The Shiner Volunteer Fire Department would like to an-
nounce that their upcoming Annual Oyster Supper has been
postponed out of an abundance of caution to the first respond-
ers, citizens attending, and our community, as well as those in
surrounding communities that are invited to attend and enjoy
this annual event.
A new date and time has not been determined at this time.
Thank you for everyone’s continued support during this time.
SVFD Annual Oyster Supper postponded
Officers with the Shiner
Police Department met last
week with Jessie Allen of the
Dickson-Allen Foundation, who
presented the local police force
with a $41,000 foundation grant
to assist them with local commu-
nications equipment improve-
ments.
This donation will allow Shin-
er police to upgrade the mobile
radios officers wear as part of
their daily gear. Current radios
in use within the department
have far exceeded their lifes-
pan, Police Chief Zach Kramer
said, and they are no longer sup-
ported by their manufacturer.
With this donation, the de-
partment will be purchasing
new radios that are not only ca-
pable of working on the existing
county communications system
but also compatible with any
possible upgrades or changes to
that communications system in
coming months, all by means of
a simple reprogramming.
“As always we are continuing
to plan, not just for today, but
for the future as well,” Kramer
said. “Thank you, Mr. Jessie Al-
len and the Dickson-Allen Foun-
dation board members, for your
generous donation to the Shiner
Police Department.”
Julie Boehm of Shiner said she couldn’t have been
more shocked when she walked out to her driveway
on Saturday morning.
For there, where her big black Ford 250 had been
parked for the night, just hours before on Friday eve-
ning, sat nothing. Nothing at all.
“I’d just gotten a text from my friend down the
street,” Boehm told us in phone interview on Monday.
“She was telling me that their truck had been stolen. I
was walking outside to go see her. That’s when I noticed
it. Mine was gone, too. I couldn’t believe it.”
In all, three pickups were stolen from the same Shin-
er neighborhood sometime during the overnight hours
on Friday, Jan. 8. Officers responded to three separate
reports of stolen vehicles on San Jacinto and Alamo
streets in Shiner. There were also reports of similar
pickups taken from just inside the Gonzales County
line, all within the same timeframe, investigators said.
Most shocking for the Boehm’s was that they fol-
lowed all the best practices.
Their vehicle was all locked tight, according to po-
lice reports. They had lights and security cameras in
place. Still, when they awoke the next morning, their
truck was long gone, with no trace left behind. Even
those security cameras didn’t spot a thing.
“Whoever did this knew what they were doing,”
Boehm said. “That much is clear.”
What should be most disconcerting for most of our
readers is the type of vehicle these thieves seem to
prefer. All the ones reported stolen early Saturday
were either ¾-ton or one-ton pickups, all sporting four-
wheel drive options.
Those types of vehicles are “in line with those that
are typically stolen to facilitate drug and human traf-
ficking,” Shiner Police Chief Zach Kramer said in a
statement released by his department early Saturday.
Sadly, however, those words probably describe half
the trucks on the road locally.
SEE THEFTS, PAGE 12
Stolen truck recoveredOne of the three pickups taken from Shiner overnight Friday,
Jan. 8, was recovered, after it was found by a hunter in the
Vienna area over the weekend, about 40 miles away from the
Shiner neighborhood where it was stolen. “We are extremely
lucky and very thankful for the people who helped find it,” said truck owner Julie Boehm. “Please be careful out there.
We are not untouchable living in a small town.”
The Dickson-Allen Foundation last week presented the Shiner Police Department with a grant that will allow local
officers to upgrade their outdated police radios. Accepting the grant in the newly renovated Shiner Police Department lobby are, from left, Police Chief Zach Kramer, Jessie Allen with the Dickson-Allen Foundation, Sgt. Tierra Furrh and
Sgt. James Whited.

The Lavaca County Commis-
sioners’ Court met in its first
meeting of the new year and
voted to approve subdivision
regulations for the county, in-
cluding regulations of manufac-
tured home rental communities.
A project that begin during
Judge Keith Mudd’s tenor, the
court addressed the issue in
October and decided to seek
legal counsel by obtaining the
services of attorney Robert Bass
with Allison, Bass and Magee,
LLP, of Austin.
During the second meeting
of November, Bass provided the
first reading of the proposed
regulations and at Monday’s
meeting the attorney presented
the second reading.
“This ordinance is intended
to provide a framework for or-
derly development of real prop-
erty lying outside municipality
boundaries,” Bass said intro-
ducing the second reading. “It’s
intention is to create healthy
communities that are properly
designed for the future.”
Bass summarized 11 chapters
found in the regulations that laid
out the framework for subdivi-
sion development including pro-
cedures for plat approval and the
various statutory in developing
the land for subdivisions.
Following the reading, a pub-
lic hearing was heard with coun-
ty citizens, Marie Day and Frank
Fishar posing questions to Bass.
After the closing of the pub-
lic hearing, the court voted to
adopt the subdivision policies
presented by Bass and would
include an amendment of defin-
ing travel trailers according to
appropriate industry standards.
THIRD FLOOR OFFICE ASSIGNMENTS
The court approved assign-
ments of offices located on the
third floor of the Courthouse
with Room 308 to be utilized by
the County Clerk’s office as an
extra office for business matters.
In addition, the County At-
torney will gain extra room
space and will occupy Rooms
304 and 305.
CLARIFICATION OF POSTAGE EQUIPMENTAt the Dec. 14 meeting, the
court, the court approved a con-
tract for the Pitney Bowes Post-
age Equipment and move the
postage equipment to be located
in the county clerk’s office at
the Lavaca County Courthouse
Annex.
At Monday’s meeting, the
court approved a request from
County Clerk Liz Kouba to
amend the location by moving
the postage equipment to Cor-
ridor 055 and not in the County
Clerk’s office.
RETIREMENT The court acknowledged the
retirement of Dennis Tousek
from the Pct. 2 Road and Bridge
department. Tousek is retiring
after serving the county for 31
years.
MISCELLANEOUSThe court accepted a mon-
etary donation from Glenda
Klimitchek to the Lavaca County
EMS in the amount of $1,000.
The donation was given for
the outstanding care provided
Glenda’s husband by retired
EMT Mike Hammer.
The court approved raising
the percentage of leasing elec-
tronic voting equipment to two

NOON MONDAYS
Members of the Lavaca
County EMS last week
received a $100,000 do-
nation from the Dickson-
Allen Foundation to be
used towards communica-
tion equipment improve-
ments.
“We will use the grants
to purchase new mobile
and handheld radios as
well as pagers for all our
EMT’s and paramedics,”
said Michael Furrh, chief
of the Lavaca County
EMS.
Those mobile and
handheld radios will al-
low members of his staff
to stay in constant com-
munication with dispatch-
ers at the Lavaca County
Sheriff’s Office and other
areas where they provide
service, as well as keep
all the county’s EMS crew
members safe by each one
having a radio.
“In case crew members
get separated on a call or
stumble across violence
while on scene, we will be
able to request help im-
mediately without having
to call from our unit or use
a cell phone,” Furrh said.
Many of the portable
two-way radios currently
in use by his department
have come supplied by lo-
cal volunteer fire depart-
ments, in which several
of the local EMS crew
members are active in
their off time.
New technologies now
available could even
make items like blue
tooth options possible for
his crews, where signals
are passed by earpieces
to larger transmission sys-
tems inside the ambulanc-
es themselves. Furrh said
he would be investigating
all options to find the best
and the most practical
items for his crews out in
the county.
In addition to accept-
ing their grant award last
week from Jessie Allen,
one of the members of the
Dickson-Allen Founda-
tion, EMS crew members
also used the opportunity
to show off some of the
equipment that they’ve
been able to purchase
with past Dickson-Allen
grants.
From improved gear
and furnishings to the
all-new ambulances them-
selves, Dickson-Allen
has given much to the
local ambulance service
through the years, Furrh
said, which is why each of
the fleet vehicles proudly
display vehicle logos say-
ing they were donated by
the Dickson-Allen Foun-
dation.
“They’ve invested in
the healthcare of our com-
munity and we will con-
tinue to carry the torch
and bring the best mobile
healthcare bedside that
we can provide to our
citizens,” he said.
Last week’s $100,000
donation was made in rec-
ognition of Debbie Fish-
beck, the previous direc-
tor for the Lavaca County
Rescue Service, who gave
countless hours, days and
years for the betterment
of Lavaca County’s emer-
gency health services and
the citizens of Lavaca
County during her tenure.
The Dickson -Allen Foundation last week presented members of the Lavaca County EMS with $100,000 grant to help the department with communications equipment improvements. Accepting the grant are, from left, EMT Ronnie DeLaRosa, Paramedic Chris Ramirez, Paramedic and County EMS Capt. Melissa Leopold, Jessie Allen with Dickson-Allen Founda-
tion, and County EMS Chief Michael Furrh.

Did you resolve to lose weight, get fit, or eat health-ier in this new year? Now that we are halfway into the month of January, how are you doing? Taking the time to evaluate what you want to accomplish and set realistic goals is an important part of sticking to a new year’s resolution. Not sure where to start when it comes to goal setting. According to Turkay (2014) from Harvard University, “goal setting is the process of establishing an outcome (a goal) to serve as the aim of one’s actions.” Turkay (2014) also mentions there is evidence that shows an increase in success rates of achieving a goal when there is goal setting involved. One goal setting technique is the S.M.A.R.T model, which incorporates the different factors that come into play within our daily lives but also encourages using ideas that are realistic and motivating. S.M.A.R.T stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant (or reward-ing), and time-bound. By using the S.M.A.R.T. system you can have a solid beginning to your goals for the New Year and build on them throughout the year. Using any goal making technique is a great way to help you make a realistic and attainable goal. Now that you have a place to start, you are ready to create your goals and be suc-cessful in achieving them.
One SMART goal for the new year might be to im-prove your hydration by drinking more water. The hu-man body is 75% water. We cannot live without it. Our muscles are about 73% water, blood is about 83%, and even our body fat is 25% water. As a rule of thumb, we should rehydrate ourselves daily with at least 6-8 glasses of water or other beverages. Alcohol does not count be-cause of its dehydrating effects. Milk and juice are great choices if you are wanting something beyond plain water because they supply calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and protein. Choose 100 percent juices and low-fat or skim milk for the most nutrient dense choice and to avoid un-wanted calories from added sugars and fat. If you choose caffeinated drinks, do so in moderation. Caffeine affects the nervous system and has a diuretic effect.
Increasing your water consumption helps reduce your appetite, assists with muscle development, and aids with metabolism. If you are not a fan of water, consider mak-ing your own infused water. Infused water is a combi-nation of fruits, herbs, and vegetables mixed into water. Pick your produce. You can use one type or try a com-bination of flavors. Adding fresh herbs will garnish your water. Start by thoroughly rinsing your produce and then slice it. For soft fruits like bananas, you can mash them, as well. Using a clean container, add your produce. You will want to use a ratio of 4:1, four cups of water for every cup of fruit. Infusion takes about two hours for cold water or an hour if the water is room temperature. If you plan to use the water for more than a day, you will want to strain out the produce and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Get creative with your infused waters. Lemons, limes, and strawberries are all common choices, but melons, cucumber, mint, and blueberries all do well. Another trick is to freeze ice cubes of 100% juice to add to your glass or bottle of water. Personally, I like to buy frozen fruits and add them to a bottle of water in place of ice cubes. Set yourself up for success by taking the time to create infused or flavored waters that you enjoy.

Band students from
across the area submitted
recordings to compete at
the Region 18/26 High
School All-Region contest
in December.
This contest chal -
lenged the students to
learn 8 scales and 2 col-
lege level pieces of music.
The students were di-
vided into sections and
asked to play a selec-
tion from the scales and
etudes. Five judges in
each room ranked the
students based off of their
performance.
The top students from
each section were placed
in the Symphonic Wind
Ensemble. The next few
students in each section
were placed in the Sym-
phonic Band, followed by
the Concert Band.
If students earned one
of the spots in the sym-
phonic wind ensemble,
they are invited to attend
a clinic on April 19 at the
Jerry Fay Wilhelm Center
for the Performing Arts in
Bastrop.
If students ranked high
enough in their sections,
they were also eligible to
participate in the Area
round of competition
held in January. Here are

place well at All-Region ContestDear Editor,
I enjoy Duff Wagner’s weekly column “Notes
FromTheWolters Museum” and its historical
perspectives about Shiner. Last week’s column was
of particular interest to me as a result of the infor-
mationprovidedbyDennisMrazabouttheanti-
aircraft gun positioned on the Wunderlich property
because I actually rode on that gun!
Myparents,EltonandLillieZander,livedjust
across the road from the Wunderlichs, and Dad
rigged up an outdoor shower for use by the soldiers
who manned the gun.
To give the soldiers some privacy, Dad hung up a
wagon sheet (youngsters can ask their grandpa what
that is) around the support poles for the cistern
that was kept filled with water by the windmill in
our back yard and ran a hose from the bottom of
thecisterntoaspraynozzlefromanoldwatering
can to provide a makeshift shower for them to take
their weekly(!) bath on Saturdays.
AndSpoetzlBrewerywouldsendakegofShiner
beer up the road to Dad’s house for the soldiers to
enjoyaswell.Plus,Momprovidedawidevariety
of baked goodies - cookies, cakes, kolaches, strudel,
and the like - for the soldiers enjoyment. The sol-
diers were very appreciative of all this hospitality.
In return they would do little things for me, give
me little knick knacks, and show me their military
weapons and equipment and explain how it worked.
But the most favorite thing they did for me was
to lift me up to sit on the anti-aircraft gun strad-
dling the huge barrel between my legs like I was
riding a horse. Then they would rotate the gun in a
full circle like it was a merry-go-round and I got to
ride it round and round. This is one of my earliest
childhood memories, and I thank Duff and Dennis
for reminding me about it.

Texas Health and Human Services is launching a
new website featuring videos, the latest information
and helpful resources to promote Texas Targeted
Opioid Response (TTOR), which is a statewide
public health effort to fight against opioid addic-
tion and overdose.
The new website, TXopioidresponse.org, is avail-
able in English and Spanish and provides tips for
safe opioid use, as well as information about the
dangers of misusing prescription opioid medica-
tions.
“One in five Texans has experienced an opioid
overdoseorknowsomeonewhohas,”saidKasey
Strey, TTOR Director at Texas Health and Human
Services Commission.
“We are dedicated to preventing prescription
opioid misuse, overdoses and opioid use disorder.
With awareness of the risks and how to take
medications safely, Texans can prevent opioid mis-
useandhelpputanendtotheopioidcrisis.”
Every day, 128 people in the United States die
after an overdose involving either prescription or
illicit opioids, such as heroin, according to the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Prevention.
Nationwide,nearly80%ofpeoplewhouseheroin
report misusing prescription opioids beforehand.
Information available on the website promotes
understanding of what opioid medications are, how
they affect the body, how misuse can lead to dan-
gerous side effects and how to safely manage pain.

The tragedy inevitably
links three families to-

Shiner SPORTSPage 8 | Thursday, January 14, 2021 | Shiner GAZETTE
The Shiner Coman-
ches boys basketball
team had a great start
to Jan. 5’s home game
against Schulenburg.
The Comanches were
knocking down some
good shots while Schul-
enburg struggled to
make points.
At one point in the
second frame, Shiner
posted a 15-3 lead before
the Shorthorns went on
a 18-8 run to trim Shin-
er’s lead to 23-21.
Schulenburg scored
six of 10 in the third
frame for tie game and
then outscored Shiner
17-6 in the last eight
minutes for a 44-33 lead.
“We played good de-
fense; Schulenburg just
started making shots,”
Shiner head coach Jor-
dan Rehak said. “We
had a good run to start
the first half; the Short-
horns made a good run
to end the first half.”
A triple and layup
from Tyler Palmer gave
Shiner a 5-0 lead in
first few minutes of the
contest. Dalton Brooks
snagged two free throws
and Palmer scored after
a steal and the Coman-
ches went ahead 9-0. The
‘Horns then managed to
put in three points be-
fore Lane Remschel as-
sisted on a Jared Shimek
basket for an 11-3 Shin-
er advantage at the end
of the period.
Shiner fell to 1-2 in
district after the game.
To start the second,
Ryan Peterson made two
layups and a triple, and
Shimek hit a tres to give
Shiner a 21-7 lead.
Schuleburg began
knocking down shots, in-
cluding a pair of triples,
as they went on a 14-2
run to be down by two at
the break.
The Comanches in-
creased their lead to
Shiner senior softball
player Jasmine Wright
knew she wanted an op-
portunity to play at the
next level.
And was proactive in
searching for a college
softball program, and
she found one in Sul
Ross State University in
Alpine.
Wright signed a letter
of intent the morning of
Jan. 6
“It is a good expe-
rience and I am very
blessed to be signing
with them,” she said. “I
am one of the few who
get the chance to play
collegiately.
Wright was the one
who made contact with
Sul Ross first.
“I was trying to get
with the college for a
long time and I just hap-
pened to stumble upon
the school, and I looked
into their program and I
was very impressed with
it,” she said. “This is a
school I have to be at.”
Wright said she re-
searched and looked at
plenty of schools.
“As the recruit pro-
cess goes, you have to
widen your perspective
on everything like where
you want to go,” she said.
“I did take a tour of the
campus and loved it; it’s
a lot different than Shin-
er. The area is super nice
and I love the fact that it
snows there.”
Wright said she will
get playing time as a
freshman.
“He (Head coach Troy
Canaba) told us no mat-
ter what, I am going to
get to play,” she said.
“Since I am a utility
player, I will likely play
everywhere to see where
I fit the best. Anywhere
I play, I am going to do
my best.”
Wright plans to really
carve out a niche on the
team in her first year in
the program.
“My goals for the first
year is to go in there su-
per confident and come
out swinging, and be-
come a family member
of the team,” she said.
The Lobos and Lady
Loboes are an NCAA Di-
vision III team that com-
peted in the American
Southwest Conference.
Wright plans to major
in Psychology and pur-
sue a career in forensic
psychology.
She said the thing she
will miss about Shiner is
the community.

The Shiner Lady Comanches were
not completely intense at the start
of Friday’s district game against Fla-
tonia.
The Lady Bulldogs ended the first
quarter ahead 12-9 and moved to
19-9 about halfway through the sec-
ond period.
“We coasted into the first quarter
and were feeling Flatonia out. We
can’t do that,” Shiner head coach
Ray Neal said.
Shiner picked up the pace and
scored eight straight points to trail
19-17 at halftime then turned on the
afterburners in second half by out-
scoring Flatonia 20-6 for a 37-25 win.
“In the second quarter, we picked
up our intensity and our focus,” Neal
said.
During the first half, Shiner strug-
gled at the free-throw line with a
1-of-7 but turned it around in the
second half by going 7-of-10.
Flatonia opened proceedings
with a 6-3 lead as Caitlin Betak hit
two triples; Emma Herman for Shin-
er made a free throw and scored a
layup after getting a steal. Shiner
closed down to 8-7 as Emma Herman
Kai Giese scored
31 points and sank six
triples as the St. Paul
Cardinals posted a
fourth-quarter come-
back to win at Bryan
St. Joseph 67-64 Jan. 5.
St. Joseph jumped
out to a 21-10 lead in
the first frame and out-
scored St. Paul 24-12
in the second for a big
45-22 halftime lead.
St. Paul went on a 17-8
run to cut the Eagles’
lead to 53-39 in the
third quarter and then
scored 28 of 39 points
in the fourth frame for
the victory.

Shiner police are working closely with investigators
from the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Auto
Theft Task Force to try and solve the crimes.
The thefts have prompted a litany of warnings from
other town’s police departments as well.
“We encourage everyone to lock your vehicles and
not leave any valuables inside,” Hallettsville Police
Chief Randal Schlauch said in departmental Face-
book post that went out on Monday. “The Crossroads
area has had a big increase in trucks being stolen.”
Many of those vehicles stolen were left unlocked
with the keys inside, Schlauch continued, adding
that residents “please remember to lock unattended
vehicles at all times so we can prevent this from hap-
pening.”
Moulton Police Chief Mitchell Bennett took that
message one step further.
“The day and times of small-town safety and peace
is slowly coming to an end,” he said. “There used to
be a time when we didn’t have to worry or concern
ourselves too much about crime and protecting our
property. With recent area crime activity on the in-
crease, now is the time more than ever to be vigilant,
observant and cautious about our surroundings, so we
can all watch out for each other and our neighbors.”
Keep in mind, Chief Bennett and the folks in
Moulton just witnessed a truck theft of their own,
a few days before early Christmas morning. In their
case, a truck stolen from a nearby residence was
used to rip apart the local ATM machine at Moulton’s
Crossroads Bank.
Thieves in that heist made off with thousands in
stolen cash, a crime that thus far remains unsolved.
What’s worse, it was likely repeated in neighboring
Jackson County a few days later, this time with truck
stolen from Edna that was used to rob Ganado bank’s
ATM machine.
“There is only so much law enforcement can do,”
Bennett said. “We need community help. We need
community support. And we appreciate everything
we can get.”
Although it doesn’t help all the time, Bennett
urged locals to continue locking up their vehicles
and homes. He also recommended keeping valuables
and weapons out of vehicles unless they are in use.
Bennett offered this plea: “If anyone has informa-
tion to help our Shiner neighbors, please let me know
or let them know. It is time to restore peace and safety
in small town America.”
If there’s any silver lining to all this, it came for
the Boehm’s on Sunday, Jan. 10.
One day after their truck went missing in Shiner, a
hunter in the Vienna area—some 40 miles away from
where their truck was stolen—spotted their vehicle,
hidden in some trees near a pond on their private
property.
From the looks of things, Julie Boehm said, their
truck was merely stashed there, temporarily, ready
for the thieves to come reclaim it later.
It had a few damages, too, she told us. The door was
messed up where thieves popped the lock, and a few
of the inner compartment doors were broken where
they rummaged through the inside.
But it least they got it back. So far, their neighbors
haven’t been near as fortunate.
“Please help us, help you,” Shiner’s Chief Kramer
said. “Lock your vehicles. Take your personal property
out of your vehicles. Criminals will take the easiest
and quickest path. The vehicles have all been 3/4-ton
ton or one-ton trucks with replacement bumpers, but
don’t let this make you think your smaller vehicle is
safe.”
If anyone had seen anything suspicious or has any
information that may help solve these crimes, please
contact your local police department.
“Please call us at (361) 798-2121 to report anything
suspicious,” Kramer said. “Don’t wait until later or
the next day. Call NOW! If you have been thinking
about getting cameras or GPS tracking, now is the
time to do this.”

EMS UPDATELavaca County EMS
chief Michael Furrh re-
ported that his depart-
ment held employee
training yesterday (Sun-
day) with those attend-
ing finishing their train-
ing and getting tested.
Furrh said they now
know what they need to
work on to bring things
up to date.
Furrh said they have
attended city council
meetings introducing
employees and equip-
ment. He said they met
with the Shiner City
Council a couple of
weeks ago, and will meet
with Moulton’s tomor-
row (Tuesday) and Hal-
lettsville’s councils on
Monday, Jan. 18.
F u r r h s a i d l a s t
month they collected
$118,151.88 and it is a
pretty good month for
revenues. He said col-
lections will fluctuate
for the next five to six
months due to switching
their billing process.
Furrh said May will
have a National Police
and EMS week and he is
looking into hosting an
open house at the sta-
tions. In addition, Furrh
said he is also looking
into plans of conduct-
ing CPR classes to the
public.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
UPDATELavaca County emer-
gency management co-
ordinator Egon Barthels
also presented an update
of his department.
Barthels presented a
numbers tally of active
COVID cases, but said
this changes day by day.
Barthels said he met
with the Yoakum Com-
munity Hospital and
Lavaca Medical Center
and its very prevalent
that we (Lavaca County)
have high hospitaliza-
tions in both Halletts-
ville and Yoakum. He
said the two hospitals
are having a hard time
finding other hospitals
who will accept patients.
Barthels addressed
the reporting of COVID
fatalities saying he re-
ports 13, while the state
is reporting over 50 CO-
VID deaths in Lavaca
County.
“The difference is in
passing away because of
COVID, or passing away
with COVID,” Barthels
explained. “We’re fol-
lowing the Public Health
Region 8 saying passing
away with COVID, while
the state dashboard bas-
es its numbers on the
death certificate just
saying COVID. Again, did
they die from it, or did
they die because of it.”
In other action taken
