When thousands of runners stream through Boston’s streets Monday, the Boerne Fire Department will have a representative among them. Toby Vicnair moved to Boerne several years ago, starting out as a volunteer with the department and later assuming a fulltime position. But while Vicnair’s professional responsibilities have been heavily invested with the local firefighting service, much of his off-time hours are spent on the road. Vicnair’s running abilities have even Boerne Fire Chief Doug Meckel, amazed. “He runs to the Alamo and then home,” Meckel said incredulously. “Back when it was so cold, one day his goal was to run 50 miles. It was freezing and the last part of his leg was to come here by the station. You could tell he was tired, but not like me - he was upright! I’d have been on all fours crawling.” Vicnair said his grandpa and dad also ran. Vicnair himself participated in a race with his mother when he

was about two years old, but for most of his youth he concentrated on baseball. “I was good but I wasn’t great, so one day I decided to run,” Vicnair said. “That first day I went out and ran eight miles.” And that was essentially where it began, leading to this Boerne fireman’s first time participation in the Boston Marathon. As he runs the famous race on April 21, Vicnair says he will be mentally juggling “all of those numbers” that help him - as a long-distance runner - to stay on track. Vicnair is also certain that he will spend time thinking of the family members who ran before him, his wife and two children. He also knows that his fellow firefighters will be in his thoughts, running down the miles with him in spirit. Vicnair is awed by the support he receives from the rest of the department. On that winter morning not so long ago to which Meckel referred, Vicnair had decided to run a circuit from Boerne to Bergheim, to Kendalia, to Sisterdale and back to Boerne. “One of the fellows got up at 5:30 in the morning to meet me in Ber-

Thanks to the efforts of Boerne business owner Paula Hayward, the historic Diamond Hospital building at 421 South Main St. is slated for a much-needed facelift, and work is expected to begin any day now. Hayward purchased the building in 2005, unoccupied at the time and a hodgepodge of small buildings connected over the years by add-ons and porches. “It was four separate buildings all built at different times,” she said. Of the four buildings, the horizontal log cabin and accompanying hand-hewn stone cottage with a dog run between them are thought to be the oldest, the cabin dating possibly from around 1858. Some consider it one of the very early “10 homes,” or first homes, built in Boerne. Next, around 1870, a picket house was built on the Main Street side of the lot, then an addition tacked onto its east side sometime before 1910, complete with tin and wood sheathing to give it a Victorian look. That structure housed Ida Vogt Bower’s dry goods business and served as the Bower family home until 1912.

Also during this time, a wagonservice campground, a feedlot and stables surrounded the building. After the dry goods store moved in 1912 to the new Joe Vogt building at the corner of Theissen and Main streets, the 3,600-squarefoot structure transitioned to a nursing home and then a doctor’s office. From 1949 to around 1957, Dr. Jack Diamond ran it as a 12-bed, state-licensed regional hospital. Although it next served as a boarding house and private residence for more than 50 years, locals still call it the Diamond Hospital. Hayward had purchased the Joe Vogt building in 2000 after leasing it from former mayor and baker Patrick Heath. She started her Bear Moon Bakery there, then bought the adjacent hospital property with the idea of joining the two buildings to enlarge her shop space. “But once I got into the building I realized that wouldn’t work,” she said. Instead, Hayward has plans underway to renovate the old hospital inside and out, starting with the picket house portion. “It has a lot of things going on in it, so it’s taken a long time to decide how to deal with it. It’s really an old building,” she said. “I knew there was cedar in the

OBITUARIES Kathie Viola Brannan Oct. 13, 1950 – April 3, 2014 Katherine Viola (Daffin) Brannan, aged 63, passed away in her home on April 3, 2014, with her family by her side. Katherine was born on Oct. 13, 1950 in San Antonio to the late Jack and Ruth Daffin. Katherine spent her childhood in San Antonio. She graduated from Harlandale High School in San Antonio in 1968. Following graduation she served as Brannan Deputy County Clerk in Bexar County. In 1972, she met and married her husband, Otto. They began their life together in San Antonio and soon after, she moved with her husband to College Station, where he attended Texas A&M University. Texas remained their home, having lived in San Antonio, College Station, Houston and Midland before finally settling in 1986 in Boerne, where Katherine spent the rest of her life. She dedicated her life to family, raising two wonderful children and supporting her husband. She had a passion for working with children and spent time working and volunteering at various day cares, Mother’s Day Out programs, and elementary schools. This passion made her an outstanding and fun grandmother. In her short 12 years as a grandmother, Katherine’s unwavering love, patience and creativity led her to play a significant role in the lives of her three grandchildren. She enjoyed watching them learn and grow, and recently traveled with them to their favorite vacation spot, South Padre Island, to see them swim and play in the surf. In her later years, she developed an affinity for video gaming and was often found enjoying games with her children and grandchildren. A beloved mother, grandmother and wife, Katherine is survived by her husband of 42 years, Otto George Brannan, Jr.; daughter Heather Brannan; son Erik Brannan and wife Angela Brannan; and three grandchildren, Emily, Audrey and Kylie Brannan, all of Boerne. She is also survived by her brother Michael Daffin and his wife Patricia Daffin of Hutto; and her aunt Helen Woltersdorf of San Antonio; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. A memorial service will be conducted following her cremation. Time and location will be relayed to family members when scheduled.

He worked with Kendall County Partnership for Parks and the Kendall County Parks Department on his project. “I am glad I was able to do my eagle project at Kreutzberg Canyon Natural Area, it’s a beautiful park, and KCPP and the Parks Department were really easy to work with,� Wilson said. “Daniel and his team did excellent work. The bridge and bench add attractive and functional new features at KCNA, and his construction was meticulous. It’s obvious he is a hard worker,� KCPP President Kristie Denbow said. “Visitors will love walking along his new path. The path meanders under ashe junipers and live oaks before descending to one of KCNA’s canyons.� A member of Boy Scout Troop 85 sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Boerne, he received the Arrow of Light award while a Cub. His favorite activity with the scouting program is High Adventure at Lake Amistad and Camp Bullis. Daniel’s parents, Donna and Delmond Wilson, have maintained a scouting tradition in their family. Daniel, the youngest of six children, has three brothers who are also Eagle Scouts. An award-winning student and athlete, Wilson received a 10-day trip to Germany for achieving the highest grade in German language class at his school.

The Boerne Star welcomes letters on any public issue. Letters may be mailed, faxed, emailed or hand-delivered but must contain the writer’s name, address and phone number. Addresses and telephone numbers are for verification purposes only and will not be published. Names and city of residence will be published. Letters should be short and concise, long enough only to make your point. We reserve the right to edit all letters for style and content and refuse letters that would be objectionable to readers. We also will not publish anonymous letters. Priority will be given to letters 300 words or less that concern local topics and written by people who’ve not published a letter in the last 30 days.

Terrorism: A post 9/11 view, legal approach Terrorism is as old as history himself. Even in war there are acts of terrorism, which leads us to define what it is – nothing more than a tactic employed by those who use fear and intimidation to achieve political goals. Today we face global war based upon terror promulgated by radical Islam against almost every nation on earth. Our approach to the war by al-Qa’eda and their supporters is to move from treating them as an enemy to prosecuting in the U.S. civilian court system for workplace violations. Giving civil liberties and Constitutional rights to our enemies is not a viable solution. The number of acts of terror occurring in the US since 2004 has more than tripled and there have been six major attacks in the state of Texas. If increased terrorism on our soil is a sign we are not winning we can only expect things to get worse. Terrorists, unlike governments and their armies, believe only the means justifies the end and they will go to any length to include nuclear. A key difference between terrorism and war by an opposing army is the taking of territory for use by the victorious. Little would be accomplished if the

country were laid to radioactive waste and its resources unusable or unobtainable. The spoils of war are used to justify and repay the war effort. The US is ground zero and target No. 1 for the terrorists. Their goal is the killing of “infidels” and they see the U.S. as Satan, therefore all should die as a result. al-Qa’eda does not want to occupy our lands and farm our fields – that is not their goal. A nuke on Wall Street, Washington D.C. and other cities making them uninhabitable would be serving Allah in their view. They are Islamo-fascists who believe their religion mandates them to kill all who do not agree with their views – that is their end game. It is the role of the U.S. not only to combat terrorists but to insure our law and international law is structured so we can bring the war to them and the countries that harbor and support their actions. We must change our paradigm from the historical view of war to understand

and put in place policies that can effect a successful war on terror. We currently have a government that will not use the words terrorist or radical Islam and denies it is a problem. The first Ft Hood massacre is still considered “workplace violence.” That makes as much sense as saying Hitler only had a minor diplomacy issue. This leaves many questions of where we are, where we need to be and how to get there. Dr Jeffrey Addicott, professor of law and director of the Center for Terrorism Law, will discuss those questions at the next meeting of the Kendall County Texas Tea Party Patriots at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 23, at the Boerne Public Library. Addicott holds a Doctor of Juridical Law and a Masters of Law from the University of Virginia School of Law, a Masters of Law from the Judge Advocate General’s School and a J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law. He spent 20 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a lieutenant colonel and was the senior legal advisor to the U.S. Army Special Forces. Major Don Pryor is president of the KCTTPP and is retired from the U.S. Army.

Letters to the Editor

Voter fraud is real Every legal citizen has the right to vote regardless of their political party. I wouldn’t expect the people to let me vote if I visited a foreign country. This is just common sense. Why would anybody want someone voting in their elections unless they are trying to steal votes? In the case of the American politician we have a lot of broken promises and lies to go around from both of our major parties. George Washington warned us about having a twoparty system and he was right again. This privilege was given to us by men who fought, gave everything they had and in some cases died for us to have the opportunity to vote. Our Founding Fathers, gave us an inspired document, The Constitution and we need to be fighting just as hard to keep the “original.” We could go back to the original way of voting in this country, landowners only. Voting should be taken very serious and you should know your candidates and not just vote party lines. This is a brainwashed concept drilled into our heads. We have gotten to the point where you either voted Republican or Democrat, or the lesser of two evils, and all we are getting from both parties are broken promise, lies, deeper in debt. This is why we have other parties popping up to give us another choice. Voter ID is a big issue to the Democrats in Texas. You have to show ID in airports, banks, grocery stores (writing checks), so why not when you vote. Let’s look at a system of no voter ID: You go to a precinct, sign on the dotted line and vote; You go to the next precinct and sign on the dotted line with another name, and so on. Now, this is ridiculous, just remember each party can do this and they would. Voter fraud – does it exist? They are having that question answered in North Carolina and Pennsylvania right now. Anybody who thinks it doesn’t is either telling themselves lies or totally out of touch with the rest of the country. Let me

offer you two example: I know this first hand, not hearsay. We came here from a county that was a one-party county and if you were not registered to run for office with this party you never got elected to city, county or school board. We have a woman (her father did this before her) that every election she called a 300-bloc vote of mail-in ballots in our hometown she told them it was time to call for their mail-in ballot, she told them she would come by, help them mark the ballots and mail them. We had a very hotly contested mayor’s race going on, a city councilman running had her vote so we had her followed and one day after she had made about 75 stops, we called the police. She was caught with 75 ballots in her possession and went to jail. Needless to say, she spent only one night. All the ballots were marked for this councilman – he wasn’t elected. You could win any election in the county with these extra 300 votes. You are probably asking how we found out about her. Another disgruntled city councilman of the same party, told us how this was done and that it had been going on for decades. I can only imagine what some other counties must be doing to get people elected. Second, have you ever read the book, “The Duke of Duval.” You really need to. If this book was not so tragic in crooked politics it would be hilarious. George Parr of Duval County ran the politics of Duval and Jim Wells counties, even from Federal Prison after being convicted of tax evasion in 1932, and he even helped LBJ win his 1948 Senate Seat with 200 dead people voting. This voter fraud case went all the way to the Supreme Court. LBJ won, of course. We elect the congressmen and women to represent us, but all they do is bicker, fight, and do very little for the welfare of the country. They lie, cover-up, make promises, they cheat on their taxes, they cheat on their spouses and we just keep electing them. God save our “Republic.” – Jeri Thormaehlen

Each individual using the canning facilities will furnish his own cans and produce. The equipment, heat, water and other essential items will be furnished free to patrons of the canning instruction center.

Viewpoints Is the vote enough? Cindy Offutt

KENDALL COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY

“Taxpayers should get 2 votes.” Seen on a hand-painted sign along Texas Highway 71 Returning home from a recent excursion to Houston, I happened to glance at this handmade sign along the highway. It got me to thinking (yet again) about the role of money in our democracy. My hunch is that whoever painted that sign leans right, probably far right. He clearly supports the notion of money in politics – at least, in the voting part of politics – by apparently favoring the relative disenfranchisement of people who don’t pay taxes (by which he most likely means federal income taxes, since virtually everyone pays all sorts of other taxes). Last week’s Supreme Court decision in McCutcheon v. FEC has also rekindled thoughts about money in politics, following as it does the now-infamous 2012 decision in Citizens United. At this point, there’s no question about it. The more conservative members of the Supreme Court have made it clear that, with rare exception, they consider money – and its use in political campaigns - to be a form of protected First Amendment speech. McCutcheon struck down the ban on aggregate contributions that an individual can give to political candidates and campaigns. The decision permits Congress to regulate campaign contributions only to protect against quid pro quo corruption – otherwise known as bribery – but not to regulate contributions simply to reduce the amount of money in politics or to restrict the political participation of some (the zillionaires) in order to enhance the relative influence of others (everybody else). Or to put it another way, if your campaign contributions gain you greater access to or influence over your elected representative, then that’s OK. It’s only within the very narrow concept of direct bribery that Congress can restrict money in politics. Writing for the majority in McCutcheon, Chief Justice Roberts stated: “Spending large sums of money in connection with elections, but not in connection with an effort to control the exercise of an office-

holder’s official duties, does not give rise to quid pro quo corruption. Nor does the possibility that an individual who spends large sums may garner influence over or access to elected officials or political parties.” The naiveté of that last statement is breathtaking. Except, apparently, for the five conservative justices on the Supreme Court, does anyone seriously believe that people such as Sheldon Adelson - the Las Vegas zillionaire who held court with several potential Republican presidential candidates last week – and his millions in campaign contributions won’t get him far more access, far more influence, far more legislative hearings than the average voter can get? In a world in which reality mattered, this would be a non-partisan issue. After all, before it was captured by the likes of the zillionaire Koch brothers, the Tea Party seemed to reject the untoward influence of Big Money in politics, as it did with regard to President Bush’s 2008 decision to seek a bailout for all those extremely wealthy Wall Street bankers who gave us the Great Recession. But alas, no more. To the contrary, the Supreme Court’s decision in McCutcheon was welcomed by the Tea Party, indeed by most Republicans, even as it was derided by most everyone else. Which begs the question … Why? One obvious though arguably shortsighted answer, of course, is that a majority of zillionaires (though certainly not all) tend to vote Republican, so it’s likely that more money will go to Republican candidates. Hence the cheering from the right for what amounts to an opportunistic decision, even as they try to camouflage it as a free speech issue. Fortunately, we still have “one man, one vote” in this country, so to the extent people get themselves to the polls and vote in their own best interest, there’s still some leverage for the average person in our democracy. That said, one is sorely tempted to slip into cynicism come election day. And that, I fear, is exactly what some of the uber wealthy who have benefitted from the McCutcheon decision are hoping for, because if enough ordinary Americans decide that their vote means nothing, it’s the Sheldon Adelsons of this country who will buy and control our democracy. And nobody in their right mind (no pun intended) should want that! Cindy Offutt is a member of Kendall County Area Democratic Women.

pool wells still not usable Do you remember when the water tasted like oil back around Christmas? That taste came from the wells located near the swimming pool located off Main Plaza and was caused by a combination of iron and carbon dioxide gas in the water. Unfortunately the condition still exists and the city is unable to use these wells. Iron has always been present in this water, however the carbon dioxide gas is something new and causes all of the trouble.

April 18, 1974 News from enforcement officers

WRITE OF CENTER

Richard Sena KENDALL COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY

Last month Kathleen De Leon criticized in her progressive column what she described as intolerance within today’s Republican Party. She rhetorically asked if we should all act uniformly and wear the same shade of green. I agree that we need to encourage political pluralism. Life would be very boring if everyone had the same beliefs. Tolerance of others’ views and their right to express them is the foundation of our liberty. Any effort to squelch free speech and thought is extremely dangerous. However, I don’t agree with Kathleen that intolerance dominates today’s GOP. For example, though the GOP platform is strongly pro-life, every national convention we’ve had has included speakers who are pro-choice. Conversely, no prolife Democrat has been allowed to address their national convention in over 25 years. Since abortion has become a sacrament in the religion of modern liberalism, where is the Democrat’s tolerance for diversity on this issue? Ronald Reagan said he preferred an elected Republican he agrees with 80 percent of the time over a liberal he rarely agrees with. We will always have shades of difference within our party, and we should. That is how you have a “big tent” that can win elections and subsequently govern with the support of the majority of people. A more moderate Republican like Senator Susan Collins of Maine actually represents her constituents’ views more accurately than conservatives like Senators Ted Cruz or Mike Lee. She votes with conservatives 70 percent of the time, and that is preferable to being replaced by a liberal who rarely supports our views, or a more conservative candidate who may not be able to win a general election in the moderately liberal Maine. The left’s growing intolerance is not limited to abortion. Recently, conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer stated, “The left is entering a new phase of ideological agitation; no longer try to win the debate but stop debate altogether – banishing from public discourse any and all opposition. The proper word for that is totalitarianism.” Wow! This is strong stuff. Is Krauthammer on to something? Recent news stories abound with examples of intolerance on the left. Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich was forced out of his position only 10 days after being promoted. Why? To radical leftists, Eich had the audacity

The Highway Patrol investigated a minor traffic accident Tuesday at Comfort. No one was injured. During the week they also made several arrests for speeding. The ambulance made a transfer from a local nursing home to Comfort. The sheriff’s department solved the burglary at the Middle School. One toolbox was taken worth $72 with tools, five stop watches worth $150, one case of Coke and $20 cash was taken from the school. Officers Glenn White and Roland Lee were the investigating officers. Three Boerne boys are alleged to be involved.

April 19, 1984 Water: Tomorrow’s big problem By Lloyd Murphy, President, Kendall County Board of REALTORS. Of all the possible factors which could limit growth in our area, water is prime. The primary source of recharge of our ground water is from rainfall on the outcrop. For the past year I have been privileged to serve on the Kendall County Water Quality and Resources Committee, as established by the Kendall County Commissioners Court. An early conclusion of the committee is that sur-

face water will eventually be needed if Kendall County is going to be able to provide for the anticipated increase in population. Your current Commissioners Court is to be commended for looking ahead to the problems of not only where our future water is coming from, but how to protect what we have now.

April 20, 1994 City council denies church appeal

back in 2004 to donate $1000 supporting a California constitution initiative limiting marriage to a man and a woman. Proposition 8 passed by over 500,000 votes, but was overturned by a non-elected, activist liberal judge. Despite being a co-founder and major contributor to Mozilla’s success, Eich’s support of traditional marriage meant he had to go, and these radicals turned up the heat on the spineless Mozilla board, who then forced Eich to resign. What a disgrace! Prior to 2012, President Obama claimed that he opposed same sex marriage. Yet, we didn’t hear the radical left demand his resignation. I guess they were afraid if labeling him a homophobe they’d be viewed as racists! A recent college feminist conference focusing on “Inclusiveness” attempted to ban a student journalist from campusreform.org. Attendees were warned by conference organizers that the journalist was from a “conservative group” and that they might not want to speak with her. Oh the horror! Imagine communicating with someone who has a different worldview! Apparently these leftists believe that inclusiveness is acceptable as long as you agree with them. What hypocrisy! Following protests from local Muslims, the University of Michigan at Dearborn eliminated the showing of “Honor Diaries,” a film describing the radical Islam practice of killing women who have brought “shame” to their families. This is the same university that proudly displays a poster stating that “abortion is a gift from God.” Why did this university protect Muslim sensitivities? It wasn’t because radical Islam supports the women’s movement. Simply, it is because another of the left’s sacraments is multiculturalism; that no one society is preferable to another. Many of us remember leftist college protestors chanting “hey hey, ho ho, western civilization’s got to go.” Obviously they don’t support the concept of American exceptionalism or leadership in the world. Krauthammer also wrote that anyone who opposes leftist orthodoxy is labeled “a bigot, homophobe, racist, sexist or an enemy of the people.” This harassment is designed to intimidate people into submission. The far left’s behavior clearly shows they are as guilty of the intolerance they claim to see in others. Worse, it shows a definite disdain for American values and history. I’ll accept our more reasonable Democratic friends pointing out the plank in conservative’s eyes when warranted. However, it sure would be nice if they’d join us in rebuking the far left’s intolerance. Such a move would show a unifying commitment to political pluralism that benefits us all.

church could not tear down the old sanctuary. Following that, the church appealed the commission’s decision to the city council. Last week’s meeting was moved from the council chambers to the Boerne Community Center in anticipation of the standing room only crowd of approximately 200 people that attended.

April 16, 2004 City rejects Perry’s plan

The Boerne City Council voted last Tuesday to uphold a Historic Landmark Commission ruling that denied St. Peter’s Catholic Church a permit for construction and demolition of most of the 1923 church structure in Boerne. The vote came after an hour of sometimes dramatic speeches from citizens who stood in line to address the council and speak for and against the proposed construction of a new sanctuary that called for demolition of the old one, leaving only the façade and towers. The action began last fall when the church announced plans for building a new sanctuary, and peaked in February when the city’s Historic Landmark Commission ruled that the church was in the city’s historic district and determined that the

Gov. Rick Perry’s proposed

school tax reform plan could cost the city millions in revenue, April 13 city council members approved a resolution opposing the plan. Perry called his plan a constitutionally linked tax roll as opposed to a split-tax, will lower residential school property tax rates by 25 cents. Boerne Director of Finance Don Cormie shared with council members the repercussion Perry’s plan would have for the city. “If these provisions were already in effect, the city would have received $1.9 million less in property tax revenue this year.”

Boerne marks 63rd National Day of Prayer service sands of events across the country creates a huge wave of prayer and illustrates the unity of God’s people,” he added. The Boerne Area Christian Community of Churches sponsors the annual event. This year’s theme is “One Voice, United in Prayer,” and Romans 15:6 is the featured scripture: “So that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the

Nineteen:Ten Church will host a community observance of the 63rd National Day of Prayer Thursday, May 1, beginning at 7 p.m. at 130 Sisterdale Road. “This year we will engage the congregation in every aspect of the prayer, praise and worship,” said Mike Meadows, chairman of the Boerne committee. “Millions of people gathering together on that day at thou-

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Prayers will be offered for local and national businesses, churches, education, families, government, the media and military. Childcare will be provided and handicapped parking is available. As early as 1775 the Continental Congress asked colonial Americans to pray for wisdom in forming a

nation, indicating the country has seen the need to call upon God for guidance from its very beginning. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of “humiliation, fasting, and prayer” in 1863, and thus began the practice of a day dedicated to prayer for the nation and its people. In 1952, President Harry S. Truman declared the first National Day of Prayer, and

an annual observance of the day was signed into law. President Ronald Reagan designated the first Thursday in May as the annual observance of the National Day of Prayer in 1988. Ten years later, a law was enacted stating that each year the President shall issue a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer.

A beginning that never began; ending with no end What could possibly have no beginning and no end? Only one thing really, and that is God. So as we approach this Easter weekend how does this simple truth touch our lives? Someone without knowledge of the Scripture or someone who is ignorant by choice might think that Jesus began in Bethlehem and ended on Golgotha. The truth being that neither of those are true. Some of these folks think that Jesus was just a great teacher. If that were so they missed the lesson on his eternal existence. The Gospel of John tells us that Jesus preexisted time. He was the Creator. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever.” Jesus always was and always will be. Did you realize that is the definition of eternal life? That’s right, eternal life has no beginning and no end. If you go to church most every Sunday or if this Sunday is your annual trek, think on this while you worship. Your God and mine is a God of all time. Although Jesus came to us in human form to redeem mankind from its sin,

he is also Spirit, who always existed. He didn’t say “bang” one day and the world just happened to come about. He created it with great care and wisdom including you and me. This next thought is one that you may have to struggle with a bit, but like many other truths from Scripture, there is a bit of mystery. One of those mysteries is because some well-meaning person, probably a guy from Switzerland, invented the watch. It is crucial in comprehending much of Scripture that we understand that God doesn’t wear a Rolex. Time from God’s perspective is completely different than ours. God views time from the perspective of eternity, not measured like ours. We scurry about our lives thinking we are going to be late and that would not be good. My advice, don’t ever show up late for

a job interview and don’t show up early for a doctor’s appointment. Now I want you to think about a verse of Scripture that you can undoubtedly quote. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” Every Christian knows and loves that verse but I suspect few have completely understood its full significance. Remember the definition – eternal has no beginning and no end. Now carefully, so you don’t suffer from shock, put that together with the result of believing in Jesus. You just received a life that has no beginning and no end. Big leap? Not really. It’s time for a little visual. Set the paper down and extend both your arms to the side and parallel to the floor. View your arms as a line that represents eternity. It goes forever in both directions. If you have received the life of Christ, you have his eternal life living in you. Now that is something to cause you to worship this Easter Sunday morning. He is Risen. Glory to God!

Business PEC program supports VFD, EMS, other community organizations Pedernales Electric is recognizing and supporting 158 local organizations throughout its service area with donations through its annual Light the Way program. PEC has been offering valuable community support for several years to groups that render aid, assist neighbors, enrich communities and provide safe environments for seniors. This year, donations have gone to Kendall County

EMS, Kendalia Volunteer Fire Department, Kendalia Public Library, Boerne Volunteer Fire Department, Leon Springs Volunteer Fire Department, Bergheim Volunteer Fire Department, Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce and the Patrick Heath Public Library in Boerne. Light the Way honors emergency medical services, fire departments, senior citizen centers, chambers of com-

merce and libraries. Those receiving a $1,000 Light the Way donation help their communities by providing vital and necessary services that benefit all citizens, including PEC members. “These organizations help protect and support our growing communities. They make the Texas Hill Country a better place,” said PEC’s vice president of communications. For more information, visit www.pec.coop.

Election forum lets PEC members learn about board candidates, vote Pedernales Electric Cooperative is inviting its members to a forum to learn more about this year’s PEC board candidates and to give feedback on the election system referendum on the co-op’s ballot. The forum will be held Thursday, April 24, at 5:30 p.m. at PEC headquarters, 201 S. Ave. F in Johnson City. At the forum, each candidate will be given several minutes to present their views, and then all candidates will take questions in a moderated format. Video of the event will be posted online at www.pec. coop/election. This year, the Cooperative’s membership will elect directors from districts 2 and 3. Candidates are PEC members and achieve

nomination by getting 50 members’ signatures on a petition and completing other official paperwork. The PEC ballot also will include a referendum on the current at-large voting system or a single-member district voting system. More information about the referendum is available at www.pec.coop/election, and members can submit comments at www.pec. coop/2014vote. Ballots will be mailed to members by May 27, after which members will be able to vote by mail or online through June 13, or they can wait to vote in person at PEC’s annual meeting June 21 in Cedar Park. Election results will be announced before the conclusion of the meeting.

Boerne Brewery hosts descendants of ‘Willy’s ESB’ namesake, early Kendall County settler Boerne Brewery has been producing and distributing four distinct ales throughout Boerne and Northern San Antonio. One of the ales, Willy’s ESB, is named after one of Boerne’s early settlers, William George “Willy” Hughes. Descendants of Willy Hughes, Pam and Jon Terhune and Jean, Willy’s granddaughter, are scheduled to arrive in San Antonio on April 23, and the following day, they plan to visit the original ranch site of William Hughes, now the Maytum Ranch, as well as tour the brewery. Boerne Brewery’s operations are managed by Fred and Jennifer Hernandez. Hughes was born in Kensington, London, England, on May 29, 1859. He attended Marlborough College and immigrated to America, arriving in New York on Sept. 15, 1878, and reaching San Antonio on Sept. 29. He immediately entered apprentice training as a shepherd without pay. He soon bought 160 acres of land three miles west of Boerne in Kendall County, where, on March 22, 1879, he began what later became a very successful ranching operation. One of his early achievements was to import the superior Oxfordshire Downs sheep and start developing high-quality breeding stock that brought premium prices. Also, through diversification, outstanding management skills, and hard work, he amassed some 7,000 acres of ranchland of his own and leased several hundred additional acres of state school land. Hughes quickly recognized the potential of Angora goats in his integrated ranching operation and was among the first ranchers to bring this breed to Kendall County. He purchased his seed stock from William M. Landrum of Laguna, Uvalde County, who moved to Texas from California in 1883. When President Grover Cleveland per-

Earth Day and financial investments On April 22, we celebrate Earth Day – a day devoted to education and action on environmental issues. As a citizen of the world, you may have a keen interest in protecting your physical surroundings. And as someone trying to reach long-term financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you’re probably also interested in improving your investment environment. So here are a few suggestions: • Respond to environmental factors. Over the past few years, we’ve had a favorable investment climate, marked by low inflation, low interest rates and generally strong corporate profits. And investors who have taken advantage of this positive environment have, for the most part, been rewarded. But things can change, so it’s always a good idea to understand the current investment environment, as it may affect your investment choices. For example, if it seems likely that long-term interest rates are going to rise significantly, you might need to review your long-term bond holdings, as their price would be negatively affected by a rise in rates. • Nurture your investments. One area of environmentalism involves planting seeds or saplings and nurturing them to maturity. You can do the same thing with invest-

ments – and a good way to nurture them is to give them time to grow in all investment climates. But how long should you hold these investments? You might heed the advice of Warren Buffett, one of the world’s most famous investors, who says this about his investment company: “Our favorite holding period is forever.” It takes patience to follow the buy-and-hold strategy favored by Mr. Buffett – and it also requires the discipline necessary to keep investing through the inevitable downturns you will encounter. But over the long term, your perseverance may well be rewarded. • Avoid “toxic” investment strategies. Unfortunately, many human activities are bad for the environment. Similarly, some investment strategies are “toxic” for your prospects of success. Consider the pursuit of “hot” stocks. They sound inviting, but, by the time you hear about them, they may have lost their sizzle – and in any case, they might not be right for your needs. Here’s another “poisonous”

suaded Congress to reduce import tariffs and Australian wool flooded the United States market in 1887, Hughes immediately switched from sheep to Angora goats and mohair production. Another innovative ranching practice he initiated was to buy cheap mustang mares and breed them to his registered Arabian stallion, thus producing a durable, highquality riding horse that was popular with the United States Cavalry. During the Spanish-American War he trained and delivered hundreds of horses to cavalry units both in San Antonio and at the Mustang Island staging area near Corpus Christi. Hughes married Lucy C. Stephenson on June 28, 1888. They had three children. In addition to attending children and keeping house, Lucy, encouraged by her husband, began a productive dairy business with a herd of registered Jersey cows. The dairy sold up to 400 pounds of butter a month in San Antonio. Hughes founded Hastings, Texas, and became its first postmaster on April 17, 1890. The post office was named for his father, William Hastings Hughes. Hughes helped organize the Hastings one-teacher school in the mid-1890s. He wrote numerous articles and scientific papers on raising and marketing Angora goats. He also collaborated with his famous uncle, Thomas Hughes, author of the classic Tom Brown’s School Days and founder of Rugby, Tennessee, in writing letters about his early Texas ranching experiences that were later published in a book, “GTT-Gone to Texas” (1884). Hughes died in a train accident in Bellville, llinois, on November 25, 1902, while on his way to show prized Angoras at a northern livestock exhibition.

Keeping your records safe? Here’s tips A number of years ago a friend of mine was driving home one day. As she turned the corner to her street she saw fire trucks, police and neighbors filling the street in front of her house. She looked up to see her house was engulfed in flames. Fortunately, no one was home at the time. Yet, the fire not only destroyed their home but also much of all the contents. In the days that followed, she and her insurance adjuster started combing through the wreckage left by the fire and the firemen who eventually contained the flames from reaching her neighbors’ homes. What comes to your mind of the items my friend lost? To start with the basics –all clothes, furniture, appliances, computer and office equipment, financial records and documents, and everything hanging on the walls, including family pictures and paintings. Where a treasure of photo albums and pictures were stored there were only ashes. Just about every possession was gone except, miraculously, a few photos that were buried several feet deep in the rubble. Where would you start to put your life back together if this happened to you? Keep in mind, that my friend spent two years working with insurance companies to prove it wasn’t her fault. Once that was settled, she was dealing with construction workers as her new house was being built on the same lot. In the meantime, she and her family first lived in a nearby hotel, then rented a house. How can you ever recover all those memories of 30-plus years living in that house, raising your kids into adulthood? One thing is sure: without some plan and storage already in place, those precious memories in the form of pictures, letters, children’s toys and other family relics are gone forever. So, if you haven’t got a plan or safe storage location

in place today, how about getting started, for the “just in case” moments in life. Organizational expert, Barbara Hemphill, president of Hemphill & Associates in Raleigh, N.C., has these suggestions for the safe keeping of records: • Collect important personal papers and information related to financial transactions. • Identify a single location to file all crucial papers, such as a fireproof box or safety deposit box. • Create copies (certified in cases of birth certificates and other crucial documents) for future needs with government agencies. • Put important original documents in plastic covers to protect them and to help you identify them as the original document. • Notify the appropriate people where important information will be located, in case you’re not available when disaster strikes. • As you work through the day, always be aware of the kinds of information you should add to your filing system. Keep notes on a card you carry with you or buy a mini tape recorder to save your thoughts. • Identify the records you or your financial institutions keep only on computer, since they may not be available in case of a large scale power failure. • If you keep records in a safe deposit box, don’t carry the key with you and make sure someone else (perhaps a trusted relative or your lawyer) has a copy of it. • Create backups of your computer records and if possible, store them off site. This can be done on diskettes, compact discs, zip disks or DVD-Rs. What do you consider

OK, now you can fertilize the grass It’s finally time to fertilize the yard – Income Tax Day – remember? You probably have mowed it a couple times already. Personally, I use 19-5-9 slow-release lawn fertilizer, but you use whatever you’re used to. OK? The important thing is to fertilize. Be careful and don’t put on too much. Remember more is not better … especially with fertilizer. Too much can kill all your grass overnight. Plus, the excess may get into the aquifer and then we all get to drink it. Remember also, that it’s not the fertilizer that burns up the plants, it’s the excessive fertilizing that does it; i.e., not the fertilizer but the people who use it. MORE APRIL CHORES Maintain your spray program for the roses … and don’t forget the rose food. You can plant lantanas, begonias, firebush, impatiens, portulaca, coleus, and zinnias this month. Wait on periwinkles. Let your bluebonnets dry out and turn brown before you collect the seeds. Save them in a paper bag in the fridge (not the freezer) to replant next fall. Thin the peaches, apples and plums to one fruit every 4 to 6 inches. Yeah, it’s hard to do but you have to if you want large fruit. Don’t fertilize them now. Control worms with Bt or Spinosad. YOUR LEAVES If you’ll just think for a minute, you’ll know what to do with all those leaves that are falling now. How does Mother Nature handle this little situation? Simple, she does nothing … just lets them lay on the ground until they decompose. Nobody rakes the leaves in the woods, now, do they? Nobody fertilizes the plants in the woods, do they? Nobody waters the plants in the woods, do they? Then how come the trees and other plants come back every year? Mystery? Nah. It’s just the recycling process in action. Mother Nature knows that by recycling the leaves and twigs and animal droppings and other stuff that falls to the ground, the natural process is going to take care of the

LET’S TALK GARDENING

decomposition of it all and it will be turned back into a substance (compost) that the plants can use again. About 80 percent of the nutrients taken up by the living things will be re-deposited for use again. The best thing you can do with the leaves is to mow them and leave them on the ground. Even if you have to mow them 2 or 3 times, that’s OK. The finer the particles get, the faster they’ll decompose. If you’ll do this, you’ll find that in a couple of years your grass will be greener longer with less fertilizer and less water. Tada! Win-win. COLD SNAP Sure hope the cold snap didn’t hurt any of your caladiums, Turk’s cap, coleus, lantanas, caladiums, hibiscus, peppers or fire bush. I don’t think it got cold enough, but these plants are not very coldhardy and may suffer a little. Not to worry, though. They’ll come right back in warm weather. FIRE ANTS? Fire ants really come up after rains like we’ve had. You now have a choice of mound-treatment or whole-yard-treatment. The whole-yard-treatment works even better if you can get your whole neighborhood to do it. Some of the fire ant-queens fly away from the nest in the fall and start new nests. If you’ll treat the whole lawn in about October or November, you’ll get rid of 95 percent of them. WEB WORMS OUT, TOO Web worms might be out already, too. If you see any webs, the best thing you can do is just break open the webs so that natural predators can get to the worms. If you want to buy something to spray, buy B.t. or Spinosad and be sure to cover the leaves well. The worms have to eat it before it can do its job.

“important papers?” One article you may find very helpful is found at USA.gov on Managing Household Records. They recommend three piles, active file, dead storage and shred or discard. The Active File includes all important papers and documents from throughout your home. Then decide which pile to put each item. The active file includes documents and financial records you deal with on a regular basis and need to refer to readily accessible at home: Appliance manuals, warranties and service contracts; bank statements; bill payment receipts; bills awaiting payment; credit card information; education records, diploma, transcripts, etc.; employment records; family health records, including vaccination histories; and health benefit information. Also a household inventory; income tax working papers; insurance policies; loan statements and payment books; password list; receipts for items under warranty; safe deposit box inventory (and key); tax receipts, such as

those received for charitable deductions. Also, you want to have a contact information sheet for banks and other financial institutions, clients, employers, employees, insurance agents, power, light, gas and other utility companies. Many financial software programs, such as Quicken, provide features for recording contact information, personal property inventory, along with your financial records. Utilizing one of these program will make it easier to compile the needed information for safe storage. Keep this contact sheet handy and safe. I definitely recommend utilizing a safe deposit box and possibly a fireproof safe in your home. After my friend moved back into her new home, the house was designed with a stateof-the-art fireproof safe for valuables and important documents. And since just about everything is going digital, make pdf or jpeg copies of all important records on a flash drive or larger external hard drive. Put one in the safe deposit box. Keep one

handy to backup all computer documents, family images and other files important to your family. Then rotate hard drives routinely from your safe deposit box – at least once per month or more often. None of us can predict the future. Yet, taking the time

to store your records, important documents and family memories as recommended will definitely help ease your mind on the “what ifs” of life. Next week we’ll focus on preserving and storing family memories, digitally speaking, for safe keeping.

What’s Your Position? Last article L i l I talked lk d about b how h I worked k d hard h d at positioning i i i my real estate company to be the real estate company thought of when people needed help with buying or selling their property. Then, I went on to talk about what position, personally do I want to be in as far as my family, my community, my relationships and my spiritual life is concerned. Obviously, I want to be number one. Just as it did when I was running my company, it takes conscious effort, planning, reaching out to other’s needs, sharing knowledge and experience, coaching, praying, giving both time and resources. There are so many opportunities every single day to position yourself to be the best. Most of the time we don’t realize how much we effect others by the words we speak, the facial expressions we make and the body language we show. Are you consciously making an effort to be smiling, using positive words instead of negative ones, presenting yourself in a friendship position by the way you stand, or lean or how you cross your arms. All of these things seem minor but to another person it is either going to lift them up or take them down. Do and say what will enhance your position in the eyes of your family and your friends. There is no better way for God to bless you than when you “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. I know this works and I know it will bring happiness into your life, little by little. We all can act better towards each other and we all need to receive better treatment from each other. Let’s position ourselves to be the best Emily Swope we can be and by doing that we can make the world we 830-377-8234 live in a better place. swope.emily@gmail.com

It was a case of better late than never for the Champion softball team Tuesday night when they clinched a playoff spot on the final night of the regular season. Champion defeated Seguin on Tuesday, 6-2, to snag one of two postseason berths up for grabs that night. The other playoff spot went to Lehman who defeated Clemens.

Charger rally not enough vs. Mules BY KERRY BARBOZA

■ Staff Writer

Champion’s sixth-andseventh-inning rally came up short Tuesday night when the Chargers hosted Alamo Heights in a District 27-4A tussle. After being kept off the board through the first five frames and facing a 5-0

deficit, the Chargers scored three runs in its final two at-bats but couldn’t catch the Mules who went on to post a 6-3 win. The loss drops the Chargers to 4-7 in district with three games left heading into Thursday night’s game at Alamo Heights. Champion head coach Chuck Foster said they

pretty much have to win out and need some help to have a shot at the postseason at this point. “We have to win three, I’m not going to candy coat it for them,” he said. “We have to win three in a row and the bottom line is we have to find a way to do

He singled in the third and fifth innings. He was also in control on the bump. JP II managed just two hits off of Standerfer, who allowed no earned runs, walked none and struck out four during his 2 1/3 innings of work. Geneva scored two runs in the fourth inning, and then followed it up with two more in the seventh. In the fourth, the Eagles scored on a tworun single by Caleb Hohne, bringing home Ryne Hutton and Zach Ward.

The game was never in doubt after the fourth, as JP II scored five runs on an RBI double and two singles. After pushing across one run in the top of the sixth, the Eagles faced an 8-4 deficit. Geneva scored two in the seventh, but got no closer as JP II held on for the 8-6 victory. Also, Caleb Hohne added two hits for the Eagles, while Zach Ward scored three times and Ryne Hutton crossed home plate once.

Good Old Boys Golf League results BY CHARLES PROKOP

■ Special to the Star

Golfers play the same course over and over again, yet each round is different. The game changes every day: the wind shifts, the hole location changes, and there are countless different ways to hit that tree. Even when conditions stay the same, golfers change. The guy that nailed it right down the middle on Monday is likely to hit everything sideways on Tuesday. As this year’s Masters tournament proved, even Phil Mickelson, the recognized master of the short game, can inexplicably skull a chip through the green and triple bogey a hole on which he’d never made worse than bogey in 84 prior tournament rounds. But if you can combine a steady game with course

familiarity, a good score is sure to come your way. Consider Medina’s Larry Kirk, who has played with the Good Old Boys for years and made countless trips around the Flying L golf course. He turned his course experience into a payday at the last tournament by shooting 93 to win first place with 6 points. Bandera’s Art Wenske has been AWOL for a while, but he returned a few weeks ago. Wenske’s course knowledge is returning along with his game, and he tied Kirk’s 93 to earn 4 points and second place. Bandera’s Gene Ballard shot 83 and Medina’s Richard Mims shot 88 to earn 3 points and third place. There was a five-way tie for fifth place. Boerne’s Walter Stroman earned 2 points with a fine round of 73 and Charlie Thomas of Center Point was close behind with 76.

Boerne’s Richard Leeder also earned 2 points with 83, as did Bandera’s Jim Bernaducci with 86 and Kerrville’s Garry Hanson with 94. Yours truly, Charlie Prokop of Pipe Creek, was closest to the hole on No. 2. Jack Finger of San Antonio won hole No. 7, Charlie Thomas was closest on No. 12 and Jim Bernaducci was closest on No. 17. Forty-three players began the tournament, but an afternoon thunderstorm reduced the field to 31. Mike and Linda Kornmann won the first flight of the recent Flying L Couples Scramble with a net score of 69. Scott Ecke and Marilyn Dawson came in second with 71, followed by Ron and Jan Darby with 73. Terry and Dorene Peek won the second flight with a net 68. Ralph and Kim Ratliff were next with 69, and Bryan and Taylor Henson

tied Jim and Carole Martin for third with 70. The next couples’ tournament will be held at the Flying L on Sunday, April 20 at 12:30 p.m. The Flying L Men’s Golf Association held a 3-person, 2-low-ball shamble on April 5. Two teams shot 132 to tie at the end of regulation play. Kyle Broll, Jim Martin, and Robert Lewis took first place by defeating Bob Williams, Bobby Salyers and Doug Hood in a one-hole suddendeath playoff. The team of Ron Mercier, John Palmer and Terry Peek were third with a score of 134. The next Flying L Men’s Association event will be a 1-person scramble on Saturday, April 19, at 9 a.m. Players interested in the couples’ or men’s tournaments may sign up in the Flying L pro shop. Hayden Bomgaars placed second. In the running events, Bomgaars finished fourth in the 100 meters. Kight and Walker placed second and fourth in the 200-meter race. Teigen Ahrens and Cinco Winston placed third and fourth in the 800 meters and Ahrens also placed fourth in the 1600-meter race. Austin Lipe placed fourth in the 3200 meters and Tyler Navarro came in third in 300-meter hurdles. The relay team of Brehm, Bomgaars, Bryce Hartis and Ward finished second in the 4x100 relay and Lawrence Mixon, Bomgaars, Kight and Ward won the 4x200 relay. Hartis, Jonas, Mixon and Ward placed second in the 4x400 relay. The top four finishers in each event advance to the TAPPS 2A South Regional Track Meet which will be held Saturday, April 26 in Hallettsville. Check the Boerne Star for results

Geneva’s Addie Lipe takes her approach during the pole vault event at the TAPPS 2A District 3 Meet last week at Antonian High School.

Inglish also placed third in the 3200-meter race. Ericka Brell placed fourth in the 300-meter hurdles. The 4x100 relay team of Ward, Karlie Daniels, Skylar Tippetts and Stolle placed third as did the 4x200 relay team of Karlie Daniels, Kaila Daniels, Tippetts and Stolle. On the boys side, the Eagles finished in first place with a commanding nearly 100-point lead. Highlights in the field events were JohnMichael Kight’s third-place finish in the shot put and Johnny Lowry’s fourth-place finish in discus. Zack Jonas earned first place and Reynolds Walker placed second in high jump. Colton Brehm finished second in pole vault while Logan Ward and Jonas finished first and second in long jump.

day’s game. The Hounds scored five runs in the second and tacked on six more in the sixth. The five runs in the second gave BHS a 6-1 lead, but the Hawks climbed back into the contest with two runs in the fifth and sixth frames to make it a one-run game at 6-5. That’s when the Lady Hounds put the game away with six runs to live to fight another day. In the second, Mikayla Tupper hit an RBI single, Meagan Kujawa slapped out

an RBI triple and Maddie Walker hit an RBI single to help give BHS five runs. In the sixth, Kujawa knocked one out of the park for a solo home run, while Kayle Page and Taylor Moran had RBI singles. Boerne High finished with 11 hits in the game, four from the bat of Kujawa who just missed the cycle and finished with a home run, triple and two singles to go with two runs scored and two RBI. Koral Riggs scored three

times, Walker finished with two hits and an RBI, Page drove in two runs on two hits and scored once, Moran collected three RBI and had a hit and scored a run, Savanna Hudiburgh scored, Kata Haas had a single and scored, Tupper drove in a run, had a hit and scored and Elizabeth Camarillo crossed home plate twice. Walker picked up the win from the circle and she gave up six hits, two earned runs, two walks and struck out two Hawks.

gers score three runs in the inning and build a 5-1 lead. “It was huge, not just for the team, but for Stephanie. She had been in a slump lately and hit a foul ball hard off her ankle and needed something to get her confidence back because she was hitting the ball so hard and so well at the beginning of the season,” McGarr said. “To see her do it now is perfect timing, she needs that confidence going into playoffs.” Seguin scored a run in the fourth and trimmed the Champion lead to 5-2, but

the Chargers answered that run with one of their own for the 6-2 advantage which held to the end. McGarr said the bottom line is they just went out and played softball on Tuesday. “I feel like the season has played a lot of head games with us and we’ve been caught up in the ‘what ifs’ instead of the here and now,” she said. “I just wanted it to be that kind of game and do everything we can to be successful.” Both teams had 10 hits in Tuesday’s game, but the

Chargers turned them into six runs. Crumrine finished with two hits, two RBI and one run scored, Maddie Boyers knocked out three hits, including one double, drove in two runs and scored once, Reilly Metzger knocked out two hits and scored a run, Grace Kerr smacked two doubles and scored twice, Mikaela Kerr had a hit and Jenna Widell finished with a hit and a run scored. Boyers threw all seven innings and gave up 10 hits and two runs, walked one and struck out two.

PLAYOFFS FROM PAGE 15A when it mattered,” she said. “They did it tonight and I’m proud of them.” After Seguin took the early lead with a run in the first, Champion answered with two runs in the bottom of the frame for the 2-1 lead and never trailed from there. In the third, Stephanie Crumrine had the hit of the game when she sent one over the fence to help the Char-

HOUNDS FROM PAGE 15A sweep Thursday night when they visited Canyon Lake. The Hounds are 17-3-1 overall and 11-1 in district. Boerne High took the 1-0 lead in the second when Cole Mobley walked and moved to third on a Clay Land single. Carson Cox came up and reached on a fielder’s choice and Mobley scored. Canyon Lake tied it in the top of the third with a run, but the Hounds answered

CHARGER FROM PAGE 15A it Thursday against a pretty good pitcher.” Champion has seen some pretty good pitching in their last two losses and only scored four runs in the process. Foster said it’s hard to win games with only four runs in two games. The Chargers did have eight hits Tuesday, but couldn’t manufacture runs until the sixth. “We have to push runs across the plate to win ball games and we have to take advantage when people are in scoring position and get them in. We have to get a

with two runs in the bottom of the inning for the 3-1 advantage. In the third, Tommy Alexander singled and Hunter Hurt walked to put two runners on. From there, Adam Alfano doubled to score Alexander and Hurt. Boerne High built on its lead in the bottom of the sixth after Mobley started a rally with two outs. He singled to right and Land followed with a single to put two runners on base. Luke Baird doubled and Mobley scored to increase the lead to 4-1 and the Hounds would

need every run since the Hawks made it interesting in the top of the seventh. In the top of the seventh, Canyon Lake had its first two batters reach base but reliever Carson Cox retired the next two batters with a strikeout and a pop up to left to leave the Hawks with two on and two out. The next batter singled to load the bases. That was followed by a double to score two runs and put the tying run at third, but Cox was able to fan the next batter and end the game and get the save.

Luke Baird was the winning pitcher after he went six innings and gave up four hits, three runs, two earned, struck out five and walked two, while Cox fanned two and gave up two hits in his one inning of work. BHS had seven hits in the game with Alexander getting two of them and scoring a run. Cox picked up an RBI, Baird collected two RBI and hit a double, Hurt scored, Alfano recorded a double and two RBI, Mobley scored twice and had one hit, while Land finished with two hits and a run scored.

big hit and we’re just not getting it right now,” he said. “We got a couple late, but by that time we were already pretty far down and it’s kind of hard to come back and do it. The kids are fighting, it’s not for a lack of effort and they want to win and are competing hard, we’re just not getting it done.” In the sixth, Charlie Shipp reached on a single, Elliott Harlos followed with a walk and Brady Sullivan hit a single to load the bases. Cort Cowart hit a fielder’s choice and the Mules turned a double play but Shipp scored. Later, Zeke Curney singled and drove in Harlos and it was 5-2. Alamo Heights tacked on a

run in the top of the seventh to make it 6-2, but in the bottom of the inning, Kelton Roe and Nick Kindred walked to put two on with no outs. Nate Elam smashed a single to center that scored Roe and moved Kindred to second, but that’s where the rally ended after the Mules relief pitcher retired the next three Champion batters with a pop up and two strikeouts. “We’ve got to put pressure on people early. When you don’t do that it allows a guy to go out there and pitch comfortable and their pitcher did that for a lot of innings until we were able to get to him late a little bit,” Foster said. “He ran out of gas but the damage was done to us.

Charlie (Shipp) pitched well enough to win but we just have to help him by getting some runs so he’s allowed to pitch more comfortable.” NOTES: Champion coach Chuck Foster said he was pleasantly surprised that PGA golfer Jimmy Walker agreed to throw out the first pitch at Tuesday’s game. “I tweeted him congratulations and told him we’d love to honor him and was so shocked to hear back that he was interested,” Foster said. “Without a doubt, it shows what kind of person he is to give back to a local school.

Q&A with Jimmy Walker Two days after playing at The Masters Tournament where he pocketed $234,000 for finishing tied for 8th, PGA golfer Jimmy Walker was at Boerne Champion throwing out the first pitch at the Chargers baseball game on Tuesday. Before he stepped up to the mound, Walker took a few minutes to visit with the Boerne Star. Q: What other sports besides golf did you play growing up? A: I played baseball through eighth grade and I played basketball. Golf was really it in high school. I quit playing everything else after eighth grade, I pretty much just straight up played golf. Q: What sport were you the best at besides golf? A: Baseball, I had a good arm. Q: You won three times in your first eight starts this year, how do you explain such a great start to 2014? A: It was a lot of hard work and you need a lot of luck to win, especially a golf tournament. When the opportunity arises you have to take advantage of it. I played well and played solid, I putted well and just didn’t give a whole lot away. Q: By winning three times in eight starts, that put you in some pretty elite company, matching Tiger Woods, David Duval and Phil Mickelson as the only players since 1999 to win three times in at least the first eight events in a season. During that time did you stop and think about the golfers you had matched? A: I honestly had no idea about that statistic so it was something I was doing and it was the last thing I was thinking about when I was trying to win at Pebble Beach. Q: You could live anywhere in the world, why did you and your family choose to live in the Boerne area? A: We were sitting down eating dinner right down the street (from Boerne Champion) and we just like the way the town feels. It’s close to San Antonio so we can get out of here when we need to fly. I grew up in New Braunfels and Boerne has a smaller feel than New Braunfels. My wife is from Utah and she really likes it here. It’s nice, the weather is great and we really enjoy it here. Q: You’ve played on golf courses on several different continents, what’s your favorite tournament and favorite golf course? A: My favorite golf tournament is The Northern Trust at Riviera. I think that has to be one of my favorite tournaments and one of my favorite courses. Last week at Augusta was great, but of the ones I’ve gotten to play, I really enjoy the

Professional golfer Jimmy Walker throws out the first pitch before Tuesday’s baseball game at Boerne Champion. Northern Trust at Riviera Country Club the most. Q: What would it mean to play in the Ryder Cup? A: It would mean the world, it’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid watching with my dad. It’s the ultimate expression of playing for your country in golf, it’s like our Olympics. I know it’s only playing against Britain, but that was the golf world back when they started it and that’s where the best golfers in the world come from. Q: What’s your best golf memory, either as an amateur or professional? A: Probably shooting 66 at the U.S. Open in the first professional event I ever played. That’s been my favorite thing I’ve done to date, it was really special. I knew I needed to play really well and did. Q: I understand you’re a photographer, what kind of equipment do you use? A: When I’m shooting the family and stuff like that I’m a Canon guy, but I shoot astrophotography at night and that uses a lot of highly specialized equipment. Q: What advice would you give to an up-andcoming golfer in high school or college? A: It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of perseverance and a lot of luck. To make it as a professional in any sport the odds are stacked against you so school is huge. If you do well in school and take care of business I think that can only be a help to any young person growing up. round, they went on to win the next two tough matches, finishing 5th which qualifies them as alternates at the state tournament, which will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, April 23-24, in Waco.

clean up over at the Boerne Visitor’s Center,” Olsen said. “I didn’t notice much trash at first, but once you really start looking around, you wouldn’t believe the amount of trash and how it spreads towards the two shopping plazas in front of the Visitor’s Center.” Olsen would like to see more community awareness with regard to Boerne’s trash problem and “involvement from the city, local businesses and volunteer organizations are key to easing the problem,” Olsen said. The Y’s monthly clean-up group gathers as many as a dozen garbage bags full of litter each time they head out, Olsen said. She added, “Sadly, we can not get it all at one time and each time we go back there is more.”

Rezia Olsen, membership engagement coordinator of Boerne’s YMCA, was a particularly enthusiastic participant in last Saturday’s Keep Boerne Beautiful day. In fact several months ago, Olsen - on the lookout for a community service project - decided to gather a group for regular litter patrol on Boerne’s southside. “I wanted to be a good steward of our facility and give potential members a good first impression of the Y,” Olsen said That effort has turned into a team of five to eight volunteers who gather once a month, not only cleaning up around the YMCA, but further afield, as well. “It was suggested that we

Reader’s Advisory - we’re here to help Like so many things we do, we describe things in words that only our cluster of professionals understands. Take Reader’s Advisory, for example. It’s a library phrase that no one else understands. But it has big impact in the library. One of our most important, and dare I say most enjoyable, jobs is to lead people to books that they will love. That’s what reader’s advisory is in a nutshell. It’s finding multiple ways – traditional and electronic – to connect people with books. Many companies already do versions of this with algorithms. A great example of this is Amazon. You view a murder mystery on Amazon, it gives you what other people have viewed who also viewed your item. It cuts out some work on the buyer’s part. That’s what we are here to do – make finding the right book for you just that much easier. At the library, we are only hawking books so our interest is single-minded. I think most of us prefer the traditional approach to reader’s advisory, which is talking to someone face-to-face about books. In the library world, reader’s advisory has had resurgence of late as we are no longer just the purveyors of information, but the navigators of information. We help people parse down information into manageable pieces. We do this face-toface, but we are also exploring ways to push our expertise to people. We have several dis-

Soon, we will have books that are like “Game of Thrones.” So if you’ve gotten through that massive series and yearn for something similar, we have you covered. One of our most popular displays is staff picks. We also have teen books that you might like. As a mother of a 10-year old who has advanced out of the kids’ area in his reading material, I can tell you these books are fantastic. Books for this age group have exploded over the last 10 years. On our website we link to series information at Kent Library District. This is not reader’s advisory necessarily, but it does connect readers to next books in a series. The web address for this site is ww2.kdl.org/libcat/whatsnext.asp. There is also www. fantasticfiction.co.uk and www.literature-map.com/, which visually maps you to authors with similar books to the ones you like. Some of the issues we face with reader’s advisory is the sheer amount of new books being published and the fact that we can’t know all the

Mr. Salas

closes boot shop after 22 years Anyone who loves their boots has had boot conversations with someone. Mr. Salas is multi-talented with artistic skills, even with an old pair of boots. If a customer pleaded with him to give an old, worn-out pair of boots one final repair, only he could do it. Mr. Jerry K. Treybig still walks around the Hill Country displaying Mr. Salas’ work of art. His hand-made boots by M. L. Leddy in Fort Worth, Texas are over 40 years old. They are still good enough for another 1,010 miles. Mr. Treybig’s boots are now original because Mr. Salas patched them up one last time, and he plans to pass them on to his son. Mr. John L. Brockwell, another regular client of Mr. Salas, described him as a great craftsman. Mr. Salas had hundreds of customers and there is no telling how many thousands of shoes he repaired in his life. Some people shoe horses and some shoe feet. Mr. Salas was an expert in making any pair of leather shoes, wallet or belt look great again. God gifted him with a great talent and Mr. Salas took pride in providing us all with the best quality in everything he touched. Every Hill Country landscaper, engineer, banker, architect, famous cowboy or lawyer stood proud in their shoes. Their attire was not complete without a good looking pair of shoes on their feet. Mr. Salas served the Boerne community and Hill Country with pride and dedicated his life providing us all with the best service. He not only resoled our boots, but he did it with care and enthusiasm and it was always a joy to see the results. We are all very grateful and thankful for his years of service and we will miss him dearly. Dios le dio un gran talento. El Sr. Salas se sentia tan orgulloso de brindarnos un excelente servivio y gran calidad de ser humano sobretodo en su trabajo y en todo lo que el tocaba al momento de reparar. Cada trabajador en el “Hill Country” desde un trabajador de campos un ingeniero, arqutecto, o doctor hasta un “vaquero famoso” o abogado o cualquer profesion se sentinan orgullosos de sus profesiones, sobretudo usando un par de botes que va con su atuendo y los hace verse bien luciendo su calzado. El Sr. Salas se dedico a server a la comunidad al Boerne y Hill Country con tanta dedicacion y orgullo para sus clients durante todo su vida. No salamente repare nuestros zapatos/botas si no que tambien realizaba su trabajo contanto entusiasmoque se veta en los resultados de su trabajo final. “Gracias por todos tus excellente trabajos.” Y.M.S.

Also, the floor was uneven.� Hayward continued, “The building had been hit by a truck in the 1970s, so water had eroded that corner, and I thought the building was sinking. I hired foundation people ... they went in and cut those pickets at ground level to shore it up, but there’s nothing really holding it all up. They did that on the front and the side. If anything were to hit it now, it would collapse.� A stone facade layered over the same area presented another problem. Placed on top of clapboard facing in the 1930s or 1940s, it rests on bare ground with no support. Boerne architect Ben Adam helped Hayward design the improvements, and contractor AFS Framing will build two new exterior walls for the picket house, one on the Main Street side and one on the north side. The builder plans to drive into the foundation of the concrete side porch to stabilize the picket walls and replace the stone facade

Vicnair’s not concerned in the least, rather he’s tremendously excited. “There’s no two ways about it - I will be representing all of the department when I run in Boston,� Vicnair said. “And what’s really exciting is that all of the guys here feel the same way.�

Eight-foot doors, beefedup windows, a new electrical system and an interior renovation will ready the front space for retail or office use. Hayward also plans to install an open-to-theoutside cocktail bar later, but for now, she’ll use the remainder of the space for storage. “Our main priority is to get the exterior done. It’s just not healthy for the building to be that exposed. And the city was generous and gave us the $5,000 grant,� Hayward said. She had applied for and received the grant through the city’s Historic District Restoration Program after the Historic Landmark Commission first approved the renovations. Total costs for this phase of the exterior improvements are expected to come in at around $25,800. In musing about the building’s history, Hayward noted the dry goods store was unique in that it had only doors on the front facing Main Street and no windows, and shuttered windows on the side. “The building had several iterations,� she said. “Windows and doors were moved.

Everyone just kept on going with it, and I think if we pulled the rock facade off all the way around, it would have all different kinds of finishes. “There are no stories or records out there where people said, ‘we decided to tie the buildings together’ or ‘we decided to this with it.’ And the renovation was a much bigger project than I ever expected it would be.� After earning an undergraduate degree in photography from the University of Texas at San Antonio, Hayward attended culinary school at the Natural Gourmet in New York City, then earned a Masters degree in business administration from UTSA. She moved to Boerne in 1990 and worked as a chef at the Guadalupe River Ranch but said, “I always wanted to run a bakery. I worked at the Ranch for five years, and I would drive by the bakery [in the Joe Vogt building] every day.� Her mother Rosella Murphy owned the successful Antiques ’n Things shop on Main Street for 20 years where Hayward visited often, “so I always loved Boerne,� she said.

did us all proud with his fantastic playing, but BUBBA WATSON was at the heighth of his game and won the Masters and $1.62 million! Jimmy tied for eighth place after coming back after placing 2+. He was afforded great coverage the two days that I saw in the San Antonio Express-News, April 11 and 12. He even had a full length picture in one article. We are mighty proud of you Mr. Walker! Another Texan besides Walker was JORDAN SPIETH, age 20, who came very close to being the youngest golfer to win the Masters, but it was not to be. A favorite of ours was FRED COUPLES who showed everybody that at age 54 he still had the right stuff, finishing in seventh place! All in all great golf for everyone!
