23. By Marivel Resendiz m r e s e n d i z @ j a c k - sonvilleprogress.com New president, new desks and new paint is just a hint of the changes the com- munity will see at Jacksonville College. The historic Newburn- Rawlinson House is getting repaired to its prime and will soon become the office of development and alumni for Jacksonville College. G-III Quality Construction Company have battled against rain showers as they tackle on the process of making the house usable and presentable once more. George Argetsinger, man- ager of the company, said he is working hard to preserve many of the historic aspects of the house. “If you take too much away from it, then you're tak- ing the historic part of it,” he said. Working on just the out- side appearance of the house, Argetsinger said he is repairing many little things wrong with the house. The company is currently rebuilding the stairs leading up to the house and leading into the house. The past cou- ple of days, they have restructure the running band of the porch. “We had to add plywood to the bottom because boards were sticking out from the band,” he said. Arsetsinger said the school initially wanted to replace the front door, but he convinced them other- wise. “I told them we could pre- serve the front door and we could refurbish it with a bet- ter secure,” he said. Dr. Mike Smith said the remodeling of the Newburn- Rawlinson House is impor- tant to the college because it is the second oldest house in Jacksonville. “Some of the previous presidents have lived in that house and it was used as a hospital when the hospital burned down,” he said. Dr. Mike Smith said the remodeling of the Newburn- Rawlinson House is impor- tant to the college because it is the second oldest house in Jacksonville behind the W. A. Brown Home, also known as the Larissa House. “Some of the previous presidents have lived in that house, and it was used as a hospital when the hospital burned down,” he said. According to the historic marker, the history of the house travels back into time when it was first built in 1903 by Rev. John Madison Newburn originally from Neches.

The sports complex committee will weigh several possible locations at its next meeting Tuesday Jan. 24 at 5 p.m. in city hall. “The existing youth associations have outgrown the existing facilities,” said Mark Spencer, president of MHS Planning and Design LLC, who the city has hired as consultant on the project. “We looked at 13 or 14 different sites, and have kind of narrowed it down to two or three sites,” he said. “We are now looking at various costs for those sites — some of them need more infrastructure than others.” Mayor Angela Raiborn said the most economical area is on the Atoy Highway, near the Kampgrounds of America (KOA). She said the land is near existing Jacksonville law firm staff have weekly project to help community By Marivel Resendiz mresendiz@jacksonvilleprogress.com Wednesday is more than just a day in the week for the Richards and Penn Law Firm staff. Today is the day an unexpected person will receive a sur- prise gift and visit. For a couple of years now, the firm's staff have an ongoing Wednesday proj- ect designed to go out and help commu- nity members who need a moral boost during troubling times. “The staff has a done a really good job at finding people who need help and getting them help,” Ricky Richards said. Last week staff member Darr yl McGowan said his aunt's neighbor had surgery on her hand and he felt she was a good candidate for their project. “She needed some help, and I fig- ured we could help her out,” he said. The staff members bought her lunch and a “whole bunch of candles” and per- sonally delivered them to her home. Today the staff members have col- lected hygiene necessities and some canned food to take to Helping Others Pursue Enrichments (HOPE).

Progress photos by Marivel Resendiz Bullard looks to help low income families with housing By Faith Harper fharper@jacksonville progress.com BULLARD — Council members approved a meas- ure that could help low- income residents improve or rebuild their homes on Monday. “I'm really excited about it,” Mayor Pam Frederick said. “You have the oppor- tunity to take a blighted home and be able to start with a clean slate and build a brand new home.” The city approved Gary Traylor and Associates to write a grant proposal to the Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for funds in their HOME Investment Program. The program is supported through money from the Department of Urban Housing (HUD). According to TDHCA's website, the purpose of the program is to expand the supply of decent, safe, affordable housing and strengthen public-private housing partnerships between Units of General Local Governments, Public Housing Authorities, non- profit and for-profit entities. Mark Taylor, director of operations for Gary Traylor and Associates, said the company will finish the grant in the next few weeks and submit it to the state. He said the city could hear a “yes” or “no” from Texas in 30 to 60 days. “Right now the state has enough money to fund abut 14 applications — that is state wide,” Taylor said. Taylor said the grants are given on a first-come, first-served basis and there is no guarantee that Bullard will be awarded the grant funds. However, if they are awarded the grants, the city will go through a bidding See BULLARD, Page 5 See RUSK, Page 5 See PROJECT, Page 3 See HISTORIC Page 5 MRFAV1_Layout 1 3/1/12 4:08 PM Page 1

34. Style sheets Consistency. The Utopia Buffaloes clinched a third place seat in district with an 83-58 win over Knippa at home Feb. 14. Senior post Justin McCaleb led the Runnin’ Buffs’ offense with a 22 point game, and Mike Rodriguez was the high scorer for Knippa with 19 points. The Buffs began the first quarter by scoring first and kept the momentum going with aggressive rebounding and lots of scoring under the hoop, in addition to capitalizing on Knippa’s turnovers. The Buffs’ defense made passing and scor- ing difficult for Knippa, and the quarter ended with a 31-10 Buffs lead. The second quarter began with a bang as sophomore wing Tyler Cox passed to junior cen- ter Trey Justice for a basket. Cox then followed with a three- point swish, and the Buffs con- tinued to play quickly and aggressively. Knippa began to score more points and move the ball down the court, and the Buffs started to foul more as the game grew closer. The end of the quarter saw the Buffs bounce right back, beginning as Justice tacked on an extra point for the Buffs on a technical against Knippa. With four seconds left on the clock, senior point guard Tyler Martinez threw a long pass down the court to Cox, result- ing in a layup at the buzzer and a 53-30 Buffs lead at the half. The Buffs lost momentum after the half, as Knippa scored first in the third quarter and the Buffs had difficulty making their shots. Fouls once again plagued the Buffs in addition to turnovers and difficulty keeping Knippa from scoring. The quarter turned around for the Buffs when McCaleb had a strong drive to the hoop result- ing in a basket after a timeout. With their confidence back, the Buffs’ offense seemed to improve as Martinez sunk a three-pointer and then, later, a layup from a pass by sopho- more guard Luke Killough. The buzzer went off with the Buffs ahead 67-43. The fourth quarter saw much of the same aggressive rebounding and accurate shooting that the Buffs dis- played throughout the game. McCaleb stole the ball from Knippa, taking it all the way down the court for an easy layup. Martinez, who was fouled multiple times around the end of the fourth, tacked on extra points from free- throws for the Buffs, and the game ended in an 83-58 win for the Runnin’ Buffs. “Our offense was pretty good,” sophomore power for- ward Ryan Woods said. “We moved the ball a lot and made good passes.” The Buffs played San Isidro in Tilden Monday night in the first game of the playoffs. They won 58-45, and will play Calvert in Marble Falls this Friday. In the first tennis tourna- ment of the year for the Medina High School tennis team, Austin Thomas led the way, winning the boy’s singles championship. Thomas defeated Nic Rangel of Comfort 8-4 in the final match of the day. The Medina ace opened up the tournament with a 8-3 win over Hunter Kunc (Mason), then cruised to vic- tories over Tony Garza (Menard) 8-1, and Alec Bowerman(Boerne)8-2. In boys’ doubles Medina’s Hunter Hughes and Drake Lestourgeon teamed up for an opening win over Casey and Matt of Canyon Lake 8- 1. The Bobcat duo lost to Kirk/Williams (Boerne)in the second round by a score of 8- 5. Medina will travel to Mason on Thursday, Feb. 23, for their next tournament. Timing is crucial to golfing suc- cess. A good golf swing is a com- plicated assembly of moving parts, all timed so the clubhead is moving at optimum speed and in the correct direction when it strikes the ball. If the timing of any part is off, the ball will go in the wrong direction, the wrong distance, or both. Professional golfers time their schedules so they can be at their best when they play the most important tournaments. They are careful not to play too much or too little before major events, and try to balance the risk of physical and mental exhaustion against the need to play enough tourna- ment golf to feel sharp when it counts the most. Good timing can be the differ- ence in success and failure. Phil Mickelson’s play was unremark- able for the first rounds at Pebble Beach in the AT&T National, but he was at his best in the final round and came from six strokes back to win. On the other hand, Charlie Wi played very well enough to lead for the first three rounds, but his game deteriorated in the final round and he lost to Phil. Ted Brown of Bandera has cer- tainly mastered the timing of his golf swing. After already making two holes-in-one this year he turned in an excellent round of 78 to earn 8 points in the recent Good Old Boys tournament. His round was a model of steady play, highlighted by a string of 7 straight pars and a birdie on the always-difficult 18th hole. However, Brown needs to work on the timing of when he has a great round. Even Phil Mickelson needed help from Charlie Wi to make that great final round pay off, and the Good Old Boys weren’t nearly as helpful to Brown as Wi was to Mickelson. Bandera’s Roy Rodriguez gave Brown a run for his money and carded a 7-point round of 80. Walter Stroman of Boerne scorched the cold, wet course with an even par round of 72, earning 6 points and medalist honors. Max Konz, the Bandera fire chief and new member of the Good Old Boys, made his pres- ence known with a 5-point round of 88. So many points were made by the 6 players who braved the elements that each point was worth a paltry $1.00. Walter Stroman added to his medalist honors by being closest to the hole on number 2. Ted Brown fought back by hitting it tight on number 7, and Van Tom “Coach” Whatley of Bandera made his day worthwhile by nail- ing it on number 12. Whatley’s nice shot on number 12 was just one of many in a good round of 79. Roy Rodriguez increased his payout by earning the honors on number 17. The Good Old Boys can look forward to good playing condi- tions in the weeks and months to come. The recent rains should thicken the grass when spring arrives and the Flying L mainte- nance staff has been replenishing the sand in many of the traps on the course. The lush grass will be much appreciated, but the sand should be enjoyed in moderation.

Baseball Bulldogs open season against Devine SPORTS The 2012 Bandera Bulldog Baseball season got underway on Monday, Feb. 20 as the Bulldogs played host to the Devine Warhorses in a non-dis- trict matchup at Bulldog Stadium. The Bulldogs will enter the season under the direction of first year Head Coach Wil Shahan. Shahan takes over the head coaching chores after five seasons as a Bulldog assistant and looks to this season as a whole new expe- rience for himself and the play- ers. “This is a new year and I am a new coach so we will start at the beginning and go from there,” Shahan said. “We have a lot of kids that are working hard out there and I feel that the poten- tial is definitely there for us to be competitive,” Shahan contin- ued. “I can tell you that every- one out there has a legitimate shot at being a starter on this team,” Shahan explained. The Bulldogs finished off their pre-season action at Llano on Tuesday, Feb. 14 with scrim- mages against Llano and Marble Falls. A scheduled scrimmage with Central Catholic was rained out on Friday, Feb. 17, at Bandera. Varsity and JV Rosters will be available soon. Shahan hopes to field three teams, one varsity and two JV that would include freshmen. Later this week, the Bulldogs will compete in the Pleasanton Baseball Tournament on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 23, 24 and 25. The Bulldogs will play their first game of the tourna- ment on Thursday, Feb. 23 at 10:45 a.m. They will play a pair of games on Friday with the times to be announced. The Tournament finishes up on Saturday with the Championship Games sched- uled for the evening. Correction: In last week’s Home Run Derby story we credited senior Colby Stewart for hitting the longest ball based on information we received from the event. Coach Shahan corrected the error and informed us that, in fact, Levi Hay outdistanced Stewart for the top spot in the long ball sen- ior competition.

In their district finale played on Monday, February 13 at Medina, the Bobcats defeated Mason 49- 39 to earn their fourth straight District Championship and a bye in the first round of the upcoming playoffs. They will play the winner of the bi-district matchup between Pettus vs. Santa Maria to be played Tuesday, Feb. 21 at Rivera. Time and location for the second round encounter will be announced following the Pettus/Santa Maria contest. The Bobcats also find themselves in the Top Ten of the TABC statewide rankings at #10 going into the State Tournament. Andrew Landry, Sammie Williamson and Mitchell Black provided the scoring punch for the Bobcats against Mason with 17, 15, and 10 points respectively. Adrian Jackson added 4 while Paden Dallas pitched in three to the Bobcat offensive effort. Medina Head Coach and Athletic Director Tut Wardlaw had plenty of praise for his team and expressed optimism when discussing the upcoming play- offs. “We can always count on Landry, Williamson and Black to keep the offense moving and they are going to put points on the scoreboard as well,” Wardlaw said. “But it is our entire team that has gotten us to where we are at,” he continued. “What we have is a bunch of hard workers who bought into the program long ago. Three guys lead the team in scoring but everyone has a role to play and it’s those role players that do the necessary things to make us successful,” Wardlaw explained. Landry leads the team in scoring with a 20 point average while Williamson and Black average around 14 points per game. Williamson also grabs an average of 15-16 rebounds per game for the Bobcats. Paden Dallas and Landry average 4 assists per game for Medina. The Bobcats had a warm-up game at Ingram on Monday, Feb. 20 before returning to the prac- tice floor on Tuesday.

AUSTIN THOMAS Lady Bulldogs face off against Brennan High The BHS Lady Bulldogs varsity soccer team faced off against Brennan High School last Friday in the pouring rain at Bulldog Stadium. Both teams came into the contest undefeated in district play. The winner of this contest would be in the driver’s seat in going into the first round in district. Brennan jumped out to an early scoring early in the first half. A few minutes later Bandera tied the contest with a goal of their own. Thatgoal got things rolling for the Lady Bulldogs. At the end of the first half to lead the Lady Bears 2-1. After some half time adjustments the Lady Bulldogs open up their attack and reinforced their defense. Our defense really did a great job considering field conditions. They held one of the leading scorers in the area to one goal. Playing defense for Bandera were Madelynn Kinsel, Alexis Clements, Kati Fitzpatric, Ellen Hevenor, Jordan Hayes and Brittany Palacios. Both teams managed to score again in the second half despite the rain. Final score Bandera 5, Brennan 2. Scoring for the Lady Bulldogs were Montana Hicks, Analisa Gonzales, and Jordan Fazio. This win makes it a 2-0 dis- trict record for the Lady Bulldogs, after their Valentine’s Day victory over Kennedy High School.

The buzzer went off with the Buffs ahead 67-43. The fourth quarter saw much of the same aggressive rebounding and accurate shooting that the Buffs dis- played throughout the game. McCaleb stole the ball from Knippa, taking it all the way down the court for an easy layup. Martinez, who was fouled multiple times around the end of the fourth, tacked on extra points from free- throws for the Buffs, and the game ended in an 83-58 win for the Runnin’ Buffs. “Our offense was pretty good,” sophomore power for- ward Ryan Woods said. “We moved the ball a lot and made good passes.” The Buffs played San Isidro in Tilden Monday night in the first game of the playoffs. They won 58-45, and will play Calvert in Marble Falls this Friday. In the first tennis tourna- ment of the year for the Medina High School tennis team, Austin Thomas led the way, winning the boy’s singles championship. Thomas defeated Nic Rangel of Comfort 8-4 in the final match of the day. The Medina ace opened up the tournament with a 8-3 win over Hunter Kunc (Mason), then cruised to vic- tories over Tony Garza (Menard) 8-1, and Alec Bowerman(Boerne)8-2. In boys’ doubles Medina’s Hunter Hughes and Drake Lestourgeon teamed up for an opening win over Casey and Matt of Canyon Lake 8- 1. The Bobcat duo lost to Kirk/Williams (Boerne)in the second round by a score of 8- 5. Medina will travel to Mason on Thursday, Feb. 23, for their next tournament. Timing is crucial to golfing suc- cess. A good golf swing is a com- plicated assembly of moving parts, all timed so the clubhead is moving at optimum speed and in the correct direction when it strikes the ball. If the timing of any part is off, the ball will go in the wrong direction, the wrong distance, or both. Professional golfers time their schedules so they can be at their best when they play the most important tournaments. They are careful not to play too much or too little before major events, and try to balance the risk of physical and mental exhaustion against the need to play enough tourna- ment golf to feel sharp when it counts the most. Good timing can be the differ- ence in success and failure. Phil Mickelson’s play was unremark- able for the first rounds at Pebble Beach in the AT&T National, but he was at his best in the final round and came from six strokes back to win. On the other hand, Charlie Wi played very well enough to lead for the first three rounds, but his game deteriorated in the final round and he lost to Phil. Ted Brown of Bandera has cer- tainly mastered the timing of his golf swing. After already making two holes-in-one this year he turned in an excellent round of 78 to earn 8 points in the recent Good Old Boys tournament. His round was a model of steady play, highlighted by a string of 7 straight pars and a birdie on the always-difficult 18th hole. However, Brown needs to work on the timing of when he has a great round. Even Phil Mickelson needed help from Charlie Wi to make that great final round pay off, and the Good Old Boys weren’t nearly as helpful to Brown as Wi was to Mickelson. Bandera’s Roy Rodriguez gave Brown a run for his money and carded a 7-point round of 80. Walter Stroman of Boerne scorched the cold, wet course with an even par round of 72, earning 6 points and medalist honors. Max Konz, the Bandera fire chief and new member of the Good Old Boys, made his pres- ence known with a 5-point round of 88. So many points were made by the 6 players who braved the elements that each point was worth a paltry $1.00. Walter Stroman added to his medalist honors by being closest to the hole on number 2. Ted Brown fought back by hitting it tight on number 7, and Van Tom “Coach” Whatley of Bandera made his day worthwhile by nail- ing it on number 12. Whatley’s nice shot on number 12 was just one of many in a good round of 79. Roy Rodriguez increased his payout by earning the honors on number 17. The Good Old Boys can look forward to good playing condi- tions in the weeks and months to come. The recent rains should thicken the grass when spring arrives and the Flying L mainte- nance staff has been replenishing the sand in many of the traps on the course. The lush grass will be much appreciated, but the sand should be enjoyed in moderation.

Baseball Bulldogs open season against Devine SPORTS The 2012 Bandera Bulldog Baseball season got underway on Monday, Feb. 20 as the Bulldogs played host to the Devine Warhorses in a non-dis- trict matchup at Bulldog Stadium. The Bulldogs will enter the season under the direction of first year Head Coach Wil Shahan. Shahan takes over the head coaching chores after five seasons as a Bulldog assistant and looks to this season as a whole new expe- rience for himself and the play- ers. “This is a new year and I am a new coach so we will start at the beginning and go from there,” Shahan said. “We have a lot of kids that are working hard out there and I feel that the poten- tial is definitely there for us to be competitive,” Shahan contin- ued. “I can tell you that every- one out there has a legitimate shot at being a starter on this team,” Shahan explained. The Bulldogs finished off their pre-season action at Llano on Tuesday, Feb. 14 with scrim- mages against Llano and Marble Falls. A scheduled scrimmage with Central Catholic was rained out on Friday, Feb. 17, at Bandera. Varsity and JV Rosters will be available soon. Shahan hopes to field three teams, one varsity and two JV that would include freshmen. Later this week, the Bulldogs will compete in the Pleasanton Baseball Tournament on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 23, 24 and 25. The Bulldogs will play their first game of the tourna- ment on Thursday, Feb. 23 at 10:45 a.m. They will play a pair of games on Friday with the times to be announced. The Tournament finishes up on Saturday with the Championship Games sched- uled for the evening. Correction: In last week’s Home Run Derby story we credited senior Colby Stewart for hitting the longest ball based on information we received from the event. Coach Shahan corrected the error and informed us that, in fact, Levi Hay outdistanced Stewart for the top spot in the long ball sen- ior competition.

The Bobcats also find themselves in the Top Ten of the TABC statewide rankings at #10 going into the State Tournament. Andrew Landry, Sammie Williamson and Mitchell Black provided the scoring punch for the Bobcats against Mason with 17, 15, and 10 points respectively. Adrian Jackson added 4 while Paden Dallas pitched in three to the Bobcat offensive effort. Medina Head Coach and Athletic Director Tut Wardlaw had plenty of praise for his team and expressed optimism when discussing the upcoming play- offs. “We can always count on Landry, Williamson and Black to keep the offense moving and they are going to put points on the scoreboard as well,” Wardlaw said. “But it is our entire team that has gotten us to where we are at,” he continued. “What we have is a bunch of hard workers who bought into the program long ago. Three guys lead the team in scoring but everyone has a role to play and it’s those role players that do the necessary things to make us successful,” Wardlaw explained. Landry leads the team in scoring with a 20 point average while Williamson and Black average around 14 points per game. Williamson also grabs an average of 15-16 rebounds per game for the Bobcats. Paden Dallas and Landry average 4 assists per game for Medina. The Bobcats had a warm-up game at Ingram on Monday, Feb. 20 before returning to the prac- tice floor on Tuesday.

AUSTIN THOMAS Lady Bulldogs face off against Brennan High The BHS Lady Bulldogs varsity soccer team faced off against Brennan High School last Friday in the pouring rain at Bulldog Stadium. Both teams came into the contest undefeated in district play. The winner of this contest would be in the driver’s seat in going into the first round in district. Brennan jumped out to an early scoring early in the first half. A few minutes later Bandera tied the contest with a goal of their own. Thatgoal got things rolling for the Lady Bulldogs. At the end of the first half to lead the Lady Bears 2-1. After some half time adjustments the Lady Bulldogs open up their attack and reinforced their defense. Our defense really did a great job considering field conditions. They held one of the leading scorers in the area to one goal. Playing defense for Bandera were Madelynn Kinsel, Alexis Clements, Kati Fitzpatric, Ellen Hevenor, Jordan Hayes and Brittany Palacios. Both teams managed to score again in the second half despite the rain. Final score Bandera 5, Brennan 2. Scoring for the Lady Bulldogs were Montana Hicks, Analisa Gonzales, and Jordan Fazio.
