The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, July 24, 2013 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 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.” Classifieds! Real Estate 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.

Get yours today! The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, July 24, 2013 The Dirt on Hill Country 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.

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) JISD NEWS by Dr. Reneé Schulze 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.

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.

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.” Page 14 The Junction Eagle, Wednesday, July 24, 2013 TEXAS ANGORA GOAT RAISER’S ASSOCIATION 94th Annual Show & Sale Hill Country Fairgrounds Junction, Texas Show: Friday, July 26, 2013 DAVIS Special Class Saturday, July 27, 2013–11 a.m. Sale: Saturday, July 27, 2013– 1:00 p.m. Registered Angora Yearling Bucks and Does Registered Angora Buck and Doe Kids NEW THIS YEAR $500 Rebate to any FFA/4-H student who buys an animal through our sale.

N-29-1c 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 Junction Middle School Library, Junction, Texas. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the school district's budget that will determine the tax rate that will be adopted. Public participation in the discussion is invited. 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 great-grandson of the late Dr. P.B. Hill, and has spent most of the last 20 years working with Christian relief and development organizations, including almost ten years in Africa. A 7:30 p.m. worship service will be held that night with Pastor Ray Tear, First Presbyterian, Ingram. Mon., Aug. 5, the worship service at 7:30 with Pastor John Wheat, Trinity Baptist, Kerrville. Tues., Aug. 6, Frankie Enloe and the Guadalupe Boys will be sharing their bluegrass/country gospel message at 7 p.m. Wed., Aug. 7, Pastor Ray Altmman, First United Methodist of Kerrville, will provide the message at 7:30 p.m. Veterans and troops will also be recognized at the “Salute our Troops” night.

Sun., Aug. 11, at 10:45 a.m. Names of family and friends passing away since last camp meeting will be recognized. Pastor Greg Young will lead the worship service. He is the Hill Country Chapter leader for the Oak Initiative and is a member of the Bandera County Christian Fellowship. Bible classes for children, men and women will be held on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights at 7 p.m. with the following speakers: Bill Ragsdale, Justice of the Peace for Precinct 4, and John Collis, pastor of Hunt Baptist Church, will be the speakers for the men.
