Two-plane crash claims life

Possible mid-air collision leads to aviation death

By Samuel Sutton Standard-Radio Post reporter

A possible mid-air plane collision led to the death of one pilot in Fredericksburg on Friday, according to Gillespie County Airport Manager Tony Lombardi.

Neither Lombardi nor officials from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released the name of the victim by press time

Monday. The crash occurred over a property

on Hayden Ranch Road and Tivydale Road during an annual formation training. During a flight, one of the aircrafts had a gear issue.

A two-plane crash killed one pilot on Friday and led to an emergency landing by another, whose plane is seen at left. -- StandardRadio Post/Samuel Sutton

"The procedures are to break the mishap aircraft out and send another one to be a helper," Lombardi said. "One was supposed to be in a trail position, kind of overseeing the other airplane.

HOLIDAY

Fredericksburg to debut

new `55 Nights of Lights'

Hoping to avoid large crowds, yet still support business

After the Fredericksburg Convention and Vistor Bureau's Lighting of the German Christmas Pyramid and Community Christmas Tree event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, community leaders found a new way to celebrate the holiday season.

The CVB's "55 Nights of Fredericksburg Lights" ceremony will debut at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, and run through Wednesday, Jan. 6, on Marktplatz.

Visitors and residents can experience an event that will include a 10-minute audio program, including

traditional holiday music and a history of the 26-foot German Christmas Period and Christmas tree.

The audio program will conclude with a grand finale countdown to the illumination of all of Marktplatz.

The CVB traditionally holds a lighting ceremony for the pyramid and tree on the Friday after Thanksgiving. This new daily event, according to officials, should encourage social distancing and give visitors something to see each and every day of the holiday season.

For more information, call the CVB at 830-997-6523.

Jerry Luckenbach, a retired nursing home owner, and Tom Musselman, a retired high school history teacher and former restaurant manager, won council member seats with 2,829 and 2,157 votes, respectively. Michael (Mickey) Poole, a local businessman, recorded 1,220 votes.

Luckenbach said he was excited about returning to the council.

"I just want to thank everybody for voting for me and believing in me," Luckenbach said. "I want to do the best I can. I'm going to listen to both sides, and make decisions on what I feel is right."

Musselman was pleased the election gave him another term on the council, and was happy for the high amount of voter turnout. He also thanked City Secretary Shelley Goodwin and her staff for their efforts in handling the election.

"They did an excellent job handling the city election, considering the circumstances," Musselman said. "Overall, I think things went well."

In the presidential race, the ticket of incumbent President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence appeared to have won Texas by 5.6 percentage points and its 38 electoral college votes. Trump is contesting the national election result, which currently shows Joe Biden with 290 electoral college votes. Biden was declared the

winner. U.S. Senator John Cornyn

won a victory over challenger M.J. Hegar by a 53.6% total to 43.8%.

In the Dist. 21 Congressional race, incumbent Chip Roy won the victory over challenger Wendy Davis by 52% to 45%.

Incumbent Republican State Sen. Dawn Buckingham (Dist. 24) claimed a large victory over Democratic challenger Clayton Tucker with a nearly 70% to 30% margin.

"Tonight the people of Senate District 24 have sent a clear message: they want experienced, conservative leadership to represent them in the Texas Senate, and I am honored to be that person," Buckingham said. "I would like to thank everyone for their overwhelming support in this election cycle."

Incumbent State Rep. Kyle Biedermann (Dist. 73) recorded an easy victory over Democratic challenger Stephanie Wilson Phillips by a three-to-one margin. Biedermann recorded over 94,000 votes in the district, which encompasses Gillespie, Comal and Kendall counties, to Phillips' 31,600.

After his win, the threeterm representative Biedermann said his plan is to continue promoting conservative values, and work to "preserve the beauty of the Hill Country."

He also said he will continue to work for legislation to ensure there is enough clean water in the area for the future, and to help control the rate of growth in the Hill Country.

Last Wednesday, Gillespie County Elections Administrator Anissa Herrera said of

the 3,182 requested mail-in ballots, 92% had been returned.

Herrera said early voting accounted for 11,243 of the total votes, and Election Day ballots accounted for 3,182.

In the first week alone, 7,136 of 20,379 registered voters, or 35%, cast ballots. Herrera said the first day of early voting saw the most voters cast ballots with 1,463.

In 2016, Herrera said a total of 13,375 voters went to the polls, including early voting and Election Day.

Herrera said the machine used to count early votes got through 10,300 ballots before it broke. A replacement was delivered in short order to count the remaining 2,400 early votes, she said, resuming the count at just after 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Pct. 2 Election Justice of the Peace Pct. 2 voters decided they wanted to legalize the sale of all alcoholic beverages, including mixed beverages. The measure passed handily by 3,024 votes in favor to 646 against.

Fredericksburg's 175th Anniversary Celebration

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will address supplemental feeding for West Texas cattle producers during a free "On the Line with AgriLife" webinar at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17.

The webinar will be held on the Zoom platform, but participants also have the option to call 346-248-7799 and enter meeting ID: 9460679971.

The topic of the webinar is "Supplemental feeding: Are you doing it the right way?" featuring Joe Paschal, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension cattle specialist, Corpus Christi.

"The webinar will run around 30 minutes," said Sami Lindsey, AgriLife Extension agent for Crane County. "We are thrilled to have an internationally recognized livestock expert presenting, and we'll also have a question-and-answer period. I hope producers take advantage of this opportunity to learn from Dr. Paschal."

Lindsey said too much or too little supplemental feed can impact a program's bottom line and Paschal will help producers understand what is or isn't needed.

"On the Line with AgriLife" was developed as an easy way for landowners and producers to easily receive up-to-date information.

Webinars are held each month and feature various AgriLife Extension agents and specialists discussing topics important to West Texas stakeholders, although Texans statewide are encouraged to join in on any topic of interest.

Additional information on the series may be found on the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Far West Texas District 6 Facebook page.

Videos of past topics and a schedule of upcoming topics are also available online.

Individuals can also get text reminders about programs by sending @OTLWA to 81010.
