Junction Golf Club Thursday Scrambles were
canceled for a couple of weeks due to rain
and the Independence holiday, but the action
resumed on Thursday, July 11. There was a
tie between the team of Juan Gutierrez, Ralph
Tinney, Elba Adams and Bobby Colston and
the team of Kenny Smart, George Perez, Cole
Lawler and Doc Holladay. Nearest to the pin
was a carry over on hole #6 and Smart won
nearest to the pin on hole #8.
The skins round was won by the team
Gutierrez, Tinney, Adams, and Colston. The tie
was broken on Thursday, July 18, by the team
of Smart, Perez, John Richey and Colston.
Nearest to the pin was won by James Tinney
on hole #6. This was after a three week carryover, so, way to go James! Nearest to the pin on
hole #8 and hole #9 were carry overs.
The skins round was won by Smart, Perez,
Richey and Colston.
The Thursday scrambles are open to members and non-members, and sign-up begins at 5
p.m. with tee offs at 5:30 p.m. The entry fee is
$15 for non-members and $10 for members. So
come on out and enjoy the competition!
Sylvia Tinney, clubhouse manager, reported
that lady golfers Rebecca Stapper and Diane
Townsend had been out to play the course, and
Junction Golf Club always welcomes the ladies
who come out and bring pink power.
Other visitors included Robert Alvarado,
Rudy Ramos and Brian Rios from Ft. Stockton;
Robert Bill from Midland; Jody Halford from
Odessa and Damon Abbott from Aztec, New
Mexico.
Junction Golf Club welcomes visitors, and we
have reasonable green fees plus memberships
available if you would like to become a member.
The annual meeting will be held on the second
Wednesday in August at the club house at 5:30
p.m. Members, mark your calendars and plan on
attending this very important meeting.
The course is in excellent condition due to
the rainfall we have been blessed with, and the
longer summer days make it a great time to get
a little fresh air and play a round of golf. Dust
off your clubs, and come join us for some “good
ole Kimble County fun”!
Today I will close with a quote from The
Joys of Friendship, “A friend knows everything
about you and loves you anyway.” Call a friend
up today and treat them to a round of golf at the
Junction Golf Course!

Outdoors
Outback
by Kendal Hemphill
They’re out to get us
“There are two kinds of drivers who live in the Hill Country
of Central Texas – those who
have hit deer, and those who
are going to.” ~ Me
Having lived in Mason,
Texas, all my life, except for
brief stints in Abilene and
Brownwood, I’ve learned to
watch for deer on the roads,
especially at night. It’s not
uncommon to drive the 27
miles from Mason to Brady,
or the 42 miles from Mason to
Junction, and see over 200 deer
along the sides of the highway.
The only way to avoid seeing
deer at night is to drive with
your eyes closed.
Not that I’m recommending
that. No doubt I’ll get an angry,
spittle-flecked letter written in
crayon telling me it’s danger-
ous to drive with your eyes
closed, and that by the way I’ll
be receiving a large emergency
medical services bill soon. So I
want to make it clear that I’m
not suggesting using The Force
when you’re behind the wheel.
I’m also not suggesting that
anyone should ever, under any
circumstances, operate a motor
vehicle in the area of Weeki
Wachee, Florida. There’s a
good reason for that, despite
the fact that I’m tempted to go
to Weeki Wachee and speed,
so I could get caught and get
a ticket, and frame it and hang
it on my wall. That would
be a great conversation starter.
“And this is the ticket I got for
speeding in Weeki Wachee. I
had to pay a finee. With real
monee.”
No, there’s actually a good
reason to avoid driving around
Weeki Wachee – bears. The
deer we have to watch out
for in the Texas Hill Country
usually don’t go much over
125 pounds, which is big
enough, but there are bears
around Weeki Wachee that are
much bigger. An ambulance
hit one recently that weighed
225 pounds, and it did some
serious damage, according to
a story on the Predator Xtreme
website. Took a fender off, and
bent the body and a side step
all to smash.
The interesting part of the
story, though, is that a Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission biologist went
out and found the dead bear
in the marsh after the accident. He measured the bear,
and took a hair sample. Yes, a
hair sample. No, I don’t know
why. Maybe the FFWCC is
doing a study to find out what
kind of hair cream is preferred
by bears that cross highways
around Weeki Wachee. Or
something.
And speaking of funny
names, a woman was recently attacked by otters in the
Hebgen Basin area of West
Yellowstone, near the Madison
River bridge. She reported
‘significant bites to her hand,’
according to the story in the
Bozeman (Montana) Daily
Chronicle. Which brings up
the question – what kind of
bites would be considered
insignificant? I guess those
would be otter bites to someone else’s hand.
A man was later attacked by
otters in the same area while
fishing, and the local Dept.
of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks
advises that, while otter attacks
are rare, they can be aggressive, and people ‘should keep
a safe distance from otters and
their pups.’ I’m wondering if
2,500 miles is far enough.
The good news is that I live
about 3,000 miles from the
scene of our next story, although
considering the gravity of the
incident I’m not sure that’s
enough, either. William ‘Mac’
Hollan, a 35-year-old student
teacher for a Sandpoint, Idaho
elementary school, was riding
his bicycle from Sandpoint to
Prudhoe Bay as a fundraiser
Page 9
for a school lunch program,
when he was chased by a gray
wolf somewhere in the Yukon.
The Predator Xtreme story was
vague as to exactly where this
happened. It was also vague as
to what other kind of teacher
there might be, besides a ‘student teacher.’ Who else would
a teacher teach?
Anyway, Mac was about half
a mile ahead of his two buddies
when the wolf came out of the
trees beside the road and took a
chomp at his pedal, but missed.
It then fell in behind Mac, who
immediately went into his best
Lance Armstrong impression,
but couldn’t go fast enough to
keep the wolf from nipping at
his panniers, probably thinking
to cut Mac’s hamstrings like he
would a moose or something.
Mac used bear spray on the
wolf, which seemed to whet its
appetite. What have I been telling you about that stuff?
Mac finally came around a
corner and saw a hill ahead,
and knew the jig was up. He
had just leapt from his bike and
was preparing to make a last
stand, ala Liam Neeson in ‘The
Gray,’ when an RV stopped
and he dove inside. The wolf
attacked the bike like it was
prey, and only relented when a
bunch more people arrived and
started throwing rocks at it.
This story proves what I’ve
been telling my friend, Randy
Young, for years. Riding a
bike is dangerous. I mean, seriously.
The bottom line is that while
hitting a deer with your vehicle
is unpleasant and often expensive, it beats hitting a bear, and
it’s an awful lot more pleasant
than being attacked by otters or
chased by hungry wolves.
It’s also a far cry from being
killed in bed by a cow falling
through your roof, which is
what happened to Joao Maria
de Souza, of Caratinga, Brazil
recently. But we don’t have
time for that . . .

The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, July 24, 2013
Texas Tales
That summer of 1927, most
of the highways in West Texas
remained unpaved. The Pecos
River and other streams,
assuming they held water at
all, had to be splashed across.
Three high-topped cars with
spoke wheels clattered east on
the Old Spanish Trail, between
Fort Stockton and Ozona, a
roadway improved from the
days of the stagecoach only by
mule-drawn graders.
Inside the cars sat three men
who had travelled this route
many times, often on horseback. In one of the flivvers
rode J.D. Jackson of Alpline,
cattleman and former Texas
Ranger. Former Ranger James
B. Gillett drove another of the
cars, one hand on the wheel,
the other hand busily pointing
out landmarks.
Riding with Jackson was
a younger man, Eugene
Cunningham, a journalist.
Another former ranger drove
behind them. They were headed for the West Central Texas
town of Menard for a reunion
of old rangers. At not even 20
miles an hour, they had plenty
of time for talk before they got
there.
“Ever run into Ben
Thompson?” the reporter
asked Jackson, hoping for a
story about the English-born
gambler, gunman and one-time
Austin city marshal gunned
down in a San Antonio saloon
in 1884.
“Knew him when he and his
younger brother, Billy, drove
a water wagon in Austin,”
Jackson said.
In 1887, he went on, he and
the other rangers in Company
E had been assigned to guard
the construction camp as the
Texas and Pacific Railroad
pushed across West Texas. The
tracks went down as straight as
the terrain permitted, but a lot
of crooked men followed the
rails.
One day a man came up to
the captain’s tent at the ranger
camp near Monahans and said
a gambler had skinned him
for $500 or $600 using loaded
dice.
“The cap’n told me to go
down into the construction
camp – it was a rough place,
full of tinhorn gamblers and
tent saloons – and get this fellow’s money back, then kick
the gambler out of camp.”

by Mike Cox
When Jackson walked into
the worker’s camp, he recognized the gambler, but did not
let on just yet that he knew
him.
“Cap’n says you better give
this fellow back his money,”
Jackson told the gambler.
“Like hell I will!” he said.
“You rangers may have the
authority to arrest me, but you
can’t make me give back the
money.”
“Better give it back to him,
Mr…” Jackson said, pausing
significantly after the word
“mister.”
The gambler gave the lawman a hard look and then asked
what the ranger had started to
call him.
“I told him I used to watch a
couple brothers driving a water
wagon in Austin,” Jackson
said.
“You think I’m Bill
Thompson, don’t you? Well,
I’m not! But if you’re going to
raise so much trouble over the
money – here! Take it! But I’m
not Bill Thompson.”
Jackson took the money with
his left hand, leaving his gun
hand available for any sudden
developments. The gambler
indeed was Billy Thompson,
a young man with two killings
to his credit and wanted in connection with a third.
“Thanks for returning the
money,” Jackson said. “But
you’ll have to go to the cap’n
with me.”
Jackson walked a reluctantbut-not-resistant Thompson to
the ranger camp and explained
the situation to the captain.
Shrugging at the news, he said
he had heard there were papers
out on Thompson, but didn’t
have them.
“Go out and carry out the
order I gave you,” the captain
snapped to Jackson. “You’ve
just executed half of it.”
The old ranger smiled at the
memory of what happened
next.
“Well, it was funny,” he
told Cunningham. “Mostly,
a man feels downright indignant about being kicked out
of a place, but Bill Thompson
seemed to get a world of satisfaction about jumping down
the trail ahead of a boot toe that
morning.”
Thompson’s luck held until
Sept. 6, 1897, when he died of
natural causes in Houston.

Gardening
by David Steinbrunner & Linda Tarrant
Yea! Planting vegetables
for fall
Hooray for the rain!!
We know your beds already
have compost and mulch
heaped on them, and you’ve
probably already done the
Medina Soil Conditioner
and molasses application (or
you’ll do it in the morning).
Now is the time to start planning and planting for fall
vegetables.
In the cool of the morning,
do your garden work. Seeds
can be planted for lima beans,
green beans, pinto beans,
any beans, corn (if you have
room), cucumbers, summer
squash, winter squash, pumpkins, Swiss chard, collards,
tender greens, turnips, melons, okra, peas and Romaine
lettuce. You can plant potatoes, garlic and some of the
following small plants in the
ground now: eggplant, pep-
pers and tomatoes. Use a liquid fertilizer and water after
planting to give the seeds and
plants a good start. Water
regularly and foliar feed on a
weekly basis to get everyone
up and growing.
When seeds come up, thin
to prevent overcrowding
as this stunts the growth of
plants.
Beets, spinach, radishes,
lettuce, carrots, and cole vegetables, as broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, cabbage, etc. should
wait another month or so.
If your tomatoes have quit
producing, cut them back to
about 18 inches, and they’ll
sprout new leaves and produce another crop. Be sure
you leave some green leaves
or the stalks will burn up.
Water well after pruning,
and by all means prune in the
morning.
Plant of the Week.
Creeping herbs include thyme
(Thymus praecox), oregano
(Origanum), and rosemary
(Rosemarinus officinalis).
Some varieties are a bit taller, and one to consider is
Origanum laevigatum which
is a foot or so tall with spikes
having beautiful lilac flowers. All of these thrive with
little care and minimal water.
They provide dense ground
cover and are evergreen, edible and deer resistant.
Chores for this week.
• Keep on weeding and
using the vinegar to kill
weeds.
• Keep you flowering
plants deadheaded.
• Watch for hornworms,
leaf rollers or caterpillars on
mountain laurel and vinca,
and control with BT.
• Watch for spider mites,
aphids, thrips and white flies
and treat with hard spray
from the hose or insecticidal
soap or use ladybugs or pyrethrum if you’re invaded. Lots

KH Swing Bed Program helps
local patients and families
. .from the Library
by Sylvia Lawler
It is so great living in a
small community as most
of you know. The big city
folks don’t understand what
they are missing. The metropolitan areas do have some
advantages like having large
libraries with all the state of
the art facilities and programs,
but they lack the uniqueness
that Kimble County Library
offers. We have always strived
to be a meeting place, a social
hub, where people can meet
their friends, enjoy special programs, a place to just enjoy
and hang out.
A great example of the
uniqueness of the library can
be found when the local gardens began to produce, the
library becomes a place where
vegetables and fruits are delivered and shared. Just last week,
Dale Brandenberger, Marcia
Clark and Elsie Murr shared
their bounty of summer squash
and tomatoes with the library
staff and whoever stopped by
at the time. What a treat. So
far the fruit produce has not
made it to the library, but it is
still early.
Another unique occurrence
took place two Tuesdays ago;
the electricity went off for an
hour or so. We had a group
of women playing bridge in
the O.C. Fisher Museum due
to the teens’ summer program
occupying the library’s meeting room. The teens were
painting on their two Free
Little Libraries on the back
porch of the library as the
women played bridge by can-
dlelight and a battery powered
lantern, all taking place at the
library. What diversity! We
are so blessed to live in a small
community. Isn’t it GREAT!?!
So if you have not stopped
in at 208 North 10th Street for
a visit lately, you are invited
to do so. Come by to enjoy a
cool bottle of water or a cup of
freshly brewed coffee. There
is never a dull moment at the
library. If you are bored, the
library is the place to cure that.
Hope to see you soon!
Oh, and by the way, don’t
forget the upcoming “Night
at the Movie” event that will
conclude the library’s summer
programs. The entire community is invited to come and
enjoy the movie We Bought
a Zoo which will be featured
on Friday, August 2, from 6
p.m. until 8 p.m. at the First
Baptist Church Gym. Movie
theater foods will be served. A
drawing for some great door
prizes will be held. All FREE
of charge. Come and enjoy a
night at the movies with us.
New book on shelf: A
Thriller Hidden Order by
Brad Thor: “The most secretive organization in America
operates without any accountability to the American people.
Hiding in the shadows, pretending to be part of the United
States government, its power
is beyond measure….This is
thriller writing at its absolute
best, where the stakes have
never been higher, nor the line
between good and evil so hard
to discern.” (Book Jacket)

iPads for 11th graders
A team of technicians is
busy this summer working on
infrastructure improvements
that will allow for enhanced
wireless access in all classrooms at Junction High
School. The cost of the WiFi
upgrade is $44,264.
The Junction Board of
Trustees approved $90,249
for iPad implementation at
the May 2013 Board Meeting.
In addition to the WiFi
upgrades, the Board voted to
purchase 70 iPads for 11th
grade students and staff for
$32,060, cases for $4,900,
apps for $1000 and airwatch
for $3,750 for a total cost of
$41,710.
The apple training for the
staff cost $4,275. The training
will be conducted August 6-7
at Junction High School.
This investment is the result
submitted
“No other hospital can provide the personalized care you
receive in Junction,” according
to Patricia Kundert, a longtime Junction resident who
was recently discharged from
Kimble Hospital.
As a result of Medicare
rules, Mrs. Kundert would
have been allowed to stay in
the hospital for only a few days
even though she was not ready
to go home. Because of the
availability of the Swing Bed
Program, her physician was
able to transfer her to a skilled
nursing bed where she could
regain her strength following
her illness.
“Our Swing Bed Program is
for patients like Mrs. Kundert
who have experienced acute
care illnesses or operations
and need additional time to
strengthen and heal before
returning to independent living,” said Steve Bowen, hospital administrator.
Kundert grew up in Junction
and has lived in the community
with her husband, Don, since
the late 1970s. “If this hospital
were not here, we would have
had to leave the community
for care,” said Mrs. Kundert.
“The hospitals in Kerrville and
Austin are very nice, but can’t
give you the kind of care you
receive at Kimble where everyone treats you like family,”
she continued.
“The food at Kimble
Hospital is also very good,”
said Mrs. Kundert who also
complained that the staff tried
to feed her too much.
“Of course she liked staying
at the hospital,” Mr. Kundert
jokingly reported, “otherwise
she would have to be at home
with me. All kidding aside, the
new rooms are set up very well
for families as well as patients
so I was able to comfortably
spend much of the day with
my wife. “
The couple noted that they
would gladly recommend
Kimble Hospital to their family and friends for routine care.
“Even if you have to have surgery in Kerrville, you can still
return to Junction to recuperate
and be close to family and
friends,” they commented.
Kimble Hospital is licensed
for 15 inpatient acute care
beds, all of which may be used
as “swing beds” or skilled
nursing beds for qualifying
patients. The nursing, physical
therapy, dietary and other staff
all work in partnership with
the physicians to help swing
bed patients recuperate from
their illness, injury or surgery
and return to home stronger
and healthier. This short-term,
extended-care program can
also be for those patients who
need palliative care as an alternative to Hospice.
Patients enrolled in traditional Medicare are eligible
to receive swing bed benefits.
However Medicare Advantage
insurance plans may or may
not provide the same coverage. Patients covered by a
Medicare Advantage insurance
plan should check with their
insurance company to determine eligibility and associated
co-payments.

of a recommendation by
Junction High School, which
included teachers, students
and parents. The phase in plan
is to provide iPads to all high
school grade levels over the
next 2 years.
This decision is one of the
most important purchases in
the district’s recent history,
with the potential to change
how teachers teach and students learn.
Students will be able to
access online lessons and digital texts and take the online
tests that are becoming the
norm. The high school staff
feels digital knowledge is
one of the key components
in their goal to prepare every
student for college or a job by
the time they graduate.
JISD will keep you updated
on our progress as we start
this new adventure in learning
at Junction High School.

Member FDIC
Judy Ward was born to William Ray and Patsy Chriswell
Lynn in Hobart, Oklahoma, in the mid-1950’s. Their family moved to Atlanta, Georgia when she was a young girl,
then to Castroville and Devine, Texas, where she attended
grade school. Her family moved to Kerrville, Texas,
when she was a teenager where she attended Tivy High
School. She attended the Vocational Nursing Program at
Schreiner College, graduating in August, 1978.
Her career spans over three decades and three major
moves. It includes the Veterans Health Care Systems in
Kerrville and Phoenix as both an LVN/LPN and pharmacy technician. Her experience also includes working
in a variety of areas, chiefly obstetrics, surgery, medical
settings, and gerontology. She honed her adaptive skills
through a series of moves, always with a desire to challenge and expand her knowledge and skills, meet new
people and experience new places and things.
Judy has been married 41 years and raised three children, most of the time being employed on a full-time
basis, sometimes more. She now has five grandchildren
and two great-grandsons, all living within a day’s drive.
She currently lives in Junction, having moved from
Mountain Home, Texas, in November 2011, to alleviate
the commute to Kimble Hospital, where she has worked
since September 2005.
Having had extensive experience in more metropolitanbased facilities, she was intrigued by the quaint setting of
Kimble Hospital, the open-armed friendliness of the staff,
and an opportunity to fulfill an innate desire to serve in a
number of roles at any given time. “I’ve always enjoyed
working at the Kimble Hospital because the nurses are
very versatile, with specialization in many areas, and the
atmosphere at the facility is one of an extended family.
The feeling of community conveyed by all of the employees encourages me to look forward to each shift.”
She seems to thrive on the cycles of patient needs, from
typical and routine procedures and wellness activities to
stressful emergency situations and times of giving comfort and aid to patients of all ages.
“Working at the Kimble Hospital exceeds my expectations. Having my knowledge and skills challenged every
shift, working with other highly skilled clinicians, and
continuously growing intellectually is fulfilling and gratifying. I look forward to working at the hospital for many
G-28-1c
more years.”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS
BUDGET AND PROPOSED TAX RATE
The Junction Independent School District will hold a public meeting at August 14, 2013, at 6 p.m., in the

The tax rate that is ultimately adopted at this meeting or at a separate meeting at a later date may not exceed the
proposed rate shown below unless the district publishes a revised notice containing the same information and
comparisons set out below and holds another public meeting to discuss the revised notice.
Cowboy Camp meeting to be held
submitted
The 75th annual Hill Country
Cowboy Camp Meeting will be
held August 3-11, at Mountain
Home. You are invited to join
your family and friends in the
shade of the majestic live oak
trees and the historic tabernacle.
The campground is located eight
miles west of Ingram on Hwy. 27
or one mile west of Hwy. 479.
The campground is where
Christians from all over leave
their denominations “at the gate”
and come together for a time of
worship, study, praise and fellowship.
This event began in 1939
by area ranchers and the late
Dr. P.B. Hill, a pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of
San Antonio, Chaplain of the
Texas Rangers, and member of
the Texas Sheriff’s Association.
The area ranchers were Jim
Priour and his two sons, James
Junior and Dale, Henry Priour,
Clarence and Roy Leinweber,
Barney, Felix and Warren Klein,
A.G. Morris, R.A. Sproul,
Nelson Hatch, and Cory and
Hiram Hall. They organized
the first meeting which was
held at Sunset Baptist Church
in Mountain Home, and over
1500 people attended over three
days. They hoped to create a
summer gathering of Christian
people to spread the Word and to
refresh and strengthen the faith
of those who had already accepted Christ. A permanent location
with an open air tabernacle was
built in time for the 2nd camp
meeting, and is still being used
today. The name has stayed the
same, although now a person
doesn’t ride a horse to the meeting or even have to be a cowboy.
Descendants of the founding
ranching families have attended for generations, keeping the
tradition of the annual meeting
alive. Friends and neighbors
continue to attend to renew old
acquaintances and enjoy sharing
their love of the Lord.
Several Hill Country families take turns barbecuing and
cooking a big pot of beans for
each meal by the association.
Attendees are invited to bring
a covered side dish to share.
Lunch is served both Sundays,
and dinner is served at 6 p.m.
every night through Saturday.
Sat., Aug. 3, kicks off with
a youth concert featuring the
music group Nissi. A hot dog
meal is scheduled for 6 p.m. and
concert at 7.
Sun., Aug. 4, worship service
at 11 a.m., with Darren Schaupp
providing the message. He is a
