In the agreement, filed in the Austin division of the U.S. District Court, Segner is ordered to pay $306,075 in back employment and unemployment taxes, while his business, Sound Wave Electronics, is ordered to pay $12,904 in back taxes. Additionally, Segner was charged an additional $3,197 in penalties under federal tax code 6672 for failure to pay the employment and unemployment taxes. All owed money is subject to statutory additions and interest which began accruing Oct. 1 per the agreement.

As a result, the council is expected to hold a special meeting next week to discuss the potential changes, though an official date for the meeting had not been set prior to press time. “I don’t want the public to believe we have a major problem here,” City Manager Kent Myers said Monday. “Based upon our discussions with both the contractor and the engineer over the past couple of days, we can bring this project within budget and still have a very attractive, functional pool.”

We’re not looking to take a higher bid and generate a cut,” Mayor Jeryl Hoover said. “This council has been very clear that we’re not going to go over on this project.” After the bids were opened Wednesday, Oct. 10, city staff met with representatives from Cox Commercial to begin the process of value engineering in order to trim the bid down to match the city’s budget for the project.

Garrison Brothers to expand distribution across the state Garrison Brothers Distillery has announced that 9,000 bottles of Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey have recently been distributed throughout the state. This is the sixth release of the vintage straight bourbon from Garrison Brothers, located in Hye. Distribution of the whiskey has spread from Blanco and Gillespie County to Austin, San Antonio, Houston, the Rio Grande Valley, and North and West Texas. This latest release will reach establishments and retailers in Dallas, Fort Worth and all of East Texas. “We always knew distribution would grow organically and slowly, but we never expected it would take so long to get statewide,” said Dan Garrison, proprietor and distiller. “That’s because thirsty Central Texans kept drinking it all as soon as it was available.” Garrison Brothers releases two vintages a year, one in the fall and one in the spring around Texas Independence Day. The first release of 1,000 bottles on March 2, 2010, sold out in 24 hours. The second release, in the fall of 2010, disappeared from stores in just a few weeks.
The bourbon, which can range from $65 to $85 a bottle at retail, has become a collector’s item for connoisseurs and enthusiasts throughout the country, though it can only be purchased in Texas, according to Garrison. The flavor profile of each vintage differs considerably from previous releases. The fall 2012 release available now has a rich, velvety, butterscotch-laden mouth-feel and a smoky hazelnut and butternut squash flavor, Garrison said. These intentional profile differences result from the choice of grains, the barrels used for aging, filtration methods, and climate and agricultural factors. Garrison boasts that he makes whiskey the old-fashioned way, by hand. “We use organic, gourmetgrade corn from the Texas Panhandle, soft red winter wheat grown right here on our farm, and barley from the Pacific Northwest and Canada. And we never chill-filter,” he said. The distillery has enjoyed widespread interest from publications such as Southern Living, Saveur, Smithsonian, The Wall Street Journal, Wine and Spirits Daily and TIME. Garrison Brothers bourbon has also received critical ac-
IRS tax suit During this time, the suit alleges that Segner failed to pay employment and/or unemployment taxes totaling $324,828. Since forming Sound Wave Electronics, LLC in March 2009, Segner — as sole member, manager and registered agent of the company — failed to file and pay federal employment taxes on five occasions totaling $17,784, according to the government’s suit. “In fact, in the time period between the first quarter of 2001 and second quarter of 2011, Mr. Segner has assessed
Stonewall Society to host meeting Tuesday night Stonewall Heritage Society will host its last meeting of the year on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. in the Stonewall Heritage Center, 175 Elberta Street (across from Burg’s Corner) in Stonewall. Speakers will discuss their involvement with Head Start, a program that began as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great Society” campaign. Stonewall was home of one of the first programs. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy the program and fellowship.
federal employment tax (941) delinquencies for 29 of the 42 quarters his businesses were in operation,” plaintiffs in the suit alleged. Additionally, the government charged Segner and his wife jointly for unpaid income taxes from 2005-2008 in the amount of $77,893.86. In May, Segner was recalled from his post by a vote of 1,163 to 844 after a petition drive
claim, winning a Silver Medal at the San Francisco Wine & Spirits Competition, Best of Category at the American Distilling Institute Awards, and a Gold Medal in the New York competition called TheFiftyBest.com. Throughout the fall, Garrison will hold tasting events at liquor stores, bars and restaurants across the state. He invites bourbon enthusiasts to come share his bourbon and allow him to write personal notes on bottles being purchased as gifts. A schedule is available at www.garrisonbros.com/ events. Garrison Brothers Distillery is a small distilled spirits plant located on a ranch and farm in Hye. It was the first legal whiskey distillery in Texas history, the first completely new bourbon distillery built since Prohibition, and outside of Kentucky and Tennessee, the only distillery in America successfully producing, from corn to cork, authentic bourbon whiskey —and only bourbon whiskey. The business, founded in 2006, is owned by the Garrison family and a small group of friends. To learn more about Garrison Brothers, or to arrange a tour, visit garrisonbros.com.

Pacific War at a later date and time. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt wanted to strike back against Japan. To do this, B-25 bombers would have to take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier, something that had never been tried. Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle’s plan was to navigate to 550 miles off the coast of Japan and bomb five major Japanese cities. On April 18, 1942 the USS Hornet carrying the B-25 bombers was spotted by a Japanese patrol 700 miles from Japan. Doolittle ordered
to launch immediately, even though they were 150 miles further out than planned. Low on fuel after the raid some parachuted out into Japanese territory, while other crashed landed in Japanese held China. Chinese soldiers helped rescue some the crew members. Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery. Guests can learn more about the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders, and see a B-25 like the ones used in the raid, at the National Museum of the Pacific War.

Domestic violence victim child without having any higher expectations.” When a child is degraded, belittled and harmed emotionally or physically, an expectation was created and then they become tough bullies and abusers and possibly criminals or they become victims. “Either way, I believe the tipping point of a person’s psyche is in the slaughtering of their spirit,” Sheila said. “Moving forward in life, as the product of this kind of environment, a child equates these types of behavior with love,” she said. “They become the abuser or the victim and the never-ending cycle of hell continues.” As Sheila grew in adulthood, she married her childhood sweetheart, who eventually lied, cheated and did drugs. “I woke up one day in a small house with guns between the mattresses and a cocaine dealer for a husband lying in bed next to me. I took him to rehab. He thanked me by getting out of rehab, spitting in my face and ending up at a bar hours later,” Sheila said. “It took several attempts, but we divorced shortly thereafter,” she said. And, to think, she said, “I chose him.” After 10 years, she wed to another man who would later beat up a neighbor for simply saying “hello” to her. Excruciatingly jealous, he accused Sheila of sleeping with everyone — including the mailman. The domination didn’t stop there. “He pushed me over the back of the couch when I told him I was pregnant,” she said. “He dragged me into the kitchen to cut off my hand for a diamond ring I had purchased.” “He slugged me in the face when I was holding our newborn,” Sheila said. “He stole my furniture, borrowed my sister’s car to go sleep with another woman and would rip the phones out of the wall and take off with our cell phone and vehicle when he would hurt me so I couldn’t turn him in or get help, as we often lived out of town.”

What it means to be a ‘survivor’
Cont. from A1 “Help them feel good about themselves by encouraging them to get through each day and believe in themselves consistently. Offer them what you can and give, if you can. Give time, food, money, shelter, resources and point them directly to the Needs Council, if they live in Gillespie County. Drive them there if necessary. It is life changing,” she said. “These tender mercies build strength — and strength builds resolve. All human beings need love. You do not have to accept someone’s lifestyle to be a friend to them. Show them, if you are able, what ‘healthy’ women choose,” she said. Whatever happens, she cautioned, do not put that person or their children in harm’s way. Instead, help them to see what all human beings should expect for their selves and be patient. “Currently, you can see something they cannot. We can all learn, and nothing teaches like love. Remember, it was a failure of this very thing that brought them to this broken place,” Sheila said. For those who are currently in an abusive relationship, she said: “God bless you. You are not what you were raised to believe you are. You are much more and you are stronger than you know. Courage is a good thing. Change will set you free. Be smart, though. Always be smart — and be safe. If you break free, learn to choose a healthy relationship or just be by yourself and expand your horizons with education, music, art, etc. Happiness is overdue to you. Seek better for yourself and pass it on — there are generations counting on you. Oh, and perfection is a fallacy — lighten up on yourself.”
For one Fredericksburg woman, it took most of her life to break out of the cycle of domestic violence that included a childhood that still haunts her and two abusive marriages. She’s leading a better life now, remarried to a non-violent man and running a successful business, and opened up this week to share her story with the Standard-Radio Post in an effort to create domestic abuse awareness. But, what does it mean to be a “survivor?” She took some time to reflect, then answered: • It means my children will not be writing an article like this one day. • It means I am not afraid to. • It means that, even if no one else likes it, I am worthy of living a life free from the hell of abuse — verbal and otherwise. • It means I am responsible to leave a legacy of hope rather than a path of destruction. • It means that I don’t accept or continue to live in my sorry excuse for an upbringing and the generations of dysfunction before me. • It means that I am raising my children on purpose — for a purpose — and that purpose is to be in a safe place, loved and to show the strength of love to others, including, and especially, to their children.

Domestic violence victim
THERE TO HELP — Angela Keller offers counseling to a domestic violence victim during a private session at the Hill Country
Cont. from A1
Community Needs Council, 209 South Acorn Street. — Standard-Radio Post Photo by Lisa Treiber-Walter
Know the warning signs Wondering what defines an abusive relationship? Violators dole out non-violent behavior, as well as violent Not sure what extends beyond the normal ups and downs of a relationship and into the realm of “abuse”? According to Hill Country CARES (Community Awareness Resources Education Services,) the following are the warning signs that a person is in an abusive relationship that could lead to their injury and even death: • Jealousy — An abuser may question who their partner talks to, accuse their partner of flirting and not want a partner to spend time with friends and family. • Controlling behaviors — An abuser may want to know where his partner is at all times and have control over how his partner dresses, how the partner spends her time and how she spends money. • Quick involvement — An abuser may come on strong and pressure a partner to commit quickly. He will claim he “can’t live without you.” In reality, he wants to make sure he has you all to himself. • Unrealistic expectations — An abuser may hold his partner responsible for his well being and he may be dependent on his partner for all his needs. But, he will not allow his partner to have the same expectations of him.
• Isolation — An abuser will not want his partner to listen to anyone else but him. He wants to define his partner’s reality. He will be insulting toward his partner’s friends, family and coworkers in order to discredit them. • Blames others for his problems — An abuser may think he is never wrong and that everything is everyone else’s fault. He often is paranoid and won’t take responsibility for his own behavior. • Unpredictable mood swings — An abuser may be emotionally volatile…nice one minute and then exploding with fury the next. • Cruelty to children or animals — An abuser may scare children or do things that are harmful to children and animals. He may say he is only teasing, but he actually enjoys inflicting cruelty on others. • Sexual abuse — An abuser may demand sex at his convenience, even if a partner is too tired or ill.

may believe that women are inferior to men and, therefore, should “serve” men. • Past abuse — An abuser uses violence and abuse to problem-solve. If he has been violent and abusive with other women, he will be with his current partner. • Threats of violence — An abuser may use the threat of violence just as effectively as actual violence. Threats should be taken seriously because they will eventually lead to violence. • Breaking or throwing objects — An abuser may use this behavior as another means of control. It serves to scare his partner or to punish her by breaking something meaningful to her. • Use of force — An abuser may hold a partner down, keep her from leaving a room or grab her during an argument to make his point. In an emergency, dial 9-11. For help at other times, call the Hill Country Community Needs Council hotline at 830-997-HELP (9974357) or the toll-free number 1-888-621-0047.
killing of a woman, especially by her domestic partner — was attempted as recently here as last month. Back on Sept. 3, a 35-yearold estranged husband broke into his 24-year-old pregnant wife’s barricaded home and attempted multiple times to shoot her in the torso and head with a homemade, double-barreled rifle loaded with 12-gauge shotgun shells. When the gun failed repeatedly, he became further enraged and struck her on the head with the gun and then boxed her with his fist and pulled her hair. She fought back, eventually escaping his grip, running out of her home and down the street to get help. “All that started off with emotional abuse” before it led to such extreme circumstances, said Angela Keller, Licensed Professional Counselor — Intern, with the Hill Country Community Needs Council. “And that’s why we have to prevent this,” she said. Keller said October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and the community is encouraged to wear purple on Mondays to create more awareness of the issue. “I want people to know that it is okay to speak up against this behavior. We need to. Awareness is about prevention. We can’t have prevention if we do the same thing over and over again,” she said. “This is everyone’s problem,” said Keller, who said she has “a passion” for helping abuse victims and has been working at the Needs Council since August 2010 to fill the position vacated by counselor Moira Elmore, who retired after 15 years of service. Keller said if someone suspects a friend is in an abusive relationship from the warning signs (see related article,) then she should tell her “Look, I don’t want to intrude, but I am concerned for your safety.” Many abuse victims will initially be embarrassed or ashamed or even possibly make excuses for their abuser’s behavior. “But, still, let them know. This is not healthy,” she said. Abuse is not limited to the stereotypical physical or sexual assaults, she said. “It
just doesn’t start off in relationships with the physical. Most abuse starts of emotionally or psychologically, usually through verbal abuse,” Keller said. Abusers can control their partner’s daily activities, snooping and checking up on them, or humiliating them in front of their friends with name calling. “We’ve seen a huge increase in teen abuse,” by teenagers and who they are dating. For young people, it can come in the form of someone flooding their cell phone with text messages or voicemails.
...their love is not reciprocated. The love they thought they were receiving is actually control and power.’ - Angela Keller, Needs Council counselor
NEED HELP?
Call 24/7 997-HELP (997-4357) or 1-888-621-0047 “Abuse is a learned behavior,” Keller said. Most abusers learn by watching their parents’ relationships. Abuse crosses all boundaries of social groups, economic parameters, ethnicities, religious cultures and levels of education. Of children who witness domestic violence, 60 percent of boys eventually become batterers and 50 percent of girls become victims. The behavior they witness becomes what they expect as normal behavior, she explained. “I usually don’t see abuse victims in this office until it has gotten so bad that the physical abuse has started or someone has told them that’s not healthy behavior and they begin to question that,” Keller said. “The woman has to realize when enough is enough and what is best for her and, if she has children, what is best for her children,” she said. If a woman is in imminent
danger, she can call the police and they will escort her and her children to a women’s abuse shelter in Kerrville. Or, they can phone the hotline 997-HELP. If she needs to retrieve possessions from her home, the police do a civil standby so she can gather them safely, and the county attorney provides assistance in getting protective orders. The Hill Country CARES shelter in Kerrville “does an excellent job of helping women from Gillespie County,” Keller said. From September 2011 through August of 2012, some 118 clients from this county were served with counseling, advocacy and shelter services. Statewide, 223,000 Texans called domestic violence hotlines in the year and programs served nearly 80,000 adults and children. Women who question whether or not they are in an abusive relationship or who need counseling (including in Spanish) may call the Needs Council at 997-9576. On the average, it takes an abuse victim seven times of leaving her abuser before she gets out for good. If they don’t have a full safety plan, Keller said, many times the woman comes back because: her abuser has made her so dependent on his finances that she cannot survive on her own, her abuser threatens to harm or claim sole custody of her children if she doesn’t return and the abuse victim often feels love for her abuser. “They need to realize that their love is not being reciprocated. The love they thought they were receiving is actually control and power,” Keller said. While hoping more abuse victims make a change for the better, Keller said it is the community’s job to look out for each other. “The best advocates can be your best friend. Guys can do some things to help, too. When they hear another guy bragging about what he’s done to control his woman, they can speak up against it,” she said. “It is our goal to make domestic abuse unacceptable behavior,” Keller said.

Vereins Kirche offering temporary immigrant exhibit
And don’t let excuses get in the way Last weekend my husband shared a favorite story at a fundraising event to which we had been invited. He attended Texas A&M University and earned a degree in agriculture economics. One semester he was taking a class titled “Real Estate and Land Economics,” which was taught by Dr. Ivan Schmedeman, now a resident of Kerrville. Upon nearing the final exam, Dr. Schmedeman made his students an interesting proposition. He announced that taking the final exam would be optional. If a student chose to take the exam and their score resulted in lowering their grade average for the class, the score would be thrown out. However, if they took the exam and their score raised their grade average, the score would be counted. Not taking the exam would result in accepting one’s current grade average. Knowing a good test score could tip his course grade up a letter, my husband chose to prepare for and take the final exam. He ended up being one of only three, out a class of about 80 students, to accept Dr. Schmedeman’s no-risk
A temporary exhibit is open now through Thursday, Nov. 1, at the Vereins Kirche, located at the heart of Marktplatz. “Lone Star and Eagle: German Immigration to Texas” focuses on German immigrants, who, in the 1840s, began settling in New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, Sisterdale and other Hill Country locations. As they established these communities, they imparted a distinct character on them. “Lone Star and Eagle” features reproductions of archival photographs, newspaper headlines, maps and paintings that tell the story of those settlers who became known for their individual and communal industry in setting down roots and adapting ways of the old country to life in a new world. Admission to the Vereins Kirche, located in the center of Marktplatz, is free. Donations will be accepted, however, to defray shipping costs of the exhibit. The exhibit is by Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Humanities Texas develops and supports diverse programs across the state, including lectures, oral history projects, teacher institutes, traveling exhibitions and documentary films. For more information, visit Humanities Texas online at www.humanitiestexas.org or call 512-440-1991. More information about viewing hours or about arranging group visits is available by contacting Evelyn Weinheimer, who is in charge of the Gillespie County Historical Society’s archives, programs and tours, at 997-2835.

Then one day it hit me: taking on the challenge of restoring this unique and historical setting could be my next adventure,” Hoover
said. “You look in every direction from Rocky Hill and you see the images of classic Texas Hill Country.” The Rocky Hill complex consists of six B&B units, each named after a historic schoolhouse in the Fredericksburg area, and accommodations include a gourmet breakfast served onsite. The Event Center is a venue for weddings, family reunions and small corporate retreats and can host up to 100 people in the setting minutes away from downtown Fredericksburg. The Collections at Rocky Hill
features an eclectic collection of works by Texas artists and merchants, while Miss Lavender’s Room offers vintage, one-of-a-kind treasures from the past. Rebecca Rather’s Pink Pig, a new eatery offering Texas casual cuisine and live music on the outdoor patio, will open in early November. Developing the Rocky Hill vision was a collaborative effort. Hoover recruited Maggie McInnis, Betsy Mulder and Kim Mobley to help make his dream a reality after working closely with McInnis and

Food and Wine Fest nearing Oct. 27 Texas’ best tastes to be on display at annual event on Marktplatz Texas’ best gourmet dishes and “fruit of the vine” will return here on Saturday, Oct. 27, during the 22nd Annual Fredericksburg Food and Wine Fest on Marktplatz. The one-day event from noon to 7 p.m. will once again offer what amounts to a wine tour of some 30 Texas Hill Country wineries — all without ever leaving the downtown square. General admission will be $20 per adult, which includes a souvenir festival glass, six sampling tickets, Texas specialty booths, Texas wineries, an auction, entertainment, cooking school sessions, food court access and the Gargantuan Great Grape Toss and Great Grape Fun. (Additional sampling tickets may be purchased.) Those under 21 years of age will be admitted at a cost of $5 each, while those under the age of 12 will be admitted free of charge. While Texas Hill Country wineries will pour samples,
gourmet food vendors will offer samples and for purchase such products as salsas, jams and jellies, seasonings and spices, nuts, dipping oils, olive oils, toffee, tea, chocolates, cheeses and more. Other vendors will offer lavender products, hand-painted wine glasses, candles and other gift items. There will be two cooking sessions featuring three chefs each. The “Grape Expectations” cooking school sessions are $10 each or both for $20. Seating is limited to 150. New this year will be the “Vintner’s Experience! Meet the Wine Maker” from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the Kinder Halle pavilion on the square. During the session, guests will have an opportunity to sample a white, red and rose wine, all the while learning about it from a personal conversation with the winemaker. Cost will be $15 per person. Tickets are available online or
at the Fest souvenir booth on the day of the event. Each wine maker will pour a two-ounce sample of one of his/her Texas wines (which will not be available in the general wine pavilion). Then, guests will have an opportunity to purchase a bottle of that wine. Participating wineries include Becker Vineyards, Fredericksburg Winery and Grape Creek Vineyards. Musical entertainment will include El Tule, Ponty Bone & The Squeezetones and The Flashbacks. There will also be a silent auction with numerous packages filled with items donated by participating wineries and vendors, as well as local retailers. Organizers are planning three special events for this year’s festival. All have limited seating and tickets for them are sold only in advance. “Locavore” will be held Thursday, Oct. 25, at Messina
Hof Hill Country featuring everything local. Tickets will be $60 per person. “A Celebration of Texas Food and Wine” is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 26, at Fredericksburg Herb Farm. Tickets are $75 per person, which includes admission to the fest on Saturday. And, the Food and Wine Fest Patron Party is set to kick off things just prior to opening on Saturday. Tickets to the event, which will feature food by local caterer Delicious Details, are available for $100 per person and include fest admission and additional tickets for wine tastings. More information on the event and advance ticket purchase is available by contacting the Fest Office at 830-997-8515, or at www.fbgfoodandwinefest.com. The City of Fredericksburg is host of this event, from which proceeds are used for the continued beautification of Marktplatz.
Auditor scores A+ for Fischer & Wieser food safety International food manufacturing auditor Silliker posted an audit score of 97.7 percent last Wednesday for Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc. on the ICIX Compliance Suite, which reports food safety as well as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements. Silliker is accredited as a certification body for the Safe Quality Food (SQF) program of the Food Marketing Institute (FMI). Fischer & Wieser manufactures gourmet lines of jellies, mustards, salsas and sauces and has received a Silliker score above 97 percent for five years in a row. Fischer & Wieser Chief Operating Officer Jenny Wieser,
Ph.D., said every employee of the specialty food company has an integral role in securing the high score. “Our team works hard to keep everything well maintained, and we have an ongoing system of training to assure that everyone knows and follows all food safety rules,” she said. “We feel confident in our processes, and we are proud of our continuing commitment to sustaining the highest food safety standards.” Silliker audits combine a host of recognized industry practices and principles, as well as recommendations from the National Advisory Committee for Microbiological Criteria in Foods, Food
and Drug Administration and United States Department of Agriculture. Audit evaluations involve a systems review as well as a physical assessment of the facility in the implementation of food safety and quality systems procedures. Wieser said Fischer & Wieser voluntarily undergoes periodic independent audit scrutiny as part of their commitment to the manufacture of high-quality specialty foods using sustainable business practices and environmental consciousness. “The commitment that all of our team members have to making a quality product was started by our Chairman Mark Wieser when he sold
the first peach from his family’s orchard 40 years ago,” said Fischer & Wieser Chief Executive Officer and President Case D. Fischer. “His philosophy was: ‘Create a quality product and people will embrace it.’ His approach has proven successful for us and is still the backbone of our company today.” Established in 1969, Fischer & Wieser sells more than a hundred specialty foods products in specialty food retail stores, as well as club and grocery markets around the world, and the company is headquartered in Fredericksburg. More information can be found on the company website at www.jelly.com.

Local marching bands stand out at tune ups for UIL contests
FHS takes top 3A band in two competitions; Harper is outstanding Class A entry
Tuned up and ready to make a repeat run at state, the Fredericksburg High School Marching Band will compete in the University Interscholastic League Region XI Marching Contest on Saturday, Oct. 20. Local Billie supporters are invited to visit the Hondo High School Stadium in Hondo to cheer on “The Pride of the Hill Country” in the band’s 6:15 p.m. performance. The Harper High School band will also compete earlier that same day and Longhorn supporters can applaud their show on the field for a 1:30 p.m. performance. This year, only Class 3A (which includes Fredericksburg) and Class 5A bands are eligible to advance beyond region. As a Class 1A band, Harper was eligible to advance last year and made it all the way to the UIL State Marching Band Contest preliminary round before bowing out. FHS Band Fresh off two first-place wins in separate marching contests held Saturday in San Antonio, the FHS Marching Band will compete in the fifth slot out of 12 Class 3A bands in competition. “It should be a good contest on Saturday and we’re looking forward to it,” said FHS Head Band Director John Rauschuber. The schedule at the region contest calls for performances every 15 minutes, starting at 5:15 p.m. with Poteet and continuing, in order, with: Bandera, Crystal City, Pleasanton, (Fredericksburg), Boerne, Lytle, Devine, Somerset, Pearsall, Carrizo Springs and the host, Hondo. Serving as judges will be John Bridges, Forrester Halamicek and Paul Fullerton. The 135 FHS Band student musicians, accompanied by 10 band managers, will step onto the field to perform “Angels in the Architecture” by Frank Ticheli. Kicking off the performance is the voice of FHS junior Madison Grumbles, who performs live via microphone headset while also dancing across the field and up a platform as the “angel” of the show. Grumbles was a gold medalist at the UIL Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest her sophomore year and a silver medalist her freshman year. This year, she was first alternate to the Region 11 All-Region Mixed Choir. The band is led by drum majors Josh Sanchez, Ariana Detmar and Karson Melcer.
Directors include Rauschuber, James Buxton, Susie Jaksik, Brad Bryant, Dani Rauschuber and Brandi Wooten. The color guard technician is Felicia DeLeon and percussion tech is Rob Grote. The band, which recently won the title of the Texas State Honor Band, will be competing to earn high enough marks to advance to the UIL Area Marching Contest set Saturday, Oct. 27, at Calallen High School in Corpus Christi. Should they perform well enough there, they could hope to secure a spot in the UIL State Marching Contest slated Nov. 5-6 in San Antonio’s Alamodome. The current band still contains members of the 2010 band that made school history by securing a spot among Texas top 10 Class 3A bands after advancing to the state finals that season. This past Saturday, Oct. 13, the band won twin first places in two separate marching competitions. Judson Rocket Review At the Judson Rocket Review in the morning, the FHS Band took perfect 1s in scoring to beat out other Class 3A competitors Pearsall, in second, and Carrizo Springs, in third. The band came home with not only the overall trophy, but also was cited for “Outstanding Percussion” and “Outstanding Color Guard” in 3A competition. Judges included Beth Bronk from Texas Lutheran University; Mary Ellen Cavit from Texas State University; Mark Waymire from the University of Southern Mississippi; Tyler Berget from Taft High School in San Antonio, and Jim Ragsdale from MacArthur in San Antonio. “Very nice, aggressive marching style,” stated Bronk, also commending the FHS Band for its “very well written visual package with some minor flaws
that should be cleaned before UIL.” Cavit also said: “This band plays very musically and communicates this well with the audience. The tone quality is good and intonation is good most of the time.” Harlandale Band Festival At the Harlandale High School Band Festival in the afternoon, the local squad was the only band to score perfect “1” rankings across the panel of three judges, as well as the only band in its division to score a “1” ranking from any of the judges. FHS’ top-notch performance saw it out-score other Class 3A competitors: Pearsall, which took second place; Hondo-third place; Boerne-fourth place; Lytle-fifth place; Llano-sixth place; Devine-seventh place, and Somerset-eighth place. In addition to winning the overall division title, FHS’ musicians and guard were also recognized with the following awards: “Outstanding Percussion,” “Outstanding Color Guard,” “Outstanding Brass” and “Outstanding Woodwind” in Class 3A. Serving as judges for Saturday’s Harlandale show were: Daniel Aleman, retired director from Pearsall; Charlie Munsell, retired director from Spring Branch; Charles Arsuaga, retired director from Falfurrias; Genaro Gonzales, director of percussion at Texas State University, and Alex Sanchez, retired director from San Antonio. “Great tone, beautiful sounds today. Very good marching and great show overall,” commented Munsell in his critique of Saturday’s performance. “This band has many fine qualities,” added Arsuaga. “You played so musically — great taste — tempo, style, articulation, etc…A well-designed and executed show, especially the end! Awesome! Enjoyed your performance.” The FHS show also had a
“very challenging percussion book that is handled very well,” said Gonzales. Harper Band Also turning in a winning experience last Saturday, Oct. 13, the Harper High School Marching Band will hope to carry its momentum from Austin’s Westlake High School Marching Festival into this Saturday’s UIL Region XI UIL Marching Contest in Hondo. The Longhorns will take to the field at 1:30 p.m. as one of the eight Class A bands scheduled for judging. Harper will step off third after Rocksprings at 1 p.m. and LaPryor at 1:15 p.m. With a new band and show stepping onto the field every 15 minutes, scheduled to march after Harper (in order) are: Brackett, Charlotte, D’Hanis, Nueces Canyon and Sabinal. Westlake Marching Festival Participating in the A/2A grouping at the Westlake event, Harper captured several awards, including: “Outstanding Drum Line,” “Outstanding Color Guard,” “Outstanding Music,” “Outstanding Marching” and the “Outstanding Class A Band” awards. This year’s program for the Harper Marching Band is entitled, “Exploration, Discovery and Conquest,” and features the following compositions: “Zarathustra Fanfare” from 2001: A Space Odyssey by Richard Strauss; “The Planets — Mars and Jupiter,” by Gustav Holst; “The Bach Fugue in G-Minor,” by Johann Sebastian Bach, and “The 1812 Overture” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The 39-member Harper band is under the field direction of drum majors Dennis Land and Amber Rauhut. Directing the Harper band are Charles Sander and Joseph Allen.
Free movie fest screening tonight at Odeon in Mason The Hill Country Film Festival (HCFF), an annual independent film event in Fredericksburg, has partnered with the Texas Independent Film Network and the Odeon Theater in Mason to screen independent films made in the Lone Star State.

Work now under way on ‘Hometown guitar hero’ returns Gillespie County Airport US 290 stretch between Saturday to Crossroads Saloon grand reopening tonight Crossroads Steakhouse and Stonewall, Fredericksburg Saloon to showcase upgrades will welcome “homeWork is under way on a 2.75mile stretch of U.S. Highway 290 between Stonewall and Fredericksburg to add a 14foot continuous left turn lane, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. The widening project stretches from Jenschke Lane, just outside of Stonewall, west to Jung Lane. Contractor for the $3.48 million project is Matl Construction of Austin. Work is expected to be completed in approximately eight
months by the summer of 2013. “The continuous center turn lane acts as a median between oncoming traffic, and also gives turning traffic a safe haven out of the mainstream of traffic while they are maneuvering,” explained a spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation. The spokesman added, “It is a good improvement for promoting safety and eliminating one cause of wrecks while promoting better traffic flow.”
FVFD to host Halloween open house, safety fair Fredericksburg Volunteer Fire Department members will host a Halloween open house from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31 at the main fire station on Marktplatz. “The fire station will be open on Halloween for visits from any local trick-or-treaters and their parents,” said Frank Stead, FVFD spokesman. The fire department will sponsor a safety fair with participation from local service providers, including Atmos Energy, Fredericksburg Volunteers in Police Service,
Central Texas Electric Cooperative, Sutherlands Lumber Company, American Red Cross-Central Texas Chapter and the Fredericksburg High School Medical Reserve Corps. “This will be a fun event for children and parents, and we will provide handouts and safety demonstrations from the participating organizations,” Stead said. Stead said signups for free smoke detector installations will be available from the FVFD. For more information, call FVFD at 830-997-5603.

We are preparing for even more participants this year.” The 5K and 10K begin at 8:30 a.m. and the cost is $20 for early registration. The Fun Run begins at 10 a.m. and costs $10.

Gillespie County Sheriff ’s report Continuing with a busy fall, officers with the Gillespie County Sheriff ’s Office (GCS) responded to a total of 125 calls from Oct. 8-15. According to Chief Deputy Jim Judd, county law enforcement officers investigated the unattended death of 41-yearold Chad Hildreth of Fredericksburg and Austin, after his body was discovered by family members Sunday evening at his residence on Upper Liveoak Road. Following the medical examiner’s findings and further investigation, the death was ruled accidental, Judd said. Also over the week, deputies were called out to assist the Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers on an accident that was initially classified as a major at 12000 U.S. Highway 290 East. While it was a one-vehicle rollover, it resulted in no injuries, Judd said. Deputies also responded to the report of a burglary of a building in the 23000 block
of U.S. Highway 290 West of Harper. Forced entry was made to a pedestrian door and items inside the structure were moved around, but nothing was reported stolen. Oct. 8-15 • 3 911 hang up calls. • 2 alarms. • 11 animal calls. • 9 arrests. • 1 burglary. • 14 citations and warnings. • 8 civil disturbances. • 7 disturbances. • 16 civil process cases. • 4 cases of criminal mischief. • 1 D.O.A. • 1 report of debris on roadway. • 1 major accident. • 4 minor accidents. •10 prisoner transports. • 1 public assist. • 7 reports of reckless drivers. • 1 suspected DWI. • 15 reports of suspicious activity. • 2 warrants served. • 6 welfare concerns. There were 21 people booked into jail during the week and, as of Monday, there were 35 inmates in Gillespie County custody.
Fredericksburg police handle 156 calls for service Fredericksburg Police Department (FPD) officers responded to 156 calls from Oct. 8-14, including two assaults, one stolen vehicle, one burglary of a vehicle and two thefts. Assaults According to Chief Paul Oestreich, officers with his department responded to two assaults over the past week. One involved a juvenile and so information is not made public and the other incident involved a victim who has chosen not to pursue charges at this time. Burglary of a vehicle On Sept. 30, at 2:19 a.m. a report of suspicious suspects checking doors on vehicles in the Hampton Inn parking lot was reported to police. At the time, nothing was reported missing from the vehicles. However, on Oct. 11, after further investigation into the case, officers discovered that suspects had entered vehicles at Barons Creek on South Washington Street, the Hampton Inn and Brentwood Oak Apartments add taken personal items, including an iphone and GPS unit. The FPD investigation led to citations issued to five 14-year-old males, whose names and other details are withheld because they are minors. Stolen vehicle On Friday, Oct. 12, at around 12:45 p.m., an officer was dispatched to Oak Hills Church, 224 Tivydale Road, in reference to a stolen vehicle. Reported taken was a 1994 white Mazda truck bearing Texas license plates CC8R274 and registered to Michael McClellan of Fredericksburg. McClellan told police the truck had a hole in the front
grill from where it hit a deer. He also said the truck had a fox sticker on the middle of the back window and a sticker that said “You’ll get through this.” The owner said the truck also had several dents and dings all over its body and it had been parked around the backside of the church building for some time. The last time someone saw the truck in its rightful place was on Thursday, at around 2 p.m. The following day, on Oct. 12, at around 3:20 p.m., the same officer was dispatched to GWI Self Storage, 312 Friendship Lane, where the stolen vehicle was located in one of the storage units there. The owner of the units had noticed the unit’s door partially open and he observed the vehicle inside and called it into police. The officer then observed that there was a six-disc CD changer stolen from out of the back of the vehicle, while there was the addition of a bicycle that didn’t belong to the truck’s owner. The bicycle was a blue Nutra Giant and had camouflage tape on the front forks and handlebars. Thefts FPD investigators are looking into two thefts that occurred over the past week. On Thursday, Oct. 11, at 12:34 p.m., an officer was dispatched to Stripes, 2204 South Texas Highway 16 for the report of a shoplifter taking approximately $10 in merchandise and placing the items (a Red Bull drink, a burrito and a candy bar) into a purse and then leaving the store without paying. The store requested a criminal
trespass notice to be served on the subject. On Thursday, Oct. 11, at 9:13 p.m. an officer was dispatched to the Diamond Food Mart, 1001 South Texas Highway. In the course of identifying possible suspects on the scene, dispatch advised that one of those suspects had active warrants. The suspect was arrested on two warrants. While on the scene, investigating the theft, money that was thought to have been stolen was located. Arrests FPD officers arrested seven individuals over the course of the week for the following offenses: •1 Driving While Intoxicated; •1 Driving While Intoxicated – 2nd offense, plus Driving While License invalid with Previous Conviction; •2 Local Warrants, and •3 Public Intoxication.

Jail open house immediately behind the Gillespie County Law Enforcement Center, 1601 East Main Street, would house not only a 96-bed jail, but also a flexible courtroom, adult probation offices, a training center, a new dispatch center and support spaces. The current Gillespie County Jail (located behind the courthouse) is a 15-bed facility that surpassed its capacity to house inmates back in 1992, when it began to transport and house prisoners at out-of-county detention centers. Through the years, the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS) has cited Gillespie County for its overcrowding issues. The local jail is open now only under waivers, which may or may not be continued by the TCJS. With the population growth of Gillespie County, including spikes for visitors on special events and holidays, the jail currently has grown to an average prisoner population of 32 inmates per day. The cost to house the excess inmate population elsewhere is to the tune of an estimated $370,000 per year. A $2.4 million bond election for a proposed new 48bed jail facility to be rebuilt in the downtown area was held in 1992 and failed by a 2-to-1 margin. About two years ago, county commissioners began to revisit and reinvestigate the possibility of building a new jail. In 2010, commissioners hired Justice Concepts Incorporated to conduct a jail study. The independent firm’s
Cont. from A1
findings recommended that the county build a 96-bed jail, along with an incorporated dispatch area, courtroom and adult probation office. A separate finding by the TCJS reported that Gillespie County needs to build at least a 72-bed capacity jail, with a planned expansion in the future, in order to keep up with its current jail population and allow for more growth in the community in the years to come. In October, 2011, county officials hired Vanir Construction Management, Inc., (and with it project director, Gloria Barrera) to facilitate the jail facility planning. Copies of Barrera’s PowerPoint presentation of the events that have occurred in the planning stages to date are available on the county’s website: www.gillespiecounty.org. Just a month after hiring Vanir, commissioners appointed a jail facilities committee to study the jail issue. Comprised of civic leaders, elected officials and law enforcement personnel, the committee visited jails in Kerr, Blanco and Bandera counties, reviewed Gillespie’s needs and identified associated needs. After three months, the committee also recommended a 96-bed jail that included a “flex” courtroom, dispatch area, adult probation offices and training room/potential emergency operations center that could accommodate the county’s needs for the next 30 years, according to Barrera. In the spring of this year, Wiginton Hooker Jeffry Ar-

Roger Hansen said Friday. As is standard, fuel sales were suspended while fuel was tested, but no problems were discovered. The Robinson R44 copter had left the Gillespie County Airport at approximately 7:30 p.m., and an emergency beacon was activated at 8 p.m., according to the Kendall County Sheriff ’s Office. The helicopter was owned by Veracity Aviation of Seguin, a flight school based at Huber Air Park in Seguin. The helicopter was on its way from Midland to Seguin.
A search was held through the night involving the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Parks and Wildlife, area volunteer fire department and emergency personnel, and the Kendall County Sheriff ’s Office. Just after sunrise, the crash was located by a pilot in another aircraft who guided ground personnel to the scene, a heavily wooded rural area with rough terrain. The Texas DPS, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

chitects, in conjunction with the Fredericksburg firm of Stehling Klein Thomas Architects, were hired by the county to provide schematic design services. They developed multiple designs from which commissioners selected one to move forward. The architects’ renderings of the proposed jail center are also available for viewing on the county’s website. With those schematics, it was determined that the total project budget would be $14,982,370, which covers construction, furnishing and equipping, site work, professional fees and costs of issuance of the bonds, Barrera said. If the public agrees to the bond issue, she continued, the projected tax rate increase for those whose property taxes are not frozen would be 6.2 cents per $100 valuation (which includes the debt tax rate of 4.5 cents per $100 valuation and an additional 1.7 cents per $100 valuation for maintenance and operations.) If voters approve the jail project, the design resumes and the county will go out to bid on the project in June 2013. Construction would be completed in October of 2014, with occupancy by county personnel in December 2014. Of the planned two-story structure, the jail facility would be completely located on the first floor, while adult probation offices, a flex courtroom and other spaces would be located upstairs. While TCJS initially recommended 72 beds for Gillespie County, its oversight rules call for a supervision level the same for 72 beds as it is for 96
beds. If Gillespie County built a 48-bed jail, as was proposed in 1992, the current inmate population dictates that the county would still need to house inmates out-of-county, she said. Taking that into consideration, plus the support spaces such as the kitchen, medical area, laundry and exercise room that are dictated by prisoner population, “It is more cost-effective to build the whole jail at one time” and it would accommodate growth for the next 30 years, Barrera said. In addressing housing prisoners out of county, Mills has stated that the county contracts with Kerr County and other jails at an average rate of $40-45 per prisoner per day. But that figure is only the contract price for space. The price increases when you factor in the cost of the time spent by deputies (on the average of $20 per hour), plus the fuel and the wear-and-tear on patrol units necessary for transporting prisoners. Mills also noted that any time spent transporting prisoners to the courts or between detention facilities is time that a deputy is not in Gillespie County in service locally. The cost to house a prisoner in Gillespie County currently is $165 per prisoner per day, according to Jail Administrator Jim Foraker. That is because the county has so little occupancy (15 beds) to divide operational costs. A new jail, if occupied at a 65-inmate level, would cost an estimated $89 per prisoner per day, Mills said.

Another homecoming for FHS With apologies, Boerne invites Fredericksburg over to play By Matt Ward Boerne head football coach Mike Dormady called Fredericksburg head football coach Lance Moffett to apologize earlier this week. Due to conflicts with their original date earlier in the season, Dormady said he was sorry that his Greyhounds would have to schedule their homecoming game this Friday evening against the Billies, who are 2-0 this season in homecoming games after wins over Brady and Llano.
scheme with three defensive linemen and four linebackers. “If they’re not worried about you catching the ball, they’re going to keep extra defenders in to stop the run,” Moffett said. “We’re going to have to force them to get out of that by catching the ball.” Moffett’s highest praise for any Greyhound player went to senior kicker Taylor Knopf, who the FHS head coach called “an NFL-caliber tal-
ent.” “He can make a field goal from anywhere,” Moffett said. “He normally kicks the kickoff through the uprights, and that plays to our advantage with the new rule change with the ball spotted at the 25 yard line (on kickoff touchbacks).” Winning the game will require keeping scoring on both sides to a minimum, the FHS head coach said.

Billies at Greyhounds
Fredericksburg takes home back-to-back tourney titles
7:30 p.m. — Friday Boerne ISD Stadium Boerne homecoming Fredericksburg served as Boerne’s homecoming opponent last year, when the Greyhounds defeated the Billies 42-14. While the game will have added incentive for Boerne, Moffett said he expects his team to treat the contest like just another game, a mentality that helped propel FHS to a four-game winning streak before a 27-17 loss to Canyon Lake last week in the District 27-3A opener for both schools. “They were very disappointed in themselves and us as a group that we lost,” he said. “The neat thing about district play is that if you have a game like we did on Friday night (against Canyon Lake), then you have a chance to redeem yourself quickly.” Like Fredericksburg, Boerne fell in their district opener last week, losing to Navarro 28-14. In non-district play, the Greyhounds went 3-2, earning wins over Medina Valley (49-47), Llano (35-27) and Lytle (42-8) while falling to Hondo (28-24) and San Antonio Antonian (37-30). The Greyhound offense will be led by Dormady’s son Quinten, who has thrown for 1,654 yards and 15 touchdowns in Boerne’s pass-heavy spread attack. Running back Bryce Collins leads the Boerne ground attack with 676 yards and nine touchdowns on the year. “It’s hard to get a good pass rush on them,” Moffett said, noting that Boerne’s no-huddle offense makes it difficult for defenses as the Greyhounds line up quickly and then have the option to snap the ball or look to the sideline for a different play call, disrupting the defense’s rhythm. “We’ve got to be lined up correctly and know where we’re supposed to be,” he added. Boerne operates out of a standard ‘50’ defensive
With their playoff berth clinched, the Fredericksburg High School varsity volleyball team will look to secure second place in the District 27-3A standings as they travel to Boerne Friday evening for a 5 p.m. match. A win against the Greyhounds, who are tied with FHS for second place in the district at 6-2, would give the Billies a tie-breaker advantage over Boerne as Fredericksburg defeated Boerne in the first round of district play. “Second place in this district is nothing to hang our head about,” Fredericksburg head coach Jason Roemer said. “We are going to have to go in a tough gym and play well to get the win on Friday.” On Tuesday, Fredericksburg will host Bandera at 7 p.m. for Senior Night. Last week, the Billies clinched their sixth consecutive playoff berth with a 25-17, 25-18, 25-15 win over Canyon Lake Friday night, but fell at Wimberley 11-25, 20-25, 19-25 Tuesday evening. Wimberley sits at 8-0 in district play, with FHS and Boerne tied at 6-2, followed by Navarro at 3-5, Canyon Lake at 1-7 and Bandera at 0-8. Swept at Wimberley Roemer said the key to Tuesday’s 11-25, 20-25, 19-25 defeat at Wimberley was losing “the passing war.” “We really had trouble passing the ball off of their servers to the setter,” Roemer said. “We became predictable on

Junior varsity, freshmen football to face Boerne
The Fredericksburg High School junior varsity and freshmen football teams will face Boerne Thursday night with the freshmen playing on the road at 6 p.m. while the JV will host the Greyhounds at 7:30 p.m. Last Thursday, the freshmen won their sixth straight contest, defeating Canyon Lake 40-8 on the road, while the junior varsity fell at Canyon Lake 21-14 in the District 27-3A opener for both schools.

season, the FHS freshmen toppled Canyon Lake 40-8 at home Thursday evening to improve to 6-0. “The guys did a good job in all three phases of the game to get their first district win,” Coach Dusty Gibbs said. “Several people contributed offensively in the running and passing games to get us off to a good start.” “We had a big interception return (by Dylan Hellums) for a TD early that helped us jump out to that early first quarter lead and then the defense kept Canyon Lake out of the end zone for most of the game,” he added. Kyle Reeh rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries while throwing for 155 yards and two touchdowns on 6-8 passing. Bryce Beard and Blake Moffett both caught touchdown passes for Fredericksburg.
Fredericksburg falls in district opener St. Mary’s to host adult Mistakes spell end to Billies’ four game winning streak in 27-17 home loss By Matt Ward Kyle Grona’s jersey ripped open midway through the third quarter of the Fredericksburg High School varsity football team’s District 27-3A opener at home against Canyon Lake. When he was forced to don the No. 17 jersey, the sophomore quarterback was nearly unrecognizable for Billie fans used to seeing him in his normal No. 10. FHS fans, used to seeing Fredericksburg execute on both sides of the ball during a four-game winning streak heading into the contest, barely recognized their team, which dropped eight passes and managed to score only nine points in four red-zone trips during a 27-17 loss to Canyon Lake Friday night. “I’m not disappointed with the coaches or the kids. I am disappointed with our execution,” Fredericksburg head coach Lance Moffett said. “It doesn’t matter who you play. If you play like that, you’re going to lose. The good news is all our mistakes are things we can fix.” The FHS mentor took full credit for the loss “because I’ve got to get them ready to play. The mindset that I had that 4-1 (the Billies’ record before the game) doesn’t mean anything unless you do something in district probably put too much pressure on them to win the first district game.” Key “mistakes” led Fredericksburg to lose a game where they outplayed Canyon Lake on every statistical level except the score, Moffett said. The Billies outgained the Hawks in total offense (321308) and in rushing yardage (188-130) and forced two interceptions to just one takeaway by Canyon Lake. The Hawk interception, however, would prove critical as Doug Hubnik returned an errant FHS pass for a touchdown late in the second quarter. Canyon Lake struck first in the contest, scoring on a 56-yard pass from Branson Belcher to Hubnik with 39 seconds left in the first quar-
ter. After nearly scoring a on a pass from Grona to Kim Ross Baethge that was ruled out of the back of the end zone, Fredericksburg got on the board with 9:06 left in the second quarter on a 38-yard field goal by Omar Flores. CLHS FHS FHS 188-32 133 37-14 1 321 87 3-26.0 5-35

A Brayden Beard interception set FHS up for another scoring drive and Flores connected on a 39-yard field goal which bounced over the top of the crossbar and through, trimming the deficit to 7-6. “Omar Flores has been the player of the year on special teams,” Moffett said. The Hawks looked to extend their 14-6 lead afte an interception return for a touchdown late in the first half. But an interception in the end zone by FHS’s Sebastian Ortega ended the Canyon Lake threat as time expired. Fredericksburg’s offense came out on fire early in the second half as three long runs set up a two-yard touchdown run by Paco Martinez. A two-point conversion reception by Baethge from Grona tied the game at 14-14 with 8:03 left in the third quarter. Canyon Lake extended its next drive with a scramble by Belcher to convert on a fourth and three. That allowed Eduardo Covarrubias to score on a one-yard touchdown dive with 5:30 left in the third quarter. Flores connected on his third field goal of the night, hitting from 30 yards out with 11:12 left in the second half, to trim the deficit to 2117. But Canyon Lake added a fourth touchdown on a 10-yard pass from Belcher to Daniel Camarillo with 7:10 to play. The Billies looked to respond, driving the ball deep into Canyon Lake territory but failed to convert on a field

“I will never ever be a Mike Leach type person where just get me the ball back and let’s see if we can’t out score them If that’s your mindset, you’re putting too much pressure on the kids to not make mistakes,” Moffett said. “We have to force them to punt some and not let them force us to punt some,” Moffett said. “I think that’s what it’s going to come down to.”

goal try. Fredericksburg settled for field goal opportunities on four of their five longest possessions in the contest. “I felt like a NFL coach on Friday night. You watch an NFL game and all they do is drive down into the red zone and then kick a field goal,” Moffett said. On their touchdown drive in the third quarter, Fredericksburg converted on a fourth and short to set up the scoring run by Martinez, but FHS only managed to convert on one of their two fourth down attempts in the contest. Moffett said Monday that with the onset of district play, the mentality of what to do on fourth down inside the 20yard line changes. “It’s district. You get in the red zone and get points,” he said. “In those situations on every third down, I told Coach (Shane) Willis, if we get half of the yardage left (on third down), we’ll go for it. If we don’t get half of it back, we’ll kick a field goal.” Though the loss hurts Fredericksburg’s chances at the postseason, the FHS head coach said the overall outlook for the Billies has stayed the same. “We’ve still got four district games (to play) and I still feel the same way Saturday morning as I felt Friday afternoon that we can win any of the district games,” Moffett said. “We lost that one, so we’ve got to move on.”

Harper found out that its difficult going up against a defending state UIL Division 1, 1-A championship football team that’s still on a roll when Mason wheeled into town Friday evening. After the dust had cleared, the visiting Punchers had managed to score in every quarter on their way to a 44-0 victory over HHS in District 14-1A action. After charting a perfect 15-0 season last year on its way to the state crown, Mason has earned victories in all of its six games so far this year. Mason wasted little time in demonstrating its prowess, scoring its first touchdown on a nine-yard run by Rio Schmidt less than three minutes into the contest. Schmidt, who tallied a pair of TDs in the contest, earned 52 yards on five carries. Top rusher for the Punchers was Raul Silquero who carried the ball 16 times for 123 yards and a touchdown. Longhorn quarterback Gus Sagraves completed 13 of 32 passes for 134 yards. The most prolific receivers for Harper were Caleb Schmer• beck (five receptions for Score By Quarters 62 yards) and Brayden Mason 14 21 7 2 -- 44 Hagendorf (four recep- Harper 0 0 0 0 -- 0 tions for 60 yards).

Leading 14-0 going into the second stanza, Mason tacked on three more scores to put a greater distance between the Punchers and Harper. Those touchdowns came on runs of 12 yards by Schmidt, 18 yards by Seth Hudson and a pass from Elliot Bibb to Cody Wood covering 34 yards. Mason padded its lead with a touchdown in the third period and recorded a safety in the fourth to make the final score 440. The Longhorns will hope to find their winning ways Friday when they hit the road for a 7:30 p.m. game at Brackett (1-0, 5-1), currently one of three teams knotted at the top of the district standings.

They pushed us back on our heels from the get go and we really struggled in set one.” After a poor performance in set one, the Billies played point-for-point with Wimberley in set two until the 13-15 mark before the Texans pushed the lead to 13-21. Fredericksburg again held strong against the Texans in set three, forcing a tie at 16-16 before Wimberley went on a 9-3 run to close the match. “I thought we would have to play well in every facet of the game and honestly we did not play well in any facet,” Roemer said. “The kids are disappointed, but I’m certain we will learn from it and come out highly motivated Friday night against Boerne.”

As a team, FHS hit a season high .352 hitting percentage, led by middle blockers Allie Doucet (10 kills on 12 attacks) and Trista Hartmann (7 kills on 12 attacks). “Our passing was good and Monica (Montgomery) did a good job of getting the ball to the hitters,” Roemer said. “We really have put an emphasis on our blocking in practice this past week and it really showed tonight.” FHS over Canyon Lake 25-17, 25-18, 25-15 Kills: Doucet 10, Hartmann 7, Kuhlmann 7, Loth 6, Montgomery 3, T.

Ladyhorns defeat Leakey, Junction Two wins in the last week helped the Ladyhorns from Harper High School to strengthen their lead in the District 27-A volleyball standings.

Officially recognized as Crime Prevention Month, October is the month when the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) recognizes those who work tirelessly all year to prevent crime and highlights new tips and resources for effective crime prevention in the future. “Crime Prevention Month is a time to reinforce the importance of community safety,” said Gillespie County Sheriff Buddy Mills. “Community safety and effective crime prevention will always begin with active partnerships between community members and local law enforcement.” The Crime Stoppers Program in Gillespie County is an example of a successful active partnership, the sheriff added. The month-long commemoration reinforces the fact that crime prevention pays off and keeps local communities safe and secure. Mills said he applauded the strong support and commitment to crime prevention and to the Gillespie County Crime Stoppers Program from local businesses, community groups and citizens. Mills said his office has several crime prevention programs that are available to the community and are listed on the web page. For more information about a Neighborhood/Community Watch Program or to arrange for a speaker for a presentation on Crime Prevention, Identity Theft Awareness or the Gillespie County Crime Stoppers Program, call 9977585.

Second graders at St. Mary’s School have been busy working on a service project and a fundraiser. In an effort to help the LIFE School, the second graders brought to school the dry ingredients needed to make cookies. The ingredients were given to the LIFE class. And the class used the items to create jars with all the necessary ingredients to make cookies along with a recipe for a batch of treats. “This is a clever gift and an excellent way to help so many children and schools with only one small purchase,” according to SMS second grade teachers, Jaretta West and Debbie Crenwelge. The second graders also sold blue and white “blinky” rings, and raised $1,000.

CROSS COUNTRY
Runners hit peak heading into district meet next week Nearly sweeping all four divisions at the Lampasas Cross Country Invitational Thursday, the Fredericksburg High School cross country teams are peaking at just the right time as they head for the District 27-3A meet at Starke Park in Seguin Wednesday, Oct. 24. In the final pre-district tune-up meet, the FHS varsity boys, junior varsity boys and junior varsity girls all won their division, while the FHS varsity girls finished second behind host team Lampasas, who was recently ranked among the top 10 teams in the state for Class 3A. “I am very excited about how our teams performed yesterday to close out the regular season,” FHS head coach Dan Aldrich said. “Many girls improved their times as we planned and although the boys did not improve their times, their race efforts showed the improvements we were looking for.” “Right now, our goal is to win the district title in all four divisions, which will not be an easy task,” Aldrich said. “Our varsity girls have finally pulled together and are focused on what they need to accomplish. The boys’ times are improving as we planned, but still there are minor injuries that are affecting some of their performances. We will be focusing on getting these athletes well in the next week in hopes of keeping the district title in Fredericksburg.” Varsity boys Top ten finishes from Tra-
vis Koenig (17:51, 3rd place), Jose Meza (18:14, 6th), Ricardo Martinez (18:22, 8th) and Sammy Garcia (18:39, 10th) helped the Fredericksburg High School varsity boys to a win Thursday at the Lampasas Cross Country Invitational. Also running for Fredericksburg were Scott Willome (18:42, 11th place), Abraham Devenport (18:46, 13th), Gabe Rivera (18:51, 17th), Nick Martinez (19:06, 25th) and Daniel Rojas (20:03, 36th). The varsity boys will attempt to win their sixth straight district title Oct. 24, though Boerne has defeated Fredericksburg at four different meets this season. Aldrich said varsity runners for the district meet include Koenig, Meza, Ricardo Martinez, Garcia, Willome and Nick Martinez, while the seventh spot on the team is still up for grabs. Varsity girls Led by top-15 finishes from Jacquelyn Crenwelge (12:38, 2nd place), Serena Rivera (13:01, 11th), Vanessa Sanchez (13:05, 12th) and Hannah Cheeseman (13:09, 14th), the Fredericksburg High School varsity girls finished second Thursday at the Lampasas Cross Country Invitational. Also competing for Fredericksburg were Zoe Eisenberg (13:25, 18th place), Mireya Robles (13:27, 20th), Alex Taylor (13:39, 24th) and Katie Husfeld (14:29, 36th). The varsity lineup for district is set, Aldrich said, with Crenwelge, Rivera, Sanchez,
Cheeseman, Eisenberg, Robles and Taylor slated to compete for Fredericksburg’s first district title in eight years. Junior varsity

Nimitz Endowment gets museum financial support
Heritage volleyball earns first round win The Heritage School Lady Eagles captured a win in the opening round of the TAPPS District 5-1A volleyball playoffs, downing San Antonio Castle Hills in four games: 2521, 25-13, 20-25, 25-10. The match was held in the First Baptist Church gymnasium. The Lady Eagles, second place finishers in the league’s western division, will next face San Marcos Hill Country School, tomorrow evening (Thursday, Oct. 18) in a contest to be played at Castle Hills. Starting time is 4 p.m. After grabbing the first two games of the match by scores of 25-21 and 25-13, Heritage faltered in the third contest, dropping a 20-25 decision. But the Lady Eagles responded by taking the fourth and final game by a 25-10 score. “This was the most intense match of the season, and the Lady Eagles (7-2 in district ac-
tion) performed with finesse, ball placement, quickness and sound fundamentals to take the victory over Castle Hills,” said Heritage head coach Carol Beall. “Kami Jones was at the top of her game as high point server (23, plus a pair of aces) and leading in kills (with 20). Christina Harpold, setter, gave most of those assists and together scored the last kill of the match with an impressive ace slide attack,” Bell added. Heritage tops Castle Hills (Tuesday, Oct. 16 ) 25-21, 25-13, 20-25, 25-10 Kills: Kami Jones 20, Jamie Hoermann 16, Lindsey Pressler 11, Savannah Morrow 9, Christina Harpold 5, Sydney Richburg 5, Abby Sauer 2.

The Admiral Nimitz Foundation is the recent beneficiary of a bequest from the estate of Marge and Mack McDougall of Jacksonville, Fla. McDougall, a chief petty officer in the U.S. Navy, died in 1998. Earlier this year, upon the passing of Margaret McDougall, his wife of 56 years, the foundation received their charitable endowment to the Admiral Nimitz Foundation and National Museum of the Pacific War. McDougall joined the Navy in 1937, during the Depression. While hitchhiking through the South, all his clothes, money and belongings were stolen. Desperate, with nowhere to turn, he saw a Navy Recruiting office, and realized the Navy would give him a warm place to sleep, clean clothes and three meals a day, according to a spokesman. He was assigned to the Asiatic Fleet, traveling throughout China and the Philippines. He served aboard the USS Sandpiper, USS Edsall and USS Black Hawk.
Sea models go on display at NMPW The National Museum of the Pacific War opened its first temporary exhibit in the George H.W Bush Gallery on Oct. 11. The exhibit highlights Pacific Sea Power, and displays award winning ship models of Dave McVey along with some of the museum’s collection that is not currently on display. McVey’s models have won eight blue ribbons at the State Fair of Texas. His collection includes models of both American and Japanese ships from World War II. He has been building models since high school as a hobby. After losing his models in a barn fire while in college, McVey took a break from modeling. It was after his wife
Cars & Care f l o G ®
got him a model of the Titanic that it became a passion again. “My Grandpa was in the Navy, so I am much honored to have my work be a part of the museums temporary collection,” McVey said. His models start out from the basic model kits that are available at any hobby shop, and then he adds small details to them. Be it planes, weapons, people, or vehicles, McVey makes the models his own with these small touches. Ten of his models are on display in the George H.W Bush Gallery at the National Museum of the Pacific War, along with some of the museum’s collection until Jan. 14, 2013. The models feature intricate
details, such as the individual tail numbers of the 16 B-25s of Doolittle’s raiders on the flight deck of the USS Hornet. “This exhibit will allow visitors a chance to view high quality models of some of the surface ships that shaped the struggle for control of the Pacific during World War Two,” said Mike Lebens, head curator of the collection at the National Museum of the Pacific War. Admission to the exhibit is included in the cost of a museum ticket. For more information contact Brandon Vinyard at vinyard@nimitzfoundation. org or at 997-8600, ext. 205.

After 30 months service on the Asiatic Fleet, he was transferred to the Advanced Fire Control School at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. While there, he married Margaret. As a fireman first class, McDougall was assigned to the commissioning crew of the new USS Lexington (CV-16), and served aboard the vessel through the heaviest of the fighting in the Pacific during World War II. After the war, he became an instructor at Naval Training Centers, retiring from the Navy as a chief aviation electrician mate after 20 years of honorable service. A lasting memorial to the McDougalls, this endowment fund will perpetuate the story of the sacrifices and victory of World War II in the Pacific, the spokesman said.

Broadening horizons with Texas mesquite Annual art festival showcases native wood in different light By Matt Ward They work in mesquite wood, but don’t call them carpenters. The men and women who display their work at the annual Mesquite Art Festival, held Friday through Sunday at Marktplatz, are artists. What began as a trade organization gathering 20 years ago has become one of the largest festivals for mesquite work in the country. “We had a couple of card tables set up and we were passing technical information among each other and some people brought projects they were working on,” local organizer Al Carr said. “We had all these locals looking over our shoulder saying, ‘Hey, can we buy one of those?’” The first year of the event, held in the fall of 1993, 14 10x10 spaces were offered and now 65 slots are given out by the Texas Mesquite Association through a blind jury selection process. About 75-80 entries of five photographs each are received each year, Carr said, and a blind jury ranks the entries, with the top 65 receiving an invitational to appear at the show. One of several local craftsmen attending this year’s show, Tom Marschall has a lifelong love for woodworking. He and his wife Mary Lee
COMBINING Victorian-era rockers with carousel horses, Al Carr’s glider design displays one of many uses of Texas mesquite.
CUSTOM FURNITURE MAKERS Tom and Mary Lee Marschall of Fredericksburg express a lifelong love for woodworking through their
have been building professionally for 22 years. Marschall retired from the military and used his severance pay to build a shop adjacent to his home in Fredericksburg and began to devote himself to woodworking. “I always had a love for it,” he said. “I had been working with wood since I was old enough to pick up a tool basically.” Marschall recalled that in eighth grade, he made a model B24 airplane using an emery wheel, hand saw and a chisel that won first place in the Comal County Fair. After working in the woodshops while at Texas A&M University and again at Army bases while in the military, upon leaving the armed forces, he committed full-time to making custom-built furniture and other home furnishings. “If it’s made out of wood, I can build it,” Marschall said. “I use everything that’s available. It just depends on what the customer needs.” He added that he can make a couple of small jewelry chests in a single day, while larger fur-
pieces, which were on display Friday through Sunday at the annual Mesquite Art Festival. — Standard-Radio Post photo by Matt Ward
niture pieces may take up to a week. Carr’s journey to the Mesquite Art Festival took him down a similar path, building hydroplanes as a teenager in San Marcos and racing them at national competitions in college. While in the military, he used his skills to build toys and furniture for his family when he stumbled upon a more unique project. “I had just about run out of things to make and I said, ‘For this Christmas, why don’t I carve a carousel horse,” Carr said, adding that “That’s a pretty art piece for an adult, but kids don’t always warm up to a carousel if it’s not moving.” He combined the carousel horse with a Victorian-style rocker design to make a glider that his children could ride, tying in his family’s heritage by reproducing a saddle made by their great-grandfather, famous San Angelo saddle maker R.J. Andrews. The mesquite wood used on the glider came from a tree at the parade ground at Fort Concho where his parents rented a home while
they were building a house. “As a kid, I had carved my initials into that wood,” Carr said. “When the city decided to take that tree down, I flew down from Maryland, bought the tree, slabbed it up and flew it back so that my kids would have something made from that tree.” Carr continues to build gliders for friends, family and customers and tries to make each piece a family heirloom by using material from the customer’s property to give the piece added sentimental value to the owner. Sharing his talents with others is important to Carr, who invites area high school students to the show each year to learn from the artists. On Friday, three buses filled with woodworking and art students from Killeen travelled to Marktplatz to learn from the craftsmen. “These are people with a wealth of knowledge to share,” Carr said. “Every one of these artists can tell you for hours how to turn something or how to make this type of application or how to finish it.” Cont. on C6

Custom jewelry piece donated as prize at Tannenbaum Ball A specially-designed piece of custom jewelry is just one of the prizes that will be given away at the Tannenbaum Ball on Saturday, Dec. 8. Valued at $2,400, the prize is donated by Segner’s Jewelry, and will be crafted to the winner’s individual taste by David Tapia, jewelry designer at Segner’s. To create their special piece, the winner may choose to redesign the setting for a gem they already own or may chose a new stone from the selection at Segner’s to create a new item of jewelry, according to a spokesman. This is the third year for Segner’s to donate a jewelry
item for the Tannenbaum Ball drawing. Tapia designed a sapphire ring for the 2011 winner. The drawing will take place at the Tannenbaum Ball, scheduled from 7-11:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, at the St. Mary’s Event Center, in the 300 block of West San Antonio Street. It is not necessary to be present to win and tickets for the drawing are on sale at the Gillespie County Historical Society’s Pioneer Museum, 325 West Main Street, and from individual society members at a cost of $5 each or five for $20. All proceeds go towards
maintaining the historical legacy of Gillespie County. Tapia discovered his designing skills at a young age when assembling model ships, making many of the parts by hand, explained a spokesman. Later, he apprenticed with jewelry maker Leonardo Jimenez, learning the basics of jewelry repair and design. Subsequent design experience includes time at Ben Adams Precious Jewels, James Avery and his own enterprise, Artcraft Jewelers. Tapia joined the Segner’s Jewelry staff as designer in 2011, at which time he relocated from San Antonio to Fredericksburg.
Living Now Book Award winners include locally published entry A book published by Fredericksburg’s Shearer Publishing titled, A Family Farm in Tuscany: Recipes and Stories from Fattoria Poggio Alloro, by Sarah Fioroni, is the gold medal winner for the “cookbooks-ethnic-holiday” category of the Fourth Annual Living Now Book Awards. The book describes how three generations of the Fioroni family work their land in Tuscany using age-old practices and grow a bounty of fruits, vegetables, cereal crops, olives for extra-virgin olive oil and grapes for their award winning wines. The farm has been
organic for many years and is self-sustainable. The farm also keeps bees, produces saffron, and raises chickens, Chianina cattle — the prized Tuscan breed —
and pigs, the basis of homemade prosciuttos and salamis. Fioroni will be a featured author at the Texas Book Festival in Austin on Sunday, Oct. 28, and will be back in Fredericksburg on Monday, Oct. 29, at Der Küchen Laden to sign books from noon to 3 p.m. “Books are the perfect thing to inspire us and to inform us about keeping ourselves and the earth healthy,” said Jim Barnes, awards director. The awards are given to honor books that improve lives, Barnes said, and advocate wholesome, earth-friendly lifestyles.

Brides Across America is an organization that brings bridal salons and military together, explained Sue Lang of Que Bella Bridal Boutique. Bridal salons across America donate gowns and sponsor events to give away wedding gowns to qualified military brides. “By hosting these events, bridal salons are making a difference and giving bridesto-be the opportunity to find the wedding gown of their
dreams, as well as, alleviating the financial stress of purchasing a wedding gown,” Lang said. Each store will be preparing a select number of gowns to give away. Most of the gowns are samples and overstocks and are worth approximately $500 to $3,000. Dresses range in sizes from 4-22 and will be given away on a first-come, first-serve basis to those who qualify and register at http://www.bridesacrossamerica.com/Register. html. “To qualify, you must be engaged, or had a civil ceremony and are planning a formal wedding within the next 18 months,” Lang said. Also, she said, “You or your
fiancé were deployed within the past five years to Iraq, Afghanistan, Qatar, Bahrain, Libya, Kuwait, Korea or Japan and did not have a formal wedding.” All military brides must bring a driver’s license or their military ID for verification. Also, brides should bring a copy of the deployment papers for them or their fiancé that states the dates of deployment and location. This event is open to active duty, National Guard and reserve personnel, veterans and their fiancés who meet the above qualifications, according to Lang.

A Spiritual Struggle
Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give to You,” he said, “if You will bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from Me, Satan! For it is written, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.” (Matthew 4:8-10) We can see from this Scripture that Jesus said we are to worship only God. However, there is another who wants the worship that belongs to God. Christ calls him Satan, the enemy, or the accuser. What sort of enemy is he and how does he work? And why does God even allow him to exist and continue to fight against Him? The next few lessons will cover this topic. It is extremely important to understand Satan and how he fits into the picture concerning sin and the path to salvation. *****------------------------------------***** If you enjoy these lessons and want to do more detailed study, please contact the church office for more details. Your privacy will be respected.

Though the show began as merely a way for craftsmen to exchange ideas, it has morphed into a venue to share mesquite wood with a broader audience. “What we’re doing is exposing Texas mesquite to the world in a different form other than charcoal bricks and barbecue at a steakhouse,” Carr said. “We’re trying to get people to open their minds. Given the right hands of the right artist, you can do tremendous things with mesquite.”

Wait Until Dark run continuing at FTC Tickets still remain for the final two weekends of the Fredericksburg Theater Company production Wait Until Dark, at the Steve W. Shepherd Theater, located at 1668 U.S. Highway 87 South. Performances, which continue weekends through Oct. 28, will be held Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee. “Wait Until Dark was made famous by the 1967 film adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn as Suzy and Alan Arkin as the sinister con man, Roat,” director Kerry Goff said. “For the past two seasons, we have produced talk-back productions featuring literary theatrical works such as The Diary of Anne Frank, and most recently The Glass Menagerie. We thought it was time to change things up and produce a thriller and Wait Until Dark was the perfect choice to spice things up this year.” Cast members include Heidi Eubanks as Susy Henderix, Caleb Straus as Harry Roat Jr., Tom Fait as Mike Talman, Preston Kirk as Sgt. Carlino, James Lacy as Sam Henderix, Amber Royea as Gloria as well as Kevin Judson and Tim Geren as policemen. “FTC is honored to have

such a supportive community and we enjoy being able to give back to the community whenever possible,” Executive Director Julie Voorhees said. “In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, FTC will be donating a portion of the proceeds from intermission concessions during each of the performances to the MD Anderson Cancer Center for Breast Cancer research,” she said. “In addition, because the main character of this production is recently blinded, FTC will be donating another portion of the intermission concession donations to the Hill Country Recording for the Handicapped group.

COMMENTARY Jail not glamorous, but it is needed
T
he Nov. 6 vote for jail bonds totaling $15 million has brought out a lot of feelings on both sides. Detractors say it is too expensive, while supporters say it is beyond time for upgrades. No, a jail is not a glamorous or sexy project to push before voters. A prison doesn’t have the “wow” factor that will bring more visitors, or make the community more attractive to potential businesses. It also is expensive. Many people believe that jail inmates deserve no more than the “three hots and a cot” that many of our military members must deal with on a daily basis in the combat theater. Still others feel the entire project is being dictated by the Texas Jail Standards Board, which — it could be argued — has pushed prison construction around the state to the point of being over supplied. But Gillespie County is in need of an upgrade, and this is the most well-thoughtout option. Its current 16-bed facility is inadequate, and the constant transportation of inmates to and from area prisons is costly and could potentially open up the county to a lawsuit (if there happened to be an accident). More importantly, constant transport takes deputies away from duties here in the county. Sheriff Buddy Mills wants the public to see our current facilities this Friday (see related story in this edition). The county has been getting hammered for 20 years for inadequate facilities. Gillespie County also risks being stripped of being able to house prisoners at all, as it operates under multiple “grandfather” clauses, which could be revoked at any time. That would leave us with shipping out any and all prisoners, and the expense of transport and housing would only grow. A facilities committee took the time to assess needs, tour other facilities, and recommend a 96-bed jail that includes a “flex” courtroom, dispatch area, adult probation offices and more. One argument we have heard at the public hearing last week is that “we’re spending $45 to house prisoners out of county, but we want to build a new prison and pay $89 to house them here.” Sounds simple enough, but that outsourcing cost does not include transportation or manpower hours required for transportation and oversight. As fuel prices
continue to stay above the $3 per gallon mark, a decrease in those costs in the near future is neither expected nor realistic (no matter who is elected president). There also is an economic development aspect to this project. While voters will foot this bill, money will stay in this community and be turned over multiple times, unlike payments to other counties for housing prisoners, which is gone and turns over in those communities. The Gillespie County Economic Development Commission, assisted by the Lower Colorado River Authority’s community development wing, put together a study that states the total economic impact through the year 2020 from this project will be more than $35 million for the county economy. That includes the $14.9-million construction price tag, more than $5 million in wages during construction for an estimated 18 workers, and the “multiplier effect” of $21 million from additional transactions, including those workers eating and shopping in Gillespie County. Operational impacts through the first six years of the jail’s existence are estimated to generate a total of more than $14 million, including 25 direct employees, and more than seven indirectly employed. Through 2020, over $8 million in wages will be paid. Lastly, Texas’ population will continue to grow and so, in theory, will the number of those who seek gain through criminal activity. It stands to reason that this facility will easily meet our inmate housing needs. County officials, by law, cannot advocate for or against this project, so commissioners and the county judge have been mostly silent. As conservative as our current slate of commissioners is, there is no doubt this price tag brings concern (and maybe a little heartburn). But the court already has invested a substantial amount into the planning process. Beyond that, interest rates and construction costs are advantageous, and this project will only cost more if bid in future years. Again, a new jail is an expensive proposition. But the cost includes everything from furniture to operations. It also won’t affect some of our most vulnerable residents, those over age 65 on fixed incomes. For these reasons, we advocate a “yes” vote on Nov. 6 for the Gillespie County Jail.
Exercise your right
W
hether or not you agree with the need for the jail bond vote, your duty on Nov. 6 is to exercise your right to vote. In addition to the jail bond vote, there are federal and statewide races that will determine our next U.S. President, a Texan voice in Washington, D.C. as a U.S. Senator, a representative on the State Board of Education, and many more down-ballot races such as the those for the Texas
State Supreme Court. This week’s paper contains a 24-page Voter’s Guide, published in cooperation with the non-partisan League of Women Voters. In it, you will find background information and stances on important issues from the candidates who responded to the LWV questionnaire. Read up on the races and get to the polls. Early voting begins Monday, Oct. 22, and continues through Nov. 2. The general election is Nov. 6.

A road hog’s travel trials
W
hen you’re on the road for an extended period of time — let’s say, two weeks — you learn a few things. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to following a recent trip “back home” to North Carolina. It’s possible — even in these high-tech days — to have cell phone service but still not be able to get on the internet. Aren’t those two scientific breakthroughs basically the same things? There ought to be a law that somehow makes the two inseparable. What a wonderful world this would be. Some lessons learned on the open road are pretty easy; they’re easy to understand and have actually been a part of the universe for many decades. For example, gasoline prices are always high; there’s no such thing as “cheap gas” anymore. Those days are long gone. Back in the day, we could rely on the states of Georgia and South Carolina to have “cheap gas,” primarily because their gasoline tax rates weren’t very high (compared to what the geniuses in Raleigh had enacted years ago — high gas tax rates designed to fill up the state coffers with money). But, in time, that dirty little secret about raising gas taxes reached into the Peach and Palmetto states. Nowadays, wherever you buy gasoline, it’s still highway robbery! Food at most fast-food chains (I’m not sure the word, “restaurant” is appropriate in this category) does not always
Thinking Out Loud By Danny Hirt
taste the same within the same brand. In other words, don’t be surprised if Brand X hamburgers have a different flavor whether you’re in Shreveport, La., or Tuscaloosa, Ala. Time takes on a different meaning when you’re on vacation. While 7 o’clock in the morning might be “late” on a regular work day, it’s dog-gone early when you’re away from home and on vacation. However, to be fair about it, 10:30 p.m. (which is close to my normal bedtime here in Fredericksburg) has to be tempered by the fact that we were visiting a place in the Eastern time zone. When you’re away from home, it’s just seems appropriate to stay up later. (Side bar: Since I’ve moved to Texas more than 13 years ago, I’ve seen how this time shift thing can affect people. For example, in North Carolina, or anywhere else in the “east,” the late night local news comes on TV at 11 p.m. This brought about the public service announcement prior to each news broadcast, “It’s 11 o’clock; do you know where your children are?” That admonition seems a little bit weaker when you’re talking about 10 p.m. In addition, in the “east” we
had to stay up an hour later at night to watch the end of Monday Night Football and the Johnny Carson Tonight Show.) All motels offer you the moon, but very few have a bathroom door that closes all the way. While you’re trying to navigate between two-star and three-sunset ratings, any motel/hotel starts to look good as the evening rolls on. But what might seem appealing on the billboard against the everdarkening sky, many times comes out not all that great in the end. Depending on which state you’re in, a well-groomed and well-maintained four-lane divided highway can still have a 55 miles-per-hour speed limit. I’m not talking about the Interstate highway system; but, rather, the somewhat lesser-traveled roads. I don’t know if the states with slower speed limits are really safety conscious or just want me to spend more time inside their respective borders in hopes that I’ll buy more of their “not-so-cheap” gas and stay in their “hoping-fordecent” motels. But the latest trip is now history. The souvenirs have been given to the grandchildren and family hugs and kisses have been distributed all around. Now it’s time to sit back, relax, head back to work…and plan the next vacation. danny@fredericksburgstandard.com
A safe, humane environment
F
redericksburg and Gillespie County have much to be proud of, as evidenced by some of our public facilities: Hill Country Memorial Hospital, the Convention and Visitors Bureau/ Chamber of Commerce, Hill Country University Center, City Hall/Fire Station, Marktplatz, baseball fields and the County Library. We are proud of these facilities, because they only came to be with a lot of effort and participation by the community. Where we are poorly represented is in the jail. The County Commissioners have put forward a project to build a new jail because they are obligated to see that we hold prisoners in a safe and humane facility and the Texas Jail Standards Commission says we do not; we get a failing grade. I believe opposition to a new jail comes out of ignorance of the reality of incarceration. I have a lot of experience with incarceration as a longtime member of Kairos Prison Ministry International. Many others in this community participate in this or the ACTS Prison Ministry. We know first-hand the reality of incarceration. A year ago an inmate who was at my table at the Connally Unit in Kenedy during the previous Kairos program, came up to me on a follow-up visit. He said these exact words
By Robert Deming GUEsT COLUMN
to me, with a grin on his face, and great enthusiasm: “My life has completely changed since Kairos.” Another inmate, a tall, strong man from Houston, addressed our Kairos closing program four days later to tell the assembly of his transition from gang leader to leadership in the Christian community. He was speaking because we knew he was real. You can’t pretend to be a Christian in prison; you are or you aren’t, and everyone knows the truth about you. Yes, people change for the better. Prisoners are not condemned to a lifetime of criminal activity. If you would like to hear more stories, ask me, I’ve seen many miracles inside the walls. If you haven’t been inside a jail or prison, most of what you think you know about incarceration is wrong. If what you know about jail comes from movies or television, you have been misinformed. I believe opposition to the new jail comes from thinking the jail is for them — bad people who cause problems and deserve punishment. I have news for you; the jail is for us. The adage “there but for the grace of God go I” is nowhere more true. How many of you reading
this newspaper could have easily found yourself in our jail because of a traffic stop or accident when you were driving with a little too much alcohol in your blood? Just one time? How many of our kids and grandkids may end up in the jail for the same reason? Texas prisons are bleak and dangerous places with marginal food and medical care. If you haven’t been in our jail, perhaps it is time you paid a visit; it is substandard compared even to a Texas prison. We live in a community with a history of good government, but in this area we consistently have a failing grade. I believe that when a free country incarcerates its citizens, it is obligated to provide a safe and humane environment. Many people being held in our jail have not yet been convicted of a crime, and may be found innocent. The longer we operate a substandard jail, the more exposure we have to a wrongful death lawsuit, and the more harm we risk to those we lock up. We build lots of nice buildings for tourists; I applaud the commissioners for taking up this issue, and their commitment to building a jail we don’t have to be ashamed of. Robert C.

LeTTers To THe eDITor Don’t put jail off again
Dear editor, Having attended the public hearing on the proposed new Gillespie County Jail on Oct. 8, I was disappointed in the attendance. The new jail facility is an important issue and much time and thought has gone into it. This meeting was to inform the public prior to making a decision. I hope more people try and get the correct information before Nov. 6. The Jail Committee was formed in November, 2011 to review the Texas Commission on Jail Standards’ “Facility Need Analysis” for Gillespie County and come up with a recommendation and plan. The committee met with Vanir Construction Management, Inc. and toured jails in Blanco, Bandera and Kerrville. We came up with a plan that will serve the needs of the community for years to come, while meeting current jail standards, at the most economical costs. The result is a new 96-bed facility, expandable to 144 beds. The current jail was built in 1974, has 16 beds and does not meet current jail standards. We operate under seven variances that can be cancelled at any time. In 1992, Gillespie County held a bond election to build a 48bed, $2.4-million facility. That bond failed. The result is that we now have to transport our prisoners to other jails, mentioned above, plus the Comanche Jail. These are not one-time transfers but ongoing depending on court dates and times. We have not only housing costs, but travel time, fuel, maintenance expense, liability issues and pulling a deputy or deputies out of service for transfers. I would much rather keep law enforcement in Gillespie County and
see the economic impact of a new jail within our boundaries. It would be cheaper to build now, as interest rates and building costs are at an all-time low, than to put this off again. Please be informed before you vote. Tom Roarick Fredericksburg Dear editor, While attending the informative session on the jail last week, I tried to write down positives and negatives voiced, so I could make an informed decision on my bond vote. The amount, $15 million, was a shocker, but that includes total construction costs, furniture, fixtures, electronics and even operating expenses. Our antiquated dispatch equipment will be replaced, surveillance and emergency generators are included, and the second floor courtroom, probation department, training room and other support offices will also be needed in the near future. My increased tax burden won’t even bring me back to what I paid four years ago. We could certainly keep the 15-man jail we currently have, send detainees to other counties forever, and keep our taxes a bit lower…for a while. However, it was pointed out, that in seven to nine years, the cost of our current transport process will probably equal operational costs of the new facility. No one wants to talk about the positive economic affects for our community but it will certainly be in the millions, e.g. construction and maintenance jobs, materials purchased, meals, lodging and more. I already know of local companies preparing bids to do the work. I would also like to recapture some of that $475,000
that leaves our county every year to pay for our neighboring counties’ new jails. What a waste. Several folks talked about the tax burden we were putting on our kids and grandkids. I see it differently. For the rest of time, there will never be lower construction costs — or likely lower interest rates — than we have right now. I can’t imagine what it would cost our grandkids in 2019. Had we built a bigger jail back in the 1990s, we might not be in this situation now, but we are. I’ve weighed the positives and the negatives and I’m voting YES. Charlie Wilson Fredericksburg
In my 30 years of teaching, I never entertained the thought of leaving my classes because of money matters. Yes, many of my fellow teachers felt the same. Many of the rural teachers in our area also feel they owe their students the respect that we, 30 years ago, felt. Many of us would have paid our administrators for the opportunity of entering the classrooms, because we loved to teach. Many of us used our own incomes to purchase school supplies for our students. We stayed overtime and did not ask for extra pay. When a child needed a lunch, we shared ours.

Macho to mod in school and beyond
I
t’s actually funny to watch the efforts of us guys to look and act macho or mod. For a guy who grew up the son of a cattle-buyer-ranchersometime-farmer, although nothing was ever said, I believe my dad really wanted me to follow in his footsteps. I figured he thought journalists pronounced their profession with a lisp. Right now, I’m carrying a little black bag with a strap over my shoulder. Some pure macho types (you can tell ’em by the combo smirk-sneer on their face) look at me and start to grin their accusatory “sissy” look until they see the tubing running from the bag to a vein in my arm (it’s chemo). The look changes from sissy to pity. I don’t know which is worse. Neither is macho or mod. My first real encounter with such male confusion came in the Sixties when long hair came into vogue for men — macho, mod or otherwise. My flat-top (some say crew cut) was flying out of style. Letting one’s hair grow from crew
Writer’s Roost By Willis Webb to something you can comb and style is a struggle. In my efforts to go mod hair, I discovered wax, gel, hair spray and unisex hair salons. As my hair started to reach lengths that could be combed with some help from a roll brush and hair dryer, I went to the salon regularly to convince my hair not to stick straight up but to lay down and look both macho and mod. In that process, a stylist got carried away with some of the chemicals and the dryer and suddenly my hair began breaking off in clumps. That’s when the salon owner fired the stylist and took over the resurrection of my hair’s health so I could proceed to the mod look — styled, longer hair. James, the salon owner (don’t call it “shop”), decided I needed a “do” that would al-
low my hair to “relax.” So, I got a perm(anent). Yeah, the kind that involved curlers, a smelly chemical to achieve “curl,” and lots of “heat” from the dryers, hand-held and hood type. That brought on my first significant encounter with macho versus mod. Now, understand, I was a slender 170-pounder at the time and in pretty good shape. And, as LifeMate has often reminded me, I usually have this “stern” (I say “serious”) look on my face. At any rate, there I sat under the dryer in James’ “salon,” hair in curlers, a plastic sheet draped around me. In walks this 250-pound-plus, 6-5 man in full Western regalia, 10-gallon hat and all. He strolls to the back of the “salon” where the dryers are located, looks at me, and starts grinning. Well, LifeMate must have been right at least this once. I must have looked pretty stern because the smile came off the cowboy’s face and he turned and left the salon. I believe Cowboy probably thought I
had a thumb-buster pistol under that plastic sheet. At any rate, amongst such challenges I faced, there was also the look with the perm. James left it long enough, that some of the curls dangled over onto my forehead. My boss at the daily paper, a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Reserves, thought it was hilarious. I didn’t. So much for trying to be mod. Actually, I just wanted to have hair I could comb like it was when I was a teen. But, I went around with the perm for a few months until my hair was “healed” a la James. Slowly, my hair grew out to an over-the-collar length considered “mod” at that time. Finally, we’ve returned to sanity with men’s hairstyles. Now, it’s what individually suits you and as long as you’re “looking good” a la Theo Huxtable, you’re macho and mod.

Panel to review what state does with revenue AUSTIN — Money paid in state taxes and fees doesn’t necessarily fund exactly what Texans think it will fund. So, Texas House Speaker Joe Straus last week appointed an Interim Committee on General Revenue Dedicated Accounts as part of an effort, he said, “to make our state budget more transparent and accountable to taxpayers.” The committee will report its findings and recommendations to the House in early January. Straus explained that for more than 20 years, the state has allowed money that sits in general revenue-dedicated funds — nearly $5 billion in the current fiscal biennium — to be used to certify the rest of the state budget. “The practice of ‘funds consolidation’ has evolved from a one-time accommodation and turned into a decades-long bad habit in our state’s budget process, and now is the time to move toward a fairer, simpler and more straightforward approach for Texas taxpayers,” Straus said Oct. 9. State Reps. Drew Darby, RSan Angelo, and John Otto, RDayton will co-chair the committee. Darby said the state “should provide the services people and businesses expect on those taxes and fees dedicated for a specific purpose. Truth in taxation also requires that

50 Years ago In The Standard OCTOBER 17, 1962 Over 6,300 people participated in the three clinics across the county Sunday to take the Sabin oral polio vaccine, type 2. Local doctors, assisted by registered nurses and other volunteers, manned the clinics. The third and final dose will be given on Nov. 11. The 71st Texas Gebirgs Saengerfest, held in Fredericksburg over the weekend under the sponsorship of the Hermann Sons Mixed Choir, was a decided success. The Fredericksburg High School FFA Poultry Judging team won the coveted Gold Emblem Award in Poultry Judging at the national judging contests held during the National Future Farmer Convention and American Royal Livestock Show in Kansas City, Mo., last week. Team members included Kenneth Lindig, Billy Jung and Douglas Zenner. Clinton Kramer was the alternate. Their instructors were Joe Tatum and Bob Sifford. An old-fashioned political rally for John Connally, candidate for Texas governor, will be held Saturday at the Gillespie Fair Park. Both Democratic and Republican friends of the candidate are staging the event. Fredericksburg was wellrepresented at the Texas State Fair in Dallas last Wednesday.
The Fredericksburg High School band performed in a musical on Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning in concert and marched in a parade that evening. In addition to the band, well over 200 Gillespians made the trek to Dallas for Fredericksburg Day. Three boys and three girls were born in local hospitals during the past week. Girls were born to Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Jung, Oct. 14, and Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Rodriquez and Mr. and Mrs. William Henke, both on Oct. 16. Boys were born to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Feuge, Johnson City, Oct. 10; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Belcik and Mr. and Mrs. Gould Davis, both on Oct. 13. Fire poster prize winners were recognized Saturday morning and received silver dollars for their winning entries. Prizes were awarded by Miss Flame Glenda Frantzen and Bert Klein, president of the Fredericksburg Volunteer Fire Department. The St. Mary’s Indians football team crushed the St. Louis Comets of Castroville, 44-6, Saturday evening. The Indians travel to Taylor Saturday afternoon to open conference play.

ROBERT LEE ~ Oliver William “Bill” Newell Jr., age 69, of Grand Marais, Minnesota, died Thursday October 11, 2012 in Lubbock, Texas from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Bill was born on January 11, 1943 in Longview, Texas. His family moved to Silver, Texas in 1949 and Bill grew up adventuring around Silver and the surrounding area. He attended school in Silver and in Colorado City, Texas and loved participating in sports, especially football. After graduating high school, he attended El Dorado, Kansas Junior College on a football scholarship and then attended an aircraft mechanical school in California. He later served in the Army and was stationed in Alaska where he excelled at and received awards for his biathlon participation. After his time in the military, he moved to Mississippi and began working off the Louisiana coast on offshore oilrigs. He married Gayle Hart of Colorado City and had two daughters. He and his family then moved to Fredericksburg, Texas in 1972. Bill became a seasoned veteran in offshore drilling and worked in the field until his retirement in 2004. His work took him to Peru, Libya, Cameroon and different areas of the United States while he oversaw many aspects of the petroleum industry including drilling, production, maintenance and safety training. Upon his retirement, he spent his time between Texas and Minnesota. Bill had the soul of an explorer and enjoyed flying planes, riding motorcycles, skiing, traveling, golfing, boating, hunting, dancing and building. Forever young at heart, he was a wonderful companion in any adventure. His greatest loves were spending time with his family and friends and watching his grandchildren grow. He had an infectious smile and heart-warming laugh, made friends wherever he went, and his generous nature endeared him to people around the globe. His legacy of generosity will continue even after his death due to Bill’s choice to become a tissue donor. As many as 100 people could have their lives enhanced through Bill’s gift. He is survived by his daughter Hartley Newell-Acero, son-in-law Ramiro Acero, grandaugher, Matea Acero and grandson Doran Acero of Grand Marais, Minnesota; daughter Mary Devlin DuVall and son-in-law Mike Duvall of Austin, Texas; sister Beth Prather of Robert Lee, Texas; sister Susan Mouser and brother-in-law Pat Mouser of Abilene, Texas; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, Oliver William Newell and Dorothy Irene Devlin Newell of Robert Lee, Texas. A memorial service for Bill will be held at the Recreation Hall in Robert Lee, Texas on October 19, 2012 from 3:00-3:30. The Recreation Hall is located on Austin Street at the county park next to the swimming pool. Visitation with the family will occur after the service and last until 6:00pm. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family encourages all to register as organ and tissue donors in honor of Bill. Shaffer Funeral Home (325) 453-2424 6325.19pd

Disaster assistance sign-up underway for crop losses Producers can now enroll in the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program for 2011 crop year losses, according to Rick Neffendorf, executive director of the Gillespie-Kendall-Blanco County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA). Under the 2008 Farm Bill, SURE authorizes assistance to farmers and ranchers who suffered crop losses caused by natural disasters occurring through Sept. 30, 2011. “Eligible producers who experienced a 2011 crop loss can contact the GillespieKendall-Blanco County FSA office to learn more about the SURE program,” Neffendorf said. “All eligible farmers and ranchers must sign up for 2011 SURE benefits before the June 7, 2013 deadline,” he said. To qualify for a SURE payment, the producer’s operation must be located in a county that was declared a disaster for 2011 and have at least a 10 percent production loss that affects one crop of
2888.19
economic significance. Producers with agricultural operations located outside a disaster county are eligible for SURE benefits if they had a production loss greater or equal to 50 percent of the normal production on the farm. In Texas, 213 counties received a primary Secretarial Disaster Designation and 41 counties received a contiguous Secretarial Disaster Designation during 2011. This means that all 254 counties in Texas can apply for SURE benefits as long as all other eligibility requirements are met. To meet program eligibility requirements, producers must have obtained a policy or plan of insurance for all insurable crops through the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and obtained Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage on non-insurable crops, if available, from FSA. Eligible farmers and ranchers who meet the definition Cont. on D8
Despite the drought, the state’s pecan harvest will be exceptionally large this year, a predicted 65 million pounds, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert.

throughout the state. “We’re probably seeing more limbs breaking (in orchards) than not,” he said. “Most years, you have enough insect pressure that will take some of the nutlets off before they set. Stein added, “In 2012, the crop was large enough, and the insect pressure was so dispersed, that a lot of trees that would not ordinarily set that many pecans, set an overabundance. As the nuts fill, the combined weight of the leaves and nuts is breaking limbs.” Monte Nesbitt, AgriLife Extension horticulture specialist, College Station, said the excess fruit production was a direct result of the drought continuing into the early growing season. When stressed, a pecan tree will form more fruit in an attempt to make sure the species is preserved, Nesbitt said. The late-season rains also contributed to the large survival rate of the nutlets and resulting limb breakage. “Commercially, what we’ll Cont. on D8

credit union is a part of a community. Groups of people who work together, go to school together or just live in the same community can be part of a credit union. A credit union is a place to save and borrow money.

Let’s say you want to borrow $100 from a credit union. The credit union would require you to pay back the $100 plus some extra money, called interest. Paying interest is like paying a fee for your loan. The interest rate tells what percentage of the original amount borrowed will be charged for one year of borrowing. Here is a $100 loan at 5% interest. It’s divided up into 12 payments. Add up all the payments to see how much the loan would cost.
A credit union does a lot of the same things a bank does. The difference is that a credit union is owned by ALL the people who save their money in it.
Here is a $100 loan at 10% interest. It’s divided up into 12 payments. Add up all the payments to see how much this loan would cost.

The Kevin Carter Band will perform at Pat’s Hall on Saturday, Oct. 20, featuring an evening filled with traditional country and Western swing music. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the band starting up at 8 p.m. Hilda’s Restaurant will provide food for the evening. Tickets (and additional information) are available online at PatsHall.com until 5 p.m. Oct. 20, at the Pat’s Hall office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and at the door, if still available. Cost of admission is $10 per ticket. Carter grew up in Conroe, Tex., and began playing the fiddle at the age of 12. After graduating from Sam Houston State University, he
went on the road with Johnny Bush and the Bandoleros — a 12-piece band which included three fiddles and four horns. During that time, Carter shared the stage with musicians such as Johnny Gimble, Frenchie Burke, Kenneth “Little Red” Hayes, Larry Franklin, Bob Boatright and Bobby Flores. Later, Carter toured throughout the United States and Canada with Gene Watson and The Farewell Party Band. Carter has recently toured with Flores and the Yellow Rose Band. Carter offers four CD’s that feature a combination of western swing, classic country and Cajun music. A fifth CD, currently in production, will be entitled, Mind of My Own.

Is Your Family Ready To Choose The Right Pet? (NAPSA)—For children, having a pet can mean a lot of things, from added responsibility to the unconditional love of a furry playmate. But before parents decide to adopt a four-legged family member, there are a number of questions to consider—to help determine whether everyone, both adults and kids, is ready for the commitment: • Do you have the time? You want to enjoy your pet. But if you have an already-crowded work schedule, and the kids’ days are filled with after-school activities, you may simply not have the time to spend getting to know, care for and love a pet. • Do you know what to get? It’s not enough to say that you want to get a dog or cat. Each comes in a variety of breeds, and you need to determine which breed fits into your lifestyle and that of your family. Some require more attention and stimulation than others. If there are young children in the family, you’ll need to find a pet that won’t turn nasty if subjected to the sort of roughhousing little ones may provide. • Are you ready for a longterm commitment? Dogs and cats can live 20 years or more. So before you get one, understand that you are making a huge commitment. Pets are not like cars that you can test-drive, then walk away from if you aren’t happy. Even if your family is unable to adopt a pet, or you feel that your youngster isn’t quite ready for one, there are still ways by which children can learn about animals and the responsibility required to

Pet-themed video games can help children learn what it takes to care for a four-legged friend. care for them. For example, Ubisoft’s “Petz Dogz Pack” for the Nintendo DS allows young players to adopt and care for cute, furry pets chosen from many different breeds of dogs. Players can also choose to raise cats or monkeys in “Petz Catz Clan” and “Petz Monkeyz House” for the Nintendo DS system. In “Petz Sports” for the Nintendo Wii, players can adopt a dog from 18 different breeds, develop a strong relationship with their dog and teach and train their pet to do more than 22 tricks. It’s possible to dress up the dog in more than 100 outfits and accessories. And for the first time ever in the Petz series of video games, it’s possible to adopt and create an entire family of dogs, cats and monkeys.

The Ins and Outs of Counteroffers While some real estate transactions are completed with the acceptance of an original offer, it’s more common to see negotiations, or counteroffers, between buyers and sellers before the deal is done. Even though the counteroffer phase of a real estate deal may seem overwhelming, you can make it through with the help of your Texas REALTOR® and some insight on what to expect. The basics of counteroffers At its most basic, a buyer usually submits an offer with specifics on the purchase price, downpayment amount, financing, timing and other business details. After receiving the buyer’s offer, the seller could accept it. Or, the seller could send it back with changes to one or more terms. Counteroffers are simply responses to original offers, whether it’s a change to the purchase price or a refusal to leave an appliance. Once a counteroffer has been made, the other party can accept the counter, make another counteroffer or not respond at all. Additionally, the person who made the counteroffer can withdraw it by communicating that withdrawal to the other party before the counteroffer is accepted. How do you know if making a counteroffer is right for you? It depends on what you want. For example, if you’re selling a home and you get an offer with an acceptable price but a closing date that doesn’t work for your schedule, you can counter with
another date. Or, if the offer is lower than you’d like, you can make a counteroffer with an amount that would make you happy. Once everyone agrees, you’re on your way to closing day. Of course, this is an oversimplification of only one part of a real estate transaction. There are still plenty of details to take care of between an accepted offer and closing. What could possibly go wrong? Making counteroffers seems easy enough, but what if there are problems? Many people don’t realize that any change to a contract that results in a counteroffer—even if it’s as minor as asking to keep the refrigerator— automatically voids previous offers, and the buyer or seller can completely ignore the new offer if he desires. For example, if you submit an offer to purchase a home and the seller comes back with a counteroffer, you can then counter his counteroffer. If he rejects it, the deal is off. You can’t go back to his first counteroffer and accept it. So, before you before make one last counteroffer to try to keep the refrigerator, make sure that appliance is worth potentially losing the deal, because a counteroffer gives the other party the power over whether the transaction moves forward or comes to an end. A seller who is working with a Texas REALTOR® can take advantage of his exclusive access to the Seller’s Invitation to Buyer to Submit New Offer form. Instead of creating a counteroffer, this form allows sellers to respond to
a buyer’s offer with an invitation for the buyer to submit a new offer. This form clearly states that the seller is not making a counteroffer and it typically spells out what terms will make a more favorable impression on the seller. This approach keeps the seller’s options open to receive offers from other potential buyers. The buyer can benefit from the form as well since she can see what the seller is likely to accept in the deal and can decide if she wants to pursue a different listing that better suits her needs. Get it in writing Finally, get everything in writing. Verbal offers and contracts aren’t binding, and you should not rely on emailed details. A contract must be in writing and signed to be enforceable. Your Texas REALTOR® is obliged to convey a verbal offer or counteroffer or verbal acceptance to the other party, but a contract is not enforceable until it is in writing and signed by all parties. Once a deal is signed, it is much more difficult for either party to pull out without being penalized. If you find yourself in the offercounteroffer stage, make sure you are accessible so you don’t miss out on a house you want or on a potential sale. And finally, be sure to communicate with your Texas REALTOR® and revisit all considerations before making or accepting any counteroffers.
