‘Arcadia l ive’ to become premier entertainment venue

it’s finally happened … the Arcadia t heater will be brought to life in the form of a live music and event venue.

Kerrville’s Fourth o n the r iver, the non-profit corporation responsible for the annual Fourth of July celebration in l ouise h ays Park, formally announced last week that they have taken ownership of the historic Arcadia t heater in downtown Kerrville. t he once-vibrant venue has been closed since the 1980s and has changed hands several times until most recently being owned by Steven and Shawna h user, who gifted the 14,000 sq. ft. building to KFo r in late 2018.

KFo r started the Fourth of July celebration in the park in 2012 and has grown the event to become one of the largest free concerts in t exas, with approximately 8,000 attending each year.

After the theater officially changed hands, the KFo r board hired Anne o verby as the diretor of development to spearhead the marketing effort in the lcoal community in March 2019. “l arry h oward (KFo r t reasurer) contacted me in January and shared this exciting opportunity. h aving lived in Kerrville for 27 years and investing in the local community through my civic duties and husband’s business, i’ve watched the Arcadia t heater sit empty while the rest of the downtown area has been revitalized and become a vibrant business center,” o verby said. “i love Kerrville, and when presented with the chance to help bring the Arcadia back to life … well, it didn’t take much convincing. i couldn’t wait to join their team.” t he KFo r Board of d irectors has established a goal to open the theater on July 3, 2020, following an extensive remodel, o verby said. “t ogether we have pulled together a plan to reopen the historic Arcadia t heater with the goal of providing a See Ar c Ad iA, Page 14A File Photo

o lympic d r. extension tops c ouncil agenda

c itizens also note Kc Ad property valuations

By B ONNIE A RNOLD Staff Writer

Annexation and funding items related to the extension of o lympic d rive topped the April 23 Kerrville c ity c ouncil meeting.

Public hearing, annexation t his was the first of two items related to the planned extension of o lympic d rive to connect the current road with l oop 534 in front of t ivy h igh School, providing access to the new h al Peterson Middle School to be built on property adjoining the new road. d rew Paxton said Kerrville independent School d istrict requested this annexation and it has been recommended for approval by the city’s Planning and Zoning c ommission. t wo readings of the annexation ordinance will follow this public hearing.

Mayor Bill Blackburn asked when the traffic study on the new road, requested by council, will be finished. d eputy c ity Manager e .A. h oppe said that study was

“in process” but not finished.

Blackburn said he’s been receiving citizen comments about that, especially any possible bottlenecks with traffic from two schools on the new road and at the light on the loop, plus through the existing neighborhood above d aniels e lementary School.

Blackburn said he cannot vote on this annexation question until he sees the traffic study. c ouncilman George Baroody asked Paxton for an estimate when t exas d epartment of t ransportation will be done with the traffic review. Paxton was unsure. c itizen Stephanie Stewart, a resident of San Jacinto d rive above d e S, told council she and her family already have problems there, through their neighborhood, from the d e S traffic. She asked for “huge speed bumps, especially for the t ivy kids,” and a traffic light to be installed at the o lympic/Singing Wind d rive intersection.

Understanding the property tax appraisal process

t he recent release of 2019 Kerr county property appraisals has prompted several calls to the c ity of Kerrville regarding the property appraisal process.

Property valuations are determined by the Kerr c entral Appraisal d istrict and by law are based on Kc Ad ’s assessment of a property’s fair market value, or the price of similar property in the same locality.

Kc Ad is an independent government entity with a governing board that hires a chief appraiser, but by law the Board cannot interfere with the day-to-day operations of the Kc Ad staff, a group of trained and certified professionals. c entral Appraisal d istricts are regulated by the State c omptroller’s o ffice, which regularly reviews and audits c Ad s by testing values and evaluating appraisal methods and procedures. State funding for school districts is impacted if the c omptroller finds that a c Ad does not appraise at fair market value. t axing entities such as the Kerrville independent School d istrict, the c ity of Kerrville, Kerr c ounty, the Upper Guadalupe r iver Authority and the h eadwaters Groundwater c onservation d istrict all collect property taxes based on Kc Ad ’s appraised property values, but none of these entities have any influence over Kc Ad operations or the property values they set. t his “arm’s length” relationship is set by statute in order to protect the independence of the appraisal districts and to separate the property value setting function from the property tax rate setting function.

A breakdown of recipients of annual property tax collections in Kerr County are as follows:

in the case of the c ity of Kerrville, property tax collections pay for basic city services like police, fire, parks, library, permitting and code enforcement. in fact, the c ity’s property tax allocation is only a small portion of a citizen’s overall property tax bill. t he c ity of Kerrville has not increased its property tax rate in 10 years, and in fact reduced the rate to the current $0.5514 per $100 of assessed value (shown above) in 2017, based off modest growth in overall property valuations in the community over time. in addition, the t ax increment r einvestment Zone that the Kerrville c ity c ouncil established in 2018 does not factor into Kc Ad ’s property appraisal process. t he t ir Z is simply an imaginary line set around an area of the city, in this case a defined “downtown boundary,” in which incremental increases in tax collections in that area are designated to be used only within that same area for specific purposes, such as public infrastructure. Property owners in the t ir Z pay the exact same property tax rate as the rest of the city.

c alling for impeachment

To the editor: “There was a crooked man, And he walked a crooked mile; He found a crooked sixpence Upon a crooked stile; He bought a crooked cat, Which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together In a little crooked house.” t his rhyme reveals a known crook with a track record of amoral behavior. it observes his life step-bystep. Finally, those associated with him become trapped in a crooked house.

President d onald J. t rump is a man so audacious that we citizens see and hear his character. h is pat-

tern of lying and stealing both things and values honored by moral people is apparent. h e is not a man in whom we can entrust any portion of government. t herefore, it is my opinion that we must impeach him for misdemeanors and perhaps even for high crimes. impeachment is not only a legal process decided in the courts for treason; it is also a political process by which the American people and their elected officials can remove a president for misdemeanors.

not change us. it is as we take God’s word and apply it and develop an experience with God, that the word becomes life and truth to us. e xperience makes us rich. When you experience something, you really begin to know what the situation is like. isaiah 30:18 sums things up and declares that we are blessed when we wait on God. it says, “y et the l ord longs to be gracious to you; h e rises to show you compassion, For the l ord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for h im!” (n iV) c rying out to God, hanging on when we want to give up, and reminding ourselves of truth, strengthens us.

Waiting on God’s redemption and putting our hope in h im is good for us. it strengthens and enlarges us; therefore, our challenges become our opportunities to grow. t he growth is often not easy, but one day we will experience h is full redemption of the situation. Sometimes i have had to wait years for the full redemption, however, it always comes because God is faithful.

Psalms 27:14 says, “Wait for the l ord; be strong and take heart and wait for the l ord.” (n iV) God is in the waiting, and is developing many things in us in that time when we wait. Waiting and hope are not wasted when we wait on God. What do you need to do? c ry out, wait, make forgiveness a habit, preach to yourself or hope? Pick one and get started! Just do it. h e is waiting on you.

Are you just waiting or are you waiting on h im?

word, i put my hope.” (n iV) i feel the Psalmist is preaching to himself here. i do that a lot. in the stormy times we have the word of God to hang onto and we need to remind ourselves of the truth. “Wait” in this passage is translated “to bind, to twist, to expect, to collect.” in the waiting time we have the opportunity to bind ourselves to God, to develop faith, as we put our expectation in h im and collect things necessary for the next part of the journey. Waiting is a gathering time. t hen the writer of Psalms reminds us to put our hope in the l ord for with h im is unfailing love and full redemption. What a promise to hang onto. r edemption means recovering, saving, or honoring. Sometimes the salvation in the storm comes as God guides us through the rain. o ther times h e rescues us. o ne thing is for sure, h e is always loving us and right there. t he longer i walk with God, the more i am aware of h is presence with me. h is presence has become my security blanket and gives me confidence to step out and walk on the water. An awareness of God’s presence did not just come from reading the scripture. i have studied the Bible for years. it did not come from listening to a good sermon. i knew the verses and had them memorized.

An awareness of h is presence came as i waited on God, looked to h im to guide me through the storms of heartache, betrayal, disappointment. it came as i faced life-altering illnesses with loved ones and as i put my hope in h im. An awareness of h is unfailing love came as i poured out my heart in anguish in the depths of despair and wondering if i could survive. Sermons, memorizing, reading often does

c ountry music great Johnny Bush to perform May 12 t he country music classic “Whiskey r iver” as recorded by Johnny Bush was named by the l ibrary of c ongress as one of the “t op t wenty c ountry Standards of All t ime.” t his wasn’t news to lovers of t exas c ountry. t hose music lovers will have a chance to see Johnny Bush live at the c ailloux t heater on Sunday, May 12 at 3 p.m.

A protégé of the legendary r ay Price, t exas’ own Johnny Bush earned a place in the hearts of traditional country fans across the world with a voice that earned him the moniker “c ountry c aruso.” t hat voice hasn’t always been available to hear live.

“Whiskey r iver” was Bush’s first single for r c A records, taking the airwaves by storm back in 1972.

Bush’s nationwide tours in support of that single were selling out big clubs when the first symptoms of vocal trouble started to appear.

After many visits to doctors and

voice specialists, Johnny finally got a diagnosis of “Spasmodic d ysphonia,” a rare neurological disorder that affects the signals between the brain and the voice box, essentially shutting down the muscles around the vocal chords.

With only experimental treatments available, Johnny spent years working his way through the condition that brought his career to a virtual halt. in 1985, Bush met speech therapist Gary c atona, whose innovative exercises allowed him to regain a large part of his singing range and speech skills. t hese were the first steps in the renaissance of his career. t he development of novel treatments with Botox at the turn of the twenty-first century allowed Johnny to lay full claim to his c aruso-like range once again. Since that time, he’s released a dozen studio albums, including his most recent, “t he Absolute Johnny Bush.”

Along with his band “the Ban-

doleros,” Bush is back in full voice and back on tour. h e’ll present all of his hits on May 12 at 3 p.m. in the c ailloux t heater. t ickets range from $20 to $40 for reserved seating. Advance sales are available at the c ailloux t heater Box o ffice by telephone at 896-9393 or at the walk-up window from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. o nline sales are open 24/7 at www.c aillouxt heater.com. n ote that convenience fees apply to online sales. t his concert is made possible by sponsors c renwelge Motors, r e/Max Kerrville, the c enter for r esearch and Academic e xcellence, d r. Sharon Mock, and Arthur Bell. t he c ailloux t heater is one part of the Kathleen c . c ailloux c ity c enter for the Performing Arts, managed on behalf of the c ity of Kerrville by Playhouse 2000, inc.

President Kennedy set the Manned l unar Mission in motion on May 25, 1961 before a joint session of c ongress: “i believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the e arth. n o single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish ... in a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the Moon ... it will be an entire nation.

For all of us must work to put him there.” t he “Apollo 11 t ribute” is led by astronauts, mission control directors, and engineers.

with the clients, and find out what their basic requirements are. t hen we plan space to meet those requirements, for instance how big an area it will take for so many people to perform their work. o nce we identify all the parts, we look at how the pieces relate to each other, how each department interacts with other departments, and with the public. "t hen we look at the land available. We visit the site, and see how everything fits. We also go to look at similar facilities that already exist. For instance, we recently visited the San Antonio 911 complex, relating what we saw there to what Kerr c ounty might need in a 911 building.

"At that point it becomes a matter of balancing the space the clients want with the dollars required to build it. t hen we produce the working drawings to tell the contractor how to build the project. i can't say we've always been on budget, what with building costs being so volatile over the past couple of decades, but we always finish the project on time." l ewis says he was born in Baltimore, but his family moved to h ouston when he was eight. h e basically grew up there, with the exception that his father was transferred to Manila, in the Philippines, when he was 14 and 15. "it was world travel. i got to see the t aj Mahal and r ome's c oliseum, and visit Paris. i attended an international school and got to study with kids from many different countries. But my father

Meg works in Austin for an apartment locater, and Jacob is in Kerrville, one of the "+ associates." Sandy is their part-time bookkeeper.

While they were dating, l ewis earned his architecture degree from t exas t ech University in 1977, and says he interned for four summers with Woodrow Alexander Architect in h ouston, then went to work for them. "t hat's where i learned the fundamentals; Woodrow was my mentor." h e says he moved to Austin and got married in 1980, and after gaining his t exas Architect's l icense in 1981, formed a partnership, d ekker, Wymer, l ewis Architects, for 10 years. "t hat's where i developed a relationship with h -e -B, which i still have to this day. it added a lot of credibility to my work. We also hired a graphic designer to develop a logo, and when one of the partners said he wanted to branch off into houses and told me i could have one thing from the partnership, that's what i asked for. We're still using it for our logo today." l ewis says he was working in Austin in 1991 when he first visited Kerrville. "i came for a Walk to e mmaus at Mount Wesley. it was in September, and it was a gorgeous weekend in a wonderful place. i got to thinking how great it would be to raise our children

here. We moved to Kerrville in 1993. "h owell r ideout, Wynn Kilgore and i formed the Artisan Group, and ran it for 10 years. Among other projects, we designed a number of churches, including First Methodist in Boerne, and t rinity Baptist and Zion l utheran in Kerrville." in 1998 l ewis says his daughter, Meg, then eight, got a role in the Point t heatre production of "Annie Get y our Gun." At her rehearsals he met Joe Brooks, Andy and Sally r itch, then d oug and Susan Balentine, and soon found himself on stage. h e also worked with them renovating the c ailloux t heater, VK Garage t heater, and the Werlein Building. in 2003 he formed Peter l ewis Architect + Associates. h e says their current projects include Schreiner University's Baldwin r esidence h all, Peterson Medical's third floor c ardiology Group offices in the c ailloux Professional Building, and 50 acres along the Guadalupe r iver on

t hompson d rive which will be a mix of commercial space and 120 apartments for Macd onald c ompanies; and the t exas Wildlife Association's new headquarters. l ewis says he's doing so while following the second guideline he learned at the conference so long ago; "Attention to detail in all things."

cil in a separate vote.

A separately numbered item authorized execution of a professional services agreement with c ivil e ngineering c onsultants of San Antonio for the design and engineering of the o lympic d rive extension in the amount of $156,000.

Alan l indskrog, a representative of the engineering firm, was questioned about expected waterflow off the hilltop site for h PMS, and said the 35-acre property has three natural watersheds. t hose allow flow onto nearby city property, into a culvert at the northeast end of the new school and from the school property onto Schreiner University property. t his also passed by a 5-0 vote.

Presentation, ‘Water Now Alliance’ c ouncilmen Vincent Voelkel and Baroody reported that they attended a “Water n ow Alliance” conference in Austin recently with about 200 other people. t he conference focused mostly on water sources that become part of distribution systems to create a “one water approach.”

Voelkel requested the city officially become part of the Water n ow Alliance, adding that Kerrville is already doing several of these kinds of projects. h e also wants more communication to the public about any water rate increases, and “incentivizing” new ways to handle storm runoff including more “pervious” surfaces as an alternative to impervious pavements.

Voelkel said he continues to disagree with reusing treated wastewater for potential drinking water.

Baroody said his view is to value all water sources as potential “potable” drinking water. h e said there is a way to put double plumbing in buildings so re-use water can be used in public toilets.

Financial report Part of the financial report from Amy d ozier was in reply to questions about recent property valuations and taxes. d ozier told council and the audience that she requested a “data dump” from the Kerr c entral Appraisal d istrict, but was still waiting to receive that as of this April 23 meeting.

She said the Kc Ad is regulated by the t exas State c omptroller’s o ffice in Austin, not the c ity of Kerrville; and the first step for any concerned citizens is to decide whether to file an appeal and speak to Kc Ad officials. t hose appeals must be filed by May 15. t his followed the comments and questions in the visitors/citizens portion of the meeting from at least four people. o ne generally asked for “an investigation of disparities” in the increases in property values that would mean higher property taxes.

Another gave her personal example of a 68-percent increase in five years and 506 percent in nine years; and said the hike adversely affects today’s debt in tomorrow’s taxes. She asked if yesterday’s debt is today’s taxes, but got no council or staff answers. She asked for a public hearing on the relationship of property taxes to the city’s debt.

Another woman said her property values increased 33.5 percent,

and asked for voter approval on “any big-ticket items.” She asked council to “put the brakes on” projects, to put infrastructure first, emphasizing jobs and affordable housing.

And another speaker, a real estate agent/developer, said Kc Ad seems to increase values in “clumps,” and he knows a lot of people are upset. h e’s tracked 148 parcels in Kerr c ounty whose valuation increased 1,000 percent, and another 1,063 that increased by 50 percent.

Presentation Blackburn presented, on behalf of the city, a proclamation to c harlie Mcilvain of the c onvention & Visitors Bureau, to officially declare “n ational t ravel and t ourism Week” on May 5-11. t he proclamation emphasized the importance of tourism and its economic benefits to Kerrville and the surrounding area, including its monetary impact and the number of local jobs supported by visitors.

Announcements o n behalf of the city staff, Stuart c unyus, Pio , announced again the public availability of the city’s new government and permitting software, saying residents can use the online connection to apply for or track permits for their various construction projects.

Questioned by a councilman, c unyus said for the non-computer-familiar residents, there also is a kiosk in the city’s development department, and people can visit that department during business hours to ask a staff member to help them use the new computer software.

curbing, sidewalk extensions and pedestrian crossings. t hey also were told an extension of the sewer design is included. t he estimated total cost of the new road and associated services is $2,240,000. t he request to the e ic is $1,050,000, or half of the city’s cost. c ity staff said the other 50 percent is Kerrville iSd ’s responsibility.

Paxton also assured council and the audience that a “school zone” would apply to the whole new stretch of roadway. c ouncil also was told city staff expects bids to be received on this project later in this summer, followed by final design in late fall 2019 through early summer 2020. in answer to council questions, Kerrville iSd Superintendent d r.

Mark Foust told council the school district will be staggering the starting and ending times of classes at the three campuses involved (d e S, h PMS and t h S) to help the traffic situation.

Before council voted, Baroody asked Foust to make the hilltop section of the new o lympic d rive a dead end instead of connecting to the present road. Foust told him that wouldn’t be his preference, as he wants the bus routes to split left and right from the new h al Peterson school. t he interlocal cooperation agreement between the city and KiSd was approved 5-0 by coun-

SONGWRITER JIMMY WEBB will perform a one-night-only show on May 11.

Music fans will get a rare opportunity to hear an award-winning songwriter perform his own songs, when Jimmy Webb appears at the c ailloux t heater in Kerrville on Saturday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Webb penned some of the top hits of the 1960s and 70s, including “MacArthur Park” and “Up, Up, and Away.” t his concert focuses on “t he Glen c ampbell y ears,” when Webb teamed up with the singer on such hits as “Wichita l ineman,” “By t he t ime i Get t o Phoenix,” and “Galveston.”

Webb, who arrived in h ollywood right after graduating high school in o klahoma, will sing and tell stories of his partnership with Glen c ampbell. “i remember his first words,” Webb said. “i said, Mr. c ampbell, i am Jimmy Webb. Glen looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘Get a haircut.’ t hose were our first words spoken.” d espite political and philosophical differences, the pair went on to create the iconic sound of the decade.

“We proved you can not agree politically, and not agree philosophically, but that music is the one thing that brings people together,” Webb said. t his will be a Webb’s first concert tour through the t exas h ill c ountry. Following the concert, he will meet with fans and sign autographs. t ickets range from $37–$57 and are now available. t hey can be purchased by visiting www.caillouxtheater.com or by calling 896-9393.

Amie is an eighth-grader, Aubrie is a fourth-grader, and Abbie is a firstgrader. i taught first grade for 14 years, but the administration talked to me about taking over the fourthgrade reading and writing, so this is my first year doing that. it's special, because i get to have Aubrie in my classes.

KPUB selects scholarship recipients from o l h , ingram t he Kerrville Public Utility Board scholarship program was established to encourage youth in our community to work hard and follow their dreams by providing financial assistance for higher education to local students.

KPUB announced that they have awarded two college scholarships to Kerr c ounty high school seniors. t he students selected as recipients of the 2019 KPUB scholarship were Abigail Spino of o ur l ady of the h ills h igh School and c atria Agulto of ingram t om Moore h igh School.

Abigail has been accepted to the University of Mary h ardin-Baylor, and c atria has been accepted to t exas State University.

Scholarships awarded annually are for $1,000 each and can be renewed for up to four years.

Applicants must be graduating high school seniors who are enrolling for the first time in a fulltime course of study at an accredited technical school, trade school, private or public college or university in the state of t exas. t he recipients are chosen by a scholarship selection committee who rate the applications on the following criteria: academic achievement, economic need, par-

ing to be able to get dressed by themselves, or go to the restroom alone or other basic tasks such as managing a checkbook and a grocery list.

As outpatients, those people try to progress to cooking again, or driving, or other skills.

When they go home, they need to be safe in the process. t he o t d epartment also is involved with Vision Matters, and one o t is trained to work with low-vision patients.

“We also have a pelvic floor program, and we added a ‘men’s team’ to talk to men, to reduce their anxiousness about this topic,” l eroux said.

For teens, they sometimes treat sports injuries. t hey also have some pediatric patients who are autistic, and the o t ’s job is to also be a student, to learn to sit still and not have the young patient’s mind wander.

For these patients, the o t also works with parents and teachers to keep them grounded.

Sometimes the therapy is seemingly simple.

Another training for some patients is “sensory integration;” and for Parkinson’s d isease patients, they offer the “Big and l oud” program in addition to a support group and other services.

“Parkinson’s patients develop ‘hypophonia’ and start to talk very softly. So the ‘loud’ part is speech therapy to amplify their voices,” l er oux said.

Sometimes this therapy includes a laptop computer and recordings; and it’s usually scheduled four days a week for about 90 minutes at a time, for four weeks. t he “big” part of this therapy is meant to counteract the Parkinson patients’ tendency to use smaller labored movements, including sometimes developing a shuffling walk. t his therapy is done four days a week for 90 minutes for four weeks, working with an occupational therapist. “t hose patients have homework, too, and after they ‘gradu-

“As you read their applications, Blackburn. “i was immediately im- ments, extracurricular activities you realize what an impressive pressed with the clarity these stu- and volunteer service.” ate,’ their spouses and family also cheer them on, including in a group exercise program twice a month that includes voice and physical exercises,” he said. o t s treat stroke patients and some admitted through the Pr Mc e mergency r oom. t hose who are admitted to the Acute c are floor get initial o t evaluations; and when they are medically stable, stay on the Acute r ehab Unit. l er oux said those patients are led through prescribed workouts five days a week for three hours a day while inpatients. t he workouts can include physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy, especially for stroke patients.

After discharge, some or all of those services may be continued through h ome h ealth and/or on an outpatient basis. “ideally, the o t needs to continue from the Ar U to h ome h ealth to an outpatient basis. We also have a driving simulator; and patients are often referred to us by their primary doctors, after a family member or the doctor notices some small worrisome change,” l er oux said. o ne new piece of o t equipment is their d ynavision d -2. l er oux said it’s a big black screen with red flashing buttons, and can be set at variable heights for patients to use to test their reaction times, low vision, range of coordination and low balance, plus four separate tests that count on a driver’s test.

Another is the Saebo r ejoyce equipment that tests a patient’s strength in upper extremities, sort of an interactive computer game that exercises the hands and arms. t he o t department in the Ac c

offers appointments and services from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays; and on weekends, inpatients in Pr Mc get therapy Monday through Saturday. h ome h ealth patients can be seen Monday through Saturday, when arranged through the hospital.

About 70 percent of their patients are adults and the others are children.

Patient referrals come from h ill c ountry area doctors, each patient’s primary doctor first, or referrals from the primary doctor to a specialist then to o t . d avis said patients start with one month of treatment sessions, usually one or two appointments per week. t hey are reassessed after one month and recommendations depend on each person’s diagnosis and how well they each do their homework. c hildren can get six months of appointments.

For the “slow” patients, they discuss with each doctor how to encourage the patient or find out if there are extenuating circumstances. t here are multiple o t s there and maybe a different approach is needed from a different ot. t he goal is to discharge each patient with the ability of a full range of activities.

Origins t he veterans from World War i returned with such terrible injuries; and the U.S. government set up programs in hospitals and had them doing handwork projects like basket-weaving and pottery, according to d avis. Since then the profession has expanded to pediatrics and gerontology.

She said they had one local patient who got occupational therapy at age nearly 100 after he had a broken hip. And he went back

to driving his c rossfire. t here’s also been incredible growth in prosthetics, especially for upper extremities from wounds in patients who served in the Mid-e ast. Medical doctors are even moving digits around to recreate hands.

At Pr Mc , they work with children from birth up, including guiding parents of pediatric patients. t heir services include speech therapy, o t for motor delays, developmental delays and feeding problems “t hings happen at home, too; and everybody has to do their homework,” l er oux said. “e specially for outpatients and their families, it’s really important for each patient to do their program seven days a week to get the best outcomes.”

Food manager certification course offered

Statistics indicate that foodborne illness continues to be a health issue in the United States. e ach year, one in six Americans will become sick, 128,000 will become hospitalized, and 3,000 will die due to a foodborne illness.

Under the t exas d epartment of State h ealth Services jurisdiction each food establishment is required to have one certified food manager employed by that establishment. in the c ity of Kerrville the ordinance states there must be one certified food manager on duty all hours of operation, who can supervise up to 11 employees. t exas A&M Agril ife e xtension Service, Kerr c ounty, is offering a professional food manager certification training course. t his program will be offered for $125 on May 7-8 at the Kerr c ounty e xtension o ffice. c ost includes training, materials, and a national food manager certification examination. t he food manager’s certification will be valid anywhere in the state of t exas for five years. t his program is designed to not only prepare food service managers to pass the certification examination; it will provide valuable education regarding the safe handling of food. Almost 50 cents of every dollar Americans spend on food is spent on meals prepared away from home. t herefore, careful attention to food safety will help keep customers safe and satisfied.

Foodborne illnesses are estimated to cost thousands of dollars in lost wages, insurance, and medical bills. With these statistics, knowledge of how to prevent foodborne illness is essential. t he benefits of improved food safety include: • increased customer satisfaction; • improved relationships with health officials; • Prevention of bad publicity and law suits due to foodborne illness.

By attending the course, food service managers will learn about: • identifying potentially hazardous foods and common errors in food handling; • Preventing contamination and cross-contamination of food; • t eaching and encouraging personal hygiene for employees; • c omplying with government regulations; • Maintaining clean utensils, equipment and surroundings controlling pests.

Foodborne illnesses can be prevented by following simple food safety practices.

“We wanted the students – not just the committee, but all of them – to realize it’s not just naughty kids. it’s your choice, until it isn’t,” y oung said.

By the third video, she said another point for all of them was, “in life there is no rewind.” t his video included film of two wrecked cars, the fates of the passengers, the helicopter medical flights, the hospital, the body bags and funeral home hearses and the drivers’ arrests. “t he two drivers were arrested, the ‘dead’ in the cars were put in body bags and taken by hearses,” y oung said. y oung said she interviewed students before they showed episode 1 in classes; and sat in different classes while the videos were shown over four days; then did more student interviews after each video was shown.

Student “actor” reactions h olekamp said she first became interested in the Shattered d reams project after previously getting involved when c hris h erring appeared at t ivy to speak. “t he Shattered d reams videos were very impactful, especially when we saw them in a black auditorium with all the loud sound effects,” she said. n ow she also has chosen to become active in promoting organ donation.

Aleman said he wanted everyone to be able to see it, all the bad choices and the pain.

All agreed those were very dangerous games to play; and h olekamp added, “We all wanted it to impact people so they don’t do these games with drugs.” c asals said, “We just wanted to make an impact on everyone.” l oya-Pacheco said their gorylooking make-up and injuries were created by her friends in t ivy’s the-

WITH SOME IN THEIR THEATRICAL MAKE-UP for "Shattered Dreams," the actors mainly hung out behind closed doors the afternoon between the fourth video presentation in classrooms, and the student assembly. They were, alphabetically, Cruz Aleman, Sierra Casals, Grace Guerriero, Emily Holekamp, Devora Loya-Pacheco, Joanna Reagan, and Gerard Real; and not pictured, Lauryn Davis, and Zack Reyna. ater department. She said the party scene was easy, and pretending for that part was no problem.

“But everybody had very different ideas of what the party should be like. o ur goal was to make everybody realize each decision affects each person’s whole future,” l oya-Pacheco said. “it was small things with big impact, and my emotions were real in the videos.

And i don’t want others to feel those emotions.”

She said, and the others agreed, those decisions not only affect them but also their families and the whole community. “e ven if i do something, it’s not just me i’m putting in danger. i get it, the bigger picture. We cannot sit and just pretend.”

Aleman said that’s also why he stepped in with this, day one, that it was interesting and would help some people. r eal said he saw Shattered d reams as a sophomore, presented by his role models then; and wanted to participate this time.

“My parents didn’t want me to do it, or at least not to take a part where i would ‘die’,” r eal said.

Parents’ reactions, assembly Soyla r eyna, mother of t ivy student Zack r eyna, described their family background with Zack the youngest of three brothers, and the one diagnosed with an inoperable brain aneurysm at age 7. “it was the intersection of our lives,” she said, describing how they chose to move forward, knowing “there’s no manual, no returns on babies,” and they would live by Zack’s own words, “As long as there is hope, i will fight to live.”

She said in real life, he has hung out with Joanna r eagan and Gerard r eal since first grade. in the videos, she said the prom night party was a night of choices, and saying “no” to bad choices and walking away is the hardest thing

to do. She listed a lot of “what ifs… ” and “why didn’t…” “t here are no rewinds or second chances. t hese videos are just an example. d on’t blend in; stand out and just say ‘no’.” l iz Gonzalez said her daughter Sierra has been in charge of her destiny since birth; and for her part as a mother in this project, she wrote a letter to Sierra as if she wasn’t still here. “A parent should never have to bury a child.” h er letter included a long list of “she will never …” and future goals that now wouldn’t happen. “n ow instead of a graduation party, we are planning a funeral.”

‘Actors’ presentations Bella King and Gerard r eal appeared at the all-school assembly in black and white prisoner jumpsuits.

King told the audience this impacted her more than she thought it would, saying she cried real tears and was screaming things she thought she would really say in that wrecked car. “i ended up praying, ‘Why is this happening to me?’”

She said in real life she’s made promises to everybody, friends, family, that they could trust her.

And this showed her arrested, put in a police car and taken to jail for fingerprinting and a mug shot, and led through the jail. d evora l oya-Pacheco had the most to reveal through her part. She joined Shattered d reams to get closure, she said.

She told the audience, “Five years, five days and 14 hours ago, an accident took my mother and my nine-year-old brother. h e died in my lap. All i kept after that was my dad and sister and God.” She said she attempted suicide three years later, but God wasn’t ready to take her. “in Shattered d reams, i kept seeing my family’s accident instead. t his affected me very badly. And when i saw Joanna (in the car film-

ing the video) my heart shattered. i learned we are never truly done grieving, but we have to find our own voice, and go on,” she said. l oya-Pacheco said she found the ability for closure and a realization that our lives can be taken away in a second.

A problem and a solution h olekamp’s t ivy t eens 4 l ife organization is actively promoting organ donation.

Speakers included c larissa t hompson from t exas o rgan Sharing Alliance, who introduced d ot de la r osa. t hompson said, “We are the face behind the heart on your driver’s license, for organ, eye and tissue donations. in people’s darkest moments of loss, we offer hope that something of their loved ones can live on.”

She listed statistics of 10,000 people in t exas waiting for donated organs; and 113,000 nationally. She said of those in t exas, 2,000 of them are age 18 and under; and the main organs needed for all those on the list are kidneys and hearts. d e la r osa is an organ donation recipient, the result of someone else’s tragedy. She was diagnosed with ideopathic Fibrosys and was stage 3, with three months to live, when she was listed on the transplant list. Five days later she received a double lung transplant from a young person. “i’m now able to take care of my mom since she got cancer. i live my best life to honor my donor,” de la r osa said. in response, h olekamp hosted a 5K walk on Sunday stressing organ donation; and at t ivy on Monday they held an opportunity in the cafeteria for students to sign up to be organ donors. t hose 18 or over can make solo decisions; those younger need parents’ permission.

With six days counted, Alford said a total of 1,927 voters have cast ballots for Kerrville c ity c ouncil Place 1 and Place 2 candidates that include George Baroody, who currently is seated in Place 2, but running for Place 1 and his opponent local businessman Gary c ochrane. l ocal businesswoman Kim c larkson is facing Mario Garcia, also a local businessman, for Place 2. t he largest voting day was the first day of early voting, where 478 voters made it to the polls at the c ailloux t heater. in 2017, a total of 2,144 voters participated in the election, only 217 more than the current tally for early voting through Monday, including mail-in ballots. t he polls are open for early voters through Wednesday, and turnout is averaging about 300 per day. in last year’s election, a total of 3,103 votes were cast by either absentee or early voting. t he final day of voting is this Saturday, May 4 at the c ailloux t heater.

we would never have to do that.

But it became necessary,” he said.

As the community garden is constantly under renovation and expansion, donations to the garden are also always accepted.

“All donations will be put back into garden projects for general expenses, including seeds, hand tools and water costs,” said n oah. “We just need interested people.” t he mission statement for the garden project says, “to develop a community garden that produces healthy food, community cooperation, and knowledge and skills of gardening to the Glory of God.” t he vision is improving health; fostering community collaboration; and sharing the love of God. History Garden organizers said their primary targets are single-parent households with children, as well as seniors. in 2013, when the garden first opened, single parent households with children made up 55.4 percent of the population in the target area.

By 2018, that number was expected to increase to almost 60 percent of the households with children under age 18.

Married couples in the target area are decreasing as a percentage while single-parent households are increasing. o f all school-age children in the area in 2013, 42.5 percent were ages 5-9 years, and 35 percent were ages 10-14. “it is this group of parents and children who will benefit most from the community garden,” n oah said. “t he garden provides fresh, healthy vegetables, some economic relief for the families, and beneficial exercise while building neighbor-to-neighbor relationships. it also presents educational opportunities about nutrition, agriculture and horticulture.” t he vision for the garden began at Barnett c hapel UMc in the neighborhood, in the members’ desires to honor God and live out their faith

in community. r esident c lifton Fifer suggested a “community garden” be developed on a corner property at West d avis and Webster streets, that was gifted to the church years before. its address is 200 W. d avis and is comprised of two lots, with 17,800 square feet of usable space. t he vision was shared in early 2013 with r ev. Bob Allen, then senior pastor at Kerrville First UMc ; Bill Blackburn, then director of Partners in Ministry; and former Kerrville Mayor Jack Pratt.

A partnership was formed with the c ity of Kerrville, Barnett c hapel UMc , Mt. o live Baptist c hurch, St. Paul’s UMc ; h ill c ountry Master Gardeners, and Kerrville First UMc . o n d ec. 21, 2013, a groundbreaking ceremony was held, and the garden began to come to life.

Funding was pledged in February 2014; a water meter and lines installed that spring; then the fence that winter. in 2015, the Garden c enter was constructed from donated plans; and volunteers built the raised beds and filled them with soil.

Beginning in early 2016, volunteers laid mulch between the plots; and in February they opened the gates to the community.

What if you’re a beginning or novice gardener? “We will teach you,” n oah said. it now has a high perimeter fence to keep out the local deer, a series of raised beds constructed from concrete blocks, composting bins, water connections, and a garden storage shed.

“We cast the vision about five years ago. o ur first growing season, we had gardeners with plants in 10-12 beds, and we had tomatoes coming out our ears. We also had cabbage, onions, watermelon, squash and cucumbers, and some very pretty flowers,” n oah said. t hey gave away some of the tomatoes at a n ational n ight o ut that year. “n ow we need more gardeners and some smaller beds that children can put plants in,” he said. n oah said one new opportunity was helping students and teachers

at Kerrville iSd ’s e arly c hildhood c enter to create gardens in metal horse trough containers starting in January and through the spring.

“We can give them some new skills they can carry into the rest of their lives,” n oah said. “h opefully they will graduate from e c c to raised beds at the Glory Garden.”

Future garden plans n oah and other active volunteers are still looking for added partners, but they also have a master plan for the future.

Phase i was the beds inside the fence, and the garden center shed.

Phase ii began with the perimeter fencing, and included more planting beds.

A next thing on the list was a walking path around the outside of the fence with added landscaping and benches. t he Master Gardeners planned to add a gazebo with benches and a table for small classes. n oah said they planned a 2,500gallon water cachement system for rainwater, and to reduce dependence on city water. n oah and the others also were offering periodic “l earn and Grow” class at the d oyle c enter.

“We want to make this garden a space to come and get to know the neighbors, and learn about gardening. in the h ill c ountry we have two growing seasons, spring and winter. t his is to build community,” n oah said.

A list of gardening partners, donors and volunteers can be found at facebook.com/glorycommunitygarden.

Center Point Softball Morrish and led the l ady Pirates to a 10-1 victory over Kenedy in Class 2a r egion iV bi-district playoff action t hursday night at Seguin’s Huber r anch.

“Defense was a big part of this victory. We probably played the best defense we have played all year,” Morrish said.

Behind starting pitcher Bobbi

Sa n a n t o n io — a ndrew Stieler and Brooks McCoy continued the track and field season for t ivy High School by qualifying from regional to state.

Stieler captured the gold medal at the r egion iV-5a meet held Friday and Saturday at Heroes Stadium in

Tivy Track San a ntonio, and McCoy was second in the triple jump. t he top two finishers from each of the state’s four regions advance to the next level, which will be the Uil state track and field meet Friday, May 10 at the University of t exas’ Mike a .

Myers Stadium.

Stieler vaulted 14-feet, 9-inches to easily take his specialty over e dcouch-e lsa’s Carlos Guerrero, who went 14-6.

Stieler will be on the runway at state starting at 1 p.m. Friday as one of the best eight vaulters in t exas, because in addition to the top two finishers at each region the Uil also has a “wild card” taken from the ninth best effort regardless of region.

McCoy is headed to a ustin by the slimmest of margins with his

regional effort of 44-5.3/4. His performance just edged third place and District 26-5a rival Dorien Shannon of Seguin, who went 445.1/2. San a ntonio Veterans Memorial, also from t ivy’s district, won regional at 44-11. t ivy did not qualify for state in the 4x400-meter relay, but did manage regional points with a fifthplace finish and an improvement of two seconds from its previous See t r a CK, Page 3B

We needed to make a statement going into the playoffs.” t he statement-making began in the first inning with a leadoff double by Cole Miears, followed by singles from Cooper Duennenberg and Delgado to score Miears, and five more runs came t ivy’s way before any outs were notched by Harlandale.

Braden Jaeger singled in Duennenberg, t ravis White hit a triple to score pinch runner Walker Grimes and Jaeger, and Colten Drake followed up White’s triple with one of his own that scored White.

Coleson a bel’s sacrifice fly to White center field brought in Drake.

Miears was t ivy’s hit leader with three, White and a bel topped the r Bi chart with three each, and Miears, Duennenberg, Drake and Caleb Portillo all scored twice.

Miears worked an 0-2 count into a walk to start t ivy’s four-run second, scoring on a sacrifice by Jaeger to give the a ntlers a 7-0 lead.

White doubled in Duennenberg, who had reached on an error for an 8-0 advantage, Drake managed a single to place baserunners at first and third, and a bel doubled in Portillo and Drake to raise the score to 10-0. Portillo was on in the courtesy runner spot for White.

plished what we’ve accomplished because we were predicted to be third in the district. t his will be our sixth title in 10 years, and this team has continued to improve throughout the year.”

Center Point grabbed a 2-0 firstinning lead when Kolten Kitchens tripled in Hayden Johnson, and Kitchens came home following a single by r iley l eifeste. Johnson led off the game when he was hit by a pitch. l eifeste earned three of Center Point’s 12 hits, while Kitchens’ three-bagger topped the Pirates’ extra-base raps.

Johnson batted across Chris Geisen in the second inning to put Center Point up 3-0, starting Geisen on a two-runs scored performance.

Fernando Fuentes led off the fourth with a double, moved around after Geisen’s single, and both Pirates scored when a ustin Hander batted them in, increasing Center

Point’s lead to 5-0.

Daily would throw in a double from the plate in the fifth before coming home on a Joseph Carmouche single. t hat finished off the scoring at 6-0 and only magnified Daily’s mastery of Medina this season. t he Bobcats did not muster their first baserunner until the fourth off a walk by Daily, who retired the first 10 batters he faced. Daily’s no-hit bid did go away with one out in the seventh when he gave up a single, but another strikeout and fly ball ended the game.

Until the single in the seventh, Daily had pitched 13-2/3 innings of no-hit ball against the Bobcats this season, according to Walters.

“He’s got 32 strikeouts against them this year, out of 42 outs,” Walters said. a s the Pirates embark on another postseason run, Walters remarked about this year’s team by stating they are legacy driven. “t his group pays well and didn’t want to be the team that stopped the playoff streak. t hey talked about continuing the legacy,” Walters

l ongoria and Black also batted in a pair of runs each, and l eitha and Dinsmore both added r Bis. r emaining runs were the result of nine Kenedy errors. o nce on base, l eitha stole three bases and Marissa o lvera and Makenzie Daily thefted one each. l eitha completed a solid all-around performance by crossing home plate three times to lead the run parade. l ozano scored twice, and single runs were added

by Mills, Daily, Dinsmore, o lvera and Black. e arlier in the week, Center Point wrapped up its District 29-2a schedule with a 6-4 record after a dominating 15-0 shutout of Brackett on Monday. t he l ady Pirates only needed five hits because Brackett’s defense committed 15 errors. Mills had a home run and l eitha hit a triple. Mills accounted for four r Bis. l eitha, l ozano and Mills all scored three times, and Daily, Mills, o lvera and Briza a rreola all stole bases. Mills led with three thefts.

Daily started and pitched two innings with one strikeout, while l eitha relieved for 2-2/3 innings, striking out three and allowing the one hit that Brackett managed. t he l ady Pirates, 16-10 overall, will play r ivera-Kaufer in area-round action t hursday at 7 p.m. and again on Saturday starting at 5 p.m. in Jourdanton.

Pirates end track season in Kingsville Kin GSVil l e — Center Point had three athletes in the points, but did not advance anyone past the Class 2a r egion iV track and field meet held Friday and Saturday on the campus of t exas a &M-Kingsville.

Center Point Track l exi Mills was closest to getting out based on her third-place shot put throw of 35-feet, 10inches. t he second place throw was 36-9 by Sabinal’s Kamryn Chapman. t he hoped for “wild card” did not materialize for Mills either when the state’s ninth best third-place shot put went 36-0 from r egion i.

Center Point’s Fernando Fuentes did make the finals of the discus and finished fifth with his best fling going 137-9.

Kolten Kitchens pole vaulted 11-6 and finished sixth in that event.

Relay for Life 2019 April 26

Hill Country Youth Event Center

4-YEAR-OLD CARTER MYERS has some fun with his “Survivor Star” Friday night at the Relay for Life Kerr County event held at the Hill Country Youth Event Center. Young Carter is celebrating two years as a cancer survivor.

History of Relay for Life One person can make a difference. In May 1985, Dr. Gordon “Gordy” Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, raising money to help the American Cancer Society with the nation’s biggest health concern: cancer.

Gordy spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at the University of Puget Sound. Friends, family, and patients watched and supported him as he walked and ran more than 83.6 miles and raised $27,000 through pledges to help save lives from cancer. As he circled the track, he thought of how he could get others to take part. He envisioned having teams participate in a 24-hour fundraising event. The next year, 19 teams were part of the first Relay For Life event at the historical Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000.

WILLA MEURER and Betty Trejo, of the James Avery team, have fun with their costumes.

After previously battling stomach cancer, Gordy passed away from heart failure on August 3, 2014 at the age of 71. But his legacy lives on. He shaped an idea that started as one man walking and running a track and helped turn it into a global fundraising phenomenon.

A child’s fight Carter Myers of Kerrville is only 4 years old and he’s already been through more medical issues and hospitalizations than most other children.

But with the help of his extended family and their friends, he and his single mom Meagan Murray consider the medical professionals their friends and Carter would blow kisses to the nurses.

Carter is now 4 years old and has been in remission from A. M. Leukemia (a cancer of the blood) for two years, after being diagnosed Nov. 7, 2016.

“Carter has ‘Down’s Syndrome’ and was a ‘late walker.’ And before his second birthday, he was not walking. And then he also was not eating. So I took him to his doctor,” Murray said. “But we were all just learning about how to deal with his Down’s Syndrome; and Carter wasn’t very verbal to tell us anything. So we didn’t get any diagnosis at first.”

She said Carter didn’t improve and she took him to a second appointment. But they still didn’t get a definite diagnosis of a specific problem.

Carter’s symptoms persisted and he became dehydrated; and Murray next took him to the Peterson Regional Medical Center to the Emergency Room one day.

She said the ER doctor on duty for that visit was the first one who suggested they might be dealing with leukemia.

His recommendations and referrals led to Carter having three bone marrow biopsies and at least one MRI in other facilities, she said, before the medical experts finally said Carter did have A.M.L.

CARTER MEYERS and his mother Meagan were happy to celebrate the 4-year-old’s two years of being cancer-free at last week’s Relay for Life event.

“Carter had chemotherapy in Children’s Methodist Hospital for five and a half months in 2016-17, ending in April 2017. He had the first two sessions for seven days each, and then they let us wait a little for the next set. And he got to come home in between. But we had our problems during that, too. His ‘port’ kept popping out and they had to keep replacing it, which was not easy on him,” Murray said.

“Then they had him come in for five days at a time for chemo. Normally those patients stay in the hospital for the whole time, but he got lesser doses because of his Down’s Syndrome,” she said. “But even then he was in isolation at the hospital and even at home – no playing with his friends or going outside.

“But he was a trooper, and even was known for blowing kisses to the nurses, even when they kept doing all those tests on him.

“He doesn’t know how seriously ill he was,” Murray said.

For help, she said she has counted all along on Carter’s grandmother and grandfather Brenda and Bud Heimann; and some very good friends with children who are among Carter’s playmates and were at the Relay for Life on Friday night.

Murray said she has all the same arrangements to make, as any working single mom.

Carter goes to the Kerrville Independent School District’s Early Childhood Center each schoolday morning for the “Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities.”

Dana Dunagan is his teacher there; and was at Relay for Life where she greeted Carter and his family as they circled the Relay track.

When his class mornings are dismissed, his grandmother Brenda Heimann, a retired teacher herself, picks up Carter and cares for him until Murray gets off work.

“Carter likes some of the same things other preschoolers’ do, especially ‘Splash Day’ at school. And he likes the Dr. Seuss reading activities; and he really likes all kinds of music and dancing. Murray said.

Getting better

By Jessica Fierro Initial discovery “I routinely do breast self-exams since my maternal grandmother and her sister both had breast cancer. It was during one of those self-exams that I felt a small lump on my right breast. This was at the beginning of June 2018.

“So, I went to my ObGyn (Keri Truelock). She got me in immediately and felt around and agreed that the lump was indeed there and that I should have a mammogram ASAP. She called the Ambulatory Care Center and got one scheduled. I went to the the ACC to have a mammogram on June 19th. But they could not see anything on the mammogram, so they did an ultrasound the very same day. You could see something on the ultrasound, but they weren’t sure what it was, so they did a needle biopsy and sent the results off. I then went on vacation for a week and when I got back, I had an appointment on July 5th with Dr. Brian Given to discuss the results of my biopsy. That is when he gave me the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma and I was what they call a “triple positive”. That means my cancer was positive for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and something called HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), a gene that can play a role in the development of breast cancer. This gene makes HER2 proteins that are receptors on breast cells, meaning my cancer is basically hormone fed.

Treatment plans “From there, Dr. Given did a lumpectomy since my tumor was very small. It was considered stage I. I had that done on July 11th. After my lumpectomy, my margins still were not clear, so Dr. Given went in again on July 25th and took a little more out.

“I then met with Dr. Rebecca Barrington at Texas Oncology and she broke down what my treatment would consist of. I would get six rounds of chemo treatment and 30 rounds of radiation.

“I would do a year of a IV drug called Herceptin to combat the HER2 gene.

“Then after the radiation I would be doing 5 years of hormone therapy.

“I had my first round of chemo on 8/24/18 and my last on 12/12/18. I started radiation on 1/2/19 and finished on 2/8/19.

Personal reactions

“As soon as I heard I would have to undergo chemo, that is when I lost it. And I knew there was going to be no hiding what I was going through. And I would be going through it during the school year and basketball season. So, I get this life-changing news, and my first thought was of death and dying, and how I am too young to die.

“Then I realize I have no control over this situation or what happens next. How am I going to get through this? Frustration sets in because I can’t control cancer or what it will do to my body.

Can’t control the chemo or radiation. I am going to get punched in the face and I can’t shield myself. I have to let it happen and just deal with the side effects.

“My hair is going to fall out! (I am not going to feel like a woman anymore.)

“What if I go through all of this and the cancer comes back?

There are no guarantees. I thought of my favorite Bible verse (Proverbs 31:5) “She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future”. I knew I had to give it up to God and just be strong and hold my head up.

“How will this affect my family? My job? My marriage?

Spreading her news “I immediately told Christy Dill who is our head girls basketball coach and my principal and Athletic Director. They all assured me that we would all get through this as a family. Going forward, I had to normally take 4 days off after chemo treatments.

I would have my treatments on a Thursday morning and then take Friday off., then have Saturday and Sunday, then take Monday and sometimes Tuesday off.

“I tried to plan my chemo treatments around our basketball schedule. I never had to miss a game or a tournament. The most I missed was practice.

“Since I am only an inclusion teacher, I don’t teach any classes, I just go into a math class and 2 science classes to co-teach with the actual classroom teacher. I would make sure to be in the class room at least 3 days before a chemo treatment.

Her new daily ‘walk’ “So, I decided that is what I would do. Left foot, right foot, breathe, repeat.

“But there are times that I felt sorry for myself, especially on the days after chemo, when my body would ache, and I felt like throwing up, and couldn’t get out of bed.

“There is a poem by D.H. Lawrence called “Self-Pity”. In it, he says, “I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will See FIERRO, Page 12C

JESSICA FIERRO, Tivy girls basketball coach, says she feels student Zach Reyna has taught her how to survive her battle with cancer.

Survivors Lap

Page 11C

THE “SURVIVORS’ WALK” always kicks off the festivities. As the cancer survivors in attendance take the first lap, supporters, friends and family circle the track and cheer them on. Watching these survivors defiantly walk for a cure truly sets the mood for the fundraising event sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

THIS YEAR organizers of the Relay for Life Kerr County event honored caregivers of cancer patients and survivors with a lap of their own. While caregivers have always been recognized for their selfless efforts on behalf of their loved ones, this is the first year they were cheered along in a lap of their own.

Fierro CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3C

drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.” What that means, is that out of all the species on earth, humans are the only ones that show self-pity.

“On days like this, I would tell myself to stop feeling sorry for myself. There are many out there that have it worse than you do. I was not raised to quit or feel sorry for myself. I was raised to play the hand you are dealt.

“So, I kept repeating “left foot, right foot, breathe, repeat”. So how did I stay motivated to keep pushing through every day?

“My faith in God: I believe that He will never give me more than I can handle. I believe that everything happens for a reason. At the time I had no idea what that reason was, but now I believe it was to bring other people into my life that I would have not otherwise known. And to be an example of how to handle adversity, especially for these young kids at Tivy who have gone through tough times and are going through them. I thank Him for all the blessings that I do have.

My family keeps me motived, especially the 2 young nieces that are watching my every move to see how I handle this. I want to be good examples of a strong female to them.

My husband: He is my best friend and I want to grow old with him.

My Tivy family: I couldn’t be more grateful to all of them for all the help and support they gave me throughout the year.

Tivy student body, was great to me all year long. I was nervous about how they would react, but they never judged me. I got so kind words and hugs from you then. I am blessed to be surrounded by such a great student body. I remember walking into the school the first morning after I had no hair. And at this point, the students had no idea about my cancer.

The day before I had hair and the next I didn’t.

Walking into that school was one of the toughest things I had to do. I just tried to keep my head up, stick my chest out and handle it. I walked into my first period freshman Algebra I class, and you could have heard a pin drop. Silence…….. until one kid (Hunter Kramer) broke the ice by saying, “I think you look beautiful, Coach.” I finally exhaled. After that I just explained to them what had transpired, but that moment I will never forget.

I work with the special need kids at school, so they keep me motivated. They are facing and will face more obstacles than I ever will, so I will never complain.

Lady Antler basketball team kept me motivated. We have a saying in our program that character is what you do when no one is watching. But the tough thing is that they were all watching me every day.

Watching me to see how I handle this situation and I refused to let them see me be weak. I can’t look them in the eye and tell them to: fight, work hard, be a strong woman, keep a positive attitude, never quit, get knocked down get up and keep fighting. I can’t preach to them every day, if I am not living that way myself. I must be an example of how to handle life’s ups and downs.

Zach Reyna is one of our students who is fighting through his own adversities. He has shown me such love and compassion in the face of fighting his own battles. He is a fighter and a survivor. He thinks of others before himself and you never see him without a smile. I am sure that his treatments or tough, but you would never know it. He always has a smile on his face and love in his heart. I believe with my whole heart that God put him in my way to teach me how to overcome adversity.

Future prognosis Right now, it has been about 5 months since my last chemo treatment. I am currently still getting an IV of Herceptin until September and I will be taking medication for the hormone therapy for 5 years.

Lessons learned I have learned exactly how small I am, meaning we really have no control over what happens to us. You only have control of your attitude to those things.

Maya Angelou once said, “You may not control all of the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”

I have learned that people really love and respect me and that was tough for me. I don’t want to be labeled a hero or an inspiration, but the reality is is that is how some people see me and that is what they need to see, so I am okay with that now. But to me, I am just doing what any other person would do in my situation. “left foot, right foot, breath, repeat.” “Head up, chest out, handle it”.

I have learned that cancer changes everything and nothing at all. Meaning, my whole life was blown up and I had to survive, advance and overcome, but I am still the same person I always was. I have learned that I will no longer worry about the things I can’t control and just live my best life.

I am honored that people in this community think that I am a “superhero”. I am grateful that they think of me in that positive manner. Honestly, though, I don’t want that attention. All I ever wanted was to just go through my treatment and be done without a single word being said about it, but that wasn’t possible.

I am uncomfortable with all the praise and attention I have gotten, it’s just who I have always been. But if people see me and what I went through and that helps them tackle their life’s peaks and valleys, then I am glad that they have some motivation to use.
