are actually quite amazing! They are animals that evolution forgot. First, contrary to popular belief, opossums are not rodents. They are marsupials - like kangaroos, they birth and rear their young in a specialized pouch. In fact, they are the only marsupials in all of North America. While marsupials thrive in many different environments, the opossum is the only marsupial species that has lasted here. Opossums are largely unchanged throughout the last several million years, and are sometimes called “living fossils.” They have more teeth than any other mammal! While opossums are often unfairly considered unwanted in human territories, they are actually handy to have around. They put those teeth to work eating tarantulas, scorpions - even rattlesnakes are no match for an opossum. An opossum’s overall diet is varied. They will basically eat pretty much anything. From carrion to fruit, they can make use of many different types of food. Opossums are also highly food motivated, which is one reason why they are often, unfortunately, found dead on the road. They will defend their food rather than leave

it, even if they are fighting a losing battle against a car. Which brings us to defense mechanisms: everyone has heard of “playing possum,” pretending to be asleep when actually awake. Opossums don’t actually pretend to sleep though, they pretend to be dead. The idea is that a large predator who is interested in preying on the opossum will lose interest in an animal that might be carrion. Opossums play this “game” quite well, becoming highly rigid to simulate rigor mortis, and also releasing their bowels to increase a carrion-like smell. Opossums pose little danger to humans. They are unlikely to attack unless provoked, and are highly unlikely to spread zoonotic diseases (diseases that both humans and animals can get). While technically any mammal can become infected with rabies, it is highly unlikely in many species - the opossum is one of them. Opossums have a very slow metabolism which creates an unfavorable environment for the rabies virus. Opossums have exceedingly short life spans for a mammal, believed to live as little as two years. So how are there so many of them

out there? The secret to success is in the marsupial reproduction system, which is quite remarkable. After a very short gestation period, 11 to 14 days, baby opossums are “born.” But the marsupial birth is a much different type of birth than other mammals experience. Not much larger than a grain of rice, blind, and hairless, the young amazingly crawl unaided out of the birth canal and into the pouch. Next, it’s a race to attach to a teat. While opossums can have many offspring, up to 21, they usually have only 13 teats. The babies that don’t reach a teat will die. At this point, the 13 survivors don’t actually nurse from their mothers in the traditional sense. Their mouths are fused closed with only a tiny opening. Once they have attached, the teat will swell to fill the young’s mouth. After remaining in the pouch for about seven weeks, the babies will be able to detach themselves and leave the pouch. However, they will remain with their mother for a few weeks to months after that. They crawl from the pouch to the mother’s back, and hold on as the mother searches for food. Because opossums are marsupials, they don’t engage in much maternal care. If a young opossum falls off his mother’s back, she is unlikely to go looking for him. Luckily, opossums can take care of themselves from a young age. An opossum about the size of a human fist, or 5 inches long not including the tail, is old enough to be on his own. An opossum smaller than that, found away from his mother,

should be referred to a rehabilitation professional. Once opossums are on their own, they can live in a variety of environments: another secret to their success! They prefer woody areas along streams, but can also make their homes in urban settings. They have a prehensile tail, which means that they have amazing con- An opossum mother carrying around her trol over their long, hairless tail.

not an effective permanent solution, as another wild animal may gladly move in to the opossum’s old territory. Also, considering that opossums do such a good job of keeping dangerous insects and reptiles at bay, why not keep the free pest control around?
