Hogs in Fair Oaks Ranch?

BY JESSICA GOODE Managing Editor

Pigs may not fly, but they swim. Erroneously thought to be natural barriers for feral hogs, rivers and lakes do not keep the oinkers out, according to game management

specialist Bubba Ortiz. Evidence of potential hog activity at Ralph Fair Road and Fair Oaks Parkway prompted Fair Oaks Ranch city council members to invite Ortiz, of Ortiz Game Management, to have an audience with them during last Thursday’s regular meeting. “We know they’re in the area,”

Ortiz said. Brought to the Hill Country in the 16th century during Hernando de Soto’s exploration, the pigs were a prolific food source. Able to double its population within 120 days, one sow can give birth to up to 10 piglets

Waring Hall•Waring, texas Sunday, October 30th • 11AM - 3pm Entry by donation • Thank you for all Your Support!

BHS announces students honored by National Merit Boerne High School principal Natalie Farber announced this week that Ryan Rice has been named a National Merit Semi-Finalist and that Blake Barton, Johnathan D’Spain and Taylor Teague have been named Commended Students in the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSP). In addition to the National Meritrecognized students, students Austin Elguea and Emily Williams have been selected as 2016-17 National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) Scholars.

Several thousand semi-finalists and commended students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. These student placed among the top 5 percent of more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2017 competition by taking the 2015 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The NHRP was initiated in 1983 to identify outstanding Hispanic-Latino high school students. This year, the NHRP is recognizing nearly 5,300 stu-

dents selected from a pool of over 250,000 who took the 2014 PSAT/ NMSQT/PAA and identified themselves as Hispanic-Latino. Students recognized by the NHRP are at least one-quarter HispanicLatino (based on the program’s definition) and have achieved a minimum PSAT/NMSQT score for their region. Students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher are designated as scholars, and those with GPAs of 3.0 to 3.49 are designated as honorable mentions.

Viewpoints The invigorating ‘on’ switch of autumn’s north winds I waited with high anticipation for last week’s cool front to blow in. I think whoever coined the phrase, “winds of change,” enjoyed the vane’s north-shifting as much as I do. It wasn’t quite the first chilly air of the year (and by the time this is published, October may very well feel like summer again) but for weeks our breezes have struck from the south, whence they bring haze and weariness and even a certain lingering feeling of sadness. North winds aren’t like that. North winds are somehow hopeful. North winds bring the certainty that something good lies right around the corner. North winds are crazily clean,

even when they bring with them that High Plains dust). North winds are exciting. North winds poke lethargy and cause it to awaken. North winds smell fresh - beyond fresh - they smell of ingredients too vast and too distant for us to identify. North winds are dry and electric and edgy. North winds elicit the delight and respect of each and every plant (with, perhaps, the exception of succulents) – trees happily straighten their posture as the north winds blow through. Leaves work out a dizzying, synchronized choreography before letting go and pirouetting away.

OFF THE MAIN

Elena Tucker

North winds make Lil Mess run in even happier, crazier circles. North winds mean it’s blanket time once again in the Crumbly Old House. North winds mean the Fat Cat’s fur is suddenly twice as thick. Because of north winds, the pumpkins around my front-yard scarecrow suddenly don’t look quite as inapt. North winds produce goose

bumps instead of yawns. The raking of leaves amidst good, stiff north winds is one of life’s most excellent and impractical exercises. North winds cause our Central Texas sun feel oh-so-delicious. North winds means I can pull out what’s known in our family as “cloud socks.” North winds result in beautiful, intricate jet trails. North winds promise the arrival of goldfinches and the departure of short pants. As I write this, my feet are indeed snuggled in cloud socks and I’m finally wearing long sleeves. Mockingbirds and cardinals are nuttily warbling – generally going berserk. Our house, windows

open, is warmer than a vegetable crisper - but not by much. My fingertips are cold. The morning sunlight is making colored crystals of grass tips finally gone to seed. Asters are uninhibitedly showing off. The world is alive in a way that it’s not when the winds shift as they’re supposed to do just a few hours from now. That’s OK. I’ll take the winds however they blow. Winds are exhilarating. Winds awaken within us that life that sometimes threatens dormancy. Winds force us to pay attention. But nothing cuts through us with quite the joyful, terrifying, changing of energy as do these autumn north winds.

Worth Quoting …

“Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Bible Verse …

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’”

Does more learning equal more earning? Barack Obama brought us universal healthcare. Hillary Clinton is promising free college. Obama-care has reaped dubious results. Will Hillary-ed fare any better? With $20 trillion in existing federal debt, there are simply not enough “fair shares” to dig us out of the hole we’re in. Adding new entitlements to the mix will lead us further into the abyss. The federal government hasn’t taken responsibility for its part in today’s unsustainable higher education trends. How could it be entrusted with more? Asset bubbles occur most often when governments interfere with the private economy. In the name of a stated public policy goal (e.g., home ownership), governments often use taxpayer funds or their revenueraising authority to prompt certain activities. The perceived government backing of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 10 years ago made home loans extremely easy to obtain. The ample availability of housing funds inflated home prices to unrealistic levels. Even though we now know the fallout, it hasn’t stopped our government from doing it again, this time with

AMERICAN DREAMING

Kevin Thompson higher education. Government subsidies of higher education loans have ratcheted up spending and indebtedness to historic levels, from $400 billion a decade ago to $1.2 trillion today. “The Big Short” showed us in movie form the insane precursors to the housing crisis of 2007-2008. In one scene a Florida “adult entertainment professional” tells how she bought five rental condominiums without showing any proof of income. Lenders raised no red flags because there were greater fools downstream including in the quasi-government housing agencies. I foresee a similar scene in a future documentary about a coming student loan crisis. I picture a financial aid officer at a liberal arts institution passing loan documentation to a young man who is about to add $40,000 to his existing $120,000 in student loans.

“What are you majoring in?” the aid officer asks the student. His reply: “Cuisines of Ancient Cultures.” The officer will have minimal empathy for the relative un-marketability of such a degree. He certainly won’t question the student’s right to such an education. He’ll raise not even a yellow flag. Higher education institution enrollments have exploded in recent decades on the backs of 18- to 22-year-olds who don’t understand basic economics. Facility spending is up dramatically, as are faculty and administrative salaries. The number of administrative positions has increased, as has the average student’s time in school. Some trends are down: fulltime faculty vis-à-vis part time, emphasis on teaching versus research, and time spent per week studying. The average student studies five hours per week according to the 2014 documentary “Ivory Tower” about the state of colleges and universities in America. I guess there are just too many rock climbing walls to scale. The ubiquity of federallybacked student loan funding has skyrocketed tuition levels. As a result, state spending on higher educa-

tion has generally been able to decrease. The one exception is facility spending where state universities are borrowing in the billions to keep up with the Bob Joneses. Compared to the average high school graduate who does not attend college, the average college graduate still makes $1 million more over the course of her career. There is obviously still value in the knowledge, network and credentials that one obtains through higher education. However, unlike a housing crisis that can be partially unwound through the sale of hard collateral, student loans have nothing backing them up except the willingness and ability of the student to repay. The more we hear about borrowers’ blaming lenders for “leading them astray” and the more stagnant incomes stay, the less confident I am about our population’s collective commitment and capacity to repay its debt. That leaves taxpayers to foot the bill and will put our federal debt yet another notch higher. Follow Kevin Thompson at www.kwt.info.

Judge reaffirms injunction against bathroom directive AUSTIN — Fort Worth-based U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor has reaffirmed his Aug. 21 injunction placing a temporary hold on federal guidelines for accommodating transgender students in the use of public school bathrooms and locker rooms. In his order last week, O’Connor also denied a request by the Obama administration to limit the injunction to Texas and 12 other states that signed on as plaintiffs. The administration asked that the injunction not apply to states that did not sue for relief. In his order, O’Connor wrote, “A nationwide injunction is necessary because the alleged violation extends nationwide. Defendants are a group of agencies and administrators capable of enforcing their Guidelines nationwide, affecting numerous state and school district facilities across the country.” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in an Oct. 19 news release, said, “I am proud to lead a coalition of 13 states against the Obama Administration’s latest illegal federal overreach. The court’s reaffirmation of a nationwide injunction should send a clear message to the president that Texas won’t sit idly by as he continues to

ignore the Constitution. The president cannot rewrite the laws enacted by the elected representatives of the people and then threaten to take away funding from schools to force them to fall in line.” Background: On May 13, 2016, the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice released joint guidance “to help provide educators the information they need to ensure that all students, including transgender students, can attend school in an environment free from discrimination based on sex.” The two federal agencies said that under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, schools receiving federal money may not discriminate based on a student’s sex, including a student’s transgender status. On Oct. 20, the Obama administration appealed O’Connor’s Oct. 18 order to the New Orleans-based U.S. Court of

Also, according to the commission, Texas has added jobs in 17 of the last 18 months and the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the Lone Star State increased to 4.8 percent in September, up slightly from 4.7 percent in August. Meanwhile, the national unemployment rate was tabulated at 5.0 percent over the same period. Texas employers continue demonstrating their competitiveness by adding 38,300 jobs in September, for a total of 206,800 jobs added over the year, said TWC Chairman Andres Alcantar. The Amarillo and Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Areas recorded the month’s lowest unemployment rate among Texas MSAs with a non-seasonally adjusted rate of 3.5 percent, followed by the Lubbock MSA with a rate of 3.6 percent and the College Station-Bryan MSA with a rate of 3.7

Sometimes treatment isn’t as traumatic for pets as for owners I had my DVM degree for only two months when I encountered this case that I will never forget. The gentleman was sitting on the floor in the waiting room talking to his dog. He was telling him how sorry he was, how he had promised he would never do this. Clients waiting became sad and concerned especially when the man kept petting his dog and telling him that he would stay with him until it was “all over.� I understood the man was upset and asked the receptionist to see if he would be more comfortable in my office. The man refused to move indicating his preference for his pet to look out the front window into the sunshine because soon things would never be the same. At this point I excused myself from a client I was with and escorted the man and his dog to my office. I

told him I sympathized, but his pet was being neutered, which is a routine procedure and if he wanted to wait until I was done, I would appreciate that he not upset the other clients in the lobby. The man agreed to get a book out of his car and remain in my office with his dog. By this time, although we did not know each other, our communications were direct and informal and I could tell he was comfortable and almost appreciative of me, but things did not start out that way. Earlier that morning as the clinic opened, the man arrived and explained his dog was unable to go to the bathroom normally. His dog was straining to have bowel movements and he did not urinate very much. Additionally, the dog had not eaten as well the past couple of days. After a physical examination, I explained the prostate

was enlarged and painful and the dog would need to be neutered to remove the hormonal stimulation to allow the prostate to shrink and then the pet would have normal bowel and urine function again. I advised x-rays should be done to confirm my evaluation, but I was fairly certain this was the problem. The man became irate! He scolded me for being so rude to make such a terrible recommendation, that I could not possibly know what I was talking about, that my suggesting such a “drastic� surgery when his dog was only constipated was absurd. At this point he asked how long I had been a vet and wanted to see the doctor in charge. I explained that I had graduated two months previously and I was the doctor in charge. He ranted on, saying he would not ever allow me to touch his pet and stormed

out of the clinic without paying for the exam. I am no shrinking violet, so I called his phone number on the chart and left a message advising him to please see that his pet got medical care, that I would send him a bill for his office visit and when he sent in his check I would appreciate a note to let me know about his dog and what happened because I did care about his pet feeling better. In my message I explained

FROM PAGE 4 for September. HUD AWARDS FLOOD FUNDS Texas General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush on Oct. 20 announced the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded the state of Texas $45.2 million to assist in long-term recovery efforts following severe flooding events earlier this year. HUD, Bush said, will prioritize the most impacted of the 112 affected Texas counties included in the Presidential Declarations for 2016. The residents living in the combined affected counties encompass 76 percent of the state’s population, which totals more than 20 million Texans. “The damage from the 2016 floods in Texas had a compounding effect from those that occurred in 2015,� Bush said. “Many residents were unable to rebuild from the 2015 floods before the rains began again. We must work efficiently and diligently to

turn these funds into effective results,� he added. TRADE GRANT IS AWARDED The Texas Department of Agriculture on Oct. 17 accepted a grant for $800,000 from the State Trade Expansion Program of the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of International Trade. Texas Deputy Agriculture Commissioner Jason Fearneyhough said plans are to use the funding to expand

export-related activities of small businesses in Texas and to increase export dollars earned by those companies. The grant money, Fearneyhough said, will provide training through the University of Texas-San Antonio’s International Trade Center. Stipends will be made available for Texas businesses that request small infusions of funding to support export expansion, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture.

lose his “manhood.� I explained that his dog was not a man and not emotionally attached to his “male anatomy.� The gentleman relaxed at the clinic, the surgery was performed and the dog made a full recovery. What is it about men not wanting to neuter their male dogs? Older dogs, like older men, can develop prostate cancers and infections and neutering is the only way to prevent this. Spaying and neutering will help your pets be healthier and happier. Dr. Oesterling is owner of Heart of the Hills Vet Center, 117 Commerce Ave., Boerne. Visit www. HeartOfTheHillsVet.com.

Put self-worth ahead of doomed relationship Question: Do you have any advice for a single woman who’s in love and romantically involved with a married man? I know the decision to go down this path was foolish, but there’s nothing I want more than to begin a new life with this man. He wants the same, but he’s dragging his feet and seems unable to leave his wife, even though his marriage is a mess. Jim: Your feelings are understandable in light of your eagerness to get started on a new life. You believe you’re in love with this man, and I’d be the last person to discount your emotions. At the same time, I’d encourage you to take a step backward and try to gain some objectivity. It’s possible that your feelings are distorting your viewpoint. Before you do anything else, stop and picture yourself looking into this situation from the outside. Put yourself in the place of your lover’s wife and children. How do you think you’d feel if you were walking in their shoes? I’d offer the strongest caution against pursuing your own happiness at the expense of their home and family. After that, try to see things from your lover’s perspective. What would you do if you were in his position? Why do you think he’s “dragging his feet�? Finally, take an honest, objective look at yourself. What’s motivating you to pursue this relationship so intently in spite of all the obstacles? What deep personal needs are you expecting to satisfy by making a new start with this man? From where I sit, it looks as if this relationship is lacking something in the way of

that it was extremely important for him to look into veterinary care as soon as possible or his pet could become seriously ill . A short time after lunch, the man returned and asked the receptionist if he could speak with me. The gentleman explained he had gone to another veterinary practice where two male veterinarians made the same diagnosis and suggested the pet be neutered. He appreciated my concern and said he felt he owed me an apology. I could not do surgery until I finished with appointments, but he wanted to wait with his dog. Meanwhile, the man was overcome with grief that his dog would

mutuality. In other words, it’s very likely that your lover’s feelings for you aren’t as strong as you suppose. By your own account, he’s proven reluctant to leave his marriage. He’s content to keep you on the sidelines instead of making a clean break. It’s plain that he doesn’t share your sense of urgency and desperation. What do you think that means? Hard as it may be to bend your mind in this direction, you also need to give some serious consideration to the importance of commitments. I’m still a strong believer in the sacredness, inviolability and permanence of the marital relationship. As I see it, the weight a man attaches to the vows he’s made to his wife suggests something about his character. After all, would you really want to take a chance on a man who doesn’t honor his commitments? Wouldn’t you be plagued by fears that he might someday repeat the pattern by breaking his pledge to you? Past behavior is usually the best predictor of future

behavior. This last thought leads to another. How much do you value yourself? How healthy is your sense of personal worth? These questions are well worth asking. If in the end your lover chooses not to leave his wife, you’re going to have to decide who you really are and how you can go on living without him. I’d encourage you to give some honest thought to this. Take some time to revisit your personal values system. Ask yourself a few probing questions about your larger framework and worldview. Do you have any idea where you came from, where you’re going and what your life is all about? Do you sense some kind of deficit in your life? If so, are you aware of anything – something larger than you or your lover – that might be able to fill the gap? That’s a subject we’d love to discuss with you, if you’d be willing to give us a chance. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at (800) A-FAMILY. Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family.

Get ready for a spooktacular Boerne Boo at the library Notes from the Underworld: Guest Columnist Hecate

Constance Keremes

“Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. - William Shakespeare Life is good if you are a witch these days in Boerne. We rule October. Everywhere you look you will find our influence, no nook or cranny untouched by our warty fingertips. From preschool walls plastered with black cat cut-outs to ghosts and ghouls swinging maniacally from eaves and trees, the whole town is looking devilishly dark. Who can resist the frightful fun of Halloween? Certainly not I (cue the drumroll) Hecate, queen of the coven. Traditionally my choice of venue for Halloween has been Transylvania, where I might toast in the holiday with a goblet of blood shared with Dracula. But drafty castles are so yesterday. Boerne is the happening place for Halloween. On Saturday, Oct. 29, from 4 to 7p.m., the Patrick Heath Public Library, in partnership with the Boerne Parks and Recreation Department, will host Boerne Boo. You might recall that last

BOERNE PUBLIC LIBRARY

year the event was cancelled due to a deluge of the 40-days-and-40-nights caliber. I assure you that I had no hand in that soaking – floods are not my style, my preference being fire and brimstone. But I digress. This year’s Boerne Boo promises to be a stupendously shivery soiree featuring all manner of delights for all ages. Stop by the numerous activity stations for balloon sculpting, face painting and arts and crafts. Have a go at the ghoulish games galore, including a witch hat toss and bounce house. Do be sure to come suitably costumed, for there will be a costume contest. Bring your decorated bicycles too and participate in the Boo-Cycle parade and contest. And if all the excitement leaves you ravenous, you can stop by the available food trucks. The day will finish with a fiery flourish when Aloha

Aloha San Antonio fire dancers promise sizzling entertainment at the Boerne Boo on Oct. 29. San Antonio “Hula-Boo” performers take the amphitheater stage for a devilishly daring drum and fire dance. The library’s contributions to Boerne Boo have all been generously funded by the Friends of the Boerne Public Library. Even a selfish old witch such as I must tip her pointy hat to the ever-faithful Friends. And whilst my hat is off, I must tip it to the steadfast partnership of the Boerne Parks and Recreation for all their work in helping to orchestrate the event. And, of course, we both thank all the many commu-

nity groups and organizations for their generous contributions to Boerne Boo. Today, I have no need of eye of newt nor owlet’s wing. My cauldron can stand cold. No potions need be brewed to convince you to attend Boerne Boo, for the astounding variety of features speak for themselves. Climb out of your crypt, crack open your coffin, wing screeching from your belfry. Embrace the magic – the mystery – the mirth of Halloween at Boerne Boo! FIELD DAY FOR FIENDS Speaking of fiendish fun,

we ghouls have had no small giggle in you mortals’ malevolent presidential election. Why, old Beelzebub is beside himself with banshee glee as he watches the satanic shenanigans. Of course, what delights a demon mightily dismays a mortal. Happily for you, the Patrick Public Library Youth Department can help lighten your presidential election load. Stay tuned for a library voting booth at which you can cast a vote for your favorite book character. Harry Potter, Anne of Green Gables and Greg Henley are just a few of the literary legends you will

find listed on our ballot. All the library votes will be tallied after the real presidential election and the winner posted on the Patrick Heath Public Library Children’s Corner Facebook page. ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE! A word from Miss Constance: We are always delighted to welcome families and help you find that perfect book. And remember, too, that outreach visits continue all year long.

Normal first frost date and what’s likely for this year This time of the year as we see the leaves turn colors and with an increased expectation of cooler temperatures ahead many want to know when the first freeze may occur. This is a very important question, and its forecast being accurate is equally important. Weather forecasting is a fun and rewarding profession, but it sure is a humbling one. Yet as the epitome of the joke rolls off a tongue, yes, I still do get paid and not fired for being wrong (humor intended). Wouldn’t you like to be in this profession? I do thank God for the humbling moments, but getting it right is my professional goal. It has been a warm and dry October so far, yet the leaves are beginning to turn color. A weak cold front went through last Thursday, Oct 20, with a little rainfall here and there across the Texas Hill Country.

WEATHER PERMITTING...

Dave Knollhoff Low temperatures got down into the middle to upper 40s with highs in the middle to upper 70s this past weekend. So, your curiosity then might ask, when is the first freeze-frost going to occur this year? Here is my frustrating answer. I don’t know as of writing this column. But…we are getting closer. The normal first freezefrost of the season for Boerne is Nov. 13. Looking back through archived weather data recorded as far back as 1904 for Boerne, the earliest freeze recorded was Oct. 8, 1952 and latest freeze recorded was Dec. 14, 1998.

Statistically 90 percent of the recorded first frosts come before Nov. 30 so there is only a 10 percent chance that we get a first frost after this December begins. Additionally, there is strong evidence from sea surface temperatures and atmospheric conditions across the tropical Pacific Ocean, which strongly influence our seasonal weather conditions, that the La Niña pattern is expected now to be in place by late fall this year and lasting through at least spring. La Niña historically has brought the Texas Hill Country drier and warmer than normal conditions for a sixto eight-month time frame,

and this expected La Niña should not be any different. Now consider the warm soils, a lack of frequent precipitation events over the last month, the developing La Niña, weak cold fronts, the statistics stated above and finally my gut feeling, I would not be surprised to see our first freeze-frost near the middle to end of coming November. But to be overly protective of your outdoor interests and listening to my own warning that not all weather forecasts are accurate – certainly extended forecasts – please stayed tuned to my weekly forecasts in the Boerne Star Friday editions in the Weather Ahead section for the latest

Tinnitus Treatments Can Put the Ringing to Rest Approximately 50 to 60 million U.S. adults report hearing a ringing, hissing, or whistling in one or both ears that comes and goes — a subjective health malady with no surefire cure, referred to as tinnitus. Though tinnitus is fairly common — its prevalence tends to increase with age, peaking among adults in their 60s — as many as 16 million adults state that the ringing is “frequent,� and many younger adults are now facing debilitating tinnitus with no idea where it may have come from. While research has shown that four in five individuals with tinnitus have some degree of hearing loss, new neuroscience is suggesting that the cause may literally be in an individual’s head; understanding how the brains of people with tinnitus are different from those without is a crucial factor in creating new treatment in the future. But for now, the most common tinnitus triggers are exposure to loud noise that results in hearing loss, a head or neck injury, and jaw dysfunction. So how do treatment methods improve tinnitus symptoms? Weekly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions promote relaxation techniques that restructure the way patients think about and respond to tinnitus, and it can result in sounds that are significantly less bothersome. Tinnitus retraining therapy can help habituate the auditory system to tinnitus signals through a combination of counseling and sound therapy. Another common treatment is masking, which uses a device that generates low-level noise, and using environmental sounds that match the pitch and volume of the tinnitus. There are many other treatment methods, and it’s important for you to know that you can get the help you need. Visit your local audiology practice for more details and to discuss solutions that have worked for many — and can work for you.

Getting Ready for Cooler Weather Every day in the garden is a good day. We learn something new, make new friends, and help somebody out while we’re at it. The mission garden was established to help the patients (particularly those with diabetes) at Hill Country Mission for Health improve their nutrition and lifestyles through diet and exercise. They help harvest and weed, learning how to grow some of their own healthy food. Our fall garden is well underway with tomatoes just about ready to pick. The watermelon and pumpkins are still producing and the okra is going strong. We have planted broccoli and other brassicas for the cooler weather coming. Our regular Volunteer Workdays are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every Third Saturday of the month. While the weather is warm, we will work from 8:00 to 11:00. Groups may schedule other days and times as convenient. Come by 122 Commerce Street or call 830-249-0130 for more information. Co-managers are Judy Beauford and Shirley Smith.

ASK THE Y Can one particular form of cardio shrink my thighs more than another? NOPE! All forms of cardio are created equal when it comes to working the thighs, glutes or any other body part. Some people think that they can reduce fat on specific areas of their body if a certain cardio machine works the thighs. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. You cannot dictate where your body will take fat from. I have joked with several clients and my group fitness classes at the Y about carrying my ‘mom’ on my left thigh and my ‘grandmother’ on my right thigh. “Gotta love genes.� I’ve also joked that I have a five-year “thigh/glute program� and I’m in year eight waiting for the results! When energy demands

increase, your body depletes stored fat from all over your body, not from a specific spot. Thus, burning fat from the thighs is actually burning fat from your shoulders, upper back, calves and the rest of your body too. It would be great if we could tell our bodies to shrink certain areas and not others. There’s no such thing as spot training. Training your legs is one of the best ways to promote overall fat loss because your leg muscles are the biggest in your body. The larger the muscle, the more calories burned. Shine on! -Nicole Richard, CI-CPT, AFAA GX, PT Coordinator

Ducks hold on to defeat Greyhounds, 15-7 BY KERRY BARBOZA

■ Sports Editor

Taylor won Friday’s defensive struggle over the Boerne High football team to hand the Greyhounds their second straight district loss. In their previous contest, the Hounds fell to Canyon Lake and last Friday, BHS came up short against the Ducks. The Ducks plucked the Hounds on Friday, 15-7, and leaves Boerne High at 1-2 in district and 5-4 overall. BHS has a short week and plays at Austin Eastside Memorial on Thursday to close out the regular season. After that, they enter their bye week. Greyhounds coach Mike Dormady said they’ve got to fix a few things going forward. “We didn’t play our best football (Friday) and we didn’t play our best football

(the previous) week so as coaches we have to figure out how we’re going to play our best football moving down the stretch,” he said. “We haven’t been firing on all cylinders for a couple of weeks so we’re just not on the same page and we’ll go back and get that fixed. We have to make sure moving forward that we’re prepared for Eastside Memorial and beyond.” The Hounds did score first in Friday’s game and held the lead through halftime, but the Ducks caught them in the third quarter and never trailed after that. Boerne’s only score of the game was set up by a Clancy Haas interception and return of nearly 50 yards to give the Hounds great field position at the Taylor 23 halfway through the second quarter.

our guys did a good job of sticking with it and not panicking,” he said. “Defensively Kerrville played tremendous and offensively they got everybody healthy who they’re getting back so they were only missing one kid.” During most of the second quarter it remained a 0-0 ball game until the Chargers scored right before the half. Davis Brin ran it in from the 8 and Hunter Wilson kicked the extra point and Champion was on the board with a 7-0 lead with 1:07 left until halftime. In the second half, the Chargers pulled away with three third-quarter touchdowns. After getting the ball to the one-yard line on one of their drives, they brought in the Power-I package and handed it to Taylor Posey who scored to make it 14-0 with 5:49 left in the quarter.

Hounds advance to regionals

Chargers eliminated at Area tourney

The BHS tennis team advanced to the regional tournament scheduled for this week in S.A. after their performance at last week’s Area tourney. Boerne High won both its matches at Area, along with Fredericksburg, but the two teams decided not to play each other in the finals. The top two advance from Area and since BHS and Fred had already met in district, they decided to forego playing at Area since they’ll likely meet again at regionals and will use district results for seeding. BHS defeated Fred in their district match. At Area, Boerne High won both its matches by shutting out their opponents. BHS defeated Gonzales, 10-0, and then whipped Hondo, 10-0.

The Boerne Champion tennis team played in the Area tournament last week and posted a 1-1 record at the event held in Austin and Dripping Springs. The Chargers’ season comes to an end after they were eliminated in the semifinals of Area while playing Alamo Heights. Champion ends the year at 13-6 overall and was 5-2 in district. At Area, the Chargers opened the tourney against Austin LBJ and won that match, 10-5. From there, they advanced to play the Mules and were defeated by AH, 10-1. The Mules and Dripping Springs, both from District 26-5A, advance to regionals scheduled for this weekend at the Blossom tennis courts with a state berth on the line. Prior to the Area tourna-

Champion defeated the Lady Antlers in four sets, 25-19, 25-14, 12-25, 25-13 and is now 10-3 in district (26-13 overall). The Lady Chargers host Seguin Tuesday to close out the regular season with second place on the line. The Lady Matadors are right

behind Champion in the standings at 9-4 so a Seguin win would tie the two at 10-4. If the Chargers win they take second outright at 11-3. Alamo Heights is also in the hunt for second. The Mules lost to district champ Dripping Springs Friday and have four losses, but a win by the Mules Tuesday and a Champion loss to Seguin would leave the Chargers, Matadors and the Mules all

at 10-4. A Champion win Tuesday takes care of all of it and gives the Chargers second place outright. Sierra Wood led Champion with 17 kills Friday, Riley Cantrell added 10 kills, Kamryn Barkley totaled 33 assists and 2 aces, Georgia Inman served well and recorded 4 aces, Claudia Camarillo finished with 17 digs, Cassie Herrera added 9 digs, while Cantrell and Wood both had one block apiece.

GAME FROM PAGE 9 On Kerrville’s next drive, Posey came up with a fumble recovery to give the Chargers great field position. Less than two minutes later, Chayce Bolli caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Brin and it was 21-0. Bolli also had a big play on Champion’s next drive and went for 83 yards on a pass from Brin to set up one more score. From there, Ethan Dean capped the 21-point third quarter with a three-yard sprint into the end zone and the Chargers had built a 28-0 lead. Kaiser said they didn’t really make too many adjustments, they just stuck with the game plan. “We just settled in a little bit, they played everybody in the box and tried to man to us up,” he said. “We were missing down the field at first but we started hitting those in the second half. Our guys are hard to man up for a full game.”

BISD FROM PAGE 9 the hall of honor. Sultenfuss also mentioned that “it’s highly likely that his accomplishments may never be equaled.” In typical Fulkerson fashion, the coach deflected any credit. “None of this happens in a vacuum,” he said. “I owe a lot to a lot of people, there are a million pieces to all this.” Fulkerson ended his acceptance speech on a short and simple note. “This is neat,” he said, “thanks a lot.” The 2003 and 2004 Boerne High boys cross country teams won back-to-back 4A state championships. The ’03 team secured the first team title won in BISD history and the ’04 group was the first to repeat and defend a state championship. Erik Thormaehlen spoke on behalf of the 2003 boys teams. Thormaehlen has also won gold as a cross country coach and is now a principle in West Texas. “It’s an honor to be here

meet Tuesday to figure that one out, while Hondo ends district at 0-8 and in fifth. Boerne will get either Navarro (7-0) or La Vernia (6-1) to open the playoffs. Those two schools meet Tuesday to decide the district winner and the Lady Hounds will face the district

champ starting next week. On Friday, Emily Smith tallied 11 kills, 16 digs, 2.5 blocks and 5 assists, Brooke Turner finished with 13 assists and 4 aces, Sarah Story dropped in 6 aces, Abby Isenhart recorded 9 digs and Paige Howell blocked 1.5 shots.

Late in the fourth, Tyler Bily capped the Champion scoring on a one-yard plunge with 1:00 left in the contest to give the Chargers a 35-0 advantage after the Wilson kick. Champion’s defense pitched its second shutout in district play (the other came against Medina Valley) and came up with interceptions from Austin Hill and Jensen Fry and a fumble recovery from Posey, while Kaden Beavers led the team in tackles with 10 and also caused a fumble. “Our defense was tremendous, we gave up a total of just 127 yards and six first downs,” Kaiser said. Brin finished with 19 completions on 32 attempts and one touchdown, Ethan Fitzgerald ran twice, Brin had six carries for 43 yards and a score, Posey had a one-yard TD run, Bily ran seven times for 18 yards and a score and Ethan Dean was the workhorse with 26 totes for 96 yards and a score. Bolli caught five passes for 121 and a touchdown, Alec Yates made 3 catches for 92 yards, while Fitzgerald, Dean

and Zach Duncan all made one catch, Hayden McMurrey hauled in six passes for 28 yards and Jake Williams reeled in two catches for 21 yards.

to celebrate something that happened years ago, I’m proud to be a part of it,” he said. “The things we learned went beyond running and medals and rings, it goes into life.” Running on the 2003 team included David Fuentes, Jacob Wells, Joel Benavides, Evan Tingle, Erik Thormaehlen, Ryan Mack and Andrew Cashion, while Taylor Hansen also contributed to the team’s success that year. Fuentes and Benavides were the only two returners from the 2003 teams that ran on the 2004 squad. Fuentes spoke on behalf of the ’04 team. “We were good and we knew it, but we were humble,” he said. “We had a mission and we achieved our goal.” Included on the 2004 squad was Fuentes, Benavides, David Wilson, Danny Velo, Lorin Wilson, Austin McClain and Chass Armstrong. The 2005 BHS girls cross country squad made BISD history by having the highest finish by a girls running team at state. The Lady Hounds were second that year and

just missed out on a state title. Included on the ’05 girls team was Emily Jones, Anne Blalock, Melissa Jones, Hannah McCord, Robyn Artale, Brooke Martin and Stephanie Dillard. Girls cross country coach Erin Bradley spoke on behalf of the squad. She said seeing the boys do so well motivated the girls to medal at state. “This group of girls turned the program around, they changed the culture,” she said. “They weren’t just happy to be at state, after watching the boys, they said ‘we can do this too.’” BISD AD Stan Leech introduced Courtney Darter Bruce who was the 1998 state champion in the 800meter race. Leech noted that Darter Bruce had quite a high school career and not just on the track. “If I read all her accomplishments it would take too long,” he said. Darter Bruce said it’s quite an honor to be inducted in the hall of honor. “It humbled me and touched me that I would be selected for something like this,” she said.

NOTES: During Friday’s game, a Kerrville Tivy player, Ruben Exum, suffered a neck injury and was placed on a board and transported to the hospital. Kaiser said he heard from the Kerrville coaching staff on Saturday and they told him that Exum was fine. “I know a lot of our parents were concerned and were asking, but he was released Friday night,” Kaiser said. “He had movement (on the field), but they wanted to be sure and checked him out at the hospital and everything was okay.” … Charger punter Cade Pollard continues to boom his punts and flip the field on the opposing teams. He had five punts and averaged nearly 50 yards per punt in Friday’s game. … Taylor Posey now has three rushes this year and scored three touchdowns out of the Power I or Maryland I formation.

Geneva volleyball to break 3rd-place tie Wednesday Perez surpasses 2,000 kill mark for her high school career The Geneva School of Boerne volleyball team closed out the regular season Thursday night with a dominant victory over Austin San Juan Diego in Boerne. Geneva won Thursday’s match, 25-4, 25-7, 25-8 and ends the regular season with a record of 23-20. The Eagles are 9-5 in district and tied for third with Texas School for the Deaf. Since the two schools split their two district matches this year and neither team has the head-to-head advantage, they’ll meet Wednesday to break the tie at San Marcos Academy at 6:30 p.m.

In Thursday’s match, Julie Perez reached a milestone and finished with 15 kills to give her 2,007 for her high school career. Perez also had 9 digs and 5 aces, Holly Higgins and Skylar Tippetts both tallied 6 kills and 6 aces, while Higgins added 4 aces. Braden Hall had 19 assists, Aimee Metzger totaled 10 assists and 5 aces, Kori Stringer recorded 10 digs, while Amy Ambelang and Hannah Styles both dropped in 2 aces for the Eagles who served up 24 aces in the match.

Eagles stay undefeated in district play Geneva School of Boerne had little trouble with San Marcos Baptist Academy Saturday when the Eagles football team hosted the Bears at BISD Stadium. Geneva scored doubledigit points in the first three quarters on their way to a 41-3 victory in their final home game of the season. The Eagles move to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in district. Geneva is at Hallettsville Sacred Heart Saturday this weekend. Geneva scored 14 in the first, 13 in the second and 14 more in the third before

taking their foot off the gas pedal in the fourth. Ethan Houser put the Eagles on the board first with a 22-yard touchdown pass from Will Langenbahn for the 7-0 lead in the first. SMBA answered with a 29-yard field goal to make it 7-3, but the Eagles ended the quarter with a 12-yard TD catch by John-Michael Kight on a Langenbahn pass for the 14-3 edge. The Eagles were just getting warmed up, while the Bears didn’t score in the final three quarters. In the second, Sam Ledoux scored

on a short run and then Tyler Navarro hauled in a 54-yard TD pass from Langenbahn to give Geneva a 27-3 lead at the half after the Eagles went 1 for 2 on extra points in the period. Once in the third, Kight caught another 12-yard touchdown pass from Langenbahn and the Sutton Houser kick made it 34-3. Later in the stanza, Joshua Nate capped the scoring with a 2-yard touchdown run for the 41-3 advantage which is where it stayed until the end to give the Eagles the win.

Comfort Bobcats drop game to Florence, 29-14 Comfort High had a pretty good second quarter Friday night when they visited Florence. The Bobcats tallied 14 points, but those would be their only points of the game. Florence was a bit more consistent and put points on the board in three of the four quarters and finished Friday’s district contest with a 29-14 victory over the Cats. Comfort drops to 1-2 in district and 4-4 overall. They host Blanco Friday at Bobcat Stadium as they continue district action.

BHS FROM PAGE 9 Five plays later, Brooks Klutts hit Douglas Hodo on a 10-yard scoring strike and BHS broke open the 0-0 game for the 7-0 lead after the Wil Herbst PAT. But Taylor answered on its next possession after the Ducks moved the ball 56 yards on seven plays in just 1:26. Taylor capped the drive with a six-yard touchdown run, but missed the extra point and Boerne stayed ahead, 7-6. The Ducks missed a field goal right before the half to give BHS a one-point edge at the break, but Taylor connected on a field goal early

RACE FROM PAGE 9 varsity races at last Thursday’s 26-5A meet. Both Champion squads will race again at the Region IV-5A meet this Saturday in Corpus Christi with the top four teams heading to state. The Champion boys won the boys district title, while the girls came in second by just a point. Varsity Boys Champion wrapped up the 26-5A title with 55 points to edge Dripping Springs who came in second with 67 points. Kerrville Tivy (78), Alamo Heights (109), Lockhart (122), Medina Valley (124), Seguin (167) and Marble Falls (168) rounded out the district.

Both Comfort and Florence were locked into a 0-0 game in the first quarter, but the Wolves got on the board first with an 8-yard run early in the second period for a 7-0 lead. Comfort was able to answer with two Jason Faulkner touchdown runs later in the stanza. Faulkner busted loose on a 66-yard scamper to tie it at 7-7 with 5:00 remaining until halftime after the Taylor Jaimes extra point. Faulkner scored again right before halftime on a 7-yard run and the Cats held

their first lead of the game at 14-7 with 34 ticks on the clock until intermission. Faulkner finsihed with 208 rushing yards on 27 totes in the game. But the second half belonged to Florence. The Wolves tallied 14 points in the third, both on rushing touchdowns, to end the period ahead, 22-14. The Cats were only down by eight at that point, but the Wolves sealed the deal with a 41-yard touchdown run late in the fourth to make it a 29-14 game and give Florence the win.

in the third to pull ahead 7-9. The field goal was set up by one of six Boerne turnovers – five interceptions and one fumble – in the game. Dormady said it’s hard to beat bad teams with that many turnovers, much less a good team like Taylor. “That’s six possessions you don’t have, he said. “You’re typically going to get 10 to 12 possessions a game so you have to maximize them when you have the ball.” Taylor’s next possession after their field goal ended with a touchdown drive. Andre Jones busted loose on a 64-yard TD reception down the Ducks’ sideline and Taylor pulled ahead, 7-15, but they did miss the

extra point for the second time in the game. The Ducks also botched two field goal attempts in the contest, but it helped the Hounds because it kept it an 8-point – or one possession – game. Boerne’s next two drives ended with interceptions and then they had to punt on the possession after that. Taylor attempted a field goal with less than five minutes remaining in the game, but had a bad snap and didn’t get the kick off so the Hounds still had a chance to tie. They took over at their own 21 with 4:23 left in the contest and moved the ball to the Taylor 31, but an interception killed the drive and allowed Taylor to run out the clock.

Josh Rodriguez won the individual district title for the Chargers after he was first with a time of 17:26.90, while Mason Lischka and Tyler Childs finished 5th and 6th with times of 17:43.74 and 17:44.75. Michael Montez came in 16th in 18:23.36, Connor Blake placed 27th in 18:46.77 and Varon Jones was 42nd in a time of 19:34.72. Varsity Girls Champion had the first two girls across the finish line in the varsity race, but Marble Falls was able to edge them by a point to take the team title, 58 points to 59 for the Lady Chargers. Charger Anna Norman won the district title and Kelsie Vicnair was right behind her in second with times of 20:47.99 and 20:49.99,

while Erin Briley placed 10th in 21:12.74, Reese Burkey ran a 22:21.99 for 21st and Hadley Wilfong posted a 22:34.49 for 25th. Also, Ashlynn Fulgham was 33rd in 23:19.19 and Alexia Engel took 36th in 23:25.69. The rest of the district included Dripping Springs (68) in third, Kerrville Tivy (70), Alamo Heights (129), Seguin (168), Medina Valley (181) and Lockhart (199). The top three teams head to regionals. JV The JV boys also had the individual district champ after Josiah Gonzalez took the title with a 19:05.24 for the Chargers who finished third as a team, while the Chargers JV girls were fourth and had their top finisher place eighth.

Increasing fiber intake by adding a serving of fruit or vegetables to two meals a day, reducing your sodium intake, drinking adequate amounts of water every day, and gradually increasing how much you exercise to 30 minutes a day 5 days

important to use a product that is free of crystals and is professional grade like our CoQMax Crystal Free formula. Fish oils with omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce triglycerides and may also improve blood pressure, and decrease inflammation that leads to damaged blood vessels. The American Heart Association recommends adults have at least two 3.5 ounce servings of fatty fish (i.e. trout, salmon, and tuna) weekly.

Fiber. What is it? Why do we need it, how much do we need and how do we get more? Fiber is the “bulky” part of plant material that is not digested or absorbed as it moves through your gastrointestinal tract(GI). Fiber performs a variety of functions including aiding in the passage of material through your GI tract, reducing cholesterol, blood sugar levels and aids in the maintenance of healthy weight. There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and forms a gel-like material. Soluble fibers are found in foods like oats, beans, apples and psyllium; this type of fiber can help to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels as well as facilitate the passage of stool. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and moves through the GI tract undigested. Insoluble fiber’s major purpose is to move throughout the GI tract and stimulate the passage of stool. Foods that list the phrase “whole wheat/whole grain” along with vegetables like green beans, spinach, kale and cauliflower contain insoluble fibers. Because insoluble fibers move through the GI tract relatively unchanged, they don’t tend to cause abdominal bloating, gas or cramping as high amounts of insoluble fibers can cause.

Choose my plate, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture, provides Americans with dietary guidelines. Americans, on average, consume about 15 grams total of fiber which is about half the total daily 30 grams of fiber recommended for a healthy diet. So now we know what fiber is and how much we need. Now, how do we get there? The obvious answer to increasing your fiber intake, is to increase the amount of fiber, vegetables and whole grain foods. However, because it takes time for the bacteria in your GI tract to adjust to increasing amounts of fiber, it is best to do it slowly in 5 grams increments each week. As mentioned above, soluble fibers can cause some bloating, cramping and gas production that may take your body some time to adjust to. It is important to eat a variety of foods that contain both types of fiber. Dr. Jeff Bullock, is a local Gastroenterologist. When asked about fiber he said, “In general, I recommend that all of my patients take a fiber supplement or increase their dietary fiber intake. Virtually, no one in this country consumes enough fiber in the course of our daily lifestyles. Fiber is used to treat certain conditions such as constipation, diverticulosis, and hemorrhoids, but more importantly, it can also prevent those diseases.”

you aren’t able to get enough omega-3 fatty acids from your diet supplementing with a professional grade product such as our OmegaPure products can be beneficial on your journey toward improved heart function and overall health. Or you could try Xymogen’s new MonoPure product which is three times more absorbable so you can take fewer softgels. If you eat a diet high in meat and low in fruits and veggies you may have high homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood which at high levels may lead to increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

This also means your body is probably depleted in several B vitamins which it uses in several chemical pathways to keep your body functioning optimally. Methyl Protect is a Xymogen product that may help maintain healthy homocysteine levels and give your body the B vitamins it needs to keep your heart healthy and happy. Finally the molecule nitric oxide is a molecule produced by our bodies. It is essential for normal cell function, plays an important role in keeping our blood vessels pliable, may improve blood pressure, circulation, and inhibit formation of

arterial plaques. Unfortunately as we age there is a progressive decrease in how much nitric oxide we produce. Supplementing with a product like Neo40 may help restore healthy levels of this essential molecule. In addition to the potential of positive effects on our cardiovascular system nitric oxide may also improve immune function, brain health, metabolism, nutrient absorption and sexual health. If you have any questions about the products mentioned above please stop by and talk to your Annie’s pharmacist. We look forward to helping you on your journey to a healthier you.

You Can Do THAT When dietary intake falls short, there are over-the-counter supplements that can help fill the gap. Psyllium Husk (Metamucil) is a soluble fiber that aids in digestion, lower blood glucose/cholesterol levels and maintaining a healthy weight. While Psyllium Husk fibers offer a variety of benefits, because it is partially digested, it can cause cramping, bloating and gas. Methycellulose (Citrucel) is a non-soluble fiber that aids in digestion or the passage of stool. Commonly, this is used as a primary treatment for constipation.

COMFORT FROM PAGE 1 We are a non-regulatory agency; our relationship with school districts is collaborative and supportive. Our purpose is to aid teachers and administrators in their role as educators of our children. We serve as a liaison between the Texas Education Agency and the local school districts and the schools they serve by disseminating information, conducting training and consultation for both federal and state programs.� Vann revealed the project consists of a steering committee as well as an Azction planning committee that incorporates six different “strands� which will be used as guide points for each district priority. Vann recognized “all school districts reach a point where they must reinvigorate their practices and create new systems, or face decline. The strategic planning process galvanizes the community around a common purpose, bringing new life to the District.� Individuals nominated for the steering and action planning committees have been given notice of the first meeting with the steering committee meeting Nov. 1 and the action planning committee convening Nov. 10.

Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Policy Service provided an update addressing recent legislation requiring that the installation of cameras in full-time special education classrooms if requested by a parent, staff member, board member or administrator. The policy update provided a guide for the request process, viewing rights, and storage. At this time CISD has not received any request for cameras to be placed in a special education classroom; however, the district’s elementary school has an existing camera system in the Life Skills classroom.

BUS CAMERAS Technicians are in the process of installing a state of the art, digital camera system on all buses. There have been no cameras on the CISD buses for several years with the exception of three primary route buses. The new system going into place records image, sound and comes equipped with infrared technology allowing the cameras to record in the dark. Letters were mailed home to the district’s 654 families explaining the guidelines for use of the bus cameras and will be posted on the district website as well.

OTHER NEWS The board was provided on overview of the Discovery Education program and how it can be used by teachers, students and parents. Discovery Education is an online resource that provides quality video clips designed for classroom use with a focus on science, math, language arts and social studies. The program also has resources for fine arts, music, physical education, health and agriculture. The link to the program is available on the CISD website under links on the “Employee Resource�

If a voter has continued access to their acceptable form of photo ID, but, for example, forgets to bring their acceptable form of approved photo ID to the polling place and/or left it, for example, at home or in their car, the voter still possesses the acceptable photo ID and must use it to vote. If a voter does not possess one of the seven forms of approved photo ID and cannot reasonably obtain one, the voter may vote by (1)

Supporting documentation can be a valid voter registration certificate, certified birth certificate (must be an original), a copy or original of one of the following: current utility bill, bank statement, government check, or paycheck, or other government document that shows the name and an address of the voter, although a government document which includes a photo must be original and cannot be a copy. Examples of government documents include, but are not limited to: driver’s licenses from other states, ID cards issued by a federally recognized Native American tribe (if the ID card contains an address), DPS Receipts (without a photo), expired voter registration certificates, expired Texas DPS-issued driver licenses or personal ID cards (over four years). If a voter meets these requirements and is otherwise eligible to vote, the voter will be able to cast a regular ballot in the election.

Director of Curriculum and Instruction Mollye Williams presented the annual State Accountability System report with CISD campuses meeting standard.

Vann shared several documents outlining the District’s hiring process and provided a report on the ApplicTac system and job fairs. The board approved the Student Health Advisory Committee members for the 2016-17 school year. Members include CISD staff, district parents, and community leaders. CISD trustees Ron Haffner and Zach Sweeney were also appointed to serve on the Audit Review Committee. The board and Vann met in closed session to participate in the Quarterly Formative Evaluation for Vann. The next board meeting is scheduled for Nov. 14.

Also, voters who (1) have a consistent religious objection to being photographed or (2) do not present one of the seven forms of approved photo ID because of certain natural disasters as declared by the President of the United States or the Texas Governor, may apply for a temporary exemption to showing approved photo ID at the polls. As a reminder, almost all voters who vote by mail will not need to show ID. Those voters 65 and older and those with a disability qualify to vote by mail. “I encourage residents of Kendall County to not only decide which candidates to support this fall but to also make sure they are prepared for the polls,� Decker said. “Vote Texas is your trusted official resource from the Texas Secretary of State.� ABOUT VOTE TEXAS Vote Texas is the state’s campaign to educate Texans and prepare voters with all the information they need to cast a ballot.

HOGS FROM PAGE 1 per litter; each one of those piglets reaches breeding age by 6-8 months old. As de Soto traveled, he left some pigs behind; the discarded swine ultimately evolved into wild hogs. Texas claims half of the country’s wild hog population, totaling six to eight million in the Lone Star State alone. Not a dumb animal, Ortiz said he likens the animals’ intelligence to a dolphin or chimpanzee, which makes it difficult to trap and thin their numbers. “They talk to each other,�

Ortiz said, who has filmed groups of pigs swimming across water channels and in lakes. As smart as a wild hog may be, they are equally voracious. Water fowl, livestock, deer, wild turkey, even domestic pets are all fair game. “They’ll eat just about anything,� Ortiz said. The largest wild hog Ortiz said he caught in San Antonio weighed in at 333 pounds. In another part of Texas, he helped trap a 450-pound hog, which was primarily feeding off of corn and protein from a deer feeder. Hogs also eat acorns. “They have to consume a tremendous amount of

calories to get up to and maintain that weight,� Ortiz said, adding that once a hog passes 15 pounds, it has no natural predators. Though no significant damage has been reported in Fair Oaks Ranch or surrounding areas, Ortiz said it is better to stay ahead of the wanderers before they establish themselves. Homeowners in other areas have reported damage to sprinkler systems, landscaping and cars. Once they set up, the damage is done and trappers are behind the eight-ball. “Here we have an opportunity to try to stop them before they come,� Ortiz said.
