COVID 19 CASES

Governor OKs more reopening Bars can open Friday at quarter of capacity; Gillespie restaurants will stay at 50% From staff reports

Bars, nonessential office buildings and many summer camps are areas set to reopen after Governor Greg Abbott announced Phase 2 of his reopening plan for the Texas economy.

The televised announcement means Fredericksburg’s tourism industry can begin to re-emerge, after having been nearly completely dormant for two months.

Restaurants in Gillespie County will remain at 50% capacity after having

been allowed to open two weeks ago.

(Most other Texas eateries in locations with higher COVID-19 case counts will be allowed to expand to 50% from 25%.)

For bar and tasting room openings, it was encouraged that persons should be seated at tables in groups no larger than six, a distance of six feet or more between parties, and dancing is discouraged.

Additionally, businesses located in office buildings are allowed to open with 25% of employees.

Childcare services, a big concern for working parents, are now allowed to open with certain precautions.

“Today, tomorrow, every day going forward is one day closer to medical discoveries that will help treat and protect people from getting COVID-19,” Abbott said. “Until that day comes, our focus is to keep you safe — while also restoring your ability to get back to work.”

Abbott said his recommendations were “based on the advice of the best medical doctors, as well as a team of REOPENING ▶ A/B13

Board plans for next year Calendar, attendance still unknown with changing virus status

By McKenzie Moellering Standard-Radio Post reporter

Plans for the 2020-2021 school year were on the table Monday night at the Fredericksburg Independent School District Board of Trustees meeting.

While the board took no action on the upcoming school year schedule, many ideas were presented.

“We wanted to look at our current calendar and figure out how to still have 76,500 minutes or more but spreading it out over the year,” Supt. Dr. Jeff Brasher said. “This would also give us some options in case we have another COVID

shutdown.”

Leadership was expected to meet Tuesday, May 19, to come up with three to four different calendar options that would be reviewed.

“Some districts across the state have chosen to keep their regular calendar, meaning if there were a shut down, school would have to be extended into June or July,” Brasher said. “We want to get some clear direction on the board to figure out what we need to do.”

One idea would be to implement a remediation plan.

“How would remediation work and FISD ▶ A/B4

COVID-19 testing slated to begin on nursing home residents, staff

By McKenzie Moellering Standard-Radio Post reporter

The Texas Department of Emergency Management and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently announced local nursing homes will partner with public health authorities to expand COVID-19 testing.

This is made in an effort to provide more COVID-19 testing throughout the state, especially in areas that are considered hotspots.

“Fredericksburg Fire EMS has been tasked with the testing on nursing home patients,” Fredericksburg Fire EMS Infectious Disease Control Officer Catherine Kuhlmann said. “We are currently working to facilitate the best course of action with all parties involved to determine the best way to accomplish this mission.”

Currently, the state is only requiring nursing home staff and residents to be tested.

This does not include assisted living facilities or memory care facilities.

Nursing homes, prisons and

meat packing plants are considered hot spots for the virus but only nursing homes are required for testing at this time.

For Fredericksburg, 536 tests would be administered per the state’s orders.

Residents and staff can refuse testing, but would then be required to quarantine for 14 days, City of Fredericksburg staff said.

According to officials from the City of Fredericksburg, there are three potential options for testing. They include: • Setting up a testing site with a private entity; • Training nursing home staff to perform testing and sending tests to a qualified lab; • Bring a mobile testing task force to nursing home facilities for testing.

“No final decision has been made despite having a deadline,” Kuhlmann said. “With the lack of available tests, it makes it almost impossible for us to meet the Friday deadline. We have tests on

order, but we don’t know when exactly they will be here.”

Costs associated with providing these tests are eligible for federal reimbursement.

Kuhlmann sa id Fredericksburg Fire EMS first responders will act in a support role only.

“We want to provide the least amount of interruption to these facilities and we do not want to bring the virus in or take the virus back out into the community, if it were to be present,” Kuhlmann said.

“We want to support the governor and this goal, and get it done in a timely manner.”

This partnership has been developed and is being implemented through an ongoing collaboration between TDEM, the Texas Commission on Fire Protection, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of State Health Services.

“This builds upon our efforts to expand COVID-19 testing in the Lone Star State, especially among our most

vulnerable Texans,” Abbott said. “I thank our local fire departments for continuing to serve their fellow Texans throughout the COVID-19 response. By serving their communities in this new capacity, we will continue to contain the spread of this virus and protect the health and safety of all Texans.”

Other testing The Texas Military Department conducted two days of mobile testing and administered 235 tests.

The city has not been notified of any positive test results from the mobile testing sites, as of press time.

The city is only notified of a positive test result if the patient tested resides in Gillespie County.

On Tuesday, Hill Country Memorial reported that 595 tests have been conducted by their organization. Of those, 580 have come back negative and 15 tests are pending.

The county’s five positive tests are all considered recovered as of press time.

CITY COUNCIL Cont. from A/B1

marily in the general and tourism funds.

Over the past month, the city suspended hiring, travel and other expenses. Myers said officials also asked each department to begin finding reductions to propose to the council.

Plans are to cut the Street Paving Program by 50%, or $295,000, but allow for some paving.

They also plan to cut the Street Decorative Lighting Project budget by $225,000 from its total cost of $450,000.

This means no money will be spent for the Street Decorative Lighting Project in 2020.

In the Electric Fund, the city plans to reduce power purchases by $500,000.

In the Water Fund, the city plans to spend none of its budgeted $1,515,000 on the U.S. 290 East Sewer Extension.

Myers said this project is on hold due to litigation.

In the Street Fund, the city plans to cut full-time employee wages — initially budgeted at $715,268 — by $93,989.21, as positions vacated due to upcoming retirements won’t be filled until October at the earliest.

Also, the city plans to cut the $2,492,934 police wages budget by $169,459, as the Fredericksburg Police Department plans not to fill several vacancies for the time being.

The city also plans to hold off on the Lady Bird Johnson RV Park restroom replacement, which means a cut of $235,500. Marktplatz improvements will also be postponed, saving the city $150,000.

Myers said the city’s goal is to make necessary cuts while also preserving essential ser-

vices to its citizens. He also said these are based on several unknowns.

The city will continue to monitor sales taxes and Hotel Occupancy Taxes, and Myers said staff might have to come back to the council later in the fiscal year to consider additional budget adjustments.

The council made a unanimous 4-0 vote to accept the budget amendments.

City Manager’s Report Myers gave an update on Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order issued on Monday.

Phase II of Abbott’s plan allows childcare facilities around the state to open to all customers effective immediately. Social distancing, sanitation procedures and other regulations must be followed.

Beginning Friday, restaurants around the state can serve at 50% capacity.

Gillespie County restaurants were already allowed to do this due top a low case count and will continue.

Bars and wine tasting rooms can also open this Friday at 25% capacity. Bowling alleys are also allowed to open under this rule.

On May 31, youth sports activities and camps can begin if they practice social distancing and sanitation procedures.

On June 1, summer schools will be able to open for classroom attendance.

Recovery Task Force Clinton Bailey, assistant city manager, gave an update on the COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force’s findings.

Bailey said only about 50% of businesses reopened last week, as half are waiting to see how things play out. Some

businesses are operating at full capacity as usual.

Mental health has reportedly declined among residents, Bailey said. Hill Country Memorial, which recently organized first responder training for depression and suicidal risk training for the Fredericksburg Independent School District, will set up a training for local business leaders soon.

“This group isn’t just about small business support — it’s about support across the entire community,” Bailey said. “That mental stress and anguish a lot of people are feeling is a real thing.”

Some businesses have reported having a hard time finding new employees for hire or getting employees to come back to work.

There were also discussions about businesses struggling to survive under the 25-50% occupancy. Businesses are asking about paycheck protection plans and small business loans for assistance.

Reopening facilities Per Abbott’s executive order, the council voted to reopen several facilities.

City Hall and the City Hall Annex is set to reopen Monday, June 1, to allow for the installation of Plexiglas shields to protect tellers and allow time for the city to identify which employees will need child care.

They also hope to reopen the Recycling Center on June 1.

Employees would be required to wear masks and customers would be asked to communicate to staff through passenger or rear vehicle windows.

Staff also plans to reopen Fort Martin Scott buildings at

25% attendance on Thursday, May 21, all restrooms at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park prior to Memorial Day weekend and begin accepting reservations for the RV Park on Thursday.

The Tatsch Haus, Pioneer Pavilion, all Marktplatz pavilions and buildings are slated to open June 1. Old Fair Park Basketball Pavilion and Skate Park, and playgrounds should also open June 1, he said.

The Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Golf Course will reopen its food and beverage operations for To-Go and outside seating ahead of Memorial Day weekend. Inside dining should begin June 1.

Opening retail areas is set to begin, too. Customers will be asked to wear face coverings while shopping. The beverage cart will also be operating again and allow for cash payment. The driving range should reopen on June 1.

Other business The council also approved: • Insurance coverage for the July 4 Parade and OK’d a recurring fee waiver request for the Fredericksburg Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 7105 Fourth of July Kiddie Parade; • An ordinance to change the speed limit between West Main Street and U.S. 87 North from 45 to 40 mph, which was determined by the basis of an Engineering and Traffic Study; • An ordinance to create a Joint Airport Zoning Board and invest it with powers authorized under the provisions of the Airport Zoning Act; and • The annual review of the city’s Investment Policy and Investment Strategies.

FISD Cont. from A/B1

what tools would we need to identify which students would benefit from this and how would it be enforced?” board member Dr. Lance Love asked.

Brasher said remediation would be voluntary but recommended and would be evaluated at the end of each quarter.

Students needing remediation would spend a week at the end of each quarter working to shorten significant gaps.

Board member Mark Cornett asked what input has been given from the state as it may be a guide for FISD. “A lot of districts have already been doing this and I think it has a lot of potential but the downside is that it would have a quick turnaround,” Brasher said. “We don’t want to rush, but we want to make a decision that our board and community supports.”

“I think normally we know a lot of things, and right now we don’t really know how this is going to play out,” Cornett said.

Concerns were also voiced on how this would impact the special education community and whether or not a year-round schedule would be beneficial.

Alternate platforms for classroom delivery will also be discussed.

The site committee, which includes staff, faculty and parents will meet further before presenting final options to the board to vote on.

“There are a lot of questions, but at the same time, we have to be prepared,” Brasher said.

Summer school With Gov. Greg Abbott’s announcement Monday, FISD will hold summer school, as long as classes have 10 students or less.

This also includes summer school for bilingual students.

“Learning packets will likely be delivered directly to students and over the course of the summer the student would

complete the work before sending it back to the campus for feedback,” Brasher said.

High school students needing credits will likely utilize technology, although no official plans were announced.

Summer school will not be offered at Fredericksburg Middle School, as its additional curriculum will be included in the next school year.

“There are six pages of protocols to follow so we are looking into how that works,” Brasher said.

A state assessment is also available from TEA as a tool for parents to see how their student compared.

“I think this is a good resource to gauge how effective the last nine weeks were,” Kerinne Herber said.

That information can be found online at https://tea. t e x a s .g o v/t e x a s - s c ho ol s/ health-safety-discipline/covid/ covid-19-support-student-assessment.

Board comments Following a story presented

by Austin television station KXAN, two board members had comments about the information presented.

“First, I want to apologize to everyone in this room for the stressed caused by misinformation on KXAN. It’s personally hurting to me that they would outright lie,” said board president Brian Lehne.

“I would never intentionally hurt anyone in this room or in this district.”

Lehne and Love also addressed misinformation presented on Facebook.

“My name was used in a social media post and I am categorically denying anything and everything this individual attributed to me saying,” Love said. “I have never met them, I have never spoken to them and never communicated them electronically or any other

Jaycees make donations to two local organizations Understanding the strain put on the community due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fredericksburg Jaycees have made monetary donations to local organizations.

The Jaycees donated $1,000 to the Hill Country Community Needs Council and $1,000 to the Fredericksburg Food Pantry.

A BEAUTIFUL

“We hope that this will lend a helping hand to the organizations that do so much for the community in these difficult times,” said a spokesman.

The Jaycees have canceled their Crawfish Festival for 2020 due to the coronavirus, and are looking forward to hosting the event in 2021.

TODAY, IT’S EASIER THAN EVER.

way. I couldn’t pick them out of a three-person lineup. I find this personally offensive. I appreciate people contacting us directly.”

Impact on budget Several areas of the FISD budget are taking hits because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“It’s been a moving target,” said Deborah Ottmers, assistant superintendent for business and finance. “Because we didn’t finish school, there are a lot of contracted services and travel that we didn’t have.”

Ottmers expects the net effect on the general fund to be about zero between the ups and downs. The school nutrition fund took the largest hit, losing about $250,000$350,000. Between loss of revenues and into the general fund, FISD will not get about $100,000-$140,000 of indirect costs.

“We thought were going to get some emergency expenses for that (school nutrition), but since it wasn’t mandatory that we provide meals, we were not eligible,” Ottmers said.

FISD also purchased 500 laptop computers for students, which totaled $332,000, which came out of bond funds but could be eligible for CARES Act funding.

“We are hoping those laptops will be paid using those CARES funds because we ordered them during the COVID-19 pandemic,” she said.

Ottmers said that the Billie Kids Day Care will have some loss of funds since kids have not been in attendance for over two months.

“At the end, we hope it’s not that huge of an impact with all the additions and subtractions,” Ottmers said. “We have continued to pay people even though we haven’t been able to come in and do the work they need to do.”

Campus improvements Donnie Finn, assistant superintendent for operations and personnel, presented the board with several updates

for ongoing campus improvements.

Some plans have been put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic while others are pending final bids.

Board members expressed concerns about some projects as other spaces of the school building may have to be used for social distancing learning.

Installing HVAC systems was a top priority to ensure that students could learn comfortably.

District Innovation Plan FISD board members took action to explore affordable healthcare options for district employees.

“We wanted to look into some other healthcare options but since we put this item on the agenda, TRS ActiveCare went down, but we still wanted to provide some affordable options,” Brasher said.

Ottmers said the main goal was to put options into the Innovation plan so when a more affordable option becomes available, it can be implemented more quickly, she said.

The board approved the motion, 7-0.

Graduation Upcoming plans for graduation on Friday, May 29, were discussed Monday evening.

Brasher reminded board members and the community to practice safe social distancing and wear a mask.

Some members were concerned about having 700 people in one area; however, it was reminded that attending the ceremony is optional for students and their two guests.

“There is inherent danger but the reality is the Texas Education Agency has vetted this plan,” Love said.

Boys, Girls Club launches annual fundraising event The Boys & Girls Club of Fredericksburg has launched its annual “Great Futures” campaign, which matches funds.

The club is aiming to raise $101,075.

“The campaign is off to a great start with generous matching fund commitments of $22,700 provided by First United Bank, Arrowhead Bank, Broadway Bank, Hill Country Titles, Inc., Security State Bank & Trust, Turning Basin Service, Inc. and Karl Ransleben,” a spokesman said.

Though the club has been closed in recent weeks, the mission has not changed.

The club continues to empower all young people, especially those who need it

most, to reach their full potential as responsible, caring and productive citizens, the spokesman said.

“Our staff is using this time to conduct ‘virtual club’, using social media to provide programming and to remain a positive influence in the lives of members,” Steve Neale, Fredericksburg branch advisory council member said.

“Staff is also completing online training and developing programming for when the club reopens.”

During this time, the club is continuing to pay staff for hours they are working and staff wages remain the club’s largest expense.

FTA continues registration for Summer Youth Camp Registration continues for the Fredericksburg Theater Academy’s Summer Youth Camp July 20 through Aug. 9.

This year, students will perform in the junior version of the Broadway musical, “Disney’s The Lion King.”

Students from third grade to high school senior are accepted.

Scholarships are available and the class size is limited, so early registration is recommended.

“We are so excited by how much this program has grown,” said Addison Powers, the director of the production. “We believe in teaching kids to express themselves on stage by using their bodies through singing, dancing and portraying a character as believably as possible. They all are wonderful and cannot wait to perform before an au-

dience.”

For the eighth year in a row, the FTA youth production will be part of FTC’s main stage season.

FTC’s Executive Director Steve Reily promises the theater will turn out a stellar production.

“We are excited to have the youth theater as part of our 24th season,” Reily said.

“Audiences can expect to see the same high quality in this production that you see in all of FTC’s shows. We will spare no creative expense. The sets, costumes, lighting and sound will all be of the standard you are accustomed to seeing.”

More information and registration forms can be downloaded from the theater’s website at fredericksburgtheater.org.

Local jeweler closes production facility

Local Business

A longtime jeweler will close its local production facility.

James Avery Artisan Jewelry, based in Kerrville, will permanently close its Fredericksburg manufacturing facility at 108 Industrial Loop, beginning July 12, with 82 employees laid off.

The closure comes as an effect of the global COVID-19 pandemic’s economic toll.

“It’s just unforeseen business circumstances due to the COVID-19 crisis in our country,” said Amy Zink, James Avery’s manager of media and communications relations. “Our stores have been closed since the middle of March, as has our manufacturing, that has had some effects.”

A select number of employees will receive offers to transfer to James Avery’s Kerrville Craftsman Center.

James Avery will also continue to operate production facilities in Hondo and Comfort.

Supporting local, having patience much needed now

S

o … now what? With the governor’s latest announcements to re-open many more businesses and activities, we now face the task of figuring out just how to do that.

In the long weeks that have passed since our economy was shuttered, we probably all indulged in the fantasy that the virus would pass and we could flip over the open sign and everything would be back to normal. We all know that is not the case.

Now what ... indeed.

Last week, we heard from many of our members, representing most every industry sector, through a series of Business Re-Opening Roundtable calls. As you can imagine, different industries face their own unique challenges and we will be working to further engage conversation around those common groups. But several overarching themes surfaced in each call, providing the Chamber with an enhanced ear-to-the-ground to develop more support and resources.

One of the messages we heard loud and clear is that business owners want to get this right.

Keeping their workers and customers safe tops the list of concerns. And I have to brag on the clever solutions they have created — QR codes to eliminate the reuse of restaurant menus, tons of training, rearranging physical layouts, installation of environmental safety barriers and more.

But there is much ambiguity in the standards that have been laid forth that leaves the business owner on their own. Just yesterday, the governor’s top health experts stressed the importance of wearing a mask, yet his orders stop short of requiring customers to do so.

As we return to supporting our local businesses — and we NEED to — I hope we can all exercise greater personal responsibility and patience. If a business asks

Workers who aren’t offered a transfer will receive four to eight weeks’ pay, up to two weeks of accrued unused sick time and continued health insurance for six months.

The closure on the manufacturing side will not affect the facility’s foundry workers.

The company furloughed 2,100 manufacturing, retail and corporate employees and reduced pay for all salaried associates after Gov. Greg Abbott’s order to close all nonessential business activities through April 30.

A few of the company’s 91 total stores have reopened, including James Avery’s Fredericksburg location.

“The safety of our associates and our customers is our No. 1 concern across the board,” Zisk said. “That’s James Avery Artisan Jeweler, based in Kerrville, recently announced the closure of being considered in everything we its manufacturing facility in Fredericksburg. A spokesman said 82 employees will do.” be laid off beginning July 12. — Standard-Radio Post file photo

Standard offers new grants for advertising Dollar-for-dollar match intended to help businesses as they reopen The Fredericksburg StandardRadio Post has established a Community Marketing Grant Program to assist locally owned businesses during the COVID-19 crisis.

Businesses may apply for a dollar-for-dollar advertising and marketing matching grant ranging from $200 to $4,500. The non-cash, matching grants will be awarded in May, June and July.

“The grant is a way for us to continue to support local businesses that employ our neighbors, the same businesses that have been negatively affected by this coronavirus crisis,” Publisher Ken Esten Cooke said. “We have been affected, too. But we are here to assist our businesses and organizations by

helping them restart, rebuild and rebound. This investment will ultimately be an investment in helping the entire community rebound.”

Details and applications may be found online at www.reboundgrants.

com. Upon submitting an application, recipients should learn of their status within two business days.

“The economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak was felt quickly and deeply across our community,”

said Kim Jung, advertising director.

“But we believe in your message and we believe that there has never been a more important time for you to get that message out to the public.”

With businesses and workers hurting, Cooke said he hopes this program will spur a rebound in the economic health of this community and its residents.

“As an entity that has served this market for 113 years, we’ve learned the only way to pull through the hard times is to stand with your partners and customers” Cooke said.

“The Standard-Radio Post is proud to return support to our readers and advertisers who have been our partners for years. We believe the future will be bright after weathering this storm.”

Laughlin Homes named Star Awards finalist

McBRIDE ▶ A/B7

Texas Association of Builders (TAB) has announced that 394 projects have made the finals of the 2020 Star Awards.

This year saw a record 624 entries from 54 cities across the state of Texas.

The out-of-state judges reviewed 187 categories and selected the best in Texas.

Laughlin Homes & Restoration, Inc. was named a finalist in 19 categories, including the grand award of Remodeler of the Year.

“This year’s entries showcased the outstanding work of builders, remodelers, architects, designers, sales professionals, marketing professionals, construction professionals and industry leaders in Texas and surrounding areas,” a spokes-

man said. “With nearly 200 categories to choose from and hundreds of entries each year, it’s impressive to be recognized as a finalist.”

Winners will be revealed on July 16 at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine during the Sunbelt Builders Show.

TAB launched the Star Awards program in 1992, and it remains the only statewide tribute to excellence in the residential homebuilding industry, the spokesman said.

Laughlin Homes & Restoration, Inc. provides design and build services with Laughlin actively participating in all phases of construction.

The company has been building in the Fredericksburg area since 1984 and makes extensive use of architectural artifacts in restorations and new home construction.

Laughlin said that the firm’s creative designs, use of eclectic design concepts, attention to detail and developing a close working relationship with customers helps turn the client’s dreams into a reality.

Moving tourism forward W

ith the Governor’s Report to Open Texas, residents are starting to again move about the city and county.

And Texans are starting to move about the state.

At the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau (FCVB), the staff has been busy studying, researching, listening, disseminating information and working on a strategic plan to move us forward from the historic business lows caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The strategic plan for the visitor industry here has three basic components: response, re-entry and recovery.

FCVB Notes

Re-Entry Phase Be aware anything I write about from here on could change any day with new guidance from the Governor’s Office or a surge of COVID-19 cases locally.

The next phase is re-entry

into the travel market, which we identified as starting June 1. The staff at the FCVB must take into consideration current guidance from the CDC, the local medical community and all governmental agencies.

We also are cognizant of local resident sentiment to keep our town as safe as possible — we live here, too, so we certainly agree on this very important point — and the real need of our local businesses to generate a revenue stream ASAP if they are to survive.

We also have to look at visitor sentiment to travel, which is collected on a national basis and the preparedness of the local hospitality industry to once again host visitors. For example, with local restaurants operating at 50% capacity, it is evident that we cannot at this moment host the same number of visitors as we did pre-COVID-19.

What geographic areas of the state and country have had stay-at-home orders lifted also plays into future marketing decisions. We would not be good stewards of our limited marketing dollars if we were running travel ads in an area where no one is supposed to leave their home other than for essential purposes.

All indications are that the American “drive vacation” will be the first mode of travel to come back in the U.S. And some good news for Fredericksburg and Gillespie County, national research indicates many visitors will be looking for a small town, rural, outdoors or beach vacation this year. OK, three out of four puts our destination in a good place it would seem as we move forward!

For our destination, the reentry phase will be stimulated by the opening of the peach orchard roadside stands to the public which happened this past weekend — always a strong draw for June and July.

Thank you, growers!

No services are planned.

Visitation will be held from Memorials may be made

to Bible Study Fellowship International, Cross Bridge Community Church or the Alzheimer’s Association.

A complete obituary will follow.

Response Phase The response phase began as the pandemic shut down the visitor industry around the globe in mid-March.

The staff has spent the last two months studying the data being collected about the impact of COVID-19 on the travel industry. It is not a pretty picture world-wide.

The FCVB staff has also been busy sharing pertinent information with our local visitor industry partners. And we have spent countless hours updating the bureau’s website to provide local residents and our loyal visitors from across the state and beyond the most current information on travelrelated conditions in our destination.

We have supported our restaurant partners by promoting pickup and curbside orders and our retailers who have an online presence.

In conjunction with the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce, we sent signs to businesses in the downtown historic district to post on doors and windows welcoming customers back, but also encouraging them to please practice social distancing, to wash or sanitize their hands often and to wear masks.

Staff has been working with our counterparts in destinations around the state, building itineraries for drive vacations across Texas.

We have worked to rebook conferences, meetings, wed-

dings, reunions and tours that could not take place when they had been scheduled in April, May and June.

All the while, we have also been structuring a strategic plan to begin to bring back the tourism industry in Fredericksburg and Gillespie County.

During the response phase, the FCVB pulled all digital advertising and slowed down social media postings with the main message being “stay home, stay safe.” We went into what one could call a “silent mode” in terms of visitor marketing. Like most other non-essential operations, the Visitor Information Center was closed to help prevent the spread of the virus.

Our general philosophy has been to let visitors return to our destination “organically” (without call-to-action marketing for the short term) and as determined appropriate by governmental regulations during the response phase.

We started to see this begin to happen this past weekend with increased visitor activity.

It is important to note for our visitor industry partners that a survey last week of local lodging properties indicates overall lodging occupancy on Memorial Day weekend could be near 60%, if the weather is good. Just to put this into some perspective for readers, the weekend of May 8-9 occupancy was 33% for our lodging and on the other end of the spectrum, occupancy on Memorial Day weekend would normally be in the 95% to 100% range.

The response phase in our strategic plan is moving toward an end.

definitely create additional visitor interest.

Recovery Phase What we are calling the recovery phase is currently identified as kicking off in September of this year and continuing into 2021. This is where the FCVB plans to be back up to speed again in terms of marketing efforts for our destination. However, it is important to note that across Texas and the U.S., marketing to international visitors will be dependent on when flights are reinstated by the major international carriers.

Again, this date is based on what visitors are currently saying on a national basis about when most will be ready to travel again. And the fall season is where some of our conference/meeting groups, tour groups, reunions and wedding clients have rescheduled events. Unfortunately, some have had to cancel events in Fredericksburg completely, due to budget restrictions.

Again, what happens in terms of the reopening of businesses in Texas over the next couple of weeks and months, and the hopeful lack of any major additional pandemic outbreaks in our country, will determine whether this is a good date or not for the full recovery phase.

And a bit more good news to end: National research showed that starting on May 1, hotel bookings and airline flight reservations showed some positive movement upward for the first time from the historic lows caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the FCVB, we look forward to gradually improving visitor traffic this summer and a much better fall travel season, based on the projections and data we have right now.

McBRIDE Cont. from A/B6

for us to mask-up, we should respect the commitment they are making to their employees and customers.

For years, we have respected “no shoes, no shirt, no service” without question. They are not making a political statement — they are trying to restore their livelihood, serve valued customers and navigate their way out of a place where no map exists.

Business owners are also trying hard to stay balanced on the capacity tightrope they are walking. While all are grateful for the opportunity to begin generating revenues, their business model isn’t designed to survive at 50%.

Not to mention, how to even figure out what constitutes 50% and how to manage customer flow. With a three-day weekend approaching, some fear demand could outpace capacity.

Workforce concerns also played heavily in our group conversations.

Gillespie County is experiencing historic unemployment with additional lay-offs just announced last week.

Some businesses have been able to maintain their employee count, especially those who qualified for Paycheck Protection Loans. However,

the rules around loan timing forced many business owners to use those funds before they were allowed to reopen, which limits their ability to leverage the resource. Businesses also report workers who question the safety of returning as well as workers wanting to remain on unemployment, which has been increased by $600 per month.

In the weeks and months to come, the Chamber will be working with businesses and community partners to help people get back to work safely. We are continuing to listen to our members’ needs to guide a strategy moving forward.

Again, I ask our residents to do two very important things.

One, spend your money locally. Our businesses want and deserve our support, which will help them rehire workers and support our tax base.

Two, please be patient.

Everyone’s life has been upended and it’s easy to let our emotions lead our actions. Businesses have a lot to figure out without much guidance. Let’s help them in every way we can.

Construction workers have cleared miles of land in Gillespie County to lay pipe. — Standard-Radio Post/Samuel Sutton

Workers dig up ground where they plan to install the Permian Highway Pipeline. Kinder Morgan Vice President Allen Fore expects the pipeline to be in service by the first quarter of 2021.

Cont. from A/B1

Pipeline controversy The PHP has been the source of controversy and legal opposition since its inception. That controversy recently increased due to the discharge of drilling fluids into the Trinity Aquifer by the pipeline’s sponsor Kinder Morgan during the construction of a crossing beneath the Blanco River. This release of drilling fluids has contaminated several water wells for homeowners solely dependent on aquifer groundwater.

“We joined with TESPA to fight this pipeline because the construction was unsafe due to its potential impacts on the aquifer,” David Baker, executive director of the Wimberley Valley Watershed Association, stated in the release. “What happened was unfortunate but predicted.”

TESPA Executive Director Patrick Cox agreed.

“We have been working with our lawyers on various theories to protect our groundwater and springs and rivers that are central to our Hill Country

Local clinic invites complimentary visits Hill Country Integrative Medicine has announced a new, free, 15-minute consultation offer.

“The current COVID-19 pandemic has thrust health to the forefront of our minds, both individually and as a community,” owner Dr. Christa O’Leary said. “We thought this would be a great time to reach out to the community and let those interested take a no obligation to look into what integrative and holistic medicine is about.”

The no-cost nurse practitioner appointment is for informational purposes, no individual diagnostic or specific treatment recommendations will be given.

There is no obligation to become a patient or schedule future appointments.

O’Leary understands choosing a healthcare provider is an important and personal decision.

“This is a great chance for people to see if we are a good fit and on the same page in terms of philosophy, goals and expectations.”

Hill Country Integrative Medicine sees patients of all ages with a variety of health conditions.

“The diversity of our patients is what keeps my job interesting,” O’Leary said. “On one extreme, we have patients with multiple chronic conditions looking for a different approach. The other extreme is having patients in excellent health and who are proactively looking to optimize and maintain their health now and as they age.”

O’Leary states there are many things one can do to strengthen their immune systems.

“Fortifying the individual is our purpose,” she said. “Infectious agents have always been and will continue to be a part of the world we live in. Most people know someone susceptible to germs and others who never seem to get sick.”

The clinic’s focus is to optimize the immune system through personalized assessments of biochemical nutritional pathways and strategies for optimal lifestyle changes.

To schedule the free, 15-minute appointment, call 830-998-0170. For information on COVID-19 from an integrative approach, go to www.ifm.org/covid-19.

Weekly totals During the past week, deputies handled a total of 341 calls and issued 15 citations.

Eleven were arrested by the GCSO and a total of 15 people were booked into jail.

As of Sunday, 56 people were detained.

Community urged to be smart over holiday The University of Southern California (USC) is reporting that alcohol sales have surged since the COVID-19 pandemic began, raising concerns among USC experts and others that the bottoms-up binge could come with a social cost.

As family and friends break free from shelter in place orders and begin to plan their Memorial Day celebration, they encourage everyone to plan while they can and designate a sober ride.

Impairment begins with the first drink.

Texas law enforcement offi-

cers will be out in force during the Memorial Day weekend looking for impaired drivers.

Failing to drive sober immensely increases the chance of being arrested for a DWI. “We want all the citizens of Gillespie County to make it home safely. No one wins when you drink and drive or use impairing drugs and drive,” said Shea Nebgen Texas A&M AgriLife Extension agent for Gillespie County.

Not only could a person become a memory in someone’s life, they could also cost

someone their life, or cause serious, lifelong injuries.

The financial burden of getting a DWI can run as high as $17,000 — not to mention the emotional costs associated with a DWI. Plan ahead by using a nondrinking driver or a taxi/ rideshare service to get home safely.

If that is not an option, sleep at a friend’s house.

Planning ahead can make Memorial Day a memorable weekend — while not planning ahead might turn it into a nightmare.

Deadline approaching for SBA loans Small nonfarm businesses in 77 Texas counties are being reminded of the June 15 deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for economic injury, it has been announced

by Director Tanya N. Garfield of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West.

These low interest loans are to offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by drought in the following primary counties that began Oct. 1, 2019.

Primary counties include Anderson, Atascosa, Bastrop, Brown, Burleson, Caldwell, Ellis, Freestone, Gonzales, Henderson, Hill, Johnson, Kimble, Lee, Llano, Mason, McCulloch, McLennan, Menard, Navarro, Sutton, Travis, Val Verde, Washington and Wilson; In addition to Gillespie, other neighboring counties include Austin, Bell, Bexar, Blanco, Bosque, Brazos, Burnet, Callahan, Cherokee, Coleman, Comanche, Concho, Coryell, Crockett, Dallas, DeWitt, Eastland, Edwards, Falls, Fayette, Frio, Grimes, Guadalupe, Hays, Hood, Houston, Karnes, Kaufman, Kerr, Kinney, La Salle, Lavaca, Leon, Limestone, Live Oak,

McMullen, Medina, Milam, Mills, Parker, Robertson, San Saba, Schleicher, Smith, Somervell, Tarrant, Terrell, Tom Green, Van Zandt, Waller and Williamson.

According to Garfield, small nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million.

“SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster.

Economic injury assistance is available regardless of whether the applicant suffered any property damage,” Garfield said.

The interest rate is 4% for businesses and 2.75% for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years.

Loan amounts and terms are set by SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition.

By law, SBA makes Economic Injury Disaster Loans available when the U.S. Secretary

of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster.

The Secretary declared this disaster on Oct. 15, 2019.

Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance.

Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency about the U.S. Department of Agriculture assistance made available by the secretary’s declaration.

However, in drought disasters, nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance.

Applicants may apply online, receive additional disaster assistance information and download applications at https://disasterloanassistance.sba.gov/.

Applicants may also call SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance.

Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call (800) 877-8339.

Completed applications should be mailed to U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

FHS Class of 2020 donates trip money to Food Pantry

By Jessica Stuewe

For the Fredericksburg High School Class of 2020, many of the plans they had leading up to graduation changed when they did not return to classes after Spring Break due to COVID-19.

One of those plans was the yearly senior trip, where funds had been raised, for the class to spend one last fun day together.

The senior class officers made the decision to donate the senior trip money of

$10,850 to the Fredericksburg Food Pantry.

“We wanted to keep it local,” senior class vice president Amy Dittmar said. “The Food Pantry can do a lot with the money that you give them. They can turn your $5 into much more because of the deals that they have with grocery stores.”

Dittmar and the other class officers, Caitie Huff, Noah Downey, Sydney Holster, Emilia Smajstrla, Ryan Davis and Chad Braden, felt that giving back to the community in its time of need was the best

decision with what to do with the money they earned for the senior trip.

“I’m just glad that our money will go to making people smile and easing the hardships people are facing right now,” Dittmar said. “Even though we cannot have our senior trip, it’s going to a good cause, and that makes me feel good.”

According to Huff, who is the class co-president, the senior class raised a little over $11,000 for their senior trip for every senior class member to go to Six Flags.

Engravers donated a big check for them to hand over to the food pantry.

“We raised that money through working concession stands and selling programs, and our biggest fundraiser was prom last year,” Huff said.

“Since we don’t get to have our senior trip this year, we had all this money, and we wondered, ‘What could we do with it?’”

The seniors could have donated the money for an item to the school like a park bench or purchased a keepsake item for each senior, but they felt that

was not useful to the times that we are in right now.

“I had the idea that we could donate the money to a charity or organization in the name of our class, and everyone was on board with that,” Huff said.

“Amy Dittmar had the idea to donate it to the Food Pantry, and I think the Food Pantry is a great option right now during the pandemic. We wanted the money to be used in a beneficial way in our community.”

According to Merrilyn Hartmann, secretary of the Fredericksburg Food Pantry Board,

the money will only be used for food.

It will come in the front door, and it will go out the back door to clients.

“I am astounded with what they have done,” Hartmann said. “It is disappointing that they could not go on their school trip, but what a wonderful way for them to redirect that money in an unselfish and giving way in thinking about the community. That is just heartwarming.”

“Thank you to this awesome Class of 2020,” she said.

outstanding business leaders.”

The governor said numbers of cases — “a meaningful outbreak” — and concerns about hospital capacity are what would cause him to hit the brakes in regard to reopening. He said currently, there are plenty of hospital beds available and he would act quickly if case surges were to occur.

Summer school sessions may open on June 1, so long as they follow safe-distancing practices, he said. (See more in the Fredericksburg Independent School District Board of Trustees meeting

Reopening stages On Friday, May 8, the governor announced openings for barber shops, hair and nail salons and tanning salons.

On Monday, May 18, the state allowed re-opening for gyms, manufacturers and office-based employees, all with certain conditions.

Also slated for opening to-

day were child care centers, youth clubs and youth sports facilities, and massage and personal care facilities.

On Friday, May 22, bars and tasting rooms may open at 25%, and restaurants may increase to 50% capacity around the state.

Also set for opening on Friday, May 22 are rodeos and equestrian events, bowling alleys, bingo halls, skating rinks, zoos, aquariums and natural cavern attractions.

The governor also said that beginning May 31, just in time for summer season, overnight and day camps may resume operation, as may

professional sports without in-person spectators.

On Tuesday, Abbott also touted increased testing, particularly at nursing homes (see related story) and meatpacking plants, two places considered “hot spots” in some areas around the state.

He also pointed out the positivity rate for COVID-19 testing, saying it has dropped below 5% in recent days, after having hovered around 13% when testing began to increase around mid-April.

“COVID-19 still exists in Texas. Our goal is to find ways to co-exist with it as safely as possible,” he said.

Park Pool’s opening day set June 15 Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the City of Fredericksburg will delay the opening of Park Pool to June 15.

The pool, located at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park, is tentatively planned to operate at regular hours — 1-6:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Mondays — depending on the amount of lifeguards, said Andrea Schmidt, Director of Parks and Recreation.

Pools can open at 25% capacity, Schmidt said. This is subject to change if Gov. Greg Abbott’s orders change.

Town Pool will remain closed due to the lack of lifeguards.

Schmidt said lifeguard classes could begin at the end of May.

HHSC announces more than $1 billion in pandemic food benefits for Texans Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has received approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide more than $1 billion in food benefits through the federal Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program to families with children who have temporarily lost access to free or discounted school meals due to COVID-19-related school closures, it has been announced by Gov. Greg Abbott.

P-EBT provides a one-time benefit of $285 per child, which can be used in the same way as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits to pay for groceries.

P-EBT will be administered through a coordinated effort by the HHSC, the Texas Department of Agriculture, and the Texas Education Agency.

“I thank the U.S. Department of Agriculture for providing these emergency benefits to Texas families, and for the swift action of our state agencies to administer these benefits across the state,” Abbott said. “This program will expand access to healthy and nutritious food for families and children in need as the state continues to respond to COVID-19.”

“Families across our state have had to rapidly adjust

to the impacts of this pandemic and we’re thankful to our many state and federal partners who were able to work together for our fellow Texans,” said HHS Executive Commissioner Phil Wilson.

“These emergency benefits will provide additional assistance to those families on free and reduced-price meal plans, giving greater access to nutritious food for children most in need.”

“Despite this crisis, the one thing that never changes is that children need to eat,” said Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller. “And the Texas Department of Agriculture has been working hard with our federal, state and community partners to make sure no child goes hungry because of this pandemic.

“Not only will these benefits give these kids and their families a little help with the food bill, I hope it gives them a little hope in a dark time.”

More than three million children in Texas are certified to receive free or reducedprice meals at school during the 2019-2020 school year.

Households with school children who received SNAP food benefits for the month of March or were recipients of free or reduced-price meals at school before the statewide school closure are eligible for P-EBT benefits.

Families who were certified for the free or reducedprice school meals program after in-person instruction at schools ended due to COVID-19 are also eligible to receive the benefit.

Families with children aged 5 to 18 who received SNAP food benefits for the month of March, when school campuses first closed, will automatically receive P-EBT on their current Lone Star Card

by May 22.

Families who have children certified for free or reducedprice meals during the 201920 school year but did not receive SNAP benefits for the month of March will need to apply.

Families with children who received meals at no cost to them because their schools are defined as Community Eligibility Provision or Provision II schools also need to apply.

Those families will receive a notification from their school district by May 31 which will include eligibility information and how to access the application.

Workforce Solutions Alamo launching online tutorials As part of Workforce Solutions Alamo’s strategy to improve accessibility for job seekers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency has developed step-by-step tutorial videos to help applicants navigate the Texas Workforce Commission’s online services.

Created in partnership with the City of San Antonio, the goal of these tutorial videos is to help recently laid-off workers understand what information they need, how to access each service and what to expect when applying.

Users are provided information on how to create user IDs, navigate the unemployment benefits webpage and online application form and a reference guide to information they will be required to submit when filling out online forms.

The videos also show users how to use the virtual

assistant, “Larry the Chat Bot,” to help answer the most common questions on the unemployment insurance process.

Spanish translations of the unemployment benefits and WorkInTexas.com video tutorials are currently being developed.

WorkInTexas.com is a comprehensive online job search resource and matching system developed and maintained by TWC. It provides recruiting assistance to all Texas employers and support to individuals seeking employment opportunities within the state.

Job postings are updated in real-time as employment opportunities become available.

Job seekers can search for employment opportunities, access resources to build resumes, educational resources and other services.

Workers recently laid off

due to COVID-19 may access the Texas Workforce Commission’s unemployment benefits webpage by visiting ui.texasworkforce.org.

Additionally, WSA encourages job seekers to access their services remotely via telephone and through their website.

Job seekers needing to speak with a Workforce Solutions Alamo representative can call (210) 224-HELP (4357).

WSA has received over 20,000 calls to their hotline thus far in April. Approximately 95% of all calls received are for help with the process to file unemployment insurance.

Job seekers can also access WSA’s Jobs Now page at workforcesolutionsalamo. org/jobsnow and for other community, job seeker and employer resources at workforcesolutionsalamo.org.

The ceremony for graduates of the 25th class since the school’s beginning began with a video of photos and music of the graduates through their childhood years.

It continued with a taped Zoom conference call, a now-recognized brand of the coronavirus era, of the nine mortar-hatted graduates reflecting on their time at the school.

Feel short-changed?

Lots more life ahead Graduates miss a big milestone, but there will be many more for talented class

I

t won’t be the same. But that’s OK. Graduation will still be held, but mostly with classmates and two (hopefully masked) family members. It will likely consist of parents and no crazy cousins or proud uncles hollering, holding signs and bringing bouquets.

But that’s OK. This class of 2020 graduates from Fredericksburg High School, Harper, Heritage and Ambleside will be remembered as those who had the second half of their senior year robbed from them.

And yes, missing traditional graduation is kind of a rotten cherry on top, especially after having to stay cooped up at home and do a real-time conversion to computer-only learning.

Senior athletes were especially robbed, considering some of our local youth had a great chance to grab medals at various state events or at least make a run far into the team playoffs. To be robbed of these “last sprint” spring sport triumphs or defeats during one’s senior year is not fair.

But in a strange way, missing these traditional life milestones may be a learning experience. Life will have its share of disappointments. And for sure, if missing

the large family and friends gathering at the stadium is your biggest disappointment, you will have a blessed existence.

There will be relationship breakups, possible auto accidents, health issues or scares, financial challenges, deaths of loved ones and more on the bumpy road of life ahead.

So, keep your chins up and realize the best is yet to come in life. The world has its challenges waiting for you, but the opportunities are seemingly endless with the advancements in technology, communication, medicine, transportation, energy and more, all of which are either experiencing or on the precipice of grand change.

Your generation will be the ones to harness these advancements and change the world in needed ways.

This virus has forced us to examine most everything in our lives, from how we work, to how we educate ourselves, to how we worship and even what we value.

The small things we take for granted might now have an extra shine to them, such as hanging out with friends or traveling to another town to shop or eat or just visit.

Go forth and conquer and don’t let this disappointment define your life’s achievements. This life is still full of blessings and opportunities.

We wish the Class of 2020 the very best. – K.E.C.

Reopening on a wing and a prayer P

erhaps the most unnerving thing about this unseen COVID-19 virus that has upended life, is just how little we know about it. We can’t see it and those who carry it may be infected yet not show signs for days, potentially spreading it to those they come in contact with.

It goes without saying that we should continue practicing social distancing, wearing masks and sanitizing our hands and well-used surfaces frequently. Those practices have helped keep this virus in check in Texas and avoided the totally delibitating situations seen in New York and other hot spots where people live more closely to one another.

That said, it would behoove us to ease back into this reopening, especially in bars and other social places. Even with the social distancing and capacity

requirements in place, alcohol tends to loosen the rules for many.

And there is nothing wrong with having a good time. Certainly, Fredericksburg is renowned for its spirit of Gemutlichkeit and has been for some time. Yet the spirit of that German welcoming and neighborliness has rarely had to compete with a global pandemic that knows no boundaries, personal or of one’s patria.

As many have said, customers will gravitate these days to where they feel safe and protected and like owners and staff of establishments are doing their best to keep them healthy.

It’s a good thing to remember in thiscautious first month of reopening as we watch our virus infection count and, hopefully, get our economy moving again simultaneously. — K.E.C.

Technology, virus mean challenges to higher ed

I

n September 1988, President Ronald Reagan stepped onto the grounds of a small, liberal arts college in Hastings, Nebraska.

Reagan helped open a brand-new, state-of-the-art communication arts facility, with a computer lab and a control board to run a college radio station.

In his speech, Reagan said he hoped the students who came to the Gray Center at Hastings College served as a “window on the world … in a day where we’ve seen an explosion of communications technology” (and this was the 1980s). Reagan said the students will “carry (those skills) with them when they leave, to ply their skills elsewhere in a profession that at times does not seem to appreciate the simpler virtues.”

In 2012, I stepped onto that same college campus to begin earning degrees in broadcasting and journalism. During my time, I wrote stories for the campus paper, produced and filmed stories for a weekly newscast, live streamed hundreds of sports games and took photos of all kinds.

I jumped in feet-first. I wanted to take every opportunity and hope that four years later, I would be able to market myself. Leaving, I never thought I would work for a newspaper but I am grateful for receiving an education that allowed me to have more than one skill. Today, I am especially grateful for the opportunity to write and present the public with accurate information.

The year I graduated, the school lost one of its most tenured professors, Sharon Brooks, and it was decided the journalism program would be cut. School leadership saw a need for “new media.” After all, what twenty-something would want to go into print media?

Now in 2020, Hastings College, my alma mater, is seeing significant cuts to its programs, including broadcasting and communication arts. Two other professors and mentors have since decided it was time to move on. Both had been a

Mile High Thoughts McKenzie Moellering

part of the Hastings community for more than 25 years, as students and professors.

All three of these professors brought new opportunities to the college, including streaming the NAIA women’s basketball tournament. All three are still to this day close mentors. Sharon reads content posted on the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post website and always provides thoughtful feedback. Another recently helped brainstorm ideas on how we could bring livestreaming to our subscribers. And the third has constantly challenged me to think of all angles of a story, and not leaving anything out.

In an ever-changing time, mainly because of the coronavirus, small colleges like Hastings are seeing enrollment and revenue plummet.

Students are attending larger universities with more degree programs. Some are choosing to enter the workforce and others have entered trades.

When I reached out to Sharon about the uncertainty of small colleges, she said Hastings was trimming and strengthening. “Hastings has found ways to define higher education in the past and I think it will continue to do that,” she said.

A story published by Forbes talked about how HardinSimmons University in Abilene was foreshadowing what could happen to higher education at smaller institutions.

That Abilene school has seen leadership changes, as has Hastings. That new leadership attempts to take over a financially struggling institution. They try to raise their profile, attract more students with new academic learning programs or new facilities.

The Forbes article stated, “Financial woes pre-date the pandemic and result in drastic

cuts that go to the very core of an institution’s educational mission. Some of these cuts are sad but necessary. Others are the result of poor judgement. And COVID-19 makes the stakes higher than ever.”

Signature degree programs lack participation. Professors who helped implement the programs retire or move on as programs are cut or changed.

Some institutions have benefited from the CARES Act, hoping to use funds to attracts students and help keep existing students enrolled.

Now, with the effects of the coronavirus looming, faculty and staff are taking significant pay cuts. Some institutions have adjusted their endowments to a more conservative profile but for others, it’s too late. More cuts and changes are coming and faculty and staff have to rely on decisions made by everchanging leadership.

For alumni like myself, it’s hard to see these closures or changes. These are the reasons why students are attracted to small schools. I wanted to have as many opportunities and learn as much as I could. It’s hard to think that at some time down the road, the school may cease to exist.

With two degree programs gone, how can future employers put a face to the name? If the school closes, it sure won’t stand out on a resume.

Sharon reminded me that the existing programs at Hastings weren’t born out of journalism curriculum but students’ desire to bring something new to the campus.

Today more than ever, we are finding new ways to get creative and finding new ways to connect.

And while Reagan could have never predicted the explosion of communication technology in 1988, let alone in 2020, I hope that future students will get the chance to take advantage of the opportunities presented at smaller institutions, developing wellrounded skills and lasting friendships. mckenzie@fredericksburgstandard.

Texas bolsters efforts to reduce spread AUSTIN — Testing, sanitizing and emergency food benefits increased as Texas entered its third month of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Notably, Gov. Greg Abbott released a statement concerning an outbreak of the deadly coronavirus in Amarillo, where more than 700 cases were reported on May 16.

The report came after the governor’s Surge Response Teams conducted site surveys and testing in high-risk areas, including meat-packing facilities in the Amarillo area. Two more weeks of testing would be conducted in high-risk areas, Abbott said.

On COVID-19, context is critical “S he was driving 55 miles per hour.” “He lied.” Without context, you cannot evaluate the significance of these statements of fact. Was she in a school zone (too fast), on I-10 heading toward El Paso (too slow), or on Highway 16 just south of Friendship Lane (just right)? Was he lying under oath to a judge (illegal), telling a fishing tale to a buddy (not illegal), or a soldier resisting interrogation by an enemy (heroic)?

Context is critical to deciphering what facts mean. The media constantly reports how many people die after being infected with the coronavirus.

The overall numbers appear staggering, and my heart goes out to everyone who became ill or lost a loved one. But to make sense of these numbers, we need some context.

How has the virus changed the total number of Americans who die every day? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website (www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/ deaths.htm) reports 2,813,503 Americans died in 2017 (the

last year for which statistics are reported). That is a daily average of 7,708 deaths. Most succumbed to the underlying co-morbidities reported in victims of the virus: heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, strokes, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, etc.

I wondered whether the deaths attributed to those diagnosed with the virus increased the overall total anticipated deaths, whether the numbers stayed relatively flat (because they were moving a death from the column for strokes to that for the virus), or whether they decreased (stayat-home orders reduced car fatalities, murders, and deaths due to medical error).

Turns out, the CDC also has a website with that information. The National Center for Health Statistics detailed the total reported deaths across

the country (and state by state) for the 90 days from 1 February through 2 May. The anticipated total deaths (based on how many died during the same period in 2017, 2018 and 2019) was 787,181. The NCHS site reported only 98% of the anticipated deaths occurred — which means that WITH the reported coronavirus deaths, there were nearly 16,000 fewer deaths than the average of that same period in previous three years without the virus.

The information reported to CDC/NCHS is incomplete, and additional deaths will be reported over time. But it is clear that the 47,128 deaths of those reported to the CDC/ NCHS as having died after being diagnosed with the virus did not cause a net increase of 47,000 deaths.

The CDC/NCHS website was updated to include information from 1 February through 9 May (https://www.cdc.gov/ nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index. htm). The total number of reported deaths during that 13-week period (857,948) was 101% of what was anticipated.

The 60,299 individuals report-

ed as dying after being diagnosed with the virus increased the total deaths by 1%. Texas did even better than the nation as a whole — with 96% of anticipated total deaths during that period.

This virus is deadly, and everyone should take reasonable precautions, just as you do for other risks in daily life.

Do what your mom told you to do. Eat healthy. Exercise regularly. Look both ways before crossing the street. Wear your seatbelt when driving. Wash your hands thoroughly. Wear a mask in public. Avoid people who are sick.

But the next time you hear a number, be sure to ask yourself the context in which that number should be considered (and why the media didn’t provide you that context in the first place).

Hammersen grew up in El Paso and first came to Fredericksburg in 1974, when he helped his parents move here. After more than 50 years of service in the Army and Department of Defense, he retired and relocated to Fredericksburg in January 2019.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

‘Disrespectful’ My husband and I have lived in Fredericksburg for 43 years. I and other dedicated individuals helped start our EMS service. I taught medics in Gillespie County and surrounding areas for 20 years, and volunteered for the service. I am aware of what epidemics and pandemics can do, and how many lives can be taken.

Last Sunday, as we drove down Main Street, I was shocked and disgusted to see tourists and locals standing in bunches, not observing social distancing, and not wearing masks. Come on, people!

I have heard many excuses for not wearing a mask: It violates my civil rights: Your civil rights do not include infecting and possibly killing those around you.

I feel fine, so I don’t have to wear one: Coronavirus patients can show no symptoms, yet be infectious. If you are infected, your germs are a lethal weapon.

I have been tested and am negative: You were negative that day, but may have been infected afterward.

I don’t sew, so I can’t make one: You can make a face covering out of any scrap of material and a pair of scissors. No sewing machine needed.

Face coverings and homemade masks are not 100% protection for the wearer.

They are worn to protect those around the wearer from airborne droplets generated from coughing, sneezing and talking. Failing to wear one in public is a sign of disrespect for those around you.

Social distancing, wearing a mask, good personal hygiene and hand washing are the only things we can do to help stop the virus from spreading.

There is absolutely no excuse for not wearing a mask and not maintaining social distancing!

I fear we are in for a large increase in coronavirus cases.

Too many are showing no regard for others with their disrespectful behavior.

LETTERS — Email letters to fbgnews@fredericksburgstandard.com, deliver to 712 W. Main St., or mail to P.O. Box 1639, Fredericksburg, TX 78624. Deadline to submit letters is noon Mondays and letters may be held and/or edited due to space considerations.

1) Yes, it is a nasty germ, but hand washing was not invented in 2020. I’m pretty sure the Apostles washed their hands after making mud pies as young boys. Hand washing is not an Olympic sport yet and most folks take to it year-round not just during flu season!

2) Social distancing which should cause your yardstick stock to soar is nothing more than being polite at all times. I don’t want your foot caught in my purse strap at the grocery store ever, even when there is no flu in sight!

3) It’s been common sense and a given that old folks and those with health problems be careful during any flu season, but I’ve never recommended my grandparents get under the bed. (Dust bunny virus might just be the next pandemic.)

4) Suing a proprietor if you get sick after a day doing your errands has never been a choice and is an absurd thought. Any attorney who considers such a case is one who helps gives the group a bad name.

5) Heretofore unknown government officials who are channeling their “inner Napoleon” trying to wield unlawful power should be led out to pasture.

So, let’s get back to using common sense that’s been available free of charge forever and enjoy the days and nights of our lives.

Sara B. Barnard Fredericksburg

Athos decision Kinder Morgan, Inc./ Permian Highway Pipeline (KMI/PHP) has “seized” easements from Fredericksburg and Gillespie County property owners, and is attempting to hold their seized easements despite legal actions by multiple entities, including attorneys for landowners, the Sierra Club, and others in Kyle, Blanco and Wimberly (and on and on).

One would have to have been down in a hobbit hole for the past year to not recognize how a decision to allow Fredericksburg police vehicles to cruise KMI/PHP activities will be strongly met with opposition by we who have lawfully filed, and will continue to file, legal challenges to the “taking” desired by KMI/ PHP. Athos Group can go around looking for “people coming in and getting on somebody’s land and doing damage” without our city vehicles in effect advertising an endorsement by the city and its constituents.

The only damage being done here is being done by the pipeliners!

Athos does not need your police vehicles. They primarily want to be able to holler, “See, the City of Fredericksburg is supporting us!”, and WE ARE NOT. I believe it is lame to suggest that officers need their City of Fredericksburg police vehicle so you can have FPD control over their activities. That is a reach! I do not care how many pieces of silver that KMI/PHP tosses at

your feet for reimbursement.

This activity is a contentious act by Fredericksburg Police Department and the City of Fredericksburg.

Please promptly reconsider using our police units to cruise and assist KMI/PHP. Priscilla Parker, RN Fredericksburg

Thoughtful soul A kind deed done by an anonymous person for my benefit reminded me of the kind of world we could have if we chose.

Last Monday, I parked my truck in the lot at the Perry Feller building for a doctor visit. I had to be immediately admitted to the hospital for an overnight stay, so my truck sat in the lot with the driver’s side window rolled down about halfway.

The next day there were periods of strong winds and rain.

When I was discharged early that evening, my truck was the only one in the lot. To my delight, someone had manipulated a thick piece of cardboard to fit my window to minimize the rain getting inside earlier in the day.

Thank you to the thoughtful soul who decided that day to bless me with a simple action that reminded me of a significant lesson.

We have all been given the power to bless or curse by our actions and words. May more of us choose the former as a routine.

As Texas businesses slowly reopen their doors amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar is reminding families and businesses that they can save on the purchase of certain water- and energy-efficient products during the state’s Water-Efficient Products and Energy Star sales tax holidays.

The holidays, created by the Texas Legislature, take place Saturday through Monday, May 23-25.

“Inefficient appliances and outdated water systems put a tremendous strain on our power grids and water supplies,” Hegar said. “Even in these uncertain times, Texans can take advantage of this sales tax holiday to buy more energy-efficient items, support local businesses and save money.”

He said, “You can practice social distancing and other precautionary measures when shopping in person or shop online. Qualifying products are tax free.”

Products displaying a WaterSense label or logo can be purchased tax free for personal or business use.

These include showerheads, bathroom sink faucets

and accessories, toilets, urinals and landscape irrigation controls.

The sales tax holiday also applies to lawn and garden products that help conserve water outdoors. Items qualifying for the exemption include soaker or drip-irrigation hoses; moisture controls for sprinkler or irrigation systems; mulch; and plants, trees and grasses.

These items can be purchased tax free for residential use only.

There’s no limit to the number of water-efficient or water-conserving products individuals can purchase tax free.

For more information on the Water-Efficient Products Sales Tax Holiday, visit the comptroller’s website.

During the Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday, certain energy-efficient products displaying the Energy Star logo can be purchased tax free, including air conditioners priced at $6,000 or less, refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less, ceiling fans, fluorescent light bulbs, dishwashers, dehumidifiers and clothes washing machines.

Karl White

March 30, 1979 - May 13, 2020 Karl White, 41, passed away on Wednesday, May 13, 2020 in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Karl was born on March 30, 1979 in Plano, Texas to Philip and Carol Ann (DeGraw) White.

He grew up and attended school in Saudi Arabia from 1982-1992 where his father worked for an oil company.

Karl was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at the age of six. His family returned home to the United States in 1992.

Karl loved to travel. When he was 7 years old, he basically followed Halley’s Comet around the world, from New Zealand and Australia to Hawaii.

Karl had many interests and hobbies until the disease prevented him from participating in them. His interests included art, space, piano, music, Jacques Cousteau, whales, Legos, science, and Star Trek.

However, even after the disease stopped him from participating in these hobbies, his love for music and science continued to grow because he could still enjoy them without actively participating in them.

Karl was compassionate and loved animals, especially his cats. They brought him company and comfort. He had a great sense of humor and that is what will be missed most about him.

Karl is survived by his parents, Philip and Carol Ann White; Aunt Barbara DeCarolis and Uncle John DeCarolis, of Missouri; Aunt Janice Jones of New Jersey; Uncle David E. White of Texas, and 15 cousins from Missouri, New Jersey, and Texas.

He was pre-deceased by Grandparents - William DeGraw Jr. (New Jersey), Mabel DeGraw (Missouri) and Grandparents - David and Ethel White (Texas).

There will be no viewing or service due to COVID-19.

If you would like to make a donation, please donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Karl White’s name.

School year made ‘beautiful’ even with major setbacks

By Hannah Bray Heritage Valedictorian

I

t is no secret that this year has not gone the way the class of 2020, or anyone, could have ever imagined. I personally had several expectations — expectations about what I would wear to formal, the games we would play at spring fling, how I would defend a thesis, and of course, I had expectations about graduation. All of these expectations produced what I thought would be the best version of senior year.

As COVID-19 hit and any plans or expectations we had for the rest of our senior year were obliterated, I remember feeling robbed, discouraged, and as if there was nothing I could do with any true meaning while being forced to quarantine.

As I lay in my bed one night wallowing in these self-pitying thoughts, I reached for my Bible hoping to use this time to do at least one productive thing. The Lord knew exactly what I needed to hear in that time, and I opened my Bible right to Ecclesiastes 3.

This passage talks about how there is a time for everything under the sun. Verse 5 specifically stood out to me saying, “there is a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.”

The chapter goes on to say that God has made everything beautiful in its time, and that was when I realized that in this time we have literally been called to refrain from embracing, we can clearly see all of

the beautiful things that have happened in their time prior to — and even during — this pandemic.

As this idea hit me, I was instantly reminded of the many things that made my high school experience beautiful, especially the things that made this year beautiful, despite the major setback along the way.

I realized that everything was made beautiful because of the beautiful people I had the pleasure of being in high school with, and I want to thank each of you individually for the impact you had on my life.

I had some of the most talented freshmen to inspire, entertain, and take care of me this year.

Kate and Caroline Abel — my insanely beautiful and talented freshman munchkins, who were always helping me and I could always count on as Campo dinner dates.

Madison Brantley — the best concussion headband buddy (even though I’m still irritated that it actually looked good on you).

Andrew Chapa — your java drinks were the best study motivators and seeing you always brought joy into our stressful finals cram sessions.

Brookie Chastain — Thank you for always making me feel 100x cooler by being the only one to laugh at my jokes, and I will miss those nights dropping you off and getting stuck in your driveway.

William Burnett — I could not have made it through clay class without you or your watch to tell me when to clean up all of my messes.

Alex Ludwig and Gage Nelson — thank you guys for spending so much time pretending to be girls for our basketball practices. Y’all went above and beyond to help us out and I wouldn’t want anyone

Bray else to block every single one of my shots.

Jake Roberts — my campfire and clay buddy, who never failed to put a smile on my face.

Joshua Tabor — the only person I know who can successfully leave Elias Christensen speechless … we all thank you for that!!

My sophomores. You guys brought me so much laughter and joy this year. From sitting in your Spanish classes, to having at least three of you at my house constantly, I will miss each and every one of you.

Caden Bray — my best bud.

These past two years in high school with you have given me the opportunity to watch you grow immensely. Not just from a little squirt to complete stud that is two feet taller than me, but into a determined and thoughtful man that I couldn’t be prouder of.

Lilah Brillhart — no one will ever be able to rock hoops the way you do, and I hope I can still hear you cheering on our teams all the way in College Station.

Isabella Bourtin — the greatest addition to the House of Washington with the most welcoming smile and cheerful spirit.

Steven Evans — always making everyone laugh with your humor and Scottish accents.

Erin Fritzsch — boy am I gonna

miss your volleyball pep talks. No one else could have convinced all of us to jump off of that pole at the ropes course. Keep Caden and John out of trouble for me.

John Fritzsch and Aidan Hickey — you guys have been the best big little brothers and I will miss all of our great talks in my kitchen after football games, and even the times you steal my keys or make fun of my driving.

Jack Henderson — you made my day each time you would see me in the hall and give me the biggest smile and hug.

Rory Shelton — thank you for not making me suffer through those terrible long-distance track workouts or the 800 alone.

ANNNND Reece Thompson — who is always there to step up and help.

To the most fun junior class, who have made sure that each of us seniors feel loved and celebrated during this difficult time.

Katie Chastain — your incredible talents and determination as well as your tender spirit have always inspired me, and I cannot wait to see how you will literally save the world.

Wes Burnett — walking by Mrs. Hierholzer’s class to hear your Moby Dick Ahab accent always brought a smile to my face and brightened my day.

Josie Fevig — our van rides to basketball games and movie night hangs were truly the highlight of my year. It’s too bad the world never got to see “egg” or the dynamic powderpuff duo in action…

Josh Hoermann — the greatest pretzel partner and friend these past few years. You’ve been there through all of the Local Missions talks and freak out moments, and I cannot thank you enough for the rock you have been for me.

Livy Jons — I looked forward to our bachelor ice cream nights and smoothie dates more than anything else during the week. You will forever be the best neighbor, hiking buddy, and friend I could have had these last few years.

Faith Lindner — the sweetest, most stylish gal who has a smile and encouraging word for anyone

she meets.

Olivia Loggie — one of the kindest, most thoughtful souls I have had the pleasure of knowing.

You never failed to ask me how I was feeling, even when you were in 10x the amount of pain. I will miss all of our chats at the scoreboard table watching practices.

Riley Nix — my birthday buddy who always has the best chapel art creations.

Sam Richburg — the best Fritztown coworker who automatically makes anything you do 10x more fun and never fails to put a smile on my face even on the worst days.

Finn Sawtelle — the greatest Luckenbach dance partner and best person to run into on a bike ride.

And finally, my Heritage family for the last 13 years. The class of 2020.

Celia Ashley — my future maid of honor, the one who has been with me through everything, who is always there to listen to my many stories and give me the best advice. New York has no idea what’s coming, but after Celia Ashley arrives, it will never be the same.

Mason Barnett — one of the strongest people I know. Mason, no matter what you were faced with, you never complained or used your circumstances as an excuse. I will miss all of our many track memories and great conversations sitting on Mrs. Pressler’s tables.

Elias Christensen — the only person I would ever go into business with. Your amazing playlists made off-campus lunch some of our favorite times this year, and I am so thankful that you’re stuck with me for another four years.

And I’m so glad we have always gone back to get you out of Bass Pro Shops, parking lots, or caves that you get lost in.

Sam Cowsar — who is always there to lend a helping hand (or pretzel) to anyone who needs it.

Sam, you always talk about how great of an impact we had on you,

but I want you to know that you did the same for our class.

Noah Given — who I can always count on to listen, or to make me laugh harder than anyone else. Noah, you made Zoom classes, and regular class some of the most my enjoyable times and memories of Heritage. I truly do not know what I would do without you next year. Glad we can finally upgrade our study spot from the trailer …

Kaitlyn Evans — with the sweetest smile and neatest notes you will ever see. Kaitlyn I will miss all of our laughs, fun on the back row during volleyball, and talks around the fire.

Daniel Sauer — the sweetest, most patient friend, the only one who would give me back my pens after hiding them. Daniel, thank you for trying your hardest to not shake the table, and helping me lead Washington to victory over Da Vinci for the first time. You were the glue that held our class together, and I know you are going to do great things up in Colorado.

And last but certainly not least…

Luke Roberts — Lukey, we did it!! We survived 13 years!! Watching your hair change from straight to curly has been by far the greatest transformation to happen in our class. I’m so glad my science table buddy is sticking with me for another four years!!

Knowing that my time with all of you was cut short, has saddened my heart. But you all continued to love and pour into me while we have been apart. You each showed me that just as Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “the Lord has made everything beautiful in its time.”

Thank you all for teaching me this invaluable truth. These past few years have truly been beautiful, and it is because of you.

Thank you.

Time to Spruce Up for Spring!

Despite challenges, class is ‘blessed’

A

ll of our lives we have been looking forward to our senior year and graduation. But recent events have made our graduation more of a challenge.

However, just because the later quarter of our senior year was different than most does not mean that we have missed out.

We could look at the events surrounding the last quarter of our senior year and feel depressed. But we are not complaining, and there is one major reason why.

While all of these cancelations are a major disappointment, all of the troubles we have endured have actually given evidence to how truly blessed we are as a class — and how blessed every student to ever come through Heritage is, as well.

I’d like to take a moment to look around at all of the people here in the crowd or in cars who have helped us to do the best we could under these conditions. All of these students, teachers and families that make up this community are still here and they worked hard to give us this graduation.

Nobody said that all of these

of the world, we will always be blessed to have this family.

Each and every student that comes through this program is part of this community.

Our class has grown particularly close to the different classes that we once shared high school experiences with before their graduation as well as the current juniors, sophomores, and freshmen will benefit from our shared experiences.

To the class of 2017, we were your freshmen; you could have ignored us or left us alone, but instead you took us under Christensen your wing, you led us through people had to come together sports, and you were, sadly, the just to watch us nine graduates, yet here they are. These people care for and help each other to the best of their ability, as is clearly evident by their presence here today.

All of these teachers, students and parents make up a wonderful community that we, as a class, are still a part of even as we move on to the next stages of our lives.

Soon each one of us will be traveling away from our homes and some even going to different states.

The Heritage community that we were once a part of will come along with us. Whether we are just a few hours away or if we are on the other side

first class we had to say goodbye to. For your leadership and compassion, we thank you.

To the class 2018, you showed us the finer details of life; you led us through our awkward sophomore year when we were growing into the class we are today. For your patience, we thank you.

To the class of 2019, we had been with you all through our junior high years and most of our high school years, as well.

We have grown close together, and learned together. For your friendship, we thank you.

Now for the classes that we have not yet had to say good-

Recently, the Operation RoundUp Board of Directors at Central Texas Electric Cooperative approved a grant to the Gillespie County Committee on Aging.

Known locally as the Golden Hub, the committee provides opportunities to enhance the quality of life for senior citizens in Gillespie County by providing nutritious meals as well as social and healthrelated activities.

The grant of $500 will provide help with the Meals on Wheels program.

Operation Round-Up is a program that has been around the Hill Country area for many years with the help of CTEC members who voluntarily participate.

his topic came to me in an article in Texas Wildlife by Todd Steele about the various dangers we might encounter outdoors. I didn’t take a poll, but I bet the majority of people would answer the above question that they are most afraid of snakes.

I have not been able to find any actual data on numbers of snake bites in Texas, but I did find that nationwide; only 0.06% of all snakebites in the U.S. are fatal. So, while human deaths from snake bites are rare, they can be very painful and some folks have long-lasting effects from the venom. And, anti-venom treatments can be very expensive.

Interestingly, 50% of all snake bites are to 18-28 year-olds, 90% of those males, nearly always to the hands or feet. Steele points out, “A large percentage of snakebites come from people trying to dispatch one.” I suspect those two facts are related.

While not so much a danger here in the Hill Country, Steele notes that alligators are another reptile that one needs to be cautious about.

Down along the coast, fishermen need to be wary of several things in addition to alligators. Stepping on a stingray while wade-fishing MASTER NATURALIST ▶ C/D7

Topics include setting up an ag business, ranch insurance needs, ag business tax implications, understanding land resources, developing grazing or hunting leases, basic ranch-related laws, tracking finances, transition planning, land management techniques and more.

The lessons are taught by specialists within and outside of Texas AgriLife Extension.

It takes about 90 minutes to com-

Gillespie County is in District 3, and it has been announced that there will be a vacancy in the district

and interested producers are being sought to run for the board.

Individuals are encouraged to start thinking about who they would like to see as a director to represent their district.

Forms have been developed for producers to nominate candidates to be placed on the official ballot for each district.

Nomination deadline is July 6, and nomination forms are available from the Gillespie County Extension Of-

fice as well as other county extension offices or the S&GPMB office in San Angelo.

Completed nomination forms should be mailed to the S&GPMB Office as soon as the required 10 signatures of support by producers have been obtained.

Shackleton’s South Pole quest

H

“She doesn’t look dangerous.” – Photo by Jim Stanley

MASTER NATURALIST Cont. from C/D6

can be very painful, and a couple of saltwater catfish also have toxic fins to avoid. In the last 100 years, only two fatal shark attacks have occurred in Texas.

Africanized bees can be extremely aggressive and will pursue trespassers up to a quarter mile, so you certainly want to avoid any hive you don’t know to be safe. Most of us have experienced red imported fire ants, and while not the danger that the Africanized bees can present, they can certainly be unpleasant and some people may have an allergic reaction to them.

(Neither of these are native, of course.)

Staying with insects, scorpions, and brown recluse and black widow spiders can certainly render painful bites or stings, and these critters can be found in and around human habitation, so the chance of people encountering them is greater around homes than out “in nature.”

Brown recluse spider bites are not necessarily painful at first, but can lead to very severe tissue damage in a few days if not promptly treated.

The number of feral hogs is growing fast in Texas, (currently estimated at about 2.6 million) and may eclipse the number of white-tailed deer (around four million) in a few years. I don’t know for sure if there have been any cases of hogs attacking humans in Texas — they would much rather run away than attack. But the boars have really impressive sharp tusks and will certainly attack if threatened — something many dogs have discovered. Sows with piglets can certainly be ferocious, as well.

The apex predator in Texas is, of course, the mountain lion. There is no doubt mountain lions are capable of attacking and even killing a human, and whenever such an event

occurs, it certainly makes the news and thus causes many people to fear them. But in fact, in the last 35 years there have been only four attacks by mountain lions on humans in Texas, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. There have been no fatalities from attacks in Texas.

If you come upon a mountain lion while on foot, do not run like a prey animal. Instead, try to look as large as possible, wave your arms, make noise and fight back.

So what is the native animal that poses the greatest danger to humans in Texas? That would have to be the whitetailed deer.

I know. Those gentle creatures with the big brown eyes that like to chew on your flowers seem so harmless. But there are four million of them in Texas, and they are jumping fences and crossing roads, and in 2013, nearly 6,000 Texans collided with a deer while driving.

And we don’t know how many accidents they caused by drivers trying to avoid hitting them. Insurance statistics show that one out of every 333 Texas drivers will hit one. In 2013, eleven of those collisions were fatal. Nationwide, 1.25 million collisions occur every year resulting in 150 deaths and 10,000 injuries and a cost of about $4 billion.

So, if you are headed out camping or hunting or fishing or to hike in the woods, be especially careful driving out there.

e was a principal figure during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, named the 11th of the 100 Greatest Britons that ever lived, and turned the failure of what was to be his greatest expedition into one of the most epic tales of survival ever told.

Pretty impressive for a guy who once claimed he was sick in order to get out of hiking back from almost reaching the South Pole.

Ernest Henry Shackleton was born in County Kildare, Ireland, on Feb. 15, 1874. He was the second of Henrietta Letitia Sophia Gavan’s and Henry Shackleton’s 10 children and the first of two sons.

Ernest’s brother, Frank, became famous later in life for being named a suspect, then exonerated, for the theft of the Irish Crown Jewels.

Ernest was considered a voracious reader and is said to have gotten his love for adventure from such. He entered Dulwich College at age 13 where he quickly became bored. Ernest quit this boredom at age 16 to work for the North Western Shipping Company aboard the sailing ship Hoghton Tower.

Hill Country Outdoors Gayne C. Young

Ernest excelled at life on the sea and around the age of 24 became a certified as a master mariner which qualified him to command a British ship anywhere in the world.

In 1900, Ernest met army lieutenant Cedric Longstaff whose father, Llewellyn W. Longstaff, was the main financial backer of the National Antarctic Expedition. Ernest used his friendship with the younger Longstaff to obtain an interview with the elder Longstaff. Ernest killed his interview and Longstaff had him appointed third officer to the expedition’s ship Discovery.

Led by Robert Falcon Scott, the Discovery Expedition reached the Antarctic coast Jan. 8, 1902. Ernest performed well during the early stages of the expedition. He took part in an experimental balloon flight, participated in the first sledging trip from the expedition’s winter quarters in McMurdo Sound, and edited the expedition’s magazine The South Polar Times.

Shackleton

Ernest did so well that Scott chose him to accompany him on his march toward the South Pole. Scott later wrote that the trek was, “a combination of success and failure.”

Success was achieved when the group reached the farthest ever recorded southern latitude. Failure came in the form of all 22 dogs on the trek dropping dead from eating tainted dog food, all men suffering from frostbite, scurvy, and snow blindness, and Ernest having what could most likely be considered a nervous breakdown.

Scott later claimed that Ernest had to be dragged back to the ship. Ernest denied such. Regardless, when the

group returned to the ship on Jan. 14, a medical examination found nothing wrong with Ernest and he was sent home on the relief ship Morning.

Undeterred by his failure, Ernest returned to Antarctica in an attempt to reach the South Pole aboard the Nimrod in 1908. On Jan. 9, 1909 Ernest along with Frank Wild, Eric Marshall and Jameson Adams set a new southerly record by making it just 112 miles shy of the South Pole.

Additionally, the expedition saw the discovery of the approximate location of the South Magnetic Pole and the first ascent of Mount Erebus.

Ernest returned to the U.K. a hero and published an account of his expedition in his book “Heart of the Antarctic.”

It was during this time that Ernest’s wife inquired about his feelings of not reaching the pole. Ernest responded, “A live donkey is better than a dead lion.”

Considerations

BY MATT

May 20, 2020

| C/D9

Now in theaters May 20-26, 2020

The inner soul of pain ovie trailers can be a deceptive thing.

They can make comedies seem side-splittingly funny even though they used all the good jokes in the ad. Horror flicks can seem scarier in two minutes of previews than 95 minutes of an actual feature.

And in some cases, a wily editor can cut together a trailer that changes the genre and intent of a film altogether, misleading potential audiences to think they’re getting something that they’re not and tanking the long-term viability of a movie in search of getting viewers to buy tickets opening weekend.

Pushed as a high-voltage action thriller with a dazzling, beautiful lead actress, “The Rhythm Section” is a slowburn espionage drama about a woman’s search for revenge and redemption following unimaginable loss.

This isn’t “witness the birth of an assassin” as the film’s tagline suggests.

It’s “observe the rebirth of a victim who’s not dead yet.”

Director Reed Morano’s feature follows Stephanie Patrick, a woman whose idyllic life shatters after the death of her entire family in a plane

crash. When a journalist finds her prostituting and taking drugs to ease her pain, the information he reveals to her sets Stephanie on a collision course with the truth that the crash might not have been accidental.

Given a part with real depth, Blake Lively has the ability to be the best actress in any scene opposite any other performer.

“The Rhythm Section” gives Lively the time and character background to immerse herself into a world of emotional frailty and loss covered by an almost impenetrable facade of numbed apathy.

Her transformation as Stephanie from joyful to hopeless soul to would-be revenge assassin builds around the emotional burden Stephanie carries first, with flashbacks drawing audiences into her mental state and grounding

the whole film with the weight of her sorrow.

The why Stephanie acts the way she does and decides to go on her quest for revenge — an attempt to make herself somewhat whole again — is more important to “The Rhythm Section” than the how she actually carries out her missions.

Her soul ripping apart at the seams in high-stress moments brings about the sort of fractured humanity that blockbuster action films just won’t delve into and Lively excels in these moments as Stephanie’s humanity causes hesitations that become her biggest flaw in her new line of work and her biggest asset in regaining herself.

Jude Law is solid, not spectacular as a former MI6 agent who takes Stephanie under his wing and points her safely into harm’s way, while Sterling K. Brown tries hard but feels out of sync with the rest of the film as an intelligence broker Stephanie seeks information from.

Action scenes are not as big and bold as the film’s trailer — and likely a majority of its initial audience — projected. Like the rest of “The Rhythm Section,” violence is

Blake Lively stars as a grieving woman seeking vengeance for her family’s death in the arthouse espionage drama, “The Rhythm Section,” now available for rental on DVD or streaming services.

intimate and in close quarters to keep audiences firmly in Stephanie’s mind as events whirl around her. The camera rarely strays from her vantage point, which amps up the urgency of scenes.

Visually, “The Rhythm Section” benefits from Oscarnominated cinematographer Sean Bobbitt teaming up with Morano — a cinematographer in her own right — to progress the style of the film from chaotic, drug-induced mania to a colder, distant look as the camera work mirrors Stephanie’s evolution as a character. Bobbitt makes an arresting use of light and

shadow to give the film a gritty texture uncommon to action films outside of the Jason Bourne franchise.

“The Rhythm Section” was never going to work on the big screen, especially not with the pressure placed on its success

by Paramount to recoup its $50 million budget by immediately placing the film in over 3,000 theaters during late January.

An arthouse film released in a blockbuster world, “The Rhythm Section” fits the mold of theatrical adaptations of John le Carré novels like “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” and “A Most Wanted

Man” or intimate spy thrillers like Steven Soderbergh’s underappreciated 2012 gem “Haywire.”

With movie audiences staying at home and in constant need of something different, perhaps a fantastic leading effort from Lively, grounded drama and rich cinematography, there’s hardly a better time to take a chance on this well-made arthouse espionage thriller.

CHRISTENSEN Cont. from C/D5

bye to: To the class of 2021, you have been along with us for most of this crazy ride. You have worked hard to give us as much of a normal graduation as possible.

The traditional parody and senior lunch could not have happened this year — but y’all made these important events happen. For your determination and sacrifice, we thank you, and we pray for you to have a normal graduation next year To the class of 2022, you are a truly unique bunch — but that is in every way a great thing. You all have brought joy to every encounter we have

had with you. I hope you bring as much joy to your remaining years as you have brought to your first two years. For your positive spirit, we thank you.

Finally, our freshmen, the class of 2023.

Y’all are our freshmen, and while you still have a lot to learn, you have come a long way. For your willingness to learn, we thank you.

For my own class, many people have come and gone from our group, but y’all are the best. I wouldn’t ask for a different group to graduate with. For being kind, welcoming, and fun, I personally thank you.

While we have grown close

to these groups, the community of Heritage goes beyond these students that we have been with. All students, from the first graduating class of 2001, onward, all who graduate from Heritage are part of this group, as well as their families, teachers, and coaches that taught them along their journey.

When the current class of kindergarteners graduates, they will be as much a part of the Heritage community as we will be even at that time, and the same will be true for every class in both the lower and upper school. These teachers that we all love and the parents that help in so many ways

will always be there, while the names of these teachers and parents will change over time, their role will not.

For all graduates there is always an air of unavoidable uncertainty, but we are lucky, because even with the randomness and chaos that the world sometimes seems to be run by, we will always have God and the lessons we have been taught by our Heritage community to help us through our troubles and help others along the way.

My fellow students, if you ever worry about what the future holds for you, just remember this community by which you have been blessed

— and all will be well.

And to all of the people who are a part of this community, especially the people who have made this graduation possible

for us, I offer a final thank you, from the class of 2020 as we say a temporary goodbye and enter the next stage of life, together.

Reopening child care facilities helps ease crisis ‘exacerbation’

’ve always held the controversial opinion that no one knows the true extent of our cash economy. All those reports of retail activity, employment, GDP, etc., are based on data of transactions taking place within the official economy. They don’t include handfuls of cash given to itinerant workers, dependents, and “I know a guy” hired to do odd jobs.

Admit it — you all know examples of this happening.

Thinking of this because I was idly wondering what would have happened if we had allowed the price of toilet paper to rise with increased demand. Wouldn’t that have made it more available?

Keeping prices artificially low encourages hoarding, thereby removing the supply from the marketplace. You know, capitalism?

Ironically, I experienced my first real-world application of unbridled capitalism while living in a socialist society. During the time I was there, Peru was a dictatorship. The government controlled prices and markets.

Fredericksburg’s child care crisis took a toll during the coronavirus pandemic.

“One of the major challenges we are experiencing in our workforce continues to be the lack of child care services,” City Manager Kent Myers said in an email. “This challenge has certainly been exacerbated with COVID-19.”

With the opening of some facilities and likely more after Gov. Greg Abbott’s Phase 2 executive order passed Monday, things might start to get back to normal.

Bethany Preschool opened Monday for essential employees, and Office Manager Joyce Richey said while the team was thrilled to open this week, it’s been tough with the extra rules and extra needed staff.

The staff must pick up children at the door and check temperatures. Parents are not allowed inside.

Parents have to fill out forms to prove they’re essential workers and complete a COVID-19 health policy form.

Once the children are inside, they must stay in their respective classrooms. Richey said monitoring this can be a struggle.

“It is harder,” Richey said. “We have to have two teachers in a room at a time, so that means we need extra staff throughout the day.”

Since it takes more time to set up, Richey said Bethany Preschool has adjusted its hours to 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Richey understands how tough this has been on parents.

“They’ve been pressed to the limit,” Richey said. “Some parents were able to stay home, but most were still having to do a

full-time job, take care of their kids, make sure their kids are fed and, if they have kids in the Fredericksburg Independent School District, they’ve also had to do homeschooling.”

Richey said the preschool has made it a priority to keep parents informed.

“Our board is meeting every two weeks instead of once a month to address the situation,” Richey said. “We want to let them know that while we do want to open, we want it to be a safe environment for everyone.”

Jennifer Weaver, director of Billie Kids Day Care said its been upsetting not to be able to help nonessential employees, but she’s trying to keep

them informed as much as possible.

“I’m just telling them to hang in there and that this will hopefully be over soon,” Weaver said. “I try to contact them once a week about what are plans are.”

Facilities update Myers released an update on which child care facilities are closed and when they might reopen. Each facility’s update and rules are listed below.

As of Monday’s press deadline, these are all up to date.

• Bethany Preschool, 110 W. Austin St. — Opened Monday, May 18 for children of essential employees

only. Additional slots were added May 18. At this time, all slots are filled.

Beginning next week, the preschool will open up for children of nonessential employees.

The preschool also plans to open its summer camp on June 1. Abbott’s recent order allows for camps to begin at the end of the month.

How Are Pipelines Constructed?

A Permian Highway Pipeline Project Update Pipelines are constructed in accordance with strict regulatory and environmental standards and industry best practices.

Underground pipelines are the safest and most efficient method of transporting energy products.

1. Clearing & Grading

6. Inspection & Coating

After the right-of-way (ROW) is carefully surveyed and staked, the ROW is graded. Top soil is carefully removed and segregated.

For quality assurance, technicians inspect the pipe coating prior to installation and also inspect all welds using x-rays. Each weld is then coated by a coating head.

2. Trenching

7. Pipe Lowering

A wheel ditcher or backhoe digs the trench for the pipeline.

The bottom of the trench is then padded with sand to cushion the pipe.

Sidebooms move together to gently lower the welded pipeline into the trench.

3. Stringing Pipe

8. Padding & Backfill

Each piece of pipe is laid on the ROW to ensure proper positioning prior to bending, welding and installation.

The pipe trench is backfilled and graded.

4. Field Bending Pipe

9. Hydrostatic Testing

The pipe is bent, as needed, to accommodate elevation and horizontal changes.

The pipeline is filled with water and pressurized to ensure the pipe’s integrity and that it is fit for service.

5. Welding

10. Restoration

The construction crew welds each section of pipe together into one continuous length.

The pipe trench and land within the ROW are contoured and revegetated. The landowner may continue using the ROW for most purposes after restoration.

LCRA makes donations to area food banks The Lower Colorado River Authority has donated $104,000 to 52 food banks throughout the LCRA service area to help support communities during these challenging economic times.

LCRA provided $2,000 to each of the 52 community food banks to help provide food to people in need.

In addition to Gillespie County, the recipient food banks are in Austin, Bandera, Bastrop, Burleson, Burnet, Caldwell, Colorado, DeWitt, Fayette, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Hamilton, Hays, Kendall, Kerr, Kimble, Lampasas, Lavaca, Lee, Llano, Mason, Matagorda, McCulloch, Mills, San Saba, Schleicher, Tom Green, Waller, Washington and Wharton counties.

or many of us, Memorial Day marks the start of grilling season and a leap into summer vacation, or this year we might say summer staycation.

Grilling is a great way to cook — you get great charcoal flavor, less clean up, and grilling really allows the meat you choose to shine.

We have all seen the news — meat sales are at an alltime high as we stay home more often and eat together as a family. So, dust off your grill, if you haven’t already, and join us this week and next in this column for some fun and easy grilling recipes.

If you don’t have a grill, try using a cast iron grill pan on the stove — you can achieve mouth-watering results there, too.

For some, grilling can be intimidating, but no worries, this week’s recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts which cook very quickly and evenly.

If you have leftovers, they are also a handy thing to have on hand to throw into pasta or used for chicken burgers, salads, pizza, nachos, and even soup. Whether fresh off the grill, or two days later from a container in the

know they are ready when the internal temperature reaches 160-165 degrees, or if when sliced, the meat shows no sign of pinkness. How you want to construct your quesadillas is up to you, but we have a suggested number of things to add to the grilled chicken for a very tasty Memorial Day meal.

fridge, grilled chicken breasts are very useful.

Today we are making Southwest Chicken Quesadillas.

Before you start, marinate your meat with a flavorful marinade. This will make sure the chicken breasts stay moist and will add an extra layer of flavor. We’re using a cilantro lime marinade recipe for the chicken, which is a Mexican-inspired marinade that will bring lots of savory flavors to your quesadillas. To marinate, place the rinsed chicken into a Ziploc bag, pour the marinade over the breasts, fully mix in the marinade and make sure the chicken is covered, seal the bag tightly, and place into the fridge for one to two hours.

Take out the chicken breasts and cook on the grill. You will

Cilantro Lime Marinade: ¼ cup distilled white vinegar ¼ cup avocado oil ½ cup chopped cilantro Juice of 2 limes 1 tbsp cumin 1 tbsp oregano 2 tsp chili powder 2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp salt Ingredients: 6 medium flour or corn tortillas 1 lb. grilled chicken breasts 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained ½ cup canned corn, rinsed and drained ¾ cup red bell pepper, diced ¼ cup diced jalapeños ½ cup red onion, diced ½ cup zucchini, diced 2 cloves minced garlic 1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cayenne pepper ½ tsp salt and pepper 2 cups shredded cheese (Sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack) Fischer & Wieser Southwest Dip (optional, for topping) Directions: 1. Heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil (or any neutral oil) in a medium pan. Add onions, bell peppers, corn, jalapeños, zucchini and black beans. Cook 3-4 minutes until onions are caramelized.

Turn heat down to low and add in garlic. Cook until fragrant. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl shred the chicken breasts with two forks.

3. In a separate clean pan over medium heat spread butter onto one side of the tortilla. Place the buttered side face down onto the pan. Top the left half of the tortilla with cheese, the veggie mixture and chicken shreds. Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the filling and cook on both sides until golden.* 4. Serve with avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, or Fischer & Wieser Southwest Dip. *Follow this same method if grilling the quesadillas.

FULL HOUSE Cont. from C/D10

“super” mercados were bare or only offered one variety of every product. You could buy rice, and peanuts, and canned juice, for example, but there was only one type of each.

Since there was no trade with the United States, of course there were no American goods.

To escape those controls, one could attend the weekly local market. There, natives came to town to sell their goods. There was lots of fresh

produce — mangos, olives, piles of potatoes of all color and size (Peru was the Eden of potatoes), meat from the back of a van, and my personal addiction, popcorn.

But still, at either market there were no consumer goods we were accustomed to seeing in the states. However... there was a way to get those goods you didn’t “need,” but wanted.

Welcome to the Black Market.

There, we could find anything — cigars, chocolate, alcohol, toys, electronic goods, recorded music, and all manner of American products (expats loved finding Cheerios).

If you were willing to pay the price, someone would get it for you.

I always remembered that lesson in economic systems, because it literally hit you in the gut.

And in the reaction to our current situation, I recog-

nize signs of the return of the Black Market.

It’s little things. Haircuts in garages. Deer sausage from the neighborhood hunter. Unlocked back doors at drinking establishments. Vans filled with toilet paper. Bootleg masks. Fresh eggs.

Yes, this crisis has brought out the best in our society.

Donations of food, support for local businesses, extra tips for employees still on the job.

I would propose that Black

Markets are an extension of this concern for fellow citizens.

Despite the name, a “black” market could be a farmer’s market, where producers sell their wares directly to consumers.

The point is that throughout history, in any type of society, ultimately the individual will figure out a way to survive.

We will circumvent any bureaucratic edict that does not serve the well-being of our

family. Some call it greed.

Some call it freedom.

A healthy society is a balance between the rights of the individual and the good of society. When that balance tips in either direction, expect a reaction.

How to Draw a Unicorn © 2020 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 36, No. 26

Did unicorns ever exist? Explore the mystery on today’s puzzling Kid Scoop page!

or thousands of years, people all over the world have told stories about a magical, mysterious one-horned animal: the unicorn. In some of these stories, unicorns were huge and in others they were tiny and playful.

Some were pure white; others had horns and bodies of many colors.

Some were Cut out these fierce and boxes. Put brave. Others them together were peaceful. in the correct

order and color the unicorn.

Some people think that unicorn stories started from sightings of a one-horned rhinoceros or a gazelle in profile.

The unicorn is usually described as an ideal being, possessing qualities people admire. While the animal does not exist, the qualities do.

Each unicorn below has a puzzle piece in its mouth.

Match each piece with an identical piece that contains a word describing a unicorn quality.

Standards Link: Literary Analysis: Students understand the origin of legends.

Several hundred years ago, people sold mysterious horns that were said to be unicorn horns. These horns were straight; most animal horns are curved. Some were more than seven feet long and had spirals running down the entire length.

Herd immunity Herd immunity (the resistance to the spread of a contagious disease within a population) occurs if a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease.

It is achieved through: 1.) Vaccination (there is no vaccine) or 2.) The level of infection needed to achieve herd immunity has been reached.

This level of infection varies by disease but ranges from 83 to 94 percent.

The COVID-19 infection rate has not approached any level required for herd immunity by infection.

Volunteering?

To achieve herd immunity, you, personally, need to survive the infection along with your entire extended family.

The only group of Americans that come close are the meat packers. Think about this.

If you are a volunteer to get to herd immunity, thank you.

I doubt you understand what you are volunteering for.

LETTERS At the time, the U.S. was at the peak of the Great Depression. These 10 words at the very beginning of his 20-minute speech were the most notable. He said it to a country in great need of HOPE! All great leaders understand this. Just as there are always two sides of every coin, every factual statement can be said in different ways.

“New testing allows us to identify more cases previously unknown” versus “There are 100,000 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19.” Is the virus spreading rapidly, or are we just better at testing?

“253,000 people have recovered from COVID-19” versus “There are 1,450,000 people that are confirmed to have COVID-19.” It is hopeful to know that COVID-19 is not a death sentence.

“Studies indicate that many people had the virus, but showed no symptoms of being sick” versus “86,607 people have died in the U.S. due to COVID-19.” It is hopeful to know that it is possible for healthy people to only have extremely mild cases.

All of these previous statements are true. For one last example as to how something can be stated: “The sun will come out tomorrow … bet your bottom dollar on tomorrow ...” versus “You and others are likely to die unless you do exactly as I tell you now.”

While “facts are facts,” there always will be someone offering hope and someone else attempting to exploit your fear.

To whom shall you listen?

God has number God knows the day you are born and the day you die.

Don’t worry, rely on Him. I’m not saying to not disinfect everything, but get out of your caves and enjoy the sunlight!

Push Granny into the sunlight, whether it be in the backyard, front yard or balcony. The first 20 minutes of the first rays in the morning or 20 minutes before sundown. It won’t hurt her.

Don’t put on sunscreen to block the Vitamin D. They say to close your eyes during this time as the sunlight going through your eyelids will make a difference in your brain. This will help against depression.

If Granny believes in Jesus as “her savior” and she does die, she’ll go to heaven — a much better place than here on earth. Rejoice, she is with Jesus.

God bless you all.

Ignite Immunity, Clean Naturally With Lemons (NAPS)—If you’re among the increasing number of Americans keen on natural solutions to boost immunity these days, you may be glad to know the answer may be right in your refrigerator—or should be. Loaded with vitamin C and zinc, and with key antioxidant qualities, Limoneira Lemons can play a vital role in helping the immune system adapt to new threats and conditions.

Experts have cited lemons as a way to “reduce the risk of complications from a cold or flu, and reduce inflammation in

When life gives you lemons, use them to boost your immune system and clean and disinfect your home.

the body.” Experiments have also found that lemon juice can destroy the bacteria of malaria, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid and other deadly diseases.

Lemons are also a boon to any kitchen or DIY beauty routine—plus, they’re a handy sustainability tool.

Use them to make life simpler without investing in potentially toxic chemicals or overpriced solutions. In fact, beyond their immunity-boosting benefits, lemons provide natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties that let you clean and disinfect your home, naturally.

Here’s how to create a useful all-purpose cleaner for your kitchen and bathroom that can help your house smell spring fresh all year: Combine equal parts lemon juice and water in a spray bottle. You can use it nearly anywhere.

For wood surfaces, create a polish by mixing one cup of olive oil and onehalf cup of lemon juice. Test it first on a small spot.
