DeLay: Public schools, elected officials must promote Christianity By Sean Batura Staff Writer

sean.batura@dailytimes.com A former Texas congressman exonerated last fall of a felony money laundering charge was the guest of honor at a local Republican club fundraiser Thursday evening in Kerrville. About 130 people attended the Republican Women of Kerr County’s dinner at the Y.O. Ranch Hotel & Conference Center, netting the organization an estimated $10,000 to support charitable and conservative causes. The crowd was there to hear former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay speak about his decades as an elected official, his views on politics and religion and his legal battles over the years. Within a few minutes of beginning his talk, DeLay lashed out at the Travis County jurors who, in 2010, convicted him of money laundering and conspiracy to DeLay commit money laundering. He noted the Travis County District Attorney’s office went through six grand juries before and indictment could stick, and he said the whole thing was politically motivated. “There’s nobody in Travis County but wacko, leftist, pinko — the foreman of my jury was a Greenpeace activist, and it went downhill from there,” DeLay said. “So, of course, I was found guilty, but thankfully, saner heads prevailed, and this last October, I was totally exonerated. But all of that took almost 20 years and over $12 million in legal fees.” Last October, a panel of judges with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals upheld a lower court’s acquittal of the money laundering and conspiracy charges, holding that the state had failed to prove both that DeLay intended to violate the Texas Election Code and that the code had been violated. DeLay told the crowd that his faith in God helped him through his recent travails, and much of his talk included references to Christianity. He told the story of how he “came to Christ” after being elected to Congress. Before this spiritual transformation, DeLay was a state legislator out of Fort Bend County. See DeLay, page 10A

Guadalupe Street residents get city requests for river trail easements Staff Writer

caitlin.clark@dailytimes.com As construction continues on the city’s river trail project, a new group of residents have been asked to grant easements to build a portion of the path through their properties. Residents of homes along Guadalupe Street received certified packets from the city Monday making them offers for easements through their properties for the river trail. If the residents do not accept the offer or price negotiations fall through, the city could exercise eminent domain and enter into condemnation proceedings. At least one property owner declined to be interviewed for this story on the advice of an attorney. Councilman Carson Conklin said some of the Guadalupe Street residents have already accepted easement offers. The city has not had to go into any eminent domain processes with any of those residents at this time, Conklin said, and he “would hope not to.” See Trail, page 10A

Leisurely visit turns to horror TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Around lunchtime, the crackle of gunfire broke the leisurely calm of a visit to one of Tunisia’s best-known museums: At least two attackers went on a rampage targeting tourists. By the end, after police traded fire with the gunmen and special forces barreled in, the duo and 21 others were dead. Tunisia’s deadliest terror attack in more than a decade jolted locals out of their daily routines and took the cherished lives of visitors to this democracy-minded North African country of 11 million, according to Associated Press interviews with witnesses, victims and a police official. Wednesday’s attack at Tunis’ National Bardo Museum, claimed by the Islamic State group that has sought to spread its bloodthirsty influence beyond its base in Syria and Iraq, drew immediate condemnation from many world leaders and promises from Tunisian officials and citizens that they won’t bow to terror. Miami resident Giovana Gonzalez had just finished a brief bathroom break at the end of a museum tour when attackers “started shooting everybody.” “Everyone ran in different directions,” Gonzalez told reporters after disembarking from her cruise ship Friday in Barcelona. Gonzalez, 46, and her husband were on a cruise to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. For Mohamed Ali, an unemployed 42-year-old father of four who lives in the Bardo district, the episode upended a family stroll to the zoo. Looking in through a high fence

WASHINGTON (AP) — In the midst of an unexpected break in Iranian nuclear talks, President Barack Obama is calling for the return of Americans held in Iran. In a message commemorating the Persian New Year, Obama says it’s a time for families to be reunited. He says Iran should immediately release U.S. prisoners Saeed Abedini of Boise, Idaho; Amir Hekmati of Flint, Michigan; and Jason Rezaian of Marin County, California. Obama also says Iran should help find Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent who went missing eight years ago from the Iranian resort of Kish Island.

Snoop Dogg says he’s developing HBO series

1556: Thomas Cranmer, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, was burned at the

AUSTIN (AP) — Snoop Dogg has cleaned up his image from gangster rapper to multi-format entertainer, but he’s looking to the past in a new series he’s developing for HBO. Snoop announced Friday — when he was giving the keynote address at South by Southwest — that he’s working with Allen Hughes on the show about 1980s Los Angeles. Snoop, a former gangster rapper, was born in Long Beach, California. Hughes’ credits include “Dead Presidents,”‘’Menace II Society” and “The Book of Eli.” “HBO is the number one network in the world as far as developing and having these types of shows come to life,” he said.“This is a dream come true to be able to tell a story that’s going to be told the right way on the right network.” In a wide-ranging interview Friday with his manager Ted Chung in Austin, Texas, 43-year-old Snoop discussed topics from getting high with Willie Nelson to meeting Dr. Dre.

1804: The French civil code, or the “Code Napoleon” as it was later called, was adopted. 1925: Tennessee Gov. Austin Peay signed the Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of the Theory of Evolution in public schools. (Tennessee repealed the law in 1967.) 1945: During World War II, Allied bombers began four days of raids over Germany. 1963: The Alcatraz federal prison island in San Francisco Bay was emptied of its last inmates and closed at the order of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. 1972: the Supreme Court, in Dunn v. Blumstein, ruled that states may not require at least a year’s residency for voting eligibility. Ten years ago: A high school student on the Red Lake Indian reservation in

Minnesota killed five schoolmates, a teacher and an unarmed guard before taking his own life; Jeff Weise (wees) had earlier killed his grandfather and his grandfather’s companion. Armed with a new law rushed through Congress and signed by President George W. Bush, the attorney for Terri Schiavo’s parents pleaded with a judge to order the brain-damaged woman’s feeding tube re-inserted. (The judge ended up refusing.) Ailing Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist returned to the Supreme Court bench to hear arguments despite his thyroid cancer. Cabaret singer Bobby Short died in New York City at age 80. Character actor Barney Martin, perhaps best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld’s father, died in Studio City, California, at age 82.

PORT GIBSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi sheriff said Friday that a black man found hanging from a tree did not appear to have stepped off of anything before he died. Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas Sr. told The Associated Press on Friday that the body was found Thursday hanging by a bed sheet from a tree limb about 12 feet high, and that his feet were dangling about two feet off the ground. The hands on the body were not bound, he said. The results of an autopsy by the Mississippi Crime Lab to determine whether the death was homicide or suicide could take days, Lucas said. The hanging is being investigated by the FBI, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and the United States Attorney’s office as well as the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A key lawmaker raised questions about air travel security after a convicted felon and former member of a domestic terrorist organization was able to use an expedited airport security line. Rep. Bennie Thompson, the senior Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said the disclosure of June 29, 2014 incident highlights shortcomings in how the Transportation Security Administration identifies low-risk passengers as well as the need for Congress to respond. The Homeland Security Department’s inspector general announced Thursday that a felon convicted of murder and explosives-related offenses was allowed to pass through the TSA’s PreCheck security lane designed for passengers who are considered a low security risk.

Obituaries | Weekend, March 21-22, 2015 Helen Marie (Crockett) Gray Services Monday KERRVILLE — Helen Marie (Crockett) Gray, 74, of Kerrville, Texas, passed from this life to spend an eternity with her Lord on Thursday, March 19, 2015, at her residence. She was born on June 24, 1940, in Harlingen, Texas, to Chester C. and Alvada (Sherrer) Crockett. Helen was married to the love of her life, Duane Gray, on Oct. 10, 1970, in Indio, California. Above all else, she loved God and her family. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1988, which gave her a unique opportunity to reach out to others in ways most never would have. After moving, she and Duane started an MS support group in Santa Fe, New Mexico, that lasted more than 17 years. There were no other support groups for more than 100 miles, so it became a success very quickly. She continued to reach out to others through a monthly newsletter concerning MS that reached more than 200 people. Helen never sat around feeling sorry for herself, as she used the disease to help others and truly was an inspiration to many. She was a member of First United Methodist Church, Kerrville, Texas. She will be dearly missed by her husband, family and friends alike. Preceding her in death were her parents; and her son, Michael Gray, who passed on Feb. 4, 2014. Those left to honor and cherish her memory are her husband, Duane Gray; their four children, Beth (Clay) Beasley, Rhonda (Roger) Auldridge and Jeff (Julie) Gray; six grandchildren, Jason (Wanda) Robinson, Brandon Robinson,

Shirley Jean Cunningham No services planned Jessie Gray, Shawna (Corey) Lucero and Marie and Kevin Gray; four great-grandchildren; along with a host of many loving friends and neighbors. A celebration of life will be at 10 a.m. Monday, March 23, 2015, in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church, 321 Thompson Drive, Kerrville, officiated by the Rev. Donna Magee. In lieu of floral arrangements, the family desires that memorial contributions be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The family invites you to leave a message or memory at www. kerrvillefuneralhometx.com by selecting Obituaries. Select “Sign Guestbook” at the top right of the individual memorial.

Neighbors are a great institution, and few people would care to get along without them. Nobody wants neighbors who are too familiar, but everyone wants them friendly enough so an egg or a cup of sugar can be borrowed (or in our occasion, a bale of hay) when the occasion demands. If you are in want, or in trouble, you will usually find your neighbors right at your door and ready to lend a helping hand. How they find out just what you need is often a mystery. But what neighbors know about neighbors would fill a book! You may live beside them for years and view them as nothing more than residents of your town. But let trouble come into your home then you will see what fine neighbors they are . . . You will also find out, if you haven’t before this, that there is nothing in the world more valuable than good neighbors. We are thankful for our great neighbors! We at the Grimes Funeral Chapels consider the people in our community to be our friends as well as our neighbors . . . If you wish to discuss preplanning or prefinancing, we are available to help you. This, of course, is without cost or obligation. As you friend and your neighbor, we consider this a privilege . . .

The Alamo Area Council of Governments is proud to have served the Alamo Region communities for nearly half a century. The agency has been consistent in offering our constituents and stakeholders services ranging from: aging, nutrition, benefits counseling, care coordination, regional transportation, economic development, air quality education, housing and weatherization, strategic planning and public safety, among others. During the past year, AACOG faced tremendous scrutiny. We are confident all the issues we as an agency were confronted with were addressed and ultimately resolved. However, we are more vigilant than ever to regain your trust and demonstrate our relevance. As such, we have implemented new policies that fortify our internal controls and simultaneously demonstrate our resolve to be more transparent than ever. To that end, at the conclusion of 2014, AACOG hired a new Executive director, Diane Rath. She brings extensive public sector experience, as well as strong regional insight, into the strategic planning and legislative processes to address the community issues in the Alamo Region. Pollard With so many exciting programs at AACOG, we would like to make you aware of recent developments. AACOG’s nonprofit, the Alamo Area Development Corporation, successfully secured grant funding from the Texas Veterans Commission to fund two new programs: • Alamo Call-A-Ride 4 Vets. • Alamo Housing 4 Texas Heroes. In 2012, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated there were approximately 255,000 veterans living in the Alamo region. Of these veterans, 42 percent were age 60 or older and had at least one diagnosed disability. Alamo Call-A-Ride 4 Vets provides transportation and mobility assistance to Veterans and their families by helping locate adequate transportation resources for a variety of needs and other possible funding opportunities based on eligibility. Any honorably discharged veteran, their immediate family (spouse, under 18 family member or disabled adult in the home), widower, and their caregiver, are eligible to receive transportation assistance. This program will run minimally through June 30, and may possibly be extended until Dec. 31. The Alamo Housing 4 Texas Heroes program provides essential home modification needs, associated with medical-specific conditions, for veterans, their families and un-remarried spouses. The goal is to provide home modifications for approximately 30 lowincome veteran families that would not normally have access to services from other programs. This program is available for the next 16 months, ending June 30, 2016, and will provide services ranging from a multitude of adaptations including, but not limited to: door widening, ramps and bathroom modifications. For further information on the Alamo Call-A-Ride 4 Vets program or the Alamo Housing 4 Texas Heroes program, or to apply, inquiries should be sent by email to vetrides@askasc.org or veterans@aacog.com, or by calling 1-800-960-5201.

Of all the idiocies uttered in reaction to Benjamin Netanyahu’s stunning election victory, none is more ubiquitous than the idea that peace prospects are now dead because Netanyahu has declared that there will be no Palestinian state while he is Israel’s prime minister. I have news for the lowing herds: There ➤ Charles would be no peace and no Krauthammer Palestinian state if Isaac Herzog were prime minister either. Or Ehud Barak or Ehud Olmert for that matter. The latter two were (non-Likud) prime ministers who offered the Palestinians their own state — with its capital in Jerusalem and every Israeli settlement in the new Palestine uprooted — only to be rudely rejected. This is not ancient history. This is 2000, 2001 and 2008 — three astonishingly concessionary peace offers within the last 15 years. Every one rejected. The fundamental reality remains: This generation of Palestinian leadership — from Yasser Arafat to Mahmoud Abbas — has never and will never sign its name to a final peace settlement dividing the land with a Jewish state. And without that, no Israeli government of any kind will agree to a Palestinian state. Today, however, there is a second reason a peace agreement is impossible: the supreme instability of the entire Middle East. For half a century, it was run by dictators no one liked but with whom you could do business. For example, the 1974 Israel-Syria disengagement agreement yielded more than four decades of near-total quiet on the border because the Assad dictatorships so decreed.

That authoritarian order is gone. Syria is wracked by a multi-sided civil war that has killed 200,000 people and that has al-Qaeda allies, Hezbollah fighters, government troops and even the occasional Iranian general prowling the Israeli border. Who inherits? No one knows. In the last four years, Egypt has had two revolutions and three radically different regimes. Yemen went from pro-American to Iranian client so quickly the U.S. had to evacuate its embassy in a panic. Libya has gone from Moammar Gadhafi’s crazy authoritarianism to jihadi-dominated civil war. On Wednesday, Tunisia, the one relative success of the Arab Spring, suffered a major terror attack that the prime minister said “targets the stability of the country.” From Mali to Iraq, everything is in flux. Amid this mayhem, by what magic would the West Bank, riven by a bitter Fatah-Hamas rivalry, be an island of stability? What would give any Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement even a modicum of durability? There was a time when Arafat commanded the Palestinian movement the way Gadhafi commanded Libya. Abbas commands no one. Why do you think he is in the 11th year of a four-year term, having refused to hold elections for the last five years? Because he’s afraid he would lose to Hamas. With or without elections, the West Bank could fall to Hamas overnight. At which point fire rains down on Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport and the entire Israeli urban heartland — just as it rains down on southern Israel from Gaza when it suits Hamas. Any Arab-Israeli peace settlement would require Israel to make dangerous and inherently irreversible territorial concessions

on the West Bank in return for promises and guarantees. Under current conditions, these would be written on sand. Israel is ringed by jihadi terrorists in Sinai, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Islamic State and Iranian proxies in Syria, and a friendly but highly fragile Jordan. Israelis have no idea who ends up running any of these places. Well, say the critics. Israel could be given outside guarantees. Guarantees? Like the 1994 Budapest Memorandum in which the U.S., Britain and Russia guaranteed Ukraine’s “territorial integrity?” Like the red line in Syria? Like the unanimous U.N. resolutions declaring illegal any Iranian enrichment of uranium — now effectively rendered null? Peace awaits three things. Eventual Palestinian acceptance of a Jewish state. A Palestinian leader willing to sign a deal based on that premise. A modicum of regional stability that allows Israel to risk the potentially fatal withdrawals such a deal would entail. I believe such a day will come. But there is zero chance it comes now or even soon. That’s essentially what Netanyahu said in explaining — and softening — on Thursday his no-Palestinian-state statement. In the interim, I understand the crushing disappointment of the Obama administration and its media poodles at the spectacular success of the foreign leader they loathe more than any other on the planet. The consequent seething and sputtering are understandable, if unseemly. Blaming Netanyahu for banishing peace, however, is mindless.

Weekend, March 21-22, 2015

The current system works well I read with interest the March 12 front page article on proposed changes to the current city arrangement for trash and recycling pick up. The proposed city action seems like a solution in search of a problem. The current system works well. The proposed change of more automation for much larger containers sounds good on the surface. The nominal qualitative benefits are less labor, more recycling, longer landfill life and employee safety. The negatives for rate payers are storage and movement of rather large containers, fewer pick-up days and a $2/month increase in fees. However, if the proposal saves labor, why is there a 12.4 percent fee increase instead of a decrease? I suspect there are underlying reasons for this proposal that are not being well articulated. Perhaps EPA regulations, which mandate more recycling, are trickling down to smaller communities? Or is the city (not rate payers) getting a “better deal” from a disposal company? I hope there is more public dialog before the city decides. I applaud the KDT for front page reporting on this topic. Larry Cattran, Kerrville

City residents would be issued two 96-gallon lidded trash cans under a proposed change in household garbage collection. Some homeowners are worried about moving and storing the large bins. Tom Holden/Times Photo Editor, photo@dailytimes.com

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it In reference to the 12 March KDT article on the proposed modification to trash collection in Kerrville, it seems to be a bit of overkill. We are a community with a significant number of elderly, one and two person households. In ours, we typically put out a 13 gallon bag and an 8 gallon recycle bin per week for collection. Two 96 gallon containers are gross over capacity for our needs unless we place trash out once a month and used the recycling one only four times a year, perhaps. We have one of the high pitched driveways noted in the article which would work a hardship as we age, having gotten most of the way there already. This new system is going to cost someone a lot more investment in equipment and I am concerned that, ultimately, the “someone” is us when the system we have is working just fine as is. The proposal is also a system whose efficiencies and benefits appear to apply more appropriately to a large, flat metropolitan area where the curb is typically closer to the house and the houses much closer together. We already have city and county governments obligating us for too many pet projects, in my view. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Thanks for listening. Ted Whittier, Kerrville

More about trash collection Does no one think about the loss of jobs that an automated trash pick-up system will produce? And how does this contribute to less trash?

Our trash pick-up system works well and the men who do it, it seems to me, are exemplary. Frank Lowry, Kerrville

allow young men and women who have served time an opportunity to build a work history instead of keeping them among the unemployed. I am not sure who will reap the benefits of the new system but am pretty sure it’s not the bill payers. Helen Herd, Kerrville

No, for several reasons I would like to respond “no” to the online poll to vote on the trash collection proposal, but the 96-gallon garbage cans are not the only reason as the poll suggests. If I correctly understand the proposal, the citizens of Kerrville would not only have to deal with two 96-gallon cans, but we would get to pay more for the privilege. No where does it say that the service would be improved; in fact the recycle pickup would be cut to every other week. At first cutting employees was to be a benefit, but doesn’t the EIC give tax abatements to companies that bring jobs to the area? In the second iteration, the justification was that it’s difficult to find employees willing to take the job. Maybe the restrictions could be relaxed to

No room for garbage monster I’m in my late 70s and can’t imagine having to lug a pair of 96 gallon trash cans up my Methodist Encampment driveway every trash day. Not only that, I don’t have any place to store those monsters. Furthermore, the idea seems to be one of cutting the number of days per week that trash will be picked up and charging more for the reduced service. Not only that, the proposal would cut the number of entry-level jobs available to those looking for work. Charles Robinson, Kerrville

Banker testifies before congressional committee

David Williams, Centennial Bank chairman and CEO, was one of several witnesses to speak at a one-panel hearing held by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. The full committee hearing is focused on “preserving consumer choice and financial independence.” According to the Committee on Financial Services hearing memorandum, the hearing was to examine the impact of rising compliance costs brought on by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on consumers, community financial institutions and the U.S. economy. Williams The committee was convened to explore what effect agency actions are having on specific products or services, whether they are no longer being offered and the impact on consumers if they no longer have access to products or services. Williams is a resident of Kerrville and has been associated with Centennial Bank for more than 30 years. He has served as a director in various state banking associations and served as chairman of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas. He also has served on various committees of the Independent Bankers Association of America, Washington, D.C.

This month, Capital Farm Credit is returning a record $72 million in cash to its member customers in the form of patronage dividends. Of that $72 million, the Kerrville Credit Office paid out more than $3.42 million to local members. “Since 2007, we have returned more than half a billion dollars to our member borrowers through our patronage program,” said Ben Novosad, CFC’s chief executive officer.“As the largest cooperative ag lender in Texas, the secret to our long-standing success is our cooperative structure.” Borrowers who do business with CFC become stockholders and owners in the cooperative, entitling them to share in its earnings through its long-standing patronage program. CFC’s customers own the business, and patronage payments in the form of cash-back dividends are one of the unique benefits of this customer-owned cooperative.

Password issues: 2 new ways to log in SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Tired of trying to remember a different password for each of your online accounts? Or worried about re-using the same password too many times? You’re not alone. Tech experts agree that traditional passwords are annoying, outmoded and too easily hacked. This week, Yahoo and Microsoft offered up some alternatives: Yahoo says it can text temporary passwords to users’ phones each time they want to sign into their Yahoo accounts. Microsoft said it is building facial-recognition and fingerprint-identification technology into Windows 10, the new computer operating system coming this summer, so users can log on with their fingertip or face. The two approaches drew different reviews. Here’s what you should know: NEW DAY, NEW PASSWORD Convenience and security. That’s what Yahoo is promising users who choose to receive a single-use password “on demand” — sent by text message to their mobile phone each time they want to sign into their Yahoo account. Once you opt into the

program, there’s no more need to create or memorize a password for Yahoo’s email or other services. Not a good move, experts say. “Yahoo just made it easier for attackers to compromise an account,” said Tim Erlin, risk strategist for the cybersecurity firm Tripwire. Temporary passwords can fall into the hands of anyone who steals your phone. While most phones can be set to require a separate password to unlock the home screen, many people don’t bother to do so. Phones can also be infected with malware that intercepts or copies text messages. Though it may be convenient, Erlin said, Yahoo’s on-demand option is a step backward from another alternative the company offers, known as two-factor authentication. With that option, users must provide both a traditional password and a one-time code that is texted to their phones. That’s considered stronger because a hacker would need both to get into a user’s account. Yahoo security chief Alex Stamos agreed that two-factor authentication is stronger. But many people don’t use it, he said in an online

post defending against critics. Since most online services let users reset passwords by sending a text or email to their phones, users are already vulnerable if they lose their device, Stamos argued. “The truth is that passwords are so incredibly, ridiculously broken that it is almost impossible to keep users safe as long as we have any,” Stamos wrote on his Twitter account. THE FUTURE IS NOW The concept of logging in by scanning your fingerprint or face used to seem like sci-fi. But the future is here. Microsoft said this week that it is building “biometric authentication” technology into the next version of its Windows software, so that users can unlock computers or phones with their face, iris or fingerprint. The devices must have a fingerprint reader or a high-end camera with infrared sensors, which are becoming more common. Windows 10 users may also be able to use their face or fingerprint

to sign into other online accounts. Microsoft is providing related software to builders of independent apps and websites so they too can verify a user’s identity through a combination of biometrics and an encrypted code automatically generated by the user’s computer or phone, Microsoft Vice President Joe Belfiore wrote in a blog post. Google already offers facial recognition as an option for unlocking Android phones, although it’s not widely used. Early versions were criticized as unreliable, but the technology has improved, said Anil Jain, a biometrics expert at Michigan State University. Apple and Samsung offer fingerprint identification to unlock some phones; Apple also uses it to authorize purchases through Apple Pay. It’s too early to know if Microsoft’s system will be effective or gain wide acceptance, Jain cautioned. But alternatives to passwords are definitely needed, said fraud expert Al Pascual. “The password today,” he said, “is more of a liability than any kind of security measure.”

Shrader to leave post in Lufkin in July

LUFKIN — Greg Shrader has announced he will retire as publisher of The Lufkin News at the end of July. His successor has not yet been named. After retirement, Shrader will continue to be associated with the parent company, Southern Newspapers Inc. of Houston. He will play a role in personnel development and sales training on a consulting basis. Southern’s CEO Lissa Walls Vahldiek said Shrader exemplifies what a newspaper publisher should be. “His stewardship not only of The Lufkin News but also of the community it serves Shrader sets the standard for all fortunate to work with him,” Vahldiek said. “Greg’s leadership capabilities have benefited numerous civic and media industry organizations. I will remain deeply grateful for all of his many contributions to our company.” SNI president Dolph Tillotson said he plans to interview candidates to replace Shrader over the next several months. “Greg and I have worked together for close to 25 years in Galveston, in Kerrville and in Lufkin,” Tillotson said. “He’ll be a very hard man for our company to replace.” The Shraders have lived in Lufkin since Southern bought The Lufkin News and the Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel in 2009. Before that, Shrader served as publisher of The Kerrville Times for 14 years. “It has been my privilege to work for Southern Newspapers, a company founded and built on the idea that if a newspaper serves the needs of the readers, advertisers and employees and everything else will fall into place,” Shrader said. Shrader and his wife, Laura, plan after retirement to move back to Kerrville, where they own a home. Shrader began his Texas newspaper career in 1974 with the Houston Chronicle after graduating from the University of Texas. He held advertising management positions with the Bryan-College Station Eagle, The Abilene Reporter-News and The Galveston County Daily News before becoming publisher of the Kerrville Daily Times.

That word is “design.” My wife’s favorite TV Channel is HGTV, and together we often watch “House Hunters” and “Fixer Upper.” The element of design is displayed in all its facets. Here are key words in understanding design: • Plan • Conceive • Listen • Create • Intend • Function • Purpose • Beauty

Think about some of the elements of beauty in an organization: • Balance of function and form • Symmetry • Smoothness of operation • Energy • Accomplishment of purpose • Inviting • Celebration of accomplishments • Collaboration The design of an NPO is (1) user focused, (2) prototype based (you use different models/ideas to determine what works best), and (3) involves collaboration. That’s the word of Peter Lawrence, chairman and founder of the Corporate Design Foundation. Lawrence claims that what is in the DNA of an organization from the beginning is crucial to design or redesign. He also asserts that design determines how people connect to an organization.

Finally, many NPOs are seeking to generate income by putting a price on some of their services or by developing businesses that will generate income for the NPO. I have three warnings about this. First, your whole operation can be seen in a very different light if you start selling your services, and your brand is effected. Second, many NPOs think they know how to run a business when they don’t. Third, these efforts can pull the NPO off its mission and use far more resources (staff time and money) than anticipated. But some NPOs are pulling it off.

Rick Trzcinski, left, of VADogs accepts a $3,065 check from Bob Lentner, president of the Unitarian Universal Church of the Hill Country, as they stand in front of a sign for the 5-acre site owned by VADogs on which a 4,000-square-foot training facility will be built.

The Unitarian Universal Church of the Hill Country has chosen to support the Veterans Assistance Dogs of Texas organization by providing a check for $3,065 to assist in the training of service dogs for disabled veterans. “We are a small congregation trying to do our part for the community and those who live here,” said Bob Lentner, president of the UUCHC board of directors. “Veterans are one of the groups here we try to support in whatever ways are available.” According to Rick Trzcinski, a board of directors member of VADogs and leader with the Sons of the American Revolution, the members of the UUCHC are dog lovers and want to help the dogs as well as the disabled veterans. VADogs rescues dogs are mostly Labrador retrievers, because of their gentle demeanor and ability to learn all the skills a service dog must learn in order to be certified as a legitimate service dog, according to Trzcinski. After VADogs rescues a suitable dog, the dog gets an in-depth screening by a veterinarian before being accepted into the training program. The training program usually

takes 10 to 12 months, plus a month with a matched disabled veteran. The dogs get basic foundation training, as well as advanced skills training, public access training and finally teamwork training. During the teamwork training, the dog is matched with a veteran, and they work together and must both pass two strenuous tests before the dog’s certification as a service dog. The training can cover four types of disability: physical disability, traumatic brain injury disability, post traumatic stress disorder and military sexual trauma disability. The training of a service dog can cost close to $10,000 to pay for veterinarian costs, trainer costs and dog food costs. The total training time and total costs can vary, depending on the dog’s learning speed, and some of the necessary skills can vary depending on the matched veteran. VADogs is a nonprofit corporation that operates solely on donated funds. All donations are fully tax deductible. To learn, visit www.VADogs.org or call 792-4377. Address letters to P.O. Box 290546, Kerrville, TX, 78029-0546, and send emails to info@VADogs.org.

WHAT IS A COLONOSCOPY?

A colonoscopy is a screening procedure that enables us to find potentially precancerous polyps in the colon. WHY ARE COLONOSCOPIES NECESSARY?

Most people don’t know that colorectal cancer is the second leading killer cancer of both men and women in the US—and it is the most preventable cancer thanks to today’s colonoscopy techniques. That’s reason enough to get a screening colonoscopy. Colon cancer usually develops slowly, over several years, so getting regular colonoscopies under the direction of your physician is the best way to catch it early. WHO SHOULD GET A COLONOSCOPY?

If you’re over 50, you should get an initial, screening colonoscopy as soon as possible. If you have a

HC Memorial

family history of cancer, you may need to be screened at an earlier age. If we don’t find anything, then you won’t need another colonoscopy for 10 years. As your physicians, we’ll come up with a screening schedule that fits with your lifestyle and risk factors. WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS FOR COLON CANCER?

Age, weight, diet, activity level and family history all affect your risk for colon cancer. We can’t say this enough: Getting regular exercise and eating healthy go a long way in the fight against cancer. If you have a family history of cancer, talk to your primary care physician about when you should get a screening colonoscopy. HOW ARE TODAY’S COLONOSCOPIES DIFFERENT?

Colonoscopies today are performed with light anesthesia.

For the patient, this feels like conscious sedation. You’re awake but very sleepy. Our Olympus colonscopes give us greater visibility, so we’re able to detect smaller polyps sooner and remove them immediately during the colonoscopy. Thanks to improvements in technology, the death rate from colorectal cancer has dropped significantly over the past 20 years.

but if you do, we ask you to call us.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A COLONOSCOPY?

WHY SHOULD I HAVE MY COLONOSCOPY AT HCM?

Today’s prep methods are more user-friendly than they used to be. The day before your procedure, you’ll drink a sports drink-like liquid over the course of a couple of hours or several hours depending on what your doctor prescribes. This is a colon cleansing liquid, so you’ll want to stay close to home. You shouldn‘t experience too much discomfort,

Because not all colonoscopies are created equal, and we’re really good at them. Here at HCM, our goal is to give patients peace of mind, not to perform the most procedures.

Local nonprofits can apply for Polar Bear Challenge funds

Applications now being accepted from area nonprofits that would like to be considered as the beneficiary for the 23rd annual Polar Bear Challenge. The New Year’s Day event takes place at Mo-Ranch, with participants sliding into the frigid waters of the Guadalupe River to raise funds for a local nonprofit organization. The event has raised more than $175,000

Trail | continued from page 1A

“It’s something that we’ve been through before, and we have some fair offers for purchasing easements along those areas, and there are offers on (the Guadalupe Street area),” Conklin said. Several of the Guadalupe Street residents gave permission in August for surveyors to look at possible locations for the route the river trail would take through their properties. While some homeowners have expressed support for the plan, several residents have expressed concern about the potential for the river trail to cross through their backyards. This has been a concern shared by several residents in different areas as construction has continued along the river. The first phase of the river trail, a .7 mile segment from the Riverside Nature Center to Louise Hays Park, opened in December 2012. Package B of the river trail, the roughly mile-long stretch from Tranquility Island at Louise Hays Park to G Street, has been complete for about one month, but is not yet open. The city is still in the eminent domain process with Rio Robles property owners on this section of the trail.

Park | continued from page 1A will be completed at the end of spring, weather pending. City staff appreciates the patience of the community and is excited to showcase the park when it is complete,” the release said. Louise Hays Park has been closed since late 2013 for the work. The $1.4 million project, as well as the $750,000 interactive water feature in the park, were originally expected to be finished in January and November, respectively.

to date for nonprofits within the Hill Country area. To be considered as a beneficiary, local nonprofits must: • Provide for charitable and/or educational needs in the Hill Country, particularly as they relate to the community of Kerr County. • Promote and encourage volunteer participation and citizen involvement.

• Have a clearly defined mission and a history of their accomplishments. • Have demonstrated an effective plan for fund development and an efficient use of those funds. Previous Polar Bear Challenge beneficiaries have included Partners in Ministry, Christian Women’s Job Corps, Star Ranch, Hill Country CARES, Hill Country College

Work still is underway on Package F, the portion from G Street to Kerrville-Schreiner Park. The proposed portion that will affect the Guadalupe Street residents could stretch from the Riverside Nature Center to Nimitz Lake. City officials have previously expressed interest in avoiding the eminent domain process, which gives governments the power to acquire land for public use. Entities acquiring such property must give the owners either agreed-on sums or amounts determined by court-appointed appraisers. If a property owner does not want to give permission for an easement or an agreement on compensation cannot be reached, a governmental entity can enter into condemnation proceedings. Councilman Gary Stork said he’s against using eminent domain to acquire property unless it is needed for utilities or projects such as roads. “I love the river trail, so I’m really excited about it,” Stork said. “I’m generally against eminent domain unless it serves a bigger purpose for the whole community.” Councilman Gene Allen and Councilwoman Stacie Keeble could not be reached for comment by press time. Keeble has donated an easement for her property to the

city for the river trail. In December 2013, the city council directed staff to explore alternative routes west of the Riverside Nature Center. Different options have been considered, such as bringing the trail across the south side of the river, or taking it along Guadalupe Street in front of the homes. An update on the status of property acquisitions and routing of the river trail west of the Riverside Nature Center is slated for discussion and possible action during Monday’s Economic Improvement Corporation board meeting at 4 pm. at City Hall, 701 Main St. The river trail project is being funded through a $6 million bond approved in 2011, which is being paid for through the 4B sales tax fund, a 1/2 cent sales tax that generates about $2.4 million annually. The 4B fund, which is managed by the Kerrville Economic Improvement Corporation, can be used for economic improvement projects that create primary jobs or for quality-of-life projects. The city has started the process of issuing $9 million in debt for a proposed youth athletic complex off Holdsworth Drive. The debt also would be paid through the 4B fund.

The improvements at the park include two new restroom facilities, a new paved parking area under the Sidney Baker Street bridge, renovation to the stage area and existing pavilion, a spray park and a pump house for the water feature. Matthews said Thursday that no new projects will be taken on in order to focus attention on finishing the improvements. “We’re concentrating on making sure that’s where our daily effort is,” Matthews said. “Our instruction is concentrating right now on Louise

Hays Park and the river trail project. We can’t deviate on that.” The improvements are being funded through a $6 million bond approved in 2011, which is being paid for through the 4B sales tax fund, a 1/2 cent sales tax that generates about $2.4 million annually. The 4B fund, which is managed by the Kerrville Economic Improvement Corporation, can be used for economic improvement projects that create primary jobs or for quality-of-life projects.

Wolf was concerned about freshman congressmen maintaining healthy family relationships, and he routinely gave them Christian materials. He gave DeLay a video by Dobson called “Where’s Daddy?” DeLay said he “broke down” after watching the video, having realized there were some things wrong with him. Wolf then invited DeLay to a Bible study. “Five months later, I came to Christ,” DeLay said, and the audience applauded. DeLay said he was then “lit on fire” after reading another Christian book that laid out a certain vision for America. “This country was created by God so that we would be a successful, powerful, affluent country to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ all over the globe,” DeLay said of this vision. He described a three-hour worship and praise session attended by Senate and House members in the U.S. Capitol rotunda shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

first to step forward and seek the face of God and pray and turn from our wicked ways,” DeLay said. He said the country began to go astray in the 1880s, when U.S. intellectuals began traveling to Europe to study socialist ideas. The trend continued in the early 1900s, DeLay said, when U.S. political leaders promoted wealth redistribution via the income tax and attacked the idea of individual sovereignty. DeLay said another blow to America came in the 1950s, when public school students no longer where required to study the Bible. DeLay said American culture now “has been completely destroyed,” and he cited the high national divorce rate, babies born out of wedlock, legalized abortion, high national debt and the increased legalization of same-sex marriage. “But the best thing that ever happened to us in this country was the election of Barack Hussein Obama,” DeLay said. “Why is that — why would I say something so brazen? Because God says, ‘You don’t want me around? You get Obama.’ Because God works in the affairs of men. It’s in the Scriptures. He appoints all rulers, all authorities. Everything. So there was

a reason Obama became president of the United States.” DeLay called Obama “a Marxist with Muslim sympathies” who doesn’t care about the U.S. Constitution or Congress. “Finally, people are starting to wake up, finally people are starting to understand. ... Government is not supposed to take care of you from womb to the grave,” DeLay said. “People are starting to discuss the Constitution, whether we want to or not. A lot of people don’t want to. We still have Republicans running around in the Congress right now who believe government is everything, they can just run it better and more efficiently than the Democrats can run it.” DeLay said the “big government” Republican leadership is being weeded out in favor of new leaders such as Sen. Ted Cruz, who DeLay said is among those who want “a constitutional, limited government with God at the head of it.” This idea drew applause from the audience.

Texas ready to dump high school steroids testing program

AUSTIN (AP) — When Texas officials launched a massive public high school steroids testing program over fears of rampant doping from the football fields to the tennis courts, they promised a model program for the rest of the country to follow. But almost no one did. And after spending $10 million testing more than 63,000 students to catch just a handful of cheaters, Texas lawmakers appear likely to defund the program this summer. If they do, New Jersey and Illinois will have the only statewide high school steroids testing programs left. Even those who pushed for the Texas program in 2007 now call it a colossal misfire, either a waste of money or too poorly designed to catch the drug users some insist are slipping through the cracks. “I believe we made a huge mistake,” said Don Hooton, who started the Taylor Hooton Foundation for steroid abuse education after his 17-year-old son’s 2003 suicide was linked to the drug’s use, and was one of the key advocates in creating the Texas program. Hooton believes the low number of positive tests doesn’t mean Texas athletes are clean, only that they’re not getting caught because of inadequate testing and loopholes that allow them to cheat the process. “Coaches, schools, and politicians have used the abysmal number of positive tests to prove there’s no steroid problem,” Hooton said. “What did we do here? We just lulled the public to sleep.” Texas wasn’t the first state to test

high schoolers. New Jersey and Florida were first and Illinois started about the same time as Texas. But the Lone Star State employed its typical bigger-is-better swagger by pumping in millions to sweep the state for cheaters. At the time, Texas had more than 780,000 public high school athletes, by far the most in the nation. A positive test would kick the star quarterback or point guard out of the lineup for at least 30 days. Schools across the country closely watched Texas, said Don Colgate, director of sports and sports medicine at the National Federation of State High School Associations. “Texas was going out in front in a big way,” Colgate said. “(But) it’s not a cheap process and they knew they were not going to do it on the scale of what Texas did.” New Jersey and Illinois each spends about $100,000 annually testing a few hundred athletes. Florida folded its $100,000 program in 2009. There were questions from the start whether Texas should go so big. The University Interscholastic League, the state’s governing body for high school sports, surveyed its member public schools in 2002 and the vast majority said testing should be a local decision. By 2007, headlines of performance-enhancing drug abuse in professional sports and a push from advocates like Hooton prodded lawmakers to forge ahead and they pumped in $6 million for the first two years. Texas hired Drug Free Sport, which conducts testing for the NCAA, the NFL, Major League Baseball and the

NBA, to randomly select students, pull them out of class and have them supply a urine sample. The first 19,000 tests produced just nine confirmed cases of steroid use, with another 60 “protocol violations” for skipping the test. Few saw those numbers as good news of clean athletes or even as proof the program could be a successful deterrent. Most saw it as fodder for criticism that the state was wasting its money. And national momentum was ebbing. The economic downturn pinched state budgets. Other health issues, including heat-related deaths and head safety, jumped to the forefront. Anti-doping pioneer Don Catlin, who spent years conducting the NCAA’s laboratory tests at UCLA, said the Texas plan was well-intentioned but didn’t test for enough drugs in the early years and had gaps in protocols that cheaters could exploit. Texas tested for only about 10 drugs in the first wave, a fraction of the anabolic agents on the market, which Catlin warned would be easy to avoid detection. Testers also can lose the element of surprise because they have to tell school officials when they’ll be on campus. While that is supposed to be confidential, the news can slip out and UIL has punished schools for violations. Although students are required to empty their pockets and lift shirts above their waist band, testing officials also aren’t allowed to physically watch the person providing a urine sample. Privacy for under-age

athletes is a potentially huge loophole for cheaters. The testing protocols, including which drugs were tested for, were developed by the UIL and Drug Free Sport. “The program they developed was bound to fail,” Catlin said. “I told them years ago to put the money into something else.” State lawmakers have been scaling down the Texas program almost since it began. It was trimmed to $2 million by 2010 and has continued to shrink to about $500,000 a year. That required testing fewer athletes and targeting specific sports such as football, wrestling and baseball. UIL Athletic Director Mark Cousins said Texas now targets about 60 drugs but the number of positive tests still remains low. In the 2013-2014 school year, the UIL tested 2,633 students and caught two. Hooton said those low figures don’t match anecdotal evidence of higher steroid use among teens.

Hooton, who started the Taylor Hooton Foundation for steroid abuse education after his 17-yearold son’s 2003 suicide was linked to steroid use, was one of the key advocates in creating the Texas program. Hooton believes the low number of positive tests doesn’t mean Texas athletes are clean, only that they’re not getting caught because of inadequate testing and loopholes that allow them to cheat the test.

to build nests. Interestingly, domestic livestock, at least some of them — especially horses, sheep, goats and chickens — readily use man-made shelters. Which is a good thing, because very young lambs and kids can die from exposure on very cold, wet nights. So to me, the lessons for homeowners and landowners is to do what we can to provide our native critters with the habitat they evolved to live in and that they know how to survive in. The more we alter the habitat by taking away any feature of importance to small animal survival, or by introducing any obstacle to their survival, the more difficult we make their lives and the fewer of our native species that will be able to co-exist with us. So be nice to our little furry and feathered friends. Until next time. ...

4-seed L’ville hangs on to avoid upset

SEATTLE (AP) — It was a game of inches. Not surprisingly, Rick Pitino and a couple of his scrappy guards got it done for Louisville. Freshman Quentin Snider made the winning free throws Friday and Terry Rozier closed it out with a steal, helping the fourth-seeded Cardinals to a 57-55 victory over 13th-seeded UC Irvine and the tallest player in the tournament, 7-foot-6 Mamadou Ndiaye. “He looked eight feet to me,” said Pitino, whose team moves on to play Northern Iowa on Sunday for a trip to the Sweet 16. With the game tied, Snider snagged a rebound in the corner off a long miss by Luke Nelson and drew a foul when Will Davis II crashed into him. Snider made the free throws with 8.9 seconds left, and the Anteaters (21-13) never got a final shot, thanks to Rozier’s pick of Alex Young. Putting Snider on the hot seat wasn’t really the coach’s plan when the freshman replaced Chris Jones in the starting lineup last month after the Cardinals (25-8) dismissed the senior guard. Pitino told his team there was no way Snider could replace Jones all by himself, and asked the rest of the guys to pick things up. Snider finished with a career-high 16 points, 13 higher than his average — and scored the winning points.

Leitha strikes out 11 as Center Point rolls Center Point’s Larry Leitha delivers a pitch during the Pirates’ home game against Junction on Friday. Leitha struck out 11 batters and retired each of Junction’s first nine batters in a row.

By Chris Derrett

Times Sports Editor chris.derrett@dailytimes.com Center Point’s Larry Leitha threw almost all fastballs in the first three innings of Friday’s game against Junction. Nine batters up, nine batters down — with eight strikeouts. “(Leitha) came out smoking,” Pirates head coach Bubba Walters said. “If (the opposing hitters are) going to be late on the fastball, why show another pitch? If I can get through the order easily with one pitch, I’ll do it.” Leitha threw a five-inning complete game, striking out 11 batters and giving up one run, as the Pirates (3-0 in district) beat Junction 14-1 via run rule in Center Point. “Once I got the groove, I started to kind of roll after that,” said Leitha, who blew away Junction’s batters with a mid- to upper-80s fastball. “I started feeling better

San Antonio Spurs

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and the San Antonio Spurs never trailed Friday night, holding off the Boston Celtics 101-89 after getting a late scare. Tony Parker had 15 points and seven rebounds, and Tiago Splitter added 18 points for San Antonio, which has won seven straight over Boston. After trailing by as many as 25 in the second half, the Celtics went on a 16-0 run late in the fourth quarter to pull to 91-84 on Tyler Zeller’s bank shot. The spurt prompted San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich to bring Parker and Leonard back into the game after both sat for more than 10 minutes. Parker settled the Spurs, guiding them to a 10-2 run that allowed the point guard and Leonard to exit for good with a minute remaining and a 102-87 lead. The Celtics (30-38) remained eighth in the Eastern Conference following Indiana’s loss to Cleveland. Boston guard Marcus

Smart was ejected after being assessed a flagrant foul 2 for delivering an uppercut to Matt Bonner’s groin with 9 minutes remaining. Evan Turner had 17 points and Avery Bradley added 16 for Boston. The late struggles were a problem, but Tim Duncan made sure the Spurs got off to a good start in their first home game since an embarrassing loss to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. The 18-year veteran hit the floor twice in the first 3 minutes, collecting two steals with his hustle. The second steal led to his running, two-handed dunk off a feed from Splitter that gave San Antonio a 10-2 lead and led to Boston’s first timeout. Boston coach Brad Stevens praised San Antonio’s ball movement before the game, and the Spurs demonstrated why. San Antonio finished with 31 assists, including 19 on its 21 first-half baskets.

Sports in Brief NASCAR Kurt Busch takes pole at Fontana in 2nd race back FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — Kurt Busch’s comeback from his season-opening suspension is gathering speed. Busch won the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR race at Auto Club Speedway, turning a lap of 185.142 mph in his Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet to edge teammate Kevin Harvick. Busch took another step forward Friday in his return from four months of off-track troubles involving his ex-girlfriend, who accused him of domestic assault. He wasn’t charged, but missed the first three races of this season under suspension.

Puig, Carson hit HRs, Dodgers beat Rangers SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Yasiel Puig hit a three-run homer on the first pitch he saw, Matt Carson added another three-run shot, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Texas Rangers 11-6 on Friday night. Texas starter Anthony Bass and Los Angeles starter Erik Bedard combined to allow 10 runs in the first inning before the scoring finally settled down in the opener of a split-squad, two-game set at the Alamodome. Bass, who’s on a minor-league contract but had previously shown some promise this spring training, gave up hits to the first three Dodgers he faced. It was capped by Puig’s blast. Carson then followed with his home run, and when the Dodgers

batted around, lead-off hitter Joc Pederson slapped a solo home run that put Los Angeles up 8-0. “Both teams had to be thinking that we were going to run out of pitching pretty quick,” Carson said. “I know I was thinking ‘Uh oh,’ because everybody else is back in Arizona.” The Dodgers sent 13 batters to the plate, but Bass was not allowed to see Puig again. It didn’t matter. Puig lined a single into center off reliever Roman Mendez. Puig went 2 for 3 and lifted his batting average above .200 this spring. Pederson was 3 for 4 and is batting .471. The Rangers’ 1-2 hitters, Leonys Martin and Elvis Andrus, were a combined 4 for 5.

“I’ve played here (in the Alamodome) three years, and every time I know how Miguel Cabrera feels hitting the ball,” Andrus said. “It feels so good.” Bedard, in his first year with the Dodgers after 11 big-league seasons, quickly loaded the bases by allowing three straight hits to the top of the Texas order. He allowed runs by issuing consecutive walks to Rougned Odor and Carlos Corporan. Though Bass is on a minor-league contract, his chances to make the Rangers’ opening-day squad could not have been discounted entering Friday, considering the injuries to Texas’ staff and the fact that Bass pitched well in his last outing (no runs, three strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings). He had 5 1/3 scoreless

innings this spring, but the Dodgers touched him for six hits, most of them well-hit. Though Carson’s home run was almost a bloop over the short right-field fence (275 feet down the line), Puig’s and Pederson’s homers easily cleared 350 feet. Even Justin Turner’s single lined to the right-center field wall. “The balls that were hit off me were up in the zone,” Bass said. “I’m fighting for a spot on the team, so I’m disappointed with the result.” Delino DeShields played for the first time in a week after a mild right hamstring strain. He’s a Rule 5 draft pick from the Astros and has to be offered back to Houston if he does not make the Opening Day squad and a trade cannot be made.

4-seed Duke women stave off upset effort DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke kept giving Albany every chance to pull the first huge upset of the women’s NCAA Tournament. And then Rebecca Greenwell snatched victory right back. Greenwell hit a 3-pointer with 14.9 seconds left that lifted the Blue Devils past Albany 54-52 on Friday in the first round of the Spokane Region. The redshirt freshman finished with 20 points for the fourth-seeded Blue Devils (22-10). They overcame a season-worst 27 turnovers to win their NCAA Tournament opener for the 22nd straight time. “We didn’t go down without a fight tonight,” Greenwell said. Imani Tate had 17 points and Shereesha Richards added 12 for the Great Danes (24-9), who were trying to become just the second No. 13 seed to win a game in the tournament and the first since Marist in 2012. “We should have won the game,” guard Sarah Royals said. “I think that we outplayed them, and I’m not ashamed to say it.” They had two chances to retake the lead after Greenwell’s big shot in the final seconds put Duke up 53-52. Tate missed on a drive down the lane with about 8 seconds left and Duke’s Azura Stevens hit the first of two free throws with 6.4 seconds left. She missed the second and the Great Danes raced downcourt, but Erin Coughlin’s corner 3 clipped off

the back iron at the buzzer. “I’m convinced that every shot Erin shoots goes in,” Royals said. Elizabeth Williams had 12 rebounds but was just 2 for 9 shooting while Amber Henson added 10 boards for Duke, which will play fifth-seeded Mississippi State on Sunday in the second round. The Blue Devils rarely have trouble with their first NCAA Tournament opponent, winning each of their previous 18 firstround games by double figures. Not this time. The Blue Devils had their hands full with an Albany team making its fourth straight tournament appearance. Neither team led by more than eight, and the Great Danes appeared to be in control late, leading by four with the ball in the final 90 seconds. “I think we all had faith in each other that we were still going to win the game,” Williams said. “I don’t think there was any doubt in anyone’s mind.” Williams made it a onepossession game with a jumper in the lane with about 1:10 remaining, and Duke got the ball back after Richards and Tate missed with about 40 seconds to play. Royals fouled Williams with 22.2 seconds left and after the Duke All-American missed both — the second on purpose — the officials called a held ball and the arrow pointed the Blue Devils’ way. Greenwell inbounded the ball

— and most important — 3-pointer. “She killed us,” Albany coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson said. “All by herself.”

National Puppy Day

Gone too soon

Event shines spotlight on ‘horrors’ of puppy mills

A farewell to 2 residents who died far too young

By Donna Gable Hatch Features Editor donna.hatch@dailytimes.com

onday is National Puppy Day, and local animal rescue groups have some ideas on how residents can help celebrate the occasion. “The shelter can always use little treats for puppies for rewards when they are good and always more toys — they love them, and they don’t last long,” said Penny Bowman, board president of the Kathleen C. Cailloux Humane Society, 2900 Junction Highway. “Treats, toys and puppy pads are always high on our wish list, but, of course, our biggest wish list is for them all to find wonderful forever homes.” The humane society has several five-week old puppies at the shelter, which will be available for adoption in a month or so. National Puppy Day was founded in 2006 by Colleen Paige — an animal behaviorist, author of “The Good Behavior Book for Dogs” and editorin-chief of Pet Home Magazine — to raise awareness about the horrors of puppy mills and to help find homes for orphaned pups. A puppy mill is a large-scale commercial dog breeding operation that places profit over the well-being of its dogs — who are often severely neglected — and acts without regard to responsible breeding practices, according to the nonprofit American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “Puppy mills are nothing but a profit-making business for the owners. The welfare or health of the animal is not a priority,” Bowman said. “Few states regulate them, so they are free to treat dogs however they want. Most are kept in small wire cages, bred each time they go into heat, food and water are many times inadequate — not counting that many live in filth. Since they are not socialized, when they are surrendered to a shelter or seized by animal control, they take lots of love and care and months of work before they can

This is so sad in itself.” In addition, she said, “puppies bred in puppy mills usually are sold to pet stores and usually are never

seen by a veterinarian, so many have lots of issues — bones, teeth, spurs or bone deformities on their feet from wire cages — and most are malnourished.”

Tori Lewis, founder of Rustic Aussie Rescue, applauds Paige’s mission. “I wish there were more people like See Puppy page 3C

Call for artists to loan work to PRMC From Staff Reports Peterson Regional Medical Center’s Community Art Lending Program continues to grow as they celebrate the completion of a second full year. Since April 2013, the staff at Ambulatory Care Center’s Outpatient Rehabilitation Department, 260 Cully Drive, have been accepting and displaying the art or photographs from generous and talented artists across the region. Artists are invited to lend their works for three months at a time.

Artwork is displayed down the main hallway of the Outpatient Rehabilitation Department from the reception area toward the rehabilitation gym, which is one of the most busy and frequented hallways in the facility. The staff is calling for new artists to submit work for display in the new quarter, which runs April through June 2015. Artists interested in submitting art for consideration should submit photos in person or via email by Tuesday. Open to all Hill Country

artists, including high school and university students, the Peterson Community Art Lending Program assists in the promotion of talented artists and offers the patients receiving care in the unit, along with their supportive families and the staff, the stimulation and energy and inspiration of an artistic environment while in our facility for healing. Artists and photographers are asked to email photos of available pieces to Lisa Winters at lwinters@petersonrmc.com or call 258-7628.

Many of us were reminded this week how fragile life can be. Life is suspended by a thin cord, easily broken. Thursday’s edition of this newspaper carried two obituaries, side-by-side, of two of our neighbors who left us much too soon. One was a young woman who I’d only met once, but during that meeting she was kind and helpful. Rachel Fillingame died this week at the age of 21, of a rare autoimmune disease. I met her at my friends’ vehicle repair shop, LeMeilleur’s RV, Truck and Equipment Repair, where she was employed. During that one meeting, she quickly took the information on the work I needed with a smile. Through Facebook, I learned she was ill, and I followed the ➤ Joe Herring progress of her Around Town disease through my friends’ almost daily posts. The thing that really stood out was her bravery: She was ready to go to the reward she knew awaited her in heaven. Her faith helped her as she approached her final hour here. The other who left us too soon was a young man I’d known since he was a youngster: James Eastland, who passed away at 34 this week. He leaves behind a loving wife and two beautiful daughters. He, his wife, and several generations of the Eastland family work at Camp Mystic, a summer camp for girls on the south fork of the Guadalupe River, just past Hunt. James was well known in our community, from his student days here, as an athlete at Tivy, his involvement in community affairs, and his leadership in the camping industry. The news of his sudden passing shocked many, and when the email came through, I did not believe it. I’d seen him a few weeks before, and we visited, as always. I had no idea it would be our last visit. James, like young Rachel, was a person of faith. He knew in his heart that he had a home in heaven. On many occasions, I have used this space to praise someone for their contributions to life here in the Texas hill country. I try to do this while the person is still with us and able to know how much they’re appreciated. It’s an attempt to say thank you. But, I admit, it’s often directed at a person who is of a certain age, someone who’s hair is silver, and whose accomplishments span decades. And I’ve often used this space to praise folks who’ve recently passed away, to remember them, and to tell those they’ve left behind how much they were appreciated. The events of this week suggest it’s never too early to start — that one shouldn’t wait until someone else’s autumn years to say thank you for their efforts to make this place a better place to live. I hope the lesson I’ve learned this week is to be thankful, and to

local shelters or qualified breeders — because that’s the only way to put a stop to the puppy mill-pet store cycle that fosters inhumane treatment of dogs. “In time, when people are not buying from a pet store, these puppy mills might be put out of business,” Bowman said.

Colleen Paige,” Lewis said. “Her awareness program brings education, and that’s what we need to stop puppy mills and their abuse and neglect of the dogs. As a rescuer, I am frustrated and saddened by what I see when the impulse buy from a puppy mill creates an unwanted dog that has outgrown its cuteness.” If people knew more about puppy mills, Lewis said, “more people would stand up against them. These so-called breeders do nothing for the health of the dogs. The conditions these dogs live in is disturbing.” Sonia Mumma, shelter manger at Freeman-Fritts Animal Clinic & Shelter, agreed. “Kudos to Colleen Paige for establishing National Puppy Day to bring focus to the plight of puppy mills and orphaned puppies,” Mumma said. “Puppies are just like babies: They need constant care and affection, along with a safe, secure environment.” Currently, the shelter — which is at 515 Spur 100 — has several small puppies in need of forever homes — and they’re running low on supplies, Mumma said. Nancy Parker-Simons, who co-founded Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch in Medina with Kinky Friedman, said the ranch plans to celebrate the event by giving the animals in its care extra cuddles and hugs — and the public is invited to take part in the fun. “Our dogs love our volunteers as much as we do, because they know that when the volunteers show up, they are fixin’ to go for a fun walk, in the woods and weather permitting, take a refreshing swim in the creek,” Parker-Simons said. “We invite anyone who thinks that they might enjoy walking, grooming or just spending some quality time with our dogs to please come on out. You’ll be welcomed by all, but I must warn you that sometimes our dog’s get so excited about getting to go for a swim — they actually drag our volunteers into the creek with them. So please don’t wear nice clothes when you come out, because you’ll probably get wet or be covered in paw prints or both, by the time all of us go eat lunch together.” The gate to the ranch, which is at 966 Echo Hill Road, is closed “because our donkeys and my horse seem to think that the grass is greener on the other side, so call and make an appointment, and we’ll be sure to have the gate opened.” All the shelters are in need of basic puppy supplies, including: • Esbilac Puppy Replacement Milk • Dog nursing bottles • Baby blankets • Towels • Puppy pads • Stainless steel water and food bowls • Newspapers • Dog beds “As puppies begin to explore their new world rope toys, soft toys, Kongs, Chuck-It toys, puppy play pens, small collars and leashes become significant parts of their learning process,” Mumma said. “A volunteer’s time of giving love and socialization to these animals is essential and a gift from the heart.” But Bowman said the best thing people can do for the puppy in their life is to work with it and help it integrate into the household. “While most people are smitten with a cute little ball of fur, please

Kerrville connection leads physicians to support host Lions Club golf tourney From Staff Reports A local physician’s support of the Kerrville Host Lions Club Golf Tournament grew from a personal experience he had as a college student. Dr. Jim Young, internal medicine, and Dr. Ode Young, rheumatology, donated $555 gift certificate for skin care treatment as part of the auction for the 19th Annual Dan Gatewood Memorial Golf Tournament, to be held April 25 at the Scott Schreiner Golf Course.

School, Hill Country District Junior Livestock Show and the Texas Lions Camp. It was at the Texas Lions Camp where Jim Young spent four summers working as a counselor as

an undergraduate student at Texas A&M University. “Some of the fondest memories of my entire life and the best time personally I ever had was taking care of those kids,” Dr. Jim Young said of

his counseling experience. “It was an incredible job.” He recounts working from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., helping children who had a range of medical conditions from spina bifida to cerebral palsy. The attitude of service and personal connections he forged ultimately influenced his decision to pursue medicine as a career. Dr. Jim Young currently serves as medical director for Peterson Hospice and is director of palliative care at Peterson Regional Medical Center. Dr. Ode Young is owner of OYoung MD–Laser and Medical Aesthetic Clinic. They have been Kerrville residents since 1994. “I think Lions Club is a wonderful organization, and the Lions Camp is a remarkable place, both for the campers and people who worked there,” Young said.

Alamo Hospice Hill Country, a Hospice Partners of America location in Texas, helped celebrate the 102nd birthday of Tilitha “Tillie” May, a resident at Brookdale Kerrville, formerly Sterling House. May, center left, was joined by family members Nancy Dosdoll, also a resident at Brookdale, and her nephew and son. May was born March 16, 1913, in Springfield, Kentucky, and lived in Kentucky and Texas, marrying police officer Richard A. May in 1934. She worked as a housewife and as a store manager for the Winn Company for more than 37 years.

express thanks in a better way. I hope you, too, will consider this lesson. There are people around us who make an extra effort, who are effective, who work harder. They try to do the right thing. They make the difficult look easy. I hope you’ll join me in thanking them. It costs nothing to say “good job.” It’s easy to say you’ve noticed the someone’s attention to detail, someone who is finishing a big project, or someone who has a big dream. To the two young adults we recently lost, Rachel and James: Thank you for your hard work. You made a difference to our community. You will be missed.
