The many, many services the city provides that we expect, that we just take for granted, they don’t just happen.

‘Jack’ paralyzed after gunshot wound Freeman-Fritts AWS working on specialized rescue

By B ONNIE A RNOLD Staff Writer

A young Australian Shepherd was not securely confined by his owner in the ingram area, and the dog got more than he bargained for when he went wandering just before New year’s.

The small “Aussie,” now named Jack, is now in the care of Veterinarian dr. Shelby key and the staff and volunteers at Freeman-Fritts Animal Welfare Society facility.

He’s been making new friends every day since he arrived there; and proven to be pretty smart at figuring out who usually feeds him, and how to maneuver the doggie wheelchair they had for him to use.

But he had a very dangerous start at this new situation he’s in. key said the dog, an unneutered male with no collar, tags or microchip, was shot while on someone else’s property (not a crime), and all that made finding the dog’s owner very difficult. She added that the owner asked her who shot the dog, and claimed the dog didn’t get out of his control or property a lot.

Speaking before a large group of community and business leaders at the luncheon at the inn of the Hills, sponsored by the kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce, Mcdaniel cited energy here like never before, and a positive “can do” spirit that flows through all the relationships Mayor Bill Blackburn lauded in his introduction of Mcdaniel, as the event started.

Blackburn Blackburn told the audience that he

“got on a moving train in 2018” when he took office, calling it a great learning experience when many parts of the kerrville 2050 plan were already being formed.

Blackburn said he recently talked to middle school students and emphasized to them the importance of listening, leadership, keeping the “big picture” in mind, and compassion. He said those same attributes are part of the city’s plans in kerrville 2050; and said he’s found they also are consistent with the synergy See CiTy, Page 13A

Blood supply critically low, donors needed

Just seven days into the new year, blood donations in South Texas were already 400 donations behind goal, leaving the community with less than a half-day supply of blood available for patients in area hospitals, according to the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center officials.

The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center asked the community to make 2,160 donations of blood and platelets by Friday, Jan. 10, to end the shortage. A swell of donors pushed the center close to its holiday goal the last two weeks of december, but demand has continued to grow. in fact, the need for blood was 10 percent higher in the last month of 2019 than the final month of 2018.

With local schools and businesses still on holiday, there were no blood drives scheduled in three of the first seven days of the month, putting a dramatic strain on the blood supply. in addition, the blood center is seeing an increase in the number of donors who are ineligible to give blood.

“We’re hearing that many regular donors are unable to give

blood, whether because of flu, or severe allergies, or other illnesses, and donor deferral rates are up at many of our blood drives,” said Elizabeth Waltman, chief operating officer of South Texas Blood & Tissue Center.

Cancer patients like Reggie Campbell make up a large percentage of the need for blood and platelet transfusions.

Campbell, a San Antonio photographer, is battling leukemia for the third time in his life, and he needs regular transfusions of blood and platelets as he undergoes therapy and searches for a matching marrow donor. “you’re saving a life,” he said of giving blood. “you’re making patients feel more comfortable with whatever they are going through.” dramatically low blood supply levels can lead to the postponement of elective surgeries and treatments. it also leaves the community vulnerable to crisis events that may require large numbers of transfusions, since only the blood already on the shelves can be used in an emergency.

“Having an adequate blood sup-

The City of kerrville has extended its deadline for Requests for Competitive Sealed Proposals (RFP) regarding workforce housing projects from Jan. 7 until Jan. 30.

The City of kerrville invites sealed proposals from experienced and well-qualified development team(s) who have the capacity and expertise for mixeduse developments that includes a predominant residential component to provide workforce housing.

For purposes of this Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals (RFP), workforce housing is defined as housing for individuals and families that earn 80 percent to 120 percent of the area median income for kerr County, which is approximately $57,700 per Texas department of Housing and Community Affairs (TdHCA) 2019 Project income and Rent Tool

The City has a strong need for more attainable workforce housing, as more fully identified in the kerrville Housing Study and Strategic Plan 2019 adopted by Council on Oct. 8, 2019, to serve its residents and provide a more localized workforce for its employers.

The City owns approximately 34 acres on Loop 534 across from Tivy High School and the future middle school site (anticipated opening Fall 2021), and a construction contract for extension of Olympic drive was awarded Nov. 2, 2019 for complete access to the City’s subject property and adjacent landowners.

The City is open to a variety of building approaches, including public-private partnerships consistent with state law. The property may be developed for mixed uses ranging from high-density

The study is an outgrowth of her column and lessons are centered around topics she writes about. “i have had many ask me over my years of writing, to start a study to expound on what i write, and so i stepped out in September of 2018 and began the study, “The Gathering - Bringing God into Everyday Life,” Maxwell said.

The Gathering is a community Bible study, open to men and women of all faiths and is centered around everyday-life situations and life application of the Bible. The nine-week session will include topics Maxwell has written about and each participant will receive a study guide to take home to process the lesson more.

I also helped Phillip with his business, 'Elegance in Antlers,' making furnishings, from tables to chandeliers, featuring antlers. We discovered the Hill Country installing furniture in lodges here. We bought our first property in the Hill Country in 2000, and kept flipping it, waiting for an opportunity. The winters kept getting longer and more brutal.

Chrysler specialists who handle internet correspondence. "A lot of people play on the internet, shopping and researching cars. About 10 to 15 percent of them are really serious.

They'll email and say, 'Here's an ad from Boerne. What can you do?' it keeps us very competitive."

But she says she has some advantages at Crenwelge. "We're very customer-oriented. We don't have hidden fees, like when a dealer offers a vehicle for one price, but when you show up it has an alarm system that costs extra, and they won't remove it.

And we have a good service department that we're constantly improving. Walk-in traffic has dropped, but making sure customers always get what they need generates repeat business and referrals."

She says some of that repeat business comes from people who move to the Hill Country with brands of cars that aren't sold or serviced here, but which the Crenwelge service department can handle. When those customers need a replacement, they're likely to purchase a Crenwelge vehicle to eliminate the hassle.

"That's why i follow up with all my customers, and why the service department alerts us when a customer comes in. if a customer wants a Rhino Liner or grill-guard, i'll see that it gets done. We're selling cars now that have 12 to 50 personal settings, like pairing your phone, so new car delivery may take me 30 minutes to three hours."

Another part of her job, Torres says, is constant training. A lot of it is online, but she also attends classes, some locally and some in San Antonio. Sometimes she gets to do "rideand-drive" with new models or features to keep current.

She says, "Right now, we're learning about models with parking-assist. you drive down an aisle in the H-EB parking lot, push a button, select for a pull-in space instead of parallel, and when the car gets to an empty space it tells you to let go of the steering wheel. you control the gas pedal, but the car guides itself into the space."

She also helps her concerned customers. She says, "We get a lot of calls, or customers will walk in, because they've gotten letters saying their warranty is expiring and offering to 'renew' it. They may have years left on their coverage. it's the biggest scam we have to contend with as auto dealers."

Torres says she was born in Salt Lake City, and graduated from kearns High School. She started

dancing when she was three, participated in dance and drill teams in school, and grew up to be a member of the Rocky Mountain Folk dancers. They travelled to festivals world-wide where they performed clogging and exhibition square dances. She also sang, with members of her family, at family events.

She says, "i often sang with my mother, and one of the hardest things i did was sing at her funeral. But you can find the sun, if you only search."

After high school, she says she earned an associate's degree from Snow College, in Ephraim, in applied science. She also attended utah State university for a year. She worked for a vending service, then became a loan officer for First Security Bank. in 1985 she says she met Phillip Torres at a Mormon Church Meetand-Greet, and they married in 1987.

"Phillip and i built our home in Jordan, utah. i owned a Merle Norman studio for 15 years, then worked with special needs children at Terra Linda School and Wasatch Canyons. i also helped Phillip with his business, 'Elegance in Antlers,' making furnishings, from tables to chandeliers, featuring antlers. We discovered the Hill Country installing furniture in lodges here. We bought our first property in the Hill Country in 2000, and kept flipping it, waiting for an opportunity. The winters kept getting longer and more brutal. in 2011 we had an opportunity to buy a hunting lodge on six acres in ingram, and that's when we moved."

She says her son, Blade, was a freshman in high school, so he came with them and graduated from ingram Tom Moore in 2014. He lives in kerrville and works as a firefighter in Cibolo, having recently been promoted to driver. Their older daughter, Ajahnique, stayed in utah, where she has a very good job with eBay. Torres says when she moved to kerrville, her special needs experience led to a job at the Special Opportunity Center for six months. She then worked for Sodexo, while they had a contract with Schreiner university.

But in February of 2013 she says she found her place as the first woman service associate at Crenwelge Motors. She's also a member of the West kerr and kerrville chambers of commerce and the kerrville Networking Group, and she graduated from Leadership kerr County in 2017.

She says she and Phillip keep a fishing boat at Lake Amistad, and they go sailing with her in-laws.

They also got to watching football when Blade played for iTM, and now they tailgate to uTSA games.

Property tax deadline nears

Anyone who owns property in kerr County, whether that land serves as their permanent residence, a hunting getaway spot, an inheritance or the like, are being reminded that they have until the end of this month to pay their taxes.

The tax deadline is any time before or on Jan. 31, according to kerr County Tax Assessor-Collector Bob Reeves.

“We would encourage everyone who owes property taxes to make arrangements as quickly as possible to pay what’s owed. Beat the rush and mark that off your ‘to do’ list,” Reeves said. “if you miss the Jan. 31 deadline, then your property taxes will incur penalty fees and interest, both of which can quickly increase your total balance due.”

Property owners were notified of what they owe this year with tax statements that were mailed back at the beginning of October. kerr County’s tax offices collect tax payments from prop-

erty owners for all the local taxing entities in the county, except for the kerrville independent School district, which separately handles its own notices and collections.

Taxpayers can choose to pay in person at either of two county tax assessor-collector’s offices: • At the kerr County Courthouse, 700 Main Street in kerrville, in Suite 124 on the first floor; • At the West kerr Annex, 3350 Junction Highway in ingram.

As a quick reminder, all county offices (except emergency services) will be closed Monday, Jan. 20, in keeping with the federal holiday for Martin Luther king, Jr. day.

Taxpayers may also choose to pay their property taxes via u.S. Post Office mail, in which case they need to make sure their payment is postmarked no See TAXES, Page 8A

Valentine's day ideas abound at Cailloux Hill Country Community Journal

With St. Valentine's day only about a month away, it's not too early to start making plans, or dropping hints, for special ways to enjoy a romantic evening in kerrville. Playhouse 2000 and The Cailloux Theater have two ideas for entertainment that just might be the perfect choice.

Valentine's day is a Friday this year, so the celebration can spread out across the whole weekend. That makes the Playhouse 2000 production of the comedy "Sylvia" a perfect fit for the occasion.

Written by award-winning playwright A.R. Gurney, "Sylvia" tells a somewhat quirky tale of a man whose "midlife crisis" is not a sports car or a flirtation, but the adoption of a stray dog who captures his heart. in a unique twist, the role of the dog - the title character, "Sylvia" - is portrayed by an actress, allowing the audience to understand her thoughts and actions. Everyone can enjoy following Sylvia's progress from outcast to full-fledged family member, despite the wife's initial objections.

The performances of "Sylvia" actually begin on Jan. 31 and run through Valentine's day to Feb. 16 in the Vk Garage Theater. Performances times are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with two matinee performances on Sundays, Feb. 9 and Feb. 16, at 2:30 p.m. All tickets are just $22, general admission.

Another outstanding option for entertainment on Valentine's day is the Cailloux Performances presentation of "One Night in Memphis," the fifth offering in the series' 2019-20 season.

Based on the Off-Broadway smash hit musical "The Million dollar Quartet," "One Night in Memphis" celebrates the true story of a "jam session" held in the studios of Memphis' Sun Records. in a night that made musical history, Sun recording artists Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley alternately swapped solos and joined forces for hours.

Four talented performers backed up by a high-energy band re-create

that fateful night, performing songs made famous by these amazing artists at the heights of their careers, in a show that combines Rock-aBilly, Country, Gospel, and Rock-nRoll. The San Francisco Examiner simply calls it "...an amazing show."

"One Night in Memphis" will rock the Cailloux Theater on Valentine's Night, Friday, Feb. 14, at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are priced from $25 to $50 and good seats remain in most sections of the auditorium.

Tickets for either of these shows can be purchased at The Cailloux Theater Box Office, in person from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday, or 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, or by phone any time by leaving a detailed message at 896-9393.

Tickets can also be purchased at the kerrville Visitor's Center on Sidney Baker during their regular hours, and are available 24/7 online at www.CaillouxTheater.com - note that online orders will incur additional convenience charges.

19 tons of trash removed from Guadalupe River in 2019 The upper Guadalupe River Authority announced today that, in 2019, nineteen tons of trash was removed from in and around the Guadalupe River and its tributaries in kerr County alone.

“We are excited to announce that there was a decrease in the pounds of trash collected annually for the second year in a row after steady increases over the last several years. Although it’s too soon to draw any conclusions, we’re hopeful that it’s a sign of our awareness programs working. We remain dedicated to keeping our river clean and will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these programs,” said Ray Buck, uGRA General Manager. uGRA’s Trash-Free initiative program is comprised of two main components: 1) year-round routine garbage pickup at river crossings; and 2) the annual river clean-up. uGRA currently contracts with a local company, Garrett Services, to pick up trash at a number of low water crossings on the North Fork, South Fork, Town Creek, Johnson Creek and the main stem Guadalupe River throughout the year. in 2019, a total of 744 visits to fifteen different river crossings removed 27,300 pounds of trash. uGRA records the total amount

of trash collected on each day the river crossings clean-up is conducted. This year, June netted the most trash collected with a total of 5,685 pounds, with July and May close behind with 4,900 and 4,175 pounds, respectively.

The summer months are consistently the time of year when littering is at a peak, as many people gather near the Guadalupe River for recreation. This year, the largest single day total of 1,065 pounds of trash was collected immediately after the July 4th holiday. in addition to the year-round effort, uGRA hosts a river clean up day to promote awareness of the

it’s easy to start. you simply place a small dot of ink on paper ... and then another dot ... and then another.

This is an art technique known as stippling. Stippling is the use of dots to create shading, patterns, and texture in drawings. it is done by lightly touching a pen’s tip to the paper - leaving a single dot of ink. This process is repeated multiple times to create the finished work of art.

Guinness Book of World Records artist Jim Campbell will be offering two stipple drawing classes in the Hill Country. The public is invited to join either of

the fun and challenging art classes.

The one-day classes will be held on the following days: • Tuesday, Feb. 4, at the kerr Arts and Cultural Center. The cost will be $50 per person and all supplies will be provided. The enrollment deadline is Tuesday, Jan. 21.

• Thursday, Feb. 6, at the Hill Country Arts Foundation in ingram. The cost will be $50 for HCAF members and $75 for nonmembers. All supplies will be provided. The enrollment deadline is Monday, Feb. 3.

Both classes will be taught from 9 a.m. to noon and then from 2-4 p.m.

litter problem by involving the community.

The 16th Annual River Clean up was held on Saturday, July 27, 2019. A total of 10,695 pounds of garbage was collected by 526 participants working along the river from above Hunt all the way to the eastern edge of kerr County. The 2020 River Clean up will be held on July 25. during summer 2019 as a proactive measure to reduce littering, uGRA once again funded litter patrols with licensed peace officers at the most popular river crossings to promote the message, “Pack it in… pack it out.”

BETSY AND GEORGE MATTHEWS of Kerr County have loaned many pieces of their art collection to the Museum of Western Art for “The West in Winter” exhibit continuing at MOWA through March 28. A reception opened the exhibit recently.

Campbell has created a new stipple drawing kit named “dot-ALot.” in each kit, Campbell has provided a dotted sketch. it will be the student’s job to complete the drawing. As Campbell noted, “you and i will work together to create and complete your art project.” if you enjoy drawing or would like to learn to shade a drawing using the stippling method, now is the time to enroll. Class sizes are limited, so please don’t wait.

To register or for more information call Al Zirkel at the kACC at 895-2911 or Shelby Ligon at the HCAF at 367-5120.

in addition, uGRA’s environmental education programs focus on preserving the water quality of the Guadalupe River. uGRA also sponsors community groups that are enthusiastic about keeping the Guadalupe River and kerr County trash-free. Some groups organize routine events and uGRA provides supplies to support their efforts. Others contact uGRA for assistance with site selection, trash disposal, and supplies for their group’s community service project. if your group is interested in conducting a clean up event, contact uGRA for assistance.

City now hiring aquatics staff for the summer

Have you always wanted to be a lifeguard? do you enjoy working outdoors and being around water? if so, this job is for you. The City of kerrville is accepting applications for employment at the Olympic Pool this summer. Applicants must be at least 15 years old and be able to work regularly from late May through midAugust.

“There is no need to have a current certification prior to applying, because Ellis & Associates Lifeguard Training is provided through the Parks and Recreation department,” said Ashlea Boyle, director of Parks and Recreation. Training will be held in the spring.

“The lifeguards pay for their own training class; however, the City will reimburse this fee for those who complete employment through the summer and meet the eligibility criteria,” Boyle said. “Once received, the lifeguard license is valid for one year.

Training prerequisites include a 100yard continuous swim, treading water without using arms for one minute, and a brick retrieval from 16 feet.

Apply now as positions are limited and fill up quickly. it’s a great opportunity to meet new friends, learn valuable work skills, and make some summer cash.”

Applications are available at City Hall, located at 701 Main St., and at www.kerrvilletx.gov. Starting rate is $10 per hour for lifeguards. Positions are also available for cashier and management. Experience is required for management positions.

For more information, contact the Parks and Recreation department at 257-7300, recreation@kerrvilletx. gov, visit the city’s website at www.kerrvilletx.gov, or follow us on Facebook at City of kerrville TX – City Hall.

While all blood types are needed, the demand is especially high for type O-negative donors. O-negative donors make up just 7 percent of the population, but because Onegative blood can be used for any patient in an emergency, 12 percent of the orders from South Texas hospitals are O-negative.

South Texas patients also are needing more type O-positive blood – orders for O-positive rose 17 percent in 2019. donors can schedule an appointment at SouthTexasBlood.org/WeNeedyou.

THIS PAINTING, entitled “Breakthrough,” was created by artist Phil Bob Borman, who will the guest artist at the Jan. 21 meeting of the Kerrville Art Club.

The kerrville Art Club will hold its next meeting on Jan. 21 at 1 p.m.

The meeting location will be the Forum Room of the kerr Arts and Cultural Center at 208 Earl Garrett St., kerrville.

The public is invited to attend and doors are opened at 12:30 p.m.

January’s guest artist will be the renowned cloud artist Phil Bob Borman.

A graduate of Sul Ross university, he is an accomplished sculptor as well as artist. Borman considers art a visual language that, like a story, can bring a smile, create a mood and evoke an emotion.

He uses the tools of composition, form, color and light to relate the majesty of what he sees in God's creation.

Early in his career, Borman worked as a cowboy on West Texas ranches to support his sculpture endeavors.

Feeling a call to the ministry, he left art behind for a while. Then, he says, one day the Lord guided him to "start painting.” His stunning landscape vistas eventually turned into even more stunning and spectacular cloud paintings.

After twelve years of painting clouds and gaining national attention, Borman feels he has not even “scratched the surface” of what this genre has to offer. His attention to detail and striving for perfection in his artwork demonstrates his pursuit of excellence not only in his approach to painting but to his life as well.

After officers from kerr County Animal Services were called dec.

30 and picked up the dog, and his wound was first examined, Jack was transferred to Freeman-Fritts for more care and evaluation.

“We found his owner, and i talked to him, but he didn’t want to claim the dog and take care of this,” key said. “it makes it very difficult when people don’t care enough to get their pets microchipped or have registration tags, because that gives us pretty instant identification, especially in an emergency.”

That left the next decisions up to key.

Her first problem was that Jack had been shot in the chest and they needed X-rays first to evaluate the damage and his condition. FreemanFritts’ surgical center doesn’t have that equipment. karen Guerriero from the new kerrville Pets Alive nonprofit got involved to use social media to ask community residents for help with that medical cost; and FreemanFritts raised the funds to take the dog to local veterinarian dr. karl Hagemeier.

Jack, at that point, was still paralyzed in both the front and back, and couldn’t move or do anything else by himself.

She said Jack is approximately one year old and weighs 38 pounds. At that size, she and her staff can still pick him up to help move him, but he will be getting bigger. Aside from his gunshot injury, he’s generally healthy with a “super-sweet personality.” key said they provided life-saving efforts and there’s a cost to that. key said the dog first started trying to use his front legs, but had a hard time getting traction on the kennel floor. So they tried helping him by laying a rubber mat down, then a towel and a blanket, but he kept pushing them to one side, trying to move.

They were considering finding a yoga mat, when Jack figured it out for himself about Jan. 6.

“One day the kennel assistant had checked on Jack and accidently left the kennel gate unlatched. He was down the hall mixing up the bowl of special dog food, and we saw Jack scooting himself from the kennel, down the hallway,” key said. “He stopped at Benton’s feet and looked up at him, like he was asking, ‘is that my dinner?’”

To help Jack along, she got out a doggie wheelchair someone donated to the facility. key said Jack’s very smart and figured out quickly that he’d be in it and able to move if he helped by backing into it, where they could strap him in.

She said the dog got the two

wheels on the cart stuck a few times, but learned quickly how to back up and to turn to get where he wants to go.

They are taking him outside to the play-yard regularly now. key has copies of his X-rays showing a bullet still in his chest, where she can feel it not far under his skin. But the X-ray also shows at least two bullet fragments, and some gray-ish spots key thinks might be bone fragments.

“The X-ray clearly shows his spine is intact, but i don’t know if the bullet hit a rib. He’s still not moving his back legs and we can’t tell if the problem might be swelling or blood inside.”

As of last Friday, Jack was still at Freeman-Fritts. key has talked with some specialty rescue groups, trying to find a place with physical therapy services for the dog, including possibly acupuncture.

She said Jan. 10 that she thinks she found a good possibility in a rescue facility in New york run by a woman who can provide that kind of treatment for Jack.

“She has an underwater treadmill that would help him walk and still be supported in the front and back,” she said. “if there are no other changes or developments while he’s here, on Jan. 20, someone will drive him to the airport and he will be shipped on an air flight, probably a cargo plane

The Freeman-Fritts staff is covering the cost for this so far, but any donations that area residents are willing to give to them would be appreciated, if not for Jack’s care, for help for other animals, key said. donations can be sent by mail to Freeman-Fritts, 515 Spur 100, kerrville, Texas 78028; or the website at www.freemanfritts.com has a “donate” button with an option for “paypal.”

To purchase rafflet tickets, contact Prout at 739-8505 or any Rotarian.

Prout said Rotarians are working hard selling raffle tickets, signing up corporate table sponsors and planning a premier event for their guests.

This year Food Committee Chair kellie Early has added a vendor who will make an eight-foot pizza on site.” keeping with the tailgate party theme, guests will be invited to participate in a Cornhole tournament, compete in a basketball shooting contest and other activities for the chance to win valuable gift cards.

“We’ve stepped up our game this year and have added Las Vegas gaming tables,” Prout said. “Our guests can play black jack, craps or roulette for a chance to win prizes as well.”

Super Ball has also become an opportunity for the Rotary Club of kerrville to promote patriotism and

honor veterans and first responders.

schools and organizations.

“One of our newest efforts includes keeping the food pantry at the Hill Country Veterans Center filled,” said Super Ball Commitee Co-chair Stephanie Skrumeda. “We have learned that veterans are more apt to ask for help from other veterans than community organizations, so we make sure to help keep the pantry full for those who need it.”

Committee members are currently working with local businesses to secure corporate table sponsorships. individual tickets are available for $100.

School: Tally Elementary School.

Subject taught: kindergarten.

Years teaching: Two years.

Years at school/district: One year.

College: i have a bachelor of science in interdisciplinary studies from Texas State university.

Reason you chose a career in education: My mother, Bibi Brown, was a teacher for kiSd, and my grandmothers, irene Hoeldtke and kay Eissler, were also teachers. i grew up to love leading others and helping them learn.

Most enjoyable part of teaching: i love the kindergarten age group, because they are so sweet and love learning. it is wonderful seeing their growth during the year.

Hardest part of teaching: There seems to always be so much to do, but not near enough time to do it.

If I could change one thing in education it would be: i would wish for smaller class sizes, so we could have more one-on-one instruction time and have time to work with individual kids.

Other duties at school: i am on the Math/STEM committee.

Hobbies/interests: i love spending time and travelling with my family, and i like cooking and baking and all things artistic and crafty.

Personal history: i was born in New Braunfels, but we moved here when i was two. i attended Tom daniels Elementary, and up through Tivy High School, where i played all the sports and worked, through the PAL program, with students in the elementary schools. i graduated from Tivy in 2014, and my AP college credit classes let me get my degree from Texas State in three years, 2017. i taught at Hoffmann Lane Elementary School in New Braunfels for a year, then i came here to Tally. i live on my parents' ranch, where we have three dogs and two horses.

Recognitions/Inspiring Innovation The trustee meeting started with a student presentation for School Board Recognition Month, an annual observance each January.

A group of seven students from various campuses, and a principal substituting for a ninth one, lined up in the board room to recite an original “Ode to kiSd School Board,” an rhyming poem, two lines per student.

Trustees also received gift bags that included a printed copy of the same ode.

Also recognized at this meeting were nine members of the Tivy High School girls’ volleyball team whose season finished with a 31-12 record and a bi-district championship.

And Tivy football coach david Jones introduced senior (graduating) members of the Antler football team, saying it’s official, the Antlers were rated in Texas Football magazine as No. 10 on a list of the 10 best teams in Texas 5A football.

Each player introduced himself to trustees, answered questions about their future college and sports plans, and were complimented by trustees on their sports skills, student leadership and individual classroom performances.

Also applauded were a group of National Honor Society students who are working on a current project to build 12 wooden “little free library” “boxes,” and announced they gained funding from a presentation to the Friends of the ButtHoldsworth Memorial Library recently. They called their project a collaboration in community literacy; and said THS art students will paint the boxes.

The students have pledged to keep each little free library filled with books for a variety of ages of readers, and help children and adults maintain

a love for reading.

They said they also volunteer for Habitat for Humanity two days a week; and are building a greenhouse in the school shop to be used by Tivy’s special education students.

Policy updates Assistant Superintendent Wade ivy stepped trustees and the audience through a series of policy updates, the first of several they are likely to see in coming months, ivy said, following the State House and Senate bills concerning education that were passed in the last session.

Topics in the policy changes ranged from calling emergency meetings with certain advance notice; public participation at different meetings; who can handle investments; and safety program/risk management in emergency plans; to technology resources related to cybersecurity; how firearms are considered secured on campuses; and how school safety transfers from TEAdesignated “unsafe schools” are to be handled.

There also are new uiL rules for marching band members who will have to get physical exams; and a district can add that requirement to other groups, too.

TEA now wants “threat assessment reports” from districts, but ivy hasn’t seen a form for that yet.

A superintendent can suspend news releases under the Public information Act under certain emergencies such as fire or flooding.

Bond 2018 Update Superintendent dr. Mark Foust outlined updates in the 2018 Bond issue spending plans, saying they’ve split Package 2 (not the new HPMS or ag facility) into three planning sections to get good “guaranteed maximum pricing.”

Roofs and HVAC will be handled first.

Second will be “21st century renovations” that includes flexible learning spaces. Foust said special glass walls and other materials for those proved expensive, and now, only the elementary spaces are guaranteed unless they can save some money

elsewhere.

Last to be handled will be “civil improvements” to include drainage and AdA accessibility.

Foust said if things are cut in the second section, they will bring back a few things to section three including a roofed link between the two buildings at daniels Elementary.

He said the Tivy Ag facility design will be done by March or April, bid in May, and construction could run late June this year to April 2021. At the new HPMS, he said they could be pouring concrete by late January.

And kiSd will hold a second bond sale in late January.

Proposed 2020-21 school calendar ivy showed trustees and the audience a look at a proposed 2020-21 school calendar as formed by campus representatives.

He said two versions were sent to campuses in december for comparison and this version was preferred by about two-thirds of those responding. ivy said that was probably because this one includes a full week off for Thanksgiving 2020, a winner they tried last November which proved popular.

Having the next school year end for students Friday, June 4, 2021, wasn’t unpopular enough to change their selection, he said. Graduation in 2021 also would be on June 4.

This calendar has school starting next August on the fourth Monday, Aug. 24, and includes a two-week Christmas vacation, and Spring Break March 15-19 with a possible extra day March 12, if not needed for bad weather make-up day. ivy said this calendar also meets the requirements of the kiSd’s position as a district of innovation.

A future vote will finalize the choice of the next school calendar.

A couple trustees asked if ivy could add notes on the calendar for STAAR testing dates, for parents’ information. He said that would be difficult to add to the already listed “legend” but they might be able to issue a second calendar sheet with those dates marked.

with kerrville iSd, Schreiner university and other entities.

The mayor said these same relationships have resulted in a meeting recently at the doyle School Community Center about the “New Hope” grant and the ways that money will benefit that community.

He also said he really likes the City of kerrville staff and how they serve citizens. He told a story about seeing an “old guy” (and adding he really knows “old”) who made his slow way to the front of City Hall to a bench, and was helped by a utility department staffer who saw him through her window and went outside to give him one-on-one customer service.

About City Council, Blackburn said, “Council members listen to people with respect” because they also like and respect each other first.” “you’d be surprised, but the mayor has limited authority” he told the crowd.

Blackburn introduced Mcdaniel as “a bulldog on implementing kerrville 2050” and saying the city manager is so intent on this that he got the mayor socks that say kerrville 2050 for all to see.

McDaniel The city manager said what started the kerrville 2050 Plan happened two years ago in the same inn of the Hill Conference Center room when they first launched the plan.

“When kerrville 2050 was adopted in June of 2018, the community accomplished something that has never before been attempted – the creation of a common vision and direction by the community, for the community.”

He said city staff and council and other boards and commissions are now accomplishing that vision in real, tangible ways.

He said there has been and will be disagreements and debate at times on how this vision will be achieved; and everyone will not agree with everything in the plan. But he sees clear vision, positive direction and growing momentum.

Mcdaniel said since adoption of kerrville 2050, more than 144 separate actions have been taken by City Council to execute parts of the plan;

Hill Country Community Journal

and added actions by staff to advance the plan as well.

He said he would outline accomplishments, what’s in progress and what is next in 2020; and donned his kerrville 2050 ball cap and invited all attending to claim theirs on the tables.

The plan’s Vision Statement was displayed, and Mcdaniel asked all audience members at the luncheon who served on the Steering Committee and subcommittees to stand and be recognized for their work.

He said they got to the Vision statement after surveys, open houses, a half-day community retreat and Steering Committee work.

“Vibrant, welcoming and inclusive” is the first section; and Mcdaniel discussed citizen involvement on 17 city boards and commissions.

Of those, he said the Senior Services Advisory Committee, kerrville 2050 Code Review Committee, and Mayor’s Task Force on Workforce Housing are new, and the Main Street Advisory Board reinstated.

He also reminded the audience about their biannual citizen survey, a new Neighborhood Enhancement Team, and new city app, in addition to traditional and social media.

Natural environment The next section was about respecting and protecting the natural environment here, and a short video of Councilwoman delayne Sigerman was displayed, discussing this topic.

Mcdaniel’s list ranged from a new River Trail Master Plan and an extension of the trail to Su (where he said concrete was being poured as he spoke), to less public projects such as a long-range water supply plan, and a new major groundwater/ASR well.

He also mentioned examining the feasibility and funding for a possible public-private partnership for a new boating center on Nimitz Lake.

With regard to tourism, Mcdaniel showed a chart of the rise in hotel occupancy tax revenue 2010-19, while acknowledging kerrville is “still more of a weekend market.”

Economic growth On attracting more economic growth and developments, Mcdaniel displayed a short video of Councilwoman kim Clarkson speaking from in front of the new HEB store construction.

Mcdaniel talked about regional retail; improving the city development

process with code rewrites, adoption of the city’s first-ever drainage master plan, extending Olympic drive to Loop 534 as part of kiSd’s construction of the new Hal Peterson Middle School; and what he called “actively working on a possible new full-service hotel and conference center.” On that last topic, Mcdaniel said they will know this year if this is a “go” or “no go.”

Another chart showed major employers, job totals and an estimate that those numbers will increase by about 690 more, the next year. He briefly listed where new jobs might or will come from, including Hobby Lobby, the HEB expansion, Harbor Freight, Cane’s and the possible Marriott.

Others will be in growth of existing businesses and industry.

Another chart tracked property values 2010-2020; and yet another, increases in sale tax revenues.

Prosperity, personal enrichment, intellectual growth This section was introduced in a video of Councilman Gary Cochrane standing on the Su campus.

He and Mcdaniel talked about the new Town & Gown Agreement, kiSd’s bond issue success, and completion of a housing study. Mcdaniel talked about The Landing on Spur 98, and Vintage Heights on State Hwy. 16; and showed charts about home construction costs, saying the city is working to do this in a way to preserve this small-town culture.

A short video was shown with Councilwoman Judy Eychner speaking from near the Arcadia Theater downtown and also commenting on the kuTS proposal and the doyle

Community Center and surrounding area.

Mcdaniel discussed the future of the A.C. Schreiner home, downtown parking garage repairs and enhancements, and new funding for neighborhood sidewalks and street lighting as part of “preserving small-town charm.”

He outlined a separate section on the shortage of workforce housing as “the most important issue facing our economic future.”

We have an obvious shortage, he said, and added, “Simply put, we must be willing to incentivize workforce housing, both for sale and rental property, to make sure that the people who work here can live here.”

He included a chart of “housing units by year structure built,” noting building housing units was strong for five decades, but had a major decline in 2009; and said the city still has not recovered that level of the economy.

He illustrated Fy19 home sales by price range, and talked about current potential demand for rental units and homes for sale, and the emphasis on moderate-priced rentals.

Closing thoughts “Change will come, but with kerrville 2050, the community will be in the driver’s seat,” Mcdaniel said.

“Even if we do not want change, it will occur. kerrville 2050 is all about having a 30-year plan to realize the community’s vision in the midst of that change.”

He said this vision is as much for future generations in the city as for current citizens; and that he is blessed to serve one of the finest City Councils and city staffs he has ever worked for, in 33 years in this career.

The clinics will be held at two county locations, one at Turtle Creek Volunteer Fire department.

Givens also will be putting up signs about this annual vaccination drive on the kerr County Courthouse lawn.

For comparison, the current fees are $5 for neutered and spayed pets and $10 for non-neutered or nonspayed cats and dogs.

Givens was asked his opinion if an annual vaccinations drive is too often, or the right timing. He said arguments could be made for both sides.

Asked about that east campus, McCullough said they put in a walking path from the plant to the Guadalupe River bank and installed benches and a “washer pit” for employees’ use.

VFD Contracts Commissioners approved contracts with some volunteer fire departments, after receiving the signed paperwork from ingram, Tierra Linda, Elm Pass, divide and Hunt VFds. The court expects signed contracts from the remaining VFds to be received in the near future.

Pathway, VAMC to Flat Rock Park Commissioner Tom Moser, Pct. 2, reported to colleagues on a proposed improved pathway from the kerrville VA Medical Center to Flat Rock Park for easier access by veterans, whether walking or in motorized scooters or wheelchairs.

Moser said this is in conceptual stages, but conversations have started among kerr County, City of kerrville, the VA, Texas department of Transportation and Maldonado’s landscaping business.

He said the city would have to improve the short piece of Tucker Road; and Maldonado’s delineate a driveway separate from a road with a sidewalk there.

Bill graduated from high school in 1939 and immediately joined the u.S. Army. He went into Europe on June 6, 1944, on Omaha Beach, fought across France and Belgium, and was wounded in January, 1945, during the Battle of the Bulge. He was awarded the Bronze Star.

Bill had been a volunteer fireman, Lions Club member, lifetime Mason and Order of the Eastern Star. He also was a board member of the First united Methodist Church in Junction and elder at the First Christian Church in kerrville.

After the war, Bill worked for the West Texas utilities Company in Ballinger and was transferred to Junction in 1947. While there, he met best friend and partner, W.H. “Smokey” Meredith. They formed a floor covering, electrical, and appliance store and later joined Lloyd “Butch” Williamson to form and build Junction Cable View. Bill later retired from the kerrville VA Hospital as an electrician.

Billy, or “Willie” as most people knew him, was born to Hattie May Jenkins and William Calvin Mcdaniel in Haskell, Texas on May 19, 1936, the fifth of seven children.

Billy and his family moved to kerrville in 1939 where he attended public schools, graduating mid-term of his senior year in 1955 to join the

Charlie Hastings, commissioners set a public hearing on Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. to adopt a new kerr County Flood Prevention Order (revising previous order No. 32024) to include changes made by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Those changes apply to the kerr County Flood insurance Study, and five Flood insurance Rate Maps (0600G, 0625G, 0650G, 0750G and 0775G) to be dated May 15, 2020 by South kerr County Medina Watershed.

Another workshop topic should be on the county’s capital improvement projects, kelly said, including information from a property owner who has asked to appear in court in the near future to discuss property that could be used by the county.

Billy married Vickie Loraine Pence on June 6, 1958. To this union were born three children: Billy Wayne Mcdaniel Jr., deanna Loraine Mcdaniel Parker and Timothy Wayne Mcdaniel Parker. in the fall of 1967, it was love at first sight for Billy when he laid eyes on his “Sweet Baby” and on May 29, 1970 he married Edna Mae Guy. To this union was born Melanie Mae Mcdaniel.

Billy worked at a variety of places in kerrville, including golf caddying, paper boy, delivery for the RC Cola route and quality control inspector for Mooney Aircraft Corporation. in 1978, he opened Security Finance in kerrville and in both 1979 and 1980, received top manager of his area. He concluded his working career as a CNA for both the kerrville State Hospital and the V.A. Medical Center where he retired in 1995.

Perhaps one of his proudest moments was when he was recognized by the Tivy Booster Club for being a “faithful fan” and not missing a Tivy Football game from 1969-1996. in 2008, he was interviewed by kVHC at halftime about being Tivy’s “Super Fan” and in actuality, continued to go to every single home game until his health started failing in 2017.

Thought for the Month

"Do not think that what your thoughts dwell upon is of no matter.

Your thoughts are making you." – Bishop Steere

yes, you can transform yourself and your life by renewing your thoughts. A negative, defeatist attitude toward life and its problems can only bring negative end results. A positive attitude toward life attracts positive results.

How you look at a problem makes all the difference. it is an interesting phenomenon how two people view the same situation so differently, according to how they think.

Have you ever thought about why some people say a day is partly sunny and others, commenting on the same day, will say it is partly cloudy? Or if a glass of water is half full, one person will think of it as half full; another person will think of it as half empty. Who's the optimist . . . who's the pessimist? yes, how you look at a problem, how you look at life, determines whether it will be happy, full, and rewarding . . . or gloomy, depressing, and unrewarding . . .

What are your thoughts on your life today? Today is a new day!

Tivy Girls Basketball quarter ended with Tivy and the visiting Lady Indians deadlocked 15-15 in a game that wrapped up the first round of District 26-5A girls’ basketball Friday.

Tivy outscored Harlandale 46-20 over the final three frames to post a 61-35 win and improve to 7-1 in loop play prior to beginning the second half of the league schedule.

Despite the final margin of victory, it appeared Harlandale was spoiling for an upset against the Lady Antlers (21-4 overall), who

seemed a bit sluggish to begin the game before finding their spark in the second period.

“Harlandale is scrappy, feisty and well coached. They keep coming at you,” Tivy coach Christy Dill said.

“I was a little disappointed in our defensive communication. This was not up to our usual defensive standards, but it was still good.”

Harlandale edges Tivy, 60-55 Indians hand Antlers first setback in District 26-5A action

By B illy N aBours Sports Writer

SAN ANTONIO – In a battle between two District 26-5A unbeatens, the Tivy Antlers came away with their first loop setback after the Harlandale Indians edged them 60-55 on Friday.

The game was close at halftime when Harlandale led 34-31, and Tivy outscored the Indians 15-14 in the fourth quarter, but the third quarter proved the difference maker when Harlandale was 12-9 better than the Antlers.

Jackson Young led Tivy in scoring with 19 points, followed by Abraham Viera with 17 and Jackson Johnston young with 10. Will Johnston added five points, and

Caleb Fineske scored four.

The loss halted Tivy’s 10-game win streak, leaving the Antlers 5-1 in district play and 16-8 overall.

Earlier in the week, Tivy held off loop rival Boerne Champion 50-46 on Tuesday, handing the Chargers their first district loss in front of a fired-up crowd at Antler Gym. A speed bump showed up in the second quarter when Viera had to sit the entire period due to two early fouls sustained in the opening eight minutes. Viera scored seven of Tivy’s points in the first and, along with Young, had the Antlers within striking distance after the opening salvo, although Champion led 16-15.

Viera eventually finished the game with 15 points and Young supplied 19, with 15 of those coming from three-point range.

With one-half of their usual scoring tandem sidelined, the Antlers reached into their bag of grit, which included outstanding defensive efforts from John Henry Hayes, Christian Gorham, Demetrius Cubbage, Young, Fineske, Will Johnston, and Niko Nieto. The group limited Champion to just three points and provided enough offensive power with 11 points to jump Tivy in front, 25-19, at halftime.

NATALIA — The Center Point girls’ powerlifters finished fourth in season-opening competition at the Natalia meet.

PHARR – Our Lady of the Hills’ recent winning streak in boys’ soccer play was snapped by Pharr Oratory, 3-0, in TAPPS Division III District 4 road action Saturday.

Center Point Powerlifting “The girls are led by our lone senior, who is returning state qualifier Lizzy Bustamante,” Center Point coach Mario Laque said.

While Bustamante may be the only senior, there is plenty of returning experience to make things interesting for another Lady Pirate run at plenty of gold. Junior Cesi Ramirez, along with sophomores Chastity Holt, Karina Longoria, Alyssa Marlowe, Kiersten Adams and Teresa Valadez, are all returning lettermen. Holt was a state medalist last year.

At Natalia’s meet, Holt and Longoria brought in silver medals, and Bustamante garnered bronze.

Placing in the top six among their respective categories were Maddie Steele in fourth, and Ramirez and Estasia Wilson with fifth-place finishes.

Other team members include Sadie Duran, Chloe Williams, Clarissa Olvera, Micaela Quillamaco and Natalie Whitworth.

“The girls are hungry. They embrace the challenge of being the smallest school at most meets, and competing against the best in the region,” Laque said.

The Lady Pirates will compete next at Uvalde on Jan. 25.

----Center Point’s powerlifting program has traditionally been strong on the girls’ side of the weightroom, but this season there looks to be something positive coming up for the boys as well, based on their third-place finish at last week’s Natalia Strong Meet.

The Pirates trekked to Natalia and compiled a first and second place to highlight their efforts which consisted of lifts in squat, bench and deadlift.

Center Point’s Derek Valadez claimed the top spot in the 123pound class, and teammate Tyler Williams finished second.

In the 148-pound category Eladio Arreola placed fourth, while Abel Bustamante was in the same spot among competitors in the 198-pound division, and Jake Laque placed sixth.

Other team members include Sammy Bustamante, Haiden Hass, Alexis Hernandez, Kevin Ceiniceros, Mike San Miguel, Junior Arreola, Omar Martinez, Jose Mendoza, Austin Lyman, Eddie Flemma, Stephan Arreola, Bryan Arreola and Michael Haese “I’m excited by the large numbers we have for the boys’ side this year,” Mario Laque said. “It will no doubt help them in their other sports. We are getting stronger and more confident on the platform.”

Next meet up for the Pirates is at Uvalde on Jan. 25.

Hawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

numbers in each of the final three periods, and OLH managed no more than nine in any of the last three quarters.

Earlier in the week, OLH’s defense of its TAPPS Class 3A state championship and District 4 title took an early hit when the Hawks fell 76-44 to loop rival San Antonio Castle Hills Tuesday at Cailloux Gym. Ibarra came away with 16 points to pace the Hawks and Matthew Herndon added 10.

Dalton Herndon scored seven, Sam Cummings six, William Cummings three, and Harris two.

oLh’s aBBy miChaLak prepares to boot a ball during the Lady Hawks’ 7-2 win over New Braunfels Christian Academy in TAPPS Division III District 4 soccer action last week at the Kerrville Sports Complex.

The Hawks had won four straight before Saturday’s setback, and at 4-4 in district play OLH is now facing some pressure games ahead, starting with San Antonio Atonement on Monday at Kerrville’s Sports Complex.

“Pharr was able to capitalize on a set piece and a cross in the first half, so in the second half we threw more players forward,” OLH coach Garrett Kull said. “We had a lot of great chances, but we just weren’t able to finish them. This is the toughest point in our season because each game becomes critical as we start having to figure out what we need to happen to make playoffs.”
