Honor & service Gov. Abbott, Sen. Buckingham recognize veterans’ sacrifices

By McKenzie Moellering Standard-Radio Post reporter

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott spoke to veterans, family members and other attendees about the importance of celebrating Veterans Day while speaking at the National Museum of the Pacific War on Monday.

The governor was joined by Texas State Senator Dawn Buckingham and CEO of the Admiral Nimitz Foundation Gen. Michael Hagee.

Hagee thanked the community for braving the cooler weather, as tempera-

tures dropped during the presentation.

“I think this afternoon is when temperatures are going to start plummeting so if you are planning a barbecue, you may need to rethink that,” Hagee said.

Hagee thanked those who served and those who support them.

“Many of you came at a time when the nation wasn’t very supportive but you still came forward and tried to do your best for our nation,” he said. “And we should all be very proud of that. One of the reasons I am delighted to see so many people here is to commemorate

and thank these individuals.”

During Abbott’s speech, the governor spoke about supporting veterans and helping preserve their legacy. He recognized the National Museum of the Pacific War for its connection to Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and how the museum has helped tell an important story.

He emphasized how Veterans Day and Memorial Day are the most important holidays to be celebrated, because if it weren’t for the honor and service

FISD looks at attendance, scores

By Samuel Sutton Standard-Radio Post reporter

Fredericksburg Independent School District Board members had several concerns about the problems campuses are facing ahead of approving the 2019-20 Campus Improvement Plans.

These plans were prepared to address specific problems at each campus, identify the root and cause of the problem, and address the needs of each campus so that the board knows what should be improved for the campuses to progress.

During their regular 5:30 p.m. meeting Monday, board members addressed common issues, including the number of students “Approaching Grade Level”

ART ON DISPLAY Artist Nora Dempsey of Fredericksburg discusses her art with Bobby and Molly Sagebiel, also of Fredericksburg, on Saturday morning during the 27th annual Fine Art Show and Sale hosted by Die Künstler (the Artists) von Fredericksburg. Held in St. Joseph’s Halle, the exhibition featured more than 250 pieces of original art created by the group’s over 65 artist members. Another photo from the show can be found on A16. — Standard-Radio Post/ Yvonne Hartmann

County lifts burn ban

Attendance The next question focused on enforcing consequences on absent students.

Audience members in attendance, including Fredericksburg Middle School assistant principal Jeff Wanek, brought up the issue that since excessive absence is no longer a criminal offense (changed in 2015 with House Bill 2398), campuses often struggle with keeping students in the classroom because nothing is getting the parents’ attention to keep them in class.

Gillespie County Judge Mark Stroeher announced that the countywide burn ban was lifted at 11:40 a.m. Friday, Nov. 8.

The action to lift the burn ban came after consultation with County Fire Marshal Steve Olfers, who advised that the chiefs of the rural fire departments in the county were in agreement that the recent small amount of moisture, along with the forecast for higher humidity, the possibility of additional rain and more stable conditions, present an opportunity for people to take care of needed burning, Stroeher stated.

STAAR performance Discussion began with board member Mark Cornett addressing the nearly 50% of fifth grade students only “Approaching Grade Level” on the STAAR tests, instead of “Meeting Grade Level.”

He said not improving this could be why the middle school students’s test scores are also low.

“We’ve got to do something different,” Cornett said.

Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Brasher responded to Cornett’s concerns, saying the district is “always taking bench-

Members of the Citizens for an Informed Relief Route provided an update to Gillespie County Commissioners Thursday, Nov. 7.

Dave Campbell, a member of the group which boasts more than 500 members, led the discussion.

“We have been struggling because we all want what is best for Gillespie County and this has been something that we have been working on for 15-plus years,” Campbell said.

The Texas Department of Transportation has been working on the project, and is proposing what is considered a “super-highway,” which would be a divided four-lane highway with limited access points, 240-400 feet in width, according to the group.

“Imagine coming in on U.S. 290 East, going 60 mph and suddenly you reach Fredericksburg and reach speeds of 70 mph, and you fly past the Gillespie County Fair Grounds,” Campbell said.

“Now you have the look of what you see in Houston and Austin and most people live here because it’s not like a big city.”

World War II veterans were joined by Sen. Dawn Buckingham and Gov. Greg Abbott on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11, at the National Museum of the Pacific War at a program honoring veterans.

VETERANS DAY of veterans, Americans would not be able to celebrate other holidays such as Christmas, Fourth of July and more.

“It is because of our veterans and those serving around the world today, that America remains the brightest beacon of freedom the world has ever known,” he said. “Today and every day, we must honor the men and women who put service above self and who bravely fought to defend our nation and promote security around the world.”

Abbott expressed concerns over advancing socialism over the individual freedoms that have been secured by veterans.

“People too easily forget the evils of socialism, communism and totalitarianism that America has fought against.

They take it for granted,” he said.

He concluded by reminding the audience of the sacrifices, and that freedom is always worth fighting for.

“While we can never fully repay the debt we owe our veterans, we have a responsibility

Cont. from A1

to preserve their legacy and the freedoms for which they fought. To all our veterans, I share with you the enduring gratitude of the people of Texas.”

State Sen. Dawn Buckingham was recognized by Hagee for the support she has given at the city and county levels as well as at the National Museum of the Pacific War. “Without her leadership and her reaching across the aisle and motiving others to take stuff that we needed and take Texas out of the trash can and make it into law, I personally want to thank her,” Hagee said.

Buckingham thanked veterans and their families for the sacrifices they make.

“On the state and local level, we are doing everything we can to support not only our active military but our veterans,” she said. ‘I want to thank all of our veterans and all of our active military and all of our families, because it’s really about you all.”

The program also included patriotic songs sung by

Doss News Wow, what a change in Texas weather. It was pleasant over the weekend and then Monday we had our first winter with moisture and temperatures in the 20s.

Ranchers reported 60 points to over an inch of rain.

The white-tailed deer hunting season is underway and hunters seem to be doing well.

Also, lots of wild hogs have been shot and some folks are reporting that they have even shot some coyotes.

The colors of fall can be seen while driving the roads in

Gillespie County and the surrounding counties. It’s a great time to take pictures, but remember to be safe and don’t cross fences, especially since it’s deer hunting season.

Unexpected emergency ballots led to late-night ballot counting on Election Night, Tuesday, Nov. 5.

According to the Gillespie County Elections Administrator Anissa Herrera, 102 emergency ballots had to be made for four precincts.

“We expected an unusual turnout even though it was an off-election year, so we ordered more ballots but we still ran out,” Herrera said. “This election blew our expectations.”

Emergency ballots are used when official ballots run out.

Elections administrators order ballots based on the expected number of voters.

In the 2019 election, Gillespie County saw a voter turnout of 23.33% or 4,529 of 19,416 registered voters in the county.

Of the 102 emergency ballots, the following were issued to these precincts: • Precinct 1: six ballots; • Precinct 7: two ballots; • Precinct 12: 66 ballots; • Precinct 13: 28 ballots.

One problem with emergency ballots is that they are unreadable by machine, meaning they have to be hand-tallied, resulting in a longer than normal counting process.

“We have to have one caller and three people tallying votes, and once we start, we have to continue counting,” Herrera said.

The process was not completed until around 3:30 a.m., Herrera said.

The elections department states that all election results remain unofficial until they are canvassed in the coming weeks.

MY 2 CENTS

Penny McBride

Sometimes our ‘Plan A’ needs a ‘Plan B’

W

ho says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

Making the decision to cancel last year’s Light The Night Christmas Parade remains one of the saddest of my professional career. But I picked up a new trick and the parade now has a preapproved back-up date.

In the sunny days that followed that wet, stormy night, I fielded lots of questions as to why the parade couldn’t be rescheduled.

Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.

There are permitting issues since Main Street is not only a municipal thoroughfare, but also a state and federal highway. There are myriad coordination challenges with parade entries and vendors coming from other cities. And, there are scheduling issues, since the parade is almost entirely powered by volunteers.

Long and short, we did not have a workable back-up plan.

This year, the Light The Night Christmas Parade, proudly presented by H-E-B, will return on Friday, Dec. 6. But should Mother Nature and Old Man Winter collude in an overly-nasty way, we will move the event to Friday, Dec. 13.

I am thankful for this contingency and I am deeply grateful for the support from our volunteers, City of Fredericksburg and Gillespie County for their commitment and help in making this back-up plan possible.

But enough of Plan B. Let’s talk about Plan A for a while.

We already have nearly 70 entries for this year’s parade, which promises to be as shiny and beautiful as ever.

I recently completed the edit and review process of our new videos and television commercials and smiled brightly when I saw a few of the beautifully illuminated entries that the visiting festivals, businesses, non-profits, churches and schools assemble. The creativity of these always surprises and delights.

Once again, the first 30 minutes of the parade will be live televised on CBS Austin. There is still plenty of time to enter the parade, but only entries with a written description and received by Nov. 27 will be considered for the televised portion.

There is still opportunity for area non-profits to use the parade as a fundraiser or to build awareness about their mission and outreach.

Friedën subdivision now taking homesite reservations Friedën, Fredericksburg’s newest custom-home community, officially announced Nov. 7 it has begun taking reservations for homesites.

The 220-acre community has 40% of total acreage reserved for open green space and architectural guidelines to unify the “Modern Farmhouse” style.

Friedën, located about two miles south of Main Street, was recently selected as the first community in the Texas Hill Country to be included in the Southern Living Inspired Community program (SLIC), a program recognizing the best in boutique residential communities that reflect regional architecture and offer a lifestyle approach to development often seen in the pages of Southern Living magazine.

ONLINE www.friedentx.com

Owning the development of Friedën is Fredericksburg Development, Inc., a family-owned real estate development company.

The company teamed up with local residents Skip Preble and Thomas Thör Peterson of Heirloom Communities to build the neighborhood.

“We’ve been looking forward to this for a long time,” Peterson said.

“It’s great to finally open the gates and show people the community we envision now that the land is ready.”

The community will take shape one farmhouse at a time with the first 84 homesites now available.

“For those who love the simplicity

and craftsmanship of the modern farmhouse style, Friedën is ideal,” Preble said.

A plan book and architectural guidelines provide continuity, but each homeowner has a unique interpretation of this farmhouse style.

Residents can select from a portfolio of plans designed by local architect Tim Brown or choose to hire an outside architecture firm.

Ranch lots, lookout and walkout basement lots are all available. Homesite prices range from $99,000 up to $314,000.

“For Friedën, we steered toward the essence of what it means to be in the Texas Hill Country,” Preble said.

“It’s a totally unique combination of appreciating nature and a slow pace of life, with a love of food, wine

and other people. As the vision for Friedën took shape, we were careful to maintain and promote the natural landscape, the lifestyle and the design vernacular of the area in everything we’ve done — from the architecture and amenities, to the land plan, and we’re excited to welcome our first families.”

Planned amenities include miles of expansive outdoor trails, an amenity center, including a neighborhood pool, a modern barn event space, a fitness center and Wi-Fi in all community and amenity areas.

As the community grows, there are also plans outside the gates for a commercial center, including restaurants, retail, hospitality, multi-family residences and a central Friedën town center.

Hill Country SPCA announces Christian Job Corps sets temporary kennel closure matching grant challenge Hill Country SPCA has announced that it is temporarily closing access to the dog kennels in the animal shelter due to a threat of a highly contagious virus.

On Oct. 17, the Hill Country SPCA transferred in a group of dogs from another shelter who were listed for euthanasia due to space at that facility.

One of those dogs started showing signs of extreme illness, and was hospitalized. His primary veterinarian determined he would not recover from his symptoms so he was humanely euthanized.

Test results came back positive for Distemper and two other upper respiratory viruses. Distemper is a highly contagious virus without cure.

Supportive care may assist infected animals in achieving a higher survival rate if diagnosed in time.

The Hill Country SPCA follows best practices and vaccinates every animal upon intake, and boosts adult dogs two weeks later and puppies every two weeks until 18 weeks of age.

“There is a time period between vaccinations and onset of immunity that leaves an animal vulnerable.

Since the dog who tested positive was in the HCSPCA shelter for six days while shedding the virus, he could have infected other dogs in their care,” said Matt Moskosky, DVM. “Our shelter currently works with a contagious disease specialist veterinarian with the University of Florida to identify any high risk dogs in our shelter,” said Elizabeth Loggie, executive director. “We sent off testing, which will help us identify other potentially infected dogs.

We are continuing to sanitize our shelter.

“The Hill Country SPCA will not be allowing the general public into our kennels until all dogs in our care are deemed healthy and adoptable,” Loggie said. “This is for the benefit of our shelter animals and your pets.”

For more information, call 830990-9085, visit www. hillcountryspca.com or visit them at 2981 Texas 16 South.

Christian Job Corps of Gillespie County has announced its 2019 matching grant challenge.

“With help from supporters, CJCGC has a goal to raise $15,000

by Dec. 31 in order to receive matching funds that will be used to help those who are unemployed or underemployed with job readiness, as well as support outreach for the Gillespie County Jail,” a spokesperson said.

In 2019, CJCGC has served and graduated 10 women — doubling the amount of participants it served since 2017.

“The Connect Training Program is used to help women to create a vocational plan and develop skills needed for their desired career, facilitate resume and interview preparation and build a network with community and business leaders,” the spokesperson said.

New in 2019, CJCGC initiated weekly classes for inmates at the jail, which hosts up to 10% of the total population on any given week.

“These classes are designed to help

inmates to better understand themselves and others, as well as preparation for life after jail,” according to the spokesperson.

Topics include understanding temperament, anger management, communications and vocational discovery.

Donations made to the Give Job Training challenge will be doubled by a matching grant, which will help the CJCGC in accomplishing three goals: triple participation enrollement through Connect & Direction Training programs, invest in curriculum and equipment for its Jail Outreach Program and increase support of area employers through outreach, alignment of existing programs and development of new training services.

Donations to CJCGC’s Give Job Training challenge can be made online at www.CJCGC.org or mailed to P.O. Box 2372, Fredericksburg, Texas 78624. Questions or volunteer inquiries can be sent by email to director@cjcgc.org or phone at 830-998-6874.

Retail Coach offers tips to local business owners FCVB Notes Ernie Loeffler

• Experiential retail.

Retailers must be strategizing using omnichannels.

E-commerce and m-commerce should just be additional channels along with a brick-and-mortar location, per Farmer. He believes the retailers who will survive the transition to e-commerce will be the ones who are investing in an online revenue stream and visibility.

Millennials are having a huge impact on the evolution of retail, Farmer noted.

They are price sensitive, want to be unique (care less about the brand), appreciate the omnichannel process and utilize store pickup and free delivery.

According to Farmer, spending by millennials will reach $1.4 trillion by 2020.

In addition, today’s consumers prefer ease and experience, Farmer said.

Mikael Thygesen, chief marketing officer for Simon Shopping Destinations, says “Shopping in a physical store should be a fun, social and rewarding experience that

McBRIDE

can’t be replicated online.”

Makes me think about our Gillespie County peach stands.

They were doing “experiential retailing” long before the term was even invented, I bet.

A couple of other retailers locally who have created “an experience” are Das Peach Haus and Rustlin’ Rob’s.

Enter either of these brickand-mortar stores and taste the wonderful flavors of products for sale. Oh, by the way, both also are selling online, as well.

Wildseed Farms is also “an experience” — walk among the wildflowers and grapes growing on the property. Then step into the retail center. And they have a major presence online, as well.

Lots of great demographic information for local retailers (and others doing business in Fredericksburg and Gillespie County) can be found at https://retail360.us/fredericksburg-tx/.

And it’s provided to you free of charge by the Gillespie County EDC, the Fredericksburg CVB and the City of Fredericksburg.

Take a look to see what customers you may be missing!

which takes place on parade day in the Adelsverein Halle on Marktplatz, features non-profit booths that surround Santa and Ms. Claus’ Peppermint Platz, sponsored

by First Capital Bank of Texas.

Photo opportunities in this area are free.

Booths cost only $25 for Chamber member non-profits and $50 for non-members.

If your group is looking for some simple fundraising ideas, just give me a call. It’s a low risk way to make some money and show people what you do

while celebrating Christmas.

Following the parade, our friends at Hill Country Film Festival will be offering a free holiday film screening under the Oktoberfest Halle. There will also be local wine and plenty of food options, including, pizza, Mexican food, sausage wraps, hot dogs, barbecue sandwiches, fruit-based drinks, roasted nuts and more.

We recently added more reserved bleacher seating and it is selling quickly. Fewer than 25 seats remain at a cost of $17 each, including restrooms and

a hand-washing station.

Of course, seating along the rest of the parade route on Main Street, between the intersections of Washington and Bowie streets, is always free. Just bring your lawn chairs, blankets and get cozy.

I cannot wait for the Light The Night Christmas Parade on Friday Dec. 6. But if we run into problems, we will only have to wait a week to try again.

Local band to compete on Nickelodeon Fredericksburg’s sibling band, Willow City, is releasing its new song, “Ghosts”, in conjunction with their appearance on Nickelodeon’s new show, America’s Most Musical Family.

America’s Most Musical Family is Nickelodeon’s brand-new music competition series, where 30 families from across North America compete for a recording contract with Republic Records and the chance to win a $250,000 cash prize in partnership with Capri Sun 100% Juice.

“The show includes celebrity judges: Grammy Awardwinning global superstar Ciara, digital media sensation David Dobrik, pop icon and Broadway star Debbie Gibson and show host, singer and television personality Nick Lachey,” according to a spokesman from Nickelodeon.

Nickelodeon reached out to Willow City after finding them on Instagram, and the audition process began.

“We were just bowled over that we were chosen for the show,” Asa Proch, 16, the

youngest brother, singer, and mandolinist said.

“Travelling to Los Angeles for recording was a great experience,” Liza Proch, lead singer said. “We met so many amazing people, from the cast to the crew to other families with whom we had so much in common.”

“So far, two shows have aired, and we are so looking forward to our friends seeing the rest of the season,” oldest brother, lead singer and guitarist Beecher Proch said.

“Every family is so talented and there are so many genres included. There is something for everyone.”

Because of the family nature of the show, each band uses its family’s name, thus Willow City will be known as “Family Proch” on the show.

America’s Most Musical Family will simulcast across BET, MTV, MTV2, Nicktoons, Network, Paramount TeenNick, TV Land and VH1 at 7 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times (ET/PT), with new episodes airing every Friday night on Nickelodeon.

The local band will be releasing their new song, “Ghosts” across all music platforms Thursday, Nov. 14 in conjunction with the third episode of AMMF. Listeners may find the song on Spotify, itunes, and Amazon.

“Ghosts” is produced by Grammy nominee, Adam Palmer, from Nashville.

The newly recorded song, written by Ezra Proch, is a personal story of heartbreak and healing.

“Liza’s cutting vocals as well as electric guitar and eighties-inspired synths mark the song,” a band spokesman said.

More information about Willow City Music can be found at willowcitymusic.com and across all social media platforms.

The band will share their new music, along with Christmas songs at “Christmas with Willow City” at the Rockbox Theater, Dec. 13.

Tickets may be purchased at rockboxtheater.com or by calling the box office at 866349-6688.

bout three weeks ago, Aaron Farmer, president of The Retail Coach, gave a presentation for local retailers as part of the firm’s contracted services with the Gillespie County Economic Development Commission (EDC), the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau (FCVB) and the City of Fredericksburg.

Unfortunately, attendance by local retailers was sparse. If you missed the presentation, here are a few notes that may be of interest.

First the good news, the National Retail Federation forecasts that holiday sales for 2019 will increase by 3.8% to 4.2% over 2018.

Although much has been made about e-commerce, only 14.3% of all retail sales in 2018 were actually made online per the U.S. Commerce Department. However, that is up from 5.1% in 2007.

Farmer pointed out that retailing is undergoing many changes, challenges, disruptive technologies and opportunities.

Four points he mentioned: • Continued rise of e-commerce.

• America’s penchant for eating out.

• The effects of millennials.

Wild Game Dinner to be held Nov. 23 The Gillespie County Fair Grounds will again host the Wild Game Dinner which is set for Saturday, Nov. 23.

Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. and food will be served until 8:30 p.m. or until it runs out, whichever comes first.

Tickets are $25 and prize drawing tickets are $5 each or six for $25.

The meal includes many wild game options as well as “tame game” options like fried fish, gumbo and barbecue plates.

The event will include exhibitors, promotional giveaways, live and silent auctions, hunts, exotic vacations, games and more.

Over $200,000 in prizes, including 69 firearms, are expected.

Tickets and prize drawing tickets can be purchased in advance at Arrowhead Bank, Lochte Feed and General Store, Stroeher and Olfers Allied Ag Services and Los Cazadores.

Prizes include jewelry from Segner’s, James Avery and others, many items for children and ladies, artwork and archery products. Silent auction and game prizes will include a kayak, toys, tools, family items and more.

Prize drawing winners will be announced throughout the evening and game winners will be announced following the live action.

“I can’t tell you how proud I am of our many volunteers, our first-class cooks and our dedicated board members,” said Lester Meier, board chairman.

Organizers have helped raise over $965,000 in the last 12 years, including $295,825 in

2018, Meier said.

“Our goal has always been to support agricultural education projects for our Gillespie County youth and I am proud of all of the educators who put every dollar to good use,” Meier said.

World Champion auctioneer Craig Meier will lead the auction for the sixth year in a row.

The exhibit tent will provide information for those wishing to learn more about local businesses that offer hunting, fishing, camping and wild game services.

To host a booth, con tact Kristen Crenwelge, at 830-456-1296 or email wildgamegc@yahoo.com.

Executive board member Chris Schoessow will be the coordinator for the cooks.

“We are lucky to have so many hunters, guides and local people who supply the wild game for the cooks to prepare,” he said. “There are many teams of talented cooks that make the food taste great.

Our volunteer cooks and local processors, who come back year after year, are really the ones we like to thank most.

They never fail to bring their best.”

“In a community where many organizations have good causes, we are honored to have their contributions to help our Gillespie County youth,” executive board member Shawn Lehne said. “We appreciate everything they do.”

To volunteer, contact Shelee Padgett, at 830-998-1815.

For more information, email wildgame@beecreek.net or call Lehne at 830-997-5508, Christie Mohr at 830-4565003, or Charlie Wilson at 830-990-4917.

Fredericksburg’s FallWinter Leaf Collection Program, provided by the City of Fredericksburg, is underway, and will continue through Friday, Jan. 31, 2020.

During this program, residents are encouraged to gather leaves from their property and rake them to the street.

Residents are reminded of the following guidelines, which will ensure pickup.

Leaf pickup guidelines • Rake leaves onto the street, 12 inches from the curb.

• Do not rake limbs, twigs, wire, rocks, bricks or other debris along with the leaves for collection. Any items other than leaves that are picked up will damage the leaf collection equipment and will not be picked up for that reason.

For assistance in removing debris from the leaf pile, call the city’s Street Department to arrange for a special pick up using a loader and dump truck. There will be a mini-

• Avoid parking vehicles near leaf piles. The collection equipment can’t maneuver around vehicles and will not be able to pick up leaves.

• Leaves mixed with limbs, grass clippings and other debris will not be picked up.

• Grass clippings will not be picked up.

The city’s Leaf Collection Program is not a year-round service. The city offers this service twice a year, free of charge, to all residential garbage customers to encourage community beautification.

If leaves are put out after Jan. 31, 2020, the resident will be notified to properly dispose of their leaves.

If leaves are not disposed of, the following fees will be assessed based on service provided according to Code of Ordinances Section 25-025: $100 for each dump truck size load or part thereof.

Spring leaf pickup is tentatively set to begin in March 2020.

The show Charles Dickens’ holiday classic comes to life as a live 1940s radio broadcast, complete with holiday tunes, vintage commercials for fruitcake (extra-fancy), the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring, Reily said.

A handful of actors bring dozens of characters to the stage, as the familiar story unfolds: Three ghosts take Ebenezer Scrooge on a thrilling journey to teach him the true meaning of Christmas.

“A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play” is a charming take on a family favorite that was written and produced by the same team responsible for FTC’s hit holiday production of 2016, “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play,” Reily explained.

A celebration of song, story, poetry and art was featured on Friday and Saturday as part of the Second Annual Texas Hill Country Cowboy Gathering at the Steve W. Shepherd Theater. Taking part in a Songs of the New West session on Friday afternoon were Stephanie Davis of Austin and Mike Blakely of Fredericksburg, who also served as host for the session. — Standard-Radio Post/Yvonne Hartmann

Fredericksburg ranked among safest cities according to recent survey results In a state with a violent crime rating slightly higher than the national rating, Fredericksburg was one of Texas’ 50 safest cities on a recent list

by SafeWise.com.

SafeWise, an organization that researches products and best practices for safety, used FBI data to generate a list based on the number of violent

crime and property crime incidents per 1,000 people. The FBI lists murder, aggravated assault, rape and robbery as violent crimes.

Fredericksburg came in as the 28th safest city, with a rating of .78 violent crimes and 12.75 for property crimes.

That’s’ much lower than the state averages of 4.95 for vio-

lent crimes and 29.11 for property crimes.

Fredericksburg also ranked safer than the national averages, which had a 4.49 violent crime rate and a 27.11 property crime rate.

Axis deer impacts on native white-tailed deer Gillespie County AgriLife Extension and Hill Country Alliance have launched the Axis Deer Control Project and are encouraging landowners and hunters to participate.

Axis deer are an exotic species that were introduced from India to the Texas Hill Country in the 1930s.

Since their introduction, this species has proliferated in several portions of Gillespie County, adversely impacting native wildlife, particularly white-tailed deer.

Exotic species such as Axis deer can out-compete native white-tailed deer because of their ability to shift their diet to grasses, once they have eaten desirable forbs and browse.

White-tailed deer, however, cannot switch their diet preference, and will eventually suffer from malnutrition if grass is the only available vegetation.

Joyce Moore, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist based in Gillespie County, said, “Axis deer and other free-ranging exotic ungulates pose a significant

threat to Hill Country ecosystems through a unique ability to adapt breeding seasons and forage preferences. These ‘adaptations’ have allowed them to expand their range to habitats historically occupied only by native species.”

Following a recent deer census for the Cave Creek Wildlife Management Association, local landowner, Ronnie Ottmers, expressed his concerns about the population growth of this exotic species.

“Over three nights, we counted 347 white-tailed deer and 546 Axis deer along our transects,” Ottmers said. “It’s ridiculous.”

Texas Tech University Ph.D. student, Matthew Buchholz, adds that Axis deer are also physically larger and more aggressive than native whitetailed deer.

They can browse on their hind legs between 6-7 feet and, when in herds that can exceed 150 animals, may physically displace white-tailed deer and other animals from optimal habitat and food sources.

The goal of the Axis Deer

Control Project is to raise awareness about the impacts of free-ranging Axis deer, to support research that will improve management, and recognize land stewards for their efforts to control this exotic species.

Axis deer may be hunted year-round with a hunting license; they may also be trapped.

Hunters and trappers are encouraged to bring a frozen ear from each harvested Axis deer to one of the scheduled drop-off points; ears will be used by a Buchholz, a graduate student at Texas Tech University, who is conducting genetic research that will enhance the understanding of the Axis deer population health and dynamics in the Hill Country.

Participants will be entered into a drawing for prizes donated by Lochte Feed General Store, Vogel Orchards, Los Cazadores, Weinheimer and Son, Hohmann General Store, Sweetbriar Rose, Cave Creek Wildlife Management Association and the Gillespie County

Shows will be on Friday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 16, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 17, at 2 p.m.

Both are abridged classical ballets of holiday classics.

with the next environmental study, at an estimated cost of $2 million and would take approximately three years (completed by 2025 at earliest); • County would then have to consider a bond issue, estimated at $50 million (a number presented six years ago, so cost could be significantly higher, $100 million); • County would then be responsible for contracting an independent entity to purchase rights-of-way (a two-year process, 2029); • Construction begins in 2030 and would be completed by 2035.

“Now the total of this thing is in your lap, so good luck, gentlemen,” Switzer said.

“We appreciate your presentation but you kind of put a damper on our day, Cord,” Gillespie County Judge Mark Stroeher said.

More information on the presentation from CIRR can be found in the Nov. 6 edition of the Fredericksburg StandardRadio Post or online at www. fredericksburgstandard.com.

County resident, presented commissioners with a children’s storybook scavenger hunt project.

Beicker, along with members of the Gillespie County Historical Society, has developed an illustrated children’s book that tells the story of the history of Gillespie County.

“This is going to showcase what a city and county have to offer through a scavenger hunt, which are becoming more popular throughout the United States,” she said. “I first heard of this idea when my family lived in Greenville, South Carolina, and it was a really fun way to get to know the town.”

Families and other participants would read the story and stop at different areas to find hidden bronze mockingbirds.

The scavenger hunt would end at the Pioneer Memorial Library, as it is a historical structure and brings people to the library.

“I want to keep kids and families on Main Street and keep Fredericksburg as a family destination,” Beicker said.

“And we wanted to do someTown scavenger hunt thing that was not disruptive Amy Beicker, a Gillespie to activities already taking

place on Main Street, but was a fun, challenge and unique activity for families.”

“I think this will really help get more kids to the library and introduce them back to the children’s sections,” Commissioner Charles Olfers, Pct. 1, said.

The project is likely to be completed by the time of the 175th anniversary, in 2021.

Other business

Commissioners also: • Agreed to make no changes to the Texas County and District Retirement System plans.

• Approved to transfer personnel from Pct. 2 to Pct. 3, hire personnel in Pct. 2, and advertise for personnel in Pct. 4.

• Approved a refund for a vehicle registration error in the tax assessor’s office.

• Cast votes for nominees to the Gillespie Central Appraisal District Board of Directors.

• Gillespie County Commissioners will meet Monday, Nov. 25, at 9 a.m. at the courthouse.

Results from the most recent TxDOT survey indicated that the preferred route had a 58% disapproval rate. Campbell also stated that many residents in the county are unaware of TxDOT’s plans and once they learn more, they disapprove of the project.

“With the project, a sizeable tax increase will have to be passed, which is no benefit to the residents,” Campbell said.

Campbell informed commissioners of plans proposed by the City of Fredericksburg that utilizes and extends existing roads.

Cord Switzer, a county liaison from the Gillespie County Relief Route Task Force, gave a projected timeline if a route was selected. He noted that TxDOT only gave survey options with different route choices, and excluded a “no route” option.

Based on information from Switzer and TxDOT, the following is an estimated timeline of the project: • Study completed by TxDOT completed by summer 2020; • City and county then decided whether or not to continue

he built a 20-foot tower near Tupelo, Mississippi, where he would stay for seven days.

He is now bringing the tower and the event to Fredericksburg.

For 168 hours, Burns will live in the three-story tower which will be located at Biedermann’s Ace Hardware, 1102 East Main Street. He will remain in the tower without touching the ground in an effort to raise funds and awareness to improve the lives of disabled veterans.

“Being on the tower during

Thanksgiving Week is a sacrifice but nothing compared to what our heroes have given, and continue to give,” Burns said.

Funds raised will be given to Purple Heart Homes to be used to help veterans in Texas.

Following his time in the

tower, The Victory Cup Polo Match and Hot Air Balloon Festival will be held at Altstadt Brewery and will include polo, live music, hot air balloons, food, drinks and more.

‘Holiday Prelude’ to kick off season at St. Joseph’s Halle “Holiday Prelude” will kick off the holiday season in Fredericksburg from 5:307:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, at St. Joseph’s Halle, 212 W. San Antonio St. Local chefs will create holiday hors d’oeuvres, which will be paired with Texas wines.

Participating Fredericksburg restaurants include August E’s, Cabernet Grill, Clear River, Emma + Ollie, Stout’s at Grape Creek and Woerner Warehouse & Catering. Feast & Merriment, a catering company located near Stonewall, will also be participating this year.

Treats from the chefs will be paired with tastings of fine wines from 4.0 Cellars, Becker Vineyards, Grape Creek Vineyards, Heath Sparkling Wine, Kuhlman Cellars, Lost Draw Cellars, Pedernales

Cellars, Pontotoc Vineyard and Texas Heritage Vineyard.

The evening’s culinary and wine pairings will be complimented with musical stylings on the piano by Tom Zeiher.

Wine glasses for the event are being sponsored by the GO TEXAN program of the Texas Department of Agriculture.

H-E-B is assisting with the table centerpieces. Trish Rawls of Creative Noggin designed the invitations.

“Holiday Prelude” ticket proceeds will benefit the planning and construction of facilities for the Texas Center for Wine and Culinary Arts (TCWCA) at the Hill Country University Center.

The new facility will house Texas Tech educational programming in viticulture, enology and local food and

wine production systems, as well as the newly announced program in hops and brewing science.

A “Red Stool Auction” during the evening will raise funds to support remodeling of the classroom space for the new culinary and hospitality program at Fredericksburg High School.

Some students from the culinary program will be in attendance and assist during the evening.

Tickets for this benefit holiday event are $75 per person and must be purchased in advance online at https://texascenterforwineandculinaryarts.com/events/ For more information, contact Martha Zeiher, administrator for TCWCA, at 830-990-8237, or email her at info@tcwca.com.

FISD TRUSTEES This bill states that districts are the ones who should address student truancy problems.

He said that as a last resort, a school could take a parent to court if his or her child has three absences in a four-week period or 10 absences in a sixmonth period, but beyond that, there isn’t much else they can do. It also puts a burden on assistant principals if that action is always taken, as it would take up most of their job duties.

After the meeting, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction Dr. Delesa Styles said with this law, “the state has become less punitive, making it harder for districts to enforce consequences.”

Wanek also said that schools usually see the same families in trouble with students being absent, and there’s no real theme as to why the children are absent.

Board president Brian Lehne asked if the board could help with anything, and Wanek responded by saying the consequences aren’t great enough to get parents’ attention.

Bilingual resources Another concern was the lack of bilingual instructional coaches and teachers, and Spanish teaching resources.

The FPS Campus Improvement Plan shows the need for additional bilingual support staff. This includes bilingual instructional coaches, bilingual reading specialists and

Cont. from A1

bilingual dyslexia teachers.

“Learning to read in Spanish is unique from learning to read in English,” said Patricia Rivera, director of Special Programs and Grants Administration. “The support of bilingual instructional coaches in the classrooms and during Professional Learning Community time will ensure teachers are supported and guided with effective teaching strategies.”

did that in the event that our revenue gain would be more than we thought it might be, but it might be less.”

She also said the district doesn’t have a lot of the numbers. The Texas Education Agency will not provide all of the dollar amounts until after data is remitted in December and January.

Because of TEA’s new way of calculating numbers like the amount of economically disadvantaged students in a district, Ottmers said the district is still unsure what everything is going to look like when dollar amounts are finalized.

Financial update FISD’s Board of Trustees also heard an update from assistant superintendent of business and finance Deborah Ottmers about the statement of revenues, expenditures and statement of fund balance.

Ottmers said the district had a lot of unanticipated revenues, which helps add to the fund balance.

“It’s good to have that added to the fund balance because this year is very uncertain,” Ottmers said, alluding to the unknown amount of revenue, due to the amount money the district will have to send back to the state in Robin Hood taxes.

Even with those revenues, Ottmers said the district is now only expected to see $800,000 in revenues, rather than the originally anticipated $1.2 million. Therefore, the district likely will not be able to give a cost of living adjustment to staff members this year.

“I don’t think it would be wise to add a cost of living adjustment,” Ottmers said. “We

Texans encouraged to help ‘End the Streak’ Editor’s Note: The following article was prepared by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and shared with the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post by Gillespie County Extension Agent Shea Nebgen.

_______ It has been 19 years since Texas could claim a day where there were no fatalities on our roads. The fatalities add up to nearly 70,000 people killed on Texas roadways over the past 19 years.

Every day in Texas nearly 10 people are killed in traffic crashes.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) the leading causes of these deadly crashes continue to be failure to stay in one lane, alcohol and speed.

TxDOT is promoting the “End the Streak” campaign to help end motor vehicle fatalities in Texas.

What if we all drove like the driver we would want in front of us, beside us and in back of us?

Ending this streak of needless tragedy on Texas road-

ways is a shared responsibility.

What if, for one day, everyone took responsibility for themselves and their friends and there were no drunk drivers on our roads?

And there was not one person driving somewhere to drink without a plan for a sober ride home — and no underage drunk drivers were to be found anywhere.

What if there were no distracted drivers on the road?

No teens were riding with other teens, which is the main source of their distractions and against the law according to the Graduated Driver License Law. What if no youth or adult was driving while using a cell phone and totally concentrating on their driving?

What if there was no driver speeding down the road and all were driving within the speed limit, including slowing down for construction and emergency vehicles, and driving more slowly and cautiously when weather conditions are bad?

What if we all took time to put on our seatbelts and make sure that all of our passengers were also buckled up.?

And, that all children were riding in the correct car seat for their age, weight and developmental stage.

What if the car seat had been inspected by a certified child passenger safety technician to make sure it was being used correctly and installed correctly?

What if there were no drowsy drivers on the road and every driver, including commercial drivers, made sure they were well rested and prepared for the trip?

What if every driver made sure their vehicle and tires were in good condition and everyone drove defensively and civilly so that every car was treated as if the lives of the people inside were important?

What if all drivers were looking out for each other?

What if all of these things could be done on the same day and Texas could once again enjoy a day where there was

Billies fall short of district gold FHS falls short of district championship after Lampasas loss

By Joshua McKinney Standard-Radio Post sports editor

Second-quarter problems kept the Battlin’ Billies from winning a championship.

Fredericksburg High School football lost to the Lampasas Badgers, 47-35, in a winner-takes-all District 14-4A DI title match on Friday at FHS Stadium.

The Billies started the game on fire and scored 14 points on two drives.

But Lampasas stayed with the Billies and took over to win the school’s first district championship since 2011.

“We just made too many mistakes,” FHS head coach Lance Moffett said. “I said all week that the team that’s going to make the most mistakes would lose and the team that made the least mistakes was going to win.

We made too many mental mistakes on both sides of the ball that would give them big plays. They’re a top 10 team in the state, and we played with them.”

Lampasas erased FHS’ promising 14-0 start to the game with Ace Whitehead touchdown passes to Jaylon

Porter and Michael Murray Jr. to tie the game early during the second quarter.

A sack on third-and-9 forced an FHS punt deep in the team’s territory.

The Billies fumbled the snap and Badgers safety Koby Allen forced an intentional ground penalty in FHS’ endzone, giving Lampasas a two-point lead with 7:39 left in the first half.

The Billies managed another score — a 12-yard TD pass from Tucker Elliott to Jud Beard — but Lampasas’ 23-point quarter left the home team trailing by nine.

FHS’ second half began just like the first.

Elliott broke through Lampasas’ defensive front for a 71-yard score to cut the lead to two.

The Billies’ defense held Lampasas to a field goal the next drive, staying within five points of the lead, but a fumble at the Badgers’ 45 led to another Lampasas offensive burst.

Whitehead threw a 45-yard TD pass to Murray on the following play to go ahead 12 points, and another Lampasas touchdown during the

fourth quarter spelled the end for FHS’ district title hopes.

Elliott shined against the Badgers on Friday night.

The senior threw for 137 passing yards and four TDs, and led FHS with a seasonhigh 176 rushing yards.

FHS sophomore Judson Beard led with 59 receiving yards and two TDs. Senior Jarrett Beard gained 54 yards of offense.

The Billies fought a threegame losing streak during non-district play to win five in a row and earn the program’s best district mark since 2013’s title season.

“I’m exceptionally proud of our kids,” Moffett said. “We were picked fourth and we played for first tonight. We’re second. We weren’t picked to do anything and we played for second place. We battled our tails off and we never quit. We didn’t put our heads down, and now we have a chance to go play for a bi-district title.”

Billies, Ricebirds clash for first time in playoffs

By Joshua McKinney Standard-Radio Post sports editor

Every week’s elimination week staring now.

The Fredericksburg High School Battlin’ Billies play the El Campo Ricebirds in a Class 4A bi-district football game at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Bastrop Memorial Stadium.

The arduous road to the postseason ended and now the third season begins.

FHS battled a three-game slide starting in Week 2 to win five straight games, including the first four district contests.

The win streak clinched a playoff berth and district silver, FHS’ highest football finish since 2013’s district title.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the way we performed,” head coach Lance Moffett said. “We were picked fourth and we played for first. Were it for a couple of things other than because they are a really good team and were it for our unforced errors, we eliminate a few mistakes and we’re district champs. No regrets, no disappointment.

I couldn’t be more proud of our team, leadership, coaches, the entire organization. I couldn’t be more proud of the

way we finished this season.”

FHS erased last year’s playoff miss to finish second in 14-4A DI this season and now play a third-place Ricebirds team from District 134A DI. “They run an old-school, power-run type of offense,” Moffett said. “What some people would call a West Coast offense. I wouldn’t say they’re one-dimensional, but they don’t throw it much because they don’t have to.

They’re typically ball control.”

A three-headed monster in the backfield leads El Campo’s offense, which tries to win with a possession-dominating run game.

Freshman tailback Rueben Owens is a star in the making and holds offers from LSU and Arkansas.

Sophomore fullback Johntre Davis is also talented, and Moffett says junior Charles Shorter might be the best of the group.

The trio matches speed with power running, which FHS hasn’t seen a lot of this season.

The Billies placed second in the East Central Hornets Invitational on Nov. 4 at Republic Golf Course in San Antonio.

FHS earned 335 strokes as a team, one behind tournament champions Smithson Valley.

“That is not too bad of a score, but for us to contend at state, we are going to have to shoot below 320,” coach Tim Kaman said. “We struggled in our short game today, so we are going to spend a lot of time working around the green.”

Denver Schneider finished second with a score of 75.

Colin Fairchild shot an 84, and Jaxon Langford and Caleb Kruse carded rounds of 88.

Michael Murray Jr. led Lampasas with eight receptions for 134 yards and three TDs. “It was two really good teams going at it for a district title,” Rogers said. “That’s what you want on the last game of district. You want a winners’ take all. Hats off to Fredericksburg. They’re tough and well coached. The kids played hard. It was a good ballgame.”

FHS hoops starts new year Senior guards, young talent set to lead Billies

By Joshua McKinney Standard-Radio Post sports editor

A youth movement might be what the Billies need to move past the regional quarterfinals this season.

Fredericksburg High School boys’ basketball’s roster is young on paper but brings talent from last year’s undefeated junior varsity team.

The Billies return one starter — three-year varsity player senior Ryan Davis — and a handful of seniors from last year’s co-district championship team.

Coach Tim Kaman expects Davis and fellow senior Gus Martin to take FHS’ reigns and guide them.

“Having Ryan and Gus and their experiences will help them lead this team,” Kaman said. “They should know exactly what I want and can help get that info to our younger kids. The bad thing that goes with that is that my expectations are greater on them because they are more experienced and should know what to do at all times.

“Both those guys are up to the challenge.”

Davis will be a problem for teams to defend, Kaman said, because of his athleticism and skill.

“We need him to stay in an aggressive but intelligent mode,” he said.

Martin provides the Billies with a strong perimeter

shooting game.

Reigning 28-4A Defensive Player of the Year Tucker Elliott also returns this season and hits the court as soon as football season ends.

“We are looking for him to continue that competitiveness and work ethic on defense to get our other guys to buy in and play hard all the time.

A dominant post presence is FHS’ glaring preseason need after Ethan Williams’ graduation.

Senior Jack Gallagher measures at 6-4 and has the size and strength to dominate the paint.

everything properly, they’re gone,” Moffett said. “They’re fast, they’re shifty. They have good vision and start-stop … they’re the real deal. Coach (Bill) Wilder told our defense they’re the best running backs we’ve seen all year.”

Senior Kerry North is El Campo’s best offensive lineman.

A team trying to dominate time of possession is weakest when knocked off schedule on first and second down.

“We have to force them into uncomfortable situations,” Moffett said. “We have to force them to get behind the chains and be in third-and-long, second-and-long situations, and I think our defense can do it.

I think our defensive line is as good as anybody they’ve played.”

FHS’ defensive line of Zach Gallagher, Christian Avilez, Brant Sasko, Zachary Wubbolding, Davis Reeh and Landon West have to dominate the line of scrimmage to give the Billies a chance.

On defense, El Campo runs a 4-2-5 with plenty of speed to cover the entire field.

“They move around a lot and try to make you make a mistake on offense,” Moffett said. “(They want to) get the ball back and try to do another long drive, go score again.”

Shorter and Owens also lead El Campo’s secondary.

Senior defensive tackles Javien Williams and Dontavian Bluntson provide a one-two punch up front.

Fredericksburg High School boys’ cross country ended the season with a top 10 finish.

FHS earned ninth place in the UIL Class 4A State Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Nov. 9, at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock.

“It was near perfect weather conditions and a great way for our boys’ team to finish the season as they raced to earn the ninth place spot in the 4A Division,” coach Dan Aldrich said. “We came in ranked as the 15th out of the 16 qualifying teams and to finish in the top 10 was a perfect ending to our season. As a team we had our best team average of the season, which was 16:56.”

Senior Troy Kneese ended his lone cross country season with a 36th-place finish, the Billies’ best at the meet.

Sophomores Khristian Torres and Kaleb Torres came in as FHS’ No. 2 and 3 runners at 48th and 66th place, respectively.

Freshman Ray Romero (98th), junior Miles Hammond (121st), senior Graham Hammond (125th) and sophomore Kade Jenschke (139th) rounded out FHS’ state qualifying side.

team without four experienced players.

Kaman thinks the combination of 4A and 5A schools and need for younger players to step up early will help prepare FHS for district.

“I think that our schedule will get us ready for district,” Kaman said. “We will play some games early without some due to football playoffs, so it will give some opportunities for others to get experience. We will play 4A/5A teams with different styles.”

FHS also hosts an Australian team in December.

“Last time we did that, the team from Australia had four

DI players, so it really helped us,” Kaman said.

FHS also plays in the Poteet Varsity Tournament and Midland Greenwood Varsity Tournament, in addition to the annual Fredericksburg Roundball Reunion Tournament on Dec. 27-28.

District 28-4A play starts Jan. 17 against the Wimberley Texans.

The Texas Association of Basketball Coaches picked the Boerne Greyhounds to win the district and FHS to finish second.

FHS and Boerne tied for the 28-4A championship last season.

As always, FHS’ goal is district gold.

“I think we have a great chance to win district again, but we just need to worry about ourselves,” Kaman said. “That is the only thing we can control. If we play like we are supposed to play, then I will be fine with where we end up, which better be holding the trophy at the end.”

Wimberley is TABC’s No. 3 team.

Kaman thinks the Texans will surprise after returning six juniors who played heavy minutes last season.

Canyon Lake is ranked No. 4.

Kaman expects a lot out of the new crop of Billies ballers heading to varsity.

“One of the things that helped them be successful last year is that they went toe to toe every day in practice against our varsity, which I felt made both teams better,” Kaman said. “They all bring something to the table in making us a better team.”

Eagles fly past regular season Heritage wins district, carries perfect mark into playoffs Heritage Eagles will carry a perfect record and district title into the postseason.

The Eagles defeated Living Rock Academy, 52-6, on Friday at Shipman Field in Fredericksburg.

Coach Tim Shipman said Living Rock gave the Eagles their toughest test of the football season, so far.

“Credit goes to Living Rock for stretching us a bit,” Shipman said. “They are a wellcoached and bunch of classy kids. I was very proud of our guys. They are such a joy to coach. They inspire. Their mountain this week was coming off a big win against Cedar Park and a big week of activities. They battled up that mountain.

“They focused, came out ready for the best shot Living

Rock could give us.”

For a 10th consecutive game, Heritage held the opposing offense to one score and ended the game through the mercy rule.

In this contest, the Eagles only needed three quarters to beat their third and final district opponent for the TAPPS 3-DIII championship.

“This is a big deal to us,” Shipman said. “This is a goal on our pyramid that we strive for every year. It eluded us last year and these guys were determined to become district champs. That started in the weight room many months ago. Tonight, we realized that goal and it wasn’t handed to us; we earned it. We left no doubt and it is a joy to see the boys soak that up. Hard work pays off.”

Lady Eagles volleyball falls in second round Heritage ended the volleyball season with a secondround playoff loss.

The Lady Eagles lost to Bellville Faith Academy in three sets on Oct. 30 in Bellville.

“We really started connecting and playing up the last few matches of the season,” coach Tonya Morrow said.

“After defeating San Angelo Cornerstone and San Marcos Hill Country in their gyms, and then San Antonio Gateway two days later at home,

ST. MARY’S off to a slow start in this one, turning the ball over multiple times and missing a few open looks at the basket,” said Coach Rick Loth. “The boys did a great job of adjusting at the half and played very well in the second half.”

Next game: 4:30 p.m.

the girls were right where we had hoped for at this time.

Unfortunately, Bellville was a defensive and offensive force that we couldn’t stop. We did not play well, and communication on the back row was off.

“Errors were made and the girls were tired, but ended the season in the second round with a bi-district win.”

Heritage beat San Antonio Gateway in three sets during the bi-district round of the playoffs.

Heritage sophomore John Fritzsch ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns, and took an interception to the house for another score.

Junior Joshua Hoermann and sophomore Caden Bray both scored two rushing TDs. Junior Sam Richburg tallied his third interception on defense this week.

Heritage celebrated senior night Friday and honored the team’s three seniors: Noah Given, Eli Christensen and Luke Roberts.

“These guys have given so much of their time, effort and energy to this team and this program,” Shipman said.

“They have grown so much as young men. They get it. They get the Heritage way. Each one of them brings different talents and strengths to the

team. It is amazing how fast time goes. I remember very well when these three guys were in junior high. I couldn’t be more proud of the way these three guys are conducting themselves.

“They all three have very bright futures and it will be exciting to see how the Lord uses them as they graduate and go out into the world.”

Heritage starts postseason play with a first-round game against Tyler East Texas Christian starting at noon Saturday, Nov. 16, at Shipman Field.

“We are very excited about going undefeated in the regular season,” Shipman said.

“We are very aware that from here on out you either win or go home. This is a very fun time of year and we are eager

to get started with the playoffs.”

The Eagles enter playoffs as sixmanfootball.com’s No. 1 TAPPS DIII team and No. 16 in all combined divisions.

East Texas Christian ranks No. 16 in TAPPS DIII. Baytown Christian (No. 2), Cedar Park Summit (No. 3), Weatherford Christian (No. 4) and Bulverde Living Rock (No. 5) round out TAPPS DIII’s top five.

Record: 6-3 (3-1 in district).

Coach’s comment: “Though we played really well defensively,” coach Adam Riley said. “We gave up two explosive plays, one off of a tipped pass, but aside from that, it was a great effort. We put our offense in a lot of good field position situations with our defensive effort. It was a cold and wet night, so field position and the opportunities that come with that were a big part of our victory. Offensively, we did a great job of controlling the ball and the clock, especially in the second half.

We were able to run the ball late in the game to extend the lead after the tipped-ball touchdown from them. I was extremely proud of the effort our offensive line showed late in the game.

“Great to end the season with a victory. Outstanding job, guys.”

can roll perfect dinner rolls with either hand. At the same time.

It’s a skill I picked up as a prep cook at a fancy restaurant where I worked in college. They were known for their delicious dinner rolls, and it was my job to turn them out by the hundreds. It was slow going at first, with most of my attempts lopsided or undersized.

The lady who had worked there for years laughed at my output, then patiently taught me the technique.

This lost skill came back to me when I attended a Native Plant Society of Texas class on making seed balls. Basically, you dump a wildseed mix into mud and roll it into hail-sized balls. Once dry, you put them out to slowly breakdown and germinate.

As I deftly turned out a dozen perfect seed balls, I contemplated what other inconsequential skills we learn that later turn out to be consequential.

My favorite example is typing.

Back in high school, I was faced with an empty slot in my schedule where I needed an elective. I carried a very full load, so decided to take touch typing. My thought process was that when I went to college I would be typing lots of papers. I didn’t realize there would be word processors, then computers, and that I eventually would FULL HOUSE ▶ C5

County School ‘Friends’ complete photo project Friends of Gillespie County Country Schools’ two-year aerial photography project is complete.

The project, initiated by Dr. Alice White, features aerial photoraphs of 16 historic schools, including the 12 Friends of Gillespie County Country Schools. It was funded by White’s Phi Beta Kappa Alumni Association of Greater Austin to develop Friends’ archives of country school education.

These photos, taken by local Rotarian and photographer Riaan Odendaal, will be presented to each of the schools and placed in the Friends of Gillespie County Country Schools Archives and Artifacts depository.

“Aerial photographs provide fresh views for publicity, documentation of buildings and grounds and will be useful when applying for grants or developing future collaborative projects,” a spokesperson said.

Schools included are Cave Creek, Cherry Spring, Crabapple, Lower South Grape Creek, Luckenbach, Meusebach Creek, Nebgen, Pecan Creek, Rheingold, Williams Creek, Willow City and Wrede. Also included in this project were Cherry Mountain School, Doss School and the Vereins Kirche, the first school in Gillespie County.

Additional aerial views of Gillespie County historical schools are planned.

Friends of Gillespie County Country Schools acknowledged the completion of a two-year-long aerial photos project during their Nov. 4 board of directors meeting. Pictured from left, are Rose Cox of Cave Creek School, Sandra Jacoby of Nebgen

Camp Invention announces 2020 program Camp Invention’s recently announced 2020 program, “Elevate,” will allow campers to bring home a robot.

The new program will have campers explore principles of flight, design sports facilities and protect ecosystems.

Camp Invention, a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF) in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, provides an experience for children to make discoveries about the importance of intellectual property while exploring, creating and designing.

The camp promotes science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning; builds leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness; and encourages entrepreneurship.

“‘Elevate’ is part of Camp Invention’s yearly program, which features a new curriculum inspired by some of the nation’s greatest inventors who have been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame,” said a spokesman for the program. “This year’s program will include video challenges from these inventors encouraging children to be confident in their ideas and explore their ability to innovate.”

The hands-on modules include:

• Camp Invention Flight Lab: Children will learn about flight with gliders, rockets, heliballs and handcopters. They will build a cityscape from upcycled materials, navigate planes through a storm and take apart a robot.

• Design Thinking Project: Campers learn the value of their creativity as they bring their ideas

OPTIMIST

to life. They will create sketches, build prototypes, design logos and find out how to pitch their invention while protecting their intellectual property.

• Rescue Squad: Using teamwork and problem-solving skills, children protect the Earth’s ecosystems.

Activities include creating pods to compete in zipline races, exploring energy conservation, eliminating pollution and helping wildlife in habitats across the country.

IT’S ON! Considerations

Now in theaters Nov. 13-19, 2019

A funny thing about Hitler Cinematic C omedy is the ultimate playground for escapism, for letting the worries and cares of daily life fade away in order to decompress and unwind.

The best comedies, though, usually have unexpectedly a little bit more to say on their minds than first glance might suggest.

There’s a hysterical new comedy hitting theaters this fall that combines a stellar, side-splitting screenplay and award-worthy performances.

It’s also about Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust.

“Jojo Rabbit,” the latest creation from avant-garde New Zealand writer/director/ actor Taika Waititi, is brazenly unlike any other movie in 2019, boldly colorful and wildly subversive, a constant romp of a good time sure to put a smile on many adults’ faces this fall.

Loosely adapted from the 2008 novel “Caging Skies”

by Christine Leunens, “Jojo Rabbit” peers into the world of Nazi Germany through the eyes of 10-year-old Johannes, a deeply patriotic boy attending his first Hitler Youth camp alongside his imaginary friend, a childlike caricature of Adolf Hitler.

After finding a Jewish girl in hiding, Jojo’s world chang-

es drastically.

Making his feature film debut, Roman Griffin Davis is a perfect protagonist for Waititi’s dark comedy. Easy to root for in spite of the outrageous venom that spews from the mouth of a Hitler youth, Davis displays genuine heart and naivety that transcends the hate and allows the dialogue to feel comically satirical.

The openness Davis brings to his performance works wonders with the film’s female cast, especially Scarlett Johannson in a winning supporting turn as Jojo’s mother and indie darling Thomasin McKenzie as Elsa, the Jewish teen in hiding Jojo stumbles upon.

Waititi assembles a terrific supporting cast to bring the humor while maintaining dramatic heart with Oscar winner Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson and Stephen

Merchant as a Gestapo agent as standouts among the secondary characters.

As is the case with many of his films, however, the comedic scene-stealer in “Jojo Rabbit” is Waititi himself, demonstrably absurd and quirky as the imaginary Adolf. Waititi brilliantly creates this version of the Nazi leader through the mind of his 10-year-old title character, which gives his Adolf a buffoonish quality for comedy.

This also allows audiences to peer inside Jojo’s mind as he grows and changes over the course of the film, with Waititi’s Adolf reflecting the inner conflict of a child in war-torn Germany in a sensationally original way.

“Jojo Rabbit” is smarter both as a film and a screenplay than its colorful, simplistic exterior might suggest.

It’s true that Waititi’s latest feature is creatively absurdist and revels in the comedy of truly hateful speech.

It also has earth-shattering moments of poignancy in stark reminder that the lessons of the past need to be heeded lest they return. The film’s unofficial moniker of being an “anti-hate satire” is incredibly apt.

The satirical ridiculous-

‘Jojo Rabbit’ a wonderful satire of Nazi Germany for modern audiences

Taika Waititi and Roman Griffin Davis star as a young boy in Nazi Germany and his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, in the anti-hate satire “Jojo Rabbit,” now in limited theaters.

ness of “Jojo Rabbit” lands big laughs throughout, but there’s some unintended collateral damage that may find audiences uncomfortably giggling at Jewish stereotypes in a more derogatory fashion than one might find in a Mel Brooks film.

However, there’s a deceptive amount of heart to the film, thanks in large part to Davis’ brilliant innocence in the title role and Johannson’s earnest compassion. “Jojo Rabbit” may be a lighthearted romp for most of its 100-minute

running time, but it packs a wallop of dramatic punch at the core of the film.

It’s quite conceivable that an outlandish, almost garish satire like “Jojo Rabbit” could be a major player come awards season as Waititi’s movie is certainly one of the 10 best films of 2019.

An outside contender for a Best Picture Oscar nomination, the film is more likely to receive an adapted screenplay nod than anything else, although Johannson’s strong work here should boost her

nomination and win chances for a leading role in the upcoming Netflix drama “Marriage Story.”

Boldly creative in the style of Wes Anderson but with his own satirical quirks, Waititi’s “Jojo Rabbit” is among 2019’s best films and a movie certainly worth seeking out on the nearest big screen.

Another elective I took for fun was Spanish. I say fun because this was in Iowa. The only Spanish speaker I knew was Maria on Sesame Street.

Little did I know I would end up in South America teaching school. That Spanish 101 came in handy, although for the first two weeks I survived on “arroz con pollo” because that was the only food phrase I knew.

Some of the skills we resisted learning turned out to be the most handy. In our junior high, all the girls had to take

a shop class, and all the boys a homemaking class. With a surprising minimum of shoulder punching, we learned to make tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, and to sew our own aprons, complete with pockets and belt. To this day I can sew on a button that won’t fall off.

In college, to fill that pesky PE credit, I became quite adept at bowling, badminton, and paddleball. Some of my favorite electives were the dance classes, including ballet. Who could know one day I would do a turn as Herr Drosselmeier in “The Nutcracker” (happening this

weekend at Fredericksburg Theater Company, by the way).

Some skills came from working our first menial jobs.

That is the real value of being waitresses and fence builders and house painters and manure scoopers. You not only pick up handy tips like how to crimp barbed wire, use a paint roller, or drive a manual transmission, you learn to put up with mediocre co-workers and abusive bosses — all handy in whatever field you eventually enter.

Farmer’s Market ends Thursday Fredericksburg Farmer’s Market will end its fall season of bringing locally grown and produced foods on Thursday, Nov. 21.

f you’re looking for the birthplace of one allAmerican Thanksgiving food tradition, you might end up looking far beyond those Plymouth Rock-Pilgrims to Larsa, a city that happens to be in modern-day Iraq. You can gaze with curiosity and wonder at a 3,700-year-old clay tablet that contains not the famous Ten Commandments of Moses but a recipe for a roasted bird with a softened-bread dressing on the side.

Closer in time, and much closer to our cultural comfort zone, the ancient Romans never met a bird they didn’t like — to stuff, that is.

They at least showed no confusion about “on the side” vs. “inside.” They almost always stuffed. The rest of us, with a nod toward where we grew up or presently live, show naming confusion in the same abundance we love to see on our tables whenever the big feast rolls around.

With our heritage in the Greco-Roman Western world, it’s a safe bet that stuffing is the more traditional. And “softened bread” that’s stuffed into turkey is logically called “stuffing,” which indeed it is in New England, that part of our country that claims the oldest links to the then-global empire mentioned in the re-

CULINARY ADVENTURE

JOHN DeMERS

gion’s name.

Some food historians, however, think that the prudish tendencies of the Old South led home cooks to back away from all that intimate cavityfilling to bake what once had been stuffing in a separate pot or dish. Rather quickly, again with a nod to propriety, “stuffing” was born again as dressing, typically made with omnipresent cornbread instead of traditional flourbased loaves and rolls. There are even records of dressing made with leftover biscuits, and it’s hard to think of anything more Southern than that.

The most dramatic departure might be the Mennonites of Pennsylvania, who were so thrifty they mashed up a mountain of boiled potatoes and stirred this into equal mountains of stale bread. Apparently as a sign of something different, since neither “stuffing” nor “dress-

ing” mentions any ingredient, they called their creation “filling.” It’s actually as much a potato casserole, but it too can be part of the American Thanksgiving tradition.

Also showing regional influence is the addition of products found in abundance, meaning cheaply, instead of products expensive because they have to be shipped in. Oysters are a prime example, which figure (along with chestnuts) in the bread stuffing of New England and the cornbread dressing of New Orleans.

Pork was the favored protein in the South, thus explaining the popularity of bacon or sausage, or both. In the Pacific Northwest, many recipes came to include a vast array of local fish and shellfish, starting no doubt with salmon.

Surely wars have been fought over less divisive issues than whether you say stuffing or dressing. You should at least make an effort to say what you actually do — especially in a world in which so many households dump the pre-mixed contents from a bag and cook it atop their stoves. Despite the large brand name on the bag, that would make it dressing.

Just ask the people of ancient Larsa.

Sausage and Pear Holiday Dressing We sometimes catch ourselves thinking that old song, “Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better” is true of pears and apples. Apples are a traditional part of many families’ Thanksgiving dressing recipes, but not many think to try pears instead. For this recipe, we mix cubes of fresh pear into our mix of breads, caramelized vegetables, sausage and one of our favorite preserves.

Lightly caramelize the onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and green onions in olive oil until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the cooked sausage, pears garlic and preserves, stirring to blend with the vegetables.

They don’t eat fish. They eat very small zooplankton (tiny animal plankton) that they catch on these arms. Like all jellies, the pulsing of their bells helps to swirl plankton into their arms where they will sting their prey and eat it through the tiny mouths.

The loss of a mentor I

’m a firm believer that people come into your life for a reason.

Dr. Creighton Miller came into mine to be the father I needed and wanted.

I first met him through his son, Creighton Miller III. We swam together for Bryan High School in the late 1980’s and became fast friends. I recall first meeting Dr. Miller one afternoon after giving his son a ride home after swim practice.

The good doctor was an imposing man size wise but carried an air of calm gentleness and Southern hospitality that was delivered via his actions and excruciatingly thick Louisiana drawl.

I knew he was a professor at Texas A&M when I met him but didn’t know in what field. When I asked at that first meeting, he balled up his ham-sized fists and repeatedly banged them together and said, “I breed potatoes.”

The fact that he didn’t actually use the word breed but instead used a word that begins with “F” sent my teenage body into heavy convulsions of laughter.

Our relationship was cement-

ed that day. It grew over the next three decades.

Dr. Miller told me stories of his growing up hunting and fishing in Louisiana, took me skeet shooting for the first time, and to numerous Aggie football games. He encouraged me to succeed and to follow my passion for writing and adventure when no one else in my life did and didn’t hesitate to lecture me — even as an adult — when I screwed up.

He was far more a father to me than my own ever was and he became a mentor to me in far too many ways to count.

As a horticulturist, Dr. Miller established a successful potato breeding program for Texas and developed or codeveloped 19 potato varieties as well as the Texas Pinkeye Purple Hull and Golden Eye Cream cowpeas and the TexSprout mungbean. If you’ve

ever put a Norgold Russet M, Century Russet, Stampede Russet, or Sierra Gold potato in your mouth, it was thanks to Dr. Miller.

Because of this, and his continuous effort to improve upon his work, he was often cited as being the best in the world at what he did. One night, I asked Dr. Miller’s son, Creighton, what it felt like to have a dad that was considered the best in the world at something.

Creighton answered the question with the understanding that I was asking about his father’s career in potatoes. I wasn’t. I was asking about Dr. Miller being the best in the world at being a father.

Dr. Miller died at the age of 79 on Nov. 3, 2019. His daugh-

ter, Jennifer, told me at the visitation that her father had left me a rifle and that, “He really wanted you to have it.”

The moment caught me off guard, and in my grief, I actually found the gesture insulting. Him leaving me a tangible object seemed ridiculous given that he knew he had given me far, far more during our 35year relationship. I didn’t need a firearm to remember him.

I remember him every day in my effort to be a better man and better father than the one I am. He set a high bar to follow. I will miss him greatly.

Thanks to Texans, state parks get a win Diverting of funds became a common, but sorry practice for lawmakers

‘Ships’ out of harbor provides perspective

O

ne thing that has annoyed us over the past decade or so has been the “poor-boying” of our Texas state parks system.

At one point, we visited Enchanted Rock State Natural Area and were met with a money box asking for donations to the state parks with a photo of the burned Bastrop State Park trees. This implied the money would go to the fireravaged park, but funds were used to help patch together aging park infrastructure.

Our state legislature should have been taking care of our parks, which are always some of the most visited attractions in any part of the state. Enchanted Rock SNA hosts roughly 300,000 visitors each year, and those visitors contribute a substantial amount to our local economy.

So kudos, Texas voters, for ensuring a steady revenue stream on Nov. 5 by approving State Constitutional Amendment No. 5. That dedicates all of the revenue made through a sporting goods sales tax to the parks system and the Texas Historical Commission. The change will dedicate all of the revenue to state parks and historic sites and the legislature will no longer be able to dip its hand in the revenue cookie jar.

And thanks to State Sen. Lois Kolkhorst and State Rep. John Cyrier for championing the legislation in each house.

In his 2012 book “On Politics and Parks,” George Bristol, a foremost authority on state and national parks, describes how lawmakers raided the fund with lastminute bill riders, steering parks money to their district for pet projects. Then they could claim more money for their district with no tax increase. Other funds were diverted for non-park designation, such as $25 million for a beach erosion project.

Bristol writes: “Further ‘borrowing’ of these revenues not only invited additional criticism, it is a corruption of original intent. It seems that each session of the legislature has one or more culprits who want to ‘borrow’ just a little from the sporting goods sales tax revenues without hearings or justification, even before the basic needs of parks are met.”

Parks were basically viewed as a nicety

90+ Number of Texas state parks 630,000 Acreage of park holdings $800 million Annual economic impact no more important than a roadside rest stop. And that, of course, discounted the years or decades of work and was a slap in the face to individuals who, in many cases, donated land for a state park.

We’re glad voters got fed up with this and put a lock box on the sporting goods sales tax revenue.

Does all this mean we’ll never be asked for another donation? No, not at all.

In fact, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation is spearheading an effort to raise $9 million to open a new state park in north Texas, Palo Pinto Mountains State Park. That will be a public-private partnership to open a 4,421-acre park, 75 miles west of Fort Worth. It should be yet another attraction featuring native beauty for hiking, camping, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing and stargazing.

And it will be a boon to the rural area’s economy.

And parks will still need help from dedicated “Friends” groups, such as Friends of Enchanted Rock, which saves the parks system hundreds of thousands in volunteer repairs, maintenance and project funding.

But even where private donations will continue to be needed, at least voters decided our state parks won’t continue to be the red-headed stepchild of the state budget.

Another amendment item that seemed to drive many to the polls was Proposition 5, to make it more difficult to instill a state income tax. Some said it was unnecessary since it already would be difficult (in Texas, at least) to get one.

But this just shows that pocketbook issues get people’s attention. And Texans don’t generally like others’ hands on their own pocketbooks. – K.E.C.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY On Nov. 13, 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated in Washington after a march to its site by thousands of veterans of the conflict. The long-awaited memorial was a simple V-shaped black-granite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict, arranged in order of death, not rank, as was common in other memorials.

The John A. Shedd quote “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for,” was a quote that was repeated at the end of each summer camp year by the executive director at Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp in Colorado.

He talked about how camp, or home rather, can be a safe haven, a place where you are comfortable making friends, growing and having little worry about adult responsibilities. But as the quote states, that is not what life is meant to be. As humans, we are meant to explore and see new places.

Growing up, my family would take a vacation a few times a year. Sometimes this would mean going to visit family in Arizona or California or striking another national park off our list.

We would pack the minivan and drive, looking out the window while listening to Harry Potter on tape.

Our vacations often involved family or friends, a chance to reconnect and make memories.

Thanksgivings were either spent in California or Colorado with my dad’s extended family cramming under one roof.

Christmas was a time to go to warmer places, seeing the deserts of Arizona.

Vacations brought a chance to get out of the harbor.

As I got older, taking time away was something I wanted to make a priority.

In early October, my husband and I headed to the Pacific Northwest to visit friends and family.

Our friends, Beth and

Mile High Thoughts McKenzie Moellering

Evan, recently moved to the Portland area for a three-year medical school residency, and generously hosted us.

We had no real plans set in stone, other than enjoying company and exploring a new city.

Seth and I took a walk in the cool fall air, sipping on hot, locally brewed coffee. We took in sights of the giant traffic bridge, one direction of traffic moving above the traffic moving in the opposite direction.

We spent time in a locally owned and operated bookstore called Powell’s City of Books. The store takes up an entire city block, and is the largest used and new bookstore in the world, containing around one million books.

The store has nine different rooms and multiple levels. You could spend days in there and still discover something new.

Our trip was not one without trying local foods.

We ate lunch at the Elephants Delicatessen, enjoying one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches. We sipped beers from one of Portland’s many local craft breweries. To top it off, we had ice cream from Salt and Straw, an ice cream chain specializing in unusual ice cream flavors like olive oil, corn on the cob or my favorite, snickerdoodle cookie.

One of my favorite parts was heading to the coast, walking

around Canon Beach where the movie The Goonies was filmed. We went on a fivemile hike through the forest, admiring the massive trees and greenery.

On the way back to the city, we stopped at the Tillamook Creamery, learning about how cheese is made.

We tasted a variety of cheeses, buffet-style, an experience that was like heaven on earth.

(For those that know me, cheese is my favorite food.)

My sister joined us for a day in Seattle before heading to Whidbey Island, where my grandmother has lived for the last three years.

We marveled at another bridge, Deception Pass, after sipping on local beers from Anacortes Brewery.

We learned about local history at Fort Casey Historical State Park, a 467-acre park with a lighthouse and a cliffside gun battery used during World Wars I and II. And when we weren’t outside, we were playing endless games of Yahtzee.

All of these things allowed us to see new places, eat new foods and make new memories.

Having time away, reminded us to sit back and relax, encouraging us to leave our comfort zones and see new places, all the while reuniting us with the people that mean the most to us.

It gave us a chance to have a change of scenery, to take our ships out of the harbor.

Cash report is released The State of Texas finished the 2019 fiscal year with

unspent revenue, according to a new report.

Texas Comptroller Glen Hegar on Nov. 4 announced the publication of the State of Texas Annual Cash Report, a 458-page document, for the fiscal year that ended Aug. 31.

The report, summarized in a cover letter to Gov. Greg Abbott, presents the state’s financial condition and details revenues and expenditures on a cash basis as required by state law.

The Consolidated General Revenue Fund ended the year with a cash balance in the state treasury of $8.4 billion, an increase of $3.9 billion, or 88.1%, from fiscal 2018.

The change in the balance, Hegar said, is largely due to an increase in tax collections.

Hegar estimates revenue Comptroller Hegar on Nov. 4 reported state sales tax revenue totaled $2.82 billion in October, 7% more than in October 2018.

Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in October 2019 was up 4.1% compared to the same period a year ago. Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 57% of all tax collections.

Believing Lena may have drowned, Frau Hildesmuller began to cry. Then she heard a faint voice coming from the rear of Fritz’s wagon. There was little Lena, half asleep, hidden among the mail sacks.

Frau Hildesmuller’s sobs turned to tears of joy.

No one was more surprised to see Lena than Fritz. “How did you get in the wagon?” he asked.

“The prince brought me,” Lena replied. “I always knew he would. Last night he came with his armed knights and captured the ogre’s castle.

They broke the dishes and kicked down the door. They pitched Mr. Maloney into a rain barrel and threw flour all over Mrs. Maloney. Then the prince came up, wrapped me in bedclothes and carried me away. He was tall and strong.

His face was rough as a scrubbing brush. He had a soft, kind voice, and he smelled like schnapps. I fell asleep in his arms and woke up here.”

“Rubbish,” cried Fritz. “Fairy Tales.”

What transparency?

In a recent letter, the writer stated that Trump has increased the federal government’s accountability and transparency.

He promised two years ago to release his tax returns “after the audit is completed.” Is that still ongoing?

Now he is fighting in the courts to keep it from getting made public. Why? What is he hiding? Does he have two sets of books, one for taxes and one for loans?

Why would only Deutsche Bank do business with him and lend him $100 million to buy his precious Doral property in 2012? Too many times bankrupt?

Bad credit risk?

What was really said during that famous telephone conversation with the Ukrainian president? Why was only a “rough draft” of the “beautiful” conversation released to the public and the original transcript is locked up in a secure computer? “Fake news,” again.

I understand he has “great and unmatched wisdom” and is a “brilliant strategist.” Is that why he is stonewalling every effort to get to the truth? Is that transparency? To me it seems more like a case of “where there is smoke, there is fire.” And we need to be able to see through the smoke and put out the fire, for the sake of this country!

he writer O. Henry was naturally curious.

Wherever he went he spent a lot of time soaking up the local flavor. His stories came from hotel lobbies, dance halls, saloons, park benches and lamp posts. Each story was a window into the world he was living in at the time.

Born William Sydney Porter in 1860, O. Henry was one of the world’s great story tellers. At age 19 he came to Texas from his home in North Carolina, spending time in San Antonio, Austin and Fredericksburg.

In San Antonio he published a newspaper called The Rolling Stone. His readers enjoyed the poems, cartoons and funny stories although the San Antonio Germans occasionally scolded him for what they perceived as unflattering images of their culture.

O. Henry came to Fredericksburg sometime in the 1880s to collect subscriptions for The Rolling Stone.

Mrs. Dora Reagan, granddaughter of Captain Charles Nimitz, recalled hearing her grandfather tell of O. Henry spending days at the Nimitz Hotel.

Just about everyone who likes to read has his or her favorite O. Henry story. My favorite, “A Chaparral Prince,” came from that that road trip to Fredericksburg.

Charles T. ‘Jack’ Miller

December 30, 1925 - November 5, 2019 Charles T. “Jack” Miller, Fredericksburg, TX, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019, at the age of 93, surrounded by family.

Jack was born in Hobart, Oklahoma, Dec. 30, 1925, and moved with his family at age 5 to the Rio Grande Valley, to escape the Great Depression and dust bowl days of dry land farming. Settling in McAllen, Jack enjoyed riding his bicycle to deliver newspapers and visit relatives who lived in the area.

Graduating from McAllen High School in 1943, he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1944 and soon joined the war effort in the European theatre. After V.E. Day, he was transferred to California to prepare for the invasion of Japan, being thankful his assignment there was part of the American occupation force.

His fondest memory of California was hitching a ride with his buddies to see Joe DiMaggio and the Yankees play spring ball in San Francisco, leading to a lifelong loyalty to the Yankees. He loved sports and the Texas Longhorns, having season football tickets for 30-plus years.

He returned to McAllen after the war and married the true love of his life, Marjorie Rossow, in 1947. They had two children, Pamela and Gary. Family vacations across the country were an annual summer event, often staying with relatives in Georgia, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Arizona. And of course, trips to Longhorn and Astros games, including the opening spring games in the new Astrodome against the visiting Yankees.

Working with the U.S. Post Office from 1947 as a part-time employee to retirement as McAllen Postmaster in 1978, he oversaw many changes. After retirement, Jack and Marjorie moved to Fredericksburg, along with two other postal retirees, where he worked in real estate and preparing income taxes for H&R Block. He loved Fredericksburg and the Texas Hill Country.

In his retirement years, we saw a “grand” daddy turn into the ultimate granddaddy, to one granddaughter and three grandsons.

Taking the extended families to Colorado, Yellowstone and other summer trips mixed in with Longhorn sports of all types. And seldom did he miss a game or event the grandkids played. He proudly attended their graduations, from high schools and colleges. He later became great-granddaddy to two great-grandchildren, who adored him (and his pockets full of cookies). The love for his grandkids and great-grandkids was only equaled by the love for his “babe” who he now joins in Heaven.

Jack was a lifelong member of the Methodist Church. In 1951, he and Marjorie were part of a group planting a new

Methodist church in McAllen, St. Mark Methodist. Jack joined the Hill Country Memorial Hospital Wellness Center shortly after it opened and continued to work out regularly until the week before his death. He also was a regular at the Old German Bakery where he told stories of his life to his “younger” buddies.

Jack was a protector, teacher, shepherd, patriarch, and friend to many. He always believed in social justice and especially Jesus’ command to love God and to love neighbor! He loved us all well until his last breath.

Jack is survived by his daughter, Pamela K. Traver Hilburn and husband, Randall, of Fredericksburg, Texas; son, Gary S. Miller and wife, Teresa, of Kingsland, Texas; four grandchildren, Christi Traver Pahl and husband, Cody; Wesley Traver and wife, Kate; Charles “Chuck” Traver and wife, Jenn; and Charles “Chip” Miller; two greatgrandchildren, Lyla and Ryder Traver. He is also survived by his special niece, Patricia Baumgartner and husband, Joe, and nephew, Mark Norton and wife, Rebecca.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jimmie T. Miller and Florence E. Miller; his wife, Marjorie Lee Miller; his sister-inlaw, Bernell Norton, and brother-in-law, Alan Norton.

Visitation was held on Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, from 9-10:30 a.m. at Fredericksburg United Methodist Church.

Funeral services were held on Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, at 10:30 a.m. in the Fredericksburg United Methodist Church with the Rev. George Lumpkin officiating.

Graveside services and interment followed at Greenwood Cemetery.

Wesley Traver, Chuck Traver, Chip Miller, Cody Pahl, Joe Baumgartner, Mark Norton and Doug Traver served as pallbearers with honorary pallbearers John Rodriguez and Daniel Alt. Memorial contributions may be made to Hill Country Memorial Hospice, Fredericksburg United Methodist Church Foundation, or the charity of your choice.

Jack’s family is so very grateful to Dr. Michael Johnson and his staff for the many years of care, all of the staff at HCM Wellness Center, and his group of “young” guys who shared coffee and stories at the Old German Bakery. A special thanks to Linda Seip with HCM Hospice for loving both Jack and Marjorie and helping them to complete their lives with dignity and comfort.

Arrangements are under the direction of Fredericksburg Funeral Home.

In June 1978, while working for the Civil Service, Jake and Margaret moved to Blanco County, on the outskirts of the city of Blanco on their mini ranch (The Loma Lisa).

Davis

Devoted husband and father John Kelly Rogers of Norman, Oklahoma passed away on November 5, 2019. He was surrounded by family at the time of his death.

Kelly was born in Knoxville, Tennessee to William and Sarah Rogers. He grew up all over the country, with time spent in Kansas City, El Paso, Reston, Virginia and Wrentham, Massachusetts, before graduating high school in Wilton, Connecticut. He attended the University of Oklahoma where he earned his B.A. in Philosophy. He remained an avid supporter of Sooner athletics throughout his life.

He met and married his wife, Donna, while attending OU and they had two sons, Ben and Sam. In 1988, Kelly moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he embarked on a successful career as a chef. Kelly quickly became a mainstay of the city’s culinary community with stints at Mark Miller’s Coyote Café, Café Pasqual’s, and Santacafe, before settling in as Executive Chef of La Casa Sena for nine years. He was at the forefront of the nascent farm-to-table movement, serving on the board of the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market and Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta. He was featured as a guest chef at the James Beard House and his recipes appeared in Gourmet Magazine, numerous cookbooks, and local publications.

The family moved in 2004 to Fredericksburg, Texas, where Kelly opened his own restaurant, Kelly’s Café.

Combining family recipes and elevated techniques from his fine dining background, Kelly described this as his favorite food endeavor.

An avid golfer, Kelly avoided competitive play and emphasized the natural beauty and personal growth inherent in the game – his advice to his sons, on the course and in life, was to “play within yourself.”

He preferred the rangy unpredictability of municipal courses to the manicured perfection of country clubs.

Kelly would also pass on his love of music to his sons, with a particular fondness for Bob Dylan. Kelly will be remembered for his creativity, which pervaded all aspects of his life, and his compassion, especially for animals.

Kelly was preceded in death by his father, Bill; mother-in-law, Sue Brown; and brother-in-law, Terry Gittins.

He is survived by wife, Donna; sons, Ben and Sam; daughter-in-law, Kyle; mother and stepfather, Sarah and Arno Frerichs; father-in-law, Roy Brown; siblings, Stephanie and husband, Jeffrey; Joni and husband, Brian; and Will and partner, Beth; and by his wife’s siblings, Randy and Linda Brown, Ron and Liz Brown, Susan and Bob Weaver, Lawrence and Kelly Brown; his nieces and nephews, Tyler, Jon, Everett, Kristalin, Jace, Matt, Andrew, Lauren, Ellisa, Aleks, Kaden, Willow, Drake, and Faith, as well as his dog, Emmitt.

A family service will be held in Bella Vista, Arkansas where he will be interred alongside his father at Bella Vista Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to a local food pantry, farmer’s market, or animal shelter.

Online condolences may be shared at www.tribute.care (405-292-4787).

Gillespie family farms honored at land program Two Gillespie County family farms were honored at the 2019 Texas Department of Agriculture Family Land Heritage Ceremony at the state capitol in Austin on Oct. 30.

Among those honored were the Stanley Feller Ranch and the Rodney and Sharon Kott Ranch, both in Gillespie County.

The ceremony, which included a barbecue lunch on the southwest lawn of the capitol, recognized Texas families who have kept their farms and ranches in continuous agricultural production for 100 years or more.

The following information on the two ranches is taken from the program book: Stanley Feller Ranch Julius Feller was born Dec. 11, 1871, in Gillespie County in the Morris Ranch community. He married Maria Klein in 1895.

Julius was employed by the

Morris family training racehorses. After the family ceased the racehorse operation, Julius and Maria purchased 429 acres of land from Adolph Weber in January 1914.

Julius and Maria made their living from the property and moved their family there.

Their family consisted of their sons, Albert, Alfons and Bruno, and their daughter, Lina.

All of the children continued to reside in Gillespie County until their deaths.

In 1955, upon the death of Julius, Bruno inherited this property. He and his wife, Edna, made a living on the land raising livestock, growing crops and canning fruits and vegetables from their garden and small orchard.

Bruno and Edna had two sons, Charles Julius Feller and Stanley Bruno Feller.

Stanley, the current owner, was actually born on the property.

When Stanley inherited the

land from his parents, he and his wife, Shirley, moved onto the property.

They continued the family legacy by running the farm and ranch operations themselves.

Today, the family raise cattle on the property. *As told by Stanley Feller, grandson of the founder.

Kott, immigrated from Germany in 1846. In 1900, Ernst, his wife, their four sons and two daughters made their home in the Wolf Creek area.

Ernst purchased 640 acres in 1909.

Ernst’s fifth child, August, acquired the property in 1920 after returning from service in World War I. August and his wife, Dina Rodney and Sharon Ahrens, along with their son, Kott Ranch Francis, and his wife, Alice, Ernst Kott’s father, August continued to operate the ranch

until their passing.

In 1925, the Wolf Creek School was built on the property.

Ownership was conveyed to Francis and Alice’s children, Rodney and Russell Kott. Alice and Francis helped their sons manage the ranch.

In 1983, Francis suddenly passed.

Alice wished for her children to continue to pursue careers away from the ranch. Alice,

with the help from her sons, continued to operate the ranch until her passing in 2010.

Rodney received ownership of the property and he and his wife, Sharon Roberts, returned to the ranch in 2013.

They are currently living in Rodney’s Opa and Oma’s house and they have two children, Bryan and Lisa. *As told by Rodney W. Kott, great-grandson of the founder.

Bonnen’s mess

Blame for the House speaker mess should go only to the one who created it, Dennis Bonnen.

I question the assumption that the last legislative session was a success. I could agree were I a liberal-socialist, but I am not. The Democrats celebrated the end of the session for good reason, they got more of their objectives addressed and passed than did the Republican party, of which Bonnen was reportedly a member.

The Speaker of the House is the absolute key figure in deciding which legislation gets processed and eventually to the House floor for debate and possible passage into law. Bonnen was not promoting the five legislative priorities established by the Republican party by any stretch of the imagination.

The meeting that took place with Michael Quinn Sullivan was initiated by Bonnen. The highly questionable topics of discussion were those of Bonnen. The crude references to elected representatives were

by Bonnen. The currently popular Quid Pro Quo was from Bonnen.

Any attempt to imply misdeeds by Sullivan are completely baseless. I know Sullivan as a man of principle who, along with Empower Texans, has a commitment to conservative values. To a liberal, compromise is “you give up your values and do things my way.”

Why the onus on “West Texas” oil dollars? There is a greater onus on liberal-so-

cialist dollars from New York or California intervening in who we elect to represent us in Austin. And excerpts from the hyper-biased, liberal Dallas Morning News should be taken with a miniscule “grain of salt.”

I do agree that you can get bitten when you are dealing with snakes. Which is why Sullivan legally recorded the exchange — he knew with whom he was dealing.

Glynda Haberle Beall

September 9, 1930 - November 2, 2019 Glynda Haberle Beall, age 89, of Fredericksburg, Texas and formerly of Jacksonville, Texas died Saturday morning, November 2, 2019, at Hill Country Memorial Hospital.

Born on September 9, 1930 in Jacksonville, Texas, she was the first child and only daughter of the late Glenn Haberle and his wife, Crystal Rawlinson Haberle. Glynda was raised in Jacksonville and graduated from High School there. She then attended and graduated from both The Hockaday Junior College and Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Glynda was an extremely popular young woman during the post-war early 1950’s living in Dallas. A renowned beauty, she possessed both impeccable southern manners and was intellectually gifted.

Her genius and wit often hidden under movie star good looks, a natural shyness and an innate humility. Glynda was a voracious reader and also a prolific writer of good poetry rarely shared. While studying at SMU, she became especially interested in the new field of child psychology and teaching emotionally disturbed children. Turning down a serious offer to appear on camera in the 1950’s burgeoning Television industry, Glynda chose instead to work with young children diagnosed with emotional disorders in one of the first therapeutic classrooms of its kind – work that touched her deeply and that she was especially proud of her entire life.

In 1956, Glynda married the love of her life, Royce Beall, and in doing so moved to the East Texas town of Nacogdoches where Royce had grown up and was working at the local Beall Brothers Department Store – his family’s business. They lived in Nacogdoches for two years, made several important and lifelong friendships, but soon after their son, Mark, was born in 1958, they moved back to Glynda’s hometown of Jacksonville which was also the home of the Beall Brothers General Offices and where Royce had been promoted to a new position in the company. In 1964, their daughter, Elizabeth, was born, making their small family complete.

Glynda joyfully embraced her role as a wife and mother. She was a great cook and a skilled hostess and completely devoted herself to creating a loving and lovely family home. Most importantly, the care of and raising her children meant everything to her and she would without fail gladly make any sacrifice in her selfless responsibilities as a parent. Glynda especially enjoyed sharing her love of reading and keen interests in art, history and literature with her children and because of this opened up a world to them far beyond the constraints of a small town in east Texas. Glynda loved living in and raising her family in Jacksonville. She enthusiastically participated in a variety of community activities and events, including joining the PTA and also was very actively involved in her church – teaching Sunday school and singing in the church choir.

In 2008, Royce and Glynda decided to move to the central Texas town of Fredericksburg where both of their children had settled, excited to be more involved in the daily lives of their grandchildren.

To all who knew her, Glynda was a gracious, kind, and beautiful woman of great moral character. She was a most loyal wife and a dedicated mother and grandmother. However, Glynda’s true beauty and grace lay not in her physical appearance but originated from a most powerful presence that flowed from within her soul and permeated her very being. The foundation of Glynda’s life was her unwavering belief in Jesus Christ as her savior and her utter dedication to living her Christian faith each day not only in word, but also in action and in deed.

Though most of her life was spent in the often thankless and unremarkable tasks that form the days and years of a housewife and mother, Glynda’s triumph and legacy can be found in the countless lives she touched through living each day as a person for whom radiated the fact that the Word of God was written in her heart and the love of Christ dwelled in her soul.

Arrangements were under the direction of Schaetter Funeral Home.

What’s up with the pecan trees?

Kaitlyn Coronado, 9, of Schertz, shot a 10-point buck Saturday, Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. at the Prochnow Ranch in eastern Gillespie County. The antlers measured 17½ inches wide. She is the daughter of Daniel and Amy Coronado. — Submitted photo

Nine-year-old Ruger Tekulve, of Fredericksburg, displays his nine-point buck that he shot Saturday, Nov. 2 in Gillespie County. The buck had a spread of 16¼ inches, Tekulve’s largest buck. He is the son of Matt Tekulve. — Submitted photo

t’s finally happened!

Your pecans have fallen from the tree and are waiting for you to pick them up and enjoy.

But wait, what’s this?

These pecans are not as perfect as those gleaming examples you see in local stores.

Picking up pecans this time of year is a happy occasion, but for a few, some issues may have interfered with the perfection of their nut crop.

Listed below are a few pecan problems you may encounter as you collect your nuts, and how to fix them for next year.

Problem 1: The ends of my pecan kernels are shriveled.

This problem is caused by lack of water when the kernel is filling.

Pecan trees grow nuts in two basic stages.

Stage one is when the nut gets bigger and the kernel shell hardens.

After the kernel shell hardens, stage two is when the kernel is being filled. Filling the kernels can be stressful on the tree, especially if it’s having to dip into its energy reserves.

If a pecan tree grows a lot of nuts due to a wet spring, it may not be able to fill all of them in a dry sumLAWN AND GARDEN ▶ D8

Bryan Ganis, 17, a Harper High School senior, shot his first buck of the season on opening day, Saturday, Nov. 2 at 8:10 a.m. at the Ganis Family Ranch near Doss. The eight-point buck had a 17-inch spread and weighed 120 pounds field dressed. He is the son of Pete and Teresa Ganis, of Doss. — Submitted photo Andrea Pesek, 9, a St. Mary’s Catholic School fourth grader, shot her first buck Saturday morning, Oct. 26, while hunting with her dad. The buck had 10 points with a 15-inch spread.

She hunted on property near Reeh-Weinheimer Road, northwest of Fredericksburg.

She is the daughter of Jason and Katie Pesek.

Kerrville resident Hudson Cowart, 10, harvested his first deer at 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3. The buck was eight points and was shot halfway between Fredericksburg and Kerrville on a friend’s ranch. He is the son of Dustin Cowart and grandson of Dan Cowart.

— Submitted photo To qualify for free publication in the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post, photos must meet the following criteria: • All animals pictured must be legally-harvested following all Texas regulations;

Landon Riffe, 8, of Kyle, shot an eight-point buck on the Riffe Ranch, his grandparents’ ranch at Blumenthal, on Sunday morning, Oct. 27 as part of youth-only hunting weekend. He is the son of Todd Riffe. — Submitted photo

• Either the animal or the hunter must be from Gillespie County; • Only the hunter who shot the deer may appear in the photo with the animal — no exceptions; • Each hunter may submit no more than one photo per season — no ex-

ceptions; • The animal’s entire carcass must be present and attached to the head. (No caped out or head-only/ antler-only photos will be accepted.)

• Pictures of does or spikes will not be accepted;

Charles Wallace (CW) Miller of Fredericksburg, shot an elk in Harper in early October. The elk had 10 points with a dressed weight of 220 pounds.

Livestock Auction Report

LAWN AND GARDEN Cont. from D7

mer.

Adequate irrigation can help fix this problem, irrigating about two inches a week when the nuts are in the filling stage.

The variety of pecan can exacerbate this issue.

A variety that produces big, long and slender pecans, such as “Mahan,” may be less likely to fill these kernels. “Mahan” pecans are so prone to this, it’s the reason why this variety is no longer recommended.

Problem 2: My pecans are empty and there is a little round hole in the shell.

If this happened to your pecans, very likely they were visited by pecan weevils.

Adult pecan weevils emerge in August based upon rainfall or soil moisture.

We didn’t get a lot of rain in August, so I suspect this pest wasn’t as bad as it has been in years past.

If you have this pest, normally you would spray the trunk until the pesticide runs off up to eight feet high every two weeks starting Aug. 20 until the second week of September with cabaryl (Sevin or similar brands), or zeta-cypermethrin (Sevin or similar brands).

To prevent getting this pest, avoid placing pecan shells from trees that are not your own around your landscape.

Problem 3: Some of my pecans are opening, and others are not.

When I pick the nuts off the tree, the shucks (green husk part) have some kind of worm in them, and the nuts have black streaks of dust on them.

The nuts otherwise look

fine.

This is hickory shuckworm.

Shuckworms tunnel around the pecan husk, which can cause green pecans to drop or the husk (shuck) to stick to the nut.

It can be difficult to tell when you have this pest.

If you see green pecans that fall early, check the shucks for worms.

If you see worms or what looks like tunneling, remove as many of the dropped green pecans as you can, as well as the dropped husks later in the season. This will help decrease the problem for next year.

If this is a perennial problem, apply a spinosad insecticide to the nuts when the pecans are at the half shell hardening stage (early to middle August) then a spray 10-14 days later.

Problem 4: When I crack my pecans, there are black sections on an otherwise perfectly fine pecan kernel.

What’s up with that?

This is called kernel spot, and it’s caused by stinkbugs or leaf-footed bugs feeding on your pecans after they reach stage two in their development.

The pecans can still be used but cut out the black sections before eating them.

These black sections are not to be confused with the light black peppering pecan varieties such as “Burkett” can get.

The black peppering or freckles on these varieties do not interfere with the taste, but those black sections caused by stinkbugs will not taste good.

Trying to control stinkbugs and leaf-footed bugs is difficult.

Commercial growers can plant a trap crop and spray that trap crop, but this is impractical for trees growing at home.

When we have our annual pecan show, there usually isn’t a lot of stinkbug damage, so it’s unlikely you will have much issue with these pests on your pecan trees.

Problem 5: My pecans haven’t dropped yet. They are still hanging on the tree and look black. It doesn’t look like that outer shell has opened yet.

These black nuts that stay up in the tree and never open are called “sticktights.”

Sticktights can be caused by an early freeze before the variety was finished ripening, lack of water, or shuckworm damage.

Lack of water and shuckworm damage can be fixed, but there isn’t anything you can do for an early freeze.

Problem 6: I had pecans, they looked perfectly fine. But now they are all gone, and there are a lot of broken shell pieces beneath my tree.

Well, something ate your pecans.

Squirrels, racoons, deer, axis, hogs, dogs, turkeys, crows, woodpeckers and people are just some of your likely suspects.

Trap and remove squirrels and put in a tight high fence to keep out hogs and deer.

Train your dogs to avoid the nuts and ask your significant others to stop eating your pecans.

Afterall, you wanted to enter them in the county pecan show, didn’t you?

County Pecan Show On Dec. 12, the Gillespie County Extension Office will be holding the annual county pecan show.

To enter, all you need is 4042 pecans of the same variety that were grown by you this year.

Only one entry is allowed per variety.

If you don’t know what variety you have, bring a few pecans by the office beforehand and we can get the variety identified.

Pecans cannot be altered in any way, including sanding, polishing, cutting, etc.

Pecans will be judged on weight, kernel size and shape, nut color, disease/damage presence, and uniformity. It is free to enter but you do not get the pecans back.

Pecans are judged by variety.

If you win your variety, you get to go on to the regional show, and maybe make it as far as the state show.

Entries are due on Dec. 11.

Contact the Gillespie County Extension office at 830997-3452 for more information.

Local farm looks for planting volunteers Hat & Heart Farm will host volunteers to plant 22,000 Cajun red onions and 1015 yellow onions, offering recipes and photo opportunities.

The farm will plant on consecutive Sundays, Nov. 17 and 24 at their location at 3961 North Grape Creek Road.

Gates will open at 9 a.m. with planting to start at 9:30 a.m.

“The first 20 volunteers to arrive on each date will also receive their own onion starts to take home and grow in their home garden,” said Katherine Tanner, spokesperson. Volunteers also will receive a selec-

tion of recipe cards from the farm’s partner chefs.

Snacks, French onion soup and trimmings from chef Matt Church of Hye Market also will be served.

Tanner said all ages are welcome, but please, no pets.

Volunteers should bring appropriate clothing and a refillable water container.

On Sunday, Nov. 24, there will be a short photo session in the early afternoon for families and children featuring one of the farm’s turkeys. Tanner said a small fee will be paid to the photographer.

By now most people have heard of the Nigerian prince scams or phishing emails asking for social security or banking information, but many people don’t know that they need to watch out for possible scams when buying or selling their home. Cybercrimes have become increasingly sophisticated over the years and the people perpetrating them focus on situations where a lot of money is changing hands, making real estate transactions an ideal target.

The National Association of REALTORS® recently warned its members and consumers about one example, a wiring scam during the closing stage of the home buying and selling process. Hackers will break into the email accounts of consumers and real estate professionals to get details about a real estate transaction. The hacker will then send an email pretending to be the title company, buyer, seller, real estate agent or someone else involved in the closing process and say there has been a last minute change and provide new wiring instructions; the instructions send the closing costs funds directly into the hacker’s bank account.

While it may seem like there are hundreds of ways for a criminal to take advantage of a consumer online, there are just as many ways consumers can protect themselves. Here are a few tips to help home buyers and sellers recognize and avoid real estate scams: Do not send sensitive information via email. Do not send banking information, your social security number or anything else that could be used to comprise your identity over email. If you absolutely must send personal or sensitive information via email, only use encrypted email.

Do not click on unverified email. If you do not recognize the name or email address of the sender, do not open the email. And beware of any attachments or downloadable files from unknown email addresses; they can contain viruses or provide a way for a hacker to access your computer.

Do not use unsecured Wi-Fi. It may seem harmless to check banking information using the free Wi-Fi at your local coffee shop, but using an open connection can leave you vulnerable to hackers and scammers. Only access sensitive information on your home computer or on a secured network.

If you suspect fraud, tell someone. If you suspect that fraud has or is in the process of occurring, contact all parties contacted to the transaction immediately. Unfortunately, often there is nothing that can be done to retrieve money stolen in the scam, however, you should still report the incident to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center or the Federal Trade Commission.

For more information on how to safely and securely buy or sell a home, contact Central Hill Country Board of REALTORS® or speak with a REALTOR®. xx.24
