THROUGH THE WOODS This cyclist may seem isolated wheeling through a heavily wooded area of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Park and Historic Site in Stonewall Saturday morning, but, in reality he was joined in the early mist by some 1,391 other participants in the annual LBJ 100 Bicycle Ride. Surpassing last year’s event by more than 200 pedallers, the annual ride offering routes ranging in distance from 30 to 85 miles once again raised funds for use in the park’s educational programs and its historic preservation endeavors.

Police seek suspects in aggravated robbery Two armed men force way into home, take over $1,000 in cash Two suspects thought to be in their early 20s are being sought for an aggravated robbery last Wednesday afternoon at a rural residence in which over $1,000 in cash was taken. The incident occurred at a rural home on Ranch Road 965. Deputy Joe Folse, Gillespie County Crime Stoppers direc-

tor, said the suspects knocked on the door of the home. The victim saw the pair and asked what they wanted. They identified themselves as being from “the electric company” and told the victim they needed to “check her electrical supply.” When the resident unlocked the door, the suspects shoved their way inside her home and held the homeowner at gunpoint. The pair stole over $1,000 in cash and fled down the driveway

toward the front gate at the highway, Folse said. Suspect descriptions are printed at right. Folse said it is believed the suspects parked their vehicle just off the highway near the homeowner’s locked gate. “We have no witnesses so far,” said Deputy Marcus Davee, investigator. “There were no other calls about similar crimes before or since, so it appears to have been an isolated incident. We

haven’t had anything like this occur in Gillespie County for many years.” Persons with any information, or who may have seen a parked vehicle near 5574 Ranch Road 965 between 4-5:30 p.m. last Wednesday are asked to call the local Crime Stoppers hotline at 997TIPS (8477). Tips may also be given through the Crime Stoppers website at www.gillespiecounty.org. Under “elected officials” click on County Sheriff, then select Crime Stoppers.

Neffendorf presented his findings to the Gillespie County Commissioners’ Court during its regular session Monday morning in the courthouse.

Wisconsin man donates model of USS Missouri to museum

By Ken Esten Cooke Gordon Stiller of Omro, Wis., is a history buff and has created a detailed model of an important moment in World War II history. Stiller brought his 71-inch long, 12½-inch high model of the USS Missouri to the National Museum of the Pacific War on Monday, where it was placed on display in the Victory Gallery. The model depicts the surrender of the Japanese aboard the ship in Tokyo Bay. “This is as it appeared on Sept. 2, 1945,” Stiller told archivists and other workers at the museum. “I purchased a lot of photos from the National Archives. It’s about as accurate as I can get.” The ship features model figures of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Adm. Chester Nimitz, as well as hundreds of half-inch model figures of allied military members that witnessed the surrender. As in the historic photos, they are perched around the ship, watching this historic moment that served as the official end of World War II. “For all these figures, I altered railroad-model figures to make them look like military,” Stiller said. “I made 30 to 40 molds to make them appear different.” Stiller built the base of the ship from wood, the used plastic to cover it and coated it to give it a metal appearance. He cast the model figures from a resin. “It represents about 1,100 man hours,” he said. “Stiller, a veteran, has always enjoyed making models, having built railroad and other military models,” said a spokesman for the museum. “He also is a woodworker and has constructed several historical clocks over his 70 years.”

He had the USS Missouri model on display in a Wisconsin model shop. It was suggested that he contact the Harry S. Truman Library but that facility had no place to display it. It was then he contacted the National Museum of the Pacific War, which agreed to display it.

“We consider all of our stable of artifacts on a rotational basis, and currently we only have about one to two percent on display,” said Robert Elder, collections registrar. “However,

we have approximately 45,000 items in our collection. This one will be here for the foreseeable future. The detail is just amazing.” The model which was

Commissioners

In other action, commissioners: • Approved leases for spots in the recently-acquired “C” hangar complex at the airport; •Heard a report from Gillespie County Sheriff Buddy Mills that he plans to pursue a grant for wireless equipment for his department’s patrol units

through a Tarleton State University project; •Agreed with Commissioner Ransleben’s recommendation to spend $1,250 for the relocation of a power line on Durst Behrends Road. The line, which wasn’t moved at the time the road was constructed, poses a traffic hazard the county wants to avoid. The rest of the commissioners agreed with Ransleben’s logic: “I think it sure would be a liability for the county and Central Texas Electric Cooperative to have those poles to continue sitting there like that.”; •Set a public hearing for 9 a.m. on Monday, April 23, regarding an application to revise Lots 23 and 25 in the Settlers Ridge Estate subdivision; •Approved covering travel expenses for Gillespie County AgriLife Extension Agent Shea Nebgen to travel with the local 4-H BB gun team when it competes at the national contest June 28-July 5 in Rogers, Ark., and, •Discussed plans to host a household hazardous waste collection day which would allow residents to dispose safely of cleaners, chemicals, corrosive items, electronics, tires, paints, auto batteries and the like. Funds are currently available to Gillespie County specifically for the purpose of hosting such an event. Commissioner Donnie Schuch said that any funds remaining from the original $25,000 available could be used by the county to host a separate electronics disposal event later in the year. Commissioners approved hosting the event this year, but said they still need to obtain permission for a location and set a specific date prior to announcing any further details.

Assisted by the Hill Country Community Needs Council, a jet outfitted with an IV unit was chartered to take Rodriguez and her parents from Durango to University Hospital in San Antonio.

Yet, Rodriguez will face medical expenses as she recuperates,

who also noted that maintaining an odd-numbered board can avoid future tie votes. “We always have a lot of good quality people to choose from,” he said. “Just because we have two good potential members, doesn’t mean we should increase the board,” agreed Commissioner Curtis Cameron. “For a long time, the airport was perceived as a playground for the wealthy,” recalled Stroeher, adding that the general public sometimes questions the county’s involvement in the facility. But that perception has shifted as the public has come to realize that the airport serves the entire community in some capacity or another, Stroeher said. Helping convey that message is the fact that the Airport Advisory Board has consisted of a mix of pilots and aviationrelated people and those from a background of business in the community. “And I think we need to keep that mix,” said Commissioner Billy Roeder, saying that as Maenius leaves the board, a person of similar background should be chosen to replace him. In the spirit of replacing a general businessman with another, commissioners appointed Gary Stehling to fill Maenius’ position on the board.

to having a mass communication system up and running. The system, which is being established through an Alamo Area Council Of Governments grant at no cost to the county, will allow those who sign up for it to receive emergency notifications, such as that for impending dangerous weather in the residents’ area. The future cost to the county could run $1,500 a year should it be continued, Culpepper said. Directions on how to sign up as a subscriber to the system will be published in the near future, after the system is in place and local leaders have had the opportunity to receive training on it. “We want to make this as public as we can,” Culpepper said, adding that the system would also allow the county, law enforcement and other officials to broadcast communications specifically to their own staff people. Culpepper also discussed upcoming emergency management training drills, as well as invited the commissioners to attend the “Shattered Dreams” exercise scheduled Thursday, April 12, at the Fredericksburg High School campus. On another matter, commissioners were advised of, but did not approve, a recommendation by the Airport Advisory Board to expand the number of its members from seven to eight. Reportedly, the question of expanding the board arose when the board received two nominations of qualified candidates to fill the seat being vacated by member Brian Maenius. “Personally, I don’t know if that is a good reason to me to increase a board’s size,” said County Judge Mark Stroeher,

The Women’s Auxiliary Unit 244 of Fredericksburg’s American Legion may soon be dissolved, according to Carolyn Gross, president. The auxiliary is dedicated to contributing to the accomplishment of the aims and purposes of the American Legion, Gross said. They accomplish this goal by volunteering time to assist veterans, to donating to worthy causes and doing community service work. Gross said that the impending closure is due to a decline in membership, and also a serious lack of participation by a large number of current members. Some of the auxiliary officers have held their positions for five to 10 years. The auxiliary, Gross said, promotes patriotism which teaches love of America through knowledge of the men and forces which

FREDERICKSBURG STANDARD-RADIO POST — WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 2012 — A7

Joseph Walter Lucas, of Fredericksburg’s Boy Scout Troop 135, chartered to Fredericksburg United Methodist Church, was honored in an Eagle Scout Court of Honor Sunday, March 25, at Faith Baptist Church. Lucas’ Eagle Scout project, which he completed in July 2011, included designing and directing the construction of a much-needed storage shed to house playground equipment for the younger Heritage School Lucas students. With materials donated by Pro-Build and BMP Painting, and money provided from Box Tops for Education, Lucas gathered the materials needed for his fellow troop members and other friends to construct and relocate the shed to its present location at the new K-5 academic village. Lucas started as a Cub Scout in 2004 and became a Boy Scout in the fall of 2008. He officially was awarded his Eagle Rank Nov. 1, 2011, by the National Council of Boy Scouts of America. A freshman at Heritage School, he is a member of the Order of the Arrow Brotherhood, an honor society of Boy Scouts whose members are chosen by their peers. He was nominated and went to “Report to State” in Austin, in February of this year where he dined and visited with legislators and other dignitaries at the capitol. Serving as master of ceremonies for the occasion was Joshua Culpepper and leading the color guard was Micah Culpepper, both sons of Asst. Scoutmaster John Culpepper, who

described the “Trail to Eagle” and presented Joseph with an OA Eagle Award. The ceremony was opened and closed in prayer by Rev. George Watts of Faith Baptist Church. Wes Dean offered two musical renditions of “On Eagles’ Wings.” Other participants in the ceremony were Capitol Area Council Commissioner Steve Allen, who presented the History of the Eagle and the “Call of the Eagle,” Scoutmaster Deborah Ottmers, who led Lucas, and other Eagle Scouts present, in the “Eagle Scout Oath” and directed the Eagle Scout Award presentation, and many other fellow Boy Scouts of Troop 135. The Eagle Scout Medal was pinned on by Lucas’ mother, Martha Lucas, and, David Lucas, his father, exchanged the Boy Scout neckerchief with that of the Eagle Scout. Other special guests in attendance were Lucas’ grandmother, Bettye Lucas, of Portland; his sister, Amy Lucas; cousins Martin, Spencer and Shanna Lucas, of Cedar Hill, other Troop 135 leaders, and many family friends. Following the ceremony, the guests were invited to a reception in the church fellowship hall where they were able to view a display table with awards, photo albums and memorabilia Lucas had earned and collected from his years in the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Highlights of his Boy Scout experience depicted his 2011 trips to Buffalo Trails Scout Ranch in West Texas and Phimont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM. Refreshments included punch and a cake decorated with the Eagle Scout Medal and 12 yellow stars depicting the 12 points of the Scout Law.

Crabapple Community Club members plan Friday meeting Members of the Crabapple Community Club will meet at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the schoolhouse grounds, 14671 Lower Crabapple Road. A short business meeting will be followed by games of “42” dominoes. Neighbors and friends are welcome to attend. The club meets regularly on the first Friday evening of each month.

•Be aware of how your own use of alcohol can influence your children. Avoid using excuses for drinking like having a rough day. Never allow children to mix

drinks or serve them to guests. Never serve alcohol to children, not even beer. Later in life, your children tend to have the same drinking habits you do.

Jacoby said. The Almost Patsy Cline Band will provide music for listening and dancing. “There are many followers of this wonderful band who love to Texas two-step the night away to their fabulous music,” Jacoby said. This year’s Paddy’s Party Silent Auction is larger than the 2011 event, Jacoby said. “The Hangar Hotel has provided two separate rooms where larger items can be displayed better and smaller items showcased with light in a beautiful setting,” she said. “This year’s line-up already includes three beautiful works of art, a queen sized Cowgirl headboard from an anonymous donor, gorgeous lamps, our traditional Homer Martin Ranch stay, a drum table and much, much more. We also will be drawing for door prizes throughout the night.” “The SPCA is a no-kill shelter and each of our animals, no matter their circumstances, stay with us until we find them a forever home,” Jacoby said. Proceeds from Saturday’s fundraiser provide operating funds for the shelter. “We thank you for all your support over the last 15 years and look forward to seeing you Saturday evening,” Jacoby said. The Hangar Hotel Conference is located at 155 Airport Road.

German dinner, narrated tour of Der Stadt Friedhof coming up A German dinner and tour of Der Stadt Friedhof will be offered at noon on Sunday, April 15. The community is invited to the event, which will start with the lunch in the Fellowship Hall of Holy Ghost Lutheran Church, to celebrate over 30 years of service to the cemetery board by Glen Treibs. The narrated tour of the cemetery will follow the meal, which will be prepared by the Holy Ghost Cooking Team. Treibs, who was named “director emeritus” by the Der Stadt Friedhof Corporation upon his retirement, will lead the tour. These tours bring the city’s history to life with memories, both serious and amusing, of those interred in the cemetery, according to the Rev. Bobby Vitek of Holy Ghost Lutheran Church. Over the years, Vitek said, the tours have been enjoyed and have brought enlightenment to residents and to visitors from far and wide. Reservations for the event will be required in advance to assist the cooking team in knowing the number of meals to prepare. In an effort to raise funds to contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the cemetery, a minimum donation of $10 per meal is requested with addition-

al amounts being greatly appreciated, Vitek said. Reservations can be made by calling Holy Ghost at 997-2288, Bethany Lutheran Church at 997-2069 or Zion Lutheran Church at 997-2195 by April 11.

Hop To It! The streets of Fredericksburg will be filled with human-sized bunnies on Good Friday, April 6, when a colorful “Bunny Brigade” hops out to deliver cheer. Costumed volunteers — with tall ears, pink noses and all — are part of the Fredericksburg Food Ministry’s plans to deliver up to 450 boxes and 350 bags filled with hand-decorated Easter cookies and candies to Gillespie County’s homebound, ill or others in need of a little extra care. Working with community service organizations, the project plans to put goodies in the hands of clients of Meals on Wheels, the Hill Country Community Needs Council, the Fredericksburg Boys and Girls Club, the Fredericksburg Head Start, New Horizons and Tri-Star Nursing Home. “Easter is the original moveable feast, since its date is not fixed in relation to the calendar,” said Fredericksburg Food Ministry board member Catharine Vinson. “With baskets set for delivery on Good Friday to people throughout Gillespie County, our Easter basket project is the largest ‘moveable feast’ Fredericksburg Food Ministry undertakes, and we’re hoping people from throughout the community will once again join us to decorate cookies, assemble and deliver baskets,” she added. This year’s cookie decorating is scheduled for Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Fredericksburg United Methodist Church’s Family Life Center, 1800 North Llano Street. Those six years old and older are invited to stop in and spend a few minutes decorating the 1,800-plus cookies volunteers have rolled, cut out and baked in the Methodist church’s commercial kitchen. Those who need a little inspiration shouldn’t worry, Vinson said. Local artists, cookie decorating experts and First Friday’s all-volunteer cooking team will be on hand to show participants how to use royal icing to decorate the cookies. “Both inside- and outside-thelines cookie painting is encouraged,” Vinson said.

STATE PSIA qualifiers from St. Mary’s Catholic School include, from left, Michael Meeks, Blake Tatsch, Rain Skelton, Justin Penn and Ellie Lindsay.

Vocabulary, Jacob Wienecke, 4th, grade 6. PSIA serves 260 member schools and provides a compre-

hensive academic extracurricular program for private school students in grades one through eight.

Community residents invited to this week to help spread Easter cheer by decorating cookies

Shake a tail — Here’s how to lend a helping hand on project to spread Easter cheer Decorate! Saturday, March 31 • 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Stop in for a few minutes Saturday at United Methodist Church, 1800 North Llano Street, and join in the fun of decorating Easter cookies prepared by volunteers. All supplies will be provided. Artists will be on hand to lend a little inspiration if needed. There are “no rules” when it comes to decorating one-of-a-kind masterpieces destined to bring a little Easter cheer to a neighbor in need.

Assembly time!

Monday and Tuesday, April 2-3 •10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Helpers of all ages are needed to stop in at the United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall the first part of next week to help wrap more than 1,800 cookies individually, fill special sacks with cookies and candy and assemble the Easter baskets in which goodies are then specially arranged for delivery.

Hop to it! Wednesday through Friday, April 4-6 The Bunny Brigade will take the baskets and deliver them to clients of Meals on Wheels, the Hill Country Needs Council, the Fredericksburg Boys and Girls Club, Fredericksburg Head Start, New Horizons and Tri-Star Nursing Home. Then, on Good Friday, the hopping troupe will hit Main Street to offer friendly greetings to Fredericksburg’s visitors, while also delivering bags of cookies, candy and Easter cheer. “There are no rules when it comes to creating one-of-a-kind cookie masterpieces,” added Mary Gallagher, another board member with the Fredericksburg Food Ministry’s First Friday program. All supplies will be provided. Light refreshments will be offered. Children between the ages of 6-16 years old must be accompanied by an adult, in consideration of food safety requirements. Students can earn community service points at their schools for decorating cookies, as well as delivering Easter boxes. Cookie wrapping and basket assembly will take place at the United Methodist Church’s fellowship hall on Monday and Tuesday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Adults and children of all ages are invited to help pack the wrapped cookies and candy in the boxes and sacks. Basket delivery to individual and group homes is planned April 4-6, culminating with the

Bunny Brigade’s walk-about on Main Street on Good Friday. With their faces transformed by Shannon Anderson (Sunshine the Clown) and Paula Dean and wearing colorful rabbit suits that once were a cornerstone of the annual Easter Fires Pageant held in Fredericksburg for many years, the Bunny Brigade will distribute Easter candy and greetings to pedestrians from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. After that, they’ll head out to complete delivery of Easter bas-

kets to homebound people in the community. “Wearing the suits — so generously lent us by the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association — while we deliver the baskets is our way of honoring and carrying on Fredericksburg’s tradition of neighborhelping-neighbor,” Gallagher said. This year, for the first time, local businesses and merchants will be sponsoring 10 members of the Bunny Brigade. Those businesses, who will be represented by bunnies wearing special accessories, include: BB’s Billiards and Bowling, Clear River Pecan Company, Dixie Belle Cupcake Café, Dogologie, Dooley’s 5- 10 and 25-cent Store, the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post, Haberdashery Boutique, Old Thyme Fund Shoppe, RED and Sweet Marley’s Frozen Yogurt and Sandwich Bar. “We really appreciate our sponsors!” said Gallgher. “The cost of candy, dough, packaging and decorating material really adds up; our sponsors are the key to our being able to afford to make and deliver 800 boxes and bags.” The Fredericksburg Food Ministry is an all-volunteer, community-based food and hospitality ministry that provides residents a gourmet lunch experience on the first Friday of each month at fast-food prices. Proceeds from those luncheons, plus private donations, are used to underwrite no-cost meals available for delivery to people in the community. Information and more about volunteer opportunities is available by visiting the organization on the Internet: www.fredericksburgfirstfriday.org.

Local group works to improve lives, relations

Saturday ‘Spring Fling’ bazaar to raise funds for mission trips Misión de Candelilla directors Sara and Curtis Allerkamp have been serving impoverished people who live in the deserts of northern Mexico for over 25 years. The people of these villages live without running water, electricity, or even screens to cover the windows of their homes to keep the insects out. As a way of raising money for the trips, the mission hosts two fundraising events each year, one in the spring and a banquet in the fall. This year’s Spring Fling Bazaar is scheduled for Saturday in the gymnasium of the First Baptist Church at 1407 E. Main St. The event is due to run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The bazaar will be divided into several areas, including “One Of A Kind Finds,” where items will be for sale that have been created by area artists. Other areas include an “As Is” area featuring typical garage sale items. There will also be food and drinks for sale as well. The highlight of the event will be the “Silent Auction” area that will have many items including a three-story dollhouse valued at over $3,000, a sofa-sized mirror in a large hand-carved frame as well as jewelry custom designed for the event. When asked “Why are you still going to Mexico?” Sara Allerkamp said, “I usually

showed a goose egg-sized area that was swollen above her left heel, which Dr. Layne said was “bursitis.” Barbarita received a steroid shot in the hip, and then he injected the area in her heel. The next morning, Barbarita returned. “I am like a new woman,” she said, smiling. “I have no pain.” Helping those in physical pain is only a small part of the work that is done on Mision de Candelilla trips. There are spiritual and emotional needs to be met as well, Allerkamp said. Allerkamp said an incident in San Vicente, a small village along the Rio Grande, where after finishing church services the team were bedding down for the night. “Curtis and I were setting up our cots under the stars when a pickup truck drove up and stopped,” Allerkamp said. “A man in his 40s came up to us and began to speak with us. “I tried to interpret for Curtis, but the man’s words were spilling out like a fast moving stream of water,” she said. “He began to pour out his heart to us and told us that he felt that God was moving and speaking into his life about starting a church and he wanted to share all of what he sensed God was speaking to him. He also wanted to know what Curtis and I thought. “We were honored to listen to what was in his heart and we prayed for him and encouraged him. But seeing God move so strongly in the area was a big encouragement to us as well,” she said. of Kristal Peese.” Checks may be Allerkamp also described how two days after the team of volmailed to: 150 N.

answer with a generic answer like, ‘Because that’s where God wants us to go’. Or, I’ll say, ‘Where we go it is safe, it’s not dangerous’.” Allerkamp described a trip she and her husband Curtis took a week ago where they and five volunteers held medical clinics in four different villages in Mexico. “I came home with a full heart wanting so much to express what I had seen,” she said. When asked what she saw, Allerkamp told about Barbarita, a 63-year-old grandmother of five who had walked into the clinic to see Dr. Ottis Layne, a local physician who regularly makes the mission trips with the Allerkamps. She was limping slightly, and kept touching her left hip. Allerkamp said she could see by Barbarita’s expression that she was in a lot of pain as she told the two her story. She said that she and her 75-year-old husband had lost their major source of income to the drought: their goats. Since then, she had been working on the new road that is being paved to Chihuahua City. Her job was to rake gravel and sand for many hours under the hot desert sun. For weeks she had been having pain in her left hip running down in the front of her thigh and leg. Besides the hip, she also had a problem with her left leg and

Saturday dinner, dance to benefit local resident The Gillespie County community is being asked to step up Saturday to help one of its own. A benefit barbecue dinner, silent auction and dance are planned to help raise funds to pay medical expenses being incurred by local resident and mother, Kristal Peese, who is on dialysis and in need of a second organ transplant. Barbecued pork will be served from 5-7:30 p.m. on carry-out plates, as well as for those choosing to dine in at the Holy Ghost Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall, at the corner of South Adams and East San Antonio Streets. Cost is by donation. A silent auction will also be held at the hall at the same time. Then, festivities move to the Turner Hall, 103 West Travis Street, where attendees will be able to dance from 7:30-11:30 p.m. to the music of The Wagon Aces and any other local musicians who are willing to lend their talents to the cause. Admission to the dance will also be by donation. Mrs. Peese, who formerly worked as a pharmacy technician at Hill Country Memorial, is married to Cody Peese, a fourth grade teacher at Fredericksburg Elementary School. The two were married in August and have three children: Cutler, 10, Kamryn, 10, and Camryn, 8. All proceeds will be used to help the Peeses cover the costs of her medical care while she maintains on dialysis in hopes they will find a living kidney donor willing to donate in time. The 36-year-old, who has already survived a kidney/pancreas transplant some five years ago as the end-result of a lifetime of diabetes, said she is asking all those willing to be tested to see if they are a potential match as a donor. Volunteers need only call the San Antonio Donor Line at 210575-4483, spell Kristal Peese’s name correctly and answer a series of 10 questions. Should a person qualify as a possible donor, a simple blood test will be arranged at no cost to the caller. Others who cannot make Saturday’s benefit, but who would still like to help the Peeses may do so either on-line or by checkby-mail: •Make a tax-deductible donation by credit card through HelpHOPELive (formerly the National Transplant Assistance Fund) by phoning 1-800-6428399 or by visiting the website www.helphopelive.org and entering “Kristal Peese” in the “Find a Patient” box on the home page, or, •Checks may be made payable to “HelpHOPELive” with a notation in the memo section of the check that reads “In honor

who had been on the trip for the first time. “He was brimming over with joy and amazement at the work that was done in Mexico,” Allerkamp said. “He told Curtis, ‘This trip has changed my life!’” “These are only three of the reasons of why we continue to go,” Allerkamp said. The volunteers also have created a strong bond between the U.S. and Mexico, she said. Part of Misión de Candelilla’s mission statement is “Changing lives on both sides of the border.” “Currently Misión De Candelilla serves 10 separate villages (ejidos) twice a year,” she said. “This entails six trips into Mexico yearly to facilitate the 20 medical clinics not to mention separate trips to facilitate vacation Bible schools and special work projects for the villages.” Mission workers have made several adult and youth construction trips in recent years, she said, performing work such as building medical clinics, replacing roofs on both the clinics and local churches, putting screens on the windows of homes and building restroom facilities near the clinics and churches. Families often receive hygiene packs, school supplies and Bibles, she added. “If you can go with us, that is a great help, there is never an end to the work that we could do if there were enough people to go with us,” Allerkamp said. The group also seeks financial assistance, as costs of fuel and medical supplies are a constant issue. Anyone interested in joining the Allerkamps on one of their upcoming trips is asked to contact them at 830-997-6542.

Sears store opens today at new location Fredericksburg’s Hometown Sears Store has moved to a new location, 512 South Adams Street, and will be open today, according to new general manager Scott Jones. “It has been an exhausting process to move and open our store but we are very excited to finally be opening,” Jones said. Celebrating its sixth year under the local ownership of Curt and Nita Regester, the store recently moved from its location on East Main Street. The new facility, dubbed the “Store of the Future” among Hometown Stores, features an improved floor design and better product placement. “The concept makes the shopping experience more customerfriendly,” Curt Regester said.

“We believe the new location is closer to our customer base and offers better access for everyone.” Due to unforeseen construction delays, the store had a delayed re-opening, but with city approval secured, the store opened today. Tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribboncutting ceremony to welcome the new store. A formal, grand opening is scheduled for April 7, where there will be specials, activities and a live radio broadcast with KRVL. More information on the Sears store is available at 9909537 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Hill Country MHDD Centers (Hill Country) recently announced the completion of a new, evidence-based clinical pilot program that demonstrated improved functioning for people with schizophrenia. As one of 10 community behavioral health organizations to participate, Hill Country found that the use of standardized, evidenced-based tools as a consistent part of routine care helped more effectively measure their consumers’ progress. The program, Advancing Standards of Care for People with Schizophrenia, was spearheaded by the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare (National Council). Twenty-eight individuals completed the program at Hill Country, which has served 19 counties of the greater Hill Country area since 1997. At Hill Country, 11.3 percent of individuals treated are diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, making the pilot program a particularly valuable endeavor. “We are all adapting to health care system changes that recognize the value of care over volume of care,” said Linda Werlein, CEO of Hill Country. “This program provided both an effective curriculum, and a way to demonstrate progress.” The program revolved around two evidence-based tools: a group curriculum to help adults better understand and selfmanage their mental health condition; and a functional

1,392 riders join at LBJ park event

A ROLLING START (at left) at the LBJ Ranch soon saw a record number of 1,392 participating cyclists spread out so they could better view the spring-time scenery at hand in Stonewall, such as the historic, one-room Junction Schoolhouse (above) where President Lyndon Johnson attended classes as a youth. AN AVID CYCLIST, Luci Baines Johnson addresses the crowd at Saturday’s start line along the airstrip once used by her father, the 36th U.S. president.

LOCAL CYCLIST Shannon Maenius pedals through a 42-mile route — one of several distances offered in Saturday’s benefit ride.

FAR ABOVE muddied waters, cyclists breeze over the Junction School bridge on their return trip into the park in Stonewall and toward the finish line of Saturday’s recordbreaking LBJ 100 Bicycle Ride. — Standard-Radio Post Photos by Lisa Treiber-Walter 20 MILES IN on a much longer distanced ride (middle left) a couple of cyclists still manage a “macho” display. Because the LBJ 100 offered varying distances, everyone from serious carbon fiber road bikers to those in strollers could be seen enjoying the event. GETTING ‘PUMPED’ — Cyclists (at left) Don Bohls and David Walker from Austin go over their equipment checklist prior to embarking on Saturday’s ride across the Gillespie County countryside.

FHS Tennis due at Mason, district Getting in some important time on the courts this week, the Fredericksburg High School varsity tennis team will compete in the Mason Invitational Friday and Saturday ahead of next week’s District 2-3A Tennis Tournament. The loop tournament to culminate the season will be held in Dripping Springs on Thursday and Friday, April 5-6. Before that in Mason, though, the team has work to do. “We will be focusing on kids getting work in their respective events,” said FHS Coach Randall King. “We need for the doubles players to work on some specifics like closing off the net. And, in singles, our players will be building on consistency and trying to use better strategy within the point,” he said. Draws will be posted Thursday, when the junior varsity team is due on the Punchers’ courts. Hill Country Championships In their home-hosted Hill Country Championships last

Thursday through Saturday, the varsity finished in second with 31 points behind Class 5A San Antonio O’Connor (50 points). “O’Connor is a very good 5A team who we lost to in the fall. We knew they were going to be solid,” King said. Coming in third was Mason (26 points), while fourth went to Kerrville Tivy (23 points) and fifth was claimed by San Antonio Taft (21 points.) “We ended up with 20 teams over the course of the three-day tournament,” King said, noting that many were small schools with incomplete lineups. The weather cooperated for the duration of the meet, presenting no delays. On Thursday, rounds finished up by 5:30 p.m., while Friday’s matches finished at 8:30 p.m. and Saturday’s finals were complete by 4:30 p.m. “Due to the wet spring, it was very important for us to get some tournament match play in,” King said. “We felt like our lineup was pretty good going in to this tourney. We wanted to get another good look at them Cont. on page B2

to rotate oddly while in mid-air, resulting in a tumbling spill in the sand pit. Her championship distance was 16’10”. — Standard-Radio Post Photos by Danny Hirt

Varsity girls with 142 points and Liberty Hill in second with 120 points. “We are pleased with the efforts of the varsity athletes,” Danz said. “Their times are coming down and they should be ready for district.” Danz said that the Bulldog Relays also gave the Billies a chance to compete against Salado, Burnet and Liberty Hill. While those three schools are not in District 26-3A, they are in the same region as Fredericksburg. “We need to be able to compete against them,” Danz said. From Burnet, the Billies brought home three first-place finishes. Emily Wenzel earned two gold medals when she won the 100meter dash with a time of 13.16 and the 200-meter dash with a time of 26.99. Dancie Singleton was first in the triple jump with a leap of 34’5½”.

JV White baseball falls to Llano 12-0 Eight errors led to the downfall of the Fredericksburg High School junior varsity “White” baseball team as the Billies fell 12-0 to Llano Monday. Justin Mohr was the only FHS batter to get a hit in the game. Starter Kyle Guynes lasted 1-2/3 innings on the mound, giving up three runs on a pair of hits and three walks. He also

fanned three Yellowjackets. Others taking to the hill for the Billies were Jake Mohr (4-1/3 innings, 3 runs, 7 hits, 3 walks, 1 hit batsman and 3 strikeouts), Justin Mohr (1/3 inning, 5 runs, 2 hits, 2 walks), and Wyatt Brannon (2/3 inning, 1 run, 1 hit, 1 hit batsman, and 2 strikeouts). “We played poor defensively,

giving up too many errors,” said Coach Mike Myers. “Offensively, we struggled as well.” The game marked the seventh time this season that the two teams have faced off, with the Billies holding a 4-3 edge. The FHS “White” JVs will hit the diamond again on April 5 when they travel to Harper for a 4:30 p.m. game.

Maddy Johnston reached with a single and moved to third one batter later on a Panther error on a Weinheimer hit. Gamble collected her second RBI of the evening when she laced a single down the right field line to plate Johnston. In the fourth, the Billies plated three more runs using singles from Hannah Shenk and Emily Wenzel and two Panther errors. A one out single in the sixth by Johnston was followed by a walk to Weinheimer and back-to-back RBI singles by Gamble and Rendon to score the final runs of the night for the Billies. Navarro plated a single run in the top of the seventh with two outs, though a second run was tagged out at the plate when leftfielder Kaylee Olfers and catcher Weinheimer teamed up for the third out of the inning to end the game.

tory over Wimberley. The Texans used a leadoff triple to start the top of the third inning and were able to score the run with two outs. Wimberley led until the final half inning, where Fredericksburg rallied for two runs and the victory. Sophomore Ali Laratta pushed through an infield single over the pitcher to get things started before pinch hitter Makayla Meccico bunted Laratta to second. Emily Wenzel then reached first with a bunt single before Maddy Johnston hit a single to short centerfield just out of the reach of the shortstop, second baseman and centerfielder. The hit would easily bring in Laratta from third and Wenzel would beat a throw to the plate for the winning run.

Navy veteran honored for her service

Betty Jane Blalock recognized during recent ceremony at Fort Sam Houston

By Danny Hirt Texas native Betty Jane Blalock has a heart as big as the Lone Star State, a characteristic of hers that recently earned her a certificate of appreciation from the United States Army Recruiting Command during ceremonies held at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. Blalock has been known for her giving even before her days as a Pharmacy Mate 3rd Class in the U.S. Navy during World War II. She comes from a family deeply involved with the military, including her late husband, who served many years in the Air Force, and a son, Mac, who spent time in Vietnam while in the Army. Blalock was honored, along with seven other Texas women, as part of the Women’s History Month observance at Fort Sam Houston in a remembrance hosted by the USA 5th Recruiting Brigade. In part, her certificate recognized Blalock for her “commitment to excellence and exceptional knowledge reflect great credit upon you, your community, and the United States Army.” She said she was “so honored to represent the girls.” “The girls” she referred to are all of the women who she trained and served with during World War II. Blalock said she joined the Navy to help out wherever she could. Her nation had been attacked and Blalock, never to be shy about engaging in hard work, served the United States

ing each other figure out how to get the bed coverings tight enough where “you could bounce a quarter.” Once she got her bed in that order, Blalock said she spent a lot of nights sleeping under the bed so as not to ruffle up the covers. Blalock said the instructors were strict in the Navy, but for a reason. “They were trying to teach you to take orders,” something she could do because her mother was known to be strict in her own loving way. But whatever strictness she was subjected to paid off benefits later on. “The service helped me to be a better teacher and a better care-giver,” she said. After she married a tech sergeant in the Air Force, Blalock spent much of her time traveling. Their journeys took them to many parts of the world, including more than nine years in Thailand. She recalled those days as “no TV, no friends, no telephone; what could I do?” It didn’t take her long to find something to do. Blalock started teaching first graders in Bangkok, then she helped build and run three kindergarten schools, all under the auspices of the U.S. Depart-

in its time of need. “All of us wanted to help this country,” she said. Besides, she already had two brothers in the Navy. In addition, joining the Navy helped her achieve one of her goals at that time — getting away from home. As for the troops she helped in the hospitals, “I fell in love with the boys.” She spoke of the many amputees she came across “willing to give their arms and legs” for their country. She started her Navy basic training in June 1945 in the Bronx in New York City and spent much of her time as a pharmacist’s mate 3rd Class at the Naval Hospital in Quantico, VA. When she went to “boot camp,” Blalock said her mother packed up two suitcases and sent her off to the Navy. At basic training, Blalock met up with a girl from her neighborhood back in Fort Worth. “What are you doing here?” was the question she asked her fellow Texan. Then the other woman responded almost immediately with her own, “What are you doing here?” The women in her group were subject to strict discipline in basic training, including help-

ment of Defense. She also learned, out of necessity, how to travel in the back areas of Southeast Asia while the couple lived in that part of the world. Blalock tells the story of how she’d travel 12 hours by boat, bicycle another hour and a half, then take taxis for several more hours just to visit her husband. Being a “military wife,” Blalock said she got used to picking up stakes and going elsewhere. “I’ve moved about 64 times.” But she admits that, in spite of having traveled around the world literally four or five times and having visited some of the remote corners of the globe, she’s developed a fondness for Fredericksburg. “I love this place about the best of all. The people here are great,” she said.

Painted Violin Project benefits Symphony of the Hills programs The recent Painted Violins Project raised $24,000 for Symphony of the Hills educational projects and provided recognition for two dozen Kerrville Independent School District students who entered an art contest sponsored by the orchestra. Auctioning the 15 violins decorated by Hill Country artists brought in as much as $3,000 per instrument, after bidding began at $500 each. Additional funds came from underwriters and business and individual sponsors of the artists. President Warren Ferguson of the Symphony of the Hills Association, parent organization of the 73-member regional orchestra, said that the association will use the funds “to implement programs that expand our reach and the appreciation of symphonic music, as well as developing the musical talents

of people throughout the Hill Country.” Artists whose decorated instruments were auctioned in connection with the March 8 concert by the Symphony of the Hills are Halsey Bascom, Kathryn Bowen, Kathleen Cook, Norma Daniel, Evelyn Hickey, John and Edith Maskey, Mary Ann Moss, Clint Orms, Judy Ritchie, Andy Ritch, Richard Rouse, Nancy Wallace, Roy Lee Ward, Mary Weekley and Mary Zirkel. The Painted Violins Project represented a new approach to fund-raising by the Symphony of the Hills Association, which receives less than half of the cost of operating the orchestra from ticket sales. The association depends on program advertising, donations and other sources to cover the difference. Under the baton of Conductor and Artistic Director Dr.

Women agents ‘demonstrated’ importance in Texas history Early leaders taught practical skills to Texas families An important but often overlooked part of Texas history can be found by following the footsteps of early Extension educators — home demonstration agents who began teaching practical information and household management skills to Texas families a century ago this year, said Texas AgriLife Extension Service experts. “We owe a great debt to educational pioneers like Edna Westbrook Trigg, who was hired in 1912 to bring handson instruction to people who otherwise would have had little or no access to it,” said Nancy Granovsky, AgriLife Extension family economics specialist in the family and consumer sciences program. “AgriLife Extension is an educational outreach agency of the Texas A&M University System,” Granovsky said. Today the agency and other system entities have hundreds of professionals and paraprofessionals who have followed in Trigg’s footsteps and now serve hundreds of thousands of Texas residents each year.” The education Trigg and other home demonstration agents and their successors provided toward improving the quality of life for Texas families is significant and fits with this year’s National Women’s History Month (March) theme of Women’s Education — Women’s Empowerment, she added. “Through the first half of the 20th century, these home demonstration agents went to homes throughout rural Texas and provided practical demonstrations and advice on vegetable gardening, canning, sewing, cooking, household management, family health, poultry-raising and other aspects of daily life,” Granovsky said. “This all started with Trigg, who served as the state’s first home demonstration agent.” Granovsky said practical demonstrations in homes were often one of the only ways women in rural Texas could acquire the information and skills needed to improve their lives. “In those days, women were not only responsible for maintaining the household and raising the children, but also taking care of other chores, maintaining family health, tending the vegetable garden, feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs,” she said. “Some women were able to apply skills they learned from home demonstrations toward starting a homebased business, like selling eggs, in order to supplement household income. This gave them an even greater sense of accomplishment and selfworth.” According to the Texas State Historical Association, Trigg, who passed away in 1946, was a teacher and principal of the small rural Liberty School when approached in 1911 by a representative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to serve as a home demonstration agent for Milam County, west of Bryan. The duties of the position, which would start the following year, were to be conducted during evenings and weekends in

addition to her existing school responsibilities. Her salary would be $100 per month, out of which she would pay work-related expenses, including room and board. “Much of Edna’s work involved traveling alone to remote areas of the county by horse and buggy and staying overnight in strangers’ farmhouses,” said Dr. Jennie Kitching, who retired as AgriLife Extension’s associate director for human sciences in 1998. “A lot of what she demonstrated was self-taught or came through personal experience.” Kitching said over the years Trigg served as a role model for numerous home demonstration agents and their successors with the present-day Texas AgriLife Extension Service. Trigg’s appointment as “collaborator” for Milam County was approved and signed by Dr. Bradford Knapp, who would later become president of Texas Technological College, now Texas Tech University. Knapp was the son of Seaman K. Knapp, known as the architect of the national cooperative extension movement. Trigg’s appointment by the USDA and New York Board of Education preceded by two years the official establishment of the Cooperative Extension Service by an act of Congress — the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Her primary duty as collaborator was to coordinate, organize and supervise Girls’ Tomato Clubs throughout the county and put on practical demonstrations about the production and canning of tomatoes. Club members, consisting of girls 10-18 years of age, grew tomatoes on small plots of land and sold or canned them. Initial efforts were so successful that in the summer of 1912 the Milam County girls’ clubs coordinated with area Boys’ Corn Clubs — both clubs precursors to present-day 4-H clubs — and presented the first-ever exhibit in Texas to show girls’ agricultural products, which

included tin cans and glass jars of tomatoes and peaches. The exhibition drew more than 3,000 people, and the following year the girls exhibited their agricultural products at the state fair in Dallas, as well as at the Waco Cotton Palace. “One of the biggest challenges for early home demonstration agents was being accepted by the families and the community,” Kitching said. “But since Trigg was a married adult and a mother, as well as a school teacher and principal, she was finally accepted as a respected and trustworthy individual.” Kitching said demonstration agents also provided a social outlet for many women who lived in rural Texas by visiting their homes and forming home demonstration clubs and organizations in which women throughout the community could participate. In 1918, Maggie Barry, an Extension specialist in rural women’s organizations developed the first clubs of home demonstration women. In 1926, club women attending a farmer’s short course at Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College, now Texas A&M University, formed the Texas Home Demonstration Association. The home demonstration association was reorganized in 1931 with the mission to promote and provide community instruction on diet and health, food production and preservation, landscaping, fitting garments, poultry production, millinery and sewing. According to Humanities Texas, at their zenith around 1940, these clubs boasted more than 57,000 women in almost 3,000 clubs statewide. Kitching noted that early home demonstration agents were often viewed as community role models due to their knowledge and self-sufficiency. “They did the same thing today’s family and consumer sciences county agents do, which is

Agents bring message to Gillespie Family and consumer science agents trace their roots back to 1912 when Edna Trigg was appointed the first Texas home demonstration agent. And in Gillespie County, the first home demonstration agent, Iva Burleson, was hired in 1936. In some areas, the focus may have changed somewhat over the years, but in other areas, those early teachings have come full circle. Gillespie County’s current family and consumer science agent, Shea Nebgen, explained that early home demonstration agents taught women how to preserve foods safely. They also taught clothing construction. In addition, those early-day agents helped organize Home Demonstration Clubs so that women could learn how to save money for food and clothing for their families. “It also provided social contact for the women,” Nebgen said. “Today, we still continue to organize groups, but the name has changed to Extension Education Association,” Nebgen said. And while the name has changed, the purpose and mission of the clubs is the same,

Nebgen said. The groups continue to meet for social interaction, but to also continue learning and expanding their education. Current Texas AgriLife Extension programs have developed to reach a broader audience as society has changed, Nebgen said. Educational programs have expanded to teach child care providers how to provide and educate children in their care. Food safety classes are taught to retail food workers as more and more people are starting to eat their meals away from home, Nebgen said. She also said that child safety seat education is provided to ensure the safety of children as they travel more and more. “Programs have not changed,” Nebgen said. “We continue to teach families how to preserve their foods safely, we teach

about the nutrition in the foods they consume and we focus on how to be financially stable in an ever-changing economy.” Agents who have served Gillespie County over the years include: •Iva Burleson — 1936-1938. •Cornelia Faye Stewart — 1938-1940. •Laura Elberta Martin — 1940-1943. •Lucille Conrads — 19521954. •Marialyce Dittmar — 19541956. •Maxine Grobe — 1956-1959. •Rosalee Gilliland Meeks — 1960-1965. •LaWanda Menzies — 19661967. •Leta Ann Metzger — 19671977. •Sandy Wuest — 1979-1980 and 1982-2001. •Shea Nebgen — 2002 to the present.

FREDERICKSBURG STANDARD-RADIO POST — WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 2012 — C5

Women agents to teach families how to make the most of their time, money and resources,” she said. “But they had to do it by themselves, independently, and often under difficult circumstances. For example, Trigg was also raising a family while traveling and providing home demonstrations and classes, some of which took her away from home the entire week.” The role of Trigg and other early home demonstration agents was highlighted in a traveling exhibit called “Rural Texas Women at Work: 19301960,” which was displayed in museums, universities and other venues across Texas for several years. “Mrs. Trigg also was a proponent of education, frequently encouraging Girl’s Tomato Club members to start college savings funds and look for scholarship opportunities at colleges and universities,” Kitching said. Historical documentation notes that after Trigg’s first year of working with these clubs, four members started bank accounts and began saving for their education. All four received their degrees and became teachers, and two held positions at Texas universities. Trigg’s daughters also took her advice about education, and one of them, Eloise Trigg Johnson, followed in her mother’s footsteps by becoming a home demonstration agent in Eastland County. In her 20-plus year Extension career, Johnson also served as a family life education specialist at Texas A&M headquarters. In 1915, funding ran out for the Milam County position. In 1916, Trigg was hired by Extension as a home demonstration agent for Denton County, at which time she relinquished her additional duties at the Liberty School. Some of Trigg’s most important work in Denton County was during World War I, when she played a key role in helping make the county agriculturally self-sufficient by working with area farmers to grow more vegetables.

Cont. from C4 She also did in-home demonstrations and held canning schools to show rural residents how to properly preserve and protect the food they had grown. Trigg later added nutrition education to her efforts, developing a fill-in card that allowed women with limited resources to schedule the foods they planned to serve to ensure their children received adequate nutrition. “During the 1920s and ’30s, proper nutrition was a problem for many rural Texas families,” Kitching said. “By the mid-1930s, home demonstration agents also started providing information and instruction on parenting, family resource management, child development and family life. “As society and conditions changed, Mrs. Trigg and other home demonstration agents adapted and taught the knowledge and skills needed to help families function more effectively and efficiently using their own resources and strengths.” Kitching added that home demonstration agents also helped rural Texans get through The Depression when more families were forced to produce and preserve more of their own food, stretch their financial resources and make their own clothes. “During World War II, they were often out in the community helping with scrap drives and assisting with establishing home victory gardens, food budgeting and promoting sound nutrition,” she said. “In the 1960s, they were in the forefront of addressing senior issues and helped start many community groups and partnerships with the objective of improving senior care.” Kitching said home demonstration agents also frequently obtained books, pamphlets and other educational materials and made them available to rural residents through county offices, which often served as ad hoc community lending libraries working in cooperation with local mail carriers. “Today, AgriLife Extension family and consumer sciences agents still do some of the same things Trigg did in her day,

including working with youth, providing food preservation and safety programming and nutrition education,” said Cheryl Walker, the current AgriLife Extension family and consumer sciences agent for Milan County, where Trigg began her career. “We also provide instruction on diabetes awareness and education, child vehicle passenger safety instruction, parenting, financial literacy and a variety of other family-centered topics,” Walker said. Walker said today’s AgriLife Extension programs are designed for both rural and urban audiences but still focus primarily on community-based, small-group learning. Most programming is done in community centers, church-

‘Airport Day’ scheduled April 7 at local facility

Collings Foundation brings restored planes to county airport for tour

VINTAGE World War II aircraft were on display this weekend at the Gillespie County Airport as the Collings Foundation hosted its annual “Wings of Freedom Tour.” Visitors to the event were able to walk-through and view a number of restored aircraft including a B-17 “Flying Fortress,” B-24 “Liberator,” P-51 Mustang and a UH-1E “Huey” helicopter. Flights on several of the aircraft were also offered. — Standard-Radio Post Photos by Matt Ward

A variety of airplanes and other flying machines will be on display during “Airport Day” activities planned for April 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Gillespie County Airport. The event is being sponsored by Chapter 1088 of the Experimental Aircraft Association. There is no admission charge. Expected to be on hand for the day will be several military-type planes, such as the Bird Dogs, flying in formation. In addition, there will be a bi-wing Stearman on display that’s recently been restored. In addition, a group of six Bonanzas will fly in formation at the beginning of the event and again around noon. Vintage planes and experimental aircraft will also make fly-overs throughout the day. Also, all types of general aviation planes owned by local pilots (including bi-planes, high- and low-wing aircraft, vintage planes and some military aircraft) will available for viewing. Local Boy Scouts will cook hamburgers as a fundraiser and a bounce house will be available for children. The Civil Air Patrol will have one of its planes on display, as well as provide representatives who will discuss the CAP. Most of the displays and other activities will take place at the airport’s north ramp.

The local group, which was founded here in 1994 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, currently has 35 members. Local meetings are held once a month (either on the second or third Saturday morning, depending on other schedules) at the Gillespie County Airport. The club will have an information booth at “Airport Day”. Additional information is available by calling 997-8767 or going online to www.eaa.org. EAA is an international aviation membership association with an estimated 160,000 members in local chapters in all 50 states. Founded in 1953 and headquartered in Oshkosh, WI, the non-profit organization fosters and promotes general aviation, helps vintage and experimental aircraft owners with FAA-type certificates, advances avgas research and protects pilots supporting medical airlift and similar flights with liability. EAA has promoted an interest in flying among youths through its “Young Eagles” program. With the support of 42,000 volunteer pilots, it sees that youths (aged eight to 17 years) are given a chance to fly for their first time -- at no cost. Some 1.6 million Young Eagles have flown in approximately 90 countries since the program began in 1992.

D2 – FREDERICKSBURG STANDARD-RADIO POST – WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 2012

Visitors a key economic driver

ome carry shopping bags, some carry walking canes and some wear bicycle shorts. But all estimated 1.2 million each year — that’s right, 1.2 million — contribute to our local economy. Ernie Loeffler, Fredericksburg Convention & Visitors Bureau director, on Monday outlined encouraging numbers for members of the Fredericksburg Rotary Club. Last year, the city collected a record $1.8 million in hotel-motel tax money, and Gillespie County drew in another record $250,000. That allowed them to distribute $580,000 to local groups who work to promote local tourism events and attractions. Without visitors, those funds would have to be raised by the groups themselves. In total, visitors to Gillespie County spend a whopping $81.1 million on goods and services here. Loeffler says much of this is then spent in the community in some form or fashion. Obviously, retail locations benefit, but even mechanics fix visitor cars, florists benefit from destination weddings, and veterinarians and hospitals do business when accidents or illness occur. The tax money collected from visitors also offsets local property tax to some extent. And it pushes the workforce, as Loeffler estimates that 1,000 people are employed by the “visitor industry.” Fredericksburg even benefits from recent higher gas prices as Texans opt to head to the Hill Country instead of, say, Florida or Colorado. Times are changing, though. Wineries — of which Gillespie County will have 15 once 4.0 Cellars opens — are a popular attraction. Art galleries, now numbering 14 in the downtown area, are also an incredible draw. They attract a visitor demographic that is envied by other towns — well-educated, and higher-income than the average Texan. Wineries and other attractions are also attracting a younger visitor, Loeffler said. Another thing that is changing is the time

spent by visitors on Main Street. Attractions like Wildseed Farms, local museums, the wineries, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area and Fredericksburg Herb Farm are all draws away from the main hive of activity. And that’s OK. There are dangers in being too dependent on tourism for the lion’s share of our economy. Natural disasters, such as a recent tornado in tourist haven Branson, MO, can bring a visitor-driven economy to a screeching halt. Those who lived through the Christmas 2008 season remember how bad national economic news had a negative effect on the number of local shoppers. We should support efforts to bring other types of business here, such as manufacturing or light industry, to continue to diversify the economy. Loeffler said the CVB is also handing out a “Tourism 101” brochure to help local salespeople deal with a clientele that expects as good service as they might receive in any larger upscale market. Locals who grew up here years ago find it hard to believe how the economy has transformed in the past two decades. But many business owners have invested much in building stores and wineries that attract visitors, helped along by a city that takes pride in its appearance and looks ahead. Without visitors, we wouldn’t have the choice of stores or restaurants that the town currently has. Change isn’t always easy, and we may occasionally have to put up with driving around cyclists on a county road or additional traffic on Main Street. But we should be thankful that there is the steady sound of commerce downtown as opposed to the chirping of crickets. A strong visitor base is one more thing that gives the local economy energy and benefits the town in so many ways. We appreciate Loeffler and the CVB staff for their part in ushering in visitors who are beneficial to Fredericksburg and Gillespie County.

Help us focus on the future

nside this paper, or through a link on our website, you will find a 20-question reader survey. We would very much appreciate you sending in your thoughts as we plan for the future. A printed survey form is on page D8. If you fill out a print survey, please mail it or drop it by the office at 712 W. Main. The link to the web-based survey is https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NNYWCH7. A few clicks with that one and you’re done. We still plan to continue the tradition of solid community coverage started by the late Art Kowert and the recently retired Terry and Cathy Collier. At the same time, our industry is going through rapid change and we feel the need to be proactive in the news we offer and the medium in which we offer it. The survey has some simple questions about what you like about the paper, and what else you might like to see. A commu-

nity like Fredericksburg has many diverse interests, but we will strive to cover what the readers wish to see. We already have received some great suggestions, many of which affirm what we already do and others that suggest some changes. You may have noticed some design tweaks already. We plan to initiate more in the coming weeks and months, but nothing that detracts from or diminishes the coverage. We certainly don’t plan to be a digital-only publication any time soon, but we realize that an increasing number of people do prefer to receive their news through their mobile phone or tablet. So, we are making plans to offer those formats. No matter how you like to get the local news, we appreciate you reading the Standard-Radio Post. Engaged, informed citizens make for a better community.

Home buy brings college memories

ood news! I only have 29 years and 360 more days as an ausländer. I purchased a home in Fredericksburg last week. I am a Fredericksburger (a Fredericksburger with cheese, some might say). As I have gained more than a pound per month I’ve been here, I may soon be a double-cheese Fredericksburger. (OK, I’ll stop.) Seriously, I have not felt like an outsider at all and I am glad to be more vested in this community. We found a great home in a neighborhood that seems to have some kids our sons will no doubt get to know and some good neighbors that we hope to meet soon. It’s a large 3-2, and we can’t wait to move in. Though we won’t “officially” move in until the boys have completed their school year in Victoria, Christine and I are mentally running up our credit cards with new furniture purchases to fill it up. Though we have owned a home before, it’s kind of neat to have a blank canvas to consider how to set up rooms, the color palette we’ll choose, the “style” my wife will go for in setting up our house and making it a home. Thoughts of new furniture purchases and other necessities brought back memories of my college days, when living room chairs were lawn chairs, a table was an overturned box, and shelves were boards and cinder blocks. My brother, Kevin, and I had a “swinging bachelor pad” in El Paso when we attended the University of Texas-El Paso, albeit a very low-budget bachelor pad. We rented the top story of an early 1900s home in the historic Sunset Heights district near downtown El Paso. Our home, however, had not received much TLC over the decades and didn’t qualify as historic and probably

our porch would make a romantic out of anyone. Christine mentioned curtains for our new home, and I told her I would just hang up some Mexican blankets like we did in college. Her reply over the phone was “Do. Not. Buy. Curtains” with an implied “I will divorce you.” I told her I was joking and wouldn’t know how to pick out curtains if a factory opened next door. She remembers all too well my El Paso college days (yet somehow still agreed to marry me). I suppose I understand Christine’s reticence to let me pick out furnishings, even though those days of carefree bachelorhood are long gone. Children have a way of changing men’s tastes and preferences. Women have a way of doing the same thing on a far more drastic level. Gone are the cigars, the red and black sofas, and the blanket curtains. (Sigh.) Now I am trying to think of paint colors for the walls, and not even caring if the paint comes from the discount bin. We live, we grow, and we are forced to consider making things match when we make purchases. I was so happy with the news of our being homeowners here, I told Christine we would celebrate by going to see a movie without our children. The new Three Stooges flick would be a wonderful date movie, I suggested. (Hey, I don’t want to totally grow up.) She said that was fine if I would take her to see the next movie adaptation of a Charlotte Bronte novel. I’m still trying to decide whether or not to take her up on it. There is bound to be a happy movie medium in there. I will see you around town. Prost, to Fredericksburg and my new home!

should have been condemned. But it was functional and a place to lay our heads. Niceties such as real furniture and curtains were not necessities to two early-twenty-something gents. It was home for a couple of years. Kevin and I hosted some traveling bands who were passing through making a stop in the great Southwest on their way from Austin or Dallas to California. The place had no working heater and air conditioning was an open window. The smell of cigars and stale beer permeated the place. “Spring cleaning” consisted of opening windows and spongemopping the floors to get the ever-present sand that had blown in from the Chihuahuan desert. Always having an eye for a deal, my brother showed up one day with a used red and black velvet couch and love seat that could be described as “retro Juarez whorehouse chic.” They looked nice next to the cardboard box coffee table. Our room decor consisted of my forest-green television (it was the last one — imagine that), the Cooke Coat of Arms, a drum set in the corner and a Willie Nelson poster. We just had mattresses on the floor because bed frames seemed, well, redundant. Yet in all its ugliness, the home was beautiful. It was perched on a low-rising hill that ended about half a mile away at the Rio Grande River. We could see the neighborhoods of the thenpeaceful Ciudad Juarez.

Boys to men — Oh happy day So they are gone. In their wake they left behind a single black Nike sock beneath a bed, scattered pennies on the dresser and a silence that I can hear clear across the house. My two youngest sons have returned to college from spring break, but during the few days they were home I glimpsed the future, and I liked what I saw. As a mother for lo these many years, I know such rare moments are to be cherished. “I’m thinking of double majoring in economics,” my freshman math major said during one of our conversations. “It’ll make me more marketable.” I managed to grab the kitchen counter before I fainted. Marketable? Did he really say that? I hadn’t seen either son since winter break, when the Christmas holiday and our disparate schedules made them more of a blur than an actual presence. This time around, the pace was different. So were a lot of other things. They were courteous. They were conscientious. They were kind. They were engaged, affectionate, helpful. And they didn’t roll their eyes when I asked them to

21. That’s not to say we ever stop needing our mothers. Not one day goes by that I don’t wish mine were still around. I may be well on the far side of 50 and a grandmother four times over, but who else would care for me so unconditionally? The morning the boys headed north to their other lives, I ran across a quote, no doubt placed in my path by a benevolent God, that perfectly expressed my sentiments. “A mother is not a person to lean on,” wrote educator Dorothy Canfield Fisher, “but a person to make leaning unnecessary.” Sooner or later, we parents receive our due, and it makes all the heartaches disappear, if only for a while.

What a blessing. “When I make it big, you’re not going to work another day in your life,” the older one said.

cool. Well, at least we were convinced we were. Our friends marching in the heat had some choice words for us, prompted by our privilege of having to do no squad drills. Each spring, the cadet corps had a full blown inspection by a colonel from Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. Word was that if you flunked that inspection, you got 50 demerits, were booted out of ROTC and drafted into the Army. One guy thumbed his nose at the whole procedure. He appeared at inspection time — happily drunk, dressed in full western/ cowboy regalia: fringed leather jacket, boots, hat, jeans. He slipped into the back squad just as the Army colonel was beginning to inspect that group. Well, the colonel spotted “cowboy” right away and trooped down the squad row to him. After several seconds of deadly silence, the colonel asked: “Son, just what in !@#$ are you supposed to be?” To which the inebriated cadet grinningly announced, “I’m a %&*+ Indian scout, what’d you think!” With that, the cowboy cadet passed out. The last I heard from that cadet, he was serving in an infantry unit in Germany. But, he showed ’em, huh?

books (yours and your girlfriend’s), if you met one of the aforementioned officers, it was mandatory to salute. You could be required to stop for an officer to inspect you — uniform pressed and creased properly, brass polished, shoes shined, etc. — and you might get demerits. On drill day, you were subject to the same kind of inspection plus you were carrying an M-1 rifle that had better be spic and span. After a militarily troublesome freshman year for me, I was tipped off that if you became the platoon guide-on bearer (a guide-on is a pole with a pennant type flag), two good things occurred. You didn’t have to carry a rifle, which meant you didn’t have to clean the rifle. Since I didn’t know the first thing about guns, that sounded great. Second, as guide-on bearer (carrying the platoon’s official designation), you didn’t belong to a squad. Each platoon was made up of three squads. At least 80 percent of all drill was through individual squads. So, while squad drill was conducted, all the guide-on bearers sat in the hedge rows, being Joe Cool College and smoking cigarettes.

Drought, wildfire impact persists as big issues AUSTIN — Even with better-than-normal rainfall in many locales in the past six months, lake and reservoir levels remain low and widespread concern about drought and wildfire remains high. Meanwhile, Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples on March 21 announced agricultural losses attributed to the 2011 drought had reached $7.62 billion. Texas AgriLife Extension Service economists said last year’s drought was the costliest on record for the state. At a March 22 interim meeting of the House Natural Resources Committee, Drew DeBerry of the state agriculture department said the $7.62 billion figure does not include some $3.4 billion in timber losses, and that wildfires burned off the vegetation on more than four million acres of land. With the threat of high winds and drought continuing, Gov. Rick Perry last week extended two disaster proclamations, one for drought affecting the state’s 254 counties and one for wildfire affecting 86 West Texas counties. Perry originally issued the drought emergency disaster proclamation on July 5, 2011, and the wildfire emergency disaster proclamation on Dec. 21, 2010.

State Capitol Highlights By Ed Sterling

TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION

There’s a State Drought Preparedness Plan for emergency responses to severe drought, but future, large-scale needs are addressed in the Texas Water Development Board’s 2012 state water plan. Graphs in the plan show the state’s population nearly doubling in the next 50 years and the water supply correspondingly decreasing. Recommendations six years in the making — the input of more than 400 people and 16 regional water development boards — are in place for new water conservation and management measures needed to deal with persistent drought conditions. Included in the water plan is a Jan. 5 “letter to the people of Texas” by Water Development Board Chairman Edward G. Vaughan. “As the state continues to experience rapid growth and declining water supplies,” Vaughan wrote, “implementation of the plan is crucial to ensure public health, safety and welfare and economic development in the state.” Supreme Court to hear case Monday through Wednesday of this week (March 26-28) the

• 7.5 million Texans no longer have a lifetime limit on their health insurance. • More than 300,000 Texans under age 26 are allowed to stay on their parents’ policy. • 3.8 million Texans with private insurance can get preventative care with no co-pay or deductible. Texans asked to visit parks Texas Parks and Wildlife Department last week reported a $4.6 million budget gap brought on by devastating wildfires, record drought and a corresponding decrease in the number of state park visitors. Carter Smith, executive director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, launched an appeal on March 22, asking more Texans to visit the parks and help erase the budget deficit. Texans are pitching in already. The agency reported it had received $1.4 million since early December through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and contributions from a program allowing Texans to donate to state parks when registering motor vehicles.

MARCH 28, 1962 A record turnout of voters is expected Tuesday for Fredericksburg’s municipal election as three candidates are seeking the office of mayor and four for the two positions on the city commission. The three mayoral candidates include Werner Meyer, Sidney Henke and Andrew Kaiser, all of whom are seeking their first elective office. The four commission candidates are Eugene C. Schmidt, incumbent; Belton Klinksiek, Herbert Schmidt and Gilbert Kaderli. Mayor Max Schneider and Commissioner Wesley Woerner are not candidates for re-election, leaving Schmidt as the only incumbent seeking election. Gillespie County will host John Connally, one of the top candidates for governor of Texas, at a big barbecue and rally to be held at the Fair Park Saturday evening. The Fredericksburg High School Band, under the direction of Tom Rhodes, on Saturday won the Grand Sweepstakes Award in Interscholastic League competition held in San Marcos. The honor is the highest ever won by an FHS Band and marks the first time in the band’s history that they have garnered the top honor in such competition. Fredericksburg’s newest busi-

ness firm, Lakeway Ice and Groceries, located on North Llano Street, will hold its grand opening this weekend. Owners are Willie O. Filter and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sanders. Local physician and surgeon, Dr. Lorence Feller, was named the city’s outstanding boss for 1961 at the annual Bosses Night of the Jaycees held Thursday evening. Two girls were born in local hospitals during the past week to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Knopp, March 24, and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hoy, March 26. The descendants of the founder of the Fredericksburg Coca Cola Bottling Company are marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the firm on March 15, 1892. The current owners are Erwin Kraus and Paul Kraus. Jacob Kraus began the business, known as “Kraus Bottling Works” when he bottled the first of many beverages known in the early days as “Rotes und Weisses Soda Wasser” (red and white soda water). A “left-handed” mailing box that should prove very convenient for local mailers has been installed to the rear of the post office on Nimitz Boulevard. One may now drive up to the box on the left side so that mail may be dropped into the “snorkel” without sliding over the seat or having to dismount from the vehicle.

Never has a more truthful statement been made and we have a Standard-Radio Post photo to prove it! Just what every farmer and rancher in the county wants to meet as he comes over a hill on a county road – the entire road taken by cyclists who say they have the right to the road. Let them buy licenses for their cycles, have a special class on their driver’s license and liability insurance just like those of us who drive cars, pickups, trucks and motorcycles.

U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in Florida v. United States Department of Health and Human Services. The court is expected to render a ruling on the case in late June. Texas is one of 25 states joining Florida in the case petitioning the high court to declare unconstitutional the national health care law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The states’ main objection stems from a mandate in the law that beginning in 2014 will require an individual to purchase health care coverage if their employer does not offer it. Gov. Perry, Attorney General Greg Abbott, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn and other prominent Republicans have expressed opposition to the law, asserting that it violates states’ rights and individual rights. March 23 was the second anniversary of President Obama’s signing the act into law. The Austin-based, non-partisan Center for Public Policy Priorities published a paper on March 23 to point out a few things the law is already doing, such as:

50 Years Ago/In The Standard

7805.36-38

n the 1950s and 1960s, Texas land grant colleges were directed by law to have mandatory U.S Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) for military-eligible freshman and sophomore males. Yep, you had to belong to ROTC if you weren’t 4-F (physically unqualified for military duty) or unless you had already done military service. If you so desired, after those initial two years, you could opt for military service, take ROTC in your junior and senior years and, upon graduation, qualify to enter the Army as a second lieutenant. In the mid and late 1950s, the U.S. was not engaged in any military conflict, although the Selective Service System for the draft was in full force. If you were enrolled full time in college (at least 12 semester hours), you had to belong to ROTC. That meant taking Military Science class two days a week during those freshman and sophomore years, which required that you wear your ROTC uniform to classes on MS class days and on drill day. Yep, one hour of close order drill one day per week. If you were in uniform on campus and you encountered a member of the Regular Army cadre (Army officers serving as ROTC instructors and advisors) or any cadet officer (juniors and seniors), you had to salute them. It didn’t matter if you had two armloads of

The sign meant a lot to our family as it was my parents who owned the hall. Now, someone has come and stolen the sign. Whoever you are — I know you will never return the sign to us but remember this: Our neighborhood on Live Oak Road and Kerr Road have had robberies and attempted break-ins here lately. We all have been alerted and now when you come on our property uninvited, other means are closer at hand than a telephone. Virginia Lehne Fredericksburg

The Reverend Milton E. McWilliams, Jr.

September 7, 1920 March 17, 2012

The Reverend Milton E. McWilliams, Jr., died in Fredericksburg, Texas, on March 17, 2012. A Requiem Holy Eucharist will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m., March 31, 2012, at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, West Creek and South Bowie Streets, Fredericksburg. The Reverend Jeff Hammond will be the celebrant. Other Officiates will include The Reverend Dick Elwood, The Reverend Harley Savage and The Reverend Dyana Orrin. The organist will be Hazel Hansen. Interment will follow at the St. Barnabas Columbarium with The Reverend Jeff Hammond as interment minister. Reverend McWilliams was born Sept. 7, 1920, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, the capital of the one-time Creek Indian Nation. His parents were Milton E. McWilliams, Sr. and Christine Moore McWilliams. Milton grew-up in Ardmore, Oklahoma, the leading community in the onetime Chickasha Indian Nation, where he graduated from high School. Milton earned a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Oklahoma in Norman with a history major and mathematics and chemistry minors. He was a member of Sigma Chi social fraternity, Tuff Muggs Cheer Squad, and was active in intramural sports. After his graduation, Milton received a commission in the U.S. Army Artillery and was

assigned to active duty at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Following his assignment to numerous continental U.S. (CONUS) posts, Milton served with a regimental combat artillery unit. In this capacity, he served with the First and Third Armies in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) during World War II. Upon returning to the United States in 1946, Milton entered The Church Divinity School of The Pacific, Berkley, California, where he earned a Master of Divinity Degree. Milton later worked on his Doctorate in Sacred Theology at The Pacific School of Religion in Berkley. While in seminary, Milton married Gretchen Elizabeth Claudius on July 17, 1948, in St. John’s Episcopal Church, Omaha, Nebraska. Gretchen also graduated from the Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Berkley. She served as director of Christian Education for several congregations in the Episcopal Dioceses of California, Oklahoma, and Texas. Reverend and Mrs. McWilliams returned to the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma where he was ordained to the Diaconate in 1949 and to the Priesthood in 1950.

Birgit Josefine Maria Gideon March 3, 1940 – March 20, 2012

Mrs. Milton Gideon, 72, nee Birgit Pausch, of Doss, died Tu e s d a y, March 20, 2012. A memorial service was held Friday, March 23, at 10 a.m., at the Hilda United Methodist Church with the Rev. Wade Powell officiating. Interment of the cremains followed in the church cemetery. The family received friends Thursday evening, March 22, at Schaetter Funeral Home Chapel. Birgit Josephine Maria Gideon was born at home on Sunday, March 3, 1940 in Berlin, Germany to Gustav Pausch (Father) of the Erzgebirge region and Friederike Eier Pausch (Mother) of Mikolov – formally Nickolsburg, Czechoslovakia. The region of Birgit’s family origins was called Sudentenland and it was relatively poor; however, it was known for its mining and home industries, which included wood working (nutcrackers) and Kloeppelspitze (bobbin-lace). As World War II was approaching an end, Birgit’s father had become a Russian POW, while she and her family suffered depravation, daily air raids, and persecution through retaliation by the Czechs. They would eventually be forced to flee via a coal transport train -- narrowly escaping capture by the advancing Russian army. By August of 1945, Birgit and her family made it to an American Occupied zone and they were processed and placed into detention in the town of Martinlamitz. There, they were given shelter in the warehouse of the Eisenwerk (iron works factory). Birgit’s father was released from captivity in 1948 and he, along with his reunited family joined all of Germany in the effort to rebuild a nation in ruins. By 1950, Birgit’s family had moved to Nuremburg, Germany. Birgit completed eight grades in the public school system and then became an apprentice in the Berufschule (trade school). By this time, her father had returned to his profession as a traveling salesman and had opened a Herrengeschaeft (men’s clothing and specialty store) where Birgit was employed. Birgit studied as a textile apprentice and successfully received a “Gesellenbrief” from the local Handelskammer (Chamber of Commerce). In 1962, Birgit met her beloved husband, Milton “Mel” Gideon, an American Army Staff Sgt. while he was stationed in Nuremburg. They were married on March 2, 1963 and they went on to spend 48 wonderful years together until Mel’s passing on Aug. 1, 2011. In the summer of 1964, after Mel’s tour of duty was up, Birgit and Mel came to Texas (Mel’s place of birth) and they began building a life together in the Houston/Conroe Area. Birgit was a stay-at-home mom for many

years as she and Mel were blessed with four boys – Henry, Raimund, Jeffrey and Matthew. As the boys got older, Birgit went to work for the Conroe Independent School District at Ben Milam Elementary as a teacher’s aide. She worked there for over 10 years and was recognized numerous times for her outstanding work in service to teachers and students – indeed she was nominated several times and was awarded para-professional of the year. It was during this time also that Birgit and Mel frequented the Texas Hill Country for weekend getaways and family vacations. After Mel retired from the Houston Police Department in the late 80’s, Birgit and Mel realized their life-long dream and they relocated to the small ranching community of Doss in Gillespie County. Although semi-retired, Mel became the Chief Deputy Sherriff of Gillespie County, while Birgit went to work as a hotel receptionist in Fredericksburg, Texas. Birgit immersed herself in the communities of Fredericksburg and Doss and was active in many endeavors including: the Gillespie County Fair Association, Doss Community Center, and Hilda Methodist Church Cemetery Association. Birgit also pursued her great love of old-world, traditional knitting and crocheting. She won numerous “best of show” ribbons and awards at the annual Gillespie County Fair, and was always ready to showcase her craft and unique skills as a regular artisan featured at Bastrop’s annual Yesterfest. Birgit’s second love was the pursuit of fine antiques at bargain prices. Birgit and Mel were members of the Hilda United Methodist Church. Birgit achieved a personal goal on Feb. 27, 1987, when she proudly became a citizen of the United States. Birgit was preceded in death by her parents and by her beloved husband. She is survived by son, Henry, and wife, Staci, of Bastrop; son, Raimund, and wife, Wendy, of Longview; son, Jeffrey (Senior Master Sergeant USAF), and wife, Becky (Master Sergeant USAF), of San Antonio, and son, Matthew, and wife, Angelica of Austin. She is also survived by 15 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces. Birgit is also survived by brother, Kurt Pausch, and wife, Betty, of Nuremburg; brother, Reinhard Pausch, and wife, Gerti, of Piney Point, Maryland; sister, Edda Klos, and husband, Walter, of Nuremburg; and sister, Jutta Hyde of Munich. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the Hill Country Memorial Hospice, Hilda United Methodist Church, or the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (www.lls.org).

88 Years Young 2/27/1924 – 3/16/2012

Bob “Doc” was born in Dubuque, IA, to parents Grace Edith MacKenzie and Julius Louis Knoernschild. His father was killed in an auto accident when Bob was 2 years old so he went to live with his grandparents Friedrich and Anne Knoernschild until he was 10 years old. (Bob eventually shortened his last name to Shields.) He treasured them and shared many memories of his grandparents and growing up on Windsor Avenue in Dubuque. He left this world for a better place on March 16, 2012. Bob spent the Depression years on an NE Missouri farm and attended school in Kirksville, MO. He graduated from Los Angeles Polytechnic HS in 1942 as his family moved to CA after the start of WWII. He attended USC, joined the Naval Aviation V5 program, and after flight training schools received his wings and commission in December 1944 at Corpus Christi, TX. He chose sea planes and flew the OS2U3 Kingfisher and finally the SC-1 Sea Hawk which was shot into flight from the USS St. Paul, CA-73, landed in the sea for recovery and hoisted back to the ship. The St. Paul was in training to invade Japan until the capitulation and was along side the USS Missouri at the signing of the peace treaty. He absolutely loved his navy days and flying and would regale any ready listener with tales of his adventures, many of which were with Gene Kelly, a ship mate in the aviation division. Bob entered the University of Iowa in 1946, graduated in 1948, studied medicine at Kirksville Osteopathic Medical School where he was Assistant Professor of Clinical Pathology from the summer of 1950 until he graduated in 1952. Bob established Port Acres Clinic September 1952 in Port Acres, TX (suburb of Port Arthur) where he treated young and old, delivered hundreds of babies, some even at the clinic. His patients loved him! He and a group of DOs built Doctors Hospital in Groves, TX in 1955. He served on the school board of Port Arthur ISD from 1954 to 1965 and is credited with getting Port Acres schools equal funding and consideration from PAISD. He was the team doctor and avid Stephen F. Austin fan. Many times he flew coach (and friend) Bob Frederick to scout opponents. Bob’s medical practice included his being named 1st Class Aviation Medical Examiner by the FAA, a designation he held until he retired in 1998. He delighted in talking flying with the pilots who received their aviation med exams from him. Bob was also a member of the USS St. Paul Asc. and the US Navy Cruiser Asc. Another adventure was the Brangus ranch that he established in Woodville, TX in 1968, where he transformed a piney woods acreage into beautiful grass and hay fields. He spent many hours on his tractor with his faithful dogs following behind. He moved his office to Woodville in 1991 where he gained a loyal following until he “retired” in 1998; he held an active medical license for 60 years. The final move was to Fredericksburg, TX in 1999 where he set out to raise heifers and enjoy the beauty of the Texas Hill Country, residing along Spring Creek. Bob absolutely loved his medical practice, flying, service in the Navy, cars and his animals. He has enough tales to fill a book. He was very compassionate and his patients loved him and would not see another physician; he probably wrote the book on bedside manner. His patients knew he was on rounds at the hospital as they could hear him whistling down the hall. He was board certified in Family Practice, was a member of Fredericksburg UMC, AOA, TOMA, ACFP, AOPA (59 years), NRA. He is survived by Leah, his wife of 28 years; children David Davis (Dulce), Staci Davis, Robert F. Shields, DO (Kathy), Thomas G. Shields (Linda), James M. Shields (Kim); grandchildren Sissiley Smith, Kimberly Shields, DO, Kelly Didehbani (Amir), Ross Shields, Evan Shields, Kristen Shields, Justin Shields, Cody Shields (Lindsey); great-grandchild Bennett and sister, Juel Anderson. A Memorial Service, celebration of his life, will be held March 31, 2012 at 2 p.m., in the sanctuary of Fredericksburg United Methodist Church, 1800 N. Llano, Fredericksburg, TX. In lieu of flowers, please consider these: American Cancer Society, FUMC music department, Ave Maria Hospice. The family greatly appreciates Connie, Shirley and all the nurses of Ave Maria Hospice along with Dr. DeLeon who helped Bob and Leah through his illness. Arrangements are under the direction of Fredericksburg Funeral Home. Online condolences may be left at www.fredericksburg-funerals.com.

FREDERICKSBURG STANDARD-RADIO POST — WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 2012 — D9

Water symposium slated March 22 in Junction

Hill Country residents, policymakers, scientists, water experts and regional leaders met March 22 in Junction for an informative conversation about the inescapable need for healthy watersheds (or “catchments”), the life-nourishing land areas where the surface and subsurface water drains. “The symposium’s speakers shared their expertise in discussing the critical role watershed planning plays in protecting our state’s limited water resources,” said Christy Muse, executive director of the Hill Country Alliance. “Watershed planning provides a framework for actions to preserve this invaluable resource.” The symposium’s moderator was Tim Birdsong, chief of Freshwater Habitat Conservation, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). The symposium proceedings were recorded and will be aired on Texas Public Radio at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 30, on KTXI 90.1 Kerrville/Fredericksburg,

and at 8 p.m. on Sunday, April 1, on KSTX 89.1 San Antonio. After broadcast, the symposium may also be heard online at www.tpr.org. As stated by Birdsong, watershed planning “represents a strategic approach to conservation that supports the ability of local partners to identify conservation needs across the landscape, identify shared interests and priorities, leverage resources, and take action at a scale that is meaningful.” “Many of today’s important water planning initiatives are taking place at the local level,” Muse said. “The key to sustaining our water resources for future generations lies in the hands of local stakeholders,” said Kevin Wagner, the Texas Water Resources Institute’s associate director. “Watershed-based plans that engage local stakeholders and outline ways to preserve or restore watersheds have been shown repeatedly to be the most effective approach to preserving

water resources.” Symposium speakers emphasized how today’s decisions will determine the water that will be available for future generations. “Given the drought, exploding population growth, energy demands and the cost of water, proactive planning at the watershed scale is a smart way for protecting our limited natural resources, and at the same time improving science literacy,” said Tom Arsuffi, director, Texas Tech University Llano River Field Station. This was reinforced by Gary Garrett, director of Watershed Policy and Management, TPWD, who expressed the view that conservation at the watershed scale is an effective and holistic approach to ensuring the state’s natural resources will still be around for future generations. A common theme was that it is so much easier to “help keep

things good” than it is to fix problems in a watershed after they have occurred. “We’re faced with restoring water in several hundred water bodies across the state,” said Aaron Wendt, statewide watershed planning coordinator for the Texas State Soil and Watershed Conservation Board. “If we can work to protect our healthy watersheds with socially acceptable and economically viable solutions, the challenges we face to ensure clean and abundant water will be surmountable.” Muse talked about the many watershed planning efforts, such as the South Llano Watershed Alliance, now underway in the Hill Country. “We need to change the way we think about watersheds — we can’t afford to ‘shed’ away precious water,” Muse said. “Let’s value our ‘water catchment areas’ as places to naturally capture, store and cleanse

water supplies for future generations.” The Hill Country Alliance is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to raise public awareness and build community support for preserving the natural resources and heritage of the Central Texas Hill Country. More information is available at www.hillcountryalliance.org. This website also provides more information about the Fifth Annual Watershed Symposium series and upcoming symposiums, which are sponsored jointly by Hill Country Alliance, Schreiner University, Texas Tech University and Texas Public Radio. Upcoming symposiums will address “Hydraulic Fracturing and the Energy/Water Nexus” and “Groundwater for Texans: A discussion of the recent ruling of the highly publicized ‘Day’ case, how it affects all stakeholders and the complex water policy framework in Texas.”

As many as 30 million kinds of plants and animals live in the rainforest. The trees and other plants that make up the rainforest grow together so densely that they create layers, each with different climate characteristics. Read about the layers. Then follow the directions to color the rainforest picture.

In the upper layer, the tops of the tallest trees form a canopy that spreads out over smaller trees and plants. Some of these trees grow to be 200 feet high. Plenty of sunlight reaches this layer, making it the hottest layer of the rainforest.

Rainforests are a source of food, medicine and products you may use in your home. Use the code to discover some of them. A= B= C= D= E= F= G= H= I= J= K= L= M=

Eagles, monkeys, bats and butterflies Color the sky blue, the treetops bright green and the trunks brown.

This is the most colorful of the layers. Since the upper canopy shades the harshest sunlight, this lower canopy receives a filtered light in which flowers and vines grow. The vines grow from tree to tree, forming a woven maze. Snakes, toucans, treefrogs Color this layer with bright flowers and a mixture of greens.

Only patches of sunlight reach through the upper layers to the understory, or mid-zone. Shrubs and small trees grow in this shady, damp layer.

Spider monkeys are racing to the treetops. Each monkey can only climb as far as the last correct math problem on its tree. Start at the bottom and see who wins.

President’s Column

Larry Boyd, President

What are you asking? One of the first steps to selling your home is deciding how much to ask for it. Several factors influence pricing a home … some you can control, and some you can’t. A Texas REALTOR® can help you decide on the best price based on the condition of the home and what comparable homes in the area have recently sold for—be prepared in case the amount isn’t what you had in mind. Here are a few things that determine a fair price. New and improved Your home’s condition plays a large role in setting an asking price. Buyers will be thinking about how much work they would have to do before or after they move in. When it comes to fixing or updating a house, cost does not necessarily equal value. Even minor improvements can translate to more dollars for you in the long run. Upgrades or repairs mean a little work on your part but can positively affect your asking price. Out of your control The asking price also depends on

circumstances you can’t control— the housing market’s inventory, local employment numbers, interest rates, the amount your neighbor’s home sold for, and a host of others. You also can’t do anything about your property’s location … and location is perhaps the biggest word in real estate. A house’s location includes access to schools, businesses, public transportation and highways. This convenience could be a strong selling point. A property with an attractive view or near a public greenspace can deservedly command a higher sales price than a similar house on the block without those features. Don’t take it personally It’s been a few years since the housing market peaked and your home was probably at its highest value. In other words, even if your home is in immaculate condition, it may no longer be worth what it was worth then. And, unfortunately, the amount you paid for the house doesn’t matter. What you need to get out of the sale doesn’t matter, either—your

buyer doesn’t care that you just need another $10,000 to buy your dream home. Instead, make a case for why your house is worth it, and keep any negotiations strictly business. And remember, no matter what price you set, your house is really only worth what someone’s willing to pay for it, Get expert help With such significant financial consequences at risk, it’s in your best interest to ask a Texas REALTOR® for help. In many cases, your Texas REALTOR® will develop a comparative market analysis (CMA), which compares your property to similar, recently sold homes. This is a time-tested way of getting an asking price in the right ballpark. Of course, each home is different – and that’s where a Texas REALTOR® can really clarify and fine-tune the pricing process. For more information about buying and selling real estate in Texas, I invite you to visit TexasRealEstate. com today.

Easy Homemade Dessert (NAPSA)—While most people agree homemade baked goods express your love in a delicious way, not everyone knows how easy they can be to make. Baking from scratch allows you to use fresh, wholesome ingredients with superior results and provides deluxe desserts in your own kitchen. Plus, baking from scratch is fun to do. What’s more, authentic homemade breads and desserts can be easy to create with the right ingredients and recipes. For example, 1-dish recipes from Fleischmann’s Yeast make baking with yeast simple, fast and delicious. All you need is 20 minutes of prep and 30 minutes to bake. Here’s why: • The recipes call for extra instant yeast to facilitate a speedy rise right in your oven. And using Fleischmann’s RapidRise Yeast is the fast way to bake with yeast. • Start with a COLD oven— no preheating needed. This allows for the yeast to rise as the oven warms to the proper baking temperature. • Kneading is eliminated—just mix right in the baking dish, top if directed and bake. Find a variety of 1-dish recipes from breakfast entrees, coffeecakes, main dishes and desserts at www.breadworld.com. Or, try this fantastic raspberry cheesecake featured in the “Bake For The Cure®” cookbook that can be made in under an hour:

This impressive raspberry-topped cheesecake is a fast and easy made-from-scratch dessert.

1-Dish Raspberry Cheesecake Prep time: 20 minutes Bake time: 30 to 35 minutes Makes: 8 servings

¼ teaspoon salt ¼ cup butter OR margarine, melted 2 ⁄3 cup very warm milk (120° to 130° F.) 1 egg Raspberry Sauce: 1½ cups frozen unsweetened raspberries ½ cup sugar 1 tablespoon Argo® OR Kingsford’s® Corn Starch 2 tablespoons cold water Cheesecake Filling: 1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened 1 egg ½ cup sugar 1 tablespoon Argo® OR Kingsford’s® Corn Starch ¼ teaspoon almond extract 3 tablespoons sliced almonds, optional

1½ cups all-purpose flour 2 envelopes Fleischmann’s® RapidRise Yeast ¼ cup sugar

Mix batter ingredients together in a presprayed 9½-inch pie plate. Allow mixture to rest

while preparing raspberry sauce and cheesecake. Combine raspberry sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes until sauce is thickened. Whip all cheesecake ingredients in a large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Top batter with cheesecake mixture, then raspberry sauce. Swirl mixtures together using a knife. Sprinkle almonds over top, if desired. Bake by placing in a COLD oven; set temperature to 350° F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until cheesecake is set.
