LIONS DROP CHARGERS IN LAST HOME APPEARANCE - Tyresse Purefoy (32) goes up for a big
block while Clay Buehring (31) and Trae Spence (5) prepare for a possible rebound during the Lions’ last
home game of the season on Tuesday night. The Lions picked up a huge District win, dropping the BoerneChampion Chargers 61-58. Catch up on all this week’s Lion sports on Page 3B of today’s Post-Register.
As the entertainment industry continues to burgeon in Downtown Lockhart, the Lockhart City
Council has begun to embrace the inevitable.
Despite the existence of an ordinance that prevents
alcohol sales within 300 feet of a church or school, the
council granted a variance on Monday night that will
allow a restaurant with on-premises liquor sales in the
former Masur Building, on the corner of San Antonio
and Church Streets. The request came from Conley
Covert of Austin’s Skyles Bayne Real Estate. Covert
said his organization hopes to find a tenant for the
property that will bring additional entertainment to
Lockhart.
“Without being able to offer [the ability for onpremises liquor sales], I don’t know that we’re going
to be able to find the right tenant for the property,”
Covert said.
The snag, under the existing ordinance, falls in the
fact that the building is separated from the First Christian Church (FCC) by fewer than 300 feet. That, however, seems of little concern to the church board.
“We want to make sure that it’s not going to be a
bar,” said Heidi Burton, the head of the FCC board.
“But we’ve had the chance to talk to Conley, and
we’re excited about what they’re proposing for the
building.”
FCC Pastor Randy Frye echoed her support, noting that neighboring with a restaurant could not only
allow for additional opportunities for Lockhart, but
could also open up the prospect of additional visitors
coming to worship with First Christian Church on
Sunday mornings.
Additionally, downtown property owner Doug

Downtown Lockhart will be alive with rev and

“We have more than 18 city blocks of event this
year,” Gammage said. “We’ve added more live
music, and a second live music stage.”
In addition to the expected 600-plus cars, Hot
Rods and Hatters has drawn more than 50 vendors,
and play host to more than 20,000 spectators, Gammage estimates.
Renowned rockabilly band The Paladins, along
with Rick Broussard’s Two Hoots and a Holler will
headline musical entertainment, which will continue
all day on the Main Stage at the corner of Market and
Commerce Streets, and in the Pocket Park Stage on

LHS grad seeks stories of ‘black baseball’ in Caldwell County
By Greg Garrett
Special to the POST-REGISTER
The history of segregation in Texas is not one that
we like to remember. It isn’t the “pretty face” that
we like to project to the rest of the country. Though
history isn’t always pretty, it still cannot be ignored.
Segregation of the white and black populations during the volatile decades of the 1930s through the
early 1960s was an unfortunate social occurrence. It
affected where people could eat or drink water,
where they could dance, where they could use the
restroom and even which baseball teams they could
play on. That’s right, baseball did not escape the realities of this social ill.
Despite this separation of black players and
teams into their own leagues and playing circuits
the sport became a favorite competitive pastime for
the black community. It became so popular that one
of our own, Rube Foster, born in Caldwell County,
established the Chicago American Giants and the
Negro National League in 1920. This was the first
organized, professional league for the greatest colored players of the time. Foster’s pioneering ways
were the foundation for the great Negro League
teams like the Kansas City Monarchs and Pittsburgh
Crawfords. Some of the best players the game has
ever seen took the field in this league. Men like Josh
Gibson, Willie “El Diablo” Wells, Satchell Paige and,
in its later years, greats like Jackie Robinson, Larry
Doby and Willie Mays. These were true stars of the
game. Men that black children throughout the country recognized as their own and took pride in their
player’s accomplishments.
While the Negro Professional Leagues were offering blacks opportunities on a national level, the
game was just as popular and important on the city
and small town levels. Baseball had permeated the
country by the 1940s, and people all ages and backgrounds were exposed to the game. This holds true
for black communities in cities and small towns
across Texas. Places like San Antonio, Austin and
Houston had several black teams that often played
in their own leagues. These city teams had another
adversary on the diamond: small town teams like
Kerrville, Seguin, Abilene and, yes, Lockhart.
Did you play on one of these teams in Lockhart
or one of our surrounding communities: Dale,
Maxwell, McMahan? Did you ever watch the St.
John Lions or the Ebon team play a game on the field
in Luling? Did you ever make a trip to watch the
boys from Lockhart take on the Bastrop Tigers? If

I am currently researching the topic of amateur
black baseball teams during segregation in Texas.
This focus will be the topic
of two programs that I
will be organizing at the
UTSA Institute of Texan
Cultures in San Antonio.
My goal is to help people
understand how important baseball was as a tool
of social inclusion. I feel
strongly that baseball was
transcendent within local
communities and played a
major role in breaking
down racial stereotypes
all the way up to the national level.

who read this article or

amateur teams in Lockhart will have stories to

The Lockhart Post-Register welcomes letters to
the editor and guest columns concerning issues of
local interest.
Letters must be signed and include a daytime
phone number attached for verification purposes.
We reserve the right to edit letters for length,
style and clarity, and to limit publication to one letter per author per 30-day period. Letters should
focus on issues, rather than personalities.
The newspaper will make reasonable efforts to
publish letters that express the opinions of our
readers. However, letters that have been previously published in other area publications are considered redundant to our readership and will not be
considered for publication.
The newspaper welcomes letters expressing
viewpoints about candidates, politics and political
issues. However, no such submission will be
printed if received fewer than six weeks prior to an
election in which that candidate or issue is scheduled to appear on the ballot.
The Editorial Board will make the final decision
about whether letters are of general interest to our
readers and appropriate for publication. Letters
should be no longer than 500 words, and must be
received by noon on the Monday prior to publication. Letters to the editor should be submitted in
person or via US Mail to 111 S. Church St., Lockhart, or via email to [email protected].
Anonymous letters, or those received without a verification telephone number, will not be considered
for publication.

ing. And the
whole of my day on Monday was
spent lamenting how wrong my
predictions were, and figuring out
what the redistricting means for
our kids.
In short, the one thing that my
hashing and re-hashing yielded,
is that our new UIL district means
nothing good for our Lion athletes, coaches or fans.
The first thing I have to say,
and I want this to be understood
as clearly as any word I’ve ever
said:
I’m not the least bit worried
about the competition in the
newly-announced District 26-5A.
L ETTERS
I know our kids, I know our programs, and I know without question that our kids can compete,
academically, athletically or in
any other arena, with any other
kid in the State of Texas. They’ve
proven that. They have proven it
many times. Without a shred of
hesitation, I’d put any of our
Lockhart kids up against any
other kid in the State (heck, any
other kid in the nation), and bet
money that our kids will come out
on top. That’s just the kind of
young men and women that they
are.
But I’m not going to pretend
that I’m not irritated with The
University Interscholastic League
(UIL) for continuing to treat Lockhart like a red-headed stepchild.
Thanks to this new realignment map, our kids have to travel
1,007 round-trip miles per sports
season. In the course of a 10-week
sports season, our kids are riding
on a school bus to Tuscon, Ariz. I
don’t know about anyone else,
TO THE
Reader questions Accountability
Report Card
To the Editor:
I recently received a report titled “Texas Education Agency
2014-15 School Report Card –
Lockhart Jr. High.” Lockhart Jr.
High fell behind the state average
in most categories. Lockhart Jr.
High did receive an Academic
Achievement designation in Math.
The report shows 100 percent of
the students achieving the satisfactory or above standard in math. I
sincerely hope that is accurate but
that number strikes me as suspicious. The Junior High “met standard” which is the highest rating
set by the state, but overall the
numbers are not very encouraging.
Every teacher I have spoken to
about the state’s accountability rating system believes that the scores
are not representative of the qual-
but I can guarantee you that I
would be neither pleasant, nor
productive, if I was forced to ride
on a school bus to Tuscon.
Most of our trips are more than
75 miles. Our longest, to Tivy, is
121 miles. Your average school
bus travels at a rate of about 48
mph. So, at minimum, we have to
pull our kids out of school no less
than an hour early, to get them

ity of education the children are receiving. While I believe in some aspects that is true, the overall results
for 2014-15 report card are cause
for concern.
For one thing, Lockhart Jr. High
is way behind in expenditure per
student. The state average expenditure per student is $8,692 a year
while Lockhart Jr. High comes in at
only $5,537 per student. That’s a
$3,150 difference per student! In
addition, the classroom sizes at
Lockhart Jr. High exceed the state
average by as much as six students
per classroom. It appears we need
more secondary schools. As most
of you know, Lockhart has only
one Junior High and one High
School and four elementary (not
counting Carver, which is only
PreK and kinder) with a fifth elementary school on the way. Could
sports be part of the reason we
don’t have more secondary
schools? LISD sports begins in seventh grade. Imagine the challenge
of running multiple sports (and
band) programs at different junior
high and high school campuses.
Whatever the deterrents, we need
to figure them out. LISD needs to
get classrooms size to a manageable number.
Of course the problem is not all
about money and the school system. Good education starts and
ends at home, but the Junior High
students need and deserve better
from our schools. Carting children
off to expensive private schools
should not be the only option. The
staff at the Junior High that I’ve
met all seem to be dedicated people and care about what they are
doing. However, with limited re-

Hegar questioned on budget as oil prices plunge
By Jim Malewitz
THE TEXAS TRIBUNE
Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar
on Tuesday faced some skepticism
as he sought to soothe lawmakers’
fears about what plummeting oil
prices mean for the state’s bottom
line. “Is the sky falling?” asked Sen.
Royce West, D-Dallas, at a hearing
of the Senate Committee on Finance, which helps write the state
budget.
“No, sir,” Hegar replied, adding
that while there are “clouds on the
horizon,” he’d rather be in Texas
than in any other state.
“I just don’t want to live in a
state of denial,” West responded. Senator John Cornyn (R)

He wasn’t the only lawmaker
worried that Texas was being too
optimistic. State Sens. Kelly Hancock of North Richland Hills and
Charles Schwertner of Georgetown, both Republicans, also raised
tough questions.
But Hegar stuck to his assessment of the state’s finances as neither
excessively
rosy
nor
particularly gloomy, even as perbarrel prices of West Texas crude
hovered around $31 Tuesday —
less than half of their value when
he took office a year ago.
While the state’s petroleum and
manufacturing sectors each lost

gained 179,000 jobs, the comptroller noted.
The oil and gas sector comprises
around 14 percent of the state’s
overall economy, Hegar said — far
less than it did during the painful
1980s. Meanwhile, a Standard &
Poor’s Ratings Services report
notes that Texas’ move 30 years
ago to wean itself off of a direct reliance on petroleum severance
taxes for its budget has “positioned
the state well through this downturn in oil prices,” and protected its
credit rating. Though Hegar has noted that
oil’s plunge means Texas will send

Nellie Fowlkes Price
Nellie Fowlkes Price,
age 83, of McMahan
(Dale) Texas, entered the
glory of eternal life on
Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016.
She was born July 4, 1932,
in Dry Fork, Va., to Harry
L. Fowlkes and Clarice
Stowe Fowlkes.
Nell was united in
marriage to Franklin L.
Price on March 5, 1965, in
South Carolina. She was a devoted wife, mother and
grandmother and was happy and content in that
role. Nell’s greatest gift in life was the birth of her
son, Harry Steven Seely.
Nell and Frank were involved for many years
with Little League Baseball in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio,
and so many of those kids were still in contact with
her and Frank. So many friends of her nieces and
nephews in Virginia called her “Aunt Nell” when
they met her they always felt so close to her and still
do. “Patches,” her Texas Grandpuppy, brought sunshine to her whenever he came to her door to spend
some time with her and Frank.
Nell participated in many of the political campaigns for Mayor and Councilmen in Ohio. She also
helped in the organization of the Bicentennial Parade
held in Ohio in 1976. Nell and Frank moved to Texas
in 2010 to join her son and his wife and became
members of the McMahan Baptist Church. Moving
to Texas brought her into the Jeffrey family that she
loved so dearly and into many other new families
that she treasured. Living in Texas was some of her
happiest times with her son.
Wherever Nell stepped foot she never met a
stranger and never wasted an opportunity to make a
new friend. When she walked into the room her
beautiful smile would capture your heart in an instant and you were forever her Friend. She had this
special gift and was an amazing person who was
5A
loved and adored by so many people throughout
Virginia, Ohio, South Carolina, North Carolina,
Florida and Texas.
Nell was preceded in death by her parents; her
brother, Harry Samuel Fowlkes, and her stepson,
Franklin L. Price, Jr.
Nell is survived by her husband, Franklin L. Price;
her son, Harry Steven Seely and wife, Bilinda, of
McMahan; her sister, Peggy Morris and husband,
Sammy Barker, of Danville, Va.; her brother, Ronnie
Fowlkes and wife, Patricia, of Danville, Va.; stepdaughter, Becky Dinkins and her husband, Freddie,
of Lugoss, S.C.; step-son, Johnny Price and wife,
Renee, of South Carolina; four grandchildren; and
numerous nieces and nephews and treasured
friends.
The family would like to thank the many nurses
and doctors she loved so very much who helped her
during this past month; Austin Hospice; all the wonderful friends and neighbors whose time and effort
will not be forgotten and so many others whose
kindness was the “Wind Beneath Our Wings.”
A Worship Service celebrating her life will be held
at 11 a.m. at McMahan Baptist Church, 6084 FM 713,
Dale (McMahan), Texas on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016.
There will be a lunch reception at the Church following the services. In lieu of flowers, the family
suggests contributions or donations to the McMahan
Church Building Fund.

Council discussed, and
ultimately approved, an
increase to drainage utility fees.
According to City
Manager Vance Rodgers,
the fees have not been increased for more than 15
years, and the increase is
intended to provide additional services to the
community.
“We have 100 miles of
curbed streets,” Rodgers
said. “And we would
need one dedicated staff
member to operate the
street sweeper daily to
ensure that every street is
swept once a month.”
The city’s budget,
however, does not support such a position. Further, the street sweeper is
more than 10 years old,
and the cost to replace it
would be upwards of
$150,000.
Instead, Rodgers suggested the City enter a
contract with Sweep
Across Texas, an Austin
street-sweeping contractor, at a rate of $3,120 per
month. That cost, he said
would be offset by the increase in drainage utility
fees, and would allow for
all 100 miles of Lockhart
streets to be swept at
least once per month.
“This way, we can also
keep our street sweeper
in as good shape as possible, so that we can use it
for our special events,”
he said. “We need it after
all the events on the
Square, of course, and
naturally we have to use
it every Chisholm Trail
because of the horses.”
Residential customers
will see a 50 cent increase
in their drainage utility
fee, while commercial
customers will see a $2
increase. The increase is
expected to generate
around $39,000 in revenues, which will cover
the monthly cost of the
contract.
In brief news:
The council received
the state-required Racial
Profiling Report from
Lockhart Chief of Police
Mike Lummus. According to Lummus, the report reflects that the
Lockhart Police Departments policies of issuing
citations and performing
searches as a result of
traffic stops, is well in
line with state standards.

January Grand Jury indicts 13 alleged offenders
The Caldwell County Grand Jury brought indictments against 13 alleged felony offenders during January. Those facing charges include:
Jerry Jarrell Brice, 24, of Missouri City – Possession
of Marijuana (4 oz. – 5 lbs);
Bertha Kay Johnson, 29, of Lockhart –Possession of
a Prohibited Substance in a Correctional Facility;
Nathaniel Cory Jones, 30, of Lockhart – Aggravated

How do we expect a
kid to function in class on

morning,
when they didn’t get
home from Tivy until
midnight on Wednesday
morning? I can’t, for the
life of me, understand
what UIL was thinking.
One thing is for certain,
they weren’t thinking
about what’s best for our
kids.
I am as mystified as I
have ever been as to why
UIL doesn’t group us
with schools in our actual
geographical region.
Just as a “for instance,”
the currently-drawn District 25-5A contains seven
schools, all within Austin
ISD. It’s currently a
seven-school district, and
if Lockhart was moved to
25-5A, our kids would
have a total of 514.4
round-trip miles (in District 26-5A, we have 503.5
ONE WAY miles). What’s
more, if we were moved
into an Austin district,
our local parents would
have the opportunity to
support the kids. Because
let’s be honest, what
working person can take
off work three hours early
to drive 121 miles for an
out-of-town game at 5
p.m.?
I’m not suggesting that
we’re the only school district in the State in this
position, after the UIL realignment. Honestly, I’m
pretty sure we’re not. But
at the risk of sounding
like a bad person… I’m
not here to fight for anyone else’s kids. I’m here
to fight for Lockhart
kids… my kids… OUR
kids.

Random Act of Kindness
Has someone you
know done something
commendable for someone else? Someone,
somewhere in Martindale, must be doing
something nice this
week. If you have a random act of kindness idea
or would like to report
an awesome random act
of kindness that you
think should be recognized, feel free to contact
me! It could inspire
someone else do do
something nice as well.
Maybe you’ll start a
chain reaction and extra
kindness will erupt all
over Martindale! Please
contact
me
at [email protected].
Random Fun Facts
This week’s random
fun facts, found on buzzfeed.com, are exactly as
stated: random! Did you
know there are more
ways to shuffle a deck of
cards than there are
atoms in the entire
earth??
By rough approximation, there are 10^4910^50 atoms that make
up Earth. To figure out
how many combinations
can be made from 52
cards, you multiply
52×51×50x49…etc. That
means there are 10^67
ways to shuffle a deck of
cards!
A million seconds
from right now is 11 days
from now. A billion seconds from right now is in
30 years. Specifically, 11
days, 13 hours, 46 minutes equal a million seconds, and 40 seconds and
31.71 years are a billion
seconds. Really puts
those big numbers in
perspective huh?
Technically, all the
planets in our solar system could fit between the
Earth and moon, since
the average distance be-
tween the Earth and the
moon is 239,200 miles
and the total distance
covered by the the diameter of all the planets
stacked next to each
other is 233,865 miles.
(Wow.)
Last but not least interesting, Starfish may
lack a centralized brain,
they still have a nervous
system and are sensitive
to things like touch and
light.
Martindale Soup
Kitchen
Still fighting the (almost) cold weather? A
cup of warm soup might
help! Martindale’s free
soup kitchen is open
every Wednesday, 11:30
a.m. - 1 p.m. This is a free
mission for anyone who
could use a delicious
lunch! The soup kitchen
is located at 308 Bowie in
Martindale. Please call
(512) 227-2302 for more
information.

L OCKHART H APPENINGS
Chris Cantu-Salazar,
Location Scout/Manager
for filming of all kinds in
the Austin area was the
speaker at the January
meeting of the Irving
Club held at the Dr. Eugene
Clark
Library.
Among the information
conveyed to his audience
were interesting facts
about the filming of “The
Leftovers,” the HBO series that gained a lot of attention in Lockhart over a
period of several months
last year.
He said that his job is to
read the scripts of potential movies, TV, and other

place that fits those needs.
When he drove through
downtown Lockhart, he
was impressed, but the
courthouse
was
the
clincher. He was equally
impressed
with
the
houses that were eventually chosen as filming
sites, as well as such structures as the Fire Stations.
His challenges are to
find the the best place for
the filming with the
fewest hindrances such as
obstructive utility poles
and power lines.

He said it took about
ten days to shoot each
episode, and there were
ten episodes.
He
couldn’t
say
enough about the cooperation of Lockhart from the
City government to the
citizens who drove out of
their way to avoid blockaded streets. He also commended the people who
lived in the neighborhood
of the central location,
saying they caused few
wrinkles. One of those
people lives directly
across the street happened to be sitting in his
audience. (Nice going,
Diane.)
Cantu-Salazar said that
Lockhart will be definitely considered for future
projects.
He
mentioned that this series
had contributed $1.5 million to the economy of the
community, to say nothing of the money spent in
the locally on food.

How to take action in tough times: Helping loved ones through heartache
When things go awry
for someone you love, it
can be hard to know just
how to help. Don’t let fear
of saying or doing the
wrong thing prevent you
from taking action. It’s important to remember that
some gesture, whether big
or small, is better than
doing nothing at all.
If you find yourself unsure of how you can lend
a hand in a time of need,
start by envisioning what
you might find helpful if
you ever found yourself
in the same situation. Also
take into account special
circumstances that may
hinder delivering on that
need and seek alternatives. For example, a child
fighting a severe illness
may be desperately missing friends from school,
but visitors are limited
due to his compromised
immune system. Your answer for taking action:
work with the child’s
teacher and have classmates make cards or
funny videos you can
share.
Overcoming emotion
and channeling that energy into action can be a
challenge when times are
tough, but these ideas will
help give you the inspiration to get started:
Acknowledgement.
Sometimes the greatest
help can be hearing that
you’re not alone. A simple
call or a card letting your
loved one know that
you’re thinking of them is
a small but important gesture in a time of need. Not
knowing what to say or
fear that talking about it
will bring more pain
keeps many people quiet
in the face of tragedy. A
support system that helps
chase away a sense of isolation is important.

right platform can help
ensure the success of your
campaign. Move Your

to support new users via
email and live chat, helping tell a compelling story
and even select impactful
photos and videos. The
service also offers the lowest fees currently available
with no campaign time

Donations.
When
casseroles have been delivered, cards sent and
other immediate needs
seen to, you may find
yourself asking what next.
That’s when a thoughtful
gesture such as donating
your time, money or
things to a related charity
is sure to be appreciated.
Your contributions may
or may not directly affect
the individual you’re acting on behalf of, but the
show of support sends a
strong message.
Crowdsourcing. Relying on the vastness of social media is a smart
strategy for gaining financial support, whether it’s
helping defray expenses
or raising funds in honor
of a special person or
cause. For example, iPads
from Isaac, a crowdsourcing campaign through
Move Your Mountain, has
raised more than $10,000

money or items they need,
such as books, new pajamas or a cozy blanket. On
the flip side, if you’re the
one giving, let your recipient know a contribution

information about the

Little Buckaroo Farms shows journey from farm to table
Once again, the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension
Service is saddling up with H-E-B to present the Little Buckaroo Farms tent during the San Antonio
Livestock Show and Rodeo, according to exhibit coordinators.
The tent will in the Family Fair area of the San Antonio Livestock Exposition grounds.
“The exhibit introduces visitors to agricultural
production, nutrition, horticulture, natural resource
conservation and more,” said David Rodriguez,
AgriLife Extension horticulturist for Bexar County
and an exhibit coordinator.
Rodriguez said Bexar County Master Gardeners
will return as one of the main exhibitors. The Bexar
County Master Gardener association is a volunteer
horticulture program of AgriLife Extension.
“Bexar County Master Gardeners will have an information booth in the tent to provide visitors with
information and advice on gardening, landscaping,
lawn maintenance and irrigation,” he said. “They
also will be selling the popular Rodeo Tomato.”
Red deuce has been selected as this year’s Rodeo
Tomato from Texas A&M AgriLife. It will be sold at
the H-E-B Little Buckaroo tent. (Texas A&M AgriLife photo)
Rodriguez said this year’s tomato is the red deuce
— a reliable medium-to-large fruit producing beefsteak variety with a “superb sugar-to-acid flavor”
and very good disease resistance.
“The plants we will have for sale at the rodeo
were grown locally by Peterson Brothers Nursery,”
he said.
He said Master Gardeners will have also have the
newest Purple Heart bluebonnet for sale, as well as
the newest Texas Superstar Whopper begonias and
Texas Superstar satsuma varieties, including Orange
Frost, Arctic Frost, Bumper and Lemon Frost.
“All proceeds go to the Bexar County Master Gardener scholarship fund,” he said.
Rodriguez noted each year dozens of Master Gardener volunteers from Bexar and Guadalupe counties contribute hundreds of hours to the planning,
design and presentation of exhibits in which AgriLife Extension participates.
“This year, AgriLife Extension will also be coordinating two Adopt-A-Tree giveaways with the city
of San Antonio and Bartlett Tree Experts,” he said.
“The first giveaway will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb.
13 or while supplies last. The next tree giveaway will
also be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 20, also while
supplies last.”
Rodriguez said the first
giveaway of 300 trees in
one-gallon containers is
part of the city’s Tree Mitigation Fund initiative, an
effort to get San Antonio
residents to plant more
trees.
“Bartlett Tree Experts
will provide another 400
trees for the second giveaway,” he said. “Tree
samplings from Bartlett
will include live oak, bur
oak, lacey oak and cedar
elm.”
Rodriguez said to make
sure more people benefit,
Master Gardeners will
only provide one tree per
household during both
giveaways.
“Another Little Buckaroo activity will be a live
garden show broadcast from noon to 2 p.m. on
Feb.14 by KLUP radio station,” he said. “People can
call in and have their horticultural questions answered by former AgriLife Extension horticulturists
Dr. Calvin Finch and Dr. Jerry Parsons, and tent visitors can listen in.”
Rodriguez also said AgriLife Extension specialist
John Smith, based in College Station, will provide a
rainwater harvesting program from 3-4 p.m. on Feb.
27.
“This will be an informal presentation on how to
make a rain barrel for capturing rainwater,” Rodriguez said.
A number of fun and educational hands-on youth
activities are offered for “little buckaroos” who come
to the tent. (Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
photo)
A number of youth activities will also be offered
at the tent, said Ruby Zavala, AgriLife Extension
youth gardens program coordinator, Bexar County.
“We try to get youth involved in gardening as a
means to expose them to nature and learn respect for
the environment and natural resources,” Zavala
said. “During the rodeo, we have hands-on activities
so kids can see how much fun it is to learn about nature.”
She said youth activities will include a Make Your
Own Love Bugs craft activity from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on
Feb.13 and 14; a Make A Terrarium Necklace! craft
activity from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Feb. 20 and 21; and a
Pot-A-Plant activity from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Feb. 27
and 28.
“We feel these activities will help young people
learn more about the importance of nature and also
give them an opportunity to see how to take care of
things so they can grow,” Zavala said.

New UIL alignment ups Lions’ travel time
By Kathi Bliss
Lockhart received the long end of the stick on
Monday morning, when the University Interscholastic League announced the District Realignments for the 2016-2018 school years.
Over the last four years, Lockhart athletes have
grown accustomed to long periods of travel, as
they face foes on the court such as Kerrville Tivy
and Boerne-Champion. Beginning next year, the
Lions will add more travel to their schedule, with
Castroville Medina Valley, Dripping Springs and
Marble Falls added to the roster.
“It doesn’t make sense, the way they drew the
district this year,” said Sheila Henderson, Executive Director of Athletics and UIL Activities.
“We’re really the only school east of San Antonio.
I feel like we should have been grouped with the
Austin schools, even the San Antonio schools. This
meals appeared to not factor into UIL’s decision.
“As far as football is concerned, it’s going to be
a competitive district,” Herman said. “It’s going to
be a situation where every team is going to have to
fight every week for the win, and I can see situations where there are going to be a lot of tiebreakers going into the playoffs.”
Additionally, they noted, the incoming schools
each carry histories of success in volleyball, basketball, track and softball.
It was unclear at press time if Henderson and
Superintendent Susan K. Bohn intend to appeal the
decision to UIL in the hopes of being placed in a
District with less travel time. If they choose to appeal, the request, the required paperwork must be
filed by Feb. 11.
Follow www.post-register.com for updates as
they become available.
grouping doesn’t make sense, because of the
travel.”
All told, Lockhart students will travel more than
1,000 total miles per sports season as they compete
in the new District 26-5A.
The District includes familiar faces such as
Seguin, Alamo Heights, Kerrville Tivy and BoerneChampion, and new rivals, Marble Falls, Dripping
Springs and Medina Valley.
“Playing in the district we’ve been in for the last
four years has raised the bar for all of our athletes,”
Assistant Athletic Director and Head Football
Coach Brian Herman said. “So we aren’t worried
about that. But being on a bus for a couple of
hours, and then playing a game and getting back
on the bus for a few more hours takes a toll on the
kids.”
Further, they said, the increase in travel will increase the budget for the Athletic Department, as
expenses such as gas, bus maintenance and student

Congratulations, Student Athletes of the Week!
Once again this year, the Lockhart Post-Register and
the Lockhart Lion Athletic Department are proud to
continue to recognize the young men and women in
the Lion Athletic Department by naming the Student
Athletes of the Week.
Each week until the end of the school year, coaches,
teachers and administrators are invited to nominate
one boy and girl at the High School and Junior High
campuses, as well as one student from the ML Cisneros Freshman Campus, as Student Athletes of the
Week. The students are chosen, not only for their athletic prowess, but on the basis of leadership, academics and student involvement.
We have expanded the student questionnaire this
year, to include more information about the students
themselves, as young men and women outside the
confines of the classroom or the sporting arena.
Congratulations to this week’s Student Athletes of
the Week.
Kendra Litchfield - Senior
Softball
If you were teacher for
a day, what would you do
or say to motivate your
students to learn? I would
quote this paper Coach
Snell gave us about a retiring soccer player who
said, “you only get out
what you put in.”
How and when did you
first get interested in
sports? My dad signed me
up for tee-ball, and I guess I was hooked.
What is something a coach has said to you that has
made a difference in how you play or motivated you
to play better? Who was the coach? Coach Cox was
the assistant coach my freshman year. He helped me
build confidence and break out of my shell a bit.
How does your parent or guardian help to support
you as an athlete? My parents do everything they can
to support me, even traveling to club tournaments in
Houston or Dallas, or sometimes even farther.
Nomination comments: Kendra is a senior, and returning all-district catcher. She is ranked second in her
class, and just signed with UT Dallas. Kendra is the
epitome poster child for student athlete. Hard worker,
puts the team first and is a great role model for all
Lockhart athletes.

Varsity Soccer
The Lions varsity team split two games last week to
move into second place in the District standings after
four games. On Tuesday, Jan. 26, the Lions varsity
team lost at home to the Alamo Heights Mules, the
defending 2015 District 27-5A Champions. The Lions
played well to start the game, but Alamo Heights
scored in the 20th minute to take a 1 – 0 lead at halftime. The game remained close in the second half
until Alamo Heights scored again in the 17th minute
for a two-goal lead.
The Mules closed the scoring with a late goal in the
37th minute for a 3-0 win over the Lions.
On Friday, Jan. 29, the Lions varsity team defeated
the Floresville Tigers on the road for their third victory in District play.
Junior Ulicis Castellan scored early in the sixth
minute of the first half.
Junior Jonathon Marin scored in the 13th minute
followed by a goal by sophomore Edder Guerrero in
the 24th minute to give the Lions a 3 – 0 lead at halftime.
In the second half, the Lions wore out the Floresville defenders to score seven goals for a 10 – 0 victory.
Junior Benito Bustos scored in the sixth minute, followed by goals by Castelan (11th minute), senior Juan
Estrada (15th minute), Julian Ramirez (18th minute),
Castelan for his third goal (20th minute), Ramirez for
his second goal (25th minute), and Bustos for his second goal (28th minute).
The win over Floresville moved the Lions into second place in the District standings behind Alamo
Heights
“It is nice to be in second place in District but we
know that we have to continue working hard after the
loss to Alamo Heights,” said Lions Head Coach David
Ramos.
The Lions varsity record for the season is 9-2-1, and
their District record is 3-1-0. They have outscored
their opponents 35 – 7. The varsity’s leading scorer is
Marin with seven goals.
The Lions hosted Kerrville Tivy on Tuesday, Feb. 2,
and will be on the road
against
San
Antonio
Kennedy on Friday. They
will return to Lockhart
Junior High School Stadium to face BoerneChampion on Tuesday,
Feb. 9.
This week the Lady
Lions Varsity Soccer Team
traveled to San Antonio to
face off against defending
District and Bi-District
champion Alamo Heights
Mules in the third district
game of the season.
Despite the 9-0 result
against the 29-player deep
Mules, the Lady Lions
brought a strong unified
defensive front to the
Muledome, and although
did not come home with a
“W,” they instead brought
home valuable lessons that
can be used both on the
field and in the real world.
The entire team showed
patience and camaraderie
in their fight against
Alamo Heights, as they
worked to tire the forward
offense of the Mules.
Throughout the match,

they take on San Marcos, Seguin and Alamo Heights.
As the Lady Lions’ basketball season draws to a
close, the Varsity split victories last week, with a 4845 win over Kennedy, and a 21-48 loss to Kerrville
Tivy.
On Tuesday, Jan. 26, the Lady Lions took the long
drive to Kerrville to take on the playoff-poised
Antlers.
Despite strong shooting and an amped-up defense
from the Lady Lions, the Antlers took the night, 2148.
Princess Daniels led the Lady Lions in scoring,
with 12 points. Iris Guill followed with six points, and
Deja Wells rounded out scoring with three.
The Lady Lions returned home to the Lion’s Den
on Friday night to host the Kennedy Rockets, picking
up a spirit-boosting District win.
The Lady Lions came out of the gate hot, taking an
18-5 first-quarter lead. They continued to put on the
pressure, closing the first half up 23-13. The Rockets
turned the tide in the third quarter, outscoring the
Lady Lions 16-7, but they were not able to stay ahead,
and the Lady Lions’ fourth-quarter push brought in
the 48-45 win.
Daniels stacked up 24 of the Lady Lions’ points,
including three key three-pointers. Sydney Shaw
scored eight, and Guill picked up five. Wells and
Macy Minter had four points each, and Kim Rotzler
closed out scoring with three.
The Lady Lions were on the road this week, taking on the Boerne-Champion Chargers on Tuesday,
and will close their Varsity season at home on Tuesday, Feb. 9 against the San Marcos Rattlers.

teams competed at the Lehman Invitational Powerlifting Meet.

Both Lady Lion and Lion powerlifting teams will

Varsity Golf
The Lockhart High School Varsity Boys Golf Team
participated in the San Marcos Rattler Invitational
Tournament last Monday.
The Lions shot a combined 368 to finish in third
place.
Cavan Anton led the Lions with a low score of 90,
while Belton Andress chipped in a 92 and Michael
Gonzales and Ben Visage each scored a 94. Wyatt
Beaver shot a 104 to round out the field for the Lions.
This was the first Spring Tournament for the boys,
who will next travel to Seguin for a Tournament at
Starcke Park on Feb. 24.
JV Basketball
The JV fought hard but fell short against SA
Kennedy last week.
The game was back and fourth for most of the
game, but the Rockets went on a late run to close out
the game.
The Lions were led on offense by Luke Hippensteel and Daniel Cruz. Trival Joseph and Logan
Brown played tough defense and provided hustle
and rebounding.
The Lions took on Boerne-Champion in their final
home game on Tuesday. They will be on the road to
close out the season against San Marcos, Seguin, and
Alamo Heights.

JV Soccer
The Lockhart JV girls
squad travelled to Alamo
Heights and played well,
but left with a 8-0 defeat.
Brandie Castillo made
her debut appearance as
goalkeeper and made
several acrobatic saves.
The back defensive
line comprised of Edith
Cortez, Julianna Colurciello, Samantha Wolfe,
and Jessica Pena made
the Alamo Height’s attacks difficult to overcome.
The Lockhart JV midfield starring Jazmine
Guzman, Reanna Torres,
Mikayla Hernandez and
Dessare Sysavath not
only broke up several
plays but transitioned
forward with speed.
The front line comprised of the duo Jollean
Vasquez and Aracely Varillas, who challenged the
opposition’s line relentlessly but failed to find
the back of the net.
Super
substitutes
Vanessa Baez, Jaisel Carillo, and Grecia Munoz
added depth to the midfield and created multiple
opportunities to score.
In addition Alyssa
Dechene gave the defense added aggression
when coming off the
bench.
During the second half
Summer Schulze returned to goalkeeping
and exhibited tremendous courage between
the posts with her communication and saves.
The JV Soccer girls
fought hard but in the
end conceded a goal in a
1-0 loss to Seguin. The
majority of the game the
JV squad dominated possession and shots on target, however could not
find the back of the net.
Summer Schulze, the
goal keeper, made several
saves and demonstrated
composure in front of the
goal.
The back line defense,
composed of Samantha
Wolfe, Edith Cortez, Julianna Colurciello, and
Jessica Pena, created an
impenetrable
wall.
Where as in midfield,
Aracely Varillas, Reanna
Torres, Mikayla Hernandez, and Dessare Sysavath offered not only
creativity in the middle of
the park but a second
layer of defense. The forwards, Karen Chavez
and Jollean Vasques, gave
Seguin’s back line a several instances to be nervous with shots on target.
In addition to the starting
XI, super substitutes
Yesenia Morales, Jazmine
Guzman, and Grecia
Munoz gave the midfield
fresh pairs of legs and impacted the game by
adding to the pressure
going forward.
On Jan. 26, the Lions
JV team lost a close game
at home to Alamo
Heights. Alamo Heights
opened the scoring with a
goal in the 21st minute of
the first half, and scored
again just two minutes
later to take a 2 – 0 halftime lead. The Mules expanded their lead with a
goal in the 17th minute of
the second half, but Lions
senior Juan Estrada
scored a few minutes
later to close the gap. The
game ended with a 3 – 1
win by the Mules.
On Jan. 29, the Lions
JV scored early and often
to defeat the Floresville
Tigers.
In the first half, goals
were scored by five freshmen, Jose Rodriguez
(third minute), Gaspar
Galindo (19th minute),

minute), Bruno Mendoza
(30th minute) on a
penalty
kick,
and
Jonathon Martinez (35th
minute), for a Lions 5 – 0
halftime lead.

JV continued their offensive surge with goals by
sophomore Juan Morales
(third minute), Mendoza
for his second goal (23rd
minute), junior Jhovanni
Munoz (24th minute),
senior Dustin Schulze
(30th
minute),
and

game were Jayden Garza,
Jason Franks, Jordan
McKinney, Seth Sanchez,

game and trailing by five
at the end of the first
quarter, the Lions came
back strong to take a onepoint lead into halftime.

and took turns taking the
lead. However, at the end
of the third quarter the
Lions were ahead by two
points and maintained
that lead until the end of
the game.
The Lions were led by
Jason Franks with 32
points, Jordan McKinney
with 12 points, Ryan Butler with seven points (including
two

Florida Trail to Pensacola, and then got back
on his bike to cycle to
Minnesota. In Minnesota,
Dave traded his bicycle
for a kayak and paddled
all the way down the Mississippi River. In October, he set off from New
Orleans towards Texas.
He’s calling this leg of his
journey, “A Walk Across
Texas,” and he plans to
meander around the state
until March and visit 40
state parks along the way.
I had the pleasure of
meeting Dave when he
stopped at Lockhart State
Park in January.
He
showed up with a camera
crew, of all things. Having already traveled to
about a dozen state parks,
news of Dave’s journey
had spread to the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department television crew,
who wanted to feature
his adventure on their
TPW Television Series.
The crew had found Dave
earlier that morning (on
his way to Lockhart from
Palmetto State Park) and
filmed him around town
buying shoes, sipping
coffee, and walking in
front of the Caldwell
County Courthouse. At
Lockhart State Park, the
crew filmed him checking
in, setting up camp, walking the trails, and interviewed him. I’m told that
the episode featuring
Dave (and our community) will air on PBS in
October, so keep any eye
out!
Since Dave is traveling
through Texas on foot, he
keeps everything he
needs in a backpack.
When I went down to
Dave’s campsite to visit, I
realized that everything is
not much - a tent, food,
and toiletries are the only about learning the call of said. “I just don’t want to Dave and get inspired to here: http://www.davidhave your own adven- owenroberts.com/

PUBLIC
ANNOUNCEMENT
Longhorn Hearing PLLC announces unique hearing aid trial program,
with NO upfront cost, NO commitment and NO risk
Area residents who want to try today’s most advanced
hearing aids — without upfront cost, commitment or risk
— are urged to call today to participate in the Flex:trial™
program.
Who should participate in Flex:trial?

• Had a hearing test but decided against hearing aids
• Currently wear hearing aids but are looking for something
better
Dave Roberts and Ranger Lauren Millicam visited
during Roberts’ stay at Lockhart State Park recently.
packing terms). While he
is traveling between
parks, Dave practices
“stealth camping,” which
means he sleeps in his
tent wherever he can find
a safe and secluded spot,
even on the side of a road.
His budget for this trek is
only $20 a day, but he has
money left over every
month.
When asked why he
decided to make such a
trek, Dave says he chose
it for the lifestyle.
“I want to use my
body, breath unconditioned air, and meet people I’ve never met,” he
said.
He told me stories
about the people he met
on the Appalachian Trail
and the tight bonds they
shared. He is excited
(Ursa Major and Ursa
Minor are the latest triumphs). He enjoys proving to people that life can
be enjoyable without 21st
century
conveniences,
and I find myself wholly
inspired.
“You can do it all,” he
said to me, “you just can’t
do it all at the same time.”
After visiting us at
Lockhart State Park, Dave
continued on his journey
(to Blanco State Park and
Guadalupe River State
Park next). After this
Texas leg of his trip, he
plans to head back North
on the Continental Divide
Trail, do some biking,
hike the Pacific Crest
Trail, and see the West
Coast.
“I’m going to do this
until I get tired of it,” he
