Airport Manager Russ Volk ad-mits it was not easy leaving Cedar City, Utah, to begin his new job in Georgetown.

“You always leave with a lot of mixed emotions — we made some very dramatic improvements to that airport and it is difficult to walk away from something like that,” Mr. Volk said.

“But I like challenges and the Georgetown airport has its fair share right now. I’m looking forward to making some positive changes.”

Just before Christmas, George-town officials offered Mr. Volk the airport manager position. They spoke highly of the Air Force veter-

an, who has a degree in airport man-agement, before he even arrived in Texas.

“We wanted someone to come in and take responsibility and that is what Mr. Volk will do,” Georgetown Transportation Services Director Ed Polasek said.

In Cedar City, Mr. Volk was instru-mental in building that city’s mu-nicipal airport from its infancy to a Class-1 facility, capable of handling similar aircraft and undergoing similar Federal Aviation Adminis-tration inspections to Salt Lake City International Airport.

He served four years as Cedar City’s airport manager and has 37 years of experience in aeronautics.

After two-plus years running the polls in the state’s southernmost county, Chris Davis will become Wil-liamson County’s next head of elec-tions.

Mr. Davis will take over the elec-tions department April 13, he said Thursday in a phone interview. He replaces Jason Barnett, who abrupt-ly stepped down in mid-November for undisclosed reasons.

Mr. Davis has served as elections administrator of Cameron County, based in Brownsville, since January 2013.

“I have enjoyed every minute of it down here and I know I will up there as well,” he said.

A native of Brownsville, Mr. Da-vis earned a degree in criminal jus-tice and Spanish from Sam Houston State in 1994. He also spent two years at Texas A&M and was a member of the Corps of Cadets before transfer-ring to Sam Houston in Huntsville.

Prior to becoming Cameron Coun-ty elections administrator, he was a technical consultant for law firms in the Brownsville area. He became cu-rious about elections and served as a Republican poll volunteer.

He took over a Cameron County elections department mired in allega-tions of voter fraud and vote manip-ulation. South Texas media outlets credited Mr. Davis with increasing

the post’s transparency and trust-worthiness.

With 410,000-plus residents, Cam-eron County is smaller in population than Williamson (with more than 470,000 residents), and political par-ticipation is lower.

About 22 percent of Cameron County’s 186,741 registered voters cast a ballot in November, compared to the roughly 38 percent of 272,649 registered WilCo voters who showed up at the polls.

Less than a week after Southwestern University stu-dents marched to protest the handling of sexual assault cas-es, the school moved to quell concerns.

The university’s Title IX Compliance Committee, which handles sexual assault allega-tions on campus, proposed changes Tuesday to sexual assault procedures, including possibly disclosing more in-formation about assaults and banning a Greek student life event.

The compliance committee’s recommendations were based on a meeting it held Monday as well as student input at a cam-pus-wide meeting February 27, Elma Benavides, associate vice president for human resources and the school’s Title IX coor-dinator, said in the report.

Protest organizers reacted positively to the proposals.

“It’s absolutely a victory,” said Sadie Clarendon, a senior studying philosophy and En-glish.

“A lot of students feel like they’re being heard on cam-pus, or at least that all the work we’ve been doing and hours putting into organizing meet-

ings — we feel like it’s actually sort of working.”

Title IX refers to the sec-tion of the federal Education Amendments of 1972 that barred discrimination in high-er education based on sex.

For the third time in the last de-cade, the city council has offered a contract to voters.

The city council unanimously ap-proved a resolution February 24 that limits how much taxes will increase if voters approve a $105 million road bond package in May.

The contract limits the yearly in-crease in taxes to two cents and the cumulative increase over the life of the bonds to 10 cents.

“This contract with the voters was also used in 2004 and 2008 — it was very successful,” said Georgetown Chief Financial Officer Micki Run-dell.

“This dictates size and timing of when the city would be able to issue debt in the future.”

If the road bonds are approved, the average homeowner’s tax bill would increase $31 to $42 annually, based on city estimates. By 2026, the average homeowner’s tax bill could increase by more than $250.

The item did not pass without some debate. Ms. Rundell asked for $30,000 to pay for voter education materials including advertisements and other items.

“That is actually less than we spent in 2008,” she said.

Councilman Keith Brainard be-lieves that amount is too high.

“$30,000 is more than we need,” the councilman said.

“I don’t expect this to have orga-nized opposition. I would encourage staff to see if we can do it for a lot less.”

The $105 million road bond election will be May 9, the same day voters in District 5 will decide on a new coun-cilman.

Months ago, a committee of resi-dents started with a $550 million wish list of road projects.

They whittled that down to $220 million and presented those projects to city council. The committee iden-tified its top objective as reducing traffic and improving circulation on Williams Drive.

The council balked when officials said the $220 million bond package would increase property taxes sig-nificantly. The tax bill of the average Georgetown home, valued at about $210,000, would have gone up $82.65 during the first year of that bond cy-cle.

Eliminating the Austin Avenue bridges from the bond, the council ap-peared to be set on a $96 million pack-age, but upped the price tag to $105 million to include sidewalk projects and the widening of D.B. Wood Road.

The bond package also includes funding for the extension of Rivery Boulevard from Williams Drive to Northwest Boulevard and a North-west Boulevard bridge over Interstate 35 to Austin Avenue.

NOTEBOOK

B y M A T T L O E S C H M A N

Residents clearly care about future parking options — 570 people responded to an online parking survey that closed Tuesday.

Now the city is inviting res-idents for a more personal dis-cussion.

Georgetown officials will host a public meeting about downtown parking at 5:30 Wednesday in the Friends Room on the second floor of Georgetown Public Library, 402 West Eighth Street, two blocks west of the Square.

“This is by far one of the most successful surveys we have done in terms of re-sponse from the public,” As-sistant City Manager Laurie Brewer said.

“People are connected to this issue. Now we want to in-vite residents and stakehold-ers out to discuss parking at the public meeting.”

City spokesman Keith Hutchinson said a record num-ber of people took part in the online survey.

“People really care about downtown parking,” he said.

Mr. Hutchinson said the goal for this type of citywide survey is about 400 responses.

“Almost 600 is a great num-ber,” he said.

“Parking is one of those is-sues where everyone has an opinion because we all experi-ence it every day.”

The city has hired parking engineering consulting firm Carl Walker, Inc. to assess the available parking in downtown and provide options for future parking needs. The company is headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and has a satellite

office in Dallas.The firm is conducting a

detailed parking study and de-signing a possible downtown parking garage. Their notable projects in Texas include a parking garage on the Baylor University campus and park-ing garages in Fort Worth’s West 7th shopping district.

The study and design is cost-ing Georgetown about $212,000.

Ms. Brewer said a Carl Walk-er representative will begin Wednesday’s meeting with a brief presentation and then be available for comments and questions from the public.

Initial data and the results of the downtown parking study survey will also be pre-sented at the meeting.

As the city’s population grows, downtown parking will become scarcer. A downtown garage could greatly expand parking options, although it could take years before becom-ing a reality.

Last July, county officials re-opened their 400-space park-ing garage near the Justice

Center. The garage had been shut down for three years due to structural problems that re-quired $800,000 in repairs.

Parking on the Square and many surrounding streets is limited to a three-hour maxi-mum on weekdays.

There are four city-owned parking lots without time lim-its — one adjacent to city coun-cil chambers, another near the public library and two more along Main Street near Ninth Street.

“But we do have more businesses coming in,” Mr. Hutchinson said.

“We don’t want to get to a point where a large amount of traffic is spilling over onto side streets to park.”

Ms. Brewer is hoping for a large turnout Wednesday.

“We’ve tried to make this a very public process and this is their opportunity to really weigh in on this issue,” she said.

“We know there is a lot of interest and passion when it comes to downtown parking.”

Give input Wednesday on downtown parking options

The city will host a downtown parking meeting Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at Georgetown Public Library, two blocks west of the Square.

Women with an interest in law enforcement will have a chance to meet with some of the police department’s top female officers this week and learn more about the force.

Georgetown Captain Eve-lyn McLean and other female officers will talk about their experiences during the Wom-en in Law Enforcement Career Night from 6 to 8 p.m. Thurs-day at the Public Safety Oper-ations and Training Center, next to Fire Station 5 on D.B. Wood Road.

“This will be put on by women for women,” Captain McLean said.

The growing department has been hiring more officers and specifically searching for racial minorities and women.

“Our demographics in the city are pretty well split, male and female,” Captain McLean said. “But, in our department, we’re nowhere near half fe-male.”

Women serve throughout the ranks of GPD but the force is decidedly male.

The cops joining Captain McLean are Sergeant Renee Koog, Officer Shannon Hall and Officer Delta Jolly. Attend-ees will also get a tour of the new $29.5 million public safety center.

The event is open to all wom-en who are interested in polic-ing, with or without a back-ground in law enforcement.

“Experience is not neces-sary,” Captain McLean said.

When Therese Shelton was in high school, she knew her interest in mathematics would end being the focal point of her career.

Almost four decades later, the Southwestern Universi-ty associate professor is set to receive the Distinguished Service to Students award in April from the Mathematical Association of America. The award goes annually to teach-ers preparing students for a career in math.

“I’m very honored to receive that,” Dr. Shelton said.

“It’s for hauling students to conferences and preparing them to give talks.”

Dr. Shelton was hired at SU in 1987 as an assistant math professor and has steadily moved up the ranks. She now teaches the senior capstone seminar in mathematics.

“For several years I would encourage students to present their projects at a local meet-ing that we’d be going to, but it was really once I started re-quiring the whole class to do it that we got more students,” she said.

Dr. Shelton guides students in filling in the blanks to pre-viously published mathemat-ics articles and then prepares them to present the work at the

annual Mathematics Associa-tion of America conference.

“The students have to write an abstract about their topic,” Dr. Shelton said. “They have to have some kind of project that they’re going to present that’s beyond the typical course work in an undergraduate cur-riculum.”

The Mathematical Associa-tion of America, the National Science Foundation and the

universities pay for the trips, which Dr. Shelton thinks are widely beneficial.

“It’s more of a national stan-dard now,” she said.

Ms. Shelton’s interests have not always been exclusively in mathematics, but it has been a huge part of her world since she was a ninth grader.

“I also really enjoyed En-glish and history and science, so I really didn’t know what I

wanted to do, but I thought if I were going to do anything science-y, that I needed math,” she said.

“So, I took calculus in high school in Houston and again in college.”

She earned a bachelor’s de-gree in math from Texas A&M and later a master’s degree from Clemson University.

The county is looking at tak-ing on $70 million more in debt through the issuance of certif-icates of obligation, which do not require voter approval, to fund facility upgrades over the next three to five years.

In order to fund the improve-ments, the county would also pay off $2 million in existing debt and refinance another $100 million for a lower inter-est rate, county spokeswoman Connie Watson said.

Commissioners have been discussing a proposed proj-ects list and plan to pick up the conversation Tuesday at their 9:30 a.m. meeting on the second floor of the courthouse, 710 South Main Street on the Square.

Officials have been hosting a series of open houses and approaching civic groups to discuss the plan.

Precinct 1 Commissioner Lisa Birkman, who expressed opposition to the certificates of obligation, will host an open house from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at the J.B. and Hallie Jester an-nex, 1801 East Old Settlers Bou-levard in Round Rock, west of FM 1460.

Ms. Birkman prefers to first use funds from cash reserves and approach voters through another general bond election for any remaining costs, she said.

“The overall debt load is worrisome to me. If we issue this debt, our total will be over a billion [dollars] — that’s with a b — in debt. That is concern-ing to me. It is prudent to al-ways keep in mind how much the total debt is,” she said at a February 24 meeting.

County Judge Dan Gattis

said the court arrived at the $70 million price tag with advice from its financial advisors.

It is a figure that will fit into the county’s budget and take care of much-needed projects without affecting the tax rate, he said at the meeting.

Among the capital improve-ment projects being discussed

are new buildings for training and office space, including a new home for Emergency Medical Services, as well as renovations to older buildings, including the jail.

ty members singing to each other — some protestors said the event uses homophobic and sexist language;

n Aside from federally re-quired crime statistics, consid-er regularly disclosing more information about assault in-vestigations;

n Stop using comedy troupes for sexual assault education during new student orienta-tion;

n Consider increasing stu-dent roles on the Sexual As-sault Risk Reduction Commit-tee;

n Closely examine the pur-pose of the Sexual Assault Risk Reduction Committee and the Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Advisory Committee.

While protestors were pleased with the breadth of the proposed changes, Ms. Claren-don said she and others wor-ried about when they might happen.

“They had a lot of good things on there and are open to student suggestion, for sure,” she said. “They want to make talking about these issues an easier process on our campus.

“It’s absolutely a good step.”

State reviewIn the short term, Ms. Be-

navides said, the compliance committee urged Southwest-ern to have the Texas Associ-ation Against Sexual Assault review its procedures. The Texas Association Against Sexual Assault last reviewed SU in 2012.

“This will be a comprehen-sive review, including atten-tion to sanctions under the student judiciary process,” Ms. Benavides said.

The Title IX Compliance Committee will meet on a reg-ular basis for the rest of the academic year and provide up-dates at least once a semester on its progress.

“Thank you to all who have been involved in the important dialogue on issues surround-ing sexual assault, rape and sexual misconduct over these past few weeks,” Ms. Bena-vides said in an email to the student body.

“We look forward to con-tinuing our work in collabora-tion with all of you.”

Southwestern officials did not respond to a request for

comment about the proposal.The university has asked for

more input from students. The anonymous Sexual Assault and Campus Climate Survey will be emailed to the student body later this month and be open through April 9. Admin-istrators will use the results to improve how they handle sex-ual assault cases.

In addition, the SU Student Congress plans to hold events discussing sexual assault the week of March 23, culimating in a workshop at 4 p.m. March 27 in the F.W. Olin Building.

In April, SU will host a “Take Back the Night” event, a national movement started in the 1970s to promote aware-ness of sexual assault.

The Thrall Volunteer Fire Department will be able to add to its firefighting arsenal thanks in part to county farm-er Steve Hubnik.

America’s Farmers Grow Communities, a grant pro-gram sponsored by the Mon-santo Fund, presented the de-partment with a $2,500 check February 17.

Mr. Hubnik of Thrall nomi-nated the volunteer organiza-tion, which plans on using the funds to purchase much-need-ed equipment for its brush and

tender trucks to aid in contain-ing wildfires.

“I would like to thank Mr. Hubnik for generously pick-ing our fire department for the funds to be sent to,” Fire Chief Zach Hall said.

“In a small community, it goes a long way and this means a great deal to us.”

Part of the America’s Farm-ers initiative, the grant pro-gram offers farmers a chance to direct a $2,500 donation to the community non-profit or-ganization of their choice.

The Thrall donation was part of $3.3 million that will be distributed to non-profits this year.

Since its founding in 2010, America’s Farmers Grow Communities has collaborated with farmers to donate nearly $20 million to more than 7,300 community organizations across rural America.

Recipients have ranged from 4-H and FFA programs to food pantries, school districts and fire departments with funds being used to fight rural hun-

ger, purchase lifesaving emer-gency equipment and support youth leadership initiatives.

Grow Rural Education is a sister program to the Ameri-ca’s Farmers effort and is cur-rently accepting nominations from farmers interested in supporting math and science education in their communi-ties.

Visit www.GrowRuralEd-ucation.com through April 1 for details on the nomination process.

on the socio-economic scale, so getting folks to vote and understand why they should vote is a chal-lenge for the parties and candidates,” Mr. Davis said. “We have tried to lower the hurdles to voting.”

Casting a ballot is also a different experience in Cameron County, which uses paper ballots. William-son County uses totally electronic in-person voting (with paper mail-in ballots) and utilizes vote centers, so citizens can cast their vote anywhere in the county.

“That’s extremely excit-ing,” Mr. Davis said about the electronic voting. “I’ve been trying to get Cameron County in position to do that. They are well on their way.”

Mr. Davis said he found out about the Williamson job through the Texas Association of Elections Administrators and, with family in the area, figured it was worth applying for.

“The opportunity was a really good one and I want-ed to take a shot at it,” he said.

Mr. Davis takes over with plenty of work to do. Aside from a Georgetown City Council election, other rac-es to be decided in the coun-ty May 9 include contested city council spots in Round Rock, Leander and Cedar Park.

The last day to register to vote is a Thursday, April 9. Early voting begins April 27 and runs through May 5.

Volk’s tenure starts with ‘fair share’ of challenges“I accomplished 95 percent

of what I wanted to do in Utah,” said Mr. Volk, who took over here for interim manager Curtis Benkendorfer.

Mr. Benkendorfer had re-placed Sarah Hinton, who resigned in September 2013 following a stormy two-year re-lationship with airport users.

New opportunity“When this opportunity pre-

sented itself, I thought, ‘Why not?’ My children are grown so my wife and I are empty nesters,” Mr. Volk said.

“We wanted to try a warm-er climate and my son is sta-tioned in the Air Force in San Antonio. There were a lot of pieces to the puzzle but it just made sense.”

With just over six weeks on the job, Mr. Volk is in the early stages of going through all the plans and programs related to the airport.

“It has been an aggressive six weeks. You step into a new organization and you realize that all municipalities run their governments a little dif-ferently,” he said.

“I have been learning how Georgetown does things in budgeting, meetings, protocols — and taking a close look at where things are as they relate to the airport.”

Work startsGeorgetown Municipal Air-

port, at 500 Terminal Drive just west of Interstate 35, has been financially strapped since it took a double whammy hit: the 2008 Great Recession and the opening of Austin Executive Airport in Pflugerville in 2011.

Mr. Volk and city officials hope to make the airport pay

for itself by 2019.“This will not be a quick

fix,” the airport manager said.Mr. Volk has been research-

ing the airport’s plans and pro-grams to see where they stand, what needs to be implemented and what needs to be brought up to date.

“A lot of my role is looking at processes and plans to in-crease efficiency and reduce costs,” Mr. Volk said. “We will lay out a course of action for making this airport self-suffi-cient.”

Several construction pro-jections are on the horizon at the 71-year-old facility, in-cluding the relocation of the underground fuel station and storage facility, replacing run-way lighting and rebuilding a taxiway adjacent to one of the runways.

Those projects are expect-ed to be completed during the next few years to get the air-port in compliance with Fed-eral Aviation Administration standards.

“To their credit, George-

town was moving forward with initiatives long before I got here,” Mr. Volk said.

The airport upgrades have drawn criticism from some nearby neighbors. A group calling itself Airport Con-cerned Citizens has repeated-ly asked that capital improve-ments be put on hold and for the airport to be moved away from the city’s mostly residen-tial west side.

“This aviation industrial center in the heart of our fu-ture city is not the highest and

best use of the airport’s 640 acres,” Hugh Norris, a mem-ber of the group, wrote in a January 2014 letter to the may-or and city council.

“The existing airport is in the wrong location.”

Communication keyMr. Volk and his staff have

used the negotiation of new hangar lease agreements as an opportunity to talk personally with airport tenants.

“I think there’s been good in-teraction. We have reached out

to tenants on a personal basis instead of through a letter,” he said.

“It’s just more personable to make a call. We want to recon-nect with the tenants and this was a perfect time to do that.”

The even-tempered airport manager believes in interact-ing with tenants.

“You cannot please every-body but one of the keys to cooperation is listening — pro-viding people an opportunity to voice their opinion goes a long way,” Mr. Volk said.

Beth Jenkins, owner of Pilot’s Choice Aviation, was visited in person by the new manager.

“He came out very soon af-ter he started so that’s good that the communication is there,” she said.

“I just hope city authorities will give him the opportunity to properly do his job.”

Despite working in a down-turned economy, Mr. Volk brought multiple businesses into the Cedar City airport, in-cluding a helicopter company.

Asked what qualifications vaulted Mr. Volk to the top of consideration for the George-town job, Mr. Polasek said the new manager knows how to ef-fectively work with state agen-cies while also bringing in new tenants.

“And his maintenance ex-pertise is top-notch,” Mr. Po-lasek said.

Next month, Mr. Volk will attend a Texas Department of Transportation aviation conference in San Marcos. For now, he is enjoying discovering what Georgetown is all about.

“It’s been a nice change,” Mr. Volk said.

As National Consumer Protection Week concludes, both the Better Business Bureau and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are en-couraging everyone to be-ware of scams used to bilk residents out of their hard-earned money.

“Every day, Texans lose money to scams and frauds,” Mr. Paxton said.

Mr. Paxton’s website, texasattorneygeneral.gov, provides resources to con-sumers who need help — including victims of iden-tity theft — and provides information to businesses about topics of interest such as training for bank tell-ers to help them recognize schemes that exploit senior customers.

The site also gives citizens the opportunity to receive electronic consumer alerts and other notices that warn them about emerging scams.

“A wide variety of im-portant topics are addressed in the consumer protection section of our website,” the attorney general said.

“The first line of defense against scammers and con

artists is education.”Thieves often prey on old-

er consumers and George-town is home to a significant senior population. In 2012, the Sun City active adult community partnered with Assero Security of Austin to create new security pol-icies and provide security awareness training for Sun City Texas Community As-sociation staff. The firm also reached out to residents by offering free classes.

“Our community serves seniors and seniors are at risk for cybercrimes,” said Carl Zimmerman, informa-tion technology director of the Sun City Texas Commu-nity Association.

“We were pleased when Assero offered to teach an identity theft prevention class at no cost to our resi-dents.”

Additionally, the Bet-ter Business Bureau has launched a new resource page and “scam tracker” to assist consumers.

“The resource page in-cludes helpful tips, articles, videos and a link to a new scam tracker page to help make you a smarter con-sumer,” said Lauren Daniel,

public relations specialist for the bureau.

The scam tracker site, www.bbb.org/central-texas/national-consumer-protec-tion-week, will display the latest scams in your area, along with a place where res-idents can add new scams. The bureau offered these tips:

n Always check out a busi-ness with the bureau; go to bbb.org/central-texas to see a company’s review;

n Get everything in writ-ing and always read the fine print carefully — while it is natural to want to skim through parts of the long-written terms and con-ditions, it is important that customers fully understand their rights and what they’re agreeing to;

n Never wire money to someone you do not know; scammers know it is ex-tremely difficult to track money sent via MoneyGram or Western Union.

n Protect your identity and your pocketbook by al-ways shredding sensitive documents with personal fi-nancial information such as bank, credit card and Social Security numbers.

We’re number 1,and that ain’t good

The Houston Chronicle published a list of the Texas counties with the most debt this past De-cember. Congratulations to Williamson County for being number 1 with the most debt per cap-ita of any county in the state.

In fact, except for Hays county, Williamson County is far and away number 1. Each citizen has over $1,643 in debt, thanks to the county and its veiled progressive agenda.

There are only two counties that have broken the $1,000 mark. The liberals running Travis County have only amassed one-third of our total.

As commissioners look to add more burden to our future and further [constrain] our chil-dren for another decade, we taxpayers can be

absolutely certain that our tax bills will contin-ue to climb.

The ‘R’ word has its place

Thanks, but here’s how it really was

I found Texas Special Olympics public rela-tions man Steve Helm’s letter to the editor titled “We are better than the ‘R’ word” interesting, yet I couldn’t find the ‘R’ word that he wants all us us to discard from our thoughts and vocab-ularies.

Was it that bad? I hope I’m guessing correctly here: I assume

it’s the most over-used teenager noun, and ac-cusation: “REtard!” and the scientific adjective “retarded” (dictionary: “slow or limited intel-lectual or emotional development or academic progress”), the latter used thoughtlessly at the wrong time and the wrong place, usually for a laugh, chuckle or snicker.

During my seven years of substitute teaching at Georgetown and East View high schools, my lesson (providing that I handled the teacher’s lesson first) went like this:

Each September, upon hearing the ‘R’ word casually zip across the classroom at sit-ting-down time, I pointed to a front-row, ninth grade male student and told him, “Point at the guy sitting next to you, and loudly call him the ‘R’ word” noun. He did so. Laughter followed. Next, I told the other boy to retaliate with the ‘R’ word adjective. He quite dramatically pointed at his accuser and yelled it out. Much laughter ensued.

Pause. I walked across the front of the room. Softly, I said to my students, “I had a mentally retarded sister, five years younger than me. I was her hero, her defender.”

The silence was deafening, punctuated by hugely embarrassed “we’re-so-sorry” faces.

“But that’s okay,” I said. “Don’t worry. Don’t apologize. I ordered you

two boys to act it out. Oscars to you both. Now listen up. All of you guys have come together from three middle schools to form a freshman class here. You know your own former class-mates and their families very well, but you really don’t know everything about your new

classmates. What if one of them has a retard-ed brother, sister, relative? What if one of your teachers has the same?

“Guys, what if you’re in your latest new hottie’s home, adding ‘retardeds’ casually to ‘impress’ her with your small-talk humor. She excuses herself, then returns, introducing her ‘different’ little brother while pointing at you and then thumbing toward the front door? Ever thought about that?

“Question: When and where could or should you use these two ‘R’ words? Never? Never say never! Let’s be realistic here.

“When I was 10 and my retarded sister was five, and some bullies teased her in her presence and mine, I went to fist-city numerous times, making them … well … slightly retarded.

“However, other times I’d howl with laugh-ter while watching (then-revered, popular, ad-mired, loveable) Bill Cosby comedy routines on TV. He constantly referred to his own young children as ‘retarded’ when they did or said things that frustrate all parents. America’s par-ents and teen siblings laughed.

“I’ll bet that any of your teachers who abso-lutely rule out ever using the ‘R’ word are the very ones who probably sputter — definitely not in the classroom — ‘idiot,’ ‘moron,’ ‘stupid’ and ‘ignorant’ so many times, and think nothing of it.

“The ‘R’ word can be terribly mean or lightly humorous, depending upon when, where and how you use it. Those nouns and adjectives are gray areas, not black and white. Got it, you guys? Good! Engage brain before speaking!”

Mr. Helm, nobody tears up a pond of happy salty tears larger than mine whenever I watch the Special Olympics on TV. Happy kids, having the time of their lives. My late sister, Anne, con-tributed a very modest sum of money to your fine organization many years ago.

JOHN BREENRio Grande Loop

A hospital’s sagaA long and winding road to St. David’s Georgetown

My first memory of Georgetown Hospi-tal was in 1950 or 1951, when I was in first grade.

I was attempting a new trick — walking on my hands downstairs

off the back porch at our house at 911 Walnut Street — when my arms gave out and my chin met the concrete. I was marched two blocks south to the hospital, where I remember a kindly doctor stitching up my chin.

As Dr. Doug Benold noted in a letter to the editor printed on this page, Georgetown Hospital was then a small private hospital and clinic owned by several Georgetown

physicians, including Dr. Hal Gaddy. The hospital operated in a big reconfigured two-story home just east of Georgetown High School (now Williams Elementa-ry) on 12th Street, the main east-west drag in Georgetown, now University Avenue.

In 1957, Dr. Ben-old was back in his hometown, George-town, having served in the Korean War, and went into part-nership with Dr. Gad-dy. They renamed

the facility Georgetown Medical and Surgical Hospital and Clinic. Benold and Gaddy took on several other young family physicians as partners: Drs. James Shepherd, John Webb and Richard Pearce.

In his letter, Benold wrote that he wanted to correct the historical record reflected in a piece about a generous gift of land to the Boys & Girls Club of Georgetown by himself and his wife, Nell; Shepherd and his wife, Judy; and Gaddy, who now lives in Tyler.

I, too, want to right the record because I inserted most of the errors that Benold has pointed out. It just goes to show that memory

is a highly fallible thing, even when (perhaps especially when) one has been hearing stories forever about a particular subject, and feels sure of one’s facts.

I always preach to our Sun reporters to verify, verify and verify — but in this case, I trusted my memory and got us into trouble.

n

When I encountered it, the doctors’ hospital had been going strong for decades. Built in 1923 — I am relying here on my mother’s history of Williamson County, Land of Good Water — by Dr. S.S. Martin and his two sons, Dr. John R. Martin and Dr. Walter Martin, it was purchased by Dr. Gaddy and two partners in 1947 and giv-en a complete renovation. At that point, wrote Mama Clara Stearns Scarbrough, it was con-sidered “extremely up-to-date, with complete facilities and 40 beds for patients.”

There was an even earlier hospital in Georgetown that opened on Ash Street on January 1, 1918, and was called the King’s Daughters Sanitarium of Georgetown.

All through the 1940s and 1950s, George-town’s population stayed fairly stable. The same could be said of the county at large.

Williamson County grew steadily from its founding until the Great Depression: then the population declined from a high of 44,146 in 1930 to 41,698 in 1940. The population con-tinued to drop throughout the ‘40s and ‘50s, reflecting a striking migration from farming areas to the cities and mass industrialization of agriculture that occurred across the nation in the wake of World War II.

So in little Georgetown in the 1950s, a small hospital and clinic served the population quite well when the population was about 5,000. Medicine was a far less complex affair then, and small town doctors often made house calls to deal with common ailments like measles, chickenpox and influenza. Serious illnesses were frequently referred out of town, to Aus-tin, to Scott & White in Temple and to the VA in Waco or M.D. Anderson in Houston.

But with the coming of Interstate 35 in the 1960s and the promise of ample water supplies in a new lake on the San Gabriel River’s North Fork, Georgetown, along with the county, be-gan to grow handsomely. In 1970, Georgetown’s population swelled to 6,395 residents, while the county’s population grew, for the first time since the Twenties, to 37,305 people.

With this growth, private physician-owned hospitals could not hope to raise money to expand or purchase the technological marvels that were becoming necessary to the practice of medicine everywhere.

n

In the late 1970s, a movement to build a community hospital swept Georgetown, led by Drs. Benold, Gaddy, Shepherd, Webb and Pearce. Two key people responsible for the creation of the Georgetown Hospital Author-ity were hospital administrator Ken Poteete and the late J.H. “Buster” Compton, owner of the Chevrolet car dealership, who led a fund-

raising campaign that raised half a million dollars — a stunning amount in the late Seventies.

On June 3, 1979, the new Georgetown Hospital was dedicated — a modern facil-ity right off an exit from I-35 and surrounded by a cluster of medical services, includ-ing the new Family Practice Clinic and Wesleyan Nursing Home.

n

It was a heady feeling, seeing that sprawling new medical plant in the south-west corner of Old George-town while shooting photos of it from an airplane flown by Old Hodge. One felt that Georgetown had come of age.

And then, of course, we had the boom of the 1980s, which stalled after the collapse of oil prices in 1986, and then a slightly less ebul-lient boom that marked most of the 1990s and the early part of our present century.

During this period, here in Georgetown, as we have grown from a small town into a small city, we have seen a huge expansion of Round Rock’s hospital and its transformation into St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center; two big new hospitals built from scratch between Georgetown and Round Rock,

Seton Medical Center Williamson and Scott & White Hospital Round Rock; and once it be-came clear that the community hospital model could not compete with larger medical groups, Georgetown Hospital’s purchase in May 2006 by St. David’s HealthCare System and its metamorphosis into St. David’s Georgetown Hospital, a 98-bed facility that last year was listed by Truven Health Analytics among the “Nation’s Top 100 Hospitals.”

It has been a dizzying ride, our transition from a town where family doctors were the norm, to a city where almost any kind of med-ical specialist can be found, often in triplicate.

It is true that those three early physicians — Hal Gaddy, Doug Benold and James Shepherd — didn’t make it all happen.

But what they did achieve — with the help of many others — was remarkable.

Martin Hospital, above, at 605 East 12th Street (University Ave-nue) in 1926. The hospital would be sold and renamed Georgetown Hospital and later Georgetown Medical and Surgical Hospital. Below, the new Georgetown Hospital, to the right, in 1979, along with a new clinic, to the left, and Wesleyan Nursing Home, above.

I want to compliment Natalie Townsend on her well-written article in the Sun concerning the gift of land to the Boys & Girls Club by the Shepherds, Benolds and Hal Gaddy (“Gift of land allows kids’ club room to grow,” March 1); however, I feel obligated to correct a few histor-ical facts mentioned in the story.

Natalie states that Dr. Gaddy and I “founded Georgetown Hospital (now St. David’s George-town Hospital).” This local hospital opened in 1979 and Drs. Gaddy, Benold, Shepherd, Webb and Pearce started it with a huge amount of ef-fort by Ken Poteete, our hospital administrator, along with a wonderful outpouring of work and gifts by our local citizens.

The Georgetown Community Clinic was started much later in 2002 by Drs. Jane Shep-herd, James Shepherd and Doug Benold as physicians but with the help of many local people who donated time and money to get it established.

I was a long-time member of the school board but was president for only a short time.

Dr. Gaddy and I became partners in 1957 and shared ownership of the small private hospital and medical clinic on University Avenue, but

the hospital had been built in 1924 for Drs. John and Walter Martin. Dr. Gaddy and two partners bought the Martin Hospital and renovated it in 1947.

The Williamson County EMS was started in 1972 with the cooperation of our medical group and the Williamson County officials, but Ken Poteete, our hospital administrator, did most of the planning work to get it started.

I’m sending in these historical corrections because a lot of people besides us three doctors were involved in what happened through the years to enhance the quality of medical care in Georgetown.

DOUG BENOLD15th Street

Editor’s note: Two of the errors attributed to Ms. Townsend were, in fact, inserted into the copy by Linda Scarbrough, who thought that the private hospital had morphed directly into Georgetown Hospital. Ms. Scarbrough did not realize the pri-vate hospital and the 1979 Georgetown Hospital were two unrelated entities. She also incorectly made Dr. Benold the “long-time president” of the school board.

On the evening of March 2 Ann passed away at Baylor Scott and White Hospital with her husband and family at her side. Ann was 82 years young.

Ann Louise Weav-er was born on May 12, 1932, in Lincoln, Nebraska. Her parents were Louis and Beatrice Weaver. She graduat-ed from Lincoln High School, Grinnell College and later fur-thered her education with a Masters degree in Education.

Ann met and married the love of her life, Paul Barry and they shared almost 60 years to-gether. Ann and Paul moved to Dallas early in their marriage and raised their three children together.

Ann was a math teacher for the DISD for over 20 years.

After retirement, Ann and Paul moved to Sun City, George-town, in 2003 and spent 12 won-derful years there.

Ann was involved in the community and served on several boards in Sun City and Georgetown. She was also involved with the Santa Rosa Catholic Church. She served as a Eucharistic minister and was involved in the ACTS retreat.

She was a world traveler, loved to read, loved her com-puter, and loved her swimming

class, her book club and animals.

But, most of all, she loved her family.

She was the best wife, mom, grand-mother and friend, and we miss her greatly.

Ann is preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband, Paul; son, Mike and his wife Lisa; daughter, Michelle; son, Tom and his wife Ann; and two grandchildren, Austin and Katy.

Visitation took place at the Cook-Walden Davis Funeral Home in Georgetown on Friday, March 6, 5 to 6 p.m. and a Rosa-ry followed at 6 p.m. A funeral mass was held Saturday, March 7, at 10 a.m. at Santa Rosa Cath-olic Church in Andice. Recep-tion to follow the service.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the ASPCA or St. Vincent DePaul Society.

Words of comfort may be shared with the family at www.cookwaldendavisfuneralhome.com.

A successful penalty kick with 16 minutes and 32 seconds remaining in the second half gave Georgetown a 1-0 victory over crosstown rival East View Tuesday night at the GISD Ath-letic Complex.

That victory, coupled with Dripping Springs’ 5-1 loss to Vista Ridge, guaranteed coach Sam McCutchen’s Lady Eagles (7-3-1) a berth in the 5A state playoffs and no worse than fourth place in District 25-5A with three matches to play. East View remained in sixth place at 2-9-0.

Georgetown senior Bailey Fithian put the penalty kick past East View senior keep-er Brittany Maldonado after Lady Eagle junior Caitlin An-derson was taken down in the box.

GHS junior keepers Katrina Buck and Ashley Hoffa split the shutout in goal — George-town’s 10th of the season.

“Tonight’s match was very intense from the get-go between two talented and much-improved rivals,” Mc-Cutchen said. “This game spoke well for the state of soc-cer in Georgetown ISD.

“I was very pleased with the play of our goalkeepers and defense throughout the match. Baylee Ford and her defenders — Kyleigh Ellis and Alexis Barrientez — played a near-perfect game. Caitlin Anderson performed well and gave us the effort necessary to make the win possible.”

McCutchen also praised Brandi Lugo, Amy Lucroy, Sarah Holden, Payton Nunez, Shawna High, Caitlin Ander-son and Sabrina Pescatore for “their excellent team play” up front and Bailey Fithian, Kay-la Fithian, Norma Montanez, Ashley Thiel and Camryn So-rensen in the midfield.

For EV coach Jim Dona-hue, like McCutchen in his first year with a new team, the way the Pats lost was hard to

accept.“It was tough losing on a

PK but we played well and I’m pleased with the team,” he said.

After the East View game, GHS trailed front-running Vandegrift, the defending state champion, by an insur-mountable 11 points, but was only three points behind sec-ond-place Cedar Park and a point behind third-place Vista Ridge in the battle for playoff

seeding. After playing Vista Ridge Friday, the Lady Eagles close out the season at home Tuesday against Dripping Springs and at Vandegrift March 13.

East View’s Maldonado faced 12 shots, while Hoffa and Buck were credited with five saves in a high-spirited and, at times, physical battle.

“Tonight, it was crazy,” Maldonado said of the tense

East View boys top District 25-5A

B y G A L E N W E L L N I C K I

Three Georgetown seniors have made their decision on where they will continue their soccer and academic careers.

Bailey Fithian and Caylee Kidwell have signed with NCAA Division I schools — Fithian with Arkansas-Little Rock of the Sun Belt Conference and Kidwell with North-western State of the Southland Conference — and Kyleigh Ellis has announced she will play for Hardin-Simmons of the NCAA Division III American Southwest Conference.

All three Lady Eagles said they felt right choosing the next stop in their careers.

“I really liked the campus life, coach, team and academ-ics,” said Fithian, who will play in the midfield for the Trojans (11-8-1 last season). “It felt like the perfect fit for me.”

“It encompasses everything I was searching for when visiting schools — a beautiful town [Natchitoches, Loui-siana], an amazing coach and an extremely hard-working team,” said Kidwell, who will be a center midfielder for the Demons, who were 6-12-1 last year.

Ellis, who will play center back for H-SU (which went 16-3 and qualified for the NCAA playoffs last year), simply said, “The campus feels like home.”

When asked what they will add to their future schools’ program and what motivates them, the three answered:

n Fithian: “I will add enthusiasm and energy as well as Russell Rinn

East View’s 2-1 victory Tuesday night over George-town was more than just a spirited, somewhat ragged and sometime chippy battle between neighboring rivals on the Patriots’ pitch.

With three games remain-ing in the 25-5A soccer chase, coach Frank Litterst’s Pa-triots claimed the district championship with an 11-0-0 record, 11 points ahead of the second-place Eagles (7-3-1), who nailed down a playoff position with the aid of Vista Ridge’s 2-1 upset of fifth-place Dripping Springs.

“Doing this in this district — as tough as it is — is some-thing special," Litterst said when told that Marble Falls had up-ended third-place Lean-der, clearing East View’s claim to the title.

“So far, this team has ac-complished much more than I expect-ed. We’re a team with 19 seniors, so it’s special for them. We won district last year, but it was a much-weaker district.”

The Patriots are 17-0-1 overall and 11-0 in 25-5A this season. Last year, the team won the District 50-4A title but lost in the second round of the playoffs.

On Tuesday, the Patriots applied considerable pres-sure to the GHS defense and freshman keeper Miles Motakef, although they only found the back of the net twice.

“It’s always a wild and cra-zy game when the two of us play,” Litterst said. “It’s never over until the time runs out. We had more opportunities in the first half than the one goal we scored. We need to finish in those situations.”

For the playoff-clinching Eagles, coach Wes Kidd said: “I am very happy for the boys to have clinched a playoff

berth.“That is now 25 out 26

years making the playoffs for Georgetown High School. We now have our sights set on trying to get the best finish we can in district. We control our destiny in trying to get a second place finish. Again, I am extremely happy for these guys.

“East View is a good team and it was a battle out there tonight."

The Patriots took a 1-0 lead with a minute and 17 seconds remaining in the first half. Senior Leonel Jaramillo stole the ball and fired a cross into a crowd in front of the net. The ball bounced off GHS defender Jesse Zavala for an own goal. At first from the

sideline, it appeared the EV sopho-more Miuller Avila had scored.

East View upped the count to 2-0 with 17:24 to play as senior Bry-an Argueta scored with a header off an assist by se-nior Shawn Moynihan.

G e o r g e -town de-prived East View of its 10th shutout in district

action with 15:45 remaining in the contest when Bryan Soto-Mendez put the ball into the net off an assist by Luis Diaz.

The score was initiated by a free kick — one of several calls questioned and disput-ed by either Litterst or Kidd along with the partisans in the stands.

Litterst, a longtime assis-tant to Kidd at GHS before East View opened, and Kidd conducted a running and often-humorous dialogue during the match — verbal point and counterpoint for 80 minutes, and then a big hug and smiles after the match.

Georgetown and East View each received three yellow cards during a match that had several big hits and scrums, including one sec-

ond-half confrontation that moved several yards down the field before it was com-pletely broken up.

East View, which played Leander Friday, will finish out the regular season at home Tuesday against Cedar Park at 7:15 p.m. and then March 13 at Marble Falls at 7:15 p.m.

Georgetown (11-4-3 on the year), after playing Vista Ridge Friday, will try to nail down the runner-up spot and second playoff seeding out of 25-5A with games at Dripping Springs at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday and Vandegrift at home at 7:15 p.m. March 13.

n

Both teams won make-up games Monday night that were postponed from Friday

by winter weather. The Patri-ots bested Dripping Springs 2-0 and the Eagles downed Marble Falls by the same count.

East View scored once in each half against the Tigers. Sophomores Oscar DeLeon and Jason Martin combined for a score in the first half and senior Tommy Ketter-hagen scored after senior Eduardo Zuluaga played the ball into the box in the second half.

Senior keeper Brendan Soto added another shutout.

Eagle scores against the Mustangs came from sopho-more Christian Soto-Mendez in the first half and Luis Diaz on a line drive past the keeper from 20 yards out in the sec-ond half.

Golf fans in Austin and environs are finally going to see the elite of the PGA Tour up close and personal next year.

That’s when the WGC-Dell Match Play begins a four-year run in Austin, probably at the Austin Country Club, which is undergoing major renova-tions this year.

The top 50 players in the world golf rankings auto-matically qualify as well as various other top finishers from the previous year.

It will have been a sev-en-year drought of major professional golf action in the area. The Champions Tour played in Austin from 2003 through 2009.

Prior to that, the LPGA Tour played at Onion Creek Golf Club around the turn of the century.

Next year the match play event will be held from March 23 to 27.

That is the week after the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the week before the Shell Houston Open. The Masters in Georgia follows April 7, 2016.

A revised format also comes into play for the World Golf Championships — since both Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were eliminated in the first round two years ago.

Single elimination is history.

Now, the 64 golfers will be split into 16 four-man groups for the first three days.

The player with the best record in each grouping will advance to the round of 16

on Saturday — and then onto the quarterfinals, semis and championship round Sunday.

Lady PiratesSouthwestern’s women

opened the team golf season this past week over a tough track at Comanche Trace in Kerrville.

It appears the golf course came out ahead of the seven teams competing in the March 2-3 event.

Southwestern coach Dan Ruyle said, “The greens are also bent (grass) and were rolling pretty fast.”

Trinity won with 658 while the host Schreiner women posted 698 for a distant second and Southwestern came in sixth with 717.

Bernice Leonard, howev-er, provided two consistent rounds of 81 for 162 to pace the Lady Pirates. She finished in third only three strokes be-hind Trinity’s Hanna Ninner

with 159.“Bernice hit the ball pretty

well,” Ruyle said. “She could have won if her short game would have been better. Over-all, she is having a very nice year.”

Keeley Coburn shot 172, Lauren Boone had 176 and Jenny Smith posted 207 to complete the Southwestern scoring.

Coach Ruyle only has four women on the team this year.

In tournament competition, up to five players may par-ticipate, with the four lowest scores computed to determine the winning team.

Southwestern and Berry Creek Country Club will be hosting the West Region Invitational in early April, which is the next event for the Lady Pirates. There will be nine women’s teams partici-pating, according to the coach, and eight in the men’s field, including four or five of the top 25 nationally.

Junior tourThe South Texas PGA

junior golf tour came to Georgetown last month, and two members of the local high schools participated with some success.

Lucas Garza of Georgetown High School and Payden Clayman of East View High School played in the one-day tourney. Both shot 82 and tied for third.

Two others shot 81 and tied for medalist honors.

Berry Creek Country Club hosted the spring series event February 22.

Vernon Killen, who coaches the boys teams at both schools, likes the idea of competing in such events.

“I like to see them compete as much as they want,” he said.

The South Texas PGA hosts a couple dozen junior events from January through May, giving aspiring golfers a chance to play on a variety of courses in the region.

After years away, pro golf returns to Austin

Players base choices on academics, soccer programs

Defensive end’s college choice takes him to AbileneB y G A L E N W E L L N I C K I

Georgetown senior defen-sive end Micah Downs has announced that he will take his aggressive style of play to the Hardin-Simmons Univer-sity Cowboys of the American Southwest Conference.

HSU, an NCAA Division III school in Abilene with an enrollment of approximately 2,300 students, is a perennial power in American Southwest football. The Cowboys went 6-3 last season and 3-2 in the con-ference.

“I feel I’m adding experi-ence to the team, even as a freshman,” Downs said. “I had the privilege at Georgetown to play/travel to 49 total games in my high school career. That’s almost a full extra season that most players do not get to ex-perience.

“If I described myself as an athlete, I would say deter-mined. I never turn down com-petition and when a coach asks for something to be done, I will

get it done.”Downs says he will immedi-

ately fit into the Hardin-Sim-mons program.

“The defense is returning 10 of 11 starters, but they plan on using me in the rotation and on third-down situations my freshman year,” he said.

As for getting ready for the next level, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Downs said, “I real-ly need to work on my strength. I’m a big dude, but I just have not put it all together.

“GHS has prepared me many ways as an athlete [for

the next level], but even more as a man. The love and com-mitment I feel at Georgetown is exactly what I feel at HSU.”

He pointed to his Christian faith as his prime motivation, saying, “Jesus has done so much for me and I am unde-serving, so when I start com-plaining or getting compla-cent, I remember what He did for me.”

Why Hardin-Simmons?“[Cowboys head coach] Jer-

ry Burleson said that Micah looks like our kind of guy," Georgetown head coach Jason Dean said. “He’s a great fit for HSU — the small campus and Abilene.

“We’re looking for him to have a real good career for the Cowboys.”

Downs, who plans to major in marketing, agrees with his coaches — present and future. “Abilene is full of loving people who want you to succeed,” he said. “The school and football program was just something I could not pass up.”

As for long-term goals, Downs said he wanted to de-velop into an all-conference performer for the Cowboys and move on to career in sports management. “I want to be in-volved in young athletes’ lives and travel the world and share the good news of Jesus,” he said.

He pointed to his parents, four sisters, Brett Levy and GHS coaches Jason Dean, Chuck Griffin, David Patter-son and Tim Knicky as key persons in his development. “The whole GHS coaching staff — they are my dads away from home. I cannot thank them enough.”

Although he didn’t play in the game, Downs points to being on the Eagles team that played Denton Guyer for the 2012 state title as the highlight of his career.

That was “very cool,” he said, and he will be looking for more very cool accomplish-ments during his days with the Cowboys.

a little Texas spirit to the team. I’m dedicated, focused, hard-working and love the game of soccer …. The game motivates me, playing with an awesome team, wanting to get better every time I step on the field.”

n Kidwell: “My knowledge of the game, vision on the field and aggressive mentality …. I never back down from a chal-lenge and am extremely hard working. I’m always trying to push my self physically and mentally …. Knowing that ev-ery time I step on that field I have the opportunity to better myself.”

n Ellis: “I feel my composure

will help keep my teammates stay calm and relaxed. I’m committed, focused and pas-sionate …. Being able to better myself as player every time I step on the field."

Asked what she needed to do to prepare for the next lev-el, Fithian said she needed to adjust to the speed of play, making quicker decisions on the ball.

Kidwell said she needed to build her physical strength and improve her knowledge of the game.

Ellis also answered in kind: “Recognizing certain situa-tions.”

As for goals:n Fithian: “Graduate from

college and become a physi-

cians assistant and become a starter on my college team and enjoy the time I have left to play the game I love.”

n Kidwell: “I actually would love to play professionally in another country after college. I plan on majoring in health and nutrition and minoring in psychology.”

n Ellis: “I want to be a phys-ical therapist and I want to enjoy every minute I have left playing the game.”

As for what playing at GHS under coaches Sam McCutch-en and Steve McBride contrib-uted to their development, Kid-well gave the comprehensive answer: “I’ve learned many different styles of play as well as developed my leadership

skills. I also learned to value teammates as a family.”

Fithian listed winning a state championship with her club team and getting to travel to Germany for competition with German teams and watch the Women’s World Cup as her career highlights.

Kidwell listed her college commitment as her highlight. “It’s such an amazing feeling,” she said.

"Winning multiple playoff games in a row on penalty kick shootouts,” Ellis said.

All three Lady Eagles gave credit to their GHS and club coaches, families, friends and teachers for their development in athletics and as individuals.

As for the successful GHS penalty kick, Maldonado said, “I had this one, I saw it …. I just should have dove a little farther.”

East View faced Leander Friday night and will close its season at Cedar Park Tuesday and at Marble Falls March 13.

W ILL IAMSON COUNTY

Meals on Wheels

looks for champions

HERE A CHICK, THERE A CHICK

B y N A T A L I E T O W N S E N D

Deborah Hunt will take a break from juggling her duties as the county’s tax assessor/collector and hop in a car Wednesday to support a cause near and dear to her heart — Meals on Wheels.

Ms. Hunt is one name on a growing, county-wide list of public figures that will deliver hot food to homebound seniors during Champions Week, the highlight of the 13th annual March for Meals campaign designed to spread the word about the Meals on Wheels programs.

Ms. Hunt’s history with the program can be traced back to the early 1970s when she helped found the program known nationwide as Meals on Wheels.

“We were just a bunch of young crazy women,” she said. “You tell us what the needs are and we’ll take care of it.”

She and other members of the Junior Women’s Club of Manassas in Virginia lobbied Congress for grant funding to feed seniors. The funds awarded were then used to start the nation’s pilot program.

“When we got the grant, I did deliver meals at first and found it difficult to schedule my time,” Ms. Hunt said. “If I recall, we each had six stops to make and I had difficulty cutting off conversations and moving on to the next stop, so eventually I became program chair and scheduled all the visits, juggled volunteers and made sure pick-ups were being made.”

Ms. Hunt is scheduled to ride along with a volunteer from 10:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. — but if her past is any indication, it might take her all afternoon, she said.

“I really have trouble with time management because folks want to visit and we can talk all after-noon,” Ms. Hunt said.

Meals on Wheels fills a two-fold need for seniors, Ms. Hunt said. One is a nutritional need, and the other is a basic need for human interaction.

Meals on Wheels is adminis-tered through Williamson-Burnet County Opportunities, an almost 50-year-old non-profit that also manages the Head Start program and offers emergency assistance and affordable housing.

When Ms. Hunt returned to Texas, increased responsibility as tax assessor/collector consumed her schedule and left her unable to participate in Meals on Wheels, so she is looking forward to getting back in the saddle for Champions Week.

“When they asked me to, I said, ‘I’ll be happy to. It will be nostalgic and I’ll enjoy doing it,’” she said.

More than an old brickB y M I C H A E L F R E E M A N

It’s not just a brick. To Vir-ginia Yates, it’s part of Texas history.

The Round Rock woman will be selling the bricks she’s collected over the years from the little town of Rising Star, Texas, at Georgetown’s Mar-ket Days, slated for March 14 on the Square.

Ms. Yates has at least 900 red bricks, each imprinted with a star. Even though she hasn’t settled on a price, she plans to sell 777 of them be-cause it’s the perfect number.

“There’s nothing pristine about them,” Ms. Yates said. “They’ve been through a fire, but the star is good on all of

them. The star is the thing.”Through her research at

the museum in Rising Star, the bricks were part of a Hig-ginbotham Brothers building.

In the city’s early history, fires destroyed buildings in Rising Star, including a build-ing owned by Higginbotham

Brothers, a general store chain. Today, Higginbotham specializes in hardware supplies and is based in Comanche. With more than 30 locations around the state, the closest one to Georgetown is in Gatesville.

Rising Star, situated north of Brownwood, has fewer than 1,000 residents. Higgin-botham’s no longer operates in the town.

In 1927, the company used bricks to rebuild its Rising Star store. The source of the bricks with a star is under question. Some sources point to Ranger, Texas; others to Thurber, which is now a Tex-as ghost town.

MARKET DAYS

Saturday, March 14

9 a.m.- 4 p.m. – Vendors will sell jewelry, home decor, food and more on the Square. The monthly event will run on the second Saturday until November.

Everywhere a chick, chick

Photos by Andy Sharp

About two dozen people stopped by Georgetown Farm Supply on February 28 for a free seminar about chick-ens.

Many attendees owned chickens and were

looking for some tips on raising and caring for them. Others were thinking about getting chickens. The store, 1300 West Universi-ty Avenue, had several show chickens and crates of chicks on display for the seminar.

Last year, Georgetown Farm Supply sold 28,000 birds, including chickens, guinea fowls and ducks.

Chicks were available to those interested in raising chickens. Below left, Jaclyn Casillas, right, with daughter Juliana, 10, asks a question at the seminar. Jaclyn and her husband, Anthony, who live in Georgetown, have seven chickens at home, but would like to add more.

Visitors to the Georgetown Square have plenty to look for-ward to throughout the year for their downtown fun.

The Downtown Georgetown Association has a number of events lined up between now and December, including the 35th annual Christmas Stroll and the Art and Wine in the Square festival.

First FridayEvery month, residents

and tourists are invited to the Square for the monthly First Friday, which features live music at the Georgetown Win-ery, Grape Creek Winery, Ken’z Guitars and Music Store, Roots Bistro and Gumbo’s North.

First Friday is held every first Friday of the month until November. Downtown mer-chants keep their doors open for later hours.

“We don’t close the streets or provide anything extra,” said Lori Wendel, event co-ordinator for the Downtown Georgetown Association. “It’s just a time when merchants stay open late and people are providing live music.”

Market DaysSome streets are closed ev-

ery second Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for Market Days, which begins March 14.

Each month, the Downtown Georgetown Association will feature five to 10 new vendors with an array of goods, rang-ing from handmade jewelry, art, plants, children’s items and gourmet foods. Vendors will come around the state.

“We have some local arti-sans and crafts, along with some retail vendors as well,” Ms. Wendel said. “We have about 90-plus vendors allowed in the Square — about 2,000 people come out to this every month.”

The Square’s Spring Fling Girls Night Out will be March 26 from 5 to 9 p.m. The night will be filled with wine, cham-pagne, food samplings and

discounts at participating lo-cations.

Art and Wine This year will also feature

the Square’s Wine Festival in the Square. Details about when

the event will be have yet to be determined, but it’s set for some time in September.

The festival will feature 10 wineries for wine tastings and live music will be happening all around downtown, Ms. Wendel said.

“We hope to recruit some lo-cal art vendors to incorporate that with the Wine Fest,” Ms. Wendel said. “The art coordi-nator that did it last year with us is not doing it again this year.”

Boo BashThe Boo Bash will also make

a return this year on October 31 from 5 to 8 p.m. The event is a safe way for children to go trick-or-treating around the Square.

Children are encouraged wear their costumes down-town and trick-or-treat at mer-chants’ doors, which stay open after normal business hours.

“Last year, the event drew in quite a few people — I couldn’t say how many,” Ms. Wendel said. “But, we ran out of can-dy at quite a few of the shops around the Square.”

Christmas StrollThe 35th annual Christmas

Stroll will be December 4-5 from 5 to 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., respectively.

Children will get to meet the Grinch at the Stroll’s Who-Vil-lage, while others can walk through history in the Beth-lehem village. The event will also offer festival foods and about 125 vendors.

“This is kind of our land-mark year, so we’re trying to do something special for it,” Ms. Wendel said.

It’s been a while since we ex-perienced this much mud.

“Mud” is such an expres-sive word; “muddy” is even more so. Flat and dour, the

words lie stuck like glue along with “mire” and “boggy.”

It is forbidden in this house to complain about rain, no matter what the circumstanc-es.

If there is a picnic planned, an outdoor barbecue, a wed-ding, the finals of any major game presently in season, a big race (car or horse), all pale beside the need and desire for good, soaking rain.

Fortunately, there is a loophole in the rule, as there usually is, and it didn’t take a Houston lawyer to find it. Nobody ever mentioned the possibility of dissing mud, the natural result of precipi-tation.

I use the term “precipi-tation” because we haven’t really had any beneficial rain yet. All we’ve been subjected to is drizzle, mizzle, mist and fog, and they create a far bigger mess underfoot than a good, hard rain, without the positive aspect of replenish-ing lakes and adding to the subsoil moisture.

Every leaf, twig, and stem drips incessantly. Huge drops of water line the fence wires and gates, so that when you open and close a gate you get a smeary hand and/or a shower of cold droplets.

The back porch and the dog room have water beaded on the surface of the floor; it never dries. Going in and out adds dirt to the mix, which equals mud. The rock walk out front has collected puddles of water and mud that cannot be avoided and must be waded through.

It’s hard to believe there is so much mud outside; most of it seems to be brought inside on doggy paws and even the cats leave small, neat tracks when they come in the cat door. Boots stand beside the back door, soles encased in black clods interwoven with hay and leaves; bootjacks have been unearthed and lie close at hand.

Thing is, when I’m going out the front door, my boots are at the back door, and vice versa. The obvious answer is two pairs of boots, but I know that wouldn’t solve a thing. No matter how I tried, both pairs would wind up crouched together at the door I am not going to exit.

The scenario goes like this: I go out, align the boots for easy donning, step out of one shoe and Sara (the Pyr) rush-es up to express her pleasure at my being available for a rub or two, which she does. She weighs about 120 pounds, so her affectionate gestures are not without consequence. I wobble, the boot falls over, and my socked foot hits the yucky concrete.

Now I have a muddy sock to thrust into a (fairly) dry boot.

Having no choice, I do so, and repeat the process with the other foot. I then place my shoes out of reach of any-body interested in chewing, lying on or dragging them off through the mud and go about my business. Coming back to the house, I step on the boot jack and ease off the first boot, balancing precariously on the still-booted foot.

At some point Sara notices me and the clean sock hits the muddy porch. This is repeated every time I need to do something outside. I wash a lot of socks.

When this particular epi-sode of drizzly bad weather began, I kept a roll of paper towels beside the back door to clean off the Terrorists’ paws. They feel it is their duty to make a mad dash outside every time the door is opened and a chance to chase something presents itself. This chase takes them straight out across the yard which, by virtue of being pretty much grassless right now and having a couple of Pyr-sized holes that were dug during the summer, is a sea of mud in spots.

The Terrorists’ track takes

them straight across the worst of it and they arrive back at the door with feet the size of dinner plates.

They take umbrage at being asked to stand patiently while I strip the gumbo from between their pads and clean the worst of the mud off, but they do it. Twenty times a day, they do it.

If they had manners and were well trained, they would stand politely inside the door until released to go out. Or so I’m told, fairly often, usually by either Papa or Grandson Two.

The upshot of the prevail-ing situation is that I have abandoned the paper towels, which my back appreciates, and simply make them stand on the rug outside until most of the mud falls off.

Since they are dancing about in frenzied anticipation of the door opening, it doesn’t take long. Then I just mop up the muddy tracks they leave; they’re not hard to find.

On some especially bad days, I may just do that every 10th time they rush in. Who’s counting?

Tess is far more restrained and doesn’t care much for

mud and wet ground. She picks her way delicately to a convenient spot, does what she went out to do, and minc-es her way back in. I hardly have to wipe her feet at all. My sweet girl!

Papa has been using some old shoes to plow his way to the barn, but at the rate we’re having babies, he’s made quite a few trips and the shoes have disappeared in a casing of black mud. Every time I said he needed boots, he pooh-poohed it, so I bought him some myself.

It’s almost a shame to ini-tiate them into the muck and mire, but after all that’s what they’re made for.

He has yet to use them, and I would simply hide his old shoes except that I’m afraid he might just set out in his good ones.

Ah well, I’m sure that in mid-summer I will long for days like these. I think.

Mary Fenoglio has lived on the same farm near Andice since 1975 with Papa, their family, and assorted animal friends. Email her at feno-glio38@gmail.com. Website: www.eggsinmypocket.com.

Orchestra ready to get marchingEnjoy classical music

this weekend as the Wil-liamson County Symphony Orchestra, in its 13th season, performs twice.

The first free concert as part of its March Madness series will be Friday at the First United Methodist Church, 1004 North Mays Street in Round Rock, at 7:30 p.m. The second concert will be Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Georgetown High School Klett Performing Arts Center, 2211 North Austin Avenue.

1978 movie.The orchestra will also

premiere composer-in-resi-dence M.L. Daniels’ arrange-ment that he has entitled Creation Dawns.

Do you need a princess in your life?

Then, three-year-old Princess is for you. Princess lost her home when her family moved and didn’t take her (or her two canine buddies) with them. She is a bit shy right now but is affectionate and loves to be petted and scratched on her rump.

This lady just needs a patient, gentle owner to let her come out of her shell in her own time. She has lived with dogs and children.

She is spayed, cur-rent on vaccines, mi-cro-chipped, and litterbox savvy.

This lovely dilute calico spends her days gazing out of the window, dreaming of her fairy “tail” ending where she gets swept into a lifetime of happily ever after.

One-year-old Derek is a sight for sore eyes!

Just look at those heart-throb eyes and handsome, red merle markings. It’s hard to believe that Derek has been at the shelter long enough to earn himself a place in the Unique Breed Club, but here he waits.

He is now known as a Texas Red-Coated Ranch Hound, and he is ready to be a forever compan-ion in a loving home. He has long, lean legs and walks gracefully and with elegance.

He gets along well with other dogs and children. He is a gentle guy who loves petting and going on walks. He is smart and ready to learn new tricks; all he needs is someone to teach him. He is neutered, current on vaccines, micro-chipped, and house-trained.

“I had never seen a concave star for one,” said Deborah Yates, Virginia’s daughter. “Rising Star was such a hub. It was an important place, and Higgin-botham’s was part of that. If these bricks could talk…”

The two, along with Deborah’s sister Diana, noticed the bricks in 2002 when they would drive to Rising Star to take bluebonnet photos. The bricks were stacked on a concrete slab next to a sign advertising they were for sale, so Ms. Yates would leave some money as she collected them.

“I took 200 at a time back to Round Rock,” Ms. Yates said.

It took eight trips over the course of two years for her to get them all. She has sold some and plans to sell a majority of the remaining bricks. Ms. Yates isn’t sure what she’ll do with the rest.

“I’ll find a use for them,” she said.

Big top coming to Granger

Elephants, tigers and clowns — Grang-er will see it all Wednesday.

The Kelly Miller Circus, a one-ring traveling circus based in Hugo, Oklaho-ma, will make a one-day stop in the city to perform two shows, one at 4:30 and the other at 7:30 p.m., each two hours long.

“It’s a traditional circus in a big top, which you don’t see that often,” said Jim Royal, general manager of Kelly Miller Circus. “It appeals to all ages.”

The circus has been in business since 1938, and travels the country for 38 weeks, making dozens of stops, most for only a day. On Wednes-day, the cir-cus will set up camp at the Blackland Co-op Gin, 100 West Ash Street. About 1,100 peo-ple can fit inside to watch the perfor-mances, which are full of suspense and comedy, Mr. Royal said.

The circus features a big cat tamer with nine tigers, a husband-wife acro-batic dancing team, a juggler, trapeze artists, a Finnish ventriloquist and a dancing elephant named Anna Louise.

The event is situated in only one circle, so the action is close. No one is seated more than 50 feet away from the ring.

“You’re so close, the elephant can steal your popcorn,” Mr. Royal said.

Prior to the circus, there will be elephant, pony and camel rides available, along with concessions and sideshows. The Granger High School student coun-cil is sponsoring the event.

Tickets cost $16 for adults and $8 for kids. Discounted tickets are available before the day of the show. Visit www.ticketleap.com and search for “Kelly Mill-er Circus” to purchase advance tickets or visit Red & White Grocery, Granger National Bank or Granger ISD.

Assessment (DEA) for public review and comment. The DEA analyzes the installation of a new fuel facility and re- lated airport improvements at the GTU in Georgetown, Tex- as. The proposed project consists of the excavation and removal of one aviation gas (Avgas) underground storage tank (UST) and one jet fuel type A (Jet A) UST; construction of a concrete transport off-load structure; construction of a concrete aboveground storage tank (AST) containment structure; installation of two new ASTs that contain Avgas and Jet A and a dispenser island with updated fueling technology; demolition of a small 10x12 foot storage shed; removal of approximately 10 trees; dem- olition of concrete, asphalt, and fencing; removal of a pole-mounted transformer and above ground power lines that will be replaced by an underground utility via trench unless conditions re- quire an overhead utility; and implementation of pollutant abatement measures re- quired by the Texas Com- mission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).The purpose of this project is to provide safer fueling prac- tices for current aircraft oper-

ations and prevent potential ground water contamination. No land acquisition, residen- tial or businesses displace- ments, or relocations are re- quired for this project. The DEA, and supporting in- formation, are available for review and copying at the

office, located at 5 Terminal Drive, Georgetown, TX 78627; at the Georgetown Public Library, 402 W. 8th Street, Georgetown, TX 78626; and at the TxDOT - A offices, located at 5 E.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

NOTICE OF DISTRICT PETITIONTCEQ Internal Control No. D-10302014-040

PETITION. Donald H. Lively Family Partnership, Ltd., (Petitioner) �led a petition for creation of West Williamson County Municipal Utility Dis-trict No. 2 (District) with the Texas Commission on Environmeta1 Quality (TCEQ). �e petition was �led pursuant to Article XVI, Section 59 of the Texas Constitution; Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code; Title 3o Texas Administrative Code Chapter 293; and the procedural rules of the TCEQ.

�e petition states that: (1) the Petitioner is the owner of all of the land to be included in the proposed District; (2) there are no lienholders on the property to be included in the proposed District; (3) the proposed District will contain approximately 386.98 acres located within Williamson County, Texas; and (4) all of the land within the proposed District is within the ex-traterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Leander, Texas, and no portion of the land within the proposed district is within the corporate limits of extraterri-torial jurisdiction of any other city, town or village in Texas.

By Ordinance No. 14-035-00 e�ective June 5, 2014, the City of Leander, Texas, gave its conditional consent to the creation of the proposed District, pursuant to Texas Water Code § 54.016 and authorized the Petitioner to ini-tiate proceedings to create this political subdivision within its jurisdiction.

�e territory to be included in the proposed District is set forth in a metes and bounds description designated as Exhibit “A” and is depicted in the vicinity map designated as Exhibit “B,” both of which are attached to this document.

�e petition further states that the proposed District will: (1) purchase, con-struct, acquire, provide, operate, maintain, repair, improve or extend inside or outside of its boundaries any and all works, improvements, facilities, plants, equipment and appliances necessary or helpful to supply and distrib-ute water for municipal, domestic, industrial and commercial purposes; (2) collect, transport, process, dispose of and control domestic, industrial and commercial wastes; (3) gather, conduct, divert, abate, amend and control local storm water or other local harmful excesses of water in the District; (4) construct, maintain, improve and operate graveled or paved roads or turnpikes that serve or are intended to serve as an arterial or main feeder roads, or works, facilitates, or improvements in aid of those roads or turn-pikes inside or outside the boundaries of the District; (5) purchase, con-struct, acquire, provide, operate, maintain, repair, improve, extend and de-velop park and recreational facilities for the inhabitants of the District; and (6) purchase, construct, acquire, provide, operate, maintain, repair, improve, or extend inside or outside of its boundaries additional facilities, systems, plants and enterprises as shall be consonant with the purposes for which the District is created, all as more particularly described in an engineer’s report �led simultaneously with the �ling of this Petition.

According to the petition, a preliminary investigation has been made to de-termine the cost of the project, and it is estimated by the Petitioner, from such information available at this time, that the cost of said project will be approximately $47,940,000 ($39,090,000 for utility, plus $5,510,000 for rec-reational, plus $3,340,000 for road).

You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the petition which would satisfy your concerns. Requests for a contested case hearing must be submitted in writing to the O�ce of the Chief Clerk at the address provided in the information section below.

How to Write a Classified Ad1. Choose two strong first words that tell what your ad is about. (The first two - three words in all word ads are printed in boldface.)

2. Before you place your ad, either by phone, or dropping by the office, write down your ad on paper to arrange your thoughts.

3. Give the price or price range. Many potential buyers won’t call if they don’t have some idea of the price.

4. Tell all the facts or features. The more you tell, the more you sell. List your phone or address and tell the buyer when you’ll be available.
