City Council votes to not allow
dog-friendly restaurant patios
By MADISON SIMMONS
Dog owners must continue to leave
their furry friends at home while enjoying restaurants in Georgetown.
A motion to allow restaurants to
make their patios dog-friendly died in
the city council chambers on Tuesday
after a 3-4 vote to pass it. It would have
allowed restaurants to apply to the
Williamson County and Cities Health
District for a variance to current policies restricting dogs from patios.
“This really is not about dogs, this
is about freedom: freedom of restaurant owners, for property owners,
freedom for business owners and
freedom for customers,” said Councilman Keith Brainard, who brought
forth the item.
Jeff Barrett, a resident and the
proud owner of two great Pyrenees
dogs, elected to speak in favor of
passing the resolution. He suggested
that not having dog-friendly dining
options in town caused economic
loss to Georgetown, explaining that
he and his wife frequent the many
dog-friendly eateries at The Domain
outdoor mall complex in Austin so
that they can bring their dogs with
them.
The proposal came attached with
criteria, such as the patio space had
to be enclosed, no food could be prepared outside and a prominent sign
must be posted at the restaurant’s
entrance telling customers that the
patio accepted dogs.
Councilman Steve Fought, who voted against it, argued, “the statement,
‘It’s about freedom et cetera, et cetera
... ’ You ought to be free to do 90 and
100 miles an hour on the highway too,
but it’s not safe.”
Compromise
offered in
Confederate
controversy
He assured the room that he was
also a “dog person,” but referred to
the proposal as an “invitation to disaster.”
Councilmen Ty Gipson, John Hesser and Tommy Gonzalez joined Mr.
Fought in opposition. Councilwomen Rachael Jonrowe and Anna Eby
joined Mr. Brainard in supporting
the motion.
Blue Hole problems
Councilwoman Jonrowe raised
a motion to call the city to action in
response to what she referred to as
“overcrowding” in the Blue Hole
Park.
“If you glimpse towards Blue Hole,
you probably noticed that the crowds
are pretty sizable, especially on the
weekend,” she said.
Five blocks north of downtown
along North Austin Avenue, this free
park offers picnic areas, swimming
and wading. The limestone-bordered
lagoon has been packed daily since
May.
Ms. Jonrowe said that with more
use has come problems. Her list of
constituent concerns included: excessive littering, personal grills with
open flames, tents and other shade
structures obstructing the sidewalk
and in the water, underuse of the city
parking garage, parking violations,
off-leash animals, illegal cliff-jumping, cigarette-smoking and possible

Former Georgetown Mayor MaryEllen
Kersch proposes a plaque be erected near the
Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument
on the south side of the county courthouse to
“clarify history” and create harmony.
Ms. Kersch appeared in commissioners
court Tuesday, offering to raise funds for such
a marker, saying the plan offers an alternative if the county will not remove the century-old statue from the public square.
“More than 150 years ago, the Civil War was
supposed to be over, but resistance to freedom
for our enslaved population and their descendants has prohibited setting aside the specter
of that debacle,” Ms. Kersch said.
“The continuing injustices and indignities
to a large segment of our community continue even now. Those of us who believe we are
one human race are troubled by that continuing unfair treatment.”
In 2015, members of San Gabriel Unitarian
Universalist Fellowship launched an unsuccessful effort to have the monument relocated. They suggested a cemetery would be a
more appropriate place for it.
Supporters of the monument launched a
counter petition in favor of keeping it. They
say it does not promote slavery but rather
pays tribute to Confederate heroes who bravely fought in the Civil War.
Ms. Kersch made her comments during the
citizens’ comments portion of the meeting.
She referred to the statue as “a testament to
inaccurate history.”
She proposes six statements be engraved
on the plaque, including an excerpt from the
“Declaration of Causes” adopted at Texas’
1861 Secession Convention, which reads:
“We hold as undeniable truths that the
governments of the various States, and of
the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and
their posterity; that the African race had no

Hoskins-Brown gets her police job back
After three-year legal battle, city owes her more than $100K
By MADISON SIMMONS
Stephanie Hoskins-Brown walked out of
City Council chambers Tuesday night feeling
like a vindicated woman.
In a 7-0 vote, city council members elected to
move forward with a settlement for her reinstatement. Three years, one month and a few
days after Chief Wayne Nero fired her for the
first time, Ms. Hoskins-Brown will receive a
badge and resume work as a Georgetown police officer.

all declined to make fur-
ther comment.
According to the settlement, Ms. HoskinsBrown will be reinstated within the next
week. She will immediately use two weeks of
her vacation leave. An exact date has not been
set, but she will begin working sometime in
August.
Her father, former police officer Steve
Hoskins, said Stephanie was “excited and
nervous, obviously.
“Let’s just say she’ll be going back to the
same chief of police who has called her a liar
twice and has never apologized,” he said.
In June 2013, Ms. Hoskins-Brown was suspended indefinitely on allegations from a
Round Rock police officer, an ex-boyfriend of
hers, that she drank contraband hallucinogenic cactus juice and took his prescription
pills.
Later that year, she was reinstated when
a hearings examiner found the city had not
effectively proved that Ms. Hoskins-Brown
was dishonest when questioned or that the
cactus juice incident even occurred, court
documents showed. All charges against Ms.
Hoskins-Brown have been dropped.
However, she was fired again after Chief
Nero stated that Ms. Hoskins-Brown was incapable of performing the “essential job function” of testifying in court.
The district attorney and county attorney
had filed a joint no-confidence letter stating
they would no longer take cases involving
Ms. Hoskins-Brown, based on her dishonesty.
They have since retracted the letter.
“Now she has almost four years of her life

Nearly four years after he
was indicted for the 1988 murder of 34-year-old Debra Baker, convicted killer Mark Alan
Norwood is expected to stand
trial in Travis County in September.
Ms. Baker was found beaten
to death in her North Austin
home on January 13, 1988.
Mr. Norwood, 62, pleaded not
guilty to the crime in January
2014. His trial was initially delayed as he appealed his March
2013 conviction for the 1986
slaying of Christine Morton in
her south Williamson County
home.
The trial was delayed again
after the Federal Bureau of
Investigation changed the
way it calculates the probability that DNA found at a crime
scene matches an individual,
Travis County Assistant District Attorney Gary Cobb said
Wednesday.
The new numbers meant
prosecutors had to have evidence in the case recalculated.
“We wanted to make sure
the defense got those results
and had time to get it to their
experts,” Mr. Cobb said.
CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program
(Lifeline) to make residential telephone service more
affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families.
Eligible customers are those that meet eligibility standards
as defined by the FCC and state commissions. Residents
who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify
for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain
additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount
is available for only one telephone per household, which
can be either a wireline or wireless telephone. A household
is defined for the purposes of the Lifeline program as any
individual or group of individuals who live together at the
same address and share income and expenses. Lifeline
service is not transferable, and only eligible consumers may
enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully make false
statements in order to obtain Lifeline telephone service can
be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from
the program.
Lifeline eligible subscribers may also qualify for reliable
home high-speed Internet service up to 1.5Mbps for $9.95*
per month for the first 12 months of service. Please call

a change of venue.
The Third Court of Appeals
ruled that District Judge Burt
Carnes, who is now retired,
was right in allowing special
prosecutor Lisa Tanner, an
assistant attorney general, to
present evidence from the Baker case during the more than
week-long trial in San Angelo.
The court found that the
striking similarities between
the two crimes “constituted a
signature.”
Both victims were brunette,
white and mothers in their early 30s. Both were bludgeoned to
death while in their beds and
then covered with pillows. The
women were slain on the 13th
day of the month and both on
a Wednesday.
In each case, the culprit stole
a single item from the victim’s
home — a .45-caliber pistol in
the Morton case and a VCR in
the Baker case.
Ms. Morton’s husband, Michael Morton, served nearly
25 years in prison after being
wrongly convicted of his wife’s
murder in 1987.
Mr. Morton was released
from prison in October 2011.
His lawyers fought a long battle to obtain access to DNA
evidence found on a bloodstained blue bandana discovered by the victim’s brother,
John Kirkpatrick, outside the
couple’s home. Prosecutors say
DNA testing revealed traces of
not only Ms. Morton’s DNA but
that of Mr. Norwood’s as well.
In its decision, the Third
Court of Appeals said the state
focused on the DNA evidence
and the similarity between the
two crimes rather than “the
brutal nature of the Baker
murder.”
Ms. Baker’s family did
not wish to comment on the
upcoming trial or the many
delays. They set up the Facebook page “Remember Debra
Baker” to share memories and
post updates on the case.
“I think that any family that
has to wait for any amount of
time will feel some relief once
a case finally comes to trial,”
Mr. Cobb said.
“Certainly Debra Baker’s
family has waited a long, long
time. I can only imagine that
they can find some relief in
knowing there is a chance of
seeing some justice in their
loved one’s case.”

$11.35-$40.00 per month. Specific rates will be provided

“We wanted to make sure everybody is on track with that.”
A pre-trial hearing is set
Wednesday in Travis County’s
390th District Court.
Jury selection is slated to begin September 12.
“We anticipate the trial will
last about two weeks,” Mr.
Cobb said.
“We don’t anticipate it will
be reset but one never knows.”
Mr. Norwood, a former
dishwasher in Bastrop with
a lengthy criminal record, is
serving a life sentence in a
Huntsville prison for the Morton murder. He will be transferred to Travis County once
the trial date gets closer, Mr.
Cobb said.
In January 2015, the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals, the
state’s highest criminal court,
refused to review an August
2014 ruling by the Third Court
of Appeals in Austin upholding the conviction.
The lower court rejected
arguments that evidence from
Ms. Baker’s murder, which
was eerily reminiscent of the
Morton murder, was improperly introduced during Mr.
Norwood’s trial, which took

2015 Sidewalk
Master Plan.
B y MAT T LOE SCHMAN
Ten projects across the city
are complete under the 2015
Sidewalk Master Plan with
another 10 in progress and set
to be done in 2017 and 2018.
At a city council workshop
last month, Transportation
Analyst Nat Waggoner updated the group on the progress of
the multi-year plan.
“We are going to phase
funds accordingly,” Mr. Waggoner said.
“Especially in the downtown
area, we want to limit disruptions as much as possible. We
will not do all the downtown
projects in one year.”
The city’s sidewalk master
plan, approved by city council
in March 2015, inventoried
Georgetown’s existing pedestrian infrastructure, identified design deficiencies, evaluated future requirements and
developed an implementation
plan.
Before the initial work started, the city met with stakeholders to get their thoughts
on where sidewalks are needed and where repairs and upgrades are necessary.
“There were 14 stakeholder
meetings, two open houses and
a lot of feedback sent to us on
the city website,” Mr. Waggoner said.
“We had very good public
input.”
The transportation analyst
reported that input from stakeholders indicated the city’s
central business district was
most commonly mentioned for
sidewalk upgrades.
Other top priorities included Georgetown school district
facilities, Southwestern University, city parks and trails
and near retail centers.
City staff looked at all sidewalk segments within the city
limits and scored them against
a matrix, Mr. Waggoner said.

Projects were then grouped
based on their overall score
and given different priorities.
More than 60 percent of the
city’s sidewalks are currently
in excellent or good condition.
The Georgetown sidewalk
prioritization methodology
evaluated four major categories: pedestrian attractors, pedestrian safety, demographics
and special considerations.
Three tiers of projects were
identified through the analysis — Priority 1, Priority 2 and
Priority 3.
The highest project list (Priority 1) captures the public’s
three main priorities that are
sidewalks in the Downtown
Overlay District, connectivity
to Southwestern University
and connectivity to Georgetown ISD facilities as well as
accessibility projects designed
to bring the city into compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
Projects completed over the
last year include sidewalks
along Northwest Boulevard,
River Ridge Drive, South Rock
Street, Del Webb Boulevard,
Katy Crossing, Austin Avenue from Parkview Drive to
Georgetown High School and
Eighth Street from Rock Street
to South Austin Avenue.
Those completed projects
were paid for using local fund-
ing and community development block grants.
In progress and future projects include the Interstate 35
southbound frontage road
between Wolf Ranch and Leander Road, Eighth Street
from MLK to Rock Street,
Church Street from Eighth to
Ninth streets, 11th Street from
Church to Main streets and
10th Street from Main to Rock
streets.
Future sidewalks upgrades
will be funded using money
from the transportation bond
approved by Georgetown voters in 2015.

Construction starts
on 2M-gallon tank
B y MAT T LOE SCHMAN
A new 2 million-gallon water
storage tank will help improve
system performance for multiple Georgetown neighborhoods,
city officials said.
Late last month, the Georgetown City Council unanimously
approved a $2.84 million contract with Landmark Structures
of Fort Worth for construction
of the Cedar Breaks elevated
water storage tank.
“This has been in the budget
for a couple years now and in the
master plan longer than that,”
said Georgetown Systems Engineering Director Wesley Wright.
“Landmark is one of the premier tank builders in the country. They are already building
one for us off Westinghouse
Road.”
The project includes construction of a 2 million-gallon elevated water storage tank and all
piping necessary to connect the
existing system to the tank. The
improvements will provide additional elevated storage capacity for Berry Creek, Serenada,
DB Wood and the Leander Road
area.
Seven contractors obtained
plans and the city received three
competitive bids. The lowest
qualified bidder for the project
was Landmark Structures.
Landmark has previously
completed the city’s Jennings
Branch and Escalera tanks. The
tank under construction off
Westinghouse Road is the Rabbit
Hill elevated storage tank.
Assistant City Manager Jim
Briggs pinpointed the exact location of the future Cedar Breaks
tank.
“At the intersection of DB
Wood and Cedar Breaks Road
— on the south side, there is a
group of trees on a hill — that’s
where it will go,” he said.
Mr. Briggs said new storage
tanks are becoming necessary on an annual basis due to
Georgetown’s explosive population growth. The U.S. Census
Bureau recently ranked the city
the fastest growing in the nation
among those with populations
50,000 or higher.
“This expands our capacity
to provide water for the coming
growth,” the assistant city manager said.
“Many neighborhoods will
receive the benefit of having
this tank built. Because of the
growth and demand, we need it.”
The elevated tank also increases the ability to provide fire
flow for emergency situations.
“You don’t have to provide everything by just pumping,” Mr.
Briggs said.
The large metal tank with a
concrete base will be one of the
largest in the city. Georgetown
has a 4 million-gallon ground
storage tank, a 1.5 million-gallon
elevated tank on Leander Road
and others.
“We will likely need to build
another next year,” Mr. Briggs
said.
“When you have this type of
population growth, you’ve got
to have elevated water storage
— especially for fire protection.”
Construction of the new tank
begins this month and will not
be completed until near the end
of 2016, Mr. Briggs said.

How to have a safe hospital stay
Going to the hospital can be frightening and
worrisome, which is why it is important to be
prepared, informed and empowered.
At St. David’s Georgetown Hospital, we are
charged with diagnosing and treating patients’
health care needs while also keeping them safe.
In doing so, our hospital has earned several
accolades for clinical excellence, including a
national distinction for patient safety from The
Leapfrog Group for four consecutive years from
2012 to 2016. Additionally, St. David’s Georgetown Hospital was named among the 100 Top
Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics for four
years in conjunction with its parent campus, St.
David’s Medical Center.
Experience shows that the most common
hospital patient fears are infection, incompetence, death, cost and medical mix-ups. As
a patient, what can you do to make sure your
hospital stay is safe?
The following tips will better prepare you
for a planned or unexpected trip to the hospital and may reduce the length of your stay, as
well as your chances of having to return to the
hospital.
To avoid errors:
nMaintain an up-to-date list of medications,
allergies, physicians and medical history. Keep
a copy with you at all times, and give a copy to
your emergency contact.
n Do not accept medication in the hospital
until the nurse has positively identified you
using two methods of identification (usually
your name and date of birth), informed you of
the medication and given an explanation of the
side effects.

blood or take you somewhere unless they have

Health epidemic is killing our people
The United States is dealing with a public
health epidemic! This disease is killing school
children, police officers, young men and women
across our country.
In the past, our nation has rallied to address
serious epidemics such as polio, AIDS and lung
cancer, to name a few. We have undertaken an
organized approach toward a solution. First, we
gathered valid information. We then put money
into research to determine the causes of these
serious problems.
Ultimately, a multitude of solutions, including reducing cigarette usage through public
policy and education in the case of lung cancer,
or vaccines and public health measures in viral
illnesses, were implemented. As a result, many
lives have been saved.
Unfortunately, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is our nation’s major health research arm, is not allowed to collect
information on gun violence and its causes. As
a result, since 1996, the CDC has no comprehensive data, which would help us determine a rational approach to a public health problem that
Pet owners spend
money dining out
We have just had our city council vote down
a process that would allow restaurant owners
to apply for a variance for dog owners to bring
their pets to those restaurant patios.
This would have been a voluntary and requested action by the restaurant owners, not
mandated. Mr. Hesser stated he “would probably not go” to a restaurant that allowed dogs on
their patio and Mr. Fought called it a “recipe for
disaster.”
While it is certainly my right to avoid any
restaurant patio that serves certain city council members, in the United States of America,
that is my choice. It is my choice to patronize

n Before beginning an invasive procedure,
such as a surgery or biopsy, make sure the site
is marked and that the clinical team performs
a “time out” to identify everyone, describe the
procedure and verify agreement.
n Ask questions, have a friend or family
member with you, and review your discharge
instructions thoroughly.
To avoid infection:
nDo not allow anyone, including health care
professionals, family members or visitors, to
touch you unless you have seen them wash
their hands or use an antiseptic foam cleanser.
nKnow the signs and symptoms of infection,
such as fever or redness. Tell your doctor or
nurse if you notice any symptoms.
To avoid incompetence:
nChoose physicians and hospitals that have
demonstrated expertise when compared to
national standards. Do your research — visit
government websites and trusted, objective
sources, such as Truven Health Analytics, The
Leapfrog Group and Healthgrades.
It’s also very helpful to involve a family member or friend in your care. This person can accompany you when speaking with your physician, ask questions and take notes to help you
understand your care.
We are all patients, or will be one day. Everyone in the health care process — from the
care provider to the patient — plays a role in
delivering safe care. I encourage you to follow
the tips mentioned above to ensure you have the
safest and best experience possible while in the

You are not experts. Let experts decide how to
fix the problem.
Police treat people with respect when they
are being detained. I am not saying to put yourself or any innocent people in harm’s way. Detainees treat the police with the respect they
deserve for doing such a difficult job.
Politicians, until you can train the police
better at their job, give them a break. Not all
of them can shoot the guns out of a criminal’s
hands with a Taser gun. Not all know how to
use their X-ray vision to notice in the dark if a
criminal is extracting a gun or something else.
The police do not have the advantage of having
taken a drug that makes one think they are invincible.
Reporters, remember no one needs to be incited into doing violent things by making the
culprit into a hero. Tell the story but don’t try
to inform someone else how to achieve the same
thing. More than anything, do not instigate another problem. This is not a black, white, yellow,
or green man problem. It is an American problem and don’t forget it.
If we do not stop the politicians and reporters
soon we will have no one trusting the police and
no police that are willing to serve. Can we afford
only private police forces? I don’t think so. Only
politicians get public bodyguards on our dime.
Please do not cause us to shed any more tears

Trumps ‘success’

Perhaps that reader considers Trump’s four
bankruptcies a marker of success. Perhaps the
has multiple causes. Deaths continue. At this
point, we seem to have accepted gun violence
as a new normal.
Dealing with such widespread death, trauma, and sadness requires our prayers, but it
also serves as a call to action. By recognizing
this epidemic as a public health issue we can
view violence as a community disease that has
a solution if we, individually and as a nation,
begin to look for it in an organized fashion.
I encourage you to have conversations about
this idea of gun violence as a public health issue in your homes, your churches, and your
workplace. Also contact Senator John Cornyn

restaurant owner’s right to request that their
business have a variance to allow the patronage
of dog owners.
I will no longer be patronizing many of our
local establishments if they refuse me their patio with my dog. Pet owners have been shown to
dine out frequently and spend a lot of money in
our community. The council’s actions this week
will have a direct and deleterious effect on our
economy. It will also hurt the growth that council and many of its supporters seem to work so
hard to encourage. How many families and pet
owners want to move to a town that is deliberately dog unfriendly? What’s next? Banning
children from patios and restaurants? Seniors?
Dog owners have rights and in the coming
months we will fight for them.

reader didn’t realize that the working people
Trump owed money to ended up getting either
nothing, or pennies on the dollar, while Trump
continued living his life of luxury. He spends;
they pay. He’s on his third marriage, having
publicly stated that he cheated on his previous
two wives, and I guess that could be considered
a “success” compared to someone who has had
five or six wives, but to the rest of us, not so
much.
His fake university is in the news, with former students suing him for misrepresenting
his product. The things Trump has been undeniably successful at include shipping tens
of thousands of jobs overseas and importing
foreign workers to increase profits.
He’s also quite adept at painting minorities
with a slanderous brush, labeling them en
masse as thieves, murderers, terrorists and
drug dealers. He accuses a jurist, born in Indiana, of being incapable of rendering an impartial decision because he is of Mexican descent.
I can only wonder how he would view people
like me who have German ancestors. Would I
be labeled a Nazi?
And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention
Trump’s “wall.” Since the Chinese have a history of building great walls, I assume Trump
will import Chinese materials and workers to
build this shrine to idiocy, and then hand the
bill to Mexico. I’m sure the Mexican government will fork over the cash and include a 20
percent gratuity.
As for Trump being a political outsider, you
bet he is. Who would have him on the inside?

According to the settlement
reached and signed July 14,
the city will pay her $42,624.03

of these concerns with more
signage and increased police

“But there’s definitely ways
we can make improvements,”

The council voted to postpone
any decision-making until the
next council meeting on July 26.
Mr. Morgan will present ideas
for “reasonable amendments to

tent use, smoking, regulations
on grills and any actions that

Councilwoman Jonrowe expressed concern that change
would not come until the summer season was over.
“This comes up every year
and we have summer every
year. We need to do a little better
planning about stepping up and
doing this,” said Councilman
Hesser.
They adjourned with the understanding that city staff will
fix problems that do not require
any ordinance changes. This
includes increasing rule enforcement and implementing
visible signage of park rules.
They will also work on clearer

Fourth Streets, across from the

The parking garage is free

Hearing set in
DA lawsuit
B y J OYC E M AY
District Attorney Jana Duty is expected in
court Tuesday morning for the first hearing in
a civil lawsuit seeking to remove her from office.
Visiting Judge John Dietz set the hearing for
9:30 a.m. in Williamson County’s 425th District
Court.
Austin attorney Brian Bishop, who represents
plaintiffs Betty Schleder and Tom Madden, expects the hearing to last at least two hours,
depending on whether the judge asks for or allows testimony during the proceedings, he said
Wednesday.
Ms. Schleder and Mr. Madden, both of Georgetown, filed a 10-page petition June 13 claiming
Ms. Duty has exhibited a “pattern of dishonesty and untrustworthiness,” abandoned her post
and “compromised the integrity and effectiveness” of not only the district attorney’s office
but the county’s entire criminal justice system.
They want her suspended immediately.
Mr. Bishop told the Sun July 1 that he is prepared to present witnesses and question Ms.
Duty.
Austin attorneys and brothers Dan Richards
and Clark Richards are representing Ms. Duty,
who took office in January 2013, in her fight to
serve out the remaining five-and-a-half months
of her term.
Ms. Duty has requested an opportunity to
present her side before Judge Dietz determines
whether to issue an order for citation, which
would allow the case to move forward.
Her attorneys filed a six-page motion June 17
arguing that the civil suit should be suspended
until County Attorney Dee Hobbs or another
authorized representative of the state decides to
prosecute it.
Mr. Hobbs and his team plan to attend the
hearing, he said Wednesday.
His understanding of the legalities governing
the removal of elected officials from office is that
he cannot take any action until a judge rules to
move the case forward, Mr. Hobbs told the Sun
in June.
Ms. Duty was defeated in the March 1 Republican primary by criminal defense attorney
Shawn Dick, who will take office January 1.

many nieces and nephews who
were the loves of his life. He
was enthusiastically supportive of first responders, the military, and Longhorn football. He
was never happier than with a
dog in his lap. Some of Gary’s
most enjoyable times were on

Mr. Doering echoed Ms.
Kersch’s call, saying, “We

“By facing the truth, not
denying it, we’d be set free,”
he said.
“We’d be able to move
forward, not remain stuck
in the past. And together,
we’d be able to create a new
future for Williamson County to become known as a
caring, compassionate and
diverse county that seeks
to provide equal opportunity and justice for all. Our
county would indeed become a better place. And it
would not cost our county
one dime.”

Volleyball teams were in and out of the
Georgetown Recreation Center Thursday evening, each practicing before their Saturday
morning matches.
This year, there are 18 volleyball teams made
up of 150 girls ages 8 to 14 signed up with the recreation center, said Blake Reynolds, recreation
program coordinator.
“We’ve had a pretty good turnout this year.
The summer league will last until mid-August,”
Mr. Reynolds said.
The teams practice each Thursday evening
between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. The games are Saturday morning from 9:30 a.m. until about noon.
“The teams are doing great this year. It’s a lot
of fun for the kids,” Mr. Reynolds said.

Golf Club with its views of Lake Travis.
Forty women from a half dozen
area clubs participated, and the
host Lago Vista women captured
four of the eight flights.
Host victors were Lois Kruger
(87), Diane Davis (99) and Barbara
Boyne (104).
The third flight winner was Yong
Wells (101) of Stonetree Golf Club in
Killeen.
“The greens were very fast and
almost impossible to read,” according to Mary Williams of Georgetown Country Club.
Williams is the coordinator of
this monthly tournament.
“I think they may have been
mowed.” she said.
“We had a really good group of
ladies and we all had a good time.”
The net flight winners were Suzan Aronson and Mary Williams
from Georgetown CC, Insuk Beymer from Stonetree and Rebecca
Ferguson from Lago Vista.
Lago Vista initially opened as a
nine-hole course in 1971 to help generate sales for a development in the
area. It was then expanded to an
18-hole layout and operated as a
private club into the 1990s. That is
when it became a daily fee course.
Stonetree Golf Club in Killeen
hosts the next event on August 4.
Each monthly tournament is open
to any woman with an established
handicap.

Pirate receives nomination
Will Cates was named one of five nominees for the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Man of the Year award,
which is reserved for student athletes who have completed
intercollegiate eligibility in his primary sport by the end of
the 2016 spring season. That person must also have a grade
point average of at least a 2.5.
Cates, a recent graduate of Southwestern, is from Houston
and was a two-time All-SCAC and All-Region performer. As
a junior, he was named SCAC Player of the Year and was an
honorable mention for All-American for D3baseball.com. He
was also named the Dr. Tex Kassen Male Athlete of the Year
for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic school years.
The East View High School Cross
Country team has been running hard
this summer in preparation for the fall
season.
Since June 13, the team, which consists of runners from the Patriots and
Tippit Middle School, has met every
Monday through Friday at 7 a.m. at
San Gabriel Park to train for at least an
hour. Those athletes will get to attend
meets early in the season.
“The success of our cross-country
team depends heavily on our athletes
training consistently throughout
the summer,” said Coach Mike Burton. “Our competitors will begin the
cross-country season fit and ready to
race, and we need to be ready to race as
well.”
Running cross-country takes no prior
running experience, but requires athletes to run at least four days per week.
Keeping trained during summer helps
runners stay fit for the regular season,
Coach Burton said.
“Once the season starts, our training
will be very intense and athletes who
are not accustomed to running regularly are more likely to get injured,” Coach
Burton said.
“Athletes aspiring to run varsity need
to make summer running a priority.”
On Wednesday, the Patriots ran
alongside the Georgetown High School
Eagles for a time trial to gauge their fitness. The runs were approximately two
miles each.
“It’s a fun way to see where we’re at,”
Coach Burton said. “Those kids also
run around the same area as us.”
Those interested in supporting the
cross-country team can join the East
View Cross Country and Track Booster
Club. To join, contact Dawn Richardson
at [email protected].
The cross-country season begins September 3 with the first meet in San Marcos. It will continue until November 12,
with the final meet in Round Rock.

Residents get swept up in Pokemon craze
Continued from 1A
reaction nationwide. There
is no accurate count of how
many players the game has
garnered, but estimates range
anywhere from 4 million to 21
million. According to the data
insight company Super Data,
Pokemon GO made $14 million
within the first six days of its
release.
What is the game? It is essentially an animated map
with a gaming overlay. The
player’s avatar moves through
the map as the player moves
through the real world. The
aim is to capture Pokemon
(short for pocket monsters),
mythical creatures of a wide
range of shapes and sizes.
The player can elect to allow
the application access to the
phone’s camera, in which case
the Pokemon seems to appear
in the real world.
To succeed in the game, the
player has to visit Pokestops to
get Pokeballs (used to capture
Pokemon). They also must collect eggs containing Pokemon
or other bonus items. The user
has to walk a certain distance
to hatch the eggs, making
physical activity a necessity.
Georgetown resident Sam Kierzyk said that he now walks
approximately 10 miles some
days since he began playing
the game.
The game developers made
an effort to make virtual
Pokestops at real life historical markers, public parks, art
installations and other areas
of note to encourage people
to explore the places around
them.
“It does bring people together. If people bothered to look at
stuff around them, they might
actually learn something,”
said Jane Applewhaite, a frequenter of Cianfrani Coffee.
Virtual game, real life
concerns
“This is an email that I
never would have imagined
sending 20 years ago,” began a
message that Assistant Police
Chief Cory Tchida sent to his
police staff Sunday night.
He warned officers, “you’re
going to see behaviors that generate suspicion — but it’s not
suspicious.”
Pedestrians might disrupt
traffic, not pay attention when
going through crosswalks or
even jump into the street if
they are involved in game play,
he said. The game has also
raised trespassing and privacy concerns as some of the
Pokestops or other game areas
might be on private property.
Then there is the fear that users will play while driving.
On Tuesday, the Texas Department of Transportation
made a lighthearted Facebook
post that stated, “We know
you have to catch them all, but
only look for Pokemon when
you are not behind the wheel,”
that also had an accompanying
hashtag #WeShouldn’tHaveToTellYouThis.
There have been nationwide
reports of game-related car
crashes, and on Wednesday a
man was allegedly robbed at
an Austin bus stop while he
was immersed in Pokemon
GO.
“You’re operating in the real
world but you’re not paying
attention in the real world,”
warned Assistant Chief Tchida.
Georgetown business owners have definitely noticed the
increased foot traffic on the
Square. Some, such as Little
Tim’s Classic Barbering on
West Eighth Street have welcomed the opportunity to engage with the public. Owner
Tim Frederick explained that
he downloaded the game himself and found many Pokemon
in his shop. In between haircuts, he invited passersby
with their phones out to hunt
for Pokemon on the concrete
floors of the shop.
Galaxy Bakery’s co-owner
Ike Thorpe said he has seen
huge amounts of people in
front of his shop. He does not
understand the game and
joked that they blocked the
sidewalk from the door, but all
in all does not mind.
Bringing strangers
together
Part of the lure of the game
is sheer nostalgia.
“This is a childhood dream
come true,” said Georgetown
resident Chelsea Osborne.
She is one of many who
remember playing the game
as a kid. Nintendo’s line of
Pokemon games began in 1996.
They had handheld games,
console games and a line of
trading cards, all wildly popular.
Mr. Kierzyk echoed this. Almost 20 years after he began
playing Pokemon, this iteration of the game allows him
to come as close as possible to
inhabiting the fantasy world
of his youth.
“It’s a cool idea that I never
thought would happen,” he
said. “It’s crazy.”
Players are not just young
adults eager to indulge in reliving their youth, nor are they
just teenagers hanging out
during long summer nights.
“I laugh because I see people anywhere from 8 years old
to 60, 70 playing,” Mr. Kierzyk
said.
The game has become a
family activity for some, much
like a virtual scavenger hunt.
Clusters of parents with their
children roaming through San
Gabriel Park or around the
courthouse has become a common sight.
Georgetown resident Erik
Thureson had just begun playing with his kids Sunday night.
They were teaching him the
basics as he tried to catch up
to their level.
“It makes every day errands
a little more fun,” he said.
Some evenings, residents
have camped out in lawn
chairs on the Square. A version of tailgating began one
night when a group of teenagers parked in front of an outlet
station on the courthouse lawn
and piled in the bed of a pickup truck to socialize.
Groups call out to each other in greeting. Phrases like,
“I just caught a Charmander
over there!” or “Are there any
good ones in this area?” are
thrown about, sparking further conversation between
strangers. The Square, usually vacant during the week
after 10 p.m., now pulses with
the vibrancy of shared interests and the formation of
more connections.
In the words of Assistant
Chief Tchida, “It’s bringing
strangers together to enjoy
the game and Lord knows we
could use some togetherness
right now.”

Victims assistance unit takes care of details
By MADISON SIMMONS
More than three years ago,
Isabella Tebeau received her
first call as a volunteer with
the Williamson County Victim’s Assistance Unit. She met
with a Taylor police officer
who explained that there had
been a double fatality car accident early that morning and
the department needed her to
inform the next of kin.
She recognized the name
and the address. It was her
friend. She had to go to her
friend’s house and inform her
that her daughter died.
“How do you tell your friend
I have bad news for you?” she
said of that moment.
Driving home after comforting her grieving friend, she
prayed, as she always does, for
those who had experienced
loss and in gratitude that her
own family was okay and
waiting for her at home. Ms.
Tebeau thought that her fears
had been correct and that she
could not handle the challenges of volunteering.
Days later, she received a
thank-you card — the first of
many from victims she has
assisted — from her friend.
Ms. Tebeau knew then that
she would keep taking those
12-hour on-call shifts. Offering
comfort to those “at the worst
time of their life” is a way for
her to give back to the community of Taylor, the city she
chose to make her home after
moving from Frankfurt, Germany, 13 years ago. The experience gives something to her,
too.
“You know how valuable
life is and how important it is
to lift each other up. I go home
and love my family because I
can love my family,” she said.
Ms. Tebeau is one of around
40 volunteers for the Williamson County Sheriff ’s Office
Victim Assistance Unit. The
unit works with every law enforcement agency in Williamson County. Someone with the
group is on call 24/7.
“We are just blessed to live
in a county that understands
the importance of this,” said
volunteer coordinator Julie
Hobbs, one of the program’s
three employees. “They understand that there is a job to be
done beyond the law-enforcement element. They have to
focus on the investigation and
they rely heavily on us to take
care of the details.”
The details vary. Sometimes
they might be called to bring
water to the scene of an accident. Other times, they deliver
news of death to next of kin or
arrive on the scene of a recent
death.
Volunteers undergo an extensive screening process including an application, background check and a series of
interviews. Once accepted,
they undergo extensive train-
host a car and bike show at
East Second Street in Taylor
from 9 a.m. to noon. Taylor
city council member Robert
Garcia began the organization
two years ago.
“I’m just trying to do my
part in making the world better and the community better,”
he said.
Every month, proceeds from
the car and bike show go to a
different charity. During the
July show, the Williamson
County Sheriff ’s Office will
bring tactical vehicles for admiration and Victim Assistance Unit members will be
available to answer questions
and provide information.
“They do a lot of behind-thescenes stuff that people don’t
know much about,” Mr. Garcia
said of the unit.
“Bringing that program to
the forefront lets people know
you’re not alone if something
happens.”
ing, preparing them to handle
any situation. They also shadow a senior volunteer before
taking shifts on their own.
“Our volunteers come from
every different background
you can imagine,” Ms. Hobbs
said.
In June, the group had 21
calls. As Williamson County
grows, demand for services
expands and the group is constantly looking for more volunteers.
It also needs funding. The
group provides basic needs
for victims, frequently of domestic violence, whenever
possible. This includes gas
vouchers, toiletries and hotel
vouchers. Frequently when
area shelters are full, the group
will provide temporary lodging through hotels. Ms. Tebeau
and Ms. Hobbs concurred that
this was the greatest area of
need right now.
On Sunday July 24, the Taylor-based nonprofit G21, Giving in the 21st Century, will
In early June, a Hutto High
School football coach and science teacher was accused of
having a sexual relationship
with one of his students, a
16-year-old woman.
On July 11, Jake Fenske, 26,
of Round Rock was arrested a
second time, now on the second-degree felony charges of
sexual assault of a child.
According to an arrest affidavit filed July 12, the victim
and her parents went to the
police department to report
finding a note on the girl’s car
that read “5/2/1/6/1/4/3. Nothing has changed.” According
to police, the victim knew that
the note allegedly came from
Mr. Fenske as the first four
digits represented “the date
they made their relationship
official” and “1/4/3” is pager
code for “I love you.”
The message violated terms
of a bond agreement he signed
June 3 when he was released
from jail after posting a $20,000
bond, according to police reports. The agreement stipulated behaviors he was not to engage in, including having any
sort of contact with the young
woman.
Both Mr. Fenske and the
young woman have allegedly
admitted to police of having a
sexual relationship, according
to the affidavit.
Mr. Fenske resigned from
his position at Hutto High
School on June 7. He is out
of jail after posting a $150,000
bond, according to online
court records.

Traveler reconnects with doctors who saved him
By BRAD STUTZMAN
Gene and Charlotte Boley’s travels have taken them all over the
world. By their own estimation,
they’ve journeyed to approximately
90 countries.
Souvenirs inside their Guadalupe Trail home tell some of the
story, standing as witnesses to the
places they’ve been and the sights
they’ve seen.
Over here, against one wall,
there’s the intricate, hand-carved
cuckoo clock picked up in Switzerland. Over there, against another
wall, a visitor can admire matryoshkas – the little wooden nesting dolls
that fit one inside the other – brought
home from Russia.
But the couple’s best keepsake is
Mr. Boley himself, who almost died
when his appendix burst during a
1992 trip to China.
Last month, for the first time
since his life-saving operation inside
a Chinese hospital, Mr. Boley was
able to reconnect with the doctors

Charlotte and Gene Boley have traveled the world. Last month, the couple
reconnected with doctors who saved Mr. Boley’s life 24 years ago, after an
appendicitis attack in China.
who pulled him through. A friend,
traveling to China, and the wonders
of Skype brought it all together.
To say the least, Mr. Boley remains forever grateful for the skills
of his now-retired physicians, Dr.
Wei Doa Eng and Dr. Wu Yarlong.
Without them, “I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you,” Mr. Boley
said.
Experienced travelers
Mr. and Mrs. Boley, each 87, hail
from Illinois and have been married
since August 19, 1950.
Mr. Boley studied retailing at the
University of Iowa and worked in
the jewelry business.
He retired in 1990, and at the time
of their 1992 trip to China, Mr. and
Mrs. Boley were living in Birmingham, Alabama.
“We got tired of the cold winters
and moved south,” he explained.
The Boleys are experienced travelers.
“We traveled all the time,” Mr.
Boley said. “Ever since I was a kid
I wanted to travel. You name it, I’ve
been there.”
It’s been said Englishman
George Mallory uttered the three
most famous words in mountaineering – “Because it’s there.” – when
asked why he was climbing Mount
Everest.
The Boley’s trip to China was
something like that. They went
there because it was one of the
few major countries they hadn’t
been to.

ara is the youngest member of our merry band, a
beautiful, smart, funny, affectionate, accomplished
17-year-old.
She is also possessed with a
no-nonsense, pragmatic, git-‘erdone personality. Spending time
dreading an event or a chore, bemoaning one’s fate, or wishing
time away is not in her curriculum for life. She is finished with a
task and on to the next one while
I am trying to think what, when,
how and why I must get myself
in gear to tackle the task, which
I probably don’t want to do anyway but understand that I must,
at some point, give in and engage.
Age undoubtedly has its affect
on my attitude towards such
things; “don’t sweat the small
stuff – and it’s all small stuff ”
goes around in my head a lot
these days. I find myself looking
at the floor that needs vacuuming and thinking, “I need to…
but what happens if I don’t right
now…nothing!” It’s a slippery
slope.
Not for Sara. She is fast, efficient, relentless and competent.
When we take care of little chickens I spend time looking at them.
Just looking at them, thinking
scattered thoughts about how
they’re growing and what they’ll
look like in six months and
whether they’ll be good layers
and why that one has no feathers
on its neck.
Not Sara. They need to be fed,
watered and have the bedding
changed. She likes them, but
looking at them will not accomplish any of those things. What’s
more, leaving the wire cover off
their cage while tending them is
an invitation for chicken escape,
which they are always poised to
attempt and are very good at.
This results in Sara, who, as
mentioned above, is young, lithe
and fast, being assigned the job
of capturing the miscreants and
returning them to their safe haven. She accomplishes this in
short order, without much comment, but a sidelong glance out
of her big brown eyes tells me
that she would love to say “I told
you so!” but will not.
That same speed and quickness comes in handy at the goat
barn, where she has been appearing every hot, uncomfortable evening, long black hair tied
back and no-nonsense face on, to
help feed bottle babies and do
whatever other little chore that
might come up. Because she is
young, she has no way of knowing how much it means to be able
to say, “Sara, would you run and
get me that (red bucket, scoop of
mineral, blue collar) out of the
milk room?” when I am in the
Saanen barn otherwise engaged.
It would take me longer to get
up, get to the milk room, and
find the item than it takes her
to put it in my hands. Her long,
slim legs cover the ground double time while my achy old pins
don’t have to move. She doesn’t
realize it now, what a help that is;
it seems like nothing to her. One
day, alas, she will.
Many years ago, when I was
older than Sara is now, I used to
take the needle and thread out of
my Granma’s hands after watching her poke the thread at the eye
of the needle for what seemed
like ages to no avail. In one stab,
I had it threaded, and her heartfelt thanks as she took it from me
to continue her sewing mystified
me. It doesn’t any more.
Sara is also a pro at catching
baby kids that don’t especially

Of course, in 1924, Mr. Mallory lost
his life on the mountain. A similar fate
almost befell Gene Boley in China.

‘A bad feeling’
In 1992, the Boleys booked a four-week
trip to the People’s Republic of China,
home to more than 1 billion people.
On June 1, they were near the tail end
of what was to have been a week-long
cruise on China’s Yangtze River.
“A couple of days before I had a bad
feeling in my gut,” Mr. Boley remembered. “But when you’re traveling, you
eat a lot of foreign food, so I just ignored
it.”
Mr. Boley’s pain got worse. The ship’s
captain arranged for a small boat to take
the couple and their English-speaking
guide to the next port.
They docked at the mountain village
of Fuling. An unsourced Wikipedia entry states Fuling translates into English
as “river mausoleum.” It wouldn’t have
looked like good omen, for the ill American traveler and his wife, had they known
that bit of information.
Also less than encouraging was a
blunt prognosis Mr. Boley received from
an American nurse aboard their cruise
ship.
While still on the ship – as his burst
appendix caused him increasing pain –
Mr. Boley asked the nurse: “What are my
chances?”
She replied: “It all depends on whether they have antibiotics or not.”
Mrs. Boley wrote a short memoir of
their trip. In it, she recorded her terrified
reaction to the nurse’s news.
“Gene and I just looked at each other
in stunned silence,” she wrote. “Knowing
nothing about rural China, the hospital
or the equipment, we realized we were
facing a very serious situation. Finally, I
was able to regain my composure and say,
‘Please, pray for him. Please ask everyone
to pray for him.’ ”
After docking, an ambulance rushed
Mr. Boley to the nearest – and also the
only – Fuling hospital, built in 1901.
“It was just tremendous pain,” Mr. Boley recalled.
A big relief
In the U.S., surgeons perform some
250,000 appendectomies every year.
They were, however, less common at
that rural hospital in Fuling.
Mr. Boley was brought into the hospital the morning of June 1 and doctors

Thanks to a friend, Wayne Feng, who was in China last month, Gene Boley was able to communicate by Skype with the doctors who saved his life in 1992. Dr. Wei is on the left. Dr. Wu is in the
black shirt. Mr. Feng is on the right.
removed his appendix that evening.
The intervening hours consisted of
Mr. Boley convincing his hesitant hosts
to proceed with the operation.
The physicians were reluctant to
operate, Mr. Boley explained, because
they did not want to have an American
– the only American patient their hospital had ever seen – die on their watch.
It would have been less trouble – and
the doctors would have suffered less
dishonor – if Mr. Boley had died before
ever going under the knife.
Mr. Boley has a calm and understated way about him, so he seems – at least
now – to have taken these negotiations
in stride.
“If you travel,” he concluded,
“you’ve got to understand our way is
not the only way.”
Mr. Boley survived the 90-minute
operation and two-week hospital stay
that followed.
Remembering the ominous words
from that nurse on the cruise ship, he
was relieved to emerge from his anesthetic fog and see he was on the receiving end of an antibiotic hookup.
“It was pretty nice, when I woke up
and saw that bag hanging there,” Mr.
Boley said.
“The most important souvenir I am
bringing home is my husband,” Mrs.
Boley later told a reporter for the Fuling Daily News.
Reconnecting
Remarkably enough, life sometimes
really does play out in the seemingly
chance encounters we might associate
with novels or movie scripts.
After the Boleys returned to Birmingham, Mrs. Boley started writing
letters to some of the people they had
met in China.
The envelopes needed to be addressed in the Chinese language. Looking for someone who might be able to
do that for her, Mrs. Boley reached out
to the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The school referred her to a native
of China, We Wei “Wayne” Feng, who
was studying at UAB.
Their acquaintance blossomed into
a friendship that’s lasted for years.
In June, while on a business trip to
China, Mr. Feng tracked down those
life-saving physicians – whom the Boleys call Dr. Wei and Dr. Wu.
Mr. Feng served as interpreter for
the Skype conversation, which started at 7 a.m. Texas time and at 8 p.m. in
China.
“It was great to be able to talk to
those doctors,” Mr. Boley said. “I never
figured I would. I figured it was gone.”
Mr. Boley has never forgotten his
doctors. Even after 24 years, they also
remembered him.
“I asked them if they’d had any
American patients since me,” Mr. Boley said. “They said no, I was their only
American patient.”

ongratulations, you
made it out of bed. Let’s
have coffee to celebrate.
The problem is trying
to make coffee when
you haven’t had it yet! That’s a
pretty good excuse to visit the
local coffee house.
The coffee house was
once a place to gossip, do
business, catch up on the
news, talk politics and relax
over a cup o’ joe. Now it is
where we gather the same
information on a laptop
while indulging in a cappuccino!
In the mid-1600s coffee
houses sprang up across
Europe. Some claim that tipping started in English coffee houses, with a jar labeled
“To Insure Prompt Service.”
Historians, however, give little credence to the fun story.
A small coffee shop run

The
Tontine
Coffee
House, which opened in the
late 1700s, was the original
location for the New York
Stock Exchange.
Howard Schultz, Starbucks founder and CEO, had
a vision of a “third space”
between work and home
where one could relax without the worries associated
with either. Today, Starbucks
has more than 23,000 locations worldwide, including
three in Georgetown.
“Every
businessman
wants a product that is habit-forming,” wrote Maxwell
House adman Bill Benton,
of Benton & Bowles. “That’s
why cigarettes, Coca-Cola
and coffee do so well.”
The other habit-forming
indulgence at the modern
coffee house is the Internet.

want to be caught. They are
fast and agile, too, and built
close to the ground. They can
double back, spin, turn on a
dime, and just when you think
you’ve got one – you don’t. The
rest of the bunch usually get
into the game, and every kid
is running, leaping, bucking,
dodging along with the pursued one until the pursuer (if
it’s me) just stops and stands
confused and amused at the
antics.
Not Sara. She has been sent
to catch, and catch she does.
The kid doesn’t have a chance.
She can mix the formula and
give a bottle with the best of
them, but if you’re a bottle
baby you had better show up
when dinner’s on the table. She
often feeds Panda, Pandora
and Pansy, the three bummer
lambs who are no longer looking like pitiful orphans but fat,
round sheep-to-be, and they
are no picnic.
Sara’s mom comes over at
chore time, too, and together
they feed the bottle babies and
Beth’s big red doeling, Kai –
otherwise known as Nuisance
and other, less benign terms
born of her habits of leaping
up onto the chest freezer to observe the mixing of her bottle
or turning over feed buckets to
get extra bites from the pile of
spilled feed.
Beth also has a Jersey heifer named Megan, who is old
enough to go out with Papa’s
cows but still takes a bottle
morning and night. When the
cows have spent the day down
in the front pasture where the
tank is, they don’t always come
up to the house and Megan
must be fetched.
Sara gets in Papa’s cart and
roars off through the field to
where the herd is to call Megan. One night, the heifer simply refused to come with Sara,
bottle or not, so she fed the calf
in the field and came back to
the house.
“She knows the routine,”
Sara said in her best matter-offact manner. “If she’s decided
to be a cow instead of a baby,
okay. There’s snakes down by
that tank and I’m not chasing
her through all that grass in
the dark.”
Boom.
Megan straggled up next
morning none the worse for
wear and hasn’t repeated the
stunt so far. Beth was worried
about her since there’s no cow
in the herd that gives a rip
whether Megan is well fed or
coyote bait, but for Sara it was
simple. Call, come to the barn,
get fed and put up. Or not.
That granddaughter is good
help. She cartons eggs, helped
set up my aquarium after a
long hiatus, trots willingly to
check things out in the chicken
yard, throws the ball endlessly
for Pepper, the Boston terrorist
ball freak who has adored The
Girl since puppy days, helps
carry in groceries and, not the
least of her talents, straightens out my recalcitrant phone
when it goes on a crazy binge.
She’s good on the computer,
gives great hugs just because
she wants to and, dark eyes
sparkling, makes us smile just
to see her. Like her big brother,
Grandson Two, she’s handy as
a pocket on a shirt.
We’re two lucky old codgers,
Papa and I, to have all three
grandkids, good guys all.

Two women embark on 16-day tour across parts of South Africa
By ELLEN GREENEY
Mary Griffith and Jo
Stone began their 43-day African odyssey on March 26
with a two-week repositioning cruise on Holland America. They stopped in several
ports – including tours in the
Madeira Islands, Seville and
Cordoba – before ending in
Barcelona, Spain.
“Barcelona is on the same
time zone as South Africa so
we gradually acclimated to
the time change,” Ms. Griffith explained.
Adventure
Caravans
promised the two ladies an
exciting, unforgettable, funfilled vacation; an RV adventure that would be a life-enriching
experience
and
create memories for a lifetime. And for them, it was.
Their 16-day South Africa
RV adventure started with a
flight from Barcelona to Johannesburg.
They made visits to Free
State,
Malonjeni
Guest
Farm, Golden Gate National
Park, Midmar Dam, Basotho
Cultural Village and Shakaland.
They also spent two
nights in St. Lucia, Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park and Nsoko
(Swaziland); six nights in
Kruger National Park, and
nearby Sabi Sands Game
Reserve and Middleburg,
before returning to Johannesburg.
The African journey for
these two ladies did not end
there. They continued on a
nine-day extension to Victoria Falls (Zambia) and Cape
Town, South Africa.
During their RV orientation meeting in Johannesburg, they received the
logbook with mile-by-mile
turn directions, emergency phones, maps and walkie-talkie channels.
A Texas driver’s license
was sufficient to drive the 25foot RV.
“Driving on the left side
of the road took a little getting used to,” Ms. Griffith
said.
Traveling in a loosely
formed caravan, their first
stop was Malonjeni Guest
Farm.
“We were excited by the
game drive where we observed zebra, impala, kudu,
eland and springbuck,” Ms.
Griffith said. “The highlight was a dinner of typical
South African foods prepared by a local couple.”
Next was a beautiful
mountain drive to Golden Gate Park and Basotho
Cultural Village, which displayed dwellings from the
centuries beginning in the
1500s.
“Each building offered
a taste of the food and a
demonstration of the clothing of that era. I found it
interesting that the thickwalled, thatch-roofed 1500s
building was cooler than the
tin-roofed building of the
1900s,” Ms. Griffith said.
They enjoyed Zulu dance
demonstrations in Shakaland and watched as the
locals accurately threw a
spear 40 yards.
Then they spent two
nights at a St. Lucia resort
on the Indian Ocean.
“We evaded the hippos,
monkeys and mongoose
in St. Lucia, (where they
saw ‘Hippo Crossing’ road
signs),” Ms. Stone remembered.
On the Land Rover game
drive in Huhluwe Umfolgi
Park, they found a young
giraffe standing outside the
gate welcoming them.
Most of the animals ignored them, except one big
male elephant.
“He must have thought
the vehicle was a rival and
he came charging up the
road toward us,” Ms. Griffith said. “The driver continued backing up until the
elephant eventually turned
away. Other than this, we
never felt threatened even
when surrounded. We were
just part of the furniture.”
At Nsoko, Swaziland,
they were treated to a cultural dinner and dancing before
arriving at the Kruger National Park.
“Kruger has all of the
‘big five;’ elephant, lion,
leopard, buffalo and rhino,
as well as numerous birds
and less dangerous animals,” Ms. Griffith said. “It
was wonderful driving our
own RV, stopping when we
wanted but not getting out.
The RV camp was surrounded by a high fence and razor
wire. The gates opened at 6
a.m. and closed at 6 p.m. so
it was important to be back
in time.”
While in the Kruger area,
they visited the 161,000-acre
private Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Animals roam freely
between Kruger and the reserve.
“The
difference
was
we had trackers sitting on
a hood seat with mobile
phones to locate the animals
and we didn’t have to stay on
the roads,” Ms. Griffith said.
“When we found the animals, we just went crashing
through the bush until we
were within a few feet.”
They watched a young
leopard stalk an impala, lions rubbing cheeks in greeting, young cubs nursing,
young elephants tussling
and were surrounded by a
herd of water buffalo.
“Herds of zebras became
passé,” Ms. Stone said. “We
watched the lions for 35
minutes and the leopard for
40 minutes. Many of the animals were close enough to
touch. Kruger was why we
came, Sabi was the icing on
the cake.”
A typical day at Sabi: 6
a.m. tea, 6:30 game drive, 9
full breakfast, 1 p.m. lunch,
guided walks (no guns), 3:30
tea, 4 evening game drive,
7:30 back in camp and 8 p.m.
dinner.
Dinner was typically
grilled meats and vegetables.
“What we call butternut
squash, they call pumpkin,”
Ms. Stone explained. “They
use it in a one-dish casserole
that was very good.”
“Victoria Falls is about
one-and-a-quarter
miles
long and twice as tall as Niagara,” Ms. Griffith said.
“They are truly impressive,
best seen from a helicopter
because they are so tall you
can’t see the bottom.
“Baobab trees like the
one in Peter Pan really do
exist,” she continued. “Livingstone (Zambia) has resort
prices, but no economy.”
“In the market, people
were trading shirts or shoes
for products,” Ms. Stone added.
“Cape Town is a beautiful seaside city,” Ms. Griffith
said. “We saw the sights using the hop-on, hop-off bus,
visited a wonderful botanical gardens (Kirstenbosch)
and saw the penguins (on
Boulders Beach) on the way
to the Cape of Good Hope
where the Atlantic and Pa-

Parkinson’s support groups meet in G’town
other people that also have
improved.
“For example, there was
one gentleman that was using oxygen when he first
started and now has not
had to use it for a couple
of months. I believe it is a
beneficial form of exercise,
strength-building, and endurance.”
By ELLEN GREENEY
Parkinson’s is one of
those nasty, debilitating
diseases without a cure. According to the Mayo Clinic,
the disease is a progressive
disorder of the nervous system causing tremors, stiffness and slowing of movement. In the early stages, the
face may not show emotions,
arms may not swing when
walking, or speech may become soft or slurred.
People with Parkinson’s
disease and their caregivers
need not face the diagnosis
and future alone.
The Georgetown Area
Parkinson’s Caregivers Support Group meets on the second Thursday each month.
The Georgetown Area
Parkinson’s Support Group
meets on the fourth Thursday of every month.
Both groups offer information, encouragement, inspiration, hope and hugs.
“Our
support
group
mission statement clearly
reflects that we are not a
pity party, but we are here
to help members bridge
the gaps in their journey
with Parkinson’s disease,”
facilitator Mary Jane Berry explained. “We do not let
Parkinson’s slow us down.”
Ms. Berry’s husband,
Dave, has Parkinson’s.
“Both caregiver and patient must stay busy doing
the things that they enjoy
and fill their days with activities that bring them together,” Mr. Berry said. “Don’t be
consumed with what might
happen down the road, be
consumed with what you

have today. As they say in
Texas, ‘Carpe diem, y’all.’ ”
The group’s annual ice
cream social on June 23
offered a bevy of vendors
highlighting products and
services, especially for Parkinson’s clients.
Vendors included home
care assistance, medical and
mobility devices, special living quarters, hospitals and
clinics, sleep and massage
aids, transportation and
handyman assistance, pharmaceutical aids and exercise
options.
Other meetings feature
discussion groups, doctors,
pharmacists, therapists, a
mobile library and a Christmas party.
Non-contact boxing
A Parkinson’s exercise
option highlighted at the ice
cream social, Rock Steady
Boxing gym, is coming to
Georgetown.
“Rock Steady Boxing is
based on a fitness curriculum that gives Parkinson’s
clients hope by improving
the quality of life through
non-contact boxing,” gym
owner and coach Kristi
Richards said.
Rock Steady Boxing literature explains it this way:
“Boxing works by moving
your body in all planes of
motion while continuously
changing the routine as you
progress through the workout.”
During the ice cream
social, Ms. Richards put
pink gloves on Fay Falk and
walked her through several
boxing steps as her husband,
Ray, watched.
Ms. Richards is opening
the Georgetown location on
September 1 at 2534 Shell
Road.
“We will begin scheduling assessments in July,”
she said. “Classes will be on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday,”
Rock Steady offers different levels of classes to
accommodate the varying
degrees of Parkinson’s.
Ms. Richards currently
operates two Rock Steady
gyms in Austin and has
achieved success from the
boxing regime, which began
in Indiana in 2006 and was
founded by a 40-year-old Parkinson’s patient.
Sun City resident Roy
McDonald has participated
in the Rock Steady program
for more than three months.
“I enjoy boxing and
feel that it has made me
stronger,” Mr. McDonald
said. “I’m encouraged by
When Ms. Berry started
attending the support group
in 2008, there were about 100
members. Today, more than
380 area residents are members.
Ms. Berry has served
as the volunteer facilitator
since 2011.
Check out the group
website, georgetowntxparkinson.weebly.com, for her
monthly newsletter, exercise
and dance class schedule,
and links to a variety of dedicated sites with more information.
There are no dues. However, donations are appreciated.
Delores Hill, a life coach,
facilitates the caregiver’s
group Ms. Berry organized
in 2015. This group has 44
members.
Monthly meetings are
held in the Georgetown
Health Foundation Community Rooms, 2423 Williams
Drive.
A free Caregiver Symposium in Temple is planned
for July 23. To register, call

How to Write a Classified Ad
1. Choose two strong first words that tell what your ad is about.
(The first two - three words in all word ads are printed in boldface.)
2. Before you place your ad, either by phone, or dropping by the
office, write down your ad on paper to arrange your thoughts.
3. Give the price or price range. Many potential buyers won’t call if
they don’t have some idea of the price.
4. Tell all the facts or features. The more you tell, the more you sell.
List your phone or address and tell the buyer when you’ll be available.
