Ed Sterling Texas Press Association Voter ID law remains on hold pending legal action... Before and after the passage of Senate Bill 14 by the Texas Legislature in 2011, the new voter identification legislation was labeled discriminatory by its opponents (Democrats) but a necessary tool to prevent fraud by its supporters (Republicans). Now, nearly a year since Gov. Rick Perry put his signature on the “voter I.D.” law, it is still pitching and rolling in waves of court action. In March, the U.S. Department of Justice rendered the law unenforceable, freeing voters in the May 29 Texas Primary Election from having to present at the polls an extra government-issued form of personal identification in addition their voter registration card. On May 8, the Office the Texas Attorney General posted a news release suggesting the Justice Department is engaged in “an ongoing effort to prevent Texas from enforcing its Voter ID law during the November election” and that the federal agency has made “endless discovery requests seeking millions of records that have nothing to do with this case.” A spokesman for the Texas Attorney General said that, however, the plan is to continue to seek “quick resolution.” Meanwhile, on May 11, the Justice Department announced plans to monitor the May 12 municipal elections in Dallas, Galveston and Jasper counties to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Justice Department explained
that under the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group, it may send observers to monitor polling place activities. Next on the horizon is Texas’ Primary Election Day, May 29. Early voting for it began Monday, May 14, and will continue through May 25. Secretary of State Esperanza “Hope” Andrade, the state’s chief elections officer, in a May 11 news release, addressed possible misunderstandings related to the state’s aforementioned battle with the federal government over the legality of Texas’ voter ID law. She said photo identification as required by the legislation will not be required in early voting or on Election Day and encouraged “all Texas voters to take full advantage of the ease and flexibility of early voting.” In lieu of a voter registration card, Andrade said, a voter may present at least one of the following: • Their Texas Department of Public Safety-issued driver’s license or personal identification card • A similar document, even if expired, issued by another state; • A form of identification that contains your photograph and establishes your identity; • A birth certificate or other document confirming birth that is admissible in a court of law and establishes the person’s identity; • United States citizenship papers; • United States passport;
• Official mail addressed to you by a governmental entity; or • A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows your name and address. To study what’s on the ballot, go to: votetexas.gov/voting/ what/ or for more information, call 800-252-VOTE (8683). Sales tax revenue climbs... Texas Comptroller Susan Combs on May 9 announced state sales tax revenue collected in April was a little more than $2 billion, up almost 11 percent compared to April 2011, and sales tax revenue has increased for 25 consecutive months. Combs credited increased tax collections and economic growth led by the oil and natural gas-related sectors, buttressed by gains in retail trade and restaurants. Chief opposes EPA listing... Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman on May 9 praised the efforts of regulators to keep the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard off the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Endangered Species List. “The habitat for this lizard happens to be over the richest oilfield in the country, and listing this lizard as endangered would be a disaster for our economy and our energy future, Smitherman said, adding that for the EPA to grant the lizard endangered status “would lead to higher gas prices and more reliance on oil from hostile dictators like Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.” The Dunes Sagebrush Lizard, measuring 2.5 to 3.0 inches from snout to vent, is found in Texas’ Andrews, Gaines, Yoakum, Cochran, Winkler, Ward and Crane counties, and in southeastern New Mexico.

The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Texas Tales Fredericksburg was just a small county seat town barely three generations removed from its founding by German immigrants when civic leaders first began to understand the importance of tourism. In the early 1920s, during the administration of Gov. Pat Neff, the Legislature created a state park commission and funded Texas’first state park. Thinking that having a state park would be a good thing for Fredericksburg, community members raised money to buy a tract of land with the intention of donating it to the state for park development and operation. “Fredericksburg at that time was beginning to come into the limelight as a mecca for tourists,” noted a booklet compiled by Fredericksburg Publishing Co. in 1928 called “Most Important Happenings in Gillespie County during 1927.” While not the snappiest title to ever grace a publication, the booklet is a snapshot of the community at the height of the so-called Roaring Twenties, a decadent decade (at least compared with the one before it and the one that would follow) about to end with a calamitous stock market crash. The first two-thirds of the booklet are devoted to a month-by-month summary of significant local news like silver wedding anniversaries, the rare accidental death, weather extremes, sports news, and other events. In May 1927, for instance, Walmar Hohmann got more than 10 pounds of wool from a yearling goat and sold it for 70 cents a pound and the Stein & Metzger Creamery began operation. The rest of the publication is devoted to what amounts to a Chamber of Commerce report. In fact, the booklet notes that the chamber had been organized that year with 225 members and a total budget of $4,750.
by Mike Cox
According to the organization’s lists of goals, the chamber hoped Fredericksburg would gain another railroad line (never happened), intended to help the volunteer “fire boys” find a new home, planned to push for better highways and “Get more publicity for our town and more tourists to visit Fredericksburg.” To that end, the booklet devotes more than a page to what was called the Fredericksburg Tourist Park. While the park had been started under the assumption the state would take it over, when the legislature did not appropriate any money for it, “the people of Fredericksburg immediately got busy and organized an association, giving each donor a share of stock for each $5 subscribed.” By the time “Most Important Happenings in Gillespie County” came out, the park had some 150 share holders and a board of directors. Located 1.25 miles from town off Highway 9 (modern U.S. 87), the park covered 34 acres dotted with oaks and pecans. In addition, a man identified only as L. Vorauer of the Fredericksburg Nursery donated 30 cottonwood trees in February 1927. The booklet did not say what direction the park was from downtown, but reading between the lines, a good guess would be that it lay near the old fair grounds since Baron’s Creek ran through it. Park amenities included “two wells, tank, shower baths, 12 neat and up-to-date camp cottages, with and without garages, a nine-hole golf course, concrete swimming pool, 60 by 110 foot caretaker office, electric lights, campsites with tables, benches, cooking grates, etc.” The swimming pool had been excavated in April 1927 and was open in time for summer. The Fredericksburg Park and Golf Association kept two caretakers on the payroll that

first summer, one to oversee the park, the other to operate the swimming pool. Visitors paid 50 cents a day for a campsite, $1 for a cabin and $1.25 for a cabin with a garage. Firewood, water, baths and electricity were furnished “without further charge.” Those wishing to play golf had to pay a 25 cent green fee, though association members could get nine holes in at a rate based on the amount of shares they held. For the younger set, the park also had swings and a merry-go-round. According to the 1928 booklet, the park had already been visited by thousands of people, “all of whom are unstinted in their praise for the way the park is kept and the accommodations which it offers.” The park made it through the worst days of the Depression. An ad in the San Antonio Express in June 1935 notes it was under new management
and offered “comfortable furnished cabins, swimming pool, fishing, dancing, restaurant, [and] beautiful scenery.” An article in the San Antonio Light two years later, a decade after the locally run facility had begun operation, noted the park then had 20 cabins, including some with screened sleeping porches. By then the park also had a refreshment stand that sold “beer, ice cream, tobacco, candles, etc.” A web site with thousands of digitized, searchable back issues of U.S. newspapers shows no further mention of the Fredericksburg Tourist Park after 1937. And typing the words “Fredericksburg Tourist Park” into the world’s most powerful search engine produces nothing about the park. What an internet search does show is that today Fredericksburg has no shortage of amenities for tourists, including two nearby state parks.

The Dirt on Hill Country Gardening by David Steinbrunner & Linda Tarrant
Favorite Roses! With the dry conditions we experienced last summer and starting to have again this spring, roses become a superb plant. They are amazingly drought tolerant, and they reward us by blooming off and on all summer. They are unfortunately tasty to deer. Some are good candidates for planting along fences and protecting until they are out of the “browse” range of our deer. Some are good candidates for growing up into existing trees by protecting until they are out of deer range. White. Iceberg is an old rose, but Climbing Iceberg is a new variety that we happen to admire. It has beautiful blooms that are 2-3” across. There is a tinge of pink in the bud, but the bloom is white and full.
This is a continuous bloomer, and when you’re looking for it, ask for “own-root” roses to get a plant grown on its own rootstock, not grafted. Green Snake is a fascinating white rose that grows as a groundcover with small, dense foliage. Its name comes from its trailing, creeping, twisting branching along the ground. This is an intermittent bloomer that flowers heavily in the spring. This one can be evergreen in our Hill Country climate unless we really have a blue norther. The runners on this can range up to 20’, and trimming will make it denser. The Cherokee rose is a climber to about 15’ or a shrub rose that mounds to about 6’ tall by twice that in width. This was introduced early to North American and has naturalized

throughout the South. This one takes little care and produces white, 5” flowers. The legend of the Cherokee Rose tells that when the Trail of Tears started in 1838, the mothers of the Cherokee were grieving and crying so much because they were unable to help their children survive the journey. The elders prayed for a sign that would lift the mothers’ spirits to give them strength. The next day a beautiful rose began to grow where each of the mothers’ tears fell. The rose is white for their tears; a gold center represents the gold taken from Cherokee lands, and seven leaves on each stem for the seven Cherokee clans. The wild Cherokee Rose grows along the route of the Trail of Tears into eastern Oklahoma today. Yellow. The Flutterbye is a competitor of the Mutabilis, but this one is a continuous bloomer. Its blooms vary from yellow to a dark peach, and a bit in between. This shrub rose is a profuse bloomer and beautiful that grows about 3-4’. Mermaid is a rangy climber that is a repeat bloomer with 4” canary yellow flowers. I have these growing on the
crest of a hill by a fence, and they have covered the fence and grown up into the oak trees along my driveway. They are supposedly 10’ to 25’ x 8’, but mine are well over those dimensions. Plant of the Week. Rough Leaf Dogwood, Cornus drummondii, is native to our area and blooming around the Hill Country right now. Its blooms are white, 3” clusters which become white berries in the fall that birds love. The leaf is sandpaper-like, hence the name. The foliage turns a beautiful burgundy color in the fall. This one is great for erosion control along the banks of rivers. Drought tolerant, but can thrive in damper locations as well. Chores for this week. • Keep weeding! • Keep planting! • Keep pouring on the molasses and soil activator to keep stimulating the soil. • Watch for aphids and treat with hard spray from the hose or insecticidal soap or use ladybugs or pyrethrum if you’re invaded. • Watch for spider mites and treat with predatory mites, Neem Oil, then keep them hosed off and clean as spider

Outdoors Outback by Kendal Hemphill
Elbert. Seriously. Long-time readers of this column may remember when I used to relate spine-tingling, hair-raising, swash-buckling stories about going to Mexico and, single-handedly, returning with some pretty impressive examples of Montezuma’s Revenge. For several years now I have chosen to avoid Mexico, though, on the grounds that it could be hazardous to my health. I have no doubt I could successfully navigate a trip south of the border and back, but I might not survive Jocelynn’s Revenge, which makes Montezuma’s version seem like a walk in the park. But it’s true that Mexico is probably not as safe as it used to be. Hardly a week goes by that you don’t hear a story or two of American tourists in Mexico being inconvenienced. Some come home inconvenienced out of just about all their money, and some end up inconvenienced to death. And death, despite fluctuations in the currency exchange rate, is still pretty much permanent. Now, the reason I used to go to Mexico to begin with was to go canyoning, which is a foreign term that means hiking into the mountains and finding a creek or stream, and following it back out of the mountains. This is a little more exciting than it sounds, but then, how could it not be? What I used to do, with friends like Gordo Gipson and Lonnie Colson, was to camp way up in the mountains west of Monterrey. Early in the morning we would get up and hike to the small Carrizo River and follow it down the mountains through huge rocks, narrow canyons, and dark caves, and hopefully end up back in civilization, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
The trip would take all day, and was a whole lot of fun, unless someone died, which would kind of put a damper on things. That was a joke, sort of. The truth is, the first time we went on that trip, we were told a couple of fellows had died of hypothermia the week before, because they didn’t wear wetsuits, and the water is so cold it crunches when you jump in it. After a few minutes in that river, everyone looks like they’re wearing blue long-handles. Anyway, that trip was always a lot of fun, but what with people shooting one another down there and such, I’ve been doing most of my recreating in the good old US of A for the past several years. But about the time Mexico started to go south, so to speak, I started wondering if there wasn’t someplace a little safer where a fellow could go canyoning. Not so much. In America it’s called canyoneering, even though everywhere else it’s called canyoning. I have no idea why that is, but there you go. When I figured that out I managed to find the American Canyoneering Association, which was started about a dozen years ago. Sounded like I was in business. So I called up Rich Carlson, who was the president of ACA. He did guided canyoneering trips in southern Utah, so I told him I wanted to come out there and go on one of his canyoneering adventures with him. Rich said no. Well. I asked him why not, and he said I had to take his Beginning Canyoneering Class first, which was basically sitting in a classroom for a few days learning to tie knots and stuff, before I could take the second class, where I
would actually get to go out and make a little trip down a canyon. Uh huh. I told Rich, “No, you don’t understand. I already know how to tie all the knots and fix anchors and stuff. I’ve been doing that for years. And I’ve been canyoning in Mexico since 1998. So I don’t need the beginner’s class. I just want to go down a canyon.” Rich said no. He said I might know what I was doing, and I might not. Either way, he wouldn’t take me unless I took his classes. And paid him for it, of course. So I said, “OK, forget that. Just tell me where I can go canyoneering out there, and I’ll stay out of your hair.” Rich said no. He wouldn’t tell me where to go, unless I took his classes. And paid him for it. He made it sound like it was illegal to go canyoneering otherwise. I finally gave up. And then, a few months ago, I found a book about Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, and it said (you’re not going to believe this) people go canyoneering without guides ALL THE TIME in Utah, and guided trips are not even allowed in the parks. So Paden and I decided to go to Utah and do some canyoneering. And then we got out a map and figured up how far we’d have to drive, and we said, “Nah.” But we found out there’s some pretty good canyoneering around Ouray, Colorado, so we’re going there instead. Actually, by the time you read this, we’ll already be there. We’re quick, me and Paden. We also plan to climb the highest mountain in Colorado, which is named . . . Elbert. No, I don’t know why they named it Elbert. If I find out I’ll let you know. Assuming I don’t run into Rich Carlson on the trip . . .

Texas AgriLife promotes pickup truck safety... The Texas Department of Public Safety’s annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign will soon be underway, and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service is lending a helping hand. According to a Texas AgriLife Extension Service safety expert, Texans think trucks “rock,” but they also need to know that they roll. “Even though pickups are larger than cars and their owners tend to feel safer in them, they are twice as likely to roll over as passenger cars,” said Bev Kellner, Texas AgriLife Extension program specialist-passenger safety at Texas A&M University in College Station. According to a 2011 study conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute, only 80 percent of pickup truck drivers buckle up, as compared with more than 90 percent of regular seat belt users in all other types of vehicles. The Click It or Ticket campaign time frame includes the Memorial Day weekend, and this year the campaign is scheduled for May 21-June 3. During this time, extra law enforcement representatives will be on the roads enforcing the seat belt and child restraint laws in an effort to save lives. Texas sheep and goat workshops aim to reduce risk... In an effort to help ranchers mitigate production risk, the Texas AgriLife Extension Service is set to host a series of sheep and goat workshops in May and June.
Page 13 The workshops are scheduled for May 31 in the Texas AgriLife Extension Service office for Gillespie County, 95 Frederick Road in Fredericksburg; June 5 in the Ed Davenport Civic Center, 100 Brady Country Club Road in Brady; and June 7 at the Iraan Civic Center, 9271 Alley Oop Lane in Iraan. The workshops are being hosted by a service partnership, including: Texas AgriLife Extension, the Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers’ Association, the U.S. Department of AgricultureRisk Management Agency and the American Sheep Industry Association. Individual pre-registration, due one week before each workshop date, is $15. Late registration and registration at the door is $40. To pre-register and for more information, contact Bill Thompson at (325) 653-4576 or
[email protected]. TDA establishes Texas wildfire taskforce... The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) has established a Texas wildfire prevention taskforce aimed at maximizing prevention strategy as wildfire season approaches. “With a state as vast in size and as diverse in environment as Texas, we must be strategic in our wildfire prevention
and mitigation efforts,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said in an agency news release. “Many brave Texans risked their lives fighting fires last year, yet the historic 2011 wildfire season claimed nearly 4 million acres in Texas and was truly devastating to the people, property and natural resources of our state. I commend our local, state and federal firefighting agencies, and am today proud to create this task force to bring more strategic focus and action to wildfire prevention and mitigation efforts before the fire sparks. As Texas prepares for another potentially active wildfire season, it is important to ensure first responders, local and state officials, and landowners are aligned in both fire prevention and response efforts.” “Controlled fire is the best tool to prevent wildfires,” Staples said. “Trying to control a wildfire is much more costly and difficult than eliminating the fuel for that wildfire before it starts. The updates in our prescribed burning procedures and the new Texas Wildfire Prevention Taskforce will help reduce the risk of potential wildfires, which risk the lives of our citizens and damage communities, crops, livestock and wildlife.”

JPD ACTIVITY REPORT
The Junction Police Department submits the JPD offense/incident/arrest reports each week to keep citizens informed of calls and incidents occurring in the city. Traffic citations are not included. The release of the information is required by Texas under the provisions of the Open Records Act.

Engagement Announcement
Lynn Hill and Debi Molesworth announce the engagement and approaching marriage of their daughter, Maggie Jo, to James Rowdy Walker, son of Rodé and Christie Walker of Fredericksburg. Maggie is a 2007 graduate of Junction High School and a 2011 Cum Laude graduate of Texas A&M University. She is presently employed by the Pebble Creek Elementary School in College Station. Rowdy is a 2004 graduate of Fredericksburg High School and is presently employed by Green Right of College Station. Maggie is the granddaughter of the late Gus and Virginia Mahler of Junction and Joanne Molesworth and the late John Molesworth, also of Junction. Rowdy is the grandson of Corky and the late Mickey Tumlinson of Brownwood and Calvin and Helen Walker of Abilene. A June 9 wedding is planned.
I read with interest about the sudden resignation of Brad McCullouch, the first assistant to District Attorney Amos Barton and that Amos would not hire him back. I advised Amos not to hire him in the first place. McCullouch came to Texas with a questionable background from Mississippi where he was severely criticized by the Supreme Court of Mississippi for his unprofessional conduct in court. Since the time he was employed as First Assistant, the criminal docket in Court has sky rocketed to unmanageable proportions, When I became District Attorney, I had six counties, a part-time secretary and absolutely no other help. I did the job all by myself, even furnishing the office at no cost to the state or counties. In the past three years the Office of the District Attorney Barton has wasted or given away hundreds of thousands of dollars in property and/or unnecessary professional salaries. Ronald Sutton Former District Attorney Political Note: I can’t believe President Obama would endorse gay marriage on Mother’s Day weekend. Whoda thunk?

Care Center Chatter by Cindy Walker
Inadvertently in last week’s paper I, Cindy Walker, extended an invitation to the entire community to come and eat with us at the HCCC. However as much as we would love to have everyone do this, we need to clarify that it was a mistake, and it would be way too expensive for us to feed everyone. Nevertheless, we, as always, invite all community members to come and visit with our “family” and see what all we are doing at HCCC. We would welcome you with open arms.

Well, the school year is coming to an end, and I am proud to say that Junction ISD recycled close to 15,000 lbs. of paper. This tells me that
This past week was National Nurses Week. At Hill Country Care Center, we celebrated the nurses that care for all of us by giving them compliments all week long. If we saw someone on the staff doing something above and beyond, they were able to win a prize from Sylvia, R.N., D.O.N. We also held a special lunch for all of our nurses with a gift for each of them and door prizes. I believe we have some of the finest nurses working at Hill Country Care Center. They are all so compassionate in what they do
students, ages K-12, are taking the initiative to recycle, and teachers are encouraging their students to recycle. Thank you Junction ISD for encouraging
the students to recycle. Adults can be influential, as responsible citizens, by recycling paper, plastic and larger items, while conserving natural resources such as water and oil. Not only do adults need to work at conserving resources, but also help teach children about the importance of recycling. Thank you for doing

London Bridges by Claudette Primeaux What a difference a rain makes! There is still plenty of just plain dirt with nothing growing in it, but anything that can grow, is growing again. We are so sad to lose our friend Louie Shuler. It is hard to believe Gary and I saw him just a few days ago and talked about the roads of Kimble County, as well as the bridges of Kimble County. Louie always had a smile and a kind word to say to everyone, and we will surely miss him. There will be a service for Louie on Sunday, May 20, at the London Baptist Church at 2; followed by a reception at the Fellowship Hall. We also will miss our friend Mary Farmer Murr. What a delightful lady she was in her quest to clean up the county roads and parking lots, one person at a time, one piece of litter at a time. The Hospital Board election is behind us now. I have worked as an election judge in years past (and I enjoyed doing it). This time, my role was more of a co-administrator with Debra Mudge, which involved arranging for the workers, getting the equipment and testing, setting it up and taking it down, and answering questions by the dozens.
I take my hat off to Charles Loeffler for doing it virtually alone for the past few years; and to Haydee Torres for her expertise as the voter registrar in all elections. There is so much more to the process than meets the eye. As with all things “government” the simple becomes complex and the rules and regulations far exceed the task at hand. I was really glad to see the turnout, not only in candidates, but in the voters. This is the way the process is supposed to work. Thanks again to Dicky Adams, Bobby Chenault, Charley Goodman and Trey Sullivan for stepping up when needed. Our Board will now have Bobby Chenault with us again, and Trey Sullivan as a new member. One of our first actions will be to appoint another board member to replace Daniel Henderson, who resigned earlier this year. As I have said before, there are some important decisions to be made soon. Last year, Preferred Management made a presentation to the Board members, aimed especially at the newly elected, that laid out the relationship between the Board and the hospital providers and staff; i.e., Preferred.

JISD NEWS by Dr. Reneé Schulze Good luck and congratulations, Senior Class of 2012! 57 Junction ISD graduates will participate in commencement ceremonies on May 25 at 8 p.m. at the Junction High School Eagle Stadium. We look forward to our high school graduation and seeing the proud faces of students and parents. Graduation is a highlight in the life of a young person that we are privileged to share. And we pray for God’s continued blessing as they begin new chapters in their lives. As this important date approaches, there is growing excitement and pride among our graduating seniors, their families and our staff. Seniors, you have every reason to feel proud. Over the past 12 years, you have worked and studied and grown—both mentally and physically—and now you are ready to begin your lives as members of the adult community. High school graduation is not so much the closing of a door, but the opening of many new ones. For some of you, this will mean a job and the responsibilities of a family.
Kimble Hospital
For others, college and further years of study and preparation come next. Whatever course your future takes, it’s my sincere hope that you will look back on your years here in Junction as having prepared you to meet and deal with the challenges that life will present. I believe the knowledge that you have gained in our classrooms and the experience of going to school and living in a small community have prepared you well for the future. I hope that you have been aware that we are constantly seeking new ways to enhance the education that our students receive. Now that you have completed your studies here in the Junction School District, I would appreciate hearing from you. Send us your thoughts on what we did well and your suggestions on what you feel could be changed or improved. Better yet, stop by and tell me in person. Remember my open-door policy: you are always welcome. Congratulations, Class of 2012! We wish you a lifetime of success and happiness!

This year it will be in San Antonio; last year we went to Fort Worth.

Texas Retired Teachers Association gives books to Head Start Program by Emily Bierschwale
One of the projects of the retired teachers is to provide a new story book for every child in the Head Start Programs. Our chapter includes Menard, Mason and Junction, all of whom distributed books to the
Head Start children in the various schools. The local members distributed 37 books to the Junction children. Each book contains a label with a place for the child’s name as well as saying the book was provided by the Menard, Mason and Junction TRTA.
Anyone is eligible for membership who is retired from a Texas school or college, and we welcome your membership. We meet only four times a year, and our next meeting will be here in Junction, the first Tuesday in September.
