Main St. I data coordinator I am occa- Boerne, TX 78006 sionally asked “What is the 830-249-3053 - highest point in Kendall Coun- 2020: December www.boernelibrary.org ty?” What is it in our DNA that wants to know what the high In this Issue: ground is? Attaining a lofty Bragging Rights position in order to gaze down Texas Treasures from a position of strength…a Magical History Tours King of the Hill? Planning for Joseph Graham refuge in the case of epic Ancient Trails, Part 3 flooding in our hills? Or just fun trivial facts? Elevations are certainly relative from sea The Pink Boll Weevil Peril - January Toepperwein Rifle level to the Rocky Mountains. For instance, the state that is sometimes known to be 1909 Boerne Incorporation “flat as a pancake,” Kansas, has a high elevation of 4,039 feet…compare that number to In Memorium: our Kendall County hills. Kate Skinner-Klee - In some cases the high ground is obvious and sometimes dramatic. In the Texas Hill February Country, after being here a while, it’s a bit less dramatic because everywhere you look you see the high ground. And that is why the question of “What’s the highest elevation in Kendall County” is so interesting. When you get on top of a hill and all the surrounding landscape is lower than where you stand, it begs the question, “Is this the highest point in the county?” Over the years I’ve heard many claims that this or that hill/mountain (what makes a hill a moun- tain is a topic for another time) is the highest point, or the second or third highest point Digital Media Lab in the county? Some realtors use the claim to help sell property. Luckily for me the Comfort Garage question is easily an- swered. Thanks to the United States Geological Administration and the National Geodetic Survey (administered by NOAA) the geographic data is readily available. (Continued on page 2) 2 Bragging Rights, cont. Searching in Google for “What’s the highest point in Kendall County, Texas?,” the first result that shows up states Mala- kopf Hill is “one of the Summits in Kendall County, Texas” with an elevation of 1,762 feet. Is that right? Where does Mala- kopf Hill rank in “one of the Summits in Kendall County Texas”? And yet another result is from a realtor’s claim that this “28 Acres is the Highest Point in Kendall County and is located off Turkey Knob Road.” Which is correct and how do we know for sure? Well if you ’re one to believe that the USGS survey of Kendall County is correct (and I do) then the answer is available. The study of elevations is a huge topic and I won’t get too much into the weeds on this, but it’s safe to say that the average person does not need to know what Control Data, Monuments, Datum’s or Projections are, or even how they factor into determining our county’s highest elevation. Using the USGS paper maps requires looking for elevation text on the map. And one quickly realizes that not all “Named Peaks” have elevations noted and even some noted spot elevations are not named. Why are some hills named and others not? I don’t know the answer to that question other than to say that the person performing the survey used his own inter- pretations or local knowledge to name prominent elevations and those names made it onto the map. Here is a website link that you can use to find these names and elevations found on topo maps: https://viewer.nationalmap.gov/advanced- viewer/. If you are adventurous, you can toggle around Kendall County and locate the higher peaks, maybe even the high- est. If that is your plan don’t read any further. Spoiler alert: for those who like cliff notes I’ve prepared a list below of Kendall County elevation examples according to the USGS geospatial Climb Every Mountain: data and ranked them (from low to high)…these are some of the bigger Hills, Ranges, Mountains, peaks. See where some of your favorites rank. Buttes, Knobs of Kendall County Is our county’s award winner on the list? According to the data that I have on hand, Kendall County has an elevation range differential of 1061 Schleicher Mtn. 1704/1768 ft. ft. between the highest and lowest, with 1020 ft. being the lowest along Malakopf Hill 1748 ft. the Guadalupe River in the southeastern part of the county; adding the two together, Mount Riga 1801 ft. that would mean Wolf Mtn. 1810 ft. that our highest elevation is 2081.

As the award’s minimum threshold is fifty years, both establishments have been intertwined with the fabric of Kendall County and Boerne for over twice that win- dow; their legacies preceded World War I. With a one-time banner that read,“ Issued Every Thursday in the Land of Sunshine, Milk, and Honey,” the first edition of Boerne Star actually came off the press on December 29, 1905, Vintage Photo with Boerne Star Editor, E. J. Brucks (left) but with its first full year under its belt, has always claimed 1906 as the first year of publication. Over the years the Boerne Star has had many publishers, editors and locations. Prior to locking into its current offices at 941 North School Street in 2006, the Boerne Star’s offices zigzagged up and down and across Main Street in at least four prime locations. The Kendall County Abstract Company (KCAC) has a pedigree of 1913; when chronicled in the Dallas Morning News that year, it revealed familiar com- munity names of John Reinhard and H. J. Graham as incorporators. Over time, KCAC had several owners and toggled between three Boerne Main Street locations before they settled in around the 1950s at their present location of 103 N. Saunders. On Tuesday, December 3rd, Texas State Repre- sentative Kyle Beidermann and a representative from Texas State Senator Donna Campbell’s staff will take part in presenting each business with the Texas Treasure award. At 2:00 p.m., the Boerne Early Era Photo of Paul Holekamp Star will receive their award at their 941 North Abstractor with Long Term Ties to KCAC School facility; the KCAC presentation will begin at 3:00 p.m. at their 103 N. Saunders office. Both award ceremonies are open to the public, and our magical history tourists are invited!

Louden, & Péter Maitz (with Hyoun-A Joo, B. Richard Page, Lara Schwarz, & Nora Hellmold Vosburg) due for publication in 2016. https://scholarworks.iupui.edu Texas Alsatian, Medina County, Texas 1 Introduction: Historical background The Alsatian dialect was transported to Texas in the early 1800s, when entrepreneur Henri Castro recruited colonists from the French Alsace to comply with the Republic of Texas’ stipulations for populating one of his land grants located just west of San Antonio. Castro’s colonization efforts succeeded in bringing 2,134 German-speaking colonists from 1843 – 1847 (Jordan 2004: 45-7; Weaver 1985:109) to his land grants in Texas, which resulted in the establishment of four colonies: Castroville (1844); Quihi (1845); Vandenburg (1846); D’Hanis (1847). Castroville was the first and most successful settlement and serves as the focus of this chapter, as it constitutes the largest concentration of Alsatian speakers. This chapter provides both a descriptive account of the ancestral language, Alsatian, and more specifically as spoken today, as well as a discussion of sociolinguistic and linguistic processes (e.g., use, shift, variation, regularization, etc.) observed and documented since 2007. The casual observer might conclude that the colonists Castro brought to Texas were not German-speaking at all, but French.

    1 Gender Roles & Occupations: A Look at Character Attributes and Job-Related Aspirations in Film and Television Stacy L. Smith, PhD Marc Choueiti Ashley Prescott & Katherine Pieper, PhD Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California An Executive Report Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Our earlier research shows that gender roles are still stereotyped in entertainment popular with children.1 For example, female characters in feature films populate less than 30% of all speaking roles. A slightly better percentage emerges across our research on gender roles in children’s television programming. Not only are on screen females present less frequently than on screen males, they are often sexualized, domesticated, and sometimes lack gainful employment. To illustrate this last point, our recent analysis2 of every first run general audience film (n=21) theatrically released between September 2006 and September 2009 reveals that a higher percentage of males (57.8%) than females (31.6%) are depicted with an occupation. While females hold marginally more professional jobs than their male counterparts (24.6% vs. 20.9%), women are noticeably absent in some of the most prestigious occupational posts. Across more than 300 speaking characters, not one female is depicted in the medical sciences (e.g., doctor, veterinarian), executive business suites (e.g., CEO, CFO), legal world (e.g., attorney, judge), or political arena. More optimistically, 6 of the 65 working females (9%) are shown with a job in the hard sciences or as pilots/astronauts. These findings suggest that females have not shattered as many glass ceilings in the “reel” world as one might suspect.

    Masculinity in King of the Hill Valerie Palmer-Mehta

    Text and Performance Quarterly Vol. 26, No. 2, April 2006, pp. 181Á/198 The Wisdom of Folly: Disrupting Masculinity in King of the Hill Valerie Palmer-Mehta This essay examines the recurring themes of masculinity and sports that emerge in the first three seasons of King of the Hill and the ways in which the character Bobby Hill negotiates masculine performativity within a comic frame as the figure of the wise fool. Bobby’s folly within the context of sports functions to highlight the slippage in masculinity, opening up a space of ambivalence where subversive performativity is realized. The utility of folly in disrupting gender normativity and underscoring the instability of gender norms is illuminated. Keywords: Wise Fool; Folly; Masculinity; Performativity; King of the Hill The construction of masculinity and its representation in the media have been areas of bourgeoning interest in the past decade, as Ashcraft and Flores, and Vavrus, have demonstrated, and it is a topic that Hanke presaged (‘‘Hegemonic,’’ ‘‘Redesigning,’’ ‘‘Theorizing,’’ ‘‘Mock-macho’’). Performative and performance analyses of masculi- nity, while virtually absent prior to the 1990s, have begun to illuminate the myriad forces that influence the iteration and constitution of masculinity in a variety of cultural forms, such as the classical ballet company (Hamera), the Mythopoetic men’s movement (Gingrich-Philbrook ‘‘Good Vibration’’), the 1936Á/37 Federal Theater Project production of The CCC Murder Mystery (Chansky), and the military (Knight). Gingrich-Philbrook has examined the intersection of masculinity, homo- phobia, and performance studies in his analysis of the masculinist research economy that informed some scholars’ reception of Corey and Nakayama’s ‘‘Sextext,’’ a critical exploration of gay male culture, underscoring the importance of examining cultural Valerie Palmer-Mehta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Rhetoric, Communication, and Journalism at Oakland University.

Likewise, theories of animation often foreground its disruptive potential. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses girlhood studies, animation studies, and screen studies, this article analyses the representation of the two main girl characters, Tina and Louise Belcher, in the animated sitcom Bob’s Burgers (2011–present). Taking this concept of mutability as its central focus, it argues that animation is an ideal medium for representing girlhood, given its disruptive potential and non-linear capacities, whereby characters are often frozen in time. With no commitment to aging its young female characters, Bob’s Burgers is instead able to construct a landscape of girlhood that allows for endless reversal, contradiction and overlap in the experiences of Tina and Louise, whose existence as animations reveals girlhood as a liminal space in which girls can be one thing and the other – gullible and intelligent, vulnerable and strong, sexual and innocent – without negating their multifarious experiences.

  • History of Lindheimer Plaza

    History of Lindheimer Plaza

    History of Lindheimer Plaza Park’s Origins Lindheimer Plaza appears as a small “island” in the 500 block of Comal Street, New Braunfels, Texas. Busy city streets surround the park’s .28 acres and hundreds of people pass it each day. The Plaza is located in a residential area, just 1/10 mile from the Ferdinand Lindheimer Haus and within walking distance of New Braunfels’s Historic Main Street District. Although it is a small park, Lindheimer Plaza is rich in history and cultural charm. In 1845, Ferdinand J. Lindheimer, “Father of Texas Botany”, was given a parcel of land on the Comal River by the Adelsverein. Lindheimer had met the first group of German emigrants at the Texas coast in 1844 and served as a guide for their journey to New Braunfels. Prince Carl, Commissioner-General of the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas, more commonly known as the Adelsverein, awarded Lindheimer the property for his services to the early settlers. Prince Carl also encouraged Lindheimer to establish a botanical garden in the new German community. Before 1850, however, the Adelsverein sought to extend Comal Street and, to do this, needed to traverse Lindheimer’s Botanical Garden. Lindheimer granted permission for the street’s extension and received two additional town lots in exchange. By 1852, Lindheimer had built a Fachwerk home overlooking the banks of the Comal River. He lived there until he died in 1879, just a short distance from the park land that would bear his name. What we now know as Lindheimer Plaza originally served as a junction point on the busy, early streets.
